Only When Poems - Poems about Only When

You adore the moon only when it is full and bright

You adore the moon only when it is full and bright
across the endless expanse of the night sky.
That is why I fear your love,
like a storm approaching slowly, yet surely, in its silence.
Who can tell me that you will continue to love my shadows,
when my soul is blue and heavy,
when I do not shine under

The truth is that I am happy only when I am sitting in the car

The truth is that I am happy only when I am sitting in the car,
Between the place I have just left and the unknown destination.
My happiness is unbound only when traveling; when I arrive, anywhere,
It suddenly becomes a corner of melancholy and pain that bathes my soul.
In motion, I find that elusive balance,
A dance of

Only When Comes the End Will We Know

Who can say, when the reality is subjective?
We must count time as the measure taken.
For even a hundred years might be a second.
Then who has a second to throw to the wind?
When the reality of the moment looms large.
And the sound of static pressure fills the ears.
The smooth voice of God comes through clear.
The great

Only When

Only when,
the devoid of everything has value
when the complexity
is dissolved in wisdom,
love will win and will be;
the truth and the cure!

Glass

Glass like pottery
is fragile
and can easily break
ah! I fear to be
injured by broken glasses
as these things
 too are making up.

Life's Wheel Stops Spinning Only When

Life's wheel stops spinning
only when we stop giving and feeling;
the confusion that the world has created
can be so easily changed.

From the time I started believing
in love, I've been getting glances of trust...
hoping that there would be happiness sparkling
in unhappy eyes and lift pain from their chest. 

Life's wheel stops spinning
only when we get rid of

Only When the Sand Is Filtered Out Can the Gold Be Found

Don't say that slander is as dangerous as a deep torrent
And people who’re banished sink forever like sediment. 
Although with painstaking filtration the panning is bound, 
Only when the sand is filtered out, can the gold be found.
(Tran.)

Only When

Only when the sun went down
did man invent the light.
Or was it when the moon gave shine
that man would claim insight.

That even as the sky went dark
man would say it's night.
As only how the moon goes round
could man have said he's right.

Only When You Need

D-on't ask the Lord why
H-e doesn't answer every call; 
A-lthough He has all things, 
N-o way He allows the wrong
G-oal.

E-arly twenty-third of June, 
B-elieve in God's power; 
I-mmeasurable love is brought, 
D-evil's hate won't take
O-ver.

E-ternal God gives graces, 
C-all and He will heed; 
H-e will grant your request, 
O-nly when you
N-eed.

Only When You Love

D-o all things with love, 
I-t will keep you from gray; 
A-nger will take no chance, 
N-o grace is far
A-way.

O-nly when you love, 
P-ure delight will wait for you; 
E-cstasy, mirth, and rapture
R-emain far from blue.
A-ugust ninth Wednesday, 
R-eal blessing comes from above; 
I-t'll be given to you, 
O-nly when you love.

Only When You Leave Sin Behind

S-hadows of the night are gone, 
A-fter the darkness disappears; 
L-onely evening has faded, 
O-ne new morn wipes away tears.
M-arch tenth lovely Thursday, the sun starts to shine, 
E-arly dawn  has broken, and the weather is fine.

T-ry your best to please the Lord, 
A-lways obey His command; 
L-earn to fight for the faith, 
E-vil deeds
