Zoe

These hands hang down
and my heart droops within;
these feet are tired - my back sags
shouldering so much,
visible and invisible.
Oh Lord, sustain me,
I pray!
Lend me
strength to
continue,
lest I should
fall and not
be able
to get
up.

His Grace (Senryu)

His grace and mercy
is sufficient for us all
who do come to Him.

WHEN I GO TO SLEEP

WHEN I GO TO SLEEP

When I go to sleep at night
I leave the TV set on
With electric shadows
Flickering around the walls
Not because I fear the dark
Which is a friend of mine
But because silence is a threat
To my drifting vulnerable mind
And the open wounds of old

Silence allows my ghosts
To invade my imminent dreams
Some screaming in rage
As others whimper for love
Creating vivid nightmares
And drenching my very essence
So, when I go to sleep at night
I leave the TV set on

Universal disaster

Brooks and rivulets
Unconfined in their
Moves,
Silken
Rocks
Slip the slopes.
Amphibians
Bathe in
Truth.
Bubbles
Float the sky
Above, ripples
Dance the sand,
The crescent
Is the guidance helper
Shining light with
Sunshine's hand's.
Together though
They wrench and
Sob, no longer right
Can they do their job.
No longer in harmony
They beg dear God.
Let us die,
Let us be renewed.
The universe along
With the the sun and
Moon, suffers to.

Change Me

Eddie Starr Love Poetry

Change Me

Change me, into the man that you created me to be.
Help heal me of the man that keeps wanting to be married.
Let me dwell in your Love, help me to overcome this.
I know that you have your reasons why my life is this way.
Do what only you can do to change my life to be a much better one.
Please put a heal me of all of the unnecessary brokenness.
Do what only you can do to restore me into the man.
That you originally created me to be revealing you through me.

Eddie Starr Love Poetry

Beyond Myself

There many more gifted Writers then myself here on the earth.
So I know the truth, that I am a ok writer whom allow Christ.
To write poetry that is Great through me, not entirely me whom writes.
For he wants to use us all through our writing to bless others here.
For he will always add to a offering in his name to bless our gifts.
To reveal himself to everyone else through each of our gifts here.
When we give the gift to him and deciated it to him here as well.
For there are by more ways to give to God then just our money.
For its far better to look beyond our-self to want others healed.

Unconditional

Unconditional

Is there love for another?
Much like this?
One's that unconditional,
unrestricted.
One so free...
That skeptical eyes would miss.

The beauty in such a commitment,
can't be quantified in greens or gold.
Unbound by petty materialism...
That jingles and folds.

It's invaluable...
Only to the ones who would see
and acknowledge it.
It's coveted only by those
who fearlessly dare
to embrace it.

So...

Strive for unconditional love.
For it is the greatest gift,
anyone could receive
and bestow.
For it will be the sun
that fires
the beats in your heart.
For it is the abundant glow
cascading...
From the moon's
limitless flow.
