I write poetry quite frequently, though this past year it hasn't been so much. I wish I did more, but I feel like I've already wrote so much. It's weird. Anyway, I have over 200 and some poems, on my website: http://www.geocities.com/bluedaisy176

I write Christian poetry and publish it on my blog. Here is my favorite that I have written so far:
Sacrament
Two become one with heartfelt vows;
Two souls unite to share one life.
They make as one a blessed home
In the eyes of God, as man and wife.
Two paths become one destiny;
Two sweet longings now fulfilled.
The infant lies in their embrace;
A new born life that God has willed.
Man gives himself as sacrifice
As years go by and children thrive.
She makes for all a gracious home
Favored by the One they love.
A treasure found in one beloved;
The wedding song is sung again.
Two are one as they renew
This covenant of God and men.

oh yes i like to write poetry
Never Have I Fallen
Your lips speak soft sweetness
Your touch a cool caress
I am lost in your magic
My heart beats within your chest
I think of you each morning
And dream of you each night
I think of your arms being around me
And cannot express my delight
Never have I fallen
But I am quickly on my way
You hold a heart in your hands
That has never before been given away

Perhaps you want a moment for reflection
Or a glimpse of someone's struggles with perfection.
Even greyhounds need a clear, still light
To bring them to the precipice of night.
Rest here, then, where joys and sorrows blend;
Yearning needs no goal and has no end.
Be like a bell, and let me be your tongue:
Your thoughts will toll when I've your passions rung.
Nor can I know what words will strike your ears:
In poems one's life transfigures what one hears.
Clear words contain a silence still as glass,
Horizons as remote as distant brass,
Old meanings darting luminous in pools
Like light caught in the blaze of well-cut jewels.
All this exists like sound without a bell;
So be its instrument, and listen well.
Give my poems the courtesy of space;
Often they need room to show their grace.
Reason works quite wonderfully by day;
Darkness must be grasped another way.
On you the moon, with muted, mirrored beams,
Now casts its lace of memories and dreams.
