Lovesong Poetry

[Lovesong]

Thank you very much.

I miss writing, i need to do it more often.

You should! I enjoy reading these,
thankyou.

 

[Lovesong]

I close the door to the harshness of the world
its wood strains and struggles against the night
yet, in spite of its moaning, it keeps outside
all the decay and refuse of life

I light a fire in the ancient, knowing hearth
to drive away the ghosts that chill the air,
phantoms of memory and things left unsaid...
specters of worry and care

Night-blooming jasmine is lulling me to rest
even as I sip on cold, dark tea
and break from the bread a light, crusty taste
to silence my hunger's deep plea

my hands are like sandpaper as I wipe away a yawn
and watch my tea glass sweating drops upon the floor
I sink into my arm-chair like a drowning man at sea
and try to forget all I left it for

the noises come and comfort me and carry me away
from the crackle of the fire to the creaking of my bones
to the weeping willow lashing the house
and the front door and its groan

they tell me that my freedom is found
no further than my chair, no more distant than my pipe
there within my wrinkled features
just behind my dimming eyes

I close them now and set my mind adrift to foreign fields
and know they hold no magic, no dreaming unfulfilled
for mystery rests in leather books and shadowplay on walls
and pleasure from my small piano echoing in the halls

I like this one, do you write books? I want to know about the piano, it seems like
the guy is old and alone but is either remembering a memory of someone like a relative playing
nearby, like he wants it to be there but its only a memory, I know I'm probably way off base,
but I like the mystery to your poems

thankyou for sharing again. Yes you do need to keep writing!

 

[Lovesong]

Fairly circular and simple, but every so often I spout out a poem. Here's a recent, rough copy of one of mine. "The Midnight Express"

Sour notes are struck
at the strike of midnight's eve;
resonating echoes fade
'til morrow's symphony.

(Battering an urgent
contemplation's need to breath)
Sour notes are struck
at the strike of midnight's eve.

Reason begs to question
personal hypocracy,
Fight or flight is flagged
for foul play's defensive teeth, as
down the hall, an infant's cry
annunciates the heat,

as sour notes are struck
at the strike of midnight's eve

so very awesome thankyou for sharing.

 

[Lovesong]

Thank you. I see all of the great poetry already posted here; I'm a novice at best, but I just like writing to get my thoughts out!

I know how that goes, I like how the poem sounds like an introduction to
something like an beginning of a story. Then there is the symbolic sound
that sort of freezes the moment that will escalade into something bigger
but for now the sound slows time in that way.
I don't know why I could picture a hospital nearby the train, and two people arguing in it.
The train sound makes time freeze in that one moment.

I'm probably wrong but thankyou for sharing.

Carman has always been one of my favorite poets and song writers,
I grew up listening to him. This song written by Carmen just reminded
me of a friend. These songs are always encouraging.
So I thought I'd put it down here.

"The Destination Is There"
Written by: Carman

"You've felt in your spirit
God's shown you something new
Something that has strengthened you
And only you can do
But as your desire grew
You got a little depressed
'Cause you found no destination
For your dreams to manifest

Chorus:
Your desire is the confirmation the destination is there
God wouldn't put it in your spirit if it wasn't going nowhere
So set your sights on the promises and don't you be scared
For your desire is the confirmation the destination is there

His vision's for a certain hour
I know it won't be late
His promises will strengthen you
If only you will wait

Don't follow someone else's dreams
Keep your own in sight
For the vision that God gives
Will keep you all your life"

Chorus

Very nice! Uplifting and something to meditate on when one is doing time in the gutter, so to speak.

The following came to me when I was reminiscing over my job. -_- (But I am grateful just to have one.)

