Opposites

I who am stubborn
stir moodiness in with pride
to snap out hurtful retorts  
 
love and forgiveness,
tolerates imperfection
and remains married to me

No, my Lord, 

It is not the perfection of Your creation that I dispute 

But 

The imperfection of mine!

Premium Member Of Strong Suits and the Rest of Us

Show me a suit that fits comfortably
      Underneath is a body toned to a 'T'

   Covering up God's imperfection determinedly
      The rest of us stew in silent agony

Our every imperfection
The errors made
Each lapse, a rough
And uncut gem
Perfected by some
Unknown blade

rejoicing in the gap in your teeth
from 3 meters out
my eyes sought you out
i could see imperfection

The Lost Room

Shadow caught 
       in mirrors 
   of imperfection,
           found
struggling around 
    the lost room,
        weighing 
          quietly 
        in prayer
            own 
worthy achievement

Doomed to failure
Scarred imperfection
In view of limited doer

Premium Member Perfection

We speak of God
as being Perfection

and yet we live lives
of imperfection

How is this possible?

Blaming it all on Freewill
is like blaming it all on the
Bosa Nova

A Perfect cannot create 
imperfection....

Flaws

Imperfection is beauty, flaws are art,
Purity is overrated, failing is understated,
Strange is innovative,
Battle scars make a soldier,
Perfect makes the heart colder,
Make mistakes, miss a shot,
Dare to fall, dare to try.

What Makes Us Feel Our Inability

What makes us feel our inability? is it our knowledge that our imperfection will be our downfall? or is it that we are in Gods image but not his life his perfection. what is our downfall besides death?

You Were Never Meant to Be Perfect

It hurts—
because you believed the lie.
It feels unreal—
because truth feels heavy.
In a world full of flaws...
why chase perfection?
You—
were never meant to be perfect,
only real.
And that alone—
makes you enough.

Requiem

silver fortress standing tall
golden secrets kept within
arid desert does surround
this perfect imperfection

treachery knocks upon the gate
armed with sweetest offerings
enters forth and loudly sings
a diabolical requiem

Paint Me As I Am

paint me in all my imperfection

and i'll be the pictur of perfection 

paint me in all my faults 

and i'll be flawless  

paint me in all my  wrongs 

so i have none 

paint  me as i am 

becauce i can not be changed
