Blackberry Blue

A distinct color
Is blackberry blue
Its blackness shaded
In silvery shine
Like Bahrain pearls
In deepest hue
Light changes it
Like sweet dark wine.

A Short Poem Like Ogden's

Perhaps because
Of too high taxes
A man dropped his plane
At the IRS.

Genuine Apology

Promises on bended knees
Sweet loving words to hear
Do not bring marriage bliss
Nor make the bond more dear.

Diamonds on some rings
Dinners by candlelight
Red roses, wine, and things
Do not make infidelity right.

Diversions from the Mrs
By a husband gone astray
Will soon blow up her fuses
Apologies wasted away.

Actions must prove sincerity
And commitment with no lies
Forgiveness demanding change
Without it, that's compromise.

Just One Wish

I have but one wish and it is this:
That a ship of dreams will one day take me
To where you are and there to kiss
Each other in love, so affectionately.

To finally gaze in your loving eyes
To hold you in a sweet tender embrace
And to feel my heartbeat suddenly rise
As I see the love shown there in your face.

I have this one wish and I hope it's granted
That together we will be and remain that way,
There's nothing in this world I have ever wanted
Than to be with you Dearest, for all my days!

My Valentine Is Blue

The day of Hearts approaching
And you, I will be missing

That Valentine card is still here
Catching my every tear.

For another love had taken
And left me lonely and forsaken

Words on cards are never true
My Valentine isn't red... but blue.

If only words can deliver
This card's beloved Sender

What a great day Valentine!
Same as last year -

when you were mine.

Words Become Lifestyles

Words make the man
And reflect what his heart contains

Thoughts become words
And when spoken they remain

Words that are repeated
Become habits in the end

Habits formed become lifestyles
That later may be hard to amend.

Communication

Communication is touching
Another with sincerity
Not just with verbal teaching
Conversing absently.
It is the human spirit
That reaches forth with care
Words so laden with it
In love and knowledge share.
Crossing space and distance
Communication frees
It is the golden chance
For friendship and for peace.

The Color of Absence

A prism
Of diverse colors
Intertwined
In mixed emotions
Released
In light, a burst of magic
In darkness
Shades become lethargic
Absence
Opens white and blue
Magenta, red, and green
Blended
Feelings left unseen
In sadness lost
Dissolved in hues.

Remnants

Agonizing memories
Afflict the crushed, saddened soul
Fleeting thoughts of intimacies,
Shades of love no longer whole.

Those sweet fragances and scents -
With soft music, their own song,
Witness now that love is absent,
Tell her where she once belonged.

Letters left are now tear-stained
Photographs like ghosts of past,
Remains of a heart deeply pained
Remnants of a love that was.

Words of Grace

Words that uplift another
Are words God blessed with grace

They leave the hearer feeling better
And show respect for the human race.

Words, not curses, bear eternal fruit
And multiply the goodness in life

These words should then be our pursuit
Not cursing words that will cause strife.

Cheerfulness

Cheerfulness is a virus that contaminates
Surrounding all in wondrous pleasant air
A sweet perfume like roses permeates
A sunny view of life that always brings in flair.

Cheerfulness is life's distinct pizzazz
A dancing mood, a musical joy of feeling
Of all human emotions, it is real jazz!
So fun to feel and so very uplifting.

And the wonderful thing for us to realize
Cheerfulness in one we don't need to spend on
It's always free and comes in many a size
Each day, in as many colors you can try on!

To dream is Freedom sought,

Weighed But Found Lacking

Like a fly nestled on the cow's back
Deceived that it's taller than its real size
Arrogance cannot see what it really lacks
And cannot perceive the plank from its eyes.

Proud to declare superiority
And quick to pronounce sweeping judgements,
Arrogance needs little remedy
In making its rules laid in sentiments.

With sight shaded by a controlling Self
All others dim from importance.
Like a book occupying a whole shelf -
All written work pale in its Dominance.

But 'the humble will be exalted,
And as 'pride goes before destruction'
The lowly writers may soon be read -
While the arrogant led to oblivion.

'God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.' (Prov.3: 34)

Christian (Free form)

Words reflect the man,
For out of the mouth
The heart speaks.

And as a man thinks
In his hollow heart
So the truth of who he is.

Faith declared through discord
Nullifies the truth

Testifies to every word
Speech revealed by fruit.

A child of God is peacemaker
He shuns the arguments

He is a Salt and Light bearer
Gentle in sentiments.

The badge of Christ he's wearing
A disciple and follower

For in Christ, he is truly nothing
Even if he's the world's best writer!


'Pleasant words are a honeycomb,
Sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.'

Proverbs 16: 24

A Love Letter

Hello, I hope that you are well
Since we said our last goodbye
I miss you so much, you can tell
I have not forgotten, though I try.

Things have not changed, that is true
And though you have moved on today
My love remains, nothing I can do
It always shows, no matter what I say.

So you have someone else - it's alright.
Letting you go is really for the best.
To hold on to you- yes, I have no right
To leave you is to give myself due rest.

So Dearest, take care and be happy
I have memories when you were mine,
I just wrote this short note to sincerely
Wish you the best...Happy Valentine!

What A Friend Is

What is a friend?

One who stands with you
Through all the good and bad
Support you all the way through
Be there when you are sad.

One who can forgive
With whom you don't pretend
Though you have no wealth to give
He is always a true friend.

But when mistakes you make
He's ready with correction
He may hurt but not forsake
And will show the right direction

A friend has 'agape' love
You can always be who you are
He is a gift from God above
His loyalty goes very far.


'Wounds from a friend can be trusted,
but an enemy multiplies kisses.'

His Treasured Possessions

Even in darkness
Light dawns for the upright
Though there be sadness
Hope is not far from sight.

The rivers may rage;
The waters may swallow,
'Be of good courage'
His Word told you so.

In your emptiness
Hear well and be still -
Trust in His Kindness
Believe in His good Will.

For the God Who called you
He can never lie,
We're His Treasured Possessions
And that is YOU and I.

A Writer's Prayer

In my nothingness, be glorified
For everything I have all come from You,

Remove the dross and foolish pride
With grace, bless everything I do.

Guide my writing with Your Light
Your Words of Truth inspire me,

May all that comes from pen be right
That all men come to see.

Bless the words with Your great Power
A wondrous working from above,

For You, oh God, made me a writer
Declare the hope of Your Mercy and Love!


'The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life,
turning a man from the snares of death.'

Proverbs 14: 27

'I have come that they may have Life, and have it to the full.'

Ink Bottle of Life

The pain and sorrows in life's hurdle
Are all contained in bottled record.
For our Experience is the ink bottle
Where the dipped pen draws many words.

The souce of writers' inspirations
From it the passion ink flows through
To weave the lines and compositions
Of life and loves that we once knew.

'He who pursues righteousness and love, finds life, prosperity, and honor.'

Proverbs 21: 21
