Unconfessed Poems | Examples

Testimony of human

Do not get carried away with a man testifying about you
The fleeting and lying world will dump you soon and leave you cold
Hard to explain your loyalty when your eyes are closed
Folly game they play, holding to unconfessed sins to do
Well, a judgment day will end them anyway 
One thing is for sure, evil has no power for sure
Covered by the blood of Christ, sealed by the holy spirit
Manifest the father walking the path kept ahead to endure

My life stories

Do not get carried away with a man testifying about you

The fleeting and lying world will dump you soon and leave you cold

Hard to explain your loyalty when your eyes are closed

Folly game they play, holding to unconfessed sins to do

Well, a judgment day will end them anyway 

One thing is for sure, evil has no power for sure

Covered by the blood of Christ, sealed by the holy spirit

Manifest the father walking the path kept ahead to endure

----end---

'Grains Of Salt'

To campaign
in poetry
but govern
in prose
Words stretch
till breaking
integrity
blown

Promising 
everything
sins
unconfessed
Bombast
and pander
the charlatans

Love Atropos

Never been in love
Though I don't know your password
I will give you mine.

It's silly love song
I do not know the lyrics
But my heart sing it.

I'm not used to dance
I have feet not synchronize
Love made it this time.

Mouth may unconfessed
But the body has language
That heart can relate.

I may not known love 
But since the time I meet you
Good reason to change.

Premium MemberIn the city of silence, shadows dance slowly

In the city of silence, shadows dance slowly,
The garden of forgetfulness hides a secret lowly,
Dreams are born in minds that no longer believe,
People pass by, lost in thoughts that deceive.
Tolerance is the virtue of those without faith,
But how to believe when all fades to wraith?
On the pathways of conscience, I tread with care,
Deciphering voices lost in shadow's lair.
It's not the evils named evil we dispute,
But the forgivable ones, we often refute.
The world's a stage, playing roles unguessed,
Lines spoken without feeling, unconfessed.
In the garden's melancholic magic, I find anew,
Another truth I often dream to pursue.
Whispers of wind carry memories of yore,
The living flame of hope that endures evermore.
In the stream of consciousness, I let myself drift,
Between dream and reality, in the rift,
Seeking the light lost in unspoken queries,
On the wings of thought, to faded answers and theories.

The Zhaiyk No Longer Overflows as Before

Cursed by the malice of narrow minds,
Or perhaps ensnared by deceitful designs,
Its azure waves no longer crash the shore—
The White Zhaiyk* no longer overflows as before.

Inmate are the waves that once struck the shore,
Now bearing the weight of human error’s more.
Choked within, its mighty soul suppressed,
The Zhaiyk* departs, unbidden, unconfessed.

Hiding its sorrow, resilient and strong,
The White Zhaiyk* was carry own pain along.
Even as its lifeblood seeps into the sands,
Its wounded soul still sings and withstands.

Gone are the fishermen casting their nets,
The gulls’ cries no longer, their sun has set.
Instead, a stranded shore greets you today,
With ships marooned, lifeless in disarray.

Zhaiyk* – the river in west of Kazakhstan

Premium MemberSiege of Srebrenica

Behold the coming of the infidel 
  with his tanks and brigades in battledress,
where once barbarians on horseback fell
  new destroyers hide new sin unconfessed.
Now Serb boots march where invaders have trod
  on Muslim Srebrenica in blood thirst,
but where, O tell, is their merciful God
  when the lords of genocide do their worst?
Will mortar shells discern installation
  from infant flesh in the stone cobbled street?
Might enemy siege end in salvation
  where ancient homeland and battlefield meet?
Or will more die in the cold snow and mud
when raised are partisan flags stained in blood?


              Written: April 1993
  

Wrote this during the last terrible conflict
in Europe during the Siege of Srebrenica
almost 30 years ago. It seems not much 
has changed. Back then it was Serbs and
now it’s Russians. History always repeats.

Always On My Mind

Time runs through the routine
day and night ordinary happens
my useless memory proceeds
your presence on my retina

You were always pilgrim and distant
my uncertain steps sans hope
dream of you beside  is my fate
eternal dream dweller persistent

How many papers written in vain
unconfessed times paralyzed
memory of moments of pain

your eyes, lips, were glorified
my senses now deadened
portion are dry, portion strong rain

The Way I Love You

Sitting alone under the moonlit sky, 

you made me realize,

my love wasn't enough for you to make a COMPROMISE.

EVERY TIME I wanted to turn to you

I was afraid you would find someone who would lean on to you .

I never said and you'll never hear

my untold words of insecurity are my DARKEST FEARS.

EVERY TIME you smiled at me,

was the time I dreamt of your future with me.

But I never thought about the game of DESTINY,

that my unconfessed love drove you away and made you HATE me.

And even though I can't see you anymore

I can still feel your presence making me sore.

Even though I can't reach you anymore,

I can feel your warmth just like before.

Even though it doesn't make a difference without you anymore,

the way you reached me makes me smile just like before.

And even though I don't see you anymore,

I will love you SELFLESSLY just like before

Premium MemberI Love You In 5 Languages

I love You in 5 Languages
David J Walker

How more than once 
A vestal dance 
A nights romance 
Gesticulates alone

Perchance we heard
The same music as we
Glanced through colored glasses
At the golden moon

Bowing in the ballroom
Vowing erotic promissory notes
Suspected but unconfessed 
In the street corner confessionals 

I love you said in 5 languages
While mocking  the intonations  of
foreign words and the
Meanings that one-night can hold

I will meet you in the
Abandoned public garden of
Lost calendars 
That only we can know

Premium MemberCombatting Spiritual Decay

With selfishness that had rotted my soul
Along foul stench of decay-causing pride
Succumbing to shame midst grievous defeat
For Christ’s blessed pardon, I humbly cried.

Midst unconfessed iniquities, heart fails
As vows toward holy striving lose might
Cognizant of transgressions’ stinking molds
I seek the Saviour’s light to do what’s right.

Admitting my own human nature flaws
Exposing debilities and defects
I beseech God for sanctifying grace
To be cleansed from every sin that infects.

Grateful to the Lord’s preserving* mercy
My spirit persists to fight decay signs
Anchored by His ever-enduring strength
In exuding sweet smell by truth guidelines.
 
*2Timothy 4:18 And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Waiting For Snow

The snow laden sky hangs heavy,
as if bowing under a burden
of unconfessed sins
it cannot discharge.

Pregnant clouds 
drag their swollen bellies
over fallow fields
that lie waiting for absolution.

Premium MemberGrace-Filled Pardon

Tormented by unconfessed sins’ grief gloom
My soul is vexed from its self-righteous poise
Defying it draws me nigh toward angst doom
Denying thereby haunts me with guilt’s noise.

Justifying as human nature feat
My heart blames pride of its dominion height
Midst the championing insult of deceit
Leaving me forlorn, bereft of bliss’ light.

Seeking forgiveness against distress-woes
My spirit clamors for serene haven
Trusting the Lord God to vanquish sorrows
Claiming His love’s clemency from heaven.

Grateful to Christ for His pardon-filled grace
I bow down to Him, exultant with praise.*

*Psalm 28:7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

Friendship

Friendship changes
the tone of our
sad words
and put a fresh
smile on our
dark face ...
Friendship understands
our weakness and not
rebukes and extends
a helping hand ...
Friendship shares
unconfessed secrets,
and confesses its
own secrets ...
Sincere friendship
worths further than one
gold mine or an
oil well...
and provides us extra love
than a casual
lover...!
Friendship is a medicine
for all ills,
it's an antidote
against evil
of our souls...!
