Best Admired Poems

Roaming around in the Gallery today
Eyes growing wide with colourful sway
Splashes so vibrant burying layers
Flashes and hues, images and prayers

Oil on canvas, surrealist and Glasgow Boys
Catching my attention, full of the joys
Some were dark, sad, black, brown, grey
Others were vibrant, swooping like to prey

Touches of...

La dame de fer looks on
furry tabby cat is enthralled
woman plays mystery sonata

is that a stratavarius? It is!
we are all intrigued and excited
including iron lady...

Diamonds
Rubies
Sapphires
and pearls.
These jewels are greatly
admired by girls.

Race cars
Sports
and anything 
that flies.
These are the things
admired by guys!...

Be Admired By Everyone

There are many things we desired;
By everyone want to be admired;
Where we went,

And by others have been inspired.

Geniuses are admired
the wealthy envied
the strong glorified
the powerful feared
the tricky avoided
the weak laughed at
the holy hallowed
But it is the one with
good character who is
trusted, honored, adored...

Claims bestilled north river long shores of yore,
inscribed quill while floored, dry well mirror cracked,
breathes clement time preclude stray minds the score,
crept halls, wings, flights of stares, hearts apart prepped,

Cobbled stones of years earned the weight wield turned,
Spring hast sprung that allay belongs the myth,
fog...

I have always admired you
But you seem so put together
And above my station
I stay away

There is a part of me that really wants to know you
But I am intimidated by your style
Your voice, your laughter and your talents
I just want you to know

You are changing...

They can put a man
On a pedestal,
Have him admired
Far and wide;

A man a king
And call him
A big success,

I have seen what He can do
Admired all that He has done
It was for all the people
That His race was actually won
Behold my child now listen
To the things I have to say
Important things that you should know
To tell them all one day
It's that Christ is...

she is close
to perfection,
so elegantly
staged with charm,
confusing to most
like a mystery
wrapped in beauty,

my eyes have held
the grace of
an angel
and the fury
of a passing storm,

she is not
to be judged
but respected,
admired and loved....

Who am I in the context of you?
I’ll blindly follow your every whim,
For changing is a sin—
That only fools choose.

I’m obliged to follow commands.
It’s written in my code,
That my life isn’t mine to hold—
Though it feels like something I’m handed.

Yes I know I’m weak.
Weak to...
