Achievable Poems | Examples

Happily discontent, that I am, that I be

Happily discontent, that I am, that I be

now  future
happy   discontent
achievable  out of reach
joie de vivre  bags of regrets
what I am now  what I could be
love the journey  are we there yet?
live in the present  dream of becoming
I'm truly self made  I'm reactionary, dependent
let it be, let it be, now  endless mindful reflection
I’m restless, but at peace  unable to sleep, daydream
I’m thankful for many things  when will this nightmare end?
nothing is perfect, fully satisfies  quest for perfection ruins the journey
life is an ever evolving process  hit or miss, sink or swim, stuns growth
a chest full of good things in life  a pile of things underachieved, undone
thankful for what I’ve got so far  I want more, but I'm burdened by failures
acceptance without complacency  resentful, jealous of what others have
accept that creativity makes mistakes  counting failures, clutters & confounds

The Blue Sea And The Field Of Greens

There are two contrasting things I see
Amazingly convey grace and beauty
That is the blue sea and the field of greens
These are two opposite mix feeling for me
The blue sea feels me danger but is necessary
For a source of living and adventure
The field of greens propose romantic chills
Meet variation of colors that meets the eyes
The field of greens gives peace abundance itself
Since its reachable and achievable per se
The blue sea is unpredictable but with a warning
The bravest is the winner who safely returned
The adventure of life is the crucial stage
While there's tranquility in the land base
No assurance of life is being safe
Though both gives a mix feeling of emotions
They are part and parcel of human life.

Reformed Losers

Every word I write
must be right -- 
written to the best
of my ability; my 
product of honest 
thinking

Not a word penned
while blinking

To be perfect, is to be true

To be flawless is truly to
be you.

Every hope and aspiration
should be contemplated
with invested determination

Without driving will
there is no achievable way

(make every gambit
a fully invested play)

All winners are reformed
losers.

The River

Meet me at the River of Hope,
where everything is achievable
simply by trusting in powers above.

Meet me at the Entrance of Forgiveness,
where we can let go of our wrongdoings
and embrace the bright side of our companionship.

Meet me at the River of Memory,
where we can reminisce about moments shared
and see for ourselves that our life has been beautiful with us.

If we cannot meet at any of these rivers,
at least meet me at the midpoint where our paths cross.

Writing and Reading

And I set off, 
on this journey of writing
It seems impossible but exciting
I am Imagining, who is going to be my victim
The one who will read my handwriting
Well, problem solved, thanks to typing

I cannot wait any longer
Nothing can contain this hunger
I have to start jotting them down
Looking at different subjects at dawn
There are a lot of untold stories,
but as I start to put pen to paper, they vanish

In these parts of the world,
reading is mostly to pass examinations
They would rather hear you say it than read
Only a few have value for reading
So who will I write for?
For now I will write for the diary

For the many reasons it is unattainable
are the same reasons it is achievable
It must be written for it to be read
I had learnt to draw patterns
before I could comprehend the meaning
Before writing becomes meaningful
I must embrace reading.

Thornbirds

Walking through a thick jungle
I never had a reason to smile
Thought life is full of grumble
With only thorns pricking every mile.

I walked in fear 
Prayed “O God I wish you were here.”
If someone could wipe those tears 
Tell me “ Fear not your future is not hazy but clear .”

When will this society accept me
Stop the abuse and respect me 
Recognize my talent ain’t disown me
Say not “you are stoic “ but embrace me

I am a daughter a sister a friend
I crave for a society where norms aren’t biased or opportunities won’t end.

Name it an illusion or my blinded vision
But when I stand in front of a mirror 
I see myself clad in an armour
With unwavering faith and achievable mission
A blessed world filled with love and laughter.

Ambitious Dreams

Dream the ambitious dreams of romantic young!
Their visions of life have just begun.
Encourage their future road.
Reassure their load,
reachable
rung.
Teachable,
achievable code,
in a continuous mode
to reap rewards of what they’ve begun.
Dream the ambitious dreams of romantic young!

A World Without War

Peace and unity sing in harmony, echoing worldwide,
When acts of humility replace revenge-infused pride,
When narrowness of mind, naked ambitions subside,
When nations of goodwill, stand together side-by-side.

No inconsolable tears, flooding grief in mothers’ eyes,
No gloomy dawns rise, in smoke of war on sunny skies,
Clamors of hungry, displaced souls, no longer agonize;
No more shattered dreams, buried alive, to eulogize.

Nothingness ceases to vacate sanctity of self-esteem,
Children now rejoice, reminiscing in Cinderella-dream,
Vying bliss of tranquil, endearments of amity redeem,
Discarding ill will, shrieking from yore of vicious regime.

