Audacity Poems

Pains with no reprieve

You take joy in seeing my heart bleed,
Because of your avarice and greed.
The pains you caused come with no reprieve,
Yet you’ve the audacity to leave.

I invested every ounce in you,
Your ponderings control all I do.
My bitter cries you heedlessly sought,
Yet you’re blind to the hatred you brought.

How can your mind ever be at peace,
When the sadness you give does not cease?
You bury my joy far out of reach,
When your love is all I ever preach.

Away from you, joy will surely flee,
Though it seems arduous to foresee.
But so long as breath lives in your lungs,
Deep grief will lace the words on your tongue.

Greed

Greedy, bitter, jealous, and lustful women with free range
Unfortunately the masks are off; they will be treated estrange,

Impersonating many people with prideful alter ego capacity
Self absorbing made them all grin and behave with audacity,

The investigation warrants for a list of charges and sentences fairly
The tables have turned over abruptly loud and unceremoniously,

They never expected major setup setback or down spiral luck
Never reaching a feeling of remorse, now quacking like a duck,

Let this be a lesson for those control by that alter ego
That quick scheme thinking leads to a horrid prison expo.

Premium MemberBe Bold

your worrying will not change the outcome
so take a deep breath and another
renew your strength

prepare to deal with whatever happens
rebuild your bridge to the future
be bold be brave be strong

you've been through worse
and life did get better
you have nothing to fear

you are a survivor you are a fighter
and no thing or no one can crush you
dare rise to the challenge

The Audacity of God

In the Book of Genesis, the Creator existed in a void
Miracle after miracle, a heavenly drama of intrigue
Choosing to create flesh rather than an android
On the seventh day, He did not rest out of fatigue

Declaring that He would create humanity in His image
With tender hands, God shaped the clay to create him
The heavens marveled at the execution of his lineage
As wings shielded the eyes of Seraphim and Cherubim 

Adam disobeyed, and he experienced a spiritual decline
The Father heard and responded to the man's groan 
The Living Word made flesh in the guise of the Divine
Witnessed the holy birth of a prodigy in a shed alone

What of our souls if the Redeemer had not come
A holy envoy was sent to avert a crushing disaster
What audacity that he loved us and sent His Son!
This season is to recall an end to a reign of terror 

The infinite Creator oversees an ordained mission
Satanic spirits stayed silent, too impotent to interfere
At his crucifixion, they recalled his prophetic vision
Even unto death, his face retained a glorious veneer

Audacity of Hope

The Audacity of Hope

Day, fresh and fearless;
Night, a distant dream;
The sadness of noon,
gone.

The sun sheds radiance on a new moon,
Crowning the hills in beauty and gold.
In blissful awe, the mountains
Welcome the rains to the green.

Like dew, promiscuous fortunes,
Swallowed by the Yew.
A newborn, birthed with hope.

Desire, dare, seek.
Resign regrets, despise doubt.
Ponder, pause, pray.

Toil in the mines of knowledge,
Where courage silently labours
into victory.

Believe,
Watch the future fall
in line.

Her

she gave me courage constantly
supported me leaning on my side proudly
made me shine like the morning sun
I glow as a sunflower my heart filled with fun

Dum spiro, Spero to mean it all with positive 
for my perception is different, I have another perspective
compos mentis tells me about her
wild thoughts and the dazzling personality pattern

for luck is given from up above named as destiny
whatever it is named after it is topsy-turvy

out worldly blessed with patience and capability to understand
whenever my thoughts wander i find myself in the heart of the wood
seesaw, hide and seek, pendulum swinging mood

audacity, melody to my pains cure

frenzy feelings forever for her 
for she is free, clear, and pure as the sky
messing around that i really don't dare
wisdom like the owl, safe and sound when she fly
fly in the heart and settle there for its all the place she can own
the kingdom is hers, the princess eternity my consciousness is her crown

she's claustrophobic,
yet faces her fear head on
she goes spelunking.

Capacity For Audacity and Elasticity

Capacity For Audacity and Elasticity

We were trying to stretch the issue a bit
and must admit so it will fit.

Could be we came up with the capacity,
To be able to adulate all of the audacity;
When stretched,
Was Far fetched;
Evidently do encourage use of elasticity.

Premium MemberIf Audacity Could Make a Sound

if audacity
had sound
or could make sound
I would imagine
a shattering heartbreak

I cannot not tell
if it is little angels disguised as demons
or little demons disguised as angels
this is what I do know
and which is also all that I have always known

                                                     even after all the lies
                                                     and even after all the nights I cried

I hear, see, and feel you
it is all painstakingly clear


                                       
if audacity
had sound
or could make sound
I would imagine

Premium MemberThe Audacity

I want to write a poem about one person
- human being
Who?
I don't know
But it is someone I strive to be
Perfection- maybe
Am I going to ever get there?
I make mistakes along the way
What is that person like?
She is not selfish
Think of others first
Generous to a fault
Always giving and look for ways to give
Because she knows that
She would get it from the Lord
Believing in self
Sometimes too much in her
That she would believe 
If she thinks it is right
Then it is right
Is it a fault?
Who knows?
But it is usually turned out to be the case
What should I say?
Is this person me?
No 
Someone like me?
Yeah
I can't be that perfect
Though I tried to be
What who do I try to be?
Who knows?
Perfection my friend
That is what it does to you
What does it do to you?
Just perfect
Yeah
"Ask not have not"
I am paraphrasing
Didn't the Bible say that?
James 4:2
What other things did the Bible say?
I think you know
Apply it would you?
Now go to the point
Matthew 5:48
"You therefore must be perfect
as your Heavenly Father is perfect"
So there
You got it from the Man
Go get it
What's stopping you?

Audacity of Hope

Life will never give you what you desire 

Life will always give you what you deserve 

Because faith can never take the place of sacrifice 

There's no substitute for hardwork
you give in, you get back 
that's how it works 

Crisis are God's wake up call 
so in that mess 
that situation you find yourself just afloat and keep working because hardwork forever pays 

You only have to perform for an audience of one, the lord your creator 
It's called"Audacity OF HOPE"

Positive Audacity

One day goes by 

Then two to be

Three goes by and four 

Is to see

Eyes open, breath easy

Positive life

With confident audacity 

New beginnings made trouble-free

Transition from the old to the new

And you will see

The power

of

positively

Audacity

Brutality is Reality
Making your life a Fatality
Morality determines Mentality
Unrelenting Insanity
Vitality is a drive from Urbanity
Inanity perpetuates Profanity
Mundanity a fake posh Formality
Humanity is Volcanity

Tenacity and Audacity

Tenacity and Audacity

When day does start then has been through
What will it be that most men must do
To make sure his marriage becomes complete
So she thinks everything is oh, so sweet.

Each morning he does dust mop floor
See Seattle Seahawks game and the score
And back to man cave he will flitter
After cleaning up all of the cat liter.

Brings Christmas decorations down each stair
And every time as they will look out there
People at all of it have gazed and gazed
Each one of them ended up truly amazed.

His daily duties are complete and all done
And now realizes he is the only one
Who found this to be within his capacity
Thoroughly with audacity and much tenacity.
