Your Little Game

"It's really not fair

I don't mean to complain, but do you even care

It is easy for you to not think

About what you do

And how you hurt all those around you

You just went away 

Fro my life

Never thought I'd see

Another day with you near me

And you just come back

Did you even think as you pulled me off the rack

And said once again you love me

Or am I just your little game

Am I just a toy, my heart just a piece

That you will throw out, will your brow even crease

As you hear this

Does it make you sad or does it make you pissed

Did I find you out

Or do you want to give me a teary kiss"

~Grace Marshall

From my poem, "Your Little Game"

Then Jesus Came

"Through the darkest night

Through the pain and fright

Shone the savior's light

My life was consumed with sin

The darkness was out and within

I was lost and dyin'

Every day was a fight

My only hope was night

When I could crawl from sight

There was no way for me to win

It switched from honesty to me lyin'

There was nothing out or in

And then Jesus came

And I have never been the same

Since I've known His name

Light floods around me

He constantly forgives me

He's all I care to see"

~Grace Marshall

From my poem, "Then Jesus Came"

"Person of Faith" Snippet

"So many flaunt themselves and try to be seen as great men and women of God. Why? Does it matter what men think? Should it matter what men think? Their opinions cannot be taken to the Great White Throne Judgment and those opinions will not keep anyone cool in hell. No drink of water will be forthcoming from a good opinion." 

~From "Person of Faith"

Releasing This November!

Quiet

"Quiet

Don't tell me what to do

I'm not taking anymore

Of this listening to you

Quiet 

Don't tell me what to do

I'm not blind

I know I love you

Quiet

My heart is hurting

I'm not ready to be complete

In my forgiveness"

~Grace Marshall

From my poem, "Quiet"

Sinful Seduction

"Siken satin sheets

     Spread out beneath you and me

     Shimmering with smells while we rest

In sensual, slinking seduction

     Softly soothing us to seclusion"

~Grace Marshall

From my poem, "Sinful Seduction"

So It Seemed

"I love you

With my whole healing heart

I missed you

When I fell apart

I hated you

For deserting me

I felt you

I wasn't free

I need you

To bring back trust

I want you

There is such lust

I saw you

Everywhere I went

I knew you

Before you left"

~Grace Marshall

From my poem, "So It Seemed"

So What

"So I ran and hid

So what

Tell me you haven't been afraid

Before

I know you hide too

So no one sees

I see it in your eyes

All the shutters

No one even knows you

Or what you think

So yeah, I ran and hid

Afraid of emotions

But I know so have you

So do you

Stop trying to make me

Show you me

It will maybe come

In due time

Okay, so it probably won't 

So what

Don' tell me you've shown me

All of you

I'm afraid of love and trust

So what"

~Grace Marshall
From my poem, "So What"

Person of Faith

"Paul was still a human, what made Paul great was the God he had. He went from persecuting the truth to professing it only because he found the truth of a great savior. Yet, Paul is not this hero in purple robes. For some reason, people like to create heroes of people that did works for God, but they are not superhuman. Yes, they are heroes in that they helped people find the truth and not burn in damnation for all eternity, but they are still simply humans.

Taking a critical look at Paul, his words were tough. The gospel he preached did not exactly proclaim feelings of warmth and he was hard on his congregations.  We read his letters today and glean truth and scripture from them as the churches back then hopefully did as well. However, I bet Paul would have been a difficult person to be friends with. He was active and had tough preaching and never quit. He was quite blunt and a know-it-all. He was the kind of person a lot of people would be offended at and he most likely would not be the one you would turn to when you needed a hug."

Another Chance

"So this is another chance

Just another

Another one of those chances

Like the sun

Getting another chance to brighten

The world

Like the deer

Getting another chance

With its newborn fawn

Like each brand new day

Getting another chance

To be brand new

Before the next day

And the next"

~Grace Marshall

From my poem, "Another Chance"

What's Love

"I need your touch

Any leaving

Is just too much

It’s this believing

That meets me

It captures all

Blocks vision so I can’t see

I slowly fall

It blocks what I could be"

~Grace Marshall

From my poem, "What's Love"

Want It Back

"When I feel a warm body holding me close

Heartache give me a double dose

And every time I try to reach out for someone new

It just make me realize how much I love you

And when I kiss someone else

It's like I'm kissing you yourself

And when I close my eyes

It's you I love I realize

You took my heart

Using your unstoppable darts

And I want it back

Your love I lack

I want my heart back

I want it back"

~Grace Marshall

From my poem, "Want It Back"

Past Attempts

"I don’t understand

You hold my heart in your hand

It seems to be like grains of sand

I no longer know where you stand

I thought my heart could be strong

It seems that I was wrong

And now I long

To take back my love song

And whenever you leave

I start to grieve

You made me believe

So do not deceive"

~Grace Marshall

From my poem, "Past Attempts"

Only Three

"I cried many tears

I opened many cuts

I fought many fears

I died many deaths

I went through many hells

And all I can think of

Is you

Your wonderful self

And How

You saved me

You love me

You held me

You kissed me

You served so many

You brought much love

You stood for liberty

You fought for what's right

So many words I've heard

So many words have been spoken

But only three

Make a difference to me

And they are

I love you"

~Grace Marshall

My Poem, "Only Three"

On Clouds of Love

"I once flew over a silver moon but the moon turned crimson and dripped with blood so I slit it across my wrists. I once danced on the clouds below a shining sun but the sun turned black and fell. He tried to rekindle the flame but he can't do it by himself. He needs my help. So I plead with him that we can start with a new golden moon. And we can dance in a new way on clouds of love."

~Grace Marshall

From "Clouds of Love"

Loving You

"No need to fear

The unknown

Life or death

You became saved

In the night

You found light

I drove over

To see you

Just to pray

You had wondered

Now you know

Why I'm me

It is Jesus

Loving Me

That guides me

Thank you for this

I prayed

You'd see Him

And now you have

Thank Jesus

You can too

Can't you feel it

He's yours now

A great friend

He'll be with you

Through your life

Loving You"

~Grace Marshall

From my poem, "Loving You"

Love Me

"I've been thinking

You in my mind

My dreams are sinking

Why did I leave you behind

I think more and more

About what could have been

What if I hadn't fallen on the floor

What would have happened then

One decision seemed to ruin me

It changed my life

That I now see

All of my grief and strife

I don't need anything

And I don't need anyone

My finger doesn't need a ring

Yet from solitude I run

To my knees I drop

All I can hear are my screams

But I just can't stop

Your image floods my dreams"

~Grace Marshall

From my poem, "Love Me"

Lose My Head

"How do you continue

When you feel alone

I deeply miss you

I'm shaken to the bone

The sky is blue then red

I fear if I close my eyes

I'll lose my head

Thinking of our goodbye"

~Grace Marshall

From my poem, "Lose My Head"

Look To The Cross

"Where are we headed?

What route are we taking?

Where have our footsteps treaded?

What future are we making?

God is taken out of the school

Christianity is mocked and scorned

As His tears fall in large pools

And His heart is torn"

~Grace Marshall

From my poem, "Look To The Cross"