Hiroshima, Nagasaki—echoes of sad, remorseful past,
Resonate horror and shock, from memories aghast;
A world without war, a wish too far, yet close to heart,
Achievable when covenants of life don’t keep us apart.

Dignity of humanity ranks supreme, as priorities change,
Nations engage in educational and cultural exchange,
Farms and factories hum, ensuring hunger is eliminated
As peace and unity toll, from hearts and minds elated.

Turquoise Sea Chimera

  
                            11/15/2023

       You are my midnight love chimera.
       Beneath a turquoise sea.
       We met innocently and affably.
       Giggling and smiling, so innocently.

       But…passion’s gates opened wide.
       And its aquatic , aqueous mouth…
       Swallowed us, whole and most divine.
       Our soul’s instantaneously intertwined!

        What entity, created such instant intimacy.
        An under the deep sea, exotic gratification.



      .Chimera~ something that exists as an aspiration…
       but is not achievable in this world at all.
       Of Greek etymology.~ a fire-breathing monster 
       that has a lion’s head, a goat’s body and the
       tail of a snake!

Autumnal Resolutions

                             9/28/2023

     

Did you keep your all your last year’s grand resolutions? 

Or put on a priestly robe, and give yourself absolution?

NYE, the biggest hoax night, as if we will ever reach perfection?

Why not cherish everyday,as an awesome,achievable selection?

A message,on this beautiful day of autumnal and colorful introspection.

Best live each day fully,our lives works of art, in humble gratification!

Daywalkers

‘Yellow day dreams 
are strong like day walkers.’

Manifested in the dark with closed eyes.But is that really where they flourish? Remembered with the smell of coffee it’s like a sign for a train with a new destination.Crossing a sort of imaginary line between illogical and possible you inhale again. Breathing in everything from your restless pillow.  Now the blurry concept begins to flesh itself out into the tangible. Achievable. Reachable. The vision with the light on is much more clear. Around the corner wins are closer now than they may have appeared.  

Gold Sun amplifies
a wish caught by stars at night;
Serotonin boost.

Baby Steps

When people talk about traveling to the past they worry about radically 
changing the present by doing something small.  But rarely do they think about doing something small, to radically change the future. 


Baby steps are important because they are much more achievable 
then giant mountains or far away stars that cannot be touched
Short term goals are comforting to an individual 
when the long term goal is still in progress, but out of reach 
A sprint runner at a short distance race
has more powerful glutes, calves and quads to propel them forward 
and gives them more time to build stamina, before the big marathon
Leave a tempting trail, activate cruise control, hold a hand 
Wear comfy shoes and just start walking 
When people think about the future, they think its already set 
but it can be interchangeable, with one single step ahead. 
Be progressive and advance onwards one baby step at a time 
sooner than later your future will align,  
and you will get there when, its your time to shine.

The Umbrella

the wind pops like a ball hitting a wall
boy of 3 years struggles to control his small,
                                            opened umbrella 
a turtle shell shape with turtle head and tail
its black/green lines, a turtle grid of folly

boy laughing beneath a dome of turtle armour
       tosseled by the wind
he holds the handle tightly even though no rain falls
his mother encourages its closure
to anchor meanderings that blow a lad astray

what makes a boy's balance manageable to hold?
achievable wants?
unwilted expectations?

a mother's ponder, will his shell grow with him?
what of the circle shaped by her embrace?

sometimes we don't know which way is up
sometimes we choose an arid shelter
sometimes coverings collapse
                      like many selves folded into one
                      under clouds of one's own making



Poem composed May 1, 2023

Come Clean

Come clean
even the wisest of us
at least once has made
wish to a star

even the most skeptical
has called to a god
when feeling lost
hopelessly adrift
from a path of truth
having strayed too far

even those surest of love
have felt a twitch of jealousy
doubted in one's own gleams,
too well knowing the attraction
of younger and seemingly
far brighter beams

even an acclaimed writer
has read other's marvelous verse
thinking better works inconceivable
no finer declarations achievable
and wondered
if poetry always a soaring soulful gift
or as much a spirit sinking curse

A Fisherman's Wish

In an isolated island where most people are fishermen, life was so hard.  One morning near the shore, a genie from a floating lamp appeared before a hundred fishermen and asked each one of them for a wish.  Everyone got his chance and had his wish.  Ninety-nine fishermen asked for money, clothes, boats, houses, jewelries and other material things.  For the one hundredth and last fisherman, he only asked for a tree -- a coconut tree.

Floating lamp, above the surface waves
Fishermen grump, under the water paves
Impossible dreams, in any way unreachable
Imagination streams, in every way achievable.
