Denis Martindale Poems

What can I write? What should I write?
In truth, it would be nice,
Within a dream, unveiled each night,
To get the Lord's advice…

What Makes Poetry Beautiful?


What makes a poem flow like wine or dance upon a page,
...

What makes a poem flow like wine or dance upon a page,
Or celebrate all truths divine, transform both love and rage?
What makes a verse converse and share or touch as if a breeze,
Or whisper like a secret prayer one says upon one's knees?
...

As long as good stays in your heart, to guide you on your way,
Such that the Lord can still impart His blessings every day,
Then I give thanks for all that's done, despite each pain and strife,
For God will bless you through His Son... I thank God for your life!
...

Father, in Heaven, forgive them,
They know not what they do,
For their hatred is the problem,
It clouds their point of view...
...

The prophet woke up from his bed,
He then began to write,
Explaining thoughts still in his head
God helped him dream that night...
...

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...
