Accommodate Poems

Premium MemberPewterspear Track in Yellow: A Sonnet of Sorts

The wind rose early with the busying dawn,
And, rushing into the long avenue of beech -
Laid down years ago to accommodate labouring feet,
Began to scatter over neatly cut verge and lawns
With its own inimitable unruly gust, blow and fuss...
Within a cascading maelstrom of vivid bright yellowness.

Against strong trunks, held firm by steadfast roots,
Groans from creaking boughs as they upwardly heaved
Upon frantically thrashing branches showering 
                               rusted, golden leaves;
Carpeting the rough stones below my trampling boots.
A mad kaleidoscope of leaping, swirling, skipping 
                                             colour
Where, as a child, I had once rediscovered...

Two green sandstone gate pillars sat well back
That ushered me under this arched, canopied track.

Premium MemberI Could Explore Forever

Precious, pretty, fleeting.
Flitting butterfly, lifting
wings, too heavy.

One, two, three…
One, two, three…
the flower’s delighted
to be explored.

Colors, themselves,
adored or unnoticed.

Just that one spot, spotting
the prettiness in the pot;
the stems stand tall;
lantanas, an unsung song.

Silence in the flapping.
How can the breeze accommodate,
provide a zephyr, a zip, a zest,
unrest?

My eyes rest upon loveliness -
this fixed point; is the universe
such things - I could explore
forever, one iota at a time.

Premium MemberTruth about Me

I was never eager to accommodate others or to please
I am also not one to stand around, shooting the breeze
I do not mind sleeping with puppy dogs and fleas
But I have no use for humans, for they bully and tease.

Extraordinary Love

One person
Only one heart
A heart can only hold one person
Loving a person is ordinary
It's a normal human feeling
Someone I know one person
Having one heart like the sea
He can accommodate all people of the world
He heals the sick, raise the dead
He turn water to wine, walk on seas
He multiply two fishes and five loaves
He preach repentance and good tidings
He forgives those who made sins
He carry the cross and died for you and me
His life is ordinary turn extraordinary
He become a history, a living gospel for us today.

Sentiments

Was I part of your twisted fantasy?
Igniting emotions that you could never reciprocate?
The audacity. 
Leaving over the slightest discomfort!
It was silly of Me, 
to mistake all your red flags for fixable nuances.
Bending over backward to accommodate you,
I wish I had enough rage to hate you,
I can't seem to reach that degree.
All I have are questions, that only I seem to answer,
Letting go is a serendipitous process, 
I am somehow finding comfort in the peace I have found.

Premium MemberNacpan Beach

On Nacpan Beach my dreams take flight 
No past to haunt and no wrongs to right 

Turquoise waves hum songs of endless peace 
My soul drifts and all memories cease 

While on holiday the skies are wide
Worries fade with the changing tide

Grains of cream-colored sand under salty air
Accommodate each blissful step without a care

Endless rows of coconut trees oversee granularity 
The scent of the ocean brings unburdened clarity

As the sun dips low a variety of colors ignite
Over a golden canvas of tranquil delight 

Lazily napping on a hammock between palm trees
Sleepiness whisks me away under the whispering breeze

Love Story


I was comfortable with our Verbal discourse, at first Reluctantly
Sapiosexual Being, Intellect your speech, I yearned for more
The version of you I placed in my mind, Foolishly
To accommodate my infatuation 
I ultimately refused to see, Blindly 
I walked to the edge of the cliff with blurred vision
Already emotionally strained, now wounded, Bitterly
And don't know how to feel or how to end the pain
that I inflicted, on myself, Inconsistently
I was wrong, but I will heal
Obligated to Self to be Strong, Mentally
Self Inflicted Torment
Wondering how to escape my Mind, Consciously
Blaming my Sensitivity 
Prosecuting My emotions, Emotionally
Being Loved is minimal
I valued the version I created of you, Inaccurately
But now I see, Clearly!
Your Love lacked Support, I was not your Priority
Lesson Learnt! Bridges Burnt!
That Version of Me that Needed the Self Created Version of You
Has Evolved, Balanced on a Scale with a Feather, Peace Profound, Thankfully!

What Is There For Love

Love transcends culture
       accept opposition
       reflects the gray parts 
       and showcase the light parts
       knows no boundaries
       listen advice
       and bow to discipline
       look on the far ahead
       and shun for looking back mistakes
       never proud on being in the limelight
       but stay on the shade light.
Love eyes look always of what is beautiful
       and shut mouth of what is degradation.
Love hands accommodate even the whole world
       compassionate even to the unlovable.
What is there on Earth
That is not succumbed by love
Love doesn't die, always live
If all has love, this worlds is a paradise.

