Burning Words Cut Love Cords
Weighed down
By burning words
They sound
Like angry swords
Slain hearts
Now lie in discord
Depart...
And cut Love cords.

A Man Reaps What He Sows
Careless intent reaps much discord
And many a time, it harvests offense
A bitter root grows from our words
As the wounds it cuts are truly immense.
And God will not be mocked
A man shall reap all that he sows
Man's words be weighed the Good it lacked
For God does hear and knows.

Speech Reflects The Home
Speech reflects the Home
And a man will show his worth
What kind of family he came from
As his words of mouth come forth.
Speech reflects the Heart
And God sees what is within
If from Wrong it will depart
Or if it dwells with Verbal Sin.

Curses and Malice
Curses and malice go together
Like marital partners they sashay
And like dirty words they are forever
Recorded in Heaven everyday.
And those that release them are in bondage
In shackles and chains of obscene language
Pulling them lower down eternal fire
Sealing their fate in hell so dire.

Those Who Copy Murder Poetry
Unkind are those
Who disrespect
Their fellow writers' work,
They presuppose
We can't expect
That duplication lurks.
So with temerity
Their works will show
That titles are just 'copy'
They mock the art,
And refuse to grow
...Then murder Poetry.

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.

Empty Cans
The foolish man speaks
With the loudest voice
Like little empty cans
That make the most noise.
Those who are hollow,
No wisdom to be found
But full vessels we know
Can silence their own sound.
The more the words
The less, the meaning-
For silence accords
A deeper understanding.
'Silent waters run deep.'
'A fool multiplies words.'
'When words are many, sin is not absent.'

When Danes Slaughter Dolphins
Whatever could have been their sin?
These creatures slain, these dolphins?
Massacred and killed for a despicable sign
Of manhood, adulthood, what insane design!
Their blood flows down the oceans, shed
Danish humanity is thus proven dead
What culture so vile, what abhorrent insanity
Towards creatures defenseless facing such cruelty?
No rational beings and no literate nation
Will allow this sadism and abomination
But it happens with the Danes, and it is irrational
A practice that man is the most cruel of animals!

Forgetting
Now comes the last goodbyes
The longing is no longer there
The sighing ceased and dry the eyes
Hearts now are free from love and care.
Words have emptied of their sweetness
Gazes are far and never meet
Blank looks that all speak of sadness
The promised future we now forfeit.
The stage is set for the forgetting
All things must end with time someday
Release the past with all forgiving
We tried to love but it's gone away.

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.

Take Two
Angry goodbyes can break our hearts
Quick words released, they can resound
And open doors where Love departs
Then fleeting Joy cannot be found.
But like the dove that flies back home
One word of 'Sorry' can bring healing
Like a second read of a much-loved poem
That word returns the loving feeling.

For Curse Speakers/Writers
Your words deflect
Return to you
And shower devastation
You can expect
That these will do
Set forth all pronunciation
It will accomplish
All that grime
All wrong you ever wish
You speak your fate
In verbal slime
And fill your heart with hate.
Your words bear fruit
All that you say
In time they will grow root
You follow suit
With darkened days
And live in cursed loot
You dwell In profanity
And nullify the good
Cancelling prosperity
With evil as your food.

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.

Anger Like Fire
Anger like fire
Bursts forth
In leaps of flames
Words rage in ire
Abort
In one painful frame
And once released
Break hearts
With wounds that bleed
The ties are eased
To part
From Love and need.

Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth (BIBLE)
Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth
Seeds grow naturally when watered,
So also does sin and the thoughts of it.
The Word of God cannot be altered
By reading it one gains eternal profit.
When on a journey, one needs sight
Or else there's the danger to stumble
One cannot see without adequate light
And to go the Right Way, he's not able.
Thus in Life one needs God's Word
It's the Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth
All Wisdom, Peace, and Comfort it accords
Makes one so rich his light shines forth.
And know that God will not be mocked
A man shall reap all that he sows
Man's words are weighed for what it lacked
For God does hear and knows.

Take a Moment
Take a moment
To look into my eyes
Just before you leave
And say your last goodbye.
Take a moment
To hold me one last time
To feel the love we had
The time when you were mine.
Take a moment
To hear the beat of this heart
And know its pain in pleading
That you will not depart.
For this is time suspended
Engraved in eternity
When our Love had ended
And you are gone from me.

Strange That We Should Feel This Way
Strange that we should feel this way
And yet it goes on
Like flowing streams
In endless days
And haunting
Like a love song.
Strange that you and I both tied
To other loves now here
Like caged birds
We then sing inside
When all the while
We smile in tears.
Strange that we should feel
This love in distant shores
Knowing that our hearts still
Belong to them we loved
Before.

Fly Swiftly Away
Fly swiftly away
From Love's tender snare
For the net there will lay
Deep affections and care
Seducing your emotions
Blinding sound Reason
Swaying your Decisions
With enchanting Persuasion.
Fly swiftly away
Spare yourself pain
When the sweetness shall mellow
And Departure comes again
Fickle promises break
As the Love grows out cold
'Goodbyes' you have to take
A sad heart you will hold.

Goodbyes Here in My Eyes
Now you gaze and see
Goodbyes here in my eyes
In tears this Sadness flees
When Love departs and dies
Ribboned hearts are now released
From ties and graying promises
For other loves have come and pleased
To cut through bonds with bleak excuses.
And now I shall then set you free
My eyes no longer hold its hopes
My heart lets go, unties Reality
At last untied, where vague Love gropes.

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.'
