Still Poems

Peace Be Still

Do we desire to live an impactful life,
To leave a legacy that would bless and shine?
Then let us yield to Christ’s gentle choice,
And surrender all to His will divine.

Our call is to be tender, to be true,
To walk in mercy, mild, and childlike trust,
Be gentle, sweet, in all we say and do,
With willing feet, be

Would you still choose me?

Would you still choose me?

I’m so “this” and I’m so “that,” but I’m never anyone’s favorite or their first choice.

Platonically and romantically, I’m nobody’s person, but somehow any and everyone can be that for me.

I’m always just there. I’m physically present but mentally absent from everyone’s mind.
why?

I thought I was “funny”, and I thought I

WE WILL CALL IT LOVE STILL

The heart will beat
to a rhythm blood can’t read
skipping sacred moments
bearing scars of battles past.

If love comes for blood
every kindness hides a snare
the gentle touch a leech
that takes far more than it gives.

Still, we will call it love
for it laughs at our laughter
weaves hope through our silence
clings to compliments like a starving child.

If love comes

Still In love

Few months left, our time's running thin,
Heart cries every minute, the pain locked within.
You never loved me, yet I gave my all,
Cared for each moment, stood through every fall.

Your eyes, a window to a soul so bright,
I lived for glimpses, day and endless night.
Though you didn't see, I was always near,
My love, a silent flame,

The Songbird Still Sings

They said the songbird
her wings twisted and torn
should quiet herself...
that the sky held no place
for the fragile or the worn.

Yet she kept a sky tucked inside her - a 
place untouched by any hand.
At daylight she let her voice rise
and though her body stayed earthbound,
her song lifted past the edge of flight.

The wind slowed to

He's still with me, Everywhere I go

And the saying goes,

That you reap what you sew.

But at this point I don't know,

What the hell I could have sewn. 

I can tell you, I didn't want your anger to grow, 

I could tell somebody, if I let the bruises show.

I'll tell you it isn't right, I shouldn't have to take the blow,

That you

THERE'S STILL TIME

Although fate may take our life 
down different paths than we have planned
and some of the wishes me made in childhood r
emain unsung…
as long as we are living and breathing 
there is still time
to fulfill some of he dreams we had when we were young.

DAILY GRATITUDE GLAD I'M STILL ALIVE

I’m grateful while living in a country so riddled with guns
where random people and school children are killed every day…
Where we send thoughts and prayers then try quickly to forget…
That I am still alive…and haven’t been gunned down…yet. 

Sadly, She Is Still A Psychopath

she still slams doors
like the world owes her rent,

still drinks the bottle
to the bottom,
still laughs at the blood on the floor
like it’s a carnival trick.

I kept thinking—
hell, maybe she’ll soften,
maybe she’ll learn
how to hold a hand
without drawing a knife.

but love doesn’t cure venom,
and I’m no doctor.

I’m just another fool
who tried to tame fire
and ended up

Still Point

When storm clouds gather
overshadow the sun
and darkness overwhelms
has me on the run
I look on you as the lodestone
to a sense of calm serenity
see you as a compass of my own
to a place of quiet tranquility
when hard times follow
in the wake left behind
and troubles overtake
only to remind
in a yearning world
with all its sadness
and is out of

Broken But Still Strong

when I watched my sister die after being hit by a truck
her blood red in the snow
something inside of me broke
I was shattered, a statue, unable to speak
so broken ... but inside of me was a strength
a fire that burned and somehow I healed

when my baby died at birth I was in a trance
as I

Be Still

Be Still

Be still it says
Be still it says
Commandment 
Clear and plain
But how in a busy world
Can I be still 
Just like God says?
With things to do
In every place
And folk to meet
And always more
A whirlwind race
No end in sight
No time to stop
And nothing do
Be still and rush no more.
Command is there
I can’t deny
So help me, God,
To

My Still Pool

Moonlight on my still pool of darkness,
deep with joy.
I offer you a silent kiss
           emerging from my chlorine, longing dreams.
Nights of solemn swims steeped in 
Gratefulness .
You rippled in waves like the Pool of Bethesda, 
         

Still Alive

Date: August 17, 2025 


Winds of change arrived at my door without a single hint of rain 
He asked me if I wanted to move to Toronto and I said a quick yes 
Every road leads to Rome when your desperate for escape 
No one knew

Still Paralyzed

Time wasn't on her side, for if it were, I'd still be alive 
Time caught up to her and strangled her, strangling me 
A hangman's noose wrapped around our necks, 
snapping them like brittle winter twigs 
I breathe, but I died when she died 
When the stool was swept from beneath her feet, 
My whole
