by ~Atothetheist

Oh, how I've fallen

I was flying so high

looking, not down,

but up towards the sky

But my wings were broken

so I went down

With only one tear in my eye

Now I'm on my knees

Crying, wishing for God to let me fly again

"God, please"

Oh,how I've fallen

No need to weep

just fall back asleep

for your pity is something I could never keep

oh, How I've fallen

you're still crying

I can hear

how come?

When, to you, the skies are so near

I'm on the ground

where hateful around me are abound

Oh, how I've fallen

I am a disgrace

I don't deserve

God's Holy Grace

I have fallen so low

that every one here only says one word "No"

I want to fly

but I fear that if I try agian

I will die

because with me so low and you so high

I could never reach you

so why bother doing something I can never do

Still, I love you.

oh, How I've fallen.


( ..... The shit I wrote when I was a fundie..... Not bad stuff looking back, but now it makes me facepalm)

Ha ha, that is so funny. I also wrote a poem, I think I was 13 years old, and it is somewhat similar. I memorized it back then, I still know it (cuz I'm a poet).



Deep in the forest
Where the green moss lies
A baby bird hatches
And begins to fly

It flies about the mountains and the trees
It sees the village men get down on their knees
It hears them whisper a song of prayer
It hears them whisper a song of prayer

[GirlyMan]

I wasn't.
I was.
I wasn't.

I'm about to drop some mad truth, son. This poem will get buried in the great fabric which these internet threads compose and will never be recognized for its genius. I'm going to say this right now, and you all remember this for the rest of your days: This poem is more brilliant than it will ever get credit for. Wicked props.

Learning To Dance Again

With some effort, we’re
learning to dance again

The steps
once easy
but now …
so many years

We’ve forgotten how
to move
to invent
to hear our music

New dance partners
New steps

Not too fast,
not too quick, quick
slowly does it.

He leads

Light on the toes
hand on arm
fingers touch
sway to the rhythm
movement in the hips

Off we go

Make her spin

[morondog]

DLJ = the master. Holy dude shit.

This is supposed to be about Jesus, isn't it?

Well done Erx. Top marks.

Yes, it's about Jesus getting back on the dating scene after being ditched by his long-term gf Mary M.

I thought I had been subtle and cryptic but you spotted it. Good job.

Hey, don't go trying to psychoanalyze Girly and Manly's sex life, just go fucking dance.





Great poem by the way.

Connections

(…for Nicole. At her estranged father’s bedside, a candle burned out as he took his dying breath.)



For better
for worse
you left me.

You did not want me
to see you
grow old
or grow up?

Yet,
we are connected
in thoughts
in words
in silence.

What there was
has all but gone;
your candle
almost burned away.

Such strength,
such courage,

to choose your moment
to let the flame flicker
and die.

And…

for what you did for me
before
and after
I was born

I thank you.


Still connected
I need no more signs to show me
........................... how much you love me.

You love me.
