Kura's poetry from the heart
Right, I've decided to copy sheherezade's idea of a poetry resovoir where I put all of my poems in a single thread. I hope you don't mind me copying your idea Sher. So the first few poems will be ones I've already posted. I've got a new poem ive written as well so there's something for people to post replies too.

Absence is to love as wind is to a flame. It extinguishes the little, it ignites the great.
Life is a test. It is only a test. Had this been real life you would have have been instructed where to go and what to do.
When i argue with reality I lose.....But only 100% of the time.

The Wanderers Search
I thought up this poem while i was thinking about searching for the truth. It doesnt rhyme at all, but a poem doesnt really need to rhyme. I hope you all like it.
I am the dark wanderer
I travel with nobody
Trying to discover the truth
Where ever i should travel
Is this a noble quest?
Searching, al;ways for answers
Nobody has ever suceeded
Will I be the first to find it?
People look for it in God
And search for it in science
Neither path seems to have worked
But both have got close to the truth
The truth should be self-evident
One single ultimate truth
I have traveled a lifetime
And yet, i still have not found it
The only place i have not looked
Is deep within myself
I will start my inner journey
Perhaps the truth is within.

God Is Our Strength
I need prayer
You need prayer
They need prayer
All of us do
Join others in prayer
And God will hear
Every one
And answer our call
He is our strength
For now and forever
Against all of
Satans temptations
I hope you all like it. It just came to me while i was praying for God to give others the strength they need to beat temptation.

Lone Wolf
Friends are few in the wilderness
I, the lone wolf, must fend for myself
In an endless struggle to find food
If i stop i will certainly die
I see another wolf pack ahead
searching for food in this cold wilderness
My heart yearns to introduce myself
But i hold myself back remembering
The last time i found a pack of wolves
They never ever accepted me
I couldnt take that cruelty again
So i wandered away from the new pack
I was a lone wolf
That was my fate
Until the day came
That i would die....alone
This is one of my old poems that i wrote a while back and i just found it. When i wrote it i felt alone like i had nobody to turn to. It was a hard time in my life. I hope you like it.

Trust In The Lord!
Through this struggle
We have come
Stronger than
We were before
Though Satan tried
To break us apart
We've come closer
To each other
And closer to God
When Satan tests you
That's when you get strong
In christ, our Lord!
He never forsakes
His children when
They are in need
He's always there.
To guide and aid
His followers
So we need not fear
Satan's attacks
Trust in the lord
And anything
Is possible
Praise the Lord!
Me and my girlfriend have recently gone through our toughest trial and in the end we overcame it. I was only able to help her because God was there with me and it served as a powerful lesson in how powerful satan is, but also how powerful God is as well. You can do anything with God by your side!

When You Know Love
And my latest poem, Whe you know Love. Being in Love with someone is the greatest feeling in the world and I wanted to make a poem based on that. The first thing i thought of was that when you know Love you know God. This poem built up from there.
When you know love
Then you know God
Love is perfect
God is perfect
Let Him fill you
With His great Love
So you can show
Others His Love
When you know Love
Then you know God
Love is His gift
To everyone
Nothing beats it
Love has power
Beyond human
Understanding
When you know Love
Then you know God
Love is perfect
God is True Love
The greatest gift
On Earth is Love
When you know Love
Then you know God
When you know love
Then you know God
Love is perfect
God is perfect
Let Him fill you
With His great Love
So you can show
Others His Love
When you know Love
Then you know God
Love is His gift
To everyone
Nothing beats it
Love has power
Beyond human
Understanding
When you know Love
Then you know God
Love is perfect
God is True Love

'When you know Love' is definitely my favorite from you, Kura. It's so true and I just really enjoyed reading it. I think you might have made a bit of a typo here though: With His great Love/Show you can show/Others His Love Do ya mean 'so you can show'? Well, anyway I think you did a great job.

The dreams I dream for you
Are deeper than the ones your clinging to
Let the old dreams die
Like stars that fade from view
And take the cup I offer
And drink deeply of the dreams I dream for you

I can't believe i didnt notice that one myself. Lol! Thanks for the assist shadowvlade.
Oh, and the title of the poem is "God is True Love" although the original title was "When you know love" I just forgot to change that in the little note i made on the poem.

Good job, Kura!!
I like 'em all!
I like 'em all!
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone
And so hold on when there is nothing left in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!' ...you'll be a Man, my son!

Satan, bite the dust!

Truth and Lies
It's hard when you realise
That something you've believed
For your entire lifetime
Was nothing but lies
That lies became the truth
The truth became a lie
When you simply don't know
The difference anymore
You can be so stubborn
With your version of truth
But it wont change the fact
That your truth is a lie
Confusion follows that
Certainty you once had
You begin to question
What is truth and what is lies
It's so hard to accept
That, in the end, you were wrong
To sacrifice your pride
And admit you were wrong
Satan's lies can often
Seem sound and logical
But always remember
He is the master of lies
Each of us is searching
For the truth blindly
Until we find something
We can truly believe
Sometimes the truth is clouded
Behind a viel of lies
Each lie building always
Upon the last without end
Let's pray that everyone
Can find the real truth
That only Jesus Christ
Our Lord can provide.

