Denis Martindale Poems

The chilled dark night had passed away
And daylight came with dawn,
Fresh warmth was born and chose to stay
And blessed a brand new morn...

GOOD VERSUS EVIL: SPIDER-MAN'S VOW

This I would vow, to make my stand
Defending what is right -
...

When Adam named each living thing, as he was told to do,
He saw that some could fly and sing. 'Why can't I do these, too? '

He saw some creatures burrow down beneath the earth below
...

The neglected dog looks such a sight! His coat is full of fleas!
Yet once he filled you with delight! He really loved to please!
The neglected dog has tapeworms, too! They're ghastly to behold!
Yet once this dog showed love for you! He once was good as gold!
...

True love's first endeavour
Is of course just to release me,
Yet it's not meant to appease me,
But to lead to the light
...

Stored in the future, not yet born,
Are poems still to write,
To grant hope to the hearts forlorn
That seek some new insight.
...

He bought the 12-pack, took it home,
No patience, straight away...
Chicken and mushroom, added foam,
With sweetcorn, too, hooray...
...

The miracle of love's reward,
Indwells us every day
And blessed are those that trust the LORD,
Whatever, come what may...
...

The lion learnt a thing or two
For getting his own way,
A timely roar, if overdue,
Reminding to obey...
...

When God is silent, doubt begins,
Yet Jesus prayed again,
Was this the time to die for sins
And if not now, then when?
