The Fatherland toiled
Us almost moribund, we
Appealed
To the mother
Whose nipples
Are sore from the mouth
Of the impertinent few;
Mother who nursed ten
Million beggars
And ten
Millionaires,
Mighty only in

In the quiet of the night, I asked the divine,
"What is the purpose, O Lord, of this life of mine?"
With a gentle whisper, in a voice so kind,
He replied, "Compose a song, let your heart unwind."
"Let your melody flow, like a river serene,

I ask myself too many damn questions that only I hold the answers to. My mouth is dry, and my eyes and mind are heavy. Give me something to quench my thirst. Don't have it be my last nor my first; give me a reason. I was hoping you could give me a... – by mad hippie poet | added by Oakley

A gleam brighter than the morning star.
Galvanized by its embraced, I basked in the golden glow.
So invigorating and soothing, embed me in this balmy ray.
Dazzled by the gentle glimmer, I cease to cogitate.
Caveat a marauder my way.

Avalanching in this benighted place.
Hollow noise like the roar of an angry bull.
Emotionally desolate, importune of answers.
Feeling castigated, in bleak. Veer not from me oh dear God.
Embedded in avalanche.
I bellow for luminosity.

Allurer's Embrace
Enchanting eyes
So brown like autumn leaves
Mesmerizing smile
Fairer than snowflakes
Beguiled by my delusion of what you are
Painted the picture so perfect
One's gaze has to be through my eyes
Portrait so perfect

Resuscitation.
I was doomed
as I was burdened with despodency.
My mind hung a curtain
preventing to weave a fancy.
It was a cold day.
The nature was bizzare.
It seemed all the creatures went to hybernation.
Chorus of birdsong was rare.

Christ said these words one night to me,
Accepting me, I set you free,
From sin and shame to plains of grace,
Accept these truths, your sins replace.
I love you not far less or more,
But love you now just as before,
And I'll show you a... – by David Lee Maggard | added by Ladybug001

Not from within but from above,
God touches me with his great love,
He inspires my words so they rhyme,
And gives these thoughts from time to time.
These poems aren't mine but they are his,
And I thank God now for my bliss,
He fills my soul... – by David Lee Maggard | added by Ladybug001

My luscious rose, you inspire me to write.
How I love the way you Lust, bloom and grow,
Invading my mind day and through the night,
Always dreaming about the tomato.
Let me compare you to a graceful prune?
You are more happy, beautiful and... – by Laurie Edberg | added by Laurie.edberg

Been so many days in this desert sand.
I walk this dry oasis battered and bruised.
These battle scars I carry, I carry with pride.
Each one tells the pain and heartache. The many restless nights. I felt the ground shake conqured so many... – by Ax.Barajas | added by axbarajas0419
