Short Upheld Poems

Betray not I Beg
                                    Let betrothal be upheld;
                                    My Heart bleeds for you....

Mike Pence bravely upheld the Constitution
  Now Mr. T. wants to exact retribution

If the Presidency is in Mike's future
  Let Mr. T. bleed to death without sutures...

Unlike less widespread myths
upheld in ancient lore,
Unicorns stand out as
unique, pure spirits, with
unusual powers,
unequaled in healing;
utterly magical......

Good, or a trouble-maker;
Smart; mentally impaired;
In world's scales upheld. Litter of
Quick-flung impressions aired!

True Love accepts; each and all.
Blind to bias, whose eye
Piercing with inner perception
A divine soul does spy....

Jack Upheld His Namesake


her jack-in-the-box order arrived at her door
it was extra everything and she let out a roar
jack was quick and nimble
he added an extra pickle 
when jack left he upheld his namesake and lore

There’s a change a comin’
I can feel it getting through
That we can love each other
And it’s all up to me and you

Kindness costs nothing 
In this old crazy world
Of war and hate crimes a happening
But love will be truly upheld.

Morals aren't so black and white.
They're more of a gray scale all right.

Morals aren’t just about what’s good and bad,
How they’re upheld lies in how you make others feel.

Morals are more than what you once believed,
They’re more or less things we learn naturally....

There once was a small island secret
Where dragons they lived by an edict
The fauna and floura
They ate a plethora
'Till soon thier great size it did Re-strict.

komodo dragons
present day island secret
edict still upheld

Truth is a myth 
Myth is truth without facts
Fact is  proof of  truth
But fact is not absolute
So truth is but a belief 
A belief upheld by an individual or group
Upon which the blind universe rests
Truth is sometimes a made-believe charade. 
Honesty is personal and inherent...

I humbly regard God’s standard
Ascending with faith’s might upward
Worshiping Him with grateful praise
Serving the Master by His grace
As His called, upheld blessed steward*.

*Luke 12:42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward…

She is dressed in black,
standing alone, overlooking your grave,
her heart so strong,
yet her body falls weak,
those endless nights of pain,
she alone comforted,
only because of love,
her vows upheld,
the love two people must share,
a giver of time,
you never realized,
the true woman inside....

Serenity by serendipity
Accidently found on a street
Lookin for Jesus posed as a bum
Holdin a tip cup
Shaky hands from the whip of the wind
Love by hate 
Accidently placed in my heart
As a first love of drug
Making the righteous fall
And the sinner upheld
Into a fist
Pounding
Just 
Like 
My 
Heart.......

A-s the real purpose of life
L-ets you know the Creator;
B-e submissive to God,
E-agerly serve Him with ardor.
R-eal purpose of life isn't just exist neath the sky;
T-rue worship is upheld, Sunday twenty-third of July.

L-ove God with all your might,
A-lthough the world is in strife;
U-sing the sacred aim,
R-eal purpose
O-f life....

Born into rejection and dishonour, stares 
Against social flows and the pulse 
Sociology collided this time with genuine love 
Torn, but upheld by a divinity glide; 
Advocating that love means only two people 
Respective of authority and impulse 
Divinity was not power, but was for turning full circle...

March is a good time
to be a thin branch
in a treeless landscape.
You can catch hold of a wind-serpent
in your upheld hands,
a sea-creature born to be
the innards of the sky.
When high rains surf
a flat-faced landscape
mountains of air,
can pitch you pell-mell
onto darkly crashing shores,
margins you once mistook
for yourself.

To me there is nothing more sad than finding old photos
at a flea market or antique store
Their value upheld only in the frame that contains, what was once,
someone’s cherished memory.

Who were the people in these photos? What did they do?
Who loved them?
How is this their legacy?

Such a reminder to me,
Just how tenuous life as we know it can be....

Meant for more
Settled for less
What happened to being blessed

So much pain
So much sorrow
Can only dread whats in store for tomorrow

Expectations so high
Unable to be upheld
Too much energy has been expelled

Can no longer do it
Can no longer try
Can no longer live this horrible lie

It is over
Time has run out
Never understood what the fuss was about...

The window of the earth
Here's the spirit of peace
the way Getting to the past
Here's the culture and history
Blended together walking the future
With the tattoos of temporary beauty, 
Stays forever in memory
the shades of life
and the story of beautiful goddess
the human belief of natural being upheld.

I love you peace. Let's sail together. Layag Sug!

I'm like the wind
That dies with setting sun
I'm like the breath
That's lost from distant run

I'm like the stance
Upheld by feeble feet
I'm like the rain
That's turning into sleet

I'm like the Fall
That follows Summers' heat
Facing Winters' glare
Knowing I'll be beat

But still I have
My memories and things
To lift me up like puffy clouds
Upon a sea of dreams.

I don’t like doctrine,
It’s right before it’s considered,
Accepted upon suggestion,
Derived before it’s formed.

It’s understood without hesitation,
Passioned by cold-hearted teens,
Prized by the biblical loner,
Whilst being upheld as meat on leans.

It only comes from the belief,
That god exists as a proposition,
Without that there is rational thought,
And the condition of reason’s feeling....

For His goodness
Showcasing His mercy
Upheld by His compassion
Guarding me with His omnipotence...
...I give God the honour* He deserves
   while fulfilling His will with faithfulness-strength
   embraced by His care
   protected around His prudence.

*1Timothy 1:17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Walking along
The road of life
A flowing song
A dull blunt knife

Dragging across
The flesh of sin
The sea of loss
The next of kin

My minds not right
It is not straight 
It works in spite 
Of my mental state

I need some help
I can not sleep
Nor be upheld
All I keep 

And all I hold
Is to climb the steep
And to keep me bold

To help me rise
Umongst the saints
And keep my eyes
Above the waves...

Yesterday seemed so clear
For all the things you held dear
Life was safe and you slept well
On other things you did not dwell

Now there is so much to read
Of things that happen in the media feed
For influencers now tell the world
Of what to think and ideas upheld

Fake news now floods social frames
When slogans blacken innocent names
To want for better days I agree
But truth and equity we should see.

The night was not so silent, not for the soldiers at Bastogne.
'T was just before Christmas when they had to fight surrounded and alone.
"The crossroads cannot fall, " was the order to be upheld.
The winter owned the elements, but courage in hearts held. 
"Nuts!" replied the commander, when he was demanded to surrender.
Even today, December '44 is etched in the things we remember.
The US, Belgium, and Luxembourg remember this together....

Blessed
Redeemed
Grace-upheld
Heir of the King
Wondrously endowed to be a blessing*.

Recipient of God’s marvelous bounty
Divinely rich
I’m bliss-filled
To share
Gifts.

*Deuteronomy 16:17 Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee.
