The Open Scar From A Broken Heart

The Open Scar From A Broken Heart

A poem by MK Douglas                               Copyright © 2011

I'm tired of seeing the same thing over and over
Watching myself being the blame after the pain has gotten older
The same old scar from a giant breakup
Kept my maimed cold heart too silent to wake up
To finally realize that this world is covered with sin
And not prevent the sin within to keep me from loving again
I'd better get rid of this scar right now and don't ever delay
Its not a good thing to have when someone's love comes my way
It has me rejecting those who love me which makes it hard to receive
Because its too busy looking back at the past fearing those who deceive
Love will heal my open scar like a careful skilled surgeon
So that my love roars mighty like a spirit filled sermon.

Something's Coming Our Way

Something's Coming Our Way

A poem by MK Douglas                           Copyright © 2011

I have learned a long time ago that I better treat people right
Because God sees everything under the sun all day and all night
Nothing is hid from His eyes even though some may think differently
And when they get what was coming back to them they act innocently
Why is this happening to me? Is what many of them will say
It's their day of reckoning.  It's their time to pay
For all of the bad things they've issued out, it's come back multiplied
And what's really sad is when it hits them hard they act all justified
But let's not laugh or make fun of their time of reaping
Unless we also find ourselves in the same manner of weeping
So let's keep on forgiving those who've done us wrong and treat each other good
Because as long as we're living we'll reap God's blessings like we should.

Love Opened My Eyes

Love Opened My Eyes

A poem by MK Douglas                      Copyright © 2011

Sometimes I flip through the story of my life on a recliner
And I'd skip to when Love restored me from white lies to see finer
There's no way I'd be walking around with such great vision
When my sins had me bound.  I had to make a decision
Only if I had known what I know now than what I did before
But I still thank Love for opening my eyes so I could see more
In my early days I wouldn't dare let the words of Love get near me
I sinned in so many ways, I could care less if I didn't see clearly
It was sadly a bunch of self satisfaction which dug me deep into misery
This lust had me for lunch, so I took action letting Love delete my history
My sins lied to me.  I'm so glad they didn't last
The old me died, you see.  I'm free from my sinful past.

In The Welcome Arms Of Love

In The Welcome Arms Of Love

A poem by MK Douglas                         Copyright © 2011

As I stumbled across the hard wood floor holding my hand to my chest
I mumbled to myself could I actually be the one who is gonna die next
Of a broken heart?
Oh heart of sorrow, don't fail me now.  I have to catch my breath
I wanna be here tomorrow so please help me fight this death
And all of the voices inside of my head telling me that this is my end
I will make the right choice to not lie dead but compellingly love again
This Love I received from the Father, no way will I let it wither away
It's holding me like a gifted potter who keeps molding me out of the clay
I'm glad to be held in the welcome arms of Love instead of lying in a cold dark grave
It had to be hard for those who died from sorrow after being told they had to part ways

I Miss You My Friend

I Miss You My Friend

A poem by MK Douglas                        Copyright © 2011

I miss you my friend.  I pray that you haven't gone away
I'm with you to the end.  I'll stay no matter how long the wait
I hope I didn't offend you.  Maybe it was something stupid I said
My soul your'e not into.  Crazy stuff is running all through my head
I'm starting to blame myself.  I'm the reason why you left
My heart feels the pain I dealt.  I felt like I was bleeding inside and wept
You knew that not everything I say is something that pleases
Especially when it got around to talking about Jesus
But if you never ever want to speak to me again
Just know that it was your soul I was trying to win
I wanted you to know that He's the only possible Way
That you and I will see each other in heaven one day.

Love Found A Home

Love Found A Home

A poem by MK Douglas                      Copyright © 2011

Love has found a home.  A place where it can thrive and grow.
It moves around and roams.  Hate stares and stands outside the window
Hoping that Love will get evicted and be forced to move out of town
and then sinfully joke with the wicked and rejoice to the groove and sound
of a home where there is no Love.  This is the ultimate goal of selfish sin.
We're shown to care and share from Above.  His wisdom in our souls will help us win
against the selfishness of pleasing me and only me, which is tearing our world apart
We should all help this with not ceasing being on our knees
bearing one another in our hearts

A Sad Day At The Park.