Rush - The Big Money (Lyrics by Neal Peart)

Big money goes around the world
Big money underground
Big money got a mighty voice
Big money make no sound
Big money pull a million strings
Big money hold the prize
Big money weave a mighty web
Big money draw the flies

Sometimes pushing people around
Sometimes pulling out the rug
Sometimes pushing all the buttons
Sometimes pulling out the plug
It's the power and the glory
It's a war in paradise
It's a Cinderella story
On a tumble of the dice

Big money goes around the world
Big money take a cruise
Big money leave a mighty wake
Big money leave a bruise
Big money make a million dreams
Big money spin big deals
Big money make a mighty head
Big money spin big wheels

Sometimes building ivory towers
Sometimes knocking castles down
Sometimes building you a stairway
Lock you underground
It's that old-time religion
It's the kingdom they would rule
It's the fool on television
Getting paid to play the fool

Big money goes around the world
Big money give and take
Big money done a power of good
Big money make mistakes
Big money got a heavy hand
Big money take control
Big money got a mean streak
Big money got no soul...

Yeah Carman is awesome that way. Well also I thought it was just a reminder to those with vision
or a word God has gave them, if he gave it to them he'll bring it through.

Well I believe just as long as you remember that God supplies all our needs according
to his riches and glory you won't ever have a need. In these times we start to depend on God more
for all types of riches. God will take care of ya.

This is an oldie but a goodie, I remember this song when I was 5 years old. This song is true
and very annointed. I never really appreciated this stuff as a kid but I respect it more now
that I really need it now to be honest lol. The blood of Jesus is what keeps me from being destroyed
and consumed by darkness. I recieve the blood of Jesus.

"O The Blood of Jesus"
Written by: Donnie Harper (I think he originally wrote this song, although I've heard
it so many times by different singers I think this is the right song writer)

O The Blood Of Jesus with Lyrics - YouTube

O the blood of Jesus
O the blood of Jesus
O the blood of Jesus - It washes white as snow

----

(Other version I heard from this song)

There is healing in the blood of Jesus
Healing in the blood of Jesus
Healing in the blood of Jesus
It washes white as snow

Theres deliverance in the blood of Jesus
Deliverance in the blood of Jesus
Deliverance in the blood of Jesus
it washes white as snow

 

[Lovesong]

Belief - by Lowanla (me)

To recieve is to believe

crumble the walls named 'old doubt'

that stand in the way to victory

to believe is to consume the word

to recieve in your spirit

Belief is the key in

consuming recieving, eating

drinking.

Believe in the blood of Christ

"I recieve the blood of Christ"

in my heart in me over me around me.

I stand by faith

and the outcome is Gods grace.

 

[Lovesong]

The point of this poem is and I know there is no structure to it, its more thoughts again...*shrugs* oh well. The point of it is that I believe that people who are married should always give each other life
and be on the same belief point. Even if you are not married or just together like you are...*growlz* DX...grahh. (Frustrations O_____________________O)

anyway this is just a huffy "how I feel" poem. I believe if people never say these things
then they will continue to be miserable. If the two people will not work out that situation
then it probably was not meant to be. I really hate writing it this way because its embarrassing
and it embarrasses the other person...but in my stand...i have no choice...
...I think I've played martyr long enough though...this makes me want to start out my life regardless if they like it or not.

Maybe its not that way though...who knows, saying things and working them out is better, then
not saying them and trying to cover the hurt with 'good feelings'
just makes things worse...cause the problem
then is not solved...

so my appologies if this sounds offensive in anyway..

The Hidden Wife - By Lowanla (me)

"The truth of Love
If love gives light,
If love gives life,
and love is truth,
and everything that
is good.

then Love does not threaten with fear
for love is not fear.
Love does not manipulate for
that is control.
Everything done out of love is
done freely.

So I pray Lord for this type of
relationship for me.
The kind of love I need is
someone who will give me life
and not take it from me.
Because I give them life and they
take it from me and leave me empty.

then they compare the past
with what they have
do they not realize that this hurts me?
Yet they return for more
and the sight of me discusts them.
wrap their arms around
and try to chain me down to them.
they want my light
Still returning for more.
they'll keep doing that
Till I become no more.

they say its love but
then why am I not happy.
love brings life
I want a love that makes me
a real live wife.

not something hidden
away in discust and shame.
Lord God forgive me for my fears
thankyou for all the strength
throughout the years.
Give me the strength to stand
I don't really undestand your plan.

