-My Flaw


The root cause of my stuttering lies within my anxiety,

It is my one and only embarrassing insecurity.

-Guardian Angel

Up above and beyond the sky,
Where vast stars and planets reside.

A shiny bright light caught my eye,
And approached me in the night.

''Do not be shy'', assured the light,
''Ive come in the name of Christ.

I was chosen to be your guide,
And protect you throughout your life.''

The Stranger:

''Ah behold,
A fresh new soul,
Far from old,
Joins us within
Sheol.''

''Some pass peacefully,
Others don't, sadly,
How did thine untimely
Demise, come to be?''

The New Soul:

''Sewn around my arteries
Was life,
Keeper of my organs.''

''But my body laboured
No more,
When sorrow guided
My
Feeble hands to severe
My core cords,
Hidden inside  
My
Scarred wrists.''

-A lament by the preteen Queen of Mesopotamia.

Late September,
During summer,
My great kingdom was obliterated by raiders.

My poor people,
Young and feeble,
Were all mercilessly butchered by those strangers.

Every temple,
Made of beryl,
Was then looted and set on fire by their archers!

And as for me,
A preteen Queen,
Slavery is now my role for their vile leaders!

Yeshua, Most High,
Please hear my cry.

A dark cloud  hangs
Above my head,
And rains misfortune
Wherever I tread.

Whatsoever thing I sow
By faith, always withers away,
Even unto this day,
As I write this in pain.

Ah me!
I beseech you, your majesty,
Let me be,
And test me no More!
I cant take another second
On this planet I Abhor.

-Unbreakable Love


Not long too ago within the land of the free,
There was an adult named John and woman named lee.

Now, they were infact an interracial couple,
Illegal love that always got them in trouble.

Day after day they were beaten very badly,  
All because people hated seeing them happy.

Their bruised battered faces were beyond recognition,
As a result of an evil institution.

Although they were surrounded by vile racist beast,
The two comely love birds had each other, at least.

But one day the country issued a new decree:
''Hunt the two and rid them of this world quickly.''

So John and Lee were kidnapped by a gang of three,
Who hung the innocent young couple from a tree.

Together forever in life as well as death,
They held each others hands until their dying breath.

-Less is more

Short and sweet is my favourite style of poetry,
A few words is all I use to craft my artistry.
