Hey everybody,
I love poetry and just wanted a place to share it with others and here other people's poetry... I'll start with one of my poems I wrote that was inspired by the prayer of my senior pastor this fall. It's titled "Seasons Collide":
The rain falls down in gathered puddles
Beneath my feet, washing away stains
Of all my mistakes and breaking pains
And memories of long, soft cuddles
The wind howls at my face as I break
Tears fly behind me in anguish now
Leaving me questions of why and how
But now I've put far too much at stake
I stand in the ocean, in waist deep
As the wave knocks me down, I just drown
In purity that washes me clean
I fall hard and fast in peaceful sleep
The sun beats on my dry, sandy feet
My hands touch the ground in hope for rain
So that I could gain some direction
All these years, I still seek affection
The snowflake flutters onto my nose
Piles of them, above the road they rose
Even past my cold, prostrate body
I wish for time to be frozen, stop
The leaves whirlpool around my stature
All the brown, gold, red, and orange consume
My thoughts, they spin in constant sequence
Past all the concepts of consequence
I love to be captive in His arms
His love, His kindness, it captures me
His nature so raw, it sweeps me up
And puts me face down in reverence
By: Joshua Murphy
Now let me hear yours....

hey I just wrote something just now tell me what you think
In Jesus everything IS Possible
I feel so broken and jaded
so torn from my inner part of my heart
but inside I will heal
I know I've been crushed
I know I've been torn apart
but when my tears flow gently
it makes me feel good on the inside
you got me thinking ways I never knew I could
i just look myself in the mirror
and I think man wow
how can anyone turn this face down
all I ever needed was in jesus
all I ever needed was his love
his embrace, his touch
not even realizing that the devil
can not touch me
because I'm saved by Jesus's love and grace
In Jesus we are better than the devil
In Jesus we can stomp all over the devil
IN jesus we are set free from pain, brokenness, hunger and most of all of our sins

Paradises grace is like unto a rose that falls to the ground craping against the dust.
In an on going parady till the color of the rose water is seen on the dust makeing the dust that had been breathed into beauty.
Thus the Father can use the dust like red ink writing anew story.
Of how the rose that had been broken and lives again.
By bringing breath back into the dust that formed into life these dry bones live again Elijah.
The roses blood is are blood making us children of the "King" and we as children are nolonger scarlet yet blood bought.
Do you like? You had sparked a dream of mine. About people dressed with rose prints on their cloths arrayed as a mighty army.

GOD WILL NEVER FAIL YOU
BY HELEN STEINER RICE
When life seems empty
and there's no place to go
When your heart's troubled
and your spirits are low
When friends seem few
and no body cares
There is always God
to hear your prayers...
And what ever you facing
will seem much less
When you go to God
and confide and confess,
For the burden that seems
too heavy to bear
God lifts away
on the wings of prayer
And seen through God's eyes
earthly troubles will diminish
And we're given new strength
to face and to finish
Life's daily tasks
as they come along
If we pray for strength
to keep us strong...
so go to our father
when troubles assail you,
for his grace is sufficient
and he'll never fail you

The poems world is trapped raw emotion inside ones heart. It burst forth through pen creating words. Wonce read by others. It come alive through their own heart. Thus they feel the emotion from the heart. In an over welming sensation. Through the thought world of the artists geniouse compensations. Of their lifes rhyme.
"Yes Here I am lord."
I grasp at my heart in darkness. Theirs light Yah has saw every side of me. He knows the very artist of my poetic being.

This is really awesome! I'm really enjoying getting the opportunity to read these poems! Thank you everyone for sharing. Here's another poem of mine that I wrote recently. It's called:
"The Chase"
It stands to rest, among the best
That all reason and wisdom gained
Still can never fully attain
A point or mark of perfection at best
But, the chase must go on
So the catch can be strong
Enough to carry forward
A soul beaten and seeking reward
To leave no trace of regret or fear
And bury that passion to a heart that's near

I looked in your eyes. I saw tears streaming down. Falling like rose petals to the ground. Oh this is sorrow. Not knowing one's love. Even if near yet. So far to grasp. Here I took your tears. And placed them in the air. Now tears you are red butterflys floating. To bring graceful happyness.
No longer sorrows to this person I hold dear. Remeber let your heart beat. Against the darkness. Then you will find the person who matters most. laughter comes sorrows are many. Yet your portion is to be with the one God gave you to. Destiny will float to you like crimson beads. On a bloods moon night. Making smiles never fading under the pale star light. While I play a glass violin sweetly. Ever so soft sing for me only you can finish. Your lifes story hum to me the tune. I need to know it in order to remeber about you. I.wish.to.know.you.
What is your lifes story in a tune?

"Of knowing his joke"
Laughter laughter pitter patter. This is the sound of ones own voice after making waves.
It was rainy my friend told me a joke. I fell over my body made waves. When the water splattered. I made my own ocean sway through pure fun. I even danced in the mud. Grabbing my hurting stomach so hard. He made me cry laugh with pain. All less in one day.
These are the joys of child hood friends play even in muddy pants.