This is how I feel
I want something real
God only understands.
What I have been saving myself
for all of these years.

'to one day say - as for me and my house
we will serve the Lord'.

yet with more heartbreaking tears.
I continue to trudge on
knowing that
Jesus

keeps giving me love and life
so that I may walk forward with
dignity
as the hidden wife.

of one who is ashamed of me."

 

[Lovesong]

I wrote this song for myself, sometimes you just gotta encourage yourself when no one else understands but God.

To Shine - by Lowanla (me)

I wonder how it feels to hold a hand
walking through the rain
to know that I am safe
he'll tell me its gonna be okay

Lord tell me how it feels again
to shine brightly with love.
When I see all the lovers walk
together and I am all alone.
then you smile and say.

Beloved love wasn't meant to be hidden

but love was meant to shine

I know your heart is broken I see that tear in your eye

Even if you walk alone I'll walk with you

through the pain

For love wasn't meant to be hidden

it was meant to shine.

--
and how could I miss someone I have never met
yet love them more than anything
God clear the fog a way from me
let them set me free or be with me
I just want them to be happy
please set my path straight

Oh Lord

let me know you are here with me

Then you smile and say...

--
Beloved love wasn't meant to be hidden


but love was meant to shine


I know your heart is broken I see that tear in your eye


Even if you walk alone I'll walk with you


through the pain


For love wasn't meant to be hidden


it was meant to shine.

 

[Lovesong]

I wanted to do something more cheerful, of course I thought of dancing because I get all shamed out when
it comes to dancing. I'm very shy when it comes to that but I think its best way to cheer up or show joy.

Indigenous Rock - by Lowanla (me)

dancing to the beat
that ancestors sang one time
what did they die for?

swirling around upon the grass.
to a new tune of praises.
I stand on this rock.

indigenous dancing to a new song
When everyone else dances to the old

there is a new song
that the indigenous dance to
the answer to the question
is so that their descendants
could live.

Sing, dance and laugh
because we can
Dance so that nothing was in vain
I'll dance to that new beat.
the dance of a new song.

Midnight Cry
- Written by: brothers Chuck and Greg Day

Midnight Cry (From Left Behind) - YouTube

I hear the sound of a mighty rushing wind
and its closer now than its ever been..

I can almost hear the trumpet
as Gabriel sounds the call
at the midnight cry
When Jesus comes again.

When Jesus steps out
on a cloud to call his children
the dead in Christ shall rise
to meet him in the air

and then those that remain
will be quickly changed
in the midnight cry
when Jesus comes again.

As I look around
I see prophecies fullfilling
the signs of the times
you know they are appearing
everywhere

I can almost hear the father
as he says 'Son Go get your children!"

at the midnight cry
when Jesus comes again
When Jesus steps out
on a cloud to call his children
the dead in christ shall rise
to meet him in the air

and then those that remain
will be quickly changed
at the midnight cry
when Jesus comes again
at the midnight cry
when Jesus comes again
​

 

[Lovesong]

I like this song because I believe this is the year of freedom and Jubilee, Thanks to Jesus Christ for what he has done for his sacrifice so that the one I love can be free and know Jesus for himself.

Days of Elijah

Written by Robin Mark


Hillsong - Days of Elijah (lyrics) - YouTube

These are the days of Elijah,
Declaring the Word of the Lord
And these are the days of Your servant, Moses,
Righteousness being restored
And though these are the days of great trial,
Of famine and darkness and sword
Still we are the voice in the desert, crying,
"Prepare ye the way of the Lord!"

