Require Poems

Premium MemberYou deserve connections that don't require you to walk on fragile eggshells to reveal your heart

You deserve connections that don't require you to walk on fragile eggshells to reveal your heart,
where words flow freely like a mountain river, carrying truth and simplicity within them,
without needing to bend your soul into unfamiliar shapes just to protect egos,
and your inner peace to be an inviolable sanctuary, a place where your true self

What Does the Lord Require

The prophet, Micah, was inspired to pen
three righteous goals which are good for all men.
Three kinds of behavior on Jesus' A-list.
with viewpoints He requires must not be missed.

LOVE MERCY, first one that Micah mentions
much-more-involved than mere good intentions.
To love our brothers like we love ourselves
means what we might like, we put on the shelves
to do

Premium MemberResolutions Require Resolve

    A resolution requires resolve
      if the problem it is to solve

    A week or two just won’t do
      when a year’s required of you 

    Strength’s counsel, please admit
      Little

Premium MemberThe truth does not require anyone's presence to exist, only lies do

The truth does not require anyone's presence to exist, only lies do,
and I think about this, in an autumn twilight, when the leaves burn like lost dreams,
when the light breaks into thousands of shards of memories, and each shard is a forgotten truth,
but the lies, oh, the lies are carnivorous flowers growing in my heart

Premium MemberAll we require

Life’s inflicted many a scar
From God’s light, we’ve drifted afar
Desire begets fear, fear desire
Love and light is all we require

We drift through life, as though we’re blind
Shifting goalposts befuddle mind
We’re caught up in ego’s quagmire
Love and light is all we require

Milestones attained have left soul stained
Trapped in desires, we’re by lust chained 
We’ve toiled all

What An Esquire Might Require

He said to once again enquire
About the things he should acquire,
Which their Law School Programs require
From one seeking to be Esquire 
And he's shown a gown of a Choir
He'd seen in a jeep like Sequoia:
On a good friend,catechist Isaiah,
Then,firing the jeep in a mire
In front of a kiosk Of Keziah
"No to a choir- like esquire:

Unprecedented Times Require Unprecedented Measures

Life was as soothing as a breeze,
When it got endangered by a single sneeze.
Who knew that a microscopic virus,
Could frighten the might humans, controlling their desires.

Being the crown of the creation, comes with an onus
To fight this unprecedented time, by being focused.
No swords, no shield, no axe required, 
As social distancing and hygiene are desired.

Wear

Require Desire To Look Like a Liar

Require Desire To Look Like a Liar

Trump it always seems to require,
For him to be dedicated to a desire;
And we know,
He said so,
Telling tall tales looking like a liar.

Require Responsible People and More

Require Responsible People

Require responsible people to be reliant;
Simultaneously conforming and compliant,
Would spurn;
Tables turn,
Then did discover each one was defiant.

Jim Horn 

Trump the moron has become a menace;
Truly terrible at playing therapeutic tennis;
Balls bouncing;
Republican pouncing;
Water flowed into court playing in Venice.

A Mist Over a Plate Does Require Cleaning Asap

A mediocre mealworm was sat on a hill eating a sandwich and drinking some tea when along came an elongated machine with a red face and elastic eel ears which pinged and ponged. The mealworm was confused. Surely not here he thought. It only occurs elsewhere. But elsewhere is neither even, exact or existential. It

Broken Dreams Don'T Die, They Just Bleed, Bruise, Heal and Require

Broken dreams don't die. 
They bleed. 
They cry out for somebody to believe, believe me everybody cries sometimes. 
Even me 

Have you ever wondered what happened to those dreams we ignore 
Do they turn into nightmares in a rage 
Or do they simply fade away. 
I suspect the latter 

But it's easier to choose to

Premium MemberLove Does Not Require

... rain softened air perfumed with pine, 
... a mountain stream's rocky incline, 
... a path untried, 
... truth be denied, 
Love does not require you here with me.

... a gentle touch in morning light, 
... impassioned talk into the night, 
... a fond embrace, 
... a fall from grace, 
Love does not require our
