Poems about Life, God and Love



1) Frosty Minnesota March

Dennis

“Mother, you look so cold?”

(She’s gazing out the window, she loves winter time, its frightful cold this evening, though, and winters turn into a lion.)

Dennis

“Mother, I’m going south for the rest of March—come along, the winters too long for me!”

(She simply looks into my eyes says :) “The South, go on, let me be!”

Dennis

“Sweet mother dear—tomorrow they say, comes another storm!”

(Here cold eyes now look at me, says with a gleaming eye and smile :) “Then take me to Las Vegas or let me just freeze!”

2) Jesus’ Riddle to John


Jesus once said to John, a riddle, “Answer if you can...: must I die for God, or must I die for man?”

(John bewildered couldn’t say, he just lowered his eyes and prayed.)

“I take their sins…” Jesus said, “I feel their pain, from Monday through the Sabbath: in cities, nooks and valleys, and in allies, as they hide their selves from me, to sin some more in quite, as if I can’t see…!”

(John still looked bewildered but said :) “I guess you’ll die for me!”

3) Life, God and Love
(The king eater)

Saddam Hussein, he wanted to be king of kings, like Nebuchadnezzar, and so he was—:

At the end of his quest, he: crawled out of a hole, when captured; he grunted like a hog when he was judged—and he heard the hooves of the deadly horses approaching, the roars of anger by his henchmen, when he was hung.

4) Love Leaves a Debt

I am an old lover, and cry to all yokels out there:

Love a day, and for a time
For love is grim, and seldom kind….

To all you lovers have good heed
Love fades without a word, or deed.

And: —

Love always leaves an unpaid debt—
For one always loves more than the other

(and that one never gets)!
