Love’s Listener Karen Torbiak 2000 With starlight from golden hair falling she answers the Higher Power’s calling Wrapped in streams of moonlight guided by the path the stars light This woman of celestial beauty great compassion is her single duty Called Love’s Listener she holds for many years holding precious all thoughts that fill her ears Coming from where love reigns supreme sent to earth man’s hearts to redeem To a planet filled with darkness is her call as selfishness leads to love’s final fall To this world of pain without repent two sisters have been already sent One whose name given by one on high cannot be spoken came to earth with weapons hoping man’s heart’s could be woken Her elder sister Love’s Hope came too with desire to kindle love in the hearts of men anew There will yet be four others sent down this path before the Seven Angels will be released to bring their wrath Seven chances are given to bring the light of love back into hearts to live what’s right So it has been promised, so it will be done His love will overcome and the battle will be won She feels the anguish enter her heart though yet far from where she would start Compassion floods her body as she cries crystal tears that streak across the skies Pain assaults her from all sides as she settles to listen to children’s cries Unloved, unfed and left to suffer the pains in a world of people only interested in gains Their pain is pitiful to behold her heart cries out someone these little ones to hold All she can do is hear their loneliness in their world devoid of all loveliness Next cries of mothers reach to fill her ears for children loved on bended knee they pray their fears They have gone from hearth and home this world of evil alone they roam While mother’s tears flow free what sights will these innocent eyes see These mothers whose hearts broken by evils grasp as children’s souls are tokens A mother’s love spread far and wide tares hearts as children from love are taught to hide The cries of women left by men who wanted more are left alone when babies cries and wifely tears can do nothing to keep them home This woman sent her heart does tare for futures they must live and bear There is no pity for single mothers these days for compassion sake this woman sent kneels and prays With love she works hard for rent she needs to monthly pay and feed her children she tries her best each day Her women’s tears have washed away her dreams and left her wanting with low self-esteem This woman sent on bended knee prays hearts become soft that they may see For men she too lends a listening ear fore loss of love they held most dear Their hearts are sore and bleed blood red but taught they must feel with their heads Left for the party and the gold their love wasted on the beautiful and bold Men fight to hold the pain within while women loved are lost in sin Men whose hearts were soft and love did give lost to a different lifestyle she went to live For these men her heart did bleed as she watched pain grow from planted seed With tears of compassion she listens still knowing the course is set it is His will As she listens she begins to understand this lack of love He can no longer stand Where dreams of mans eternal worth will perish in the storm sent to earth Please people of earth take compassion that when he comes you will survive anger’s passion For love not given and love not known His light of love to all man must be shown Know that she is three of seven now sent to prepare the earth for love’s loss repent Love I leave with you my friend whether it be in your life or of yet the essense of your dreams.

"With love she works hard for rent she needs to monthly pay and feed her children she tries her best each day Her women’s tears have washed away her dreams and left her wanting with low self-esteem" Startime I thought this poem so very pretty and deep. I like how you thought of yourself as an angel. An Angels work is never done and neither is Gods. It is sad to think of all the povery and crime in this crazy world we live in!!  I feel the part i pulled out is my favorite part because a womans dreams should not be washed away and a child should help her get through a hard time.Take care, Lisa "The head learns knew things, but the heart forever more practices old experiences" |

wonderful imagery here in this lovely tale. I have read several of yours now and I was wondering if you rhymed... and now I know and yes you do and you do it well... excellent cadence... well chosen vocabulary. very well done and a most enjoyable read. take care jm Sprayed across my heart and hers Danced butterflies in the wild This angel, this woman , who loves me with the innocence of a child. ~DeVante~ |
