John Sensele Poems

Break free from the yoke of resentment
In which past hurt festers
As you entertain sad sentiment
With bother and boredom blisters.
...

‘Tis a pity love passed me by
Just when I needed comfort the most
To cajole me, caress me, heal my cry
When all I received was love's ghost at high cost.
...

Feelings like a yoyo rise and fall
When striking like an earthquake
They coerce hearts to call
For a significant other to convey a cup cake.
...

Friends are the leaven
Who raise our lives quality
As we move towards Heaven
In gratitude, serenity and humility.
...

Such love as my feelings give
Heals the heartbroken
Whom foes can't forgive
Though hope for them remains unbroken.
...

Hearts of hope in this world exist
Despite much blindness
Which driven by doggedness to resist
The chance to win happiness.
...

‘Tis Christmas, put a smile on a face
That all year long despaired
Wondering if a meal trace
Could pitch up to get his stomach repaired.
...

If Christmas in homes that weep
Could offer the poor advice
To remain steadfast and faith to keep
Jesus would tell them He has paid the highest price.
...

Some days sow sorrow
They warn us to tread with caution
On grounds where a furrow
Threatens to thrash our mission.
...

Faces upon which we frown
Hold the key to our future
Hasten our happiness in the town
Where we grow our cute culture.
...
