Henrico Riet Poems

She that has my heart in keeping,
Tho' I for her sake be weeping;
Little knows what grief I feel,
But I'll try it out with Steel.
💘💖💃🕺💘💖

Ambition's haughty nod,
With fancies may deceive ;
Nay, tell thee thou art a god,
And wilt thou such believe?
Go, bid the Seas be dry,
Go, hold earth like a ball,
Or throw her fancies by,
For only God c'n do it all. 🙃🙂🙃

"When I am falsely accused, I become silent and search for the Kernel of Truth that is hidden in this Injustice of Incompetency. ♻️💨🔥

Turn something of Thy look,
And fear me rebuke,
That I ;
May timorously.

Take tremors in Thy arms,
And with contrived charms;
Allure;
A love unsure. 👌

Some hav' eyes, and will not see,
An' some would see, an' hav' not eyes;
And fail the tryst, yet find the Tree ;
And take the lesson for the prize.

Little Jesus, wast Thou shy
Once, and just so small as I?
And what did it feel like to be
Out of Heaven, and j'st like me?
I should think that I would cry
For my house all made of sky.

Hadst Thou ever any toys,
Like us little girls and boys?
And did Thy mother let Thee spoil
Thy robes wit' playing on our soil?
✝️✝️✝️

Sometimes I visualize an accusing finger pointing at me every time someone raises the subject about which I feel the most guilt.
You know loneliness of sleepless nights when a Carousel Projector whils round about in my mind playing pictures of past choices I made and, cannot UnMake. 💔💔

O it was sad enough,weak enough, mad enough.
Light in thier loving as soldiers can be,
First to risk choosing them, leave alone losing them;
Now, in far battle, beyond the south sea. 👧👨👩

Keen sense of severance everywhere prevails,
Which shapes the late long tramp of mounting men;
To seeming words that ask and ask again,
How long, O striving Hendrico, Max's, and Gails...

And what my mirror shows me in the morning,
Has more blotch and wrinkle than of gloom;
My eyes, too heretofore all glasses scorning,
Have just a touch of rheum...

God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise an' weak things of the earth to build us strong...

I who love God, God accepts while loving so, 🥊🥊.. And sees within my eyes of two.
