Denis Martindale Poems

Although I trembled at the thought... and wondered what to write,
God told me, Send a praise report! Good News, upbeat and bright!
And all at once, reminders came... and these made me type fast...
Of miracles in Jesus Name... with healings meant to last!
...

Who is this God I see in dreams... who says He is the Lord?
And is He truly as He seems... who must not be ignored?
Who comes with all-consuming light... far greater than the sun...
Who stands for justice and what's right... for God's will to be done...
...

God grants me gifts that I may serve... and preach Good News to all...
To share the Gospel on this Earth... God's finest miracle!
I know that my Redeemer lives... His Name is Jesus Christ...
It's through His Name that God forgives... in His Name I'm baptised...
...

The man with eyes that still perceive… esteems this present day,
With all its blessings to receive… before night steals away…
For like a dream, it comes then goes… as if to melt with time,
With total truths God only knows… that could have proved sublime…
...

I've struggled with it day by day… and even night by night…
Sometimes, of course, it will obey… and then I take delight…
But just like that, the cursor's gone… it's then I'm on my own…
Without much hope to carry on… I'm in the Twilight Zone!
...

The festering thought just grows and grows, a morbid weed and vine
Or tainted like a rambling rose, untamed, no more benign…
Unfettered by society, apart from laws and rules,
No more a joy for all to see, except for those turned fools…
...

Just how hard can it truly be
To write in rhyme for poetry,
Such that both heart and mind agree,
Therein must dwell sweet harmony?
...

I do not pray to the angels that play their harps above…
I do not pray to saints from Earth who found God's grace enough…
Like Christ, I will pray to my Father, the Father that I love…
...

After the Saviour was scourged,
His back was left to bleed...
And 'Crucify! ' the crowd then urged,
For hatred to succeed...
...

When Gal Gadot was playing her,
It was so nice to see,
When Wonder Woman caused a stir
When tasting was the key...
