Relate Poems

Disturbing Untold Story

I heard a story today, it felt just like mine,
In this scary, monster city, it made my heart pine.
Someone hurt themselves, tore their own skin, you see.
Yes, a story just like mine, it came right back to me.
You are brave, so much braver than I.
You told your hurt out loud, under the open sky.
My pain,

SIN, SATAN, AND DEATH HOW THE THREE RELATE

In shadows deep, where darkness weaves its thread,
Sin's whispered lure, a path where mortals tread.
Temptation's fruit, a taste of what's denied,
It's here that Satan's cunning plans reside.

With cloven hooves and fiery eyes ablaze,
The fallen one, in wicked ways, conveys,
Deception's art, the master of the lie,
As Sin and Satan dance beneath the sky.

But Death, a specter

9Ja Palava

One jumble 
For the pains
So I no go fumble 
Even amidst trouble
For this rumble of life.

My brain
Dey burst
This thinking 
Don dey cause migraines
Make me won to migrate 
To a place 
Where I feel calculate and relate.

Even when I meditate 
I no fit get the kind state 
Of mind I need 
I've got a turbulent mindset

Relate

Insight can only come from Him, 
When the world attempts to trick us with sin,
We ask for wisdom to see and the love to understand,
The motions and intentions, and the heart of man,
For God to open our eyes and truly see,
The depths beyond what we think we need,
The truth behind what we feel and know,
The

A Spine Within A Heart

A spine within a heart

My heart aches within
Something pushing and poking in 
Poking out
Knowing out 
Trapped in

Happiness is within trying to seep out 
Through the little cracks of grey, it seems
Gold elixir fading away 
Into the grey clouds, we know today
Pouring with pins and needles
That just pins you and kneads you
Intoa paste that washes away

Hate it more when you can debate.

People Somehow Relate Or Say My Words Better Than I Eye

I know this is not a fantasy or fable

Something I have over a prolonged time

Constructed or invented

Deep down in my own imagination 

It just all now makes perfect sense

Looking reading back 

Treading over tired old ground

Seeing how I quite obviously

Can or do not relate to others 

Being that as strange as I may find it

Premium MemberToothache

Violate everything.
Upset all order.
re-stack the cards,
deal me to a world
where my id rules,
rid me of what cares
about right, wrong 
or you.

Or it's gonna kill me.

I'm Ahab.  
Says Stub,
"he's got what some folks ashore call   *
a conscience; it's a kind of Tic-Dolly-row 
they say--worse nor a toothache."

Way worse than a toothache.
Covers tangled,
pillows scrunched,

Just Relate With Me

Just relate with me 
Instead of judging Me
Instead of criticism
Instead of isolation 
Why not get closer 
And see me better 
You can't be far 
To know who I am
I know I have been 
That person you need to know 
Yes that mind your need 
That words closer to your answer
Despite who am not 
Yes cos

Premium MemberSomeone To Relate

To pen a piece of history,
a memory left behind
a painted piece of memory
that can not fade with time.

It is rare to have such a gift,
to share with strangers near and far
and no matter race or distance
they get just who you are.

I write because I love it,
a passionate poetic feast
words of hope and desperation
that can cut

I Can Relate To Daniel In the Lions Den

I can relate to Daniel and the lion’s  den. That’s the name my mom named me when I was born with sin.  My mom named me that name in the Bible. She saw that it came from God’s word which is reliable. Daniel is very humble. He reminds me of me even when

Smile

A smile needs no words
	It is sweeter than any compliment

A smile needs no sound
	It is louder than any extolment

A smile is irresistible
	It evokes curiousness

A smile in infectious
	It induces smiles on long faces

A smile can hide something
	It blossoms over what aches in our hearts

A smile cannot be hidden
	It signals every emotion in us

A smile is priceless
	It

Premium MemberCan You Relate To the Late Fifties- -

whatever happened to Juicy Fruit gum™
He doesn’t come around here anymore;

And where is the Beaver, cause Jerry Mathers
Does matter;

And what’s a Royal Crown soda;
As it behooves us to be older;

Stop lacing our arteries with fat and sugar cubes;
And who said my Nerf™ gun is bullet proof;

The is what I must become;
Rebirth, return to the time

Crimson Gallery

i once knew a girl. she liked to colour with red
she didn’t need a canvas or paper, 
she would colour herself instead, 
she hid her creations for a while 
because she was afraid of how people would react
but she showed me her gallery, 
creations of white and crimson
i rolled up my sleeve 
and showed her

Head Or the Heart

"For each of us there are different meanings, 
When I say the word, ”feeling”

Is your first thought,
From the head or heart

About a pain or ache,
Or emotions to separate

Happiness,
Or sadness

From the thrill of an event,
Or bubbled tears of lament

To have lost or won,
Something or someone

Felt inside,
Loss or pride

How it emotes,
Screams or chokes

Our voice from the air,
It’s
