Best Amiability Poems
“Not enjoyment, and not sorrow;
Is our destined end or way;
But to act, that each to-morrow
Find us farther than today.”
A Psalm of Life, by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Because I live, I am me, avid voice among the free,
Flexing freedom, defining contours of my dreams,
Ambling life’s prairies, rowing life’s eager streams,
Braving challenges, eying serene, hosting sublime,
Purposefully furthering life, with every tick of time.
Curious, conscious of the mortal world, I am aware,
Amplifying empathy, nurturing amiability, I care;
Not prone to seek hurdles, when faced I will dare
Maneuvering around the detours on life’s highway
So tomorrow would shine, upon my brumous day.
Witnessing travails faced, wishing for a fairer way,
Vying hope of rising dawn, exiting night of dismay,
Resembling urge of spring rooting in wintry decay,
Aspiring to a kinder world, short of goal, yet I wait,
To pluck fruits of morrow, negotiating course of fate.

On troubled roads of life, when opposing sides collide,
Conflict of emotions clamors, agitating ego and pride,
While empathy warns: let forgiveness be your guide,
As benevolent angels, in missives of compassion chide.
Mired in wins and losses, when humanity strums offbeat,
Adversaries propagate hatred, and blatantly mistreat,
As meaningless conversations puff up, donning conceit,
While expressions of solemn amiability retreat in defeat.
A proffer of calm and goodwill, checks enemy’s reign
When sanctity prevails, calming a perturbed domain,
As atonement and humility heal, soothing angst of pain
And disturbed vibes seeking revenge, begin to wane.
As nobility of repentance tenders offers of mercy, grace,
Malevolent behaviors recede, ashamed in disgrace,
And enlightenment of intellect inspires vacuous space,
When hosting redemption, reformed enemies embrace.
In affluence of cognitive thoughts informed minds elate
Harboring tolerance and sympathy, discarding hate,
Being harmonious with peace, mundane life they liberate,
Achieving balance within, unfazed by travails of fate.
Sons Of Liberty
Samuel Adams was a most wanted man
In pre American tyrannical land
In insane taxes the colonies drown
They were indentured servants to the crown
The Redcoat aggression showed no remorse
Brotherhood was formed to fight back with force
Chorus
Hail, hail, the Sons Of Liberty
Hail, hail, revolution without impunity
Hail, hail, The Sons Of Liberty
Hail, hail show no amiability
Smuggling wine to the secret of the coin
Enmity burned over the Boston massacre
drawn to the resistance, patriots would join
Boston Tea party struck back at the master
Hancock and Revere, they took to the gun
The Sons fought fearlessly at Lexington
Chorus
Would secretly meet at the liberty tree
fabric they torn,new nation is born
They set the stage to the road to be free
fiery inferno, for Hutchinson foe
patriot or terrorist introspective
hero's who attain patriotic objective
chorus(2)
Friends are priceless gems brighter than a meteor,
in our eyes they glitter as stars do;
keep on watching them...they will shine even more!
I have sought the most beautiful one,
in a universe so awesome and immense...
there it was all by itself waiting towards dawn!
Amazed by such loveliness and defined beauty...
my wish was to cradle it into my caring hands,
promising to keep it warm with my flame of amiability!
I gave that resplendent star a lovely name, " Eternal friend "...
the one that listened, smiled and responded tenderly;
if friends are priceless gems, why not love them until the very end?
My Dedication:
My poem is dedicated to Carol Sunshine Brown. Years ago she welcomed me into the Poetry Soup Family with warmth wishing me well. Her heart-felt words made me feel seven feet tall. Yes, her friendship is a priceless gem!
Brought back from the world of fantasies
By the 8’o clock warning device
Raised up undesirably at a lazy pace
Retrieving the welcoming hateful whole day race.
Jaded by the whole day lecture and ruined by assignments
Projects got to be compiled and pending PPTs
Next week’s above mentioned tasks
The lecturer did a job on my weekend plans.
Beetling of from the blue mind
On the way back paid for a RS pint
The evening amiability
Then changed my midday adhor.
Desirous roomie on my glass
Extended my evening all to night.
Budget hashed out and yet a penny left
Contribution counted to three
Held back for the late-night hour,
Program scheduled just after dinner.
Prepared nuts and crisped chicken
Horror flick lappy screen and encircled auditory sensation
Filtered flake lit up and welcoming the upcoming
Pollyannaish mood.
Three ready glasses and poured down first small pegs
Mixed with soda and measured cold drinks
Awaited Cheer up, is now appraised.
Valueless gabs and college couple scandals
Tittle-tattle few lectures and against soul mate’s lambasts.
Last sip downed
And the empty glasses quashed.
A bit stronger second and third
And the time seems to date-back.
Bulge out blushed eyes and orbing love stain bed
Latent hostility and fags myriad.
Enthroned activities
Except time none to put an end.
Deaf-mute fourth and last
Heedful sore past
Lonesome few moments and
Unenviably brought back.
A maudlin reverie expression
To see the past back to present
If matters could be deepened
Would endure the malign again.
Roused up from blues and faced the benighted
Sleety mezzanine and beetle-browed breeze
Yet stood placidly
To face the agony.
Mere empty thoughts
And faded memories
Seemed to calve a baseless spirit.
A sudden wink,
Out from the world of miasmas
To a reining state –
Caught up with existing faith
A new time ignited.
Bibulous state and duple images –
A feel to fly
And uncivilly liberty,
Did a moment time
An unexpected eternity.
The night to welcome the dawn
And unwished obscurity nap
Impermanent few hours of morning
Lasted till…….
Retrieving once again the hateful whole day race.
I insisted the jubilee amiability
to stir up with twilight-ed spirit
zeal of desires aroused
as the silverly rays crowned me
to pour out the gilded spirit.
Earstwhile crimson years
With some bichrome days
My glazed tumbler seems to reflect
those moments
as the sound of slopping gilded spirit
sloshed the bottom spattering the glazed ambiance.
I greeted the slushing club soda
to blend with its own felicity of bubbles
dribbling over the gilded spirit
to rebel the jubilee amiability.
Invidious comparisions of consequences experienced
now the encumbrance of responsibility that blazes
as I perished my own dreams.
I acompanied the thought lighting my cig
Smokes drifted alike my reveries.
I held my gilded spirit inclining to my thirsty lips
The gilded sip boosted me
Out from those obsessed incumbency.
I accompanied with a prepraration of pomfret tandoori shrimp
to spice up the gilded spirit
with slurp sounds that spieled again and again.
The jubilee amiability acquainted with
some imagery hot babes
keeping aside my eternal love for few moments.
My vision evinced bit of dizziness
As I imbibed the whole gilded peg.
The zeal of the twilght-ed spirit
That crowned me against my solitude passing jubilee
I was inspired by my own amiability
As if I was adorned with my Gilded Silver Jubilee Peg.
The day began an infinite sky of blue,
my gentle garden all tranquility;
soon the sky went grey and sun said adieu,
rain fell on flowers of fragility.
It was wild and crazy and the wind blew,
the rain came with amiability;
watching from my window this summer dance,
soon- I was in the storm to leap and prance.