Premium MemberHow -WE- Won The West

Created this for a blog, but I am unncertain as there's an absence of accountabilty that would assure me of the values that I've delineated, has been ascertained.

I've effected a furtherance exposing other pertinent facts that solidfy this word: Equivocal, having a basic compound valued word, thusly, have more than one meaning.

That became the manna from Heaven, taught to us by those missionaries being one of those subclasses, became a breather/a cutting edge, for the Hawaiian language to accommodate the variable classes besides those missionaries.

Their were whalers who were infamous users of their catch-phrases, Chinese broken-English, a nine-year-old-English, and it goes on. 

"How do you say , Hello"--Aloha, "Goodbye"--Aloha, "I love you"--Aloha, "To that guy"--Aloha, "And that girl"--Aloha, "So their sex don't matter"--Oh sex, much Aloha. 

Levity, but it does point a true beneficial factor. Chaos needed a directive, simplify matters by conquering their language and dividing it. This was part of my theoretical thesis for my psychology class exam at the Uni.

Premium Membertrickle

whirl …

where waters mingle -
the inky black that pulls down
swallows … enfolds …
the ballet breaks -
sun’s golden coins a-dancing,
birthing pixies to the brine
to draw the gaze with dazzled magic …
the glassy smooth that
dopplegangs a billowy azure and a
quivery, star-daubed vault …
the ruffled swells -
turning masts to pendulum poets,
ticking time as the hulls roll …
and rock … and roll …
and the foaming rage -
surf that breaks reefs to ruin
and howls at Calypso,
the salty sirens screaming at
her for just a taste of
jagged justice …
the seas roar and ebb and
sunder suns to ache
the rills run to the low to find them
and feed the confluences
water weaves and wells and works to
be the All of life -
the precious matter, miraculous
the shaper and sater and savior of
everything that actuates
yet …
the oceans, and washes, wild
and weeping heavens
in all their splendor and abundance
can not hope to accommodate
the love, sorrow, spirit, or
significance 
of one single, solitary
child’s …

tear.

Premium MemberAfter the Party on Tropical Island

Cutting the Deck

Star filled sky
Alive, energy, vibrating night
Enriching sound of the waves
Feeling the wind on a voyage to another world
Listening to the hottest DJs spinning
Top dynamics of music
I strolled up to deck for a little dancing
Hoping for a little love
Showing off dexterous, super-spreader swing moves
Picking a few Dark and Stormy at the bar
Happy with the harmony
Feeling the rhythm like prince charming 
Wanting to accommodate one 
Connect on the dance floor
Midst a group of attractive, 
Very desirable, crazy ladies
Like a beast killing the tempo moves 
Ladies dissipated 
Disappointed
          Ignored  
Out of breath with sweat streaming down my face
Nimble-fingered, clumsy   
          Knocked out 
Flew over the deck rail into the cold
Woke up on a tropical island
Perplexed, no memory decided to stay

Premium MemberShape Shifting Soul

“here I am in human form

but it was not always quite so

earth is not the only planet I’ve been to

through past life regressions I definitely know"



             Soul runs in a cycle continuous,
             termed as life,  shifting shape or appearance.
             Energy transforming ! Oblivious.
             Soul entwined with body shows performance .

             Soul goes through repeated incarnation
             shifting shapes and changing places of birth.
             Earth is not the only destination.
             There are other options for home or hearth.

              Multi Universes accommodate.
              As you sow, so may you reap : That is true.
              Scope to incarnate or reincarnate,
              with past performances to continue.
    
               After demise, soul to leave the body
               and for the next journey being ready.

All these things I could do

I wish I could scrumerge your  vista
hurt your emotional calibre
pique your errant sojourn
Run counter to your plans
Turn off your sunshine tap
Un mistletoe your golden spleen
accommodate you in a cave
the sole occupant
adamantly theoretical unconversationalist
to echo alone

Above and Below


In The  Formless Womb of Mind
Thoughts  Are Conceived
Admitted by Water
Nourished and Fed
Contraction to Accommodate Expansion
Laboriously Giving Birth to Recycled New Born Ideas
or Dormant Dreams on Wings
Received by Water
Innocence Groomed With Love and Care
Above and Below.

Frequency Holders 
This phrase was first coined by Eckhart Tolle

Holding space with you in a seemingly fashion 
I allow you to manifest your own reality 
I dip inside your energy and find you, " talking"  
like a babbling child, dying to be heard...
You bounce off me like you were a rubber ball 
all I get is elastic energy ...
Accommodate, house and receive me as yours 
for inside me there are many holding rooms
Go through me, air yourself through the window
of my soul, allow our souls to touch 
hold space with me .... no words*
