Don't let them that say its all untrue
Dupe you.
JESUS IS!
And
ALL WILL see
The TRUTH
Which is he.
JESUS is not a lie!
And he will come from the sky.

This WILL be witnessed by ALL
By and by.
Tom Blake Apr 2016
I found a door
With no lock, only needing
The gentlest push
And
It opened freely Wide.
I
Entered inside
Therein I encountered
The Truth
Of All things.
God!
It makes So much sense!
If only They knew!
I can' t go back
They
Solely
Have to find this door.
Tom Blake Mar 2016
Make yourself discernable
Let my senses percieve
Your Love and Being
For I want to believe.

There's Wisdom in your words
I know You're the way
Out of this confusion
That surrounds me today.

I can't make it alone
I need your love
With me
Every day.

Hear my plea, Lord Jesus!
Aid the lost soul
Equip me to combat
The evil in the world.

Let me bear the sceptics
With their alternative Lives
Let me know deception
Yield not to its lie.

I can' t make it alone...

Make yourself adjacent
Let my spirit receive
The Holy Ghost
For
I do believe.
Tom Blake Mar 2016
Do we live just to be a memory?
Like
A living thing Once was
But

Now a fossil?
Tom Blake Apr 2016
Sometimes
My body let's me know
Just how close we are...
Because
Most of the time I wander about in my Spirit
Feeling ever youthful and immortal.
Tom Blake May 2017
I feel like a leafless tree
I feel like a dull grey sky
I feel like an abandoned child
I feel like a too tight tie.

I feel like a rusty train
I feel like an arrow with no aim
I feel like a tuneless tune
I feel like a creator on the moon.

I feel like a polluted sea
I feel like a shell with no pearl
I feel like an order less mass
I feel like an atomic blast.

And
So
Is
Yours
Too!
Where does that leave us?

Eve was innocent
And also absent a childhood
Like her counterpart.
She
Was beguiled by a bona fide Pro
They never stood a chance!
But at least they had a valid excuse:
Their unsophistication.

Her eyes
Reflected
ALL
Her emotions.
I
Would respond
Kissing her eyelids
Drink her tears
Allay
Any fears.

Look
Into
MY
Eyes....
Can' t
You
See Paradise?

PARADISE....
Is Not LOST!
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!
Tom Blake Nov 2016
Take me
To your realm of Love,
Oh my Precious little Dove,
Take me there,
Let me Share,
ALL
My
LOVE
With
YOU!
I,at times, feel/think I am vacant of Love... the love I do see and feel in the world around Me fills me Love----a Child's smile, a Sunset...a bird's flight from a perch expressing it's
Freedom with its wings.

Reticent.
Requiring solitude,
Nothing
Superficial
Nothing
Profound,
To
Be
On MY own
Not a sound
No music
No guns
No controversy
Not a sound.

For a while
Let me stare
And
Not care.

They stood there holding hands
Looking at the sunset,
Then turned face to face and gazed
Into each others eyes,
Unaware
Of their imminent lose of
Paradise...

They kissed and they prayed
Through the gardens they strayed
Smelling flowers and watching birds
Fly...
They wandered through trees
Lay upon dewy leaves
And looked attentively at the clouds
Pass in the sky...

THEN...
There came a black day
Which
Stole youth away
Leaving everything to wither and
Decay...
Now
The lovers lament
At the darkness sent
And will weep till the end of their
Days.
Tom Blake Apr 2016
Flowers make me...blossom!
Flowers emit the scent of optimism
Flowers and bees have the sweetest
Relationship.
Flowers, like children, should be left
To grow naturally
With the utmost tender Love and care.
Flowers are a visual feast!
Flowers Uplift , Inspire, Delight
A
Flower
Is a peek
Into Heaven.
Flowers
Are God's floral symphony.
Inspired by Tiffany's poem -  ' Please, Don't Pick That Flower ' which is beautiful! Please go and check it out fellow poets!

