A Dedication

by Robert Burns

Expect na, sir, in this narration,
A fleechin, fleth'rin Dedication,
To roose you up, an' ca' you guid,
An' sprung o' great an' noble bluid,
Because ye're surnam'd like His Grace-
Perhaps related to the race:
Then, when I'm tir'd-and sae are ye,
Wi' mony a fulsome, sinfu' lie,
Set up a face how I stop short,
For fear your modesty be hurt.

Vanitas! Vanitatum Vanitas!

by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

MY trust in nothing now is placed,

Hurrah!
So in the world true joy I taste,

Hurrah!
Then he who would be a comrade of mine
Must rattle his glass, and in chorus combine,
Over these dregs of wine.

In Broken Images

by Robert Graves

He is quick, thinking in clear images;
I am slow, thinking in broken images.

He becomes dull, trusting to his clear images;
I become sharp, mistrusting my broken images.

Trusting his images, he assumes their relevance;
Mistrusting my images, I question their relevance.

Assuming their relevance, he assumes the fact;

If

by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream- -and not make dreams your master;

Sonnet 129: Th' Expense Of Spirit In A Waste Of Shame

by William Shakespeare

Th' expense of spirit in a waste of shame
Is lust in action; and, till action, lust
Is perjured, murderous, bloody full of blame,
Savage, extreme, rude, cruel, not to trust,
Enjoyed no sooner but despisèd straight,
Past reason hunted, and no sooner had
Past reason hated as a swallowed bait
On purpose laid to make the taker mad.
Mad in pursuit, and in possession so;
Had, having, and in quest to have, extreme;

Please tell me

by Aldo Kraas

Please tell me
That I can put my trust in your love
God
Because
I know that your love exist
But
I just don't know if I can put my trust in your love
Please tell me
That I can built my trust in you
I want to do that

When trust no longer trusts

by Mario Odekerken

Trust once stood,firm and tall,
a quiet tower,shielding all.
But cracks appeared, unseen unheard,
betrayal whispered its quiet word.

What is a bond,if fragile,weak,
a promise broken when none speak?
The hands that held now hesitate,
once open paths close their gates.

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.

38. Desires Have Tired

by Kea Campbell

We desire compensation because the world lacks the Lord's love.
Humans are designed to love unconditionally,
But the world has put a condition on everything.
Purpose isn’t to be fulfilled; it’s to be pursued.
Too often, we ask God to take the wheel,
But little do we realize, that God already paved the roads for us to travel.

29. Ruiner

by Kea Campbell

What's your deal with patterns of old?
Have you not learned anything from what you’ve been told?

We compensate happiness for assets and money.
Outcomes synonymous with the feelings we get when we're lonely.

You told me to trust you and look where that got me,
Empty and forsaken, full of bitter, full of hopelessness and rotted dreams.