Ottava rima/Summer Dance

Benevolence was sought and was found with delight,
amiability with kindness brings me to my gentle knees.
With each stroke of good will my sadness does cease
and in the wretched darkness altruism brings light.
Selfishness with mercy always bring me pure ease,
a warm heart cannot be cold when given out of care.
I seek only clemency when life’s problems are not fair
and the ability to see the pain no one else ever sees.
One may be silent yet speaks volumes in his affection,
for there is nothing as rare as a special connection.
I show gratitude for him bestowing such geniality
and in return I give to him a heart of tender affability.
Qualities You Admire in Friends
June 21, 2018
Celebrate humility with the agility and amiability
Ensconced in the sublime civility facility in salvation city
As God grants you nobility, versatility and mobility
To scale hallowed heights
To absorb the simplicity and centrality of sumptuous sights
Devoid of pesky plights and feeble fights
When your own efforts at bolstering and mastering matrimony pale into insignificance
In the context of bliss balance at the confluence of confidence and circumstance
Where once providence-propelled you achieve optimal outcomes, for instance
When at the right place and at the right time, God places you
Strategically to inject zeal into faith and commitment anew
Bound with glue to your partner as you utilise a critical clue
To propel your marriage into a new orbit
Measured not in feet or nanometer but in a concrete cubit
When you and your partner ensure every matrimonial bit
Snaps seamlessly into place
In your matrimonial jigsaw case
With neither disgrace nor distress
To galumph with confidence into your forty first lap
Ensuring you seal every conceivable gap
To sow seeds of further growth and tap
Every opportunity that enhances matrimonial dignity
Sagacity, temerity to harvest from every opportunity
Chances to play right, think right, act right and to propel the certainty
That the forty first decade brings success
Anchored on placing Providence at the centre of every critical process
In which the main ingredient lies in the centrality of grace.
Wear no long face
When storms rage in your space
Flying and crying you out of place
If you do
Like a cow you’ll moo
Shooting and hooting at the crew
You claim to train
With foibles you can’t restrain
With lower standards you strain
In muscles, corpuscles and bustles
Indulging in hustles
Egging you to tussles
You hardly believe worthwhile
Embracing a foppish lifestyle
As you claim to care for the poor for a while
Sneaking a surprise or a dose of gloom
When for the sake of the lake of doom
You elevate and fete misfortune in the room
That denies you peace of mind
When pride drives you blind
To become and grow unkind
Until an invisible hand
Teaches you to take an accommodating stand
In circumstances denying your pride the grandstand
That sinks the last nail
To administer a master class manicure the fingernail
Shining and gliding far better than the snail
You’d rather blessed and caressed humility
Stretching and fetching from your life adaptability
As you strive to promote amiability and its agility.

