I once contemplated Suicide
I once contemplated suicide, But only if I couldn’t have you by my side, Reading my eulogy, shedding a few tears is nothing compared to the endless ocean before my eyes, we are given this one life, Lord will you accept my apology before I do the deed? Will you embrace me the way I’ve left...

Premium Member Once upon perdition :now a dedication:
This POTD is dedicated to Di11y Da11y who spoke the truth and paid the price! to the unheard poet you weren’t driven away you moved beyond them _______________________ Once upon perdition The apostate looked out his window, and started to believe As genuflecting pylons sent ramifications through the trees Chaos questioned reason, hoping for a guilty plea but the world was too...

Premium Member What Once Was
Fragments of a house foundation blacken by the fire. Never rebuilt empty lot nice size Good shade tress and high grass Potential promising Did a child perish here? People once resided Old swing set rusting Not long before it falls the wind sways the swing seat clanky cracky sound from old long chains Half a peach tree left from lightning strike years ago. Blossoms bud on tender twigs of...

Along came a hoopoe once again
Everyone loves him. A nice amicable guy, as he is no relative, he is no refrain. He starts within a rhythm when often a melody is surreal and soars along the flight of the song, up high, high above, where God knows everything about eternal time, beyond the worldly cacophony and hustle and bustle....

Premium Member Why should we start to command our souls just as David once did
According to John Barnett, our souls are controlled by our sinful fleshly desires. Left to their own devices they are double-minded and filled with doubt and dis- couragement. Therefore, we need to follow David's excellent example, and let him both teach and instruct us how to speak to and command our own souls. In order for them they to...

Premium Member ONCE AGAIN
ONCE AGAIN Once again, we cry; Again, a nation apart. Our togetherness has run dry, Whitered like a broken heart. Division kisses oneness goodbye, And once more and again, we cry. Greatness is in being together; Together, no matter the weather:- Once again, we must sow onement; Reaping a oneness that is God sent. ...

Once a whale
Once a whale spent a day at the beach, eating one too many pies of peach. Became bloated in the sun, to a weight over a tonne, now has an itch she can't bend to reach...

Premium Member I extend my hand across the waters, to feel your warmth and sweet fragrance once more
I extend my hand across the waters, to feel your warmth and sweet fragrance once more, To kiss your hand, to pass the burn of my lips kept from times long past, When moments scattered and became a past that left us still dreaming, And if I could hold you in my arms again, to feel your cheek...

Premium Member I once lost my thought on the paths of time, like a wandering cloud in the ever-changing sky
I once lost my thought on the paths of time, like a wandering cloud in the ever-changing sky, but I found it chained between the pages of a memory, where moments weave garments of longing, on the road of life, I wandered with my heart full of desires burning like stars in the deep night, and in the...

The voice I once forgot was mine
I was married, but to me, it wasn’t marriage. It was poverty-induced— a fate sealed by hunger and silence. I was an orphan, taken in by my mother’s brother— the uncle who accepted that I could live with him. But he was abusive, an emotional robber. He broke the seal of my womanhood when I was just into the third of the teenage years. Long story short— he...

Premium Member Love was once a wild fire, a living flame igniting every touch with the brightness of night
Love was once a wild fire, a living flame igniting every touch with the brightness of night, We spoke in warmth, in whispered desires, with hearts beating wildly and hands tracing the fire’s path, But love is not meant to remain a flame, not a spark that burns and flickers always the same, It softens, deepens, learns to...

Premium Member The House That Heard Us Once
Thee crumbling walls can’t hear my song, Though once they rang with joy and cries— Now silence stays the whole day long. My sisters’ love, both soft and strong, Lit up the dusk like fireflies. The crumbling walls can’t hear my song. My brothers helped me along, With quiet nods and whispered wise— Now silence...

A girl once
She wore perfume that smelled like a Sunday lie, And lips like rusted knives— A woman like that don’t settle, She just wanders through men’s lives. I gave her my keys and my winter coat, She gave me a goodbye note, Hidden within a half-full bottle And a half-finished murder quote. She was last seen...
