Joseph Oliver Poems

United we Stand, Divided we Fall!
We fought to defend this Land!
And We will obey it's fighting Call!
For we Live in America, A land of the Brave,
...

I wander the world of nightmares alone,
I step through gates of fear,
and into the darkness clear,
pain stabs at me with a million knives,
...

This is the gift unto me: The power of the Judah Lion!
A holy, holy, present I see: It comes from the Mount Zion!
My Soul burns, My Spirit truly yearns,
God has given the power that discerns,
...

My heart aches for you my love,
For your grace, is as beautiful as heaven above,
For your voice, for your smile,
For your choice, I'd run a mile!
...

What is left of me is Pain,
My soul has demons to be slain,
What is left of me is Sorrow,
For you and me there is no tomorrow!
...

You are my saving Grace, you are my love,
You are my Aphrodite, my Lady of the Dove,
You are my Joy, You are my Pride,
Out to you was the first time my broken soul ever cried!
...

She Kissed my face and stole my soul,
She left my life a big black hole,
She made my blood black as coal,
She and I will lay on a grassy knoll,
...

Morning calls, Evening falls,
When yellow rays meet Gaia's face,
Again ye, mortals begin thy eternal race!
When Birds begin their morning song,
...

Triumphant lies the Shade of Man,
"Awake, Awake ye mortals with lives like sand! "
Today the Wine, Tomorrow the Bread,
Alas, Can he be Brought back?
...
