Short Knoweth Poems

the blind sun
knoweth how
to read
the braille tea leaves of
the yellow river
she knoweth well...

hollow of our palm
an energy portal
healing hands
touch of soul immortal

present here now
in this density
mind knoweth not
God’s immensity...

Is it my grief?
That i behold?
That i knoweth ongoing sorrow
Waterless doves?
None other, a city?
Just? As a city dweller?
Dwelling, in mired filth?
Unconquered mime, play!
At once! Be tainting…..
Project at them
Boredom? You wandered…..

I fear our votes must be scraps or spoils
No rich man knoweth our toils
Upon us he performs a curse
For he is governed by his purse
We seem to draw no wit
From our previous failing
When into the snake pit
We go a-trailing
Honey words, sweet verse
Driven to hell in the politician's hearse...

Real effective love
has one true source

God creator of all
made it himself of course

The Lord is known
when His love is shown



(Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.)
1 John 4:7-8...

Who knoweth thoust toad
       than thoust legless load
be ye first to croak
       than thoust frog's now croak.
       Frog caught sight of croc
toad cast eyes on site
       got six of eight legs
ate frog's two, toad all
       Thoust frog apiece lept
thoust toad peace hadst kept
       lily pads, frog's faith
toads, bottomless fate....

My heart is like a garden.
For in here there is life,
And the sweet smell of pardon.
That sets me free from strife.
The Lord knoweth the days of the upright:
and their inheritance shall be forever.
A candle that gives light,
Buring in the heart like a fire.
Claiming the sweet drops of rain
Showers of blessing
In, the middle of my pain
All my wandering ways addressing.
And the sweet smell of pardon
I have inherited in a garden....

Oh old weed 
Thy feet weathered 
Like that of a tree 

Like a child 
Always carried 
Thy beauty left behind 

Trembling feet 
What a painful joy 
Scattered teeth 

Grandchild taking thy as fun
Knoweth not that 
Old though shall become 

Twisted face 
But beauty glance,once was
Sun,laughing,cause you're at the end of the race 

If this is what it means 
To get old 
Then proudly I will tell the wind 
That it's not in my will!!...

Thier are such things as secrets;
but to whom are they told?
by whom are they kept?
who knoweth the sum of everyone,
when spoken by the heart?
who knoweth the heart and heareth,
when to man they can't be heard?

Thier are such things as secrets;
and to GOD they are known!
by Him they are kept!
He knoweth the sum of everyone,
for by His heart they are spoken!
He knoweth the deep things and heareth
when man cannot, for He and the bearer are ONE!...

A synopsis untried, a life unended
The wheel spins as the days protract

A look at the mirror surrounding the dire
I feel my soul, my life and my being

Each day that I be
Each moment that I see
Fundamentally I decree

Knowledge be'eth my surrender

Yet self provoked it opens adventure
Lies and deceit, the dacoit he knoweth

So infinite and atomic
Indefinate to us all
Supposed awesome wonder at his behest
Quality awaits this unfathomable test...

Though thou hast sore broken us..
In the place of dragons; and covered us
With the shadow of death; if we have forgotten 
The name of our God, or stretched our hands
To a strange god; shall not God search this out ? 
For He knoweth the secrets of the heart....
Yea, for Thy sake are we killed all the day long
We are counted as sheep for the slaughter
Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord ? Wherefore hidest 
Thou Thy face ? Arise, for our help that we may love, You....

Listen to poem:

Of t-i-m-e, we knoweth not 

That which could stand still 

Transcends us all 

An opportune moment, of which to befall 

A flicker of hope, desireth more

To seize, to freeze, this window frame 

Pictures in the sand, ‘sandline’ recede 

Rainbow brilliance, swiftly hidden from view 

Precious pearls, of days brought anew 

Wonderment happenings, fastening through 

Peering back with merriment glance 

Lost in time, of but one chance

spring highlights birth bliss
gardens beautified by bulbs~~~  
daffodils blossom

blossoms waft freedom
midst birds’ chirping symphony~~~
blue jays sing  blest life

life's wonders God-wrought*
exploding with buds and sprouts~~~
nature splendor glows

*Job 12:9 Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this?

I hear the song of the ocean,
It wafts beyond the dune;

It floats along across the sands
And ebbs and flows in tune.

I feel its rhythm of motion
In the breeze blowing in;

And the dancing seagrass floweth
To its gay lyric spin.

I hear the song of the ocean,
Sweet notes upon these ears;

It beckons with soft white hands,
But my heart sees not or hears.

It is lost unto the notion
of love that might have been;

It beats its rhythm and knoweth
No greater song hath men....
