My New Poetry Book is Out Now!

Hello everyone! I just wanted to let you know that I just published a book of poetry. A lot of it contains Christian poems. I have written poetry since I was 8 years old, and now I am in my 30’s. This book was long-awaited and a labor of love. I hope you check it out. It’s on Kindle Unlimited too.

Crushed Leaves

The heights of existence

Leave no room for resistance

I hear you say

But I don’t agree

Personal hearts wrapped in love

Are packages without delay

But packages in the mailroom of my heart

I lost the key and it’s my fault

I thought I desired approval

With your stamp of love

And signature

But I see the removal

Is it my fault or the fault of you?

I cannot choose

Please come over

Or have dinner with me

I miss your affirming eyes

But your yes changes like a October

I just want love

Is that enough?

I guess it starts with me

I see falling leaves in your eyes

Not with a celebratory feel

But crushed leaves in the mire of a past story

I guess it starts with me

I must move on fully

Like a full fleshed out moon

When I find my key

I won’t give up

I’ll make room

People Highly Esteemed

When your dreams turn to rust

And there’s no one to trust

You feel like you put in the corner

On an alien planet as a foreigner

It’s so vital to love and forgive

Yes, we come from Adam’s sinful ribs

But we should live as the redeemed

People highly esteemed

Solace and Forestry

Anyone else afraid?

Am I just going out a limb?

Is that why animals hide in trees?

To make the night end faster?

When the sun goes dim

The gloomy meets with the distraught

Because misery loves company

If there is some intruding danger

I want the twigs and leaves to enclose me

Solace is found in forestry

Love is What You Make it to Be

Love envelopes like a soft embrace

Did you already forget?

Because there’s too much at sake?

There’s charm in the air

Beauty like a rich sunset

Love is what you make it to be

Soul’s Ache

Withstand

Every demand

With your head

In your hand

Feeling scared

Underprepared

If you trust God

Know He cares

Delegations

Uncomfortable situations

Be bold

Keep your ambitions

Jesus to the cross

Shows whose boss

It’s destiny

Not a coin toss

This world is ugly

Deepest black sea

A current

Of hypocrisy

Jesus says

To pray

For everyone

Esp. for your enemy

Trust your faith

The soul’s ache

The map of longing

To never forsake

Time Haiku

Time stands still once more

Muster courage again

Don’t let active clocks war

God is Faithful

God is faithful

We should be grateful

The grass may fade

And bodies turn to dust

But believing is a must

When will the end be?

How faraway is eternity?

All I know the earth is decaying

In time the trumpets to be playing

Do you believe God is faithful to the end?

And that every knee will bend?

These trouble seem to go on for miles

But will see His goodness in these trials

My story is relatable and unique

But in Him I am strong when I feel weak

God is faithful to me

Just look at the cross at Calvary

It Starts with Changed Hearts

Feeling alone

Like a gnome

Left in the snow

Everyone says

Everything will be okay

But why I do feel

Like a deserted ashtray?

I know I cause others grief

When my worries aren’t brief

And they can get no relief

I know I am overly sensitive

But isn’t all relative?

The way I view life

Is my unique perspective

I see things into the spirit realm

Beauty that overwhelms

But also evil entities that condemn

How will we stop them?

Their words seem so self-assured

All the assaults believers have endured

I want to rise above and to be reassured

In a world where lines are blurred

Didn’t people see this coming?

We thought we knew who were becoming

But are glass houses are crumbling

But you on a slippery slope

If you think you have all the answers

You’ll be at the end of your rope

I want treasures of heaven to come to earth

And create an entirely new birth

But first, our iniquities must come forth

I am no expectation

To see I need more and more grace

It is no exaggeration

The love of God knows no bounds

It’s like mighty angel wings that surround

And believers moving to a new sound

I am excited about this possibility

Of love gaining new ground in Thee

But you know what?

It starts with changed hearts of you and me

Save the Best for Last

It’s not about perfection but about faith

God is saving the best for last

In the wedding feast

We will be drinking His wine

Made from the finest of grapes

When we sit down

And look at His crown

We will truly understand these new times

Fear is a absence of trust

It’s like walking on broken glass

He wants to restore

Our hearts of splinters

That have been gathering dust

When we look into His dynamic eyes

We will truly understand why we are alive

A new dawn is upon us from our previous winters
