it's like I'm playing 'doctor' with myself
telling me that "this won't hurt a bit."
I guess that I'm not lying to myself
I don't know if it hurts to quit

no experience--sometimes you really only get one shot
no, not a shot, too messy--this is a chance
but  I hope I've tied a good one
like one try on your first shoe-tie, and then having to dance

it's a tad nippy out the windowsill
the rope is so languid in my hands
it looks just like my neck probably will
but pondering is not what this demands

a nice rope, not too fat, too thin
although, a little itchy, adjust it some
it's funny I still care about itchy
it's funny that I can't go numb

"you cannot do wrong to do right"
(a universal known truth)
which puts all terrorists arguments
in their rightful place.

I exist
Because of you

©  2017 Jim Davis
You are appreciated, and Loved.
You are important, and very Loved.
You are needed, by God and I.
You are Righteous in Christ eyes.
There are no one that can do what you do.
For Christ gave you talents and gifts.
For the purpose that you were created for.
He uses you to bless others through your gifts.

I have not written a poem in awhile
That is out of my ordinary style
Lately I seem to be happy
Just to pray and smile
This is quite fine
I know my Father has an ultimate
Purpose for me
It may seem as if it is changing
Constantly, it is for others to see
His existence through me
To become a fanner bee
To pray for others
In a world filled with sin
Closer to Our Father
I pray, my prayers,
will bring them
A starting point
To open the door for
The healing to begin
Our Father begot His Son
Easter is rememberence
That through our Savior
Christ Jesus resurrection
Our lives have just begun
A blessing Jesus left with us
The Holy Spirit to guide everyday
If we open our hearts and eyes
We will see His light
In amazing ways.
HAPPY GOOD FRIDAY
ENJOY EASTER BLESSINGS EVERYDAY

Tomorrow's winds will arise
Perhaps half a world's length
Away from me standing still
Circling across blue black seas
Presence shown in frothy waves

Falling on near sandy rock shores
Then once ashore blowing hard
Through my body's soul to fill
Bringing thoughts and whispers
Of memories never lost to time

Filling the moment's deep breath
With aromas from exotic realms
Actually bringing your breath
Left behind while still together
Breathing the same space alive

In past times spent with you
In our world of far off travels
Having gone together to
South, East, West, and North
And most points in between

Knowing after you are gone
No matter from whichever
Direction the winds to blow
I'll still breathe your life's breath
In the blowing warm winds

Or you can do the same as I
If I am first to early leave
Thus, though no longer able
To lay face to face in dreams
You will still take my breath away

beauty kept swimming tense in ****** pond
an ugly duckling on her tail growing fond
