Some poetry of mine

[nightblade]

I finally decided to post some of my stuff here, the rest is at http://www.xanga.com/RedemptionUndeserved



Running from a hell
I do not weep
Trying not to fall
I cannot keep
this up.

All of my prolbems
Drive me away
Standing up to them
I can only stay
In the state I am
My heart like a gate
A breaking dam
In this world of hate.

Split in two
I will not go down
Embrace one
And slow the other
My heart will not dither
Nor break apart



[i][i][/i][/i]Face for a Convalescent Heart

(Done by myself and a very close person to me ^_^;;)

You smile
and something in me
makes me smile too

You laugh
and something about it
has me laughing too

There's something
something about you
that's got me thinking...
that's got me feeling
like when I used to feel my heart

Your eyes
they've have got mine
locked onto your gaze

Your voice
has me entranced
luring me to sing

There's something
something about you
that's got me thinking
I might want more
more than I was looking for

You laugh
and your eyes dance
and my heart is caught

Your eyes the hook
Your laugh the line
The way you catch my breath
And pull me up everytime

There's something
something in the words you say
that's got me feeling
feeling like you might just be for me



No Backing Down

What is courage?
Who's to say?
Why one will stand
Why one won't run away

Arrogance?
Hope
Disillusioned Soul?

Why he won't jump down
That despairing soul
Make his fears know
Let the dreary one show
Why does he go on?
Why won't he let go?

For what will he gain?
For what will he hold?
With death on the line
When none will be fine

Still he stands
Still he fights
Still stern in the face

He will not turn
He will not run
With all his honor
He shall not turn away


Divine Revelationthat you lifted me up, despite it all

Looking back on my scars
Those wounds from old wars
That I thought would never heal
That I believed would always reel

My Life to a halt
To need a divine jumpstart
And ask all over again
For your word in my heart.

And just when I thought
The ground would break my fall
Somehow I felt naught
Angel wings sprouted
You answered my call

Words could not express
Nor poetry touch you enough
To show my appreciation
For this loving invitation
This no holds salvation

Yet despite my faults
Despite my shame
Despite my sins
Despite my gain
And still the blame

Was always a sign
So you've spread your arms

And declared, "You're mine"




The future holds the presentSo don't peak, you'll ruin the surprise

Cold feet in the sand
A brisk morning air
Never a taste that ever goes bland
Water trickles over my toes
With it against them so bare
And a chill wind so calmly blows

Cloud-covered sky
And bright hiding sun
What are your secrets?
What will you tell?
How do you qualm my spirit
And sing a requiem for my heart
That makes me reflect
Upon far brighter days

When the sky's hid nothing
And bright sun wasn't hiding
Where the beach sand was drying
And from our sun shining

I don't long for the days
Of bright happiness
But rather live for the moment
And not by the stars
What good would it be
If told what is far

Past Present Future
Sockets of Time
Echo through hearts
Like motions of mime
But the past was once present
And the future will come
So live for the present
The here
And the now



Purpose: Divine or Temporal?

Crime
Stealing the time
Stealing the life
From one unfulfilled

Consideration
Of my lack of
Motivation
Just stuck in my head
Like I want to stick to my bed
And just run away
To another day
And finally realize a
pur-
-pose
to
my
life.

Is
it
to
speak the truth?
Give mentle amuse?
Act like a fool?
Simply praise God's name?
Hold my head up with shame?
Despite the lame
Hand and heart
To see his Holy Art
Created in you, created in me
Created to serve Him eternally.



A few more than expected... but please tell me what you think, I love feedback (whether positive or constructive)
