Denis Martindale Poems

Oh that my mind could grasp the truth
Of all that Christ must mean,
Beyond the years He was a youth,
Known as the Nazarene...
...

Before you came into my life my garden knew no love!
Until you came to be my wife and we walked hand-in-glove...
For when we came to live as one, our children joined us, too!
Together, we, have shared such fun! It seemed the garden knew!
...

Belinda! Belinda! Belinda! Oh, won't you marry me?
Your negatives would hinder, say YES, bring ecstasy!
Don't put it off another day! Don't leave YES till tomorrow!
Just shout the word I hope you'll say and that would end the sorrow!
...

Kisses are cute! Of course, they are! Yet God reigns all supreme!
Tresses of hair! A Rolls-Royce car! Exciting as a dream!
Rainbows leaping across the sky - so close to Heaven's Throne!
God's answers now and by and by? Salvation's truths atone...
...

Where has my love gone? God, I really miss her!
God, I wish I knew although I know
She could come back really!
It's up to her! Wish I could kiss her!
...

A dream from nowhere came to me,
I dreamt I searched for Calvary!
I walked along God's streets of old!
I saw God's Temple crowned in gold!
...

In tribute to the brave young bard, I sing of Gabrielle.
To fall in love with her's not hard, as far as I can tell!
Though once she was a giggling girl who mostly stayed at home,
The first day watching Xena twirl was when she strayed to roam.
...

When faith runs dry in times of stress
And sighs are all that's left,
I reach down deep and pray, 'God bless! '
Although I feel bereft.
...

Lord Jesus hold me!
Please lead me to the Light!
Lord Jesus hold me!
Please feed me some insight!
...

Yes, this is the very last time... I'll never love again!
The mountain called 'Love' I'll not climb - it gets nought out of ten!
I won't even grade it as one, nor two or three or four.
I played love's games and they're no fun. In time each proved a chore!
...
