Christianity Poems
23. My Psalm
by Kea Campbell
Oh Lord, oh sun; save me with drought.
The enemy is larger than man, but hope is stronger than the winds.
We are pursuers by the Word, and perpetuated without it.
We are consumers by the Word, and vendors without it.
We are two or more by the Word, and isolated without it.
Oh God, oh giver; buy us before we sell.
You are the baker, and we are your patrons.

15. Baptism Sentiment By The Confined
by Kea Campbell
It comes in waves, yet all waves stay.
No currents in this tub, her worries astray.
Swimming in thoughts and welcoming prayers.
Sitting chest-high, surrounded by raisers.
Eternality fine-printed, and she signed His waiver.
She grants her last breath, and submits to her Savior.
Plunged for five seconds, but too short and partitioned.
Immersed a bit longer, ‘cause six’s too wicked.
Seven is His, and now she’s forgiven.

34. Exodus
by Kea Campbell
God is full of it.
Full of Compassion,
Full of Grace,
Full of Faith.
God is inexhaustible.
He is over-bountiful,
He is overflowing with Loyal Love,
He is Just from above.

32. 1 Corinthians 13
by Kea Campbell
While we were still sinners, Christ died for us out of love.
Lust is human nature, but love is patient, love is kind.
Envy is human nature, but love does not envy, it always trusts.
Pride is human nature, but love does not boast.
Gluttony is human nature, but love does not dishonor others, it always preserves.
Greed is human nature, but love is not self-seeking, it always hopes.
Wrath is human nature, but love is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrong.
Sloth is human nature, but love does not delight in evil, it rejoices with the truth.
Do everything in love.

57. Love Is War
by Kea Campbell
A running mind and a sprinting love;
Always wondering "Am I too much for everyone, yet not enough to be your only one?"
My thoughts weigh down my stomach and I keep sinking to the floor, but when I realized I was drowning,
I grew too weak to swim to His courts.
Although He gifted me life and I am selfless enough to give anyone mine,
When He pours His love into me endlessly, my heart leaks petrol, like channeling methane into the sea.
I float in your presence and suffocate in our togetherness, because my love for you is like an ocean of gasoline,

53. Corinthians
by Kea Campbell
Peace acquaints companionship, and you might not see it now,
But the Devil befriends seclusion where no witnesses are found.
Some battles are mental, and even those leave visible scars.
So, as you go about your days, please offer your whole heart.
Hate is a criminal and casualties are evidence,
And, although 'be kind' is cliché, it furnishes joy and declares reverence.
You might find yourself asking what differently you could have done.
And to that, I would say, “Do everything in love.”

39. A Day In His Courts
by Kea Campbell
Distractions feel good, that's why they're distracting.
When are you going to trade the temporary for the everlasting?
I dwell on mountain tops, but I come from rock bottom.
I've been cut and I've been broken with plans for no tomorrow.
While I was weeping in my closet, I heard a voice in my head.
It didn't come from this world, nor did it deduce rightful dread.
While I was weeping in my closet, I heard a voice from within.

35. More Of Him
by Kea Campbell
I no longer pray for my bad habits to be cut free,
Instead, I pray that His love claims victory.
I can try to love the world just as much as I love Him,
But if the world wins me, he loses a fruitful fig tree.
I no longer pray for compensation in haste,
Instead, I pray for His unwavering grace.
Favors are no longer kind or free,
In this world, everyone is all about "me".
Yet, in my attempts to offer loyal consonance,
