Irina Kocsis Poetry

Dmitry's Poem

Vanity

The way man

Would walk this land

And toward his dream

Stretch out his hand

With both his eyes

Fixed on the prize

He learns the trade

He sells he buys

Still emptiness

Is just a sign

That he has passed

The finish line

All his success

Brought him no gain

Just one big mess

And all in vain

Another tries

To fill his hunger

With earthly pleasures

Without number

He builds his world

And satisfies

The voice of lust

Which whispers lies

But if he’d stop

He’d realize

Uncomprehendible

Is his hunger’s size

Then others try

To soothe their soul

And sell it for

Some rock-n-roll

Some go to sail

The great blue sea

All in search

Of their destiny

Through a ship wreck

They will find

They cannot fill

The void inside

This world is empty

This world is cursed

And all its pleasures

Are perverse

So all of you

Who blindly try

To gain your soul

Shall surely die

Who’s soul is crippled

Who’s heart is blind

All those in search

Of peace of mind

A God sized void

Is in us all

And only God

Can fill your soul

Love Undeserved

There are things beyond my reason

When it comes to you

Your mercy I do not deserve

And your love so true

You did not let me die

In sins that I betrayed you for

You just stood and gently knocked

When from You I closed my door

When darkness had surrounded me

When I could no longer stand

You did not judge or cast me out

But tenderly held out your hand

Unconditional Love

A love without measure

One that forgives all

More valuable than any treasure

To Him is my poor soul

He heard the screams

Throughout the crowd

That had him crucified

And yet while dying innocent

Their sin He justified

Forgive them father

They don’t know

With His last breath He said

While the crowd

Mocked Him below

All mercy in them dead

To Him alone I want to give

My mind, my heart, my soul

For Him my life I want to live

Who’s love is unconditional

Sympathy

I knew not quite what to do

When I saw a heart all torn

I wanted to mend all its wounds

But all that I could do was mourn

I saw the pain in her eyes

But could not find a thing to say

And with the burden on my heart

I slowly turned and walked away

Her tears of sorrow and bitter pain

Now flood my memory

My heart cries out to you dear Lord

For You alone can set her free

Take oh God her heavy heart

And do for her what I can’t do

Shine light into her broken life

And in Your arms carry her through

Cruel Game

There are times when no words can be found

To comfort a shattered heart’s cry

When darkness blocks out all the light

Causing all dreams to die

When happiness is just a memory

From a clouded past

When hope is just an empty word

Something once there that couldn’t last

When something you once held so dear

Turns and stabs you in the heart

When future is no longer clear

And present is tearing your world apart

A time when you’re afraid to trust

Someone who calls himself a friend

When all your dreams have turned to dust

And there’s nothing left to defend

When the word love is like salt on a wound

Causing you to scream inside

A cruel game someone had played

Taking you for a painful ride

Once a Child

A forgiving heart

Seeing everyone as his friends

A pure open mind

Unable to tell when someone pretends

An innocent ear

That believes all it hears

Eyes full of trust

Smiling so soon after tears

He does not know

What it means to despise

Nor that this world

Is filled with so many lies

Oh sweet child

It's painful to see

What many like you

Have grown up to be

For God, who

commanded

the light to shine

out of darkness,

hath shined in

our hearts, to give

the light of the

knowledge of the

glory of God in the

face of Jesus Christ.

2 Corinthians 4:6

In the beginning

was the Word,

and the Word

was with God,
