Blooms now the lavender flowers, Bathed by amethyst showers, Under blanket of mauve cloud, Sways the lilac proud, Aside the regal violet throng, Where the periwinkle sings it's song, Bows low the branch of plum, O'er the drooping iris glum, Now dance the orchid in the sky, Where the wistful will fly, Feast upon dainty dewberry, Kissing the bed of the fairy, In the sunset nightshade, W » Continue Reading
How can it be? That the blood spilt at Calvary Can still reach me? Yet with my own eyes I see Here I stand after two thousand years Amidst my tempest of tears And yet the blood flows to me still From that dark deathly hill To cleanse my heart of sin's dread stain To free me from Satan's reign Unfathomable it seems Yet His love teems And so the blood at Calvary Flows here a » Continue Reading
I look up to the stars and I see, The ages past, the history, The same stars above me, Shined on Eve as she, Held her Adam's hand, As they stood upon newborn sand, The stars of promise for Abraham, The blessed star of Bethlehem, The midnight stars above Gethsemane, Illuminating Jesus as prayed he, Stars above me now in this late year, I think of all those the light touched before, Stars ... » Continue Reading
There is man who walks the sands, Looking for weary travellers like you and me, He'll gently guide us with his nail pierced hands, He'll heal the sick and make the blind see, He is the man named Jesus, He died and rose again, He did it because he loves us, What a blessing to be his friend. » Continue Reading
O'er hill and bramble, Trots the horse in gentle ramble, Sitting tall rides the knight, Shadows paint him in fading light, Rides he to find the cure, In his bold heart he is sure, He is unafraid now, To none will he bow, He must find her in this sparse glen, He must find her and then, Saved his betrothed will be, And of this great burden he will be free, Quests he for the witch who dwell... » Continue Reading
Serene and succulent on verdant stem Resting on an emerald limb Red and fragrant in the sunlight Achenes glitter in the sight Viridian leaves to crown your head From evening dewdrops nightly fed Swaying gently in the breeze Growing on with nature's ease Enticing scents drift on the wind The butterflies are your friend A garland of snow white blooms cradle It will hold you as long as it ... » Continue Reading
*long form warning* I wrote this poem and didn't end up caring for it. Just interested in seeing if any one likes it or not. Probably end up scrapping it if not. I've considered scrapping the murder plot too, I don't really like how it turned out and it's rather generic. "The Wisteria's Lament" 111 years have I stood, Standing solemn guard at the edge of the wood, Having nothing to hold dear, ... » Continue Reading
How solemn the death bell tolls The mournful dirge how it rolls The birds have ceased their springtime song They take flight in hurried throng Tolls the bell once more again Thunderous it echoes o'er the glen Shakes the branch of the aspen tree And the daisies blooming in the lea The cedar trembles at the sound Not a living creature to be found All have fled the bell's harsh voice All bu... » Continue Reading
I sit down on the cliff overlooking the sea I watch the gull fly high and free The wave that crashes down below The foam that ripples to and fro The salty scent upon the wind That through time will abscind The very rock where now I sit Bleary eyed I think of it Time's heavy hand how it falls The grave how it calls So little time now at last Mournful I remember the past How wasted youth h... » Continue Reading
Little spider outside my window pane Your web glistens from the rain Interweaved with the roses red Do the scents surround your head? You are still, do you sleep? Or do your silent watch you keep? And if you sleep do you dream? Are these things what they seem? Little spider what do you see? Do you think about destiny? Do you dream about being free? In some nightmare do you flee? Do you... » Continue Reading