A Sad Day At The Park

A poem by MK Douglas                      Copyright © 2011

What a pretty day it was as I relaxed on a city park bench
Thinking if it was any way to get a snap of a swifty dark finch
Then out of the blue a car pulls up and a crying lady gets out
The car spins around and zooms off to where no whining baby is aloud
I noticed the lady in pumps had hate in her eyes as she glanced at the bmw
The look made me jump as I waited to decide to say "Sorry to see him trouble you."
She sat down near me and cried so hard.  I knew it was about her pregnancy
Her fat round belly wasn't hiding no part. Eyes glued on it poking out next to me.
I tried to comfort her with the words and wisdom of a completely total stranger
Christ's love for her will heal the hurts and gives them the victory over anger
I then began to walk away and look above at Whom I forever believed
Not ever knowing if the talk that day about His love was ever received.

Traveling Down The Road Of Life

Traveling Down The Road Of Life

A poem by MK Douglas                           Copyright © 2011

Iv'e been traveling down a road to find life's true meaning
And when I'm having it found I hope that I'm not through dreaming
about that great and glorious day when it finally comes together
And how I stayed on the course and waited for my time to see some pleasure
But before that day will happen there's more tests to overcome
Just more bad days and no laughing.  I won't dare forget to hold my tongue.
As the days, months, and years go by I pray that I don't live in vain
I have to pay my dues this once in tears that won't forgive my sin's pain
At my life's end, I will get to heaven.  I will live like a holy person.
If I reject Christ then it will be nine eleven.  Everything will totally worsen.
When I arrive at the gates of glory I will cry with exceeding joy
because the devil I hate tried to end my story and wanted to see me destroyed
So in this life I will stay on the road which is the straight and narrow one
As fast as the nights and the days will go my faith is in the hands of God's Son.

The Focus Of My Mind

The Focus Of My Mind

A poem by MK Douglas                      Copyright © 2011

I try to keep my mind focused on the good things ahead
I find it deep that God chose me to think that way instead
of constantly freaking out on the fears from the past
that keep haunting me and seeking how to get tears running fast
They sometimes come from out of nowhere and attack my lowly mind
And then Love finds someone who cares to help me put the past behind
As this person tells me to discipline the bad thoughts in my head
I was glad the curse on me fell as I listened to what he said
Can I move forward not fearing to go into rewind?
Love will use the sword of God clearing what's going through my mind.

Bound By A Prison Of Hate

Bound By A Prison Of Hate              

A poem by MK Douglas                     Copyright © 2011

I've been to a place where nobody would care to go
A prison of the mind with tall walls like Jericho

You would never know why I'm there by such a plain appearance
Not letting love inside is the reason why all the hate would gain clearance

It had me hating everyone under the sun and no way was I getting parole
My cold heart was decaying and greying while all the delaying
had fun with my regretting poor soul

My prison cell was pure hell as far as I can tell
I had to find a fast way to break free
Gangs of hate would creep behind and take hold of my wounded mind
I had to make it their last day to rape me

I finally ran out from it all and this is how
those stupid walls of hate came falling down
The love of God healed my heart and tore those walls of hate apart
You'd say it's a miracle if you saw me now

The State Of My Heart

The State Of My Heart

A Poem by MK Douglas                Copyright © 2011

As the state of my heart sits in an incubation period
I really hate why I didn't start to take this revelation serious
A deep wound vexed my soul as I was sent to emergency
It will be very soon when this cold dent stops hurting me
I allowed the words of a hater to penetrate within me
And how absurd it was later when I meditated sinfully
As I imagined bad things on those who did me wrong
The devil happened to be laughing at me all along
So I said to myself "Should I stay this way?"  God forbid.
Conviction I felt.  I better pray today.  I've got to forgive.

