Thanks Poems

With grateful hearts
we offer our praise
You indeed deserve…
Lord, thanks for Your grace.

Midst thanksgiving bliss
we exalt Your name
worthy of worship…
toward service flame.

*Psalm 50:14 Offer unto God thanksgiving…

I walk by it daily, it shows a powerful exchange
Many people sit on it, its life`s little interchange
Many days it shows hope, the message is so clear
A mother holds her daughter close, and wipes away a...Read More

Its bright warmth into a wanton soul seeks

Hey! This one is my melodramatic mom’s!
One thing I have realised: No one else in the world can ever be more loving than one’s mom. 

I see five roundballers at the court.
I see her dropping dimes,
As she plays at interschool...Read More

Goosebumps expose exhilaration-bliss
Wonderment shouting from my heart’s abyss.

Tingly sensation victoriously delightful
Indeed, they’re physiologically helpful.

Relieving me from prophylaxis tension
They aid in my comfort room’s exertion.

Sweat release they fulfill in their presence
Midst my struggle to get rid of body’s toxic license.

A POETIC DESTINATION

I began writing  poetry at fourteen years
Of age,
An inherited gift from my grand-father
Whose sage,
Advice I always heeded,
Always strong with poetic guidance,
When needed.
My darling parents were not
Poetically inclined,
Loved them a lot, but poetry
Suggestions from them declined,
Poetry in our...Read More

Abandon futile attempts to run
Behold the process has begun
Step toward your darkest fear
Let’s flip the switch to a new frontier

Penetrating deep within
Evacuate your mortal sin
This brave new age is imminent
And it will be magnificent

Arouse you from your fantasies
Now descending into...Read More

Gold leaves are stirring 
Beneath my soles, scented leaves 
Like warm gingerbread wakes 
Prepping for the day 
Families give thanks 

See frost white cement 
Reminding me of cookies 
Oh the batches and tins 
This is how we know 
Christmas soon...Read More

Sometimes it’s hard to choose one memory
to deem the most significant of all.
Thanksgiving, though, is different. I find
that one by far is sweetest to recall.

Thanksgiving 1999 would be
the final holiday we all would share.
We feasted, talked, and dozed all afternoon.
The...Read More

THE WAX CRIES WITH HAPPINESS

Mom’s up early with the plucked bird, stuffing it.
The bare rinsed butterball, portions for six.
All day our mouths water, stomachs pitching a fit,
as we wait for the skin to crisp...delicious drumsticks.

Potatoes peeled and pressured, mashed, stirred
with...Read More

November Time

In the morning when the first frost falls upon the autumn flower
and the clocks are all turned back casting shadow on an hour,
it’s November once again with a quiet footstep rain
bringing memories so bittersweet of happiness and pain.

O!  Slip in between!  The Dukes of Darkness,
In this cold part of the year!

The Baron of Night!
The Baron of Wind!
The Baron of Seeds!

When the Copper Trumpet
Bells out, bright and clear!

And men brood the quiet,
Men who have sinned,
And recall...Read More

IN THE WILD 
( Re Post)

Early one morning, we begin our drive,
An awesome feeling as we arrive,
At our camp gate which, opens 
At six o’clock, 
Now we are in the African bush
Which, will unlock,
Moments that we have missed and
Remember from...Read More

Thanksgiving is coming
Emotions run high
Happy I am
To be with family 
Stuffing our faces
of food we made to which
Anger arises
to kill our buzz
Cause of family betrayal
So forgot the past
Be happy and live
For the moment 
To be in this joyous day
full of...Read More

my big family gets together for a reunion at Mom’s apartment,
using the reception area of the little place where she now resides.
Mom cooks the main dishes, the turkey,...Read More

"We sail through endless skies..."

Each night I hear her song inside my brain
grow weaker as our destination nears.
She beckons with a siren's sweet refrain
allaying any cause I have for fear.
A planet caravan conducts the quest
along the Milky Way's vast outer...Read More

I sing the Right to Purity, as a Deed
That God hath deeded us, with Fiery Hand
And writ His Word on Tablets we can Read
And given us the full and great command:
‘Thy Neighbor As Thyself, So Shalt Thou Love,
And Me, Love...Read More

The feet of twenty cousins were trampling and pounding the floor
As my Aunt Pearl's house trembled and suddenly became smaller.

While munchkin toddlers all dressed up waddled or...Read More
