Best Allow Poems
Allow The Dawn To Wake Us
I would write words for you, dipped in beauty and gold
my heart would burst for you, if it were just that bold;
with you, our romance cries out, for an eight day week
with you, I have found the truest of deep love I seek.
Walk with me, to paradise its bright singing birds
Talk to me, your voice sends golden, beautiful words;
stay this night, let our two souls and pure hearts entwine
allow dawn to wake us, let our loving hours shine.
Love does flow with heat for you from my melted heart
honey dipped allure your ambrosia does impart,
time together precious as racing pulse does chime
in amaranthine night of purple passion prime.
Basking in our luscious love lush and heaven-sent
rousing first blush bathes us embraced in our content;
sunrise spreads ardent reds blessing our love story
dawning dew thrills the bloom of our morning glory.

`
Those who lash out when the heart speaks
avoid the many mirrors reflecting themselves
For in this rippled dream,
where perfect does exist
and mistakes are long gone like a Milli Vanilli song,
they fail to see that we are all human…
errors come with the package (batteries not included)
Sidewalk footprints, back and forth
pacing past the entrance to that world
where words have no meaning,
regardless of how they are spoken (or written)
Self-absorbed deeply in the waves
of an ocean tide of fantasy
crashing in white foam feelings, disappearing by sunset
What is it that makes us who we are…
our smile, our fingers, our brand of cigarettes
shipped in plain brown envelopes,
our thoughts, our dreams, the poetry we write
when we need to get it out…good or bad
When lack of judgment drips from the skylight,
illuminating courage to do what we shouldn’t (even in darkness)
Wrong, I was wrong…regret, more than I could have known
I have looked in this mirror, then I looked away quickly,
Ashamed of that face, fell three stories below my heart,
slipped on the disgust splattered at my feet (by me)
Sunk up to my knees…bent, folding, scraped and bruised
but I require no sympathy, for I am not that devil Jagger sings of…
at least I hope not…please allow me to introduce myself…I am…me

Allow yourself to live
Worries only keep you busy
Thinking
With a fear of an unknown
Wasting precious time away
To grief
That don't help spiritual growth
As is also a path of life
A rare truth
Allow yourself to grow
You can't grow with out yourself
So you can't live without yourself
Life in return can't come without you
If truly it so be
Allow yourself to grow
Plant can't be grown
With out it seed
Either can a tree stand
With out it root
So change can't be
With out you
Allow your self to grow
The biggest enemy of human
Is fear
as the biggest mystery of
Man start from fear
Life is a beautiful thing
So it moments has a lot to say
It can't be easy when you have
To live
So growth don't come in a time
Time answers every doubt
For with out fear
The mind is free
only on this time
you could
Allow yourself to grow

Chant Royal
The music itself is healing
Everyone loves music, in beautiful light tones
Please do not stop the music
An interaction between emotion and soul
Dreams in time and melody
Please do not stop the music
Relaxed and peaceful, still excited and happy
An important bodily experience with emotions
Please do not stop the music
Rhythm and harmony motivation for learning
Musical culture in early childhood
Please do not stop the music

Dreamers dream
Scoffers scoff
Thinkers think
And droppers drop
Artists create art
Writers will write
Beware of biters, yes they will bite
A smiler will smile
Still sometimes they'll frown
Although mostly happy
There are times they feel down
Laughers may laugh
Other time they will cry
Life ain't so easy
That's why tryers try
Stinkers will stink
Comforters will comfort
Listen to trumpeters
They really do trumpet
Listeners will listen
Talkers will talk
Movers will move
It's hard for them to stop
Shakers will shake
Steppers will step
You wouldn't be surprised
If a sleeper slept
Circles will circle
Back to the start
A dreamer dreaming
Creating his art
Dusted off for SKAT's contest.

Allow me ~ to be your dream of dawning
When song of love the robins are singing
While rustles of trees whisper to soft winds
And golden morning is rising ebulliently
Etching purple skyline tinged in amethyst
As halo of its luminance is glinting the sea,
Allow me~ my dear~ to dream your dreams.
Allow me~ to be the guide of your journey
While despaired emotions come dreading
From forgotten yore of discarded memories
And hope that once was, starts hesitating
In aches of today and tomorrow’s warning
Reluctant to traverse the path of destiny,
Allow me~ my dear~ to dream your dreams.
Allow me~ in longings of intimate musings
When you are reveling in alluring fantasies
Buoying passions romantic on magical wings
While stars of night are zealously twinkling
And crystalline skies are gleaming moonlit
Allow me~ to be the Venus of your galaxy,
Allow me~ my dear~ to dream your dreams.
Allow me~ to be the pulse of your heartbeats
Strumming lovingly the sound of their music,
Allow me, my love, to be voice of your lyrics
In feelings of ecstasy crooning tunes euphoric
Lounging by your side in paradise heavenly,
Allow me~ the opulence of just you and me,
Allow me~ my dear~ to dream your dreams.

