I am here
And value this time
And always will .

Really do not need to say any more!

But

Technology
Tom Blake Jun 2016
Like industrialisation
May seem
Like
Progress,
But
In reality
It's
A mess!
It's
A vacant creation
VACUOUS!
It' s
Against NATURE !
Against
Purity
And
Truth.
It's
Nothing to do  with
Old age or Youth,
Biology
And
ALL
The
Ologies...
Academics
Scientists
Historians
Politicians
Theologia­ns...
Do Not Call The Shots!

Outshine

My heart beats
I walk the streets
So much going on
My Heart's GOT to be STRONG!

Got
To bear This Life
'Trouble and Strife!'
Trouble
And
Strife!

Got to be True
There's only Me and You
Few give a ****!
The Wolf is out to Slaughter
The Lamb.

Be Sincere in your prayer
'Cause the End
Is Truly Near!
The Moon's colour is Red

My...Beginnings
Tom Blake May 2016
I never felt welcome
Always felt in the way
They would shout,make me tremble,
Never
A good word to say!

My little heart broke

In tears I choked.
My little heart broke,
Tears

Sometimes...
Tom Blake May 2016
I wish
I could cut myself off
From the commotion in the world.
Find
A door, portal, or some outlet
Which would take me to a state of
Tranquility;
A place were I could lay my body down
And not feel
The slightest twinge of pain...
FEEL
Unpolluted
Unailed.

I have no regret
About my decision.

And Baby Too (song, 80s)
Tom Blake May 2016
It's another day
The minutes tick away
You sit and knit
I sit and sketch
A flower
In a vase
On the table.

We are but two
Doing what we do
There are very many
Doing too.

It' s another day
The minutes tick away
You nurse the baby
I sing a song
About us
In a day
Passing time away.

Question...
Tom Blake May 2016
Who
Is of
Consequence ?
Tom Blake May 2016
It hurts my head
Seeing what man does to man
Does to man.
It scares me!
Make s me want to cry.
I can't believe it, but it's true
Life
Is
Crazy
And killing still continues.
Women
Are being *****
Children too!
They are being sadistically tortured
But
It's nothing new.
Men
Are killing men
On the streets,
In the home
WHY
Is there so much KILLING
Still
Going on?!
WHY
Haven't
WE
Seen SENSE
That
Killing is not the game?
It's
To LIVE
Like RATIONAL human beings
Instead of
ANIMALS
INSANE!!
These words were written a while ago but still are pertinent today and likely tommorow, but optimism and belief in God gives me solace. We all Hurt, I know...I want to say more but will leave it for now with the utmost respect for all who read this.

Space/Objects

Mercury asked Venus
'Where's Earth?'
The Moon interposed
Saying, ' There!'
Mercury went,' Ah!...
So that is the CENTRE of
Attraction!'
Mars and Jupiter
Did their own thing,
Hung there
Without a string.
Saturn,
Was distracted,
Mesmerized by the fleeting, burning
Asteroids
Giving Saturn a cosmic wink!
Uranus
And
Neptune
Drank it all in,
The
Universe,
And
got
Pluto/'d!

The Sun!
Humankind exclaimed!
WELL..She,
Kept herself warm
By the fire.

The Universe!

HAD

Natural Distraction
Tom Blake May 2016
He was making his way
To the job centre to claim a benefit,
When a garden Rose,
During his perambulation toward
degregation, SMILED!...he felt
A connection...
He dismissed it!
Thinking himself unworthy,
Why?...Well,( the system)FAILING...
Failing as a child
Failing at school
Failing in society
Failing those that rule.
The ROSE ignored the rule...
To the ROSE, it RULED with its flaws  and
Perfection!
The Rose knows
More
Than humankind knows!
The
Rose Smiled...
It's the Only way HE
Could interprete it...
It
Was
A
SMILE!
Of the Greatest
Genuinitity!

He Smiled back
And felt SO good!