Behold, He comes riding on the clouds
Shining like the sun, at the trumpet call
Lift your voice, in the year of jubilee
For out of Zion's hill salvation
comes

These are the days of Ezekiel,The dry bones becoming as fleshAnd these are the days of Your servant, David,
Rebuilding a temple of praiseThese are the days of the harvest,The fields are as white in the worldAnd we are the labourers in Your vineyard,Declaring the Word of the Lord.

Who was
and who is
and who is to come​

 

[Lovesong]

nd I am convinced and sure of this very thing, that He Who began a good work in you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ [right up to the time of His return], developing [that good work] and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in you." - Phil 1:6

Some kind of love letter - by Lowanla (me)

you kind of remind me of Gideon

in the bible story of old

so hear my cries in the night prayers for you

that you may follow Jesus too

That you are watched over by the angels

that they would sing over you

That you would

Hold fast to Jesus with all your heart

and remember the vision that he gave you of hope

follow him and trust him and have faith

when you are convicted do not be discouraged

for God chastens those he loves and saves

I know sometimes I don't say everything

perfectly forgive me for saying things that hurt you,

I want you to know that

I love you and I believe in you

and I know you love me too

but most of all Jesus loves you more

and is waiting for your prayers

let him show you he is real to you

let him guide you he will not let you down

I'm always gonna see His vision

for a future and a hope for you.

because your life is important to me

would you believe my obedience to God and trusting him with you

is the best thing I know I could do for you.

Either way regardless I know God loves you and knows

who you are.

Doesn't matter how near or how far you are.

God is going to show you his great mercy and love and that no one is too far.

for his hand out stretches through the universe

you are not too far

Remember that even when you go through the fire which is persecutions,

that Christ is with you he will not let you be consumed

for you will over come these things through Christ

He is the one who will show you the way to what you want

He remembers you called on him once and you sought him with your heart

He has not forgotten you

he has kept you and will keep you

so that you will believe and know that he is real most of all that he loves and believes in you.

- I love and believe in you too

-------------------------------------

(this wasn't really a poem although some parts sound like it its more or less a love letter) ​

 

[Lovesong]

1 Thessalonians 4:16-18

"For the Lord himself will descend

from heaven with a cry of command,

with the voice of an archangel,

and with the sound of the trumpet of God.

And the dead in Christ will rise first.

Then we who are alive, who are left,

will be caught up together with them

in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air,

and so we will always be with the Lord.

Therefore encourage one another with these words."

[Lovesong]

To my guy,

you are not alone

remember you confessed Jesus to the world?

I seen that and I am so happy for you. You can't imagine the angels singing

and celebrating that day. I know you have him in your heart.

I was where you were at one time, albeit I might not be in your same position,

but I understand the fear

now is the time to trust God. He lead you to his light, to him by his spirit.

He loves you. He created you. He knows who you are.

I know your afraid but the word says that

Jesus Christ overcame the world. So know that no matter what

the devil may tell you its all lies.

Jesus Christ Spoiled Principalities and made a show of them openly.

That means Jesus Christ has over come the world. Satan no longer has any rights anymore.

Jesus took his rights away from him.

Jesus Christ took the key's of death hell and the grave away from satan.

Jesus Christ has the power to give life and eternal life too, to who ever calls on him.

Just like the thief on the cross. That is Gods mercy.

Its his blood that covers your soul, your body, your spirit.

Its the blood that will make you new. Its the blood that washes away all sin.

Taste and see that the Lord is good.

Walking on the water also means to say "I am a Christian.." to the world. Then making

that choice to walk as a Christian.

in a world full of unbelievers and scoffers.

Walking on the water means to trust Jesus Christ.

That he will indeed save you when you call upon him.

don't be afraid...but if you are,

Remember that the word also says " For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7

You can control your thoughts, crush the bad thoughts and say I'm not gonna think that thought

refuse to think them, then think a bout that scripture instead, This scripture stays with your spriit.

Trust in Jesus and don't let go, I know you are in your heart. I just know it.
just hold on to him.

- I love you

 

[Lovesong]

I absolutely love this song, can't help but smile with it and sing along to it.