The Long Gone Sad Love Song

The Long Gone Sad Love Song

A poem by MK Douglas               Copyright © 2011

I'm glad to tell you about how my life has changed
After the hell I went through in spite of the pain
My heart fully recovered from the hurt and the tears
No longer part of a bully lover quoting dirt that we hear
Oh how great it feels to have a squeaky clean beginning
Instead of a hated meal that leaves me mean and sinning
My trust is restored and my love is revived
Because justice soars real high above in my life
The sad song is long gone which I gladly gave to the Lord
Who slew the bad and the wrong with the blade of His mighty sword.

The Blame Game

The Blame Game

A poem by MK Douglas               Copyright © 2011

I see a big juicy red apple hanging on a tree
If I take one bite will you blame it on me?
Blame what? Is what some of you might say
Judgement on my sin never comes the right way
So blame it all on me, fuss and place the blame
And let it fall on me and just state my name
How lame can we be?  How sad can it be?
To place blame freely like we're Adam and Eve?
So blame it all on me, go and place the blame
It came for all to see and show my face in shame.
Now I'm not mad at you for pointing straight at me
I'm just glad I'm not like you who I would hate to be
But enough of this madness.  I'd rather choose God's love
Which is tough on sadness, so please do not judge.

Time Is On My Side.

Time Is On My Side

A poem by MK Douglas              Copyright © 2011


Time Is On My Side.  Where has the time gone?
I long to see some change and to stop singing the same old song.
I'm ready to live a victorious life.  I'm tired of things always going wrong.
I'm dying to see real changes.  I've been waiting so long.
I don't mean to complain.  I do count my blessings.
I have endured alot of pain.  My sins I keep confessing.
Time is on my side.  I should do what's right with it.
I better use what God gave Me.  I'm truly gifted.
24 hours a day and I just keep on living.
I pray that no selfishness overtakes what I keep on giving.
Hours and hours of time spent letting God love through me.
I truly don't want to live this life in vain, you see.
I don't want to wait until I get to heaven to love, as crazy as it sounds.
As long as I'm living I choose to do what really counts.

Love Put On Hold.

Love Put On Hold

A poem by MK Douglas              Copyright © 2011

I once was told about a love that's grown cold
Someone abused and used is how this story unfolds
This person takes his pain and keeps it bundled inside
All the mistakes and shame he gives a place to hide.
Rooted and grounded in hurt and agony
I knew it and founded his story so sad to me.
I thought to myself how can they be so mean to this guy
Then I began to listen to his words and take heed to his cry
A man in tears and sorrow with fears about tomorrow
Knows that holding back love is a tough pill to swallow.
He asked someone "Why me?" and played the role of a victim
When all along the devil tried to take his soul and trick him
Into placing blame on God for everything that goes wrong
Instead of facing the same lies he's been hearing so long
I'm happy to report that this story has a good ending
When I got word that he chose Jesus as His new beginning.

Winning The Battle Of Life.

Winning The Battle Of Life

A poem by MK Douglas              Copyright © 2011

Life is an ice cream.  Enjoy it before it melts.
It's time for me to live my dream and not someone else.
The time keeps on ticking.  No way to make it stop.
Only if I could jump back in time and turn back the clock.
This battle of life I try to fight with everything I got.
With all my might I blast demons in sight without missing a spot.
I choose to fight this war to win in life not lose by the sword.
I swing away at the trials in life and they keep coming back for more.
One by one oh here they come, so I just take them day by day.
Why oh why don't they let up some and just learn to play my way?
Winners win and losers lose.  Another defeat I cannot afford.
Sinners sin and snoozers snooze.  It's about time I trust in the Lord.
He will help me fight this fight and no more will I retreat.
Moving forward and marching on with His help I won't be beat.

Love Has Taken Over.

Love Has Taken Over

A poem by MK Douglas         Copyright © 2011


Love has taken over.  It gave my flesh the cold shoulder.
No longer drunk but sober.  So glad I didn't wait till I got older.
My flesh keeps screaming why.  I tell it that God's love can no longer hide.
The test is to keep seeing it die.  I gotta keep winning this battle inside.
Love has taken over.  Selfishness has left the building.
Like a good soldier to the Spirit I keep on yielding.
Love has taken over.  It kicked selfish sin out the door.
So many times I've seen love win this title bout before.
Love has taken root.  And those roots run deep in my heart.
Love has a place in you.  It grows true and keeps the sin apart.
Let me share this nugget with you and I pray that you all will get it.
The only way that selfishness will win is if we sin and let it.

