Rooted And Grounded

Karina Oakes

1 min read

Rooted and grounded in his love

This love, is definitely from above!

Immeasurable, as far as the east from the west

He will love me forever, always the best

His love is deeper than any trees roots

Deeper than any river

Fuller than a quiver

My roots dig deep down

By him I want to be found

Having his salvation

Is my foundation

This love from above

Forever rooted and grounded in his divine love...

Lovestruck

I remember when we first met

You were striking a ball over the tennis net

You glanced towards me

I smiled back at you,with such glee

After you’d finished playing

I noticed the net fraying

I walked close by

Pretending I hadn’t noticed, I

looked up at the sky

Eventually we met for real

We were in McDonalds

choosing a meal deal

We got together, engaged, married

And your babies I carried

You died ...

The Night I Disappeared

Karina Oakes

4 min read

It was a night just like any other. Me and my best friend going out on the town. Painting the town red, living it up, blowing our wages on frivolous things we didn’t really need. Then out for the night in something we’d bought new that very day. We hit the usual hotspot- Legends or what we would term Leg-ends thinking it was really funny and making newbies laugh as we queued up to get in. We check...

Monsters

Menedez twins were they

Blown their parents clean away

Spent their money

Living it up

Till they were caught

Menedez brothers

Shook them up

When they got locked up

Jail, doors shut tightly

In case the monsters come

Door shut tightly,

might the monsters come!...

A Little Peace

I’ll be so glad when my daughter goes

Feel drained and not at peace

She shouts, she’s bossy,

Overreacts, makes out I’m a victim

Never leaves me alone

I don’t like to moan

But when she goes

I’ll be so relieved

I’ll then find out

Is there such a thing as too much peace ?...

Stoic

This is quite new to me

A subject for my Poetry

With my writing book

Upon my knee


Stoically posed in thought

An idea simply caught

Standstill, oh no

Please don’t go!


Thoughts whirling around

Lost from sound

The Orchestra play

No words, not found


The stoics were wise

Unlike me

Who can’t find some words

For my Poetry...

Pushed

1 min read

I was walking into town when suddenly an invisible force knocked me over, clean off my feet. I was nearby the Nags Head pub in my hometown. I looked around and no one was there. I got up, brushed myself down. Winced as my back now hurt me. I went to look in the pub yard, no one there either. I peered through the window. The usual punters, none were smirking or looking out the window. None of them ...
