Authentically Poems | Examples

In love with your flaws

I fell in love with your flaws
You don’t have to be perfect for me
All I want is for you to show me you love me
I don’t care if everyone is against you 
Baby I got you
Don’t be perfect for me
Just grow with me and show me loyalty 
I just want to be all you need
Match my effort
Consistency and loyalty 
I’ll give you everything you want and everything you need 
Just promise me that you got me
I love everything that they hate about you 
Your flaws pushes them away but it makes me want to be near you
Your imperfections are beautiful to me
In you, I see authenticity 
They can never be as real as you
They don’t have the swag the way you do
I’m in love with your flaws 
You are appealing 
You are you and I love that about you 
Don’t get mad if they don’t like you 
They wish they could all do what you are doing and that is being authentically you
I’m in love with your flaws because I know that’s what makes you, you

Love is the answer

Inspired by... Love

Love is the answer 
By Michelle Morris

Love is the answer 
It is always the answer 
Even when we forget 
Even when we're confused 

Look around you
Notice where the peace is missing 
Notice where the communication is off
Notice where we live past each other 

What we need is to connect 
What we need is to delete ego
What we need is our humanity 
What we need is grace and humility 

More compassion and honesty 
Kindness and empathy 
Showing up authentically 
Giving a hand where needed

Community rather than isolation 
A smile instead of a frown 
Patience instead of anger 
Truly listening and understanding 

Because we are all connected 
We are all one in spirit 
No matter the perceived differences 
Our atoms are from the same source 

So learn to love yourself 
Learn to love others
Learn to be part of the greater good
For your soul knows love is everything 

Love is the answer 
It is always the answer 
Love is our legacy 
For our souls' eternal salvation

All Importance 123

All Importance 123

All Our Dreams And Musings
Imagination's Passions…
Spin And Sway And
Make Our Day So Many
Ways Refreshing.

But Reality Insists
It’s More Important:
HEAR
LOOK
LISTEN
SEE
FEEL…

Authentically.
It Happen, Happens, Happened.
Yes, It Did 
And Does.

So Reality More Than
Imaginary Desire!!!

Fire Away!!!

And THEN Whatever
Is More Important
Than That.

Don’t Miss A Step.

Ode To Poetry Soup

As we sit and type and stare at our screens.
At times we wonder what all of this means?
With our mouse we roam through poems like a maze.
Looking for something worthy of our praise.

We write of our hopes and tell of our woes,
Most of the time, not knowing where it goes.
We wait for the views and comments to see.
We try to share thoughts authentically.

Friendships begin with people we don’t know.
Some will flourish and continue to grow.
We freely give hugs and our blessings too,
And even sent soup mail to just a few.

Why is it on screen we can be so bold?
Telling our secrets that we’ve never told.
Why do we share the deep thoughts on our minds?
Others can see in through our opened blinds.

We have things to say and feel that we must.
So, we open our hearts to friends we trust.
To Poetry Soup friends, my family,
I have found the place where I’m meant to be.

It Is Your Life

Be who you are

Not what others want you to be

Your life is not theirs

It is yours ….so live it authentically!

Kids See Ghosts

What if ghosts aren’t the apparitions that give us chills

Maybe they are the purest form of self

Maybe that’s why we see them with fearful eyes

We’re too afraid to be ourselves

So, we exist in the matrix of the dazed in confused

Will you ever jump from the person you pretend to be

If you ever do, you'll learn to breathe within moments, because;

To live authentically is to love fully

p.s. when you dive into the center of your heart, the world sees ghosts…

Parting Echoes: Farewell, My Love

I recall the day tears fell for you, Pleading for your stay, futile, true. Yet you departed, leaving me to surrender, Broke me, changed me, a fate I'd render.

Thank you for not lingering in doubt, For in your absence, I found my route. Disguised in wrong, I acquiesced, But in your leaving, strength coalesced.

For in your absence, I learned to see, To accept, to be, authentically me. All that seemed normal, right, in guise, I learned to discern truth from lies.

Thank you for your final choice, Placing both our happiness in voice. No longer solely yours to claim, A mutual joy, free from blame.

No regrets, for you were not in vain, But my greatest lesson, my lasting gain. Thank you for putting me first, at last, No more shadows of a haunting past.

No regrets, for in each twist of fate, God's plan revealed, albeit late.

