Best Actions Poems

A kind word, of course,
Can soothe the flustered soul or bring a smile
To a frowning face. That’s a given, but
In one’s troubled times, words still are
Only words.
Naked they become, for we see right through them when
Sincerity is misspoken and devoid of thoughtful deed.

Simple gestures are...

Actions Speak Louder Than Words


Actions versus words
Actions speak louder
Louder is figurative
Louder is expressive
Figurative language is effective
Figurative does not truly speak
Effective is deeply important
Effective is walking the talk
Important lessons must be demonstrated
Important lessons show you don’t tell you
Demonstrated lessons are shown like an exhibit
Demonstrated lessons than...

Actions Speak Louder Than Words

One grows fond of all the involvement one has with society

To what end do we extend those words of forgiveness said so easily

You spend all those days and weekends

With those they say they are your friends

Those that say they will watch...

A quiet teenager named Tina
Had bullies use words to demean her
But my memory lingers
cos she stuck up two fingers
then pushed them into the marina!

"Actions of Love"
by:  Eric L. Boddie

What if I were to instigate your heart to join with my own
Would you make me the place you call home

If I challenge your body to a duel of pleasure
Would you be willing to expose your treasure

If I dare...

Raindrops sliding down the leaves
 
Falling; falling to the ground
 
Between the roots; running in streams
 
Strong and steady with no sound
 
 
 
A sea of wild flowers and grass
 
Dancing to the winds weary song
 
Tunes of divine secrets to last
 
Blowing sweet...

The sword is plunged so deep and yet
I live beyond its thrust?
Each turn, each intentional turn,
Should have turned this man to dust
But yet, I see, through my own eyes
That alive I am, for sure?
As wandering down this path of light
I come to find His door
I...

I don't know where to start
All I know is you tore me apart

All Actions Have Consequences

I make things only to destroy them
To build them up again
Repeat the action

A point in one direction, like a mirror, points back at you
To that end
A reflection on what once was

Looking up
Indications are
The swirl of stars
Other unknowns
Out there
In larger part
At their own...

Why can't I sleep tonight? 

I can not stop thinking about our last fervid conversation.
Broken promises of a long lost love affair between the cores of two fleshly desires. 
The nature of the problem resides within your poor...

Mistake can’t cause a fetch of honey from a busy bee hive
ridiculous is an instant transit from sleep to a sea-dive
a decision lands one in distant Germany
or a palace of whores despite how many
don’t blame the devil after having the satisfaction live....

Attitude so typical,cold and analytical.
She's lacking warmth, compassion? none.
These things, to me are critical.

Beauty though, beyond measure. Her touch brings infinite pleasure
Weakness induced by her sultry gaze
Forgetting those traits I so treasure
Last night I was lost in the passion, swept up by genetic reaction
No discipline,...

quintella (Spanish quintain) in pentameter

Hard-working spider, you do your part,
instinctive busy spider that thou art.
You speak without doubt as you weave your web.
It is we humankind that tend to ebb
and surge, trying to balance mind and heart.

One day man, I'm down, oh my restless soul.
On...

A Word of Knowledge

The Lord gave me a word of knowledge for one 
particular person but, it really could be for more.

You are feeling God has abandoned you but, in
reality because you have been in fear because 
of circumstances from bad actions and decisions
on your...

Our conscience bears witness—

in the way thoughts are excused

in the way actions are accused

by the inward manner bemused

of the acceptance of grace unabused