Jesus Saves
written by: Jeremy Camp

"Hope is here,
shout the news to everyone
It's a new day,
peace has come,
Jesus saves

Mercy triumphs at the cross
Love is come to rescue us,
Jesus saves

​

Hope is here what a joyful noise we'll make
As we join with heaven's song
To let all the world know that Jesus saves

Raise a shout to let all the world
know that Jesus saves

Free at last, every debt has been repaid
Broken hearts can be remade,
Jesus saves
Sing above the storms of life,
sing through the darkest night
Jesus saves

Free at last,
what a joyful noise we'll make
As we join with heaven's song
To let all the world know that Jesus saves
Raise a shout to let all the world know that
Jesus saves
We'll sing it out to let all the world know That
Jesus saves
Raise a shout to let all the world know That
Jesus saves

You save,
you heal,
restore,
reveal
Your Father's heart to us
You rose to raise us from the grave
Your spirit lives in us

Sing it out to let all the world know
That Jesus saves
Raise a shout to let all the world know that
Jesus saves

Shout it out to let all the world know
That Jesus saves
Raise a shout to let all the world know that
Jesus saves
Sing it out to let all the world knowThat
Jesus saves
Raise a shout to let all the world know
That Jesus saves

Oh, sing it out and shout
until the whole world knows his name
Sing it out and shout for we will know your name

Jesus"

​

 

[Lovesong]

God gave us a gift of grace, sometimes all it takes is recieving it, forgiving others and sometimes forgiving ourselves.. Thats what this song makes me think. I love how God puts these songs in peoples hearts to share with the world, I believe its because he planned these songs so that people would hear, for such a time as this. This band is awesome btw.

Healing Begins
Music and lyrics by: Tenth Avenue North

Tenth Avenue North "Healing Begins" - YouTube

So you thought you had to keep this up
All the work that you do
So we think that you're good
And you can't believe it's not enough
All the walls you built up
Are just glass on the outside

So let 'em fall down
There's freedom waiting in the sound
When you let your walls fall to the ground
We're here now

This is where the healing begins, oh
This is where the healing starts
When you come to where you're broken within
The light meets the dark
The light meets the dark

Afraid to let your secrets out
Everything that you hide
Can come crashing through the door now
But too scared to face all your fear
So you hide but you find
That the shame won't disappear

So let it fall down
There's freedom waiting in the sound
When you let your walls fall to the ground
We're here now
We're here now, oh

This is where the healing begins, oh
This is where the healing starts
When you come to where you're broken within
The light meets the dark
The light meets the dark

Sparks will fly as grace collides
With the dark inside of us
So please don't fight
This coming light
Let this blood come cover us
His blood can cover us

This is where the healing begins, oh
This is where the healing starts
When you come to where you're broken within
The light meets the dark
The light meets the dark

"Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus", - Hebrews 10:19​

 

[Lovesong]

Bread Crumbs
- by Lowanla (me)​

This path is lit by a trail of lights​

and only the spirit/heart knows what they mean​

pages ripped a part from the bible sent aflight​

in the dark forest hidden behind a window screen​

on the lit but narrow path there the scriptures lay​

its may not be easy but the scriptures do pave the way​

follow the trail of pages you'll also see drips of blood​

lead by the Spirit of God who sends peace like a flood​

walking down the path with fear you see a cross named doom​

you become afraid because you know it was meant for you​

noticing that blood oozes down the cross of shame​

there are markings carved on it, billions of names​

then you see your name the blood covers it entirely​

and nailed upon it is your curse, pain, and infirmity​

they say he was an innocent man sent to hell in your place.​

he ran to the cross in love with you on his mind and finished the race.​

If you will look he is no longer in that tomb​

If you will look he is no longer in hell​

for he has arisen and he is alive coming soon​

that is the hope the hope of Christ - True Love Shown​

endure as a believer and great will be your reward.​

just follow the bread crumbs and you'll find your way home.​
