Poems about love, loss, God, finding/losing yourself and everything in between. These poems have saved me from so much and I hope you they do the same for you. They are so much more than words on a page, I’m glad you’re here & whether you’re in pain, healing, in love or in between I pray these words move you and stay with you.
This poem has no resolution. No happy ending, no philosophical summaries, no ted talks.. we just feeling what we feel and that's that
“Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering” Isaiah 53:4. One thing for certain he will carry your cross, one thing for certain Christ will always carry the burden for you. My beloved, I could lasso the sun and hand it to you, I could rearrange the stars to spell out your name but I could never love you how God loves you. As we close off the year, let's thank Christ for taking our pain.
I have spent a good chunk of this year wollowing, and wilting. I was so stuck in the past, keeping tally of people who have hurt me. Refusing to move from that space and trusting Christ, I didn't trust him as my shepherd. So I remained in the same spot, turning into a pillar of salt. This new year may we build the muscle of faith, that what God has in store surpasses anything my simple mind could conceive.
“But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.”Romans 8:25If you're waiting for your Love just take a breath and be patient. Do not awaken love until the time is right, when Love comes it will be in Gods divine and perfect timing, it will be effortless, it wont bring confusion, it wont bring hurt. Love never fails, hold onto that hope of finding it
One thing is that they always come back. But we stand firm in our decision, we trust that God only has better in store for us. Most importantly we NEVER go back to things God has removed us from.
I think its time we learnt how to choose people who see love the same way as us. Teach your feet to leave when love isn't reciprocated.
Learning curves require learning a new skill, who would have thought that skill is to simply exist in Gods peace. Its so easy to use it as a novelty, something we post on our stories and not a conscious decision we make with every breath.
We search endlessly for love, unfortunately it has to be the one that finds us. The moment we stop looking there she is popping up out of nowhere.
Today we unwrap what it means to thirst for God while your soul is burdened. In Psalms42 King David says to “My tears have been my food day and night” he goes on to paint this picture of agony and being downcast. But he encloses it with the fact that he will continue to put his hope in God. That in our sadness it is when we are thirsty for God. So this poem is all about yearning for God in the midst of our pain.
How does one learn how to exist within peace, when all you've known is destruction. At some point we have to realise that we've operating through trauma; its time to deconstruct that and learn how to live a life that isnt constanly on fire.
One of a million letters and prayers I write to God, it's okay to sometimes lose our way. But Christ will always find us and we go back, you are the one sheep he left the hundreds for. Thank you for your support once again
I thought I had shared this poem, I hope it's not 8 months too late. I pray it reaches the ears that need it the most. Thank you to your support you make my dreams possible
Today we learn how to let go of expired versions of ourselves, we are stronger, and we love ourselves a whole lot more.
Love is beautiful, amidst all the pain keep pursuing it. It will find you, and when it does hold on tight.
Honestly the hardest part is leaving, understanding when your love is no longer needed is your biggest strength.
This poem is for “the one who got away” or those of us in love or for those of us who envision a love like this and cling onto the hope of finding it one day.
Can we reach a point where we begin to unlove someone.?
This poem is for when life is lifing. When you can't see a way out of your pain, days that are heavy. This poem is for those of us who keep fighting.
This is for those looking for love and those who have found it. A reminder that it's okay to dream of the day you find love, or dream about a time you had it. Whether the love is past, present or future; the story remains just as beautiful
Is there a bullet proof way to get over someone ? Seems the harder we try the harder they stick, the harder it is to remove them.
Letting go is definitely the hard part. Removing yourself from toxic cycles and learning how to stop going back where we aren't wanted. This poem is for those of us who need to learn how to start choosing ourselves
One of my many letters to God. This poem is for those of us who need a reminder that God is listening, that our tears are not falling on deaf ears. That when we have no strength he can bare the weight.
Sweet reminder that we have to be honest and true with ourselves when someone's absence is more peaceful than their presence. The love may remain but we are better apart than together.
In our lives we're always healing from something, there is always some kind of loss going on in our lives. But eventually we push through we get through it
Strength can be depleting. We can run out and tap out, reach a point where strength isn't what carries us but what pulls us down. This poem is for those of us who have no strength left who need a break.
A sweet letter for the future love of your life. Takes a while to meet them but the wait is worth it.
This is poem that explores the fears of loving someone, it takes so much to open ourselves up and stop running.

This isn't a giddy “you make me feel like walking on sunshine” kinda feeling. It's a “my mind is scrambled and this relationship confuses me” kind of feeling. Background music: Drake “From time” Piano cover by Legend music on YouTube
Life works in strange cycles, one moment we are absolutely in love and share every second of our lives together the next we haven't spoken in ages and are merely spectators in each others lives
This poem is honestly just a sweet reminder that we all need love and never deprive yourself of such a beautiful thing. For video version go to my youtube channel "Reneilwe Moeng" https://youtu.be/__FvHoMezfs