GOODBYE, MY LOVE

Coyest Fountain

The best of this life is being fully seen 
Value which few have authentically mined
Failed conception of what real desires mean;
Hearts roaming with each other, thoughts undefined
I wished with new penny; an investment keen
Represents the best showing of humankind 
Beguiling two fish swimming in coyest fountain
Fed by water deep inside a loves mountain

The Path

I walk down life’s road
All to see and to be
To bear my alloted load
To give for free or to charge a fee
To pen every masterful ode
As authentically as can only be me

To see and to be seen 
To learn and to teach
To be apprentice and to be dean
To bequeath and to reach 
That the shine and sheen from where I’ve been 
May inspire each and herald a good preach

To do good and to faint not
Is not without the temptation to be weary
To painstakingly write to then blot
Be far from my schedule and diary
Never to tell of only how close I got
But to enter my rest truly and surely

To eat of the good of the land
To match the seasons with readiness 
To increase as the grains of sand
In Godliness, in count, in business 
And that mastery stays in head and hand
A second nature so effortless

To keep my mind on my matter
And where it matters others to mind
To stay clear of the chatter meant to flatter
And seek what is virtuous to find
And only wisdom and life to utter
That it may be well where I opined

K. Muitherero

Plagiarism

How might I replicate your verse with deceit, 
Claiming ownership, a fraudulent feat. 
The sentiments woven, not from my core, 
A stolen melody, a hollow encore.

How do I connect to the sunset's gold, 
When purloined treasures in my hands unfold? 
In the radiant daylight, brazen and bright, 
I pilfer your wealth, devoid of true light.

How might I borrow your emotions, a theft so bold, 
Claiming them as mine, when the pain's not been told. 
Loneliness wrapped in borrowed lines divine, 
A counterfeit connection, a deceptive design.

How do I profess love with words not authentically mine, 
Desire and yearning from another's line? 
Expressing affection, a counterfeit show, 
In someone else's verses, my feelings won't grow.

How could I snatch your art, a precious display, 
When the sentiments painted, not mine to convey. 
In the misty rain, your love I'd feign, 
Yet only fog in my mind's windowpane.

How might I borrow, and not call it thine, 
A snippet of work, claiming it's mine. 
Yet with proper reference, an ethical find, 
Admiring your craft, no plagiarism behind.

Zen Mode

to be always equal
does not mean
we negate the fragrance 
of jasmine or roses
and settle down in stench
amidst decaying flesh
merely to prove a point
as does the Aghori

desire and aversion
no doubt interplay
but rather than overthinking
or making it a forced practice
if we but embrace and release 
the flow of life
delighting in joy
stoic in pain
as an orientation 
perhaps we are then
living authentically

Checkmate

wherever there be
fear or subterfuge
our heart dies a little
so the problem is huge

anticipating outcomes
attempting to steer fate
living not authentically
is essentially checkmate

Fesh

#I came across a clip of a beautiful young Scottish lad from the show Little Big Shots hosted by Steve Harvey on YouTube. 

Well, a topic of favorite foods was discussed and this adorable kid exclaimed he liked...

"FESH!" "SO GOOD!!!" {SMILE}

Mr. H* aimed to correct his pronunciation,
yet this child's "I State My Claim" pure elation was sent and meant to convey to him and the world...
BY GOLLY, IT'S "F E S H!" HA!~

"No, No...it's Fish!" said the Eldest, Wisest.
"FESH"..."FESH"..."FESH" 
said the Youngest, Brightest! 
NOTE: Potato/Potata Tomato/Tomata...
Singalong: "Let's Call The WHOLE thing off!"

EXCEPT...
Let's NOT :-)

LET'S RELISH IN EXCHANGE AND RANGE
OF DELIGHTFUL, INSIGHTFUL DIALOGUE WITH WONDERFUL WORDS, {STIRRED} AUTHENTICALLY REFERRED...IN THE MOST PUREST AND JUBILANT OF WAYS, DISPLAYS & HEARTWARMING CONVEYS,
ALWAYS!!!

This JOYOUS Youngster Struck* So Much 
"GLEE IN ME" from {Laughter, Relating and Giggle} 

May YOU Have ETERNAL Wiggle Room With Your ELECTED & MAGNETIC EXPRESS...DEAR OSCAR!~

"FESH!" I SINCERELY *LOVED* HOW YOU ADDRESSED! TRANSLATION RECEIVED...

AT ITS FINEST BEST!!!

The Real You

Are you living your life authentically

Truly being who you are meant to be

Did you falter along lifes path

Stepping off on another’s behalf 

Is your spirit shackled yearning to be free

Are you living authentically?