Afraid No More.

Afraid No More

A poem by MK Douglas.         Copyright © 2011


Hahahaha!  Who's laughing now?  I'm the one.
Fear thought it had me down, but now it's done.
It's had enough.  It ran far away from me.
I've gotten tough.  Don't think what I say is funny.
It was either love or fear.  I had to choose.
Let me make it clear: This war was mine to lose.
Fear thought it had a chance to win.  It tried to creep in
Trying to get a man to sin.  Again and again.
But love came on the scene strong.  It corrected my delaying.
It doesn't seem wrong, not with effective praying
Killing all thoughts to stop moving.  I no longer hesitate.
Being scared is what I'm not doing.  My love goes stronger out the gate
Running like a horse full speed ahead.  Eyes focused on the prize.
The fear in me is indeed dead.  I no longer listen to it's lies.

I Used 2 B.

I Used 2 B

A poem by MK Douglas.         Copyright © 2011

I remember the old me back in the day
Who always let the sin in me have it's way.
I now look back at those days and wonder how
I talked with a very nasty mouth so foul.
I always tell people who didn't know me then
How they would hate to see the old me again.
If they only knew what I was like so full of sin
A dark cloud hovered over my devilish grin.
I crucified that old me some 20 so years back
Who tries to rise up often with a surprise attack.
Trying to get me to choose selfish sin over Godly love
But thankfully I choose right from my Help above.
People who I used to not like, I no longer hate them
It's hard to do that after I became a new creation.
I need to get in contact with old friends who need to see this
They need to see the new me who truly loves Jesus.

Right Now.

Right Now

A poem by MK Douglas        Copyright © 2011


When will I ever learn
That God's love is something I could ever earn
When will I ever know
That His unconditional love will never go
When will I ever see
That His goodness will never stop following me
When will I ever help
To realize that I could never justify myself
When will I ever choose
To stop acting like I'm all confused
And know that when I'm strong in Him I never lose
When will I ever adapt
To the stone cold fact that when it comes to the depths of His love
I don't know jack.

Looking No More.

Looking No More

A poem by MK Douglas       Copyright © 2011


I was searching and hurting for a love that would hook me
It was thirty and a sturdy long days I was looking
I traveled the globe and wandered in many far away countries
And I hoped as I pondered if any hearts of them loved me
So I wore out and poured out alot of love energy
To see if anybody would want to be kin to me
But then on the thirty first day I got lucky
Just when I never ever thought a person would hug me
The same person who did hug me told me Jesus loved me.

Someone I Know.

Someone I Know

A poem by MK Douglas    Copyright © 2011

I know of someone special.  One sent from heaven above.
A truly gifted vessel, beaming forth God's love.
Who this person is - I don't know if I should tell.
Maybe it's a woman, or perhaps a good male.
If I were to tell you, I would ruin the secret.
I'm compelled to -  No way I'm gonna keep it.
Now don't get surprised if you can't guess it right.
Just close your eyes and see a well lit night.
And look up at the stars and say "Am I the one?"
Would you really go that far and ruin all the fun?
Okay, Okay, I'm almost done with the teasing
Today, no way do I pray without ceasing
For the one person I have kept hiding from you
Whose agape love keeps shining so true.
You knew it all along - I was talking about you
Don't get me wrong the way some without it do.

Just out of the blue?

In July 2011, I wrote one poem.  And then after that one poem it seemed like a fountain of inspiration poured all over me and it hasn't stopped.  I wrote some songs back in the day, but not poems.  Anyway, the poems I am writing are all centered on the love subject.  The GODLY AGAPE UNCONDITIONAL love.  God's love.  I am still learning on how deep it is, but it can't be measured.  It will take me forever to fully understand it, but hopefully as I continue to write the love poems, many of you who read will be inspired to think more about God's love and let Him love through you.