I liked how you went back and forth, repeating yourself. It makes the reader understand just how confused you were. I think also because you chose an inconsistant rhythm that added to the confusion too. I don't know if you did this on purpose, but for the last stanza, you had a consistant beat and that's when you were realizing that Jesus was the only way. Guess it just shows that you weren't confused anymore. Or maybe I'm reading too deeply into this. Lol. Well, I really enjoyed reading it. Oh, and I think that "When you know love" is a better title.

Wow!
I never thought i was that good.
I just write when I get the inspiration and that inspiration can come from anywhere. Sometimes from anime, sometimes from what im feeling at that moment. "When you know love" came when I was thinking about my girlfriend and how much i love her.
The start of my poems always seems to be one single phrase that i think up out of the blue then I try to build a poem around that. It's a lot of work sometimes, but it's definately rewarding when you're apprieciated.

Always Put Your Children First
My next poem is on a subject I have no personal experience of, parenting, but I tried to think about what I'd say to a parent who asked for my advice on how to be a good parent.
Always put your children first
Being a parent is hard work
But those years you spend raising
Your children are always worth it
As a loving parent to
Your children you have a duty
To teach and raise your children
To the best of your ability
Remember they learn from you
What is right and what is wrong
And one day they'll have children
Of their own who will learn from them
Parenting is not easy
Nor should you expect it to be
However, it is rewarding
And all the work will be worth it
Parenting is a full time job
So treat it as such and spend time
showing your children you love them
Because otherwise they won't know
Your children can't read your mind
So if you want them to know
You love them tell them and show them
Be the best parent you can be
Always put your children first
Being a parent is hard work
But those years you spend raising
Your children are always worth it
As a loving parent to
Your children you have a duty
To teach and raise your children
To the best of your ability
Remember they learn from you
What is right and what is wrong
And one day they'll have children
Of their own who will learn from them
Parenting is not easy
Nor should you expect it to be
However, it is rewarding
And all the work will be worth it
Parenting is a full time job
So treat it as such and spend time
showing your children you love them
Because otherwise they won't know
Your children can't read your mind
So if you want them to know
You love them tell them and show them
Be the best parent you can be

When i argue with reality I lose.....But only 100% of the time.
Once you've decided on a course of action, only you can finish it. As long as you remember that, there's nothing you can't accomplish.

Life is not about us using God for our purposes, but about Him using us for His purposes.
Faith is not creating a false reality, but acknowledging God's promises for us.
The dreams I dream for you
Are deeper than the ones your clinging to
Let the old dreams die
Like stars that fade from view
And take the cup I offer
And drink deeply of the dreams I dream for you

I do not understand
I wrote this one when i was confused about why it's wrong to be gay. When i didnt understand what was wrong about gay people. I've only just found it again.
Why is being gay wrong?
Why is loving someone wrong?
How can love be so wrong?
I do not understand
God is love itself
Yet to love is a sin
Does that mean God is sin?
I do not understand
God says that it is wrong
To love the same gender
Yet He is love itself
I do not understand
Show me why Jesus Christ
I want to understand
It seems unfair to gays
I do not understand.
I think this is the first poem ive written that has repetition in it. Tell me how you think it works.

"The only consolation I find in your immediate presence is your ultimate absence."
"Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today."
Lord I give you my heart
I give you my soul
I live for you alone
Every breathe that I take
Every moment I'm awake
Lord have your way in me..

"The advice I like to give young artists, or really anybody who’ll listen to me, is not to wait around for inspiration. Inspiration is for amateurs; the rest of us just show up and get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightning to strike you in the brain, you are not going to make an awful lot of work. All the best ideas come out of the process; they come out of the work itself. Things occur to you. If you’re sitting around trying to dream up a great art idea, you can sit there a long time before anything happens. But if you just get to work, something will occur to you and something else will occur to you and something else that you reject will push you in another direction. Inspiration is absolutely unnecessary and somehow deceptive. You feel like you need this great idea before you can get down to work, and I find that’s almost never the case." - Chuck Close[/color]

What wonders will tommorow bring?
Happiness or deep sorrow?
Blessings anew from the Lord?
Another trial to test my faith?
Why worry about tommorow,
When today has it's own troubles?
Try not to live in the future
nor the past, but in the present
Have you ever wondered,
Why it is called the present
The answer is obvious.
The present is God's gift.
The inapiration for this one came from God or more specifically God's word. I was reading "Do not worry about tommorow for tommorow has it's own troubles" The verse was something like that. Thankyou Lord for the inspiration to write this poem!
