    Psalm 7 ESV, In You Do I Take Refuge

    In You Do I Take Refuge A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the Lord concerning the words of Cush, a Benjaminite. 7 O Lord my God, in you do I take refuge;      save me from all my pursuers and deliver me,  2 lest like a lion they tear my soul apart,      rending it in pieces, with none to deliver. 3 O Lord my God, if I have done this,      if there is wrong in my hands,  4 if I have repaid my friend with evil      or plundered my enemy without cause,  5 let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it,      and let him trample my life to the ground      and lay my glory in the dust. Selah 6 Arise, O Lord, in your anger;      lift yourself up against the fury of my enemies;      awake for me; you have appointed a judgment.  7 Let the assembly of the peoples be gathered about you;      over it return on high. 8 The Lord judges the peoples;      judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness      and according to the integrity that is in me.  9 Oh, let the evil of the wicked come to an end,      and may you establish the righteous—  you who test the minds and hearts,      O righteous God!  10 My shield is with God,      who saves the upright in heart.  11 God is a righteous judge,      and a God who feels indignation every day. 12 If a man does not repent, God will whet his sword;      he has bent and readied his bow;  13 he has prepared for him his deadly weapons,      making his arrows fiery shafts.  14 Behold, the wicked man conceives evil      and is pregnant with mischief      and gives birth to lies.  15 He makes a pit, digging it out,      and falls into the hole that he has made.  16 His mischief returns upon his own head,      and on his own skull his violence descends. 17 I will give to the Lord the thanks due to his righteousness,      and I will sing praise to the name of the Lord, the Most High. Poems are green and Poetry is mean. -Poetry Beast Please accept my endless gratitude, I'm tickled pink, You're a gift! Thank you for your time and attention.

    I Do Not Love You Except Because I Love You - Pablo Neruda

    I Do Not Love You Except Because I Love You By Pablo Neruda   I do not love you except because I love you; I go from loving to not loving you, From waiting to not waiting for you My heart moves from cold to fire.    I love you only because it's you the one I love;  I hate you deeply, and hating you  Bend to you, and the measure of my changing love for you  Is that I do not see you but love you blindly.    Maybe January light will consume  My heart with its cruel  Ray, stealing my key to true calm.    In this part of the story I am the one who  Dies, the only one, and I will die of love because I love you,  Because I love you, Love, in fire and blood.   Poems are green and Poetry is mean. -Poetry Beast Please accept my endless gratitude, I'm tickled pink, You're a gift!

    Be Nobody’s Darling - Alice Walker

    Be Nobody's Darling By Alice Walker  Be nobody's darling;  Be an outcast.  Take the contradictions  Of your life  And wrap around  You like a shawl,  To parry stones  To keep you warm.  Watch the people succumb  To madness  With ample cheer;  Let them look askance at you  And you askance reply.  Be an outcast;  Be pleased to walk alone  (Uncool)  Or line the crowded  River beds  With other impetuous  Fools.  Make a merry gathering  On the bank  Where thousands perished  For brave hurt words  They said.  But be nobody's darling;  Be an outcast.  Qualified to live  Among your dead. Poems are green and Poetry is mean. -Poetry Beast Please accept my endless gratitude, I'm tickled pink, You're a gift! Thank you for your time and attention.

    Never to Dream of Spiders - Audre Lorde

    Never to Dream of Spiders by Audre Lorde Time collapses between the lips of strangers    my days collapse into a hollow tube soon implodes against now like an iron wall my eyes are blocked with rubble a smear of perspectives blurring each horizon in the breathless precision of silence one word is made. Once the renegade flesh was gone    fall air lay against my face sharp and blue as a needle but the rain fell through October    and death lay    a condemnation    within my blood. The smell of your neck in August    a fine gold wire bejeweling war    all the rest lies illusive as a farmhouse on the other side of a valley vanishing in the afternoon. Day three    day four    day ten    the seventh step a veiled door leading to my golden anniversary    flameproofed free-paper shredded    in the teeth of a pillaging dog    never to dream of spiders    and when they turned the hoses upon me a burst of light. Poems are green and Poetry is mean. -Poetry Beast Please accept my endless gratitude, I'm tickled pink, You're a gift! Thank you for your time and attention.

    Poetry - Nikki Giovanni

    Poetry by Nikki Giovanni poetry is motion graceful  as a fawn  gentle as a teardrop  strong like the eye  finding peace in a crowded room  we poets tend to think  our words are golden  though emotion speaks too  loudly to be defined  by silence  sometimes after midnight or just before  the dawn  we sit typewriter in hand  pulling loneliness around us  forgetting our lovers or children  who are sleeping  ignoring the weary wariness  of our own logic  to compsoe a poem  no one understands it  it never says 'love me' for poets are  beyond love  it never says 'accept me' for poems seke not  acceptance but controversy  it only says 'i am' and therefore  i concede that you are too    a poem is pure energy  horizontally contained  between the mind  of the poet and the ear of the reader  if it does not sing discard the ear  for poetry is song  if it does not deligh discard  the heart for poetry is joy  if it does not inform then close  off the brain for it is dead  if it cannot heed the insistent message  that life is precious    which is all we poets  wrapped in our loneliness  are trying to say Poems are green and Poetry is mean. -Poetry Beast Please accept my endless gratitude, I'm tickled pink, You're a gift!
