On The Inside

All too often we make judgements based on appearances only.
We may be surprised though, that despite appearances, when we come to know what's on the inside
what we find can be appealing and quite special.

What do they see
when they look at me?

Perhaps they zero in on my outward appearance.

What do they see
when they look at me?

Perhaps they zero in on my outward appearance.
I've not the greatest complexion,
My skin is rough, leathery, and wrinkled.

Or perhaps their eyes focus
on my skin color,
as it appears rather peaked,
having a green hue.

And, should my skin pigment change,
from a sickly green to a pale yellow,
would they keep their distance from me?
Would I become an object of abhorrence?

Would they weigh me in the balance
over an absence of luxurious hair?
Isn't baldness beautiful?
What would their opinion of me be regarding that?

And what of my bodily figure?
How do they feel about me being plump,
fat, round as ball?
Really, I must say in my defense that
my corpulence certainly enhances
the splendidness of my qualities.
But would they agree?

"He probably smells as bad as he looks too.
Let's see, sniff sniff. Wait, -
he smells surprisingly fragrant;
quite pleasant actually."
Ha, I sure fooled them there!

But most importantly,
how would they view me on the inside?
There is only one way for them to find out.
They would have to come to know my inner beauty,
my good qualities.
I really am sweet you know.
And I have so much to offer.
If they could just come to know
what I am like on the inside.
If they would just give me a chance
to open up to them.
They would come to love me.
They would find me beautiful.
They may even insist
that I be a guest in their home.

But will they really try to know me for what I am?

...because sometimes, I get so lonely sitting here
on this Ugli Fruit stand.-

Gordon The Goat

Sometimes it can be difficult to find balance in life. All too often we may find ourselves going from one extreme and then to the opposite end of the spectrum, as is the case with Gordon the goat in this short children's poem.

Gordon the goat did not have a coat,
and the winds blew fierce with the storm.

So to feel better, he donned on a sweater,

Gordon the goat did not have a coat,
and the winds blew fierce with the storm.

So to feel better, he donned on a sweater,
and began to feel toasty and warm.

"Too warm", he thought, "In fact, now I'm too hot!
I think I'll take off this fine sweater I bought.
Cold is cold, yes, it is true,
for I became cold when the fierce winds grew,
but the heat from this sweater is making me blue."

So, to the wind he cast his sweater,
and cooled right down, - "ah... much better",
but then later he started to sneeze... "Achoo!"

"God is near to those that are
broken at heart,
and those who are crushed in
spirit he saves." - Psalm 34:18

"The one freely watering others
will himself also be freely watered" - Proverbs 11:25

Like a dry wilted daisy
that so craves the dew,
is a person crushed in spirit,
in need of encouragement too.

Like a dry wilted daisy
that so craves the dew,
is a person crushed in spirit,
in need of encouragement too.

But when freely watered
by our copious rain,
although beneath adverse heat
their lives are sustained.

Then once these are watered
with life's copious dew,
they can freely water us
with encouragement too.

And where lies the source
of this 'rain' and the 'dew'?
Why, it should flow from the heart
from me, you, and them too.

The Wish

Place me as a seal upon your heart,
As a seal upon your arm,
For love is as strong as death is,
And exclusive devotion is as unyielding as the Grave.
Its flames are a burning fire, the flame of Jah.

-Song of Solomon 8:6

This poem was composed based on that inspired scripture.

in True Love Poems

If I was granted a single wish,
no need for three or two,
I'd wish our love endure forever,
deeply cherished, and always true.

If I was granted a single wish,
no need for three or two,
I'd wish our love endure forever,
deeply cherished, and always true.

But if my wish goes unfulfilled,
if something sudden should befall me,
please know I loved you O so much,
and my cherished love, forever still,-
you’ll always truly be.

But I need not a single wish,
not even three or two,
for I know our love will endure forever,
forever cherished, forever true.

And you know I love you O so much,
that you’re my cherished love forever still,
e’en tho sudden things could soon befall,
love can ensure they never will.

So I'll rejoice in our enduring love,
deeply cherished and always true,
and as my one true love forever still,
forever still I'll rejoice in you.-

The Little Girl And Her Blue Balloon

A poem about our beautiful blue planet, its current critical state and the Bibles assurance that Earths Creator will soon intervene in mankind's affairs and reverse the damage that has been done to it.

See Psalm 37;29, 35, 36, Romans 16:20, Revelation 1:1, 2.

The little girl raised her hand, and wrapped her fingers very tight,
around the long white string dangling vertically, and held fast with all her might.
At the end of the string was "Marble Blue", a beautiful big blue balloon.
It floated up high, and from a worm's eye, sat beside the greyish-white moon.

The little girl raised her hand, and wrapped her fingers very tight,
around the long white string dangling vertically, and held fast with all her might.
At the end of the string was "Marble Blue", a beautiful big blue balloon.
It floated up high, and from a worm's eye, sat beside the greyish-white moon.
The balloon was a present from the girl's loving father.
a precious gift to his beautiful daughter.

But then one day, an ambitious tyrant made it his greedy aim,
to steal away and exploit the balloon for purely selfish gain.
The little girl decided smart, as she thought it would be wise,
to stand up bravely and protect 'Marble Blue' lest it meet a grim demise.

But before she had to implement her valiant noble thought,
Her father rushed in to contend for her just like a father ought.
He seized the tyrant, bound him up and took him far away,
that he may not be able to harm 'Marble Blue' or others as his prey.
With peace now restored, and everyone safe, and the assailant held at bay,
The little girl with her blue balloon could always cheerfully play.

Now, if this is the way an earthly father would do,
in the plight of his daughter and her precious ‘Marble Blue’.
We can be sure our Father in heaven will very soon act too,
in the plight of His earthly children,
and His gift of the Earth to them,
which is being exploited too.

I can relate to this poem and can share it's sentiments. Poe is quite candid in revealing his unique perspectives, and that takes courage. The poem, in it's entirety, is beautifully expressed, it is one of my favorites. The two lines that I particularly appreciate are,
"And all I loved I loved alone". -
I can relate to this line because the things that I find to be quite humorous are viewed by most as being devoid of humor. The other line I can appreciate is,
"And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view--"
To my understanding, in the cloud, he saw the shape of a demon, while any other person probably would have seen the shape of something more on the bright side - to my understanding. Like Poe, some see things from a melancholy perspective, and I proudly relate to that. The only drawback is that it's not very appealing to most. Nonetheless, Poe's poems, although dark, are artfully penned and appeal to many, including me.

I believe this poem is referencing the fleeting duration of the human life span. A leaf in the spring starts out green and tender. Until the frost comes in the fall and gives the leaf a 'kiss' or two, basically ending the leaf's seasonal life. The 2nd stanza repeats this thought with different wording.

The leaves turn 'vivid red' in the fall.
'Quivering' in the wind until the 'windy gust' blows them to the ground where they turn to dust.
Their 'little race' (life) is over.

Psalm 90:9,10.
