Short Surety Poems

Sorrow is a dark well; 
Each drop dripping,
Echoing throughout, 
With the surety of a church bell,
Through its delicate refrain,
Instant Pain......

I taste your enigmas 
bitter—then sweet—
I unravel them with 
wonder in my lips 
as surety black
paradox puzzlement  
brightens—opens—
birthing color....

I believe that an act of cruelty
Is to take away a child's security
So let it be said
When two people wed
Make sure it's a certain surety

Act of cruelty

I believe that an act of cruelty
Is to take away child’s security
So let it be said
When two people wed
Make sure it’s a certain surety.

Can it be 
without surety
no guarantee

Might it be
a miracle
not typical
seems mystical

Perhaps coincidence
or happenstance
what's the chance

Theoretically
it will always be
a Mystery!...

they are keenly felt
you have a knowing without knowing how you know
an absolute surety of purpose now

a clear understanding without words
you are being guided
steered steadily in one direction

you do not have to see them
to know they are there...

There is no need to look and stare
Take a picture, if you dare
Life is what you make of it
It gives back what you put out
It’s like a boomerang
Whether it’s joy, sadness, or a big shout
Think about it before you act
Know of a surety, it’s coming back

Damn she pretty
Pretty don't pay no bills
Don't cure no ills
Pretty is nothing but thrills
Frills
Pretty is no surety 
When you need a loan
Pretty won't keep you company
When you're all alone
Pretty is here today
Wrinkly tomorrow
Pretty is ephemereal
Elusive

smoke darkened glass
shone while revealing
a secret, perhaps truth
whose imagination speaks?
Decompressed thoughts evaporate
onslaught of pixilated moments
cats image, mothers face
forms informing 
standards fly with surety
blazoning arms,
lion rampant
another time
fascination ensues......

There is ever a thing to do
For there ever will be no time savor
Like birds twitter in dawn praise
Ever intimated from within
And singing they stage ever
Not mindful what a brooding jeopardy waylay
It matters not what a future lay
For all known to them is surety, 
What a beautiful dawn beckon...

Me, You, Us.



Titillate my perceptions

Apply flame to the desire


 

Reshape my belief in you

I want surety to persist


 

Enlightened as one

On our joy-ride

And during our misfortunes


 

Embrace my brittle heart

Transport me to my inner descendent 


 

I crave to be me

For you...

Subtle signs do indicate,
seasons for aging wane.
Travels spent, the many streets,
now walks down memory lane.

Life's experience, one's transformation,
shaped like molded clay.
Chapters written, 'tis history,
as fewer pages remain.

In conclusion, with surety,
it all comes to an end,
as for those you may have touched,
now your legacy begins.

Despair aught I care, in distraught 
adhere I thought. 
I fear unsure in revere, insecure of 
love immature. 
Unfair sincere demure, disdain severe 
I incur pain.
Allure in dire devour, deplore I cower 
pure desire. 
Bizarre amour to perish amiss, ignore I 
defer jealous affixed.
Temerity in moral of boredom, surety a quarrel of 
Vulnerable Decorum....

Much has been concealed; a treasure 
to be revealed.

The Holy Spirit doesn't play.  He wants
to start with you today.  He will teach
you to remove all the wrath, before He
can set you on your path.

He will guide you through bouts of self-
doubt, and all the pain that was in vain.

You will know with surety, once you
reach maturity, you are the treasure....

Our lives are long highways of twists and turns.
Some signs may delude us, point the wrong way.  
There are no roadmaps to aid as one learns.
Our lives are long highways of twists and turns.
There's no surety we'll get all our yearns,  
Happiness or sadness, random each day.
Our lives are long highways of twists and turns.
Some signs may delude us, point the wrong way....

LOUDER THAN BOMBS
SILENCE ECHOES
MY CROOKED HEART
IS ON THE MEND
UNCERTAINTY KILLS
HOLDING TIGHT
TO THIS BALLOON OF HOPE
WORDS, MY LIFELINE
TELL ME
WHERE I STAND
ANXIOUS HANDS
WRITE THESE WORDS
EYES DART, SEARCHING
FOR THE BEACON
DISAPPOINTMENT, A SURETY
I'M LEFT
WITHOUT ANSWERS
YOU TOY WITH MY EMOTIONS
A CAT AND MOUSE GAME
I'M NOT SUPERGIRL
BUT YOU ARE MY KRYPTONITE....

In seeking to find inner peace.
The chains of pain that won't release.
Seeking freedom with certainty,
In One existent reality.

The quest continues in the night,
Searching the corners for the light.
I come upon Him with surety,
In One existent reality.

Though struggles always ensue. 
The One I've found is surely true.
Life is now filled with eternity,
In One existent reality....

Sometimes you will wake up,
will run behind us,believe us,
We too will know ourselves.
These things are my truths,
love is also my surety,
I swear at you,
you are the life mine,
Sometimes you will say,
this will open your tongue,
you will also speak to this world.
Waiting for me that moment,
at the moment of your expressing.
Sometimes you will wake up,
will run behind us, believe us,...

   One side calls a militant a terrorist
     The other deems him a freedom fighter
   Each side sure the other is blacker
     Each side confident it is whiter... 

   But when it comes to mass rapes of Israelis
     to Hamas' fully-documented sexual atrocities
   There is one, and only one, surety

   The perpetrators and all their enablers
      must be eliminated ~ swiftly and completely

On arrogate life, should one stare so?
Under such gaze, Thanatos peeps thru!
Rained-out vigor streaks pastel of pallor…

Death beckons as the lime does bleed
evanescing color, bleaching to a white
spreading over oak as if Spanish moss
treading, lichen-like, over a tree spent
its tendrils holding in a choking surety
neath a receding eye so dark and worn
yonder-bound already on soul’s destiny…

To live wise, healthy, and prosperous, too
Promises, from God to me and you
Living Life as a king- abundantly
As Jesus is, so are we
No doubt- we're to walk in love
That's our commandment from above
We're above only and never beneath
Of a surety, God meets our needs
His word to us is life and health
Inside of it, is our key to wealth
Faith and patience is our way of life
Always forgiving, and staying, out of strife...

As sure as this morning 
I saw the sun
I knew right then
You were the one. 

How could I question this surety?
When the sun is displayed so plainly to me?

For as long as it shines, blinding my eyes
I know that forever you will be mine.

And as long as it’s heat beats down on my feet
It reminds me we’ll never bow down in defeat.

The sun is our rock-
As it’s beams hold true-
Forever asserting that I am with you....

When I feel a sense of upmost profoundment,
I know  it is poetry.
When my heart yearns for words of creation,
I know I've created some poetry.
When my words come flowing fourth following
excitement, joy, pain, or sorrow then and
only then do I know it is poetry.
Most of all, I know it is poetry, if my heart
burns with thoughts of needing more words and
when out of my heart comes the deep impression
of a warm feeling of surety....

Feels like the end
Busy
Scrambling a surety for a bend
Believing
Will turn to a trend

Never could feel for pay
But be a bit Daniel Day
With marilyn's kiss each day
All satisfied even just in a bay

Dreaming away peeling
But this feeling
Once like aubrey
Other brought comforting as a 
drey

Confident but yet
En route so hot
Sweetly imperfect
But worthy as believed
