Armageddon of Emotion

By Darren Carter

This book of poetry is about the feelings that govern our hearts and minds.

Spiritual love
The bridge that takes us to a closer union with God
The battle between our strength and weakness of faith
The beauty of love
The living heartbeat of romance
The darker side of emotion
That follow us through our lives like a shadow
And the battle between the darkness and the light

Darren Carter

Born near Manchester UK I attended Upholland boarding school. From there I went into further education at Liverpool John Moores University studying fine art and art history. The journey for poetry didn’t end there. Having studied the Bible profusely for many years joining a monastery seemed inevitable and the right choice in life. It was studying & singing the Psalms that gave birth to a passion of writing poetry. I have now been writing ever since, each day and every day.

Nailed to the Tree

The Man of Sorrows

The river of tears will never run dry.

He cries within himself

Silent waters run deep

The women of Jerusalem weep.

The silence of the wilderness in his heart

His voice of his mouth is the light.

He suffers man’s torture and pain

He hungers for His rest

So He can rise again.

The love of the few

They knew

He was the Lamb to the Slaughter

No one gave Him any water.

No place to lay His head

No place to pray.

The Last Supper

The breaking of bread

Shared with remembrance

With those of little faith.

King of Wisdom

On the mountain of his God

Solomon asked for Wisdom.

God granted

And gave him a Kingdom.

A Queen from another land

She was the Queen of Sheba.

A Queen sent by a desert Pharaoh

To be his deceiver.

Solomon saw her great beauty.

She saw the wonder of his Wisdom

Within his kingly duty.

To cut a baby in two.

To bring forth the truth.

From the death of an innocent.

The voice of love

Proved her innocence.

The child born from their sin

On God’s holy mountain.

She made a holy bargain

To leave the Land of Israel

And change to His way

As Solomon’s God

Was the God, Yahweh.

God returned his kingdom to Solomon.
