Short Bringeth Poems

Death bringeth forth peace,
eternity bigots belittle love....

Whence doth this happiness come?
That it maketh the sky a'gay (become gay) thus
A pinch of frolic, a cloudlet of fun
A lump of joy, a droplet of freedom forth
It maketh appeal all rusted fort
And apotheosize appalled courts
Maketh frolic and hallowed their counts and countenance
A time that bringeth gay unto the sky 
And raineth and watereth deserts awhile...

buds
shoot out
new birth hope
while nature glows
springing from the Lord
sustained by grace*
grows further
midst life
blooms

*Titus 2:11 - For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men.

Heaven's reach chastises earth
Rebuking folly of nature's worth
Such angry beauty of power displayed
Enlightening the dark of clouded haze

With applauding laughter, celebrates
Eternal skies reverberate
Whence bringeth tears of no remorse
Justly unveils Almighty force

Existence frays to wither away
Reminds the sun tis end of days
Oceans devour sparkling crust
Vanquished flesh returns to dust...

“How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings.” Isiah 52:7

Like voyagers on high seas scanning the horizon, restless souls
seeking deliverance from hunger, death, and disease,
heralding fresh vigor from the dawn, 
however hope does infuse with flesh, like
oars on the waves,
a semblance of life, a murmur or breath caught
by bright cadence of Spring, the master plan!...

Shall I compare thee to a sparkling diamond?
For thou bringeth attraction and lust for possession
And in the wave of heat we burrow through the heart,
Sometimes to be heart broken- or cry in palpable joy.
And when rocks do cast lust upon our being-
Death matters less to the joy you bring,
For you are a priceless possession
Who some are ready to place a price upon.

of birth and death 
                          birth bringeth joy, whilst  
                          death bringeth grief 
                          and shakes man in disbelief
                          uprooting his very belief in Living, 
                          for man remains mortal, 
                          irrespective of whether he is 
                          rich or poor, a king or a commoner....

What more can I write
Except to stagger
On paper
What good has it done
Only to deepen
Sudden depression
What help such has become
When pain becomes acute
What light it bringeth forth
Only a shadow
Of what once was
Such disaster it has been
In my lonely prison
In shackles of emotion
And dour- faced beauties
What hope has it brought
Except a similar one 
Of future forever’s
What more can I write   
Only that I’m down at heart...

What to me today did God bringeth?
Maybe it might be so much strength
To both my body and flowing feet
Who has seen Him sit in judgment seat?

Lately, bewildered I have been
Waiting to be saved from my each sin
Many things may not be able to afford
Except all of the love of my Lord.

God hears my poems and answers each one
When each day starts and is finally done
With your bounteous glory do bless me
Make my life become a joyful jubilee....

I have it all here,
Yet it's you want I near.
My heart still believes
You to be a dear part of me.

What more do I need,
When I already have
Everything indeed?

I have a dream,
Yet something that first should be
Redeemed would be
My generosity and honesty.

Bringeth me renewed feeling
You have done through
Your deed of befriending me.

I have it all already,
Though truly you are everything
I have searched for,
For what seems to be an eternity....

rains clear 
the moon shines bright
facing west 
thoughts take flight
with a crumpled pack of cigarettes
judgments muse minor regrets

torrential showers dry my eyes 
me and myself judge a shallow I
the past has passed
no future set
judgments squandered with some regret

a new day’s dawn bringeth light
lumination transcends plight 
obligations shorn of debt 
rationalized sans regret

hand me a key to unlock the sky
I seek the stars in the halo you ply...
