DIVINITY
Tom Blake Jan 2017
A
Small soft hand took hold of mine (adult).
This, to my eternal gratitude, has happened
Manifold times throughout My life.
This time
Was
Different, more of a connection...
I
Would call it
DIVINE!

When I looked down at the little one's clutch...
It was
My own
Infant hand in mine.

Circle complete.

I am ready
For
The
Infinite... Always was since my inception...
I do not look up to anyone! Similarly, I do not look down on anybody! We are all equal! Remember that!

No one can offer me Heaven

Already have it.
The trouble is...
Holding

At all costs!

The World
Is
Asleep

In its Space
Surrounded
By stars, planets and
Deep
Darkness.

I
Am
There
On that planet
SO small
SO minute...

Probably

Reading
A
BOOK.

Tom Blake Apr 2017
Before you press the button
Ignite the bomb, end it ALL
Please consider what it has taken
To get where we are -
A lot of blood, sweat and tears
Discordant,
Revolutionary years.

Is this what YOU want -
Your work down the drain?
Is this what you want -
To annihilate
The human race?

THINK!
About the CHILDREN
Their Trust, Faith
In the older age.
They're relying on YOU
To show them
The Right things to do.

Looking lovingly at you with
An innocence divine.

Is this what YOU want -
To destroy them all?
Is this what you want -
To
END
The
World?
Well, is it!?

Before you press the button
Ignite the bomb, end it ALL!

Please consider,
The REST of ManandWomankind!
Tom Blake Apr 2016
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.
From planet earth.

The True Monarch
Tom Blake Mar 2016
The truth of the matter is
If there are Kings and Queens
Then We ALL are!...
Every Man a King
Every Woman a Queen
And,
Not a minion in sight!

Eyes
Tom Blake Mar 2016
Her eyes
Reflected

I
Would respond
Kissing her eyelids
Drink her tears

Passing Love
Tom Blake Mar 2016
Where has She gone?
She simply walked by
Leaving
An indelible impression
Like
The smell of a flower
An Autumn sunset
And
Every good thing that occupies
This earth and life.

I don't know her
One sense percieved her
She
Was more than beautiful!

Transient Love
Is that possible?

This is repeated frequently in my
Journey through life
I
Fall in love all the time.

Mark Twain...
Tom Blake Sep 2016
Said a wonderful thing
In the last part of
"Eve's Diary"
Which
I recommend
One should read.
I just love this...
Are You ready to understand and embrace this?
...."EDEN IS WHERE EVE IS"

So much better than a million other things,
Especially, Oppenheimer is where
The Bomb is.

...to everyone who has commented on my attempts at poetry, I would like to convey my most sincere thanks and gratitude... and wish you ALL progress in your every endeavour.
Tom Blake Oct 2016
Child,
Grow up for heaven's sake!
Be quiet !
Speak when you are spoken too!
Children
Should be seen and not heard!
That's
How it was for myself.
I do not want sympathy,
Just,
To let others know...Beware
Of
Grown ups!

Now liberated from

Communicate
Tom Blake Mar 2016
On the shore
Let me walk
At my feet
Feel the sea
Thinking of thee

O Mysterious God
Touch my soul
Communicate
I await

All I hear
Is the sound of sea
Waves rushing to me
And Feel the breeze

Your creation's
Touching me
Your Touch is fine
Makes serene
My Mind

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.

HONESTY
Tom Blake Jan 2017
What is honesty?

One's heart aching to express everything good and bad in one's
Being. The question is , Who can one turn to?
What
Is good
What
Is
Bad?

Personally,
It is  killing
The body and the mind.

But
Who,
Really,
Can
We
Turn too?

The
Simple truth is
We can do it on our own
With
One
Necessary
Component...

Namely,
GOD.

And

A unshakable, unshakable
Belief

In
One's self!!
Tom Blake Feb 2017
There's an Innocence within
I
Will
Never
Deny!

The Child in Me
Wants not to cry.

I shouldn't need
To protest
I,
Just want
What is Best.

Cry
Crying
Sob
Sighing!

PAIN and reliquishment
I
Never asked for.

