My Psalm 23: A Poem

by tiffanyPoetry December 29, 2020December 8, 2020No Comments

In a Bible study I’m part of we practice putting scripture in our own words in order to better understand what the Bible says. I love doing this and once did it with Psalm 23. Here is my version of Psalm 23.

Lord, You are my leader and guide.
I will follow you.
You lead me to abudance in life 
and refreshment for my soul.
You restore my soul, which You created. 
You lead me on the path of what's right and good.
I may walk through scarry and dark times,
yet I don't have to fear anything.
You are with me.
You will protect me and that comforts me.
You prepare a wonderfull feast for me
and even though my enemies may be around
who cares?
You bless me and call me your own.
I overflow with Your blessings and love.
As I follow You Your goodness and Your mercy follow me.
Forever Your love will be with me
and I will love and live with You,
Forever.

Write Up

This is a simple and small square painting I did in 1 session early in 2020. The background has gold paint mixed in with a lighter tan paint.

This painting itself is focused on the idea of romance and marriage. The two different halves are different but fit together. They both blend into the other and of course, the heart itself represents love. When 2 people or in this case 2 colors join together they can create something more dynamic than if they were alone.

Another thing I found interested while painting this painting is that I noticed if these 2 parts of the heart were alone they would be tear shaped. However, together they are the symbol for love. It helps bring out the fact that pure love relieves the tears.

The Sea: A Throwback Post

by tiffanyPoetry, recorded December 10, 2020December 1, 2020No Comments

This is a throwback post to an older piece of poetry for me, called The Sea. I originally wrote this in college. It was for a class that I took I believe in 2007. I then edited in 2013 and again in 2016 for both editions of my first poetry book, Growing Poems.

In Feburary 2019 when I wanted to get more serious about promoting my writing and art I recorded the poem as a poetry reading. I never posted that reading here, so in my efforts to make sure everything I do is on this site I am sharing it with you today.

I do hope you enjoy it and let me know what you think.

In Times: A Poem

by tiffanyPoetry, Poetry Portfolio December 8, 2020January 5, 2021No Comments

In times of sorrow
hold me near.
In times of joy
show me you care.
In times of worry 
protect me from my fear.
In times of peace
help me stay aware.
In all times, in every way
show me your love, my dear.

Dreams Fighting Reality (poetry reading): A Throwback Post

by tiffanyPoetry, recorded December 3, 2020October 23, 2020No Comments

Dreams Fighting Reality is a poem I wrote a while ago. I recorded it as a poetry reading back in 2014.

Dreams Fighting Reality

My dreams danced away together
from my very own reality.
Like ballerinas trapped within my mind
They danced away 
so I could not find the love I wanted;
The love I wished was mine.
Yes, my dreams slowly danced away
when reality told me
he was here to stay
But he seems to have strayed
because here comes my dreams
on this new day.
My dreams once again dance near by
as I force my reality to be mine.
Because this fight for what is right,
what is fair and what must be
has left a hole deep inside of me
so I fight to keep my dreams
and I fight to change my reality

Changing To A Dance: A Poem

by tiffanyPoetry December 1, 2020November 25, 2020No Comments

I'm changing this fight
into a dancce.
I will not war
not against my own life.
Instead the trumpets
will be the rhythm of my feet.
Turn the battle cries 
into songs of praise.
This will be a new day,
one with no more fighting
 not against my own life.
I'll allow the ebs and flows
to direct my dance,
know it's God's will.
I will follow.
I will go.
He leads, I follow,
without a fight,
just a dance.

Thank You To Those Who Bought To Love

by tiffanyLife, To Love Updates November 28, 2020October 16, 2020No Comments

I’m so thankful for those who support my book. I know that not everyone has sent me pictures of them reading their copy. This is just a sample of the wonderful people who thought my book was worth their money.

I’m so grateful and happy that I have their love and support. I feel so accomplished and thrilled when someone mentions that they’re reading my book or like a certain section in it. My heart does a mini happy dance.

This was such a long process filled with life changes and editing struggles. Honestly, I didn’t know what I was getting myself into when I started this. I didn’t even know what the book would be by the end. The only thing I knew was I had to write it. That is one reason why it thrills me so much when I hear people are enjoying what I wrote.

Again thank you all who have bought and/ or read my book. It brings a smile to my face.

Side note: If you want to purchase “To Love” you can. It’s on amazon.

Count The Rhymes

by tiffanyPoetry, Uncategorized November 17, 2020November 13, 2020No Comments

One, Two, Three, Four
Where is the open door?
Is there an opportunity for me?
Am I walking closer to you?
Are all the right things done?

Four, Three, Two, One
The race will be won.
As I draw close to you my spirit flew
each opportunity will set me free
to follow the one I adore.

Life Is (A Poem)

by tiffanyPoetry November 10, 2020September 8, 2020No Comments

Life is a dance,
swirling and twirling
moving all around.

Life is a journey, 
learning and growing
moving all around.

Life is a battle,
striving and fighting
moving all around.

Life is always changing 
as we dane on journey on
fighting our battles as we stand our grounds.