Verse
allow me the strength to
let go of your memory...
allow me the peace of
once knowing your love...
to relinquish my soul
and grant me serenity...
to attain the comfort
of a tranquil being...
allow the ripples of
a once stormy wake...
to become still...
and shine soley
on the future.
allow me...
to love...
to live...
to laugh...
to breathe...
allow me.

I'm young and your old ...
Isn't that what you've told ...
It's not the age that I care about ...
But I want someone to hear my heart when it shouts ...
I've felt pain for so many years ...
Until love became my biggest fears ....
I don't want to hurt you and I don't want to get hurt again ....
So please allowed me to be your friend, don't walk away and leave pain ....
I'm not ready to love and neither love is ready for me ....
So please don't walk away , just let things to be what it wants to be ....

Allow brief time
To live fond space,
Allow sweet chimes
To grace your face.
Be still my heart
For love now speaks,
Be still ere start
To sight and seek.
Be of sound mind
To understand,
Be bold and kind
To work your scan.
Be of good cheer
To know the way,
Be without fear
To live this day.
Be kind and good
To all you meet,
Be calm of mood
To gall and sweet.
Allow fond quest
To guide you now,
Allow sure zest
To fund endow.
Be still and know
That God knows all,
Be still and show
That life now calls.

Couplet
Does humanity ever change?
He deceives the people; claims he is a king.
Hang him on a cross would be just the thing.
They do not confess the truth of the church.
Burn them at the stake or worse.
Make them wear an arm band.
Then gas them throughout the land.
They are enemies of the state.
Thus, the gulags they create.
They do not comply with the revolution.
Eliminate them is the one solution.
Ban a book, delete an account,
Silence voices of decent.
Only allow majority assent.
For a man can only speak, what a man can think.
In these current days and times,
Government and media have combined,
To assault the language; thus, our minds.
Control the language, control the mind.
For man can only speak, what a man can think.
Folks let fear take them over.
Succumbing to popular notions;
Believing they provide protections;
Blinded by cowardly inventions.
Forgetting all of histories lessons,
Regarding dangerous insurrections,
Claimed by men seeking self-elevation.
Yet, there is no way to gage the power;
Of one man unwilling to cower.
Who stands up strong at the fateful hour;
Resisting wrongs of a throng’s clamor.
For a man can truly speak, when a man can think.

Allow me to reintroduce myself –
Hello, I know it’s been a while.
Since we last met, alone.
Simultaneously, the odds capitulate.
The very epiphany of a victor, we are.
Allow me to reintroduce myself -
I know it’s been while, tell me how’ve been doing.
The reminder of past pain often gets in the way.
Of us.
The steel razor they hold tried to cut through your thick, thick scar.
Thick you are.
Thick are the brick walls
Comfortably numb with Mr. Floyd
But that’s just another void.
Vulnerability, it bleeds; yearning for truth.
Your truth.
Let me take you back to your truth.
Stand, don’t misunderstand
The demand is yours
Simply breathe.
Breath. In.
Exhale and sail.
Allow me to reintroduce myself –
Ride the waves with me.
You are brave.
Come out of your cave. It’s not too late.
Illuminate your Space.
Cosmos. Galaxies.
Full of wonder
Wonderful you are
Simultaneously, the odds capitulate.
The epiphany of victory, I am.
Hello my heart - allow me to reintroduce myself

Prose Poetry
The more we
allow ourselves
to feel
what lives
deep inside,
the more familiar
it becomes to us,
giving us
the confidence
to express it
The more
what lives
deep inside
comes out
and finds
its way freely,
the better
it can heal
all that once
was broken

Allow yourself to be taught,
And with that knowledge plant a seed.
Let it grow so you may harvest a dream.
And another and another like fruit from a tree.
And let yourself catch a wind,
And sail should there be water to float,
And with that knowledge navigate the stars.
To reach the dream sails full of hope.
And never be still should disappointment come,
A windless sky for a while might be,
When all seems lost and nothing is.
Knowledge makes waves in a calm sea.

Rhyme
My name is Keisha..
I am in love with myself
I don’t need anybody else
I do everything on my own anyway
I do what I want no matter what anyone has to say
Your validation is not necessary
I have a license for self respect and confidence
That I don’t conceal but most definitely carry
I have a strong spirit
I am a lioness on the prowl
I do all things to make myself proud
I possess a gift of love within myself
No one can take away my wealth
I am blessed
Way up like Sean and drake
I pride myself on being real
And guard myself from the fake
I know my worth
I smile through every situation
The good, the bad and the worse
I can take pain like a soldier
I get back up when I’m down
Come back bolder
I am a woman
A ruby, a rare gem to find
I am beauty, inside and out it shines
I have a beautiful soul
And an amazing mind
There’s nothing you can do or say to stop my grind
I am a mother
A hustler
A creation of God so divine
So remember that when you come for me next time!
