Denis Martindale Poems

The Holy Spirit comes to those aware of sin and death,
Yet who is He who died yet rose? Jesus of Nazareth!

With Pentecost, the Church began and tongues of fire, too,
...

The poem dangled straight ahead
And hypnotised my eyes,
At first, it filled my heart with dread,
That tempting tiny prize…
...

LOOK FOR REVELATION!

Look, I am the bread of life...
Yes, You are!
...

Justified for eternity,
Embraced both night and day,
Sanctified thanks to Calvary,
Used by God when I pray...
...

O Lord, bless my brother in Christ,
For You are good and just,
You know all that is sacrificed
By those You come to trust...
...

O Lord, bless my sister in Christ,
For You are good and just,
You know all that is sacrificed
By those You come to trust...
...

O Lord, bless my brother in Christ, for You are good and just,
You know all that is sacrificed by those You come to trust...
And since my brother proves he cares in everything he does,
I pray that You will hear his prayers because he loves Jesus...
...

What is free verse! ? What is free verse! ?
I'll tell yer what's free verse!
Free verse? That's when the poet gets nuffink!
Not a penny, not a sausage for his poem...
...

The dream felt real, so real to me, upon that sloping hill,
A distant hill was there to see, with darkness brooding still...

My Saviour's cross was barely seen, yet there, Christ was in pain,
...

Behold the dream that came last night, a lucid dream as well,
A dream that caused a fearsome fright, as if it came from Hell!
For demons fought and dragons, too, against a righteous man,
Encased in armour, faithful, true, so brave he never ran!
