Affecting Poems | Examples

Your Actions, Their Scars

Don't play the victim, don't wear the frown
You're the one causing harm, spinning others down
Bullying, harassing, spreading fear and pain
You're the problem, not the one to claim
Don't shift the blame, don't point the finger high
You're the one acting out, passing by
Think before you speak, think before you act
Your words and actions leave a lasting fact
You're bringing tears to eyes, and pain to the heart
Affecting minds and souls, tearing them apart
Your actions have consequences, that's what you must see
Is hurting others worth it? Is it worth your destiny?
Learn a lesson now, before it's too late
Think before you act, don't perpetuate the hate
Be kind, be compassionate, be understanding too
For the hurt you're causing, is it really worth it to you?

Premium MemberThe Falling Out

The Falling Out

I find the ceiling fan
quite interesting – a whirling
meditation; -- blades
whiz! – air cooling unseen
yet felt

apparently
all affecting not overtly visible

how one’s heart reacts to currents

oblivious to detached others -- 

when we had our falling out
a great storm rocked worlds
no mention by the local meteorologist
nor cosmologist
seismologist
or an especial priest -- 

What’s one more or less, our universe~

to the greater emotional theme?

Bound to Sound

Such a sensitive soothing sound, 
As the words float around, 
My thoughts are bound, 
To what I've found, 
A profound state of bliss, 
As I witness it all unfold, 
Uncovering the gold in silence, 
The power in presence, 
As my essence flows through reality, 
Affecting all I see, 
Knowing it's a reflection of me, 
A river of energy,
Flowing through entities, 
Words creating realities, 
Bound by gravity, 
It's s everything you see, 
A symphony of sound,
Always floating around, 
Creating this world I found.

Between Rice Field And Garbage

Sometimes, people are missing some dignity here
Of being good and unclean is two different thing
Have we lost some honor to become dishonor then
Can we sometimes be good men than being barbaric
Two days ago when I woke up, nice scenario here
I saw the scenery of rice field, lush and green
Today, I woke up and saw the scenery of garbage
It feels like a dream, but it's real to appraise
Between rice field and garbage affecting our life
It's unfair to good people for one act of vagrancy
Let everyone act according to the precept of law
Let government execute and solve this accordingly.

GO AWAY

I feel terrible everyday,
It's affecting what I say,
And it won't go away.
I just want to be happy,
But my situation is crappy,
Slap full of issues,
I can't afford tissues.
I misuse this body,
Stress becoming a hobby,
A habit I wish I could quit,
I'm killing my spirit,
Or I sold it for money.
Their dollar earns me a penny,
While they have plenty,
I can't afford any,
Taxes devour hourly,
Every hour misery,
A number in the company.
Maybe it just ran from me,
Feeling terrible constantly,
Instantly ruining my day,
Thoughts Get in my way,
Awful things I start to say,
I wish it would go away,
So I could have some energy,
Release me from poverty,
I AM not their property,
This opportunity is mine,
I should at least feel fine,
For GOD's SAKE!!,
I AM DIVINE!

Land Of The Pearl Of The Orient

Someone has said that every generation 
Has its golden lipstick era 
Philippines is not like that 
It's always beautiful and stunning
A special beauty for all ages
Glittering golden beaches
Somewhere in every island corner 
Of thousands islets in the Philippines 
More so its unique lineage genealogy
From the primitives to the occupants
Conglomerating all races into one
Making the brown race formidable
A diasphora race around the globe
Sharing joy, talents and services
The culture, the food, the hospitality
Affecting the leaven bread of the world
I invite the people of the world to visit us
What the Philippines can offer to all races
Come, borrow the wind to fly 
To the magical land that shines 
As white as the pearl of the orient seas.

The Rope Broke

The Rope Broke
By: Aundrea Methvin


Standing in the pouring rain
His hood pulled up, the warmth barely affecting him 
As his sorrow engulfs him
Tears streak down his cheeks 
He holds a single rose 
Two centuries have passed and still he mourns
They had battled, hell, he still bore the scar from the freshly forged heated sword
Yet he loved her … still loved her

Even if the only proof of her was this stone carved with 1666 and the word Hung 
She had been condemned, and he had been at sea
His foolish mind had been yearning for gold, yet his heart had been given to the blacksmith’s daughter
Now he weeps for what could have been
Yet in the wind he smells the scent of Sweet Clover and Hawthorn
His heart skips a beat as he desperately looks around
Then he sees a shadow move just within the ruins of the forgotten cemetery
She stands and smiles … What did you think that I wouldn’t wait for your return?
He drops to his knees, scared to move, scared to blink 
Surely this vision with her hair in the wind was a break in his mind 
Her hand caresses his cheek as she leans in and whispers “The rope broke.”

