Most days many scan their menu choices,
trying to decide on which choice of meat.
But across the world comes starving voices,
not opting for choice but something to eat.

From our abundance many willingly share,
*some from excesses so that others might see.
While many today may have scant, but care,
thinking, but for God’s grace that could be me.


*Matthew 6:4-6 KJV
That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.

Premium MemberSonnet On Mine Own Visiteth To the Future

I can't believeth all the things I seeth:
the streets with such strange vehicles which wend
their way so apace liketh those gents fleeth
as metal lions.  Nev'r has't i penn'd
a sonnet on such vehicles and highways. 
Nev'r has't i hath felt so unbelieving.
I might not but tryeth to traveleth all byways. 
Above me in the sky, huge birds art leaving. 
Of metal too art those gents, which art of charm. 
Oh, mine own, the females showeth their flesh,
and how the men art causes me alarm. 
And lo, the air!  How can the folks refresh?
Tall buildings, so few farms, and such big towns. 
So crazy art the folks h're and their sounds!

(I can't be sure that it's exactly right, but I am hoping this is how they actually talked in those times. To understand my poem better, you can go to Lingojam and just reverse the process translating Shakespearean English back into Modern English!)

Worry and Guilt

It is the worrying that is causing me to snap at others. 

As if responding to a snide remark. 

After trying to be inhibited for so long-

As if my inhibitions would ward off the thoughts I believe others are thinking. 

As if a thought could turn into my fate. 

But eventually, all secrets that seeth within. 

Will turn into a whirlwind of confessions. 

Confessions that confuse. 

Maybe they knew nothing after all. 

And the silence that was there all along-

Continues.

Falling Star

I know you say that it takes time
But time just ain’t healing mine
Trauma 
but I would be fine

If the water didn’t swallow me whole
Feeling the Demons pull
Dragged beneath
To the coral wreath
Till the Demons devour me and seeth 
Into my soul
Consuming my own body
‘Till nothing much is left of me
But A dreaded, feral, monstrous beast
‘Cause They. won’t. let. Go.

When I reemerge-
what you see
How can We be sure that it’s me?
I wish I knew who I was meant to be
A long time ago.
I feel the chaos stir within
The Devil wants my soul to sink
I swim
Taking chances on a whim
I don’t know…

Falling
Into the deep
Drowning 
In mine own beliefs,
Calling
Calling to the sea
Wishing
I could go Home.

Rising Tide

You thought that I’d be weak, one easy to subdue
You wove your web of lies and never followed through
But in the dark, I swam the depths none other could withstand
I fought for love, I fought the pain with bloodstained, aching hands

Through the dark I held him, but at dawn he slipped away
The warrior fought against the night and left to meet the day
But for his love and for belief, I’ll swim the sea again
You cannot comprehend the light when all you love is gain

I’ll rise from dust and flame, you cannot keep me down
A thousand drops of rain can force a man to drown
A churning sea of love and pain will seeth behind my eyes
You can try to stop me but man can't hold back the tide

Blissful to share with the needy ones’ welfare
Hearts that care engage in blessed love* affair.

Premium MemberConfronting Own Commitment

Facing a street kid pleading for bread, I was gripped with mixed feelings, especially that I  had in my possession purchased goods for our orphanage from a grocery with this label: “the good life you can afford.”  Oh, the social worker in me could not escape being confronted with this question: “Why does a child have to beg for a basic necessity... when it can be afforded?” By God’s grace, I have settled myself with the answer while fulfilling my commitment.  

emotions clashing
grieved midst reality angst~~~
still love* and care reign

* 1John 3:17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

Pray…

trust God

with faith’s might

…never doubting…..

assured by Scriptures

of immutable strength…

believing He grants what’s best

………. according to His time table

….... forever supremely perfect………..

Life Souvenirs 
By: Miracle man
11/3/2018

Each day I’ve passed through a doorway, 
To a never before place and time;
Though subsequent days may have appeared the same
It’s time I saw but once.

Life has bequeathed me physical scars; 
That is like a shadow box filled with medals.
And though my appearance has changed,

Things remembered are often punctuated with a scar,
And every scar has a story to tell.
 I’m reminded,

That the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart;*
*1 Samuel 16:7

Premium MemberOn a Passing Cloud There Floats a Dream

Do you ever lie down in grass and gaze,
pretend no duties call and let mind float,
play which knight wins the furious battle
somewhere in the wisps above daylong haze?

A lizard morphs into war time schooner.
Raise those sails! Ready the scope! Man the wheel!
Take a journey crossing perilous seas--
with dragons rising from deep and horror

creatures lurch from Sargasso and bare teeth.
It fades before the appearance of Fido.
Floppy ears turn pointy mouse or scholar.
Few adventures require battles that seeth.

Mind or heat can equally turn so tragic
or fun filled when elves spiral down slides
or angels hop cloud to cloud, bring fire
to sky ablaze with pink, gold, pelagic

and hope rests in rising billow's spark
lightning, rainfall, nourish of tomorrow.
Dream is a need we must cause to flower--
decorate minds and our chummy wood ark.

So tell me truly, tell well what anew beams
think hearty, think faulty but do reveal
do you ever lie down in grass, gaze, for
on a passing cloud there floats brave new dreams.

Dear John

You make me angry,
you make me sad,
you're the worst lover
that I've ever had.
You make me blue,
you make me cry.
I think it's time
we say goodbye.
You just don't try,
you just upset.
I've given you more
than I'll ever get.
You just wont do it...
will you hunny?
Get a job
and earn some money.
Then you wouldn't have to steal,
Get it together...
Time to get real!
Just carry on
being that way...
Nobody will want you,
alone you will stay.
Don't just say it...
Go on, leave.
Coz all you do 
is snarl and seeth.
You've got a problem,
you really do.
I'd see a shrink
if I were you.
I hope you get better,
yes, it's true.
Then start a life
with someone new.

Destress

Unmeasurable tended act,illegal 
part of time,the less-beaut part of 
life,stilless storms in every form. 
They set the course,the beaute 
rot they want,but above all seeth 
thee in heart slayed shape......