she gets questioned by her girlfriend
about her recent husband
(asks questions about how his business is
going, asks questions about their new
place)---
being young & all
she is grilled by the other
as to her plans for the future &
in comparison to her inquisitor
she feels the need to brag on a
bit about a
“possible future” not yet put in
motion
(hopes & dreams not discussed with
said new husband)---
this leads her inquisitor to get on
the defensive, though still smiling &
promoting the mutual amiability between
them
with her body language &
references to the past when they were
both younger.
and as if the two are both pocketing
their own score cards,
they scribble down inside their minds
those things that they must improve upon
within their individual lives
(after comparing themselves to each
other),
so that if they ever do meet again,
they will have the best chance possible
to one-up the other---
after all,
this is what friendship is all about.
Disarmed and helpless
my emotions robbed from me
I stood naked
of all pretences
that ever formed my defense mechanisms
you had that way about you
where you looked deep
and pored in soul
and made that gaping hole
in that which palpitates on left
which was hard to sew
your sugar sweet begs
for affection and love
had me reeling
making me see white doves
in mind that was on heavenly reel
wiping clear my memories past
as if an anti virus
that works complete and fast
you caught me sudden
and had nothing left hidden
disarmed and helpless
I had to yield
to your charms
to you amiability
to your stability
to your personality
to your attitude
with no regrets
but a lot of gratitude
that enveloped in swarm
you are now a part
that is so diffcult to part
why did you imprison
this free bird
in the mansion
of your being
I love nothing
over anything
any longer
as i inhabit you
and,as I grow
with you
stronger
and stronger.
Guess we are both obligations free!
you started like a pin prick to
my heart, an intravenous bloodline
saturating my once severed veins.
after the turmoil we both embraced
we scattered poppies in the wind to
secure our comradeship.
a fever rushed down my spine when
we first met.
a friendship bloomed like a field
of a thousand lilies blossoming in
the spring.
we knew not the afflictions we would
face as we both slipped down that
slope of dealing with the death of
our other dear friend.
companionship and affection revealed
our most intimate amiability.
we soared heights to become closer
and even through the confusion life
offers we prevailed in devotion.
benevolence in our closeness doesn’t
even compare to other friendships.
we are both familiar with each other’s
character defaults, yet have learned to
accept through the depth of warmth.
the part you play in my life is simple.
you release my fears with such ease,
you bestow compassion in everything
you say and do.
I worry not when you are near, for you
bring me much needed understanding
when I am weary.
your kindliness and consideration has
given me a hope beyond comprehension.
you feel my emotions and I can discern
your sensitivity.
for you are my truest supporter and I
am forever full of heartfelt gratitude.

The fog that en laces
The lofty peaks
Shows its amiability.
The butterflies and bees
That collects the nectar of flowers
Quote its heart of sharing.
Through the enlightening face,
Through the sparkling
But sharp look
Of the son,
Flows out the mom’s love,
Concern and happiness.
The language of the heart
Of the mother
Comes through,
Gets life and sound
Through the lips of the son.
All the stalemates
Will become freezed
By the inseparable chain
Of their heart.
But the day came
When the murmuring winds,
And the chattering birds
Had to say adieu.
The mother’s heart began to burn
That pain dropped down
As the tears from the son’s eyes.
The lament of the blood
That flows through the nerve
Of his mom
Sobbed by the lips of the son.
At last,
The heart of the mother
That cannot speak out
The word-Goodbye
Find out a reason.
Loving and caring blood
Appeared on the babe’s body
Without even a small scratch,
Without any prediction.
But in reality,
The blood flowed out
From the vulgur and
Pitiable wounds
Of the true love
On the body
Of the source of love.
This is what the reason of love
Found by the heart is....