Bluebirds

A bluebird comes flying by,

Its cry fills the sky.

A high pitch lullaby,

Playing in its prize.

Not held within lies,

Watching as time flies.

Not caring if it dies,

Fear left it's eyes.

Just as it is,

It tries.

Nature always supplies

It doesn't wear a disguise,

Or worry of its demise,

Until one day,

SURPRISE!!

Awaken,

Arise,

Claim the true prize.

Re energize,

See your true size,

And realize,

You're eternal and free.

In charge of your own Galaxy.

Embrace your creativity,

Come take this trip with me.

Soon you'll see,

Loving unconditionally,

Connecting Universally,

Allows us to be,

Floating freely,

Through possibility.

Limitlessly,

Affecting reality,

Positively,

Bringing us in to unity.

The way it used to be,

Free from our disguise,

And together we watch,

As the bluebird flies,

Enjoying our prize.

Does Confidence Look Good On Me

A Reflection stares back at me,

looking into the mirror,

Satisfied with what I see.

The One I grew to be,

This loving entity,

In a confused society.

Living creatively,

Subjectively,

Searching for me.

Changing this reality,

To reflect what I see,

As I strive to be free.

The highest version of me,

Chivalry and morality,

Honesty my best Quality.

Energy running rampantly,

Serving our Society,

Rushing quietly.

A rising of integrity,

integrates politely,

Showing a new way to be.

Perceptions of purity,

Moving through many,

It's affecting Humanity.

A reflection I see,

Staring back at me,

Our race in unity.

Embracing our beauty,

Reacting differently,

Rising confidently.

Living life intensely,

Enjoying it immensely,

And YOU are the Key.

So here I will be,

Waiting patiently,

A reflection proud to BE.

Xchanging Handz

Unbalanced Entities,

Happy in Their fallacies,

Are Co Creating Reality.

Patterns of Violence,

And complacency,

Run rampantly,

Through Society.

Being catered,

By The Agency,

Directing You and Me,

Dictating our Rights To Be.

Famine and War Plague our Soul Family,

And The Rich are asking for your Charity,

The Classes creating Poverty,

A pointless Economy.

Hypnotizing It's prey,

Guiding the way.

Hiding away.

It's there everyday.

For some it collects dust,

To others It's a must,

All or Bust.

If I could just,

Change the perspective,

Of the collective.

Let's change the Objective,

Subjectively,

Understand It's energy.

From Entity to Entity,

Reflectively,

Respectively.

Flowing repeatedly,

Carrying our energy.

Negatively or positive,

The cycle is a must.

If it's collecting dust,

It's affecting us.

Just let it move freely,

It could just feed the Needy.

Sea Of Connectivity

An invisible Sea,

Sends ripples through Eternity.

Affecting all humanity.

Waves of Energy,

Emitting from Everybody.

One started with me.

It was easy,

I give it freely.

It doesn't cost any money.

It's Love Unconditionally,

Sent Intentionally,

Consciously.

Just so you could see,

The capability,

Of our capacity,

To Spiritually,

Heal Society,

When done in Unity.

These letters of Electricity,

My pebbles to the sea,

Of Connectivity.

I get all tingly,

Knowing we,

Belong to the same Tree.

We all hold the key,

It can't be done separately.

Let's change Reality.

Who would you truly be,

If you weren't looking for money.

Drop your pebbles to the Sea,

Share your loving energy,

With Everybody,

Consciously,

Intentionally,

Let's Explore Divinity.

Creating Reality


Thoughts continually,

Travel the space between.

Affecting reality,

Although it goes unseen.

Rivers flowing freely,

Their power unforseen.

Pushing forcefully,

Guiding this machine.

Defining what you see,

Creating the scene.

Starting as a baby,

It's bed free and clean.

Trickling slowly,

Across a blank screen.

Before we think clearly,

We created this ravine.

Walls so high and rocky,

A pool of thoughts convene.

Now choosing carefully,

What does it all mean?

Pools filling rapidly,

Flowing in routine.

Growing into a sea,

Molding this figurine,

Creating its' Reality.
