Short Human Face Poems

in the lords eyes
these or not lies
there's no black
in fact
there's no white
brown or round
its just human face
we're
ONE RACE...

when the fire no longer bears its worth
it is a human face we so desire
and warmth to guide a weary soul
so tenderly through winter
we are breath and song and voice
and all of these we bare
of hope and desperate longing 
such that no man dies alone...

I am the shadow person
leaning against the brittle stone coughed wall
an ember amber
occasionally catching on the jutted edges
of an nearly human face
stumbling from one shadow waterfall
to next
none turn the head
for fear
i am looking back...

Evil kiss 
Unforgiveness unrests in peaces
Tearish things soulless soul 
We shall depart torn 
Bloodstained the shadow fades embrace
Hiking peak lower front teeth
Subliminal hiss
Brutal human face
Brisk
Evil kiss

And the deed
Is undying,
The wound is
Not a healing process.

And then
Small axes
Could not cut down
Big, big trees

An image,
A human face, a man;
An eye with tears
Flowing from it
Becoming his hair.

It is an
Experience that is
Its only chance.

An owl is a peculiar bird,

with strangest voice you've ever heard.



He has an almost human face.

I'd recognize him any place.



He hasn't very much to say,

but still he says it night and day.



No matter whom he's talking to,

He keeps on asking, "Who? Who? Who?"



In hot July or cold December,

your name he simply can't remember.

Sometimes the heart gets worn down by life's tears,
and the soul struggles to fix the human shell.
Time shows the weary eyes thorns of troubles,
yet the spirit strives to escape despair's cell.

A hurricane of tears moisten each human face,
teaching the mortal mind about wisdom's sight.
Character blossoms from pain's harsh lessons,
while inner strength is begged for from heaven's light....

I Am That I Am pervading all space

That was until I acquired a human face

The brain was a slave, it is now my master

A whirlpool of thoughts moving faster & faster

The duality of life gave birth to illusion

Dwelling in the mind, it became the ‘I’ delusion 

I search in vain for the ‘Me’ with my mind, never found

For the mind is in ‘Me’, not the other way around

A meek Monet, a gentle Van Gogh
I may seem too nice and mild, though
The moon knows my true name

In lust I ascend to claim my prey
Goblins to gobble, dragons to slay
New blood to tempt my game

I brand the highest spruce with my mark
I am as white as the night is dark
Silent, floating prowl

As encroaching dawn takes starlight's place
Revealed beneath my human face
Soul of snowy owl.

Just like the rings on the tree
That mark the passing of years
The lines upon the human face 
Reflect the laughter and tears
From a sapling small to a full grown oak
The weather it's taken it's toll
But there's nothing nicer in a forest of green 
Than taking a leisurely stroll
So here's what I'm saying,
when you look at the face
Those lines have a story to tell
Be proud,enjoy life,laughter and tears
And wear your Story well ....

There inside a man lies a real gem
But how unfortunate, this
Man does not see
It lies untouched like an untapped treasure

Its value surpasses the glory
Of the human face
And speaks better things 
Than man's outward appearance

It is more precious than jewel
And sparkles better than finest gold
Through it is the real man revealed
And by it is life lived well

This is the unfading beauty
Of a gentle and quiet spirit
Oh how great is its worth
In God's sight!...

The river, with her sweeping bends,
Gives us pleasure like old friends
With all the character of a human face,
Etched with contours, using a touch we trace.
And as the seasons come and go,
This weathered look we come to know.
There’s no natural way to slow down time,
But to live in hope of the divine.
Occasionally coursing and sometimes slow,
As all-day pressures take their toll.
And as it ebbs down to the sea,
We return to nature to be set free....

I clasp my hands upon the cheeks of a sinful man's cheeks defenestrate him as he flies in the sky away from the house he was cast out of only for me to feel dysentery my belly opens up.  From the protruding from my belly, a tumor with an almost human face vomiting serpents coalesced with the head of iguanas and connected to my tumor. The man whom I threw came back tenfold a battle ending with one kingdom standing to bare witness to something older coming for us all....

Admit it!
Look in the mirror
    and see the 
face of 
Jealousy
Despite the
    fact that you 
have achieved some things
others will know
      that you seek 
a not - so - subtle revenge
    deep in your heart
But wait until the
      weekend 
  when you can let
your hair hang down
    lose yourself in
the sounds so skillfully 
   produced by urban musicians
   Yes, as Blake said 
jealousy has a "human face"
But so does peace
and yes - foregivness...

Polyhymnia, muse of sacred poetry
This poem I give so that you may see…
The GOD that made the heavens above
Also filled the world with faith and love.

For HIS hand touched every human face
And each creature nestled in its place
The moon that shines thru dark of night
The sun that rises with brilliant light.

Our hands folded in hope and prayer
We seek forgiveness, our sins we bare.
HE stands by us in our pain and strife
As HE waits for us in the afterlife....

Gazing on the meadow, glowing all a bright with flowers,
I fail to see a blossom wasn’t nurtured by spring showers.

Colors envelop this small world, and none the better be.
We all behold the beauty, as far as eyes can see.

But, for some ugly reason, as some glare upon this planet,
They try to conjure reasons why God placed some people on it.

Let me cut right to the chase, each and every human face
Has a right to their own place, as flowers of the human race....

I keep moving on 
I keep pushing myself down
Don't know where

I'm going
Don't even know if
I'll even be found

Nobody knows me 
I never give that much Time 

I keep moving on
I keep pushing myself down
Pick myself up off the ground

Swallow my tears and fears
Cause all everyone sees 
Is a human face

Hidden behind a form
My scar's cutting deep
Like a knife slashing me 
In my sleep 

I keep pushing myself down
Don't know if 
I'll even 
Be found.....

Spread mottled wings,
a large hairy head
laid flat upon the window glass
clinging to a force-field.

Up close, eyes as black as bat caves
glimmer from the shine of a flashlight,
but of themselves there is no glitter
nor any gleam of being.
An empty shell driven only by instinct?
Antenna wave, search.

The creature cannot possibly know
what a human face is or
even its own appearance in the glass.
It cannot comprehend the import of what it sees -
can it?
Can I?...

Little girl comes to you cautiously, gingerly; does she dare to trust again?


Behind each human face is a hidden world that no one can see.
Constantly coming to haunt me
Over my shoulder
In my mind all the time
That thing
This isn't something you just say 'get over it' too
Creeping slowly; dare I trust again?
I scream
Then anger runs out of my cheeks
Sorrow fills up my bosom
Depression wells up my soul
But now I release you from my control
I forgive you forgive you for what you've done....