The innocent Child
My
Essential
Help
Me
Know
Who
I really am.

I've
Ran for years
Shed so many years
Tears of Joy
Tears of Sorrow
Everyone
Of us
At
Any given moment
Will
Not
Be here...
Tomorrow.

Then what?
Then what?
Then?

Perplexed!
Tom Blake Mar 2016
Why do you offer me hope
When inside you know
This world is deceitful
It 's
Such a sham!
I want to grasp
Grasp something Secure! Something    sincere!
I want
To feel
Safe
Relaxed.
Help me
Show me
The way
To Be
Secure.
I ask
You All
Out there on planet earth
Respond.

If I here
Nothing
Then that's what I have grown
Accustomed to.

If We Believe!
Tom Blake Mar 2016
Don't you ever wonder, Love
What this is all leading to?
You and me and the rest of mankind
You and me and the rest of mankind.

Will utopia be reached?
Will there ever be peace?
For you and me and the rest of mankind.
Will it always be this way
The Way it has always been?
Harsh reality we ever face
While inside for peace we dream.

You know it's going to end some day
For you and me, everyone
But it's written there's a better life
For those who do what is right...
A better place filled with peace
Waiting there for you and me
If we believe
if We Believe!
For you and me and the rest of mankind
You and me
And the rest of mankind.

Light is 1st.
Tom Blake Jan 2017
Picture
An angry sky...
Thunder and lightning
Tornado and cyclones,
Turning things asunder,
The
End is nigh!

Looks bleak
Is an understatement!

However,
Behind the angry sky
Permanent and steadfast
The SUN still shines
Sustained
By GOD'S
LOVE and CARE.
GOD
Is always there,
Like
The Sun.

Behind
The darkness
There is Light,
Giving everlasting
Hope  and respite
Through Life...
Ne'er despair,


Our Creator is ALWAYS there!
Always,
With the Best of  intentions!
Happy New Year to all on this site, And sincere best wishes always to those who believe in LOVE...Not sugary love!

Feel
Like a lamb,
Innocent
And
So PURE!

Waiting...
To be slaughtered!

For
What?
Histories mistakes?
MAN'S?
Whose?
Certainly,
Not Mine!

I jump around the meadows
All Day
Waiting....for a
Mutual
Friend to
Play
With.

Many times
I
Ask
What have I done?

Just
Let me play
Don't
Take My world away
Which
Many will do
And,

Don't
Have

Light... Will Always Shine!
Tom Blake Mar 2016
Although things fall apart
And appear to be dark
It's never the end
LIFE
Goes on,
And
The LIGHT still SHINES
However dark the times.

I see too many souls
Stuck on death
Accepting the end
PROCLAIMING the end!
While LIFE goes on
And
The LIGHT still SHINES!
However  "dark"  the times.

EYEs
Tom Blake Mar 2016
Only her eyes I saw
Everything else was opaque.
She was concealed by a tradition
Only her eyes were naked,
Wide and hazel,
Scintillating, Captivating!

Her eyes
Reflected
All her emotions.
I
Would respond
Kissing her eyelids softly
Drink her tears
Instil Love
Allay any fears.

I would make her aware
SHE could BE
HERSELF!

MORE, than Her Eyes!

Don't want it to ebb away

To know only Love
It's where we truly belong...
In our own
Perfect Love song.

Don't want tomorrow to come,
I want the moment to live on
Untouched by age and time...
Like a flower never withering,
Remaining always in the perfect state...

Defeating death and decay!

Motion
Tom Blake Mar 2016
The window is ajar
The Lacey curtain is lifted lightly
By a Summer's breeze.
The daylight, morning sunlight
Illuminating, enters the room.

You
My Love are still
Still in slumber
Soft and warm
Beneath the sheets.

I lie beside you
Awaiting your awakening
Awaiting the colour of your eyes
The movement of your lips
The softness of your voice
The motion of your Being.

The Sun, does it shed tears?
The planet has witnessed so much
Over the years.
If it does
We will never know

Of instantaneous evaporation.
Can anything get close enough
To determine so?

Am I thinking about!...
How can a non- sentient object show
Emotion?

Regardless,
The Sun is an awesome presence!
