On bended knees I felt the horrors
Of death as it gushed out blood on me
Behind closed eyes,
On perky breast of a female death....

one will count on the numbers
one will flip the cards
one waits for a rainy day
one on bended knees to pray...

On bended knees.

Epiphany
On Bended Knees
A fleeting moment
Quiet Please!
Time for reflection
Don’t ask questions
Her Eyes
Used
A different View
A Smile
Too early
Two sides to every story
Good-Bye

almost alone 
yes I was almost alone 
Mistress she chose to 
and keep me

Im collared and loved
down on bended knees

always honoring and cherishing thee
 My Mistress....

For years I lived in solitude
Wishing I had you to hold 
Trying to tame the attitude 
That made you stiff and cold

I'm walking bare on bended knees 
Braving the flies and all the bees 
Throwing lashes on fresh scars
Hoping to end our wars...

Virus, please go away
Your presence has a price to pay
We don't need to ask you why
You have caused so many to die
We will plead on bended knees
For you and your foul disease
To quietly leave this planet, please
So everyone can breathe with ease...

If I could be of simple mind
  and simple faith

And hold your love within my heart
  for just an hour

On bended knees my arms would raise
  toward heaven’s gate

Like petals reaching out
  —from a morning flower

Pull off the path
stop the onward rush.
Come to the aside
don’t worry or fuss.

Enjoy the breeze
the smoke through the trees.
Take time to pray
fall on bended knees.

Stop the onward rush
Hear the forest’s hush.
The brook’s gurgling
chime is for all of us....

Traveling the 7 seas
With the smell of salt 
Lingering in the breeze
Our faces glistening on the sea
While secretly trying not to scream

Traveling the 7 seas
On bended knees
Trying to forget the need
The need to deceive
For the sake of keeping
A loveless relationship afloat....

If I a man of simple mind
  and simple faith

Could hold your love within my heart
  for just an hour

On bended knees my arms would raise
  toward heaven’s gate

Like petals reaching out
  from a morning flower

He crawls around on bended knees
Hands on ground, he’s on all four
He lifts his arms, to gently pour
As water to flowers, he then feeds

But still, nothing, comes from ground
Too soon to be, and so he waits
He watches surely, now his fate
While watching quietly, not a sound...

I am me set me free
From all that barricades me in
Cleanse my soul
Make me whole
Let me begin again
Free me, please on bended knees
I pray to be released
Too much pain for me to remain
Free me, free me PLEASE



Inspired by a line in a poem written by Maria Williams:
 "I am me set me free"...

When love deceives,
  the heart to bleed,
  its truth an open wound

Forever long,
  time’s painful gong,
  rerung with every moon

When love deceives,
  on bended knees,
  and lost within the pain

All wishes fly,
  with hope denied
  —as emptiness remains

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)...

resting in my bed in    HEAVEN

As I laid horizontal asleep in my vision
When I rose I realized
I was instantly in the present of the Lord
Could not cry my tears no more
Had I died I was so sure
That I'd been here before
On bended knees I was so relieved
That God kept me
On earth, now in heaven

Cries as the midnight enters
tears so deeply rooted
on bended knees as a plead
surrendered
life's obstacles overwhelming
gathering of all surroundings
decreased.

Nights and days were the same
depression, not relaxed
in a mode unknown.

Life as an introvert
Prayers are answered
cries of joy
miracles happened
depressed no more....

I thought redemption had finally come
From prior sins and bad acts
But now I know I have not paid enough
To get out of this devil’s pact

No forgiveness, no act of contrition
No answer to my pleas
Not even begging for mercy  
Contrite, on bended knees

The wounds that I have inflicted
Will keep me in this hell
And darkness will surround me
For as long as I can tell...

When desire awakes..
The lingering ghost of years lost
Eyes hold each other up in prayer
Indeed,they pray in songs.

Wicked paths hands a'tracing
To a journey of no return
On bended knees and sheer reverence
Stripped of all else,but a smile

Reasoning is lost in this primal tune
Two melomaniacs lay down and dance
The melody is old as time
The beat is their heartsong!...

THE OLD THINGS IN LIFE ARE GONE
THEY WERE BAPTIZED, REPENTED ON THEIR OWN
A NEW LIFE BEGAN
A CHRISTIAN SAVED
AMAZED.

LIVING FOR THE LORD
NOT LOOKING BACK
THEY MOVED FORWARD
NOT BEING SLACK.

GENUINE AND SAVED
WITH GOD'S GRACE
THEY MADE IT IN
REPENTED OF SINS.


PRAYING, FALLEN ON BENDED KNEES
PLEADING
AS THEY ARE FORGIVEN.

NO TIME TO PLAY GAMES
SAVED IN JESUS NAME....

My doctor loves the birds and bees
And anything that makes me sneeze
Perfumed employees my heart tease
And indoor plants cause me to wheeze

My doctor says a little breeze
Picks up pollen from the trees
Though it seems like some disease
Its only fatal by degrees

Now I'm down on bended knees
Overwhelmed by Ph.d.s
Who did all they could to please
My doctor's bill of soaring fees....

Contentment


Being content is a state of mind

Thanking God above for being so kind


Knowing that we’ve been given all things to richly enjoy

Our gratitude should be mimicked by every girl and boy

We’re thankful for our blessings

When we go down on bended knees

When we willingly give to others

That’s when we know that we’ve truly received

Hours on bended knees,
followed by tears which flood
the entire soul until saturated,
repentance straight from the heart,
asking for divine forgiveness
to start a new life free of shame,
the solitary prayer is answered
by a beam of light penetrating,
the walls of the structure
directly to the humble requestor,
receiving the free gift of grace.

praying for a sign
hours of supplication
a beam of light shows...