I hear footsteps In the Heavens
I believe it' s God
Pacing about
He/She/Child, has Something on
Their mind...
And,
It's to do with US... mankind!

The steps Stop!
Giving Something thought.
PENSIVE!

Walking
Is resumed...
Back and forth
Back and forth
Mulling
Something over.

I'm speculating---
It's Time...to INTERVENE!
Tom Blake Jan 2017
I
Watched, this morning, a seagull swoop and dive outside my
Urban Window in awe ,wow!
Then,
Watched
The Left
In the house of commons
Trying
To make the right
See the error of their ways...
Cutting wealthfare,
Causing extreme hardship
To their fellow human beings
To
NO avail.

(Intervention--- look at history...The rich, monetary, fiscal, money,
Money , money!.... Something inhumane IS ruling things!)
The Tories
Calls it "tough love"
Yes, it is tough....ABSENT of love!

Regardless, all has been said
With
More to be said
For the
So called
Erudite
To listen.

Even if they don't
The
Heart
Will
Prevail!

Those gulls lull my soul!
Hope

I
Can
Only
Write
Half a song,
Paint
Only half
A picture
Write
Half a
Poem.
Half love
Half care...
I
Am
Incomplete!
BUT
Let me say
I
Enjoy
Half
A lemon
Half
A Sunset.

I'm not going to change the
Way I look or the way I feel
To conform to anything.
I've always been a freak, I have to
Live with that, you know.
I am one of those people.

Want to say...'There, there, everything

We are friends
But of late
I have been looking at you differently
And
Inside
There is a longing
I have to repress.
You are already in love and happy,
I see:
I would never harm that, my friend.
Though Secretly,
I wish
Your love was for me.

There have been times
Where I have almost disclosed
How I feel
But
It wouldn't work
Just cause hurt.
I can see how in love you are
I would never harm that, my friend.

Secretly, I will love you from afar.
Secretly,
I love you!

How many have been in this position
Loving a love already loved,
Honoured
That union,
Loving in silence
A love repressed,
A secret love
Love still a bud
Never having blossomed
And
Taken to the grave?
.
God
Tom Blake Apr 2016
God
Change me
Make me
What I
Am not...
Make me strong!

Don't let
Only words
No, no
Only words
Let Me BE Strong!

Right now  I'm sinking
Loosing power  by  the day
I've got to do
Better
Than I am doing
I've got to do better.

Give, give me strength
To carry on
To carry on!

Don't let
Only words
Lonely
Words.

Let me
Be
Strong!
This was written in my early thirties.

"I"....!!!
You?!

Then....
Tom Blake Apr 2016
She came
Into my life
Like a lucent star in the night
And
Sparkled in my eyes.
I
Thought
I was dreaming
But soon I was believing
She was real.
She
Touched my senses
Elevated my soul
She took me to Heaven
Imbued me with
LOVE!
Tom Blake Apr 2016
No one can offer me Heaven
I
Already have it.
The trouble is...
Holding
On to it
At all costs!

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 Mar 2016
When you killed six million Jews
When you ruin the earth with pollutants
Terminate the embryo
Create an Atomic bomb
Have millions starve
When your priorities
Are opulence and power
When you deceive
To become rich
When you promote
Violence?

How can I laugh...
Even
Smile?
Tom Blake May 2017
The scene
Was not romantic at all,
It was quite the opposite.
I
Was there
In a war torn country
Amidst the calamity and pain...
Quite
Unexpectedly,
While taking photographs
A native girl came into view
SHE
Was beautiful!

