Short Depth Of My Soul Poems

I write from my heart,
from the depth of my soul.
To release the tension in my brain,
to sooth myself, and remain in control....

To the depth of my soul, I'm in love with life
Whether filled with joy or occasional strife
The good, the bad
Happy or sad
Too bad we don't get to go around twice...

To the depth of my soul, I'm in love with life

The good with the bad
Happiness and sad
Too bad we don't get to go around twice...

Way down deep in the depth of my soul
Lives a naughty wee genie who's in total control
I'm absolved of all blame
Stumble forth with no shame
Damn genie's responsible, I'm now out on parole

Images of night
Colors of the day
Messages of love
Sometimes tragedy
This is what I grasp

Laughter and tears
Depth of my soul
My heart moves me
To pen my verse

In wee hours
I create
My poems

Night owl
Paints her

World...

the depth of my soul
feeds my intellect-
for I’m always lost,
craving to connect

visceral woe shines, 
like an ebon gem-
such cynical fear…
my care does condemn

Truth is hung on the tip of my tongue;
It speaks the fear that I may die young
Before I know the depth of my Soul-
And all poems I've yet begun!

What will we find on the Other Side:
A place of Love or land of Lies;
A Realm of tears in Sorrow cries;
Or a World of Woe in heavy sighs?...

Silence kills the sound of my heartbeat 
As you stare quietly to the depth of my soul 
My heart is puzzled by your pleading look 
Wanting to ask you quietly with the same stare 
Your silence screams like a roaring thunder 
Your quiet words make a piercing noise

Can't you see me from there?
I'm standing right here.

Won't you take the first step,
Towards my open arms?

Don't tread on my heart,
It can be quite fragile.

Wouldn't life be better,
Walking hand in hand?

Shouldn't you try to reflect,
All the love in my eyes?

Couldn't you fully fathom,
The depth of my soul?...

I know who I am, because I talk to myself
I listen to me - I understand what I say
No I am not confussed
I reach down into the depth of my soul
what I fined is what I put there
No I'm not delussional
When I speak its not the first time I hear 
for whatever I say comes from me
No you might not know me, but I do
My name is
In Touch With Myself...

Hope
A glistening star
Twinkling in my eye
It brings light on my darkest day
Shinning into the depth of my soul
Reminding me
It will be okay
Sometimes things are not as terrible
As they may seem
Hope brings strength
Strength on days when there is nothing left
I find joy
Joy in my heartbreaking tears
All with one thing
We all have inside
Hope...

I long to feel,
The warmth of your embrace.
To kiss those lips,
An to gaze upon your face.

I miss you,
More than you could ever know.
You've reached,
The very depth of my soul.

I could close my eyes,
An refuse to see.
You are the one I love,
You are my destiny.

You inspire me,
To write this very night.
I'll keep writing, 
Till you're by my side....

I am a terrorizer
Captivating up the bullets
You had
Manufacturing a breathing going mad

I am who-does-he-think-
He-is-?!
An impulsive mist
Sweltering up a storming fist	

I craft up the laws
Uncontrolled
Inhuman, Medieval
Unwanted, furios

I am furious at
Those bullies,
Bullied me
Till the depth of my soul unseen

I  was what mattered
I am what i would have never been
For those who bullied
Me...

I loved you from the get go
I loved you when I didn’t know
I loved you against all odds
I loved you beyond all thoughts
I loved you contrary to what I saw
I loved you when my pain was raw
I loved you even when my soul was torn
I loved you from dusk to dawn
I loved you then, now and then wards on
I loved you because I found joy
I loved you and anticipated hope
I loved you because I was too tired to mourn
And I love you
From the depth of my soul....

Nights when my heart was cold

Frozen to the depth of my soul

Times when I cried

When all feeling seemed to have died

Times when I wondered where my life would go

I was lost and didn't seem to know

Times that I was weak but you became my strength

The strength that carried me through

Times where my faith was the only thing I knew

And I knew my faith would carry me through

Times I only relied on you

And you Lord pulled me through....

Oh
one day
I fell in
a muddy pit.
How did I get there?
Did someone push me in?
I just don’t understand this.
It must be my imagination.
Can someone explain this dream to me?
Oh no this can’t be happening to me!

Oh God please deliver me from this pit.
I’m crying from the depth of my soul.
Lord it’s dark and dreary down here.
I need your strength and guidance.
I need a helping hand.
Oh God I thank you
for hearing me
I’m coming 
out with
praise!...

I drank of your beauty
Sweet and velvety smooth
Your substance makes me tingle inside
Down to my very finger tips

You sparkle in the light
I caress, and you bubble in delight
You make me carefree
Down to the depth of my soul

Appearing red , full of passion
Or pale, as cool as a crystal stream
You make me happy
As I delve into your sweetness

You come to me each evening
To warm my heart
And together we will dine
With you, my fine bottle of wine....

Come to the mountains my lady fair,
Take my hand and I will show you what awaits you there.
Come take my hand follow me,
And be amazed at the wonders I have for you to see.
Look into my eyes and into the depth of my soul,
It is there that you will know and behold the love  I have for you alone.
Come back to the mountains my lady where you belong,
Come back to the one who has loved you for so long.
This is the only thing I ask of thee,  
Come to the mountains and to me....
