by Jones Very I’m really enjoying reading through Very’s catalogue of poetry. I looked to find a man who walked with God,Like the translated patriarch of old;–Though gladdened millions on His footstool trod,Yet none with him did such sweet converse hold;I heard the wind in low complaint go byThat none his melodies like him could…

It was perfectly acceptable in the pastTo love a friend as passionat’ly as a lover.Think Gilgamesh and poor Enkidu for whom hewept for seven nights.We should adore each otherIf we’re going to get this right.So Sappho, fair, of LesbosWith her turtle-shell lyre and verse.Wrote passionately for women,But not sexually, of course.This is why so many…

Those hero journeys you all read?All are about me.Star Wars, and the Iliad?Every one ‘bout me,But also ‘bout the Sun, soA motif you might see,Is a ray of light behind the guise ofGood ‘Ol Hercules.For Hercules is you.And Hercules is me.And Hercules is Horus.And Krishna too, you see. “I hope that’s not confusing.” – The…

I’m sorry and I love you.I’ll do better for sure.Thank you for my blessings.For a heart that’s big and pure.Thank you for the lessonsI’m learning as we speak.For that I’m always growingAnd that I’m not as weakAs I imagined myself.But I still need to grow.Thank you, Lord, for showingMe that I always glow.

I just need to write right now becauseI’m going through some pain.I am just being honest with you.I hate to complain.The thing is God has got me andThat’s all that really matters.Nothing here can go that wrong.I just ignore the chatter.The Satan and the Hell they claim,I know they just aren’t real.Because I know what…

I’m under the impression things are happening to meInstead of me happening to them.I know that really truly I’m observing everything.And I didn’t choose to do this on a whim.Everything I do has already been planned out.I know it’s hard to realize, but it’s true.And I just have to submit to the plan I know…

I never intend to post there. I just cut/paste here for you guys to enjoy. This is too long anyway. I ain’t paying to tweet poetry no one will read. How many millions of years have I done this, Lord?Just give me some kind of clue.I know that I’ve done it—I’ve been here before.I feel…

by Jones Verse. I’ve been studying this guy’s poetry lately and this sonnet here put anything I’ve ever written to shame. I’m not coming down too hard on myself. I am a dang good poet. I am better than 99% of the world population. I have a lot to be proud of, but it’s also…

I’d love to see a hare in March.The last one,Just a Ram.I’d like to live by Leo’s rules.That’s “Judah” to you, Ma’am.I like to look all of this up,If I can tie it to the stars.War is never what it seems.And has nothing to do with Mars.

I learned a crucial lessonGod needed me to learn:When you stop complaining,The Universe can discernWhat you want to focus on,And then it gives you more.Fortune favors fortitude—The mental kind, for sure.

You think you love the worldBut really you love God.You think that it’s a lonely road,But alone, you never trod.For God is always with you,Issuing directions from the heart.I know that’s not enlightenment.But I think it’s a start.

I’m really good at giving other people the controller growing up the eldest of 4 kids. I was very selfless with my video game usage but remember at one time we had Ninendo 64 and 4 controllers. Mario Kart and Golden Eye tournaments were epic entertainment. I was very good at video games you had…

I cannot make it through the day.I simply must jot downThe thoughts that wander through my head.And wander there-around.They do not cause a frown.I make sure joy is found. If you were there in any wayTo help me,Then: my thanks.I may have shown you hate.Before I believed in Fate.