SHE,
Was shielding
CHILDREN
From the chaos
Around!
Immediately,
I
Went to her aid:
We
Got
The CHILDREN
Aboard the U.N. trucks
Which
Drove them
To safety.
SHE
Stayed behind to help,
I,
Introduced myself...
SHE,
Said
Her name was...
"LYLICA"

SHE...
Hastened to help the wounded,
It
Was
Then
WE
Parted company.
I kissed her on the cheek
And
In her distress, she smiled at me.
We said " Goodbye"
I took my camera
To the other side,
The media
Wanted two points of view.
Will I
Ever
See her again? Went through my head
And,
Her name, her name..."LYLICA"

It's six months now
I'm back home.
The war situation is resolved.
I'm
In my apartment
After a story seeking day
I've got Lylica's photo in my hand.
I reach for the phone,
I book a flight.
I'm smiling,
I'll be there by midnight!

Tom Blake May 2017
Oh, the things I might have said and done
But
Didn't do or say,
All I did
Was it meant to be?
Was it "really" Me?

There's no time
There's Still time
What's coming next?

What
I
Am,
I'm dissatisfied,
Never too pleased with what I do.
I'm
Just a a mediocre guy
And,
I try
And I don't,
Try and don't.

I look around
See deeds I'd like to have done
Words I'd like to have said
People I'd like to be (: Jesus)
I'm never pleased, no, never pleased
With Me.

There are many things I'd like to say
I'm not saying,
Things I'd like to Do I'm not doing
Many ways I'd like  to BE I'm not being...

I'm
Not Being...
I'm not Being...

There's no time
There's still time
What's
Coming
Next?

Rebirth?
This is not recent expression
But feels like it!
Tom Blake Mar 2016
I see
People broken.
Broken
In what way
I ask myself.
Well, I say:
Firstly, I am broken,
And i think that makes one more attune
To recognising others in a similar way.

I have a want
To mend things
Even if I cannot
Mend myself.

What I have noticed
In my stolen life is
EVERYONE
Is broken,
And that is a fundamental TRUTH!

I am so confident
With My outlook
My calculations
My judgements
My standpoint
I
Am
Right
For the first time in my controlled life
I am right
And this I write.
Tom Blake Jan 2017
When I see
A new born baby
Received by its mother....I believe in Love.

When I see
A Sunset
Appear in the sky
And Shine....I believe in Love.

When I see
Mother Teresa's
Work
In Calcutta...
I
Believe in Love!

When I see
My Lady
Lying naked on the bed....I believe in Love...
Yes,
I
Believe,
Believe in Love...
Yes, I believe!

When
I
See somebody happy and elated...I
Believe in Love!

When
I
See people cry, caress and kiss....I
Believe in Love!

When
I
Hear.... the the words... of Jesus Christ....I
Believe!
YES
I
Believe...YES, I believe...
In LOVE!...

When
I
Contemplate
ALL
CREATION....I...

Believe
In
LOVE!

...
Feel
Like
A lost soul
At times
Struggling
To be
Set Free...
Where
Is My destiny?
Someone
Out there, help me!
Tell me
Everything will be

Okay.
Set
MY Spirit Free!
Let me fly high into the night skies to
Be with
You.
Where ever you are  commune with  me.
Don't lift
That
Phone,
You
Don't know
My number, so  just
Let Me slumber.
Wake me!
When
You are ready to set me Free.

I cry.

But ,
I will
Wipe my tears and
Carry on.
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.

They are not an invasion,
But a new equation,
Going forward,
A new nation.

Going forward,
We can embrace,
A different face,
In a new place.

Going forward,
New plans,
Different clans,
In a new land.

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!)
Tom Blake Mar 2016
There's an innocence within
I will never deny!
This child in me
Wants not cry.

I shouldn't need
To protest
I just want what's Best.
Cry...crying
Sob...sighing!

Pain and relinquishment
I never ask for.

The innocent child
My essential
Help Me
Know
Who
I really am.

I've
Ran for years
Shed
So many tears
Tears of Joy
Tears of Sorrow

Everyone one of us
At a given moment
Will
Not
Be
Here
Tomorrow.

Then what?
Then where?
Then....?
Tom Blake Feb 2017
