The pack awaits who God chastise....

I cry in the night 
To soothe my soul
My burdens seem lighter
As the tears roll
The emotions that chastise me 
Seem to fly away 
As I bawl my worries away...

Pegasus, the myth, seems amazing I'd agree
Something no doubt, it would be great to see
A winged horse that flies
Is hard to chastise
But I'd not want him, directly above me!...

Cruel and Chastise

There ended up being some big surprise;
We all were always equal in God's eyes;
Never complained;
Patient remained;
While cruel people others would chastise.

Stephen, man full of grace
Spoke out the word,face to face,
Unafraid to chastise or chide
As there was no place for truth to hide-
For this faith,was stoned and died.

Trump Tried To Impress

No matter what Trump would try to impress,
While under pressure having much duress;
Sure was so slick;
Of crop had pick;
Regardless, still had forgotten their address.

Jim Horn

Women he would chastise and also caress....

~I colored myself Holy if I stand before His Glory
Father leaves His rainbow as a promise
He said he shall not chastise us with water again
But in a blazen fire chard alas only through repentance are we spared~

Terrorize Horn Haiku

What is thing to summarize
About those that terrorize
Who we do despise.

They do appear in disguise
And then we will realize
Each day someone dies.

This is a word to the wise
If hard certain person tries
Terrorists chastise.

MR.F
Coerce and seductive is he
Dread like the comb and bee
It tears one who admires
Who can say it is required

Crave not to see it calculated
Else it gets you frustrated
Don’t with it be on table
Cos like water you become unstable

Who are you? Fear!
Oracle of tears-fear
He ask whom shall I chastise
O! Don’t be prize...

Only age and time will make you wise
Rearing kids and having to chastise
Will you come to know what it takes
And all the ingredients that makes
A Healthy Relationship...

Young, old or in between
With all things yet to be seen
Will soon be put to the test 
To see if we know what's best
In A Healthy Relationship......

I suppose that I should apologize

   Cutting her off in traffic was unwise

      With finger she saluted

         Air with vile words polluted

            She clearly intended me to chastise

Baptize me oh Lord with fire, 
test me to the very core; 
Prove my love for you is true, 
it's you alone whom I adore. 

Chastise me when I sin, 
show me how much you care; 
Protect me when I am in danger, 
help me with the burdens I bare. 

And when Ive taken my last breath, 
with life growing ever dim; 
Please meet me at your holy gates, 
and guide me safely in....

You shelter me from darkened skies
and conduct me from whence danger lies 

You harbor me when I'm unwise,  
when I fall down and cannot rise

You shield my body; you guide my eyes
you comfort me when my heart cries

You protect me from another's lies 
you love me through the lows and highs 

You forgive me, yet you don't chastise
your refuge lives, though my body dies...

A grim face, oft called wise by the wise,
Here’s truth meant a long face to chastise. 
Keep your fool all alive,
Time teaches us: be naïve,
It warns, therein all true wisdom lies.

kiss of light, embracing, promising quiet
breathless joy, comforting with kind, gentle sighs
whispering leaves, softly waltzing, can’t deny it
wonders, inspired, brilliant desires who chastise
forests bring whimsical wonders to riot
playing gaily, summer’s goodbye to revise
history reminds the heart who laughs shyly
autumn trembles its teasing flourish, slyly

Is it a crime
To pry apart rhyme
Stitch lines, unhitched
From native consequence

To warily marry
Unmetered time
By forced remorse
Unrehearsed
In patchwork verse

In my malaise
My daydreams ablaze
I long for eloquence...

     to drip, untripped

From my lips


The devil rides
my prideful hide
Chastise with whip and spur
Damning the span 
Between who I am
And who I wish I were.

Winds and Moon
whispering
gossiping
eyeing
in the dim night
on the unkempt head of willows

owl and bat chastise me
from the dark heart of bamboo garden

drunkard I am singing
on the alone night road;
suddenly broken sound of the bottle......

the sun is laughing on me on the pyre
Oh! it's morning 
I am on the burned corpse ashes!

I do not know-
who lives in the home of sun

Love is never perfect
people try their best
I remember Mum 
with all her faults 
written on her chest
she forever dressed me
in colours I detest 
she loved to see her darling
dressed in clothes of pink
at times she would chastise me
for things I had not done
like tied up to the clothes line
I did not think was fun
Mothers are not perfect 
yet try their best for you
she was ever helping
the people that she knew...

Oh! to be youthful and full of zest
Those halcyon memories arise
When frivolous day needed no rest
And mothers did firmly chastise.

Boundaries pushed, fun prevailed
When days were lived in the sun
No thought of tomorrow ever assailed
Golden halcyon days were spun.

Decades have fled and youth matured
Wisdom replaced bygone antics
Wheel of life turns generation assured
Is life just game of semantics?...

How many times must we got through this
Upon how many fictions will you insist
Again and again you recite veteran lies
Though I question each, I believe you each time
Each time you sound earnest, so sure of what's true
So I believe you once more, and am oft left to stew. 
How are you so good at telling these lies
Why do I bother every time to chastise
Why do I simmer and seethe and despise
When I can be done with you, and your loathsome lies...