Impractical Wish
Tom Blake May 2016
Wish
I could ease your pain
REMOVE
Your pain!
All I do is hold your hand
Try to understand
Trying not to be
A Job's comforter.

It hurts to see your anquish
Observe too your rage
I am angry too
At the devastation wickedness has made.

Vindication
Is on your mind
Through tears
You try to comprehend
The rationale behind this atrocity
Now all you feel
Is Intense animosity.

Who
Are they
That cause such grief?
Who topple buildings
Leave thousands
Dead in the streets
Leaving
Behind
A Massive Weep?!
An Avalanche
Of
Tears.
How
Do THEY
Sleep?
Father, forgive them for they know not  what they do...Jesus. In your case ,Jesus,they didn't! THEY know what they are doing to the innocent/ innocence. With the ultimate
Respect to Our Lord, who was the most innocent... A lamb! (and more!)

Bath bomb You
Erupted
In my bath tonight
Like a volcano...

I enjoyed watching you
As you
Bubbled away.

You ignited
With so much sweetness
And scent... floral essence!

The
Petals within
Floated
To the surface
Like a Garland
Toward the shore.

Bath bomb
You gave me the universe
And more
You
Bath bomb
I adore.

CONTROLLED

We are ALL fragile.
Tom Blake Apr 2016
I feel so fragile
Ready to break
I'm like a little porcelain doll
Ever so delicate
Ready to fall
Shatter
Into tiny little pieces.

DON'T pick up  the mess!
You
Never helped  Me
When I was whole, complete
At My best
SO why now?!

Go away!
Leave me alone!
I don't
Need Your sympathy!
Too late!
The Damage is done!

Parents and Others!
Tom Blake Apr 2016
Would it not make eminent sense to
Encourage believers to follow the example
Of Mary and Joseph and regard their Children as the Children of God ( which in a sense they are ) rather than treating them as their own personal property ?
The image of God entertained by children
Who  have received LOVE Is a mirror of their first experiences. Their God...WILL
Understand, encourage, explain pass on knowledge, and be tolerant of mistakes. He
Will never punish them for their curiosity,
Suffocate their creativity, ****** them ,
Give them incomprehensible commands, or strike fear into their hearts. Jesus, who in Joseph had just such a father, preached
Precisely those virtues.

Whisper
Tom Blake Apr 2016
I'm a whisper
Just
A whisper
In the wind.
I am blowing
Through the trees
I am as fresh
As the morning breeze.
I am
Just a whisper, whisper in the wind.

My whisper echos over the hilltops,
Over the seas
Beyond
And, ever so far;
Listen to that little whisper,
You may hear me say...
I   LOVE  YOU!

I am Blessed, ever so Blessed
By so many things;
My
Mortal Soul
Will one day be layed to rest.

May you hear
that little whisper.

To appease and console,
You revive and restore me again

Love
Tom Blake Apr 2016
I can't believe it!
Can't believe it's true
You've lost your love for me
Gone off with someone new,
Leaving me behind
With a tortured mind
I'm still very  much in love with you
How can you be so unkind!?

Don't shut the door!
To come back no more
Don't walk away with another's hand!
Leaving mine alone, reaching out
And wanting you to be there
Feeling only air
My hand is groping in a void
Soon, my heart will be destroyed.

Don't leave me
Be
Near me
Do  you hear my cry
While beside another you lie?

My cry is in vain
In pain I remain
You were rational, you were right
I'm just
A little uptight...
I utter  goodbye with tears in my eyes
I hope
You get on well
As I burn  in Hell!

Don't
Leave me
Be
Near me!

Do you
Hear me?

God,
You know how we feel.
You
Became like one of us
And sustained the ultimate pain
In the being of Jesus...your beloved Son....
SO
You know
What it's like to Suffer!
How it feels to lose a beloved child!
What it's like to be humiliated,
Betrayed,
Hated and abused!
So
None of us
Can cry into the heavens
'WHY!'

I Love You.
