Best Ardency Poems

What seems now old 
Used to be utterly new
What was previously told 
We cease to over chew
*****
All that is old hold a treasure 
If only we all knew 
Just weigh and measure 
Under the veil a unique hue
*****
Out of memories we grow 
Been taught lessons...

Tossing and turning after a heavy economic loss
The shock shattered my peace of nights
Hugging my pillow tight with unshed tears
The sorrowful thoughts trudged haltingly
To my grandma's antique sewing machine
Lying impassively in the cluttered store
Guilt shook me out of my sluggish memories 
Over the dormant treasure...

I seek a place that leaves no trace
Of venomous blood and tainted heart
I seek a place that holds only grace
Of righteous hearts and caring thoughts
I seek a place that broods not on hate
But of a tranquilized soul and an intellectual eye
I seek a place that...

The woodland's sights and scents add a piquancy to the affair

By the moonlight's inky, starry gaze, so fleeting to retain

To dawn's fragile light shadows benignly filtering through

The damp, earthy undergrowth a mossy bed convenient

An ample, rough bark, redwood tree and gnarled, dry spreading roots.

A humble...

Within this realm I can converse
Palaver, prattle or parley
So many words from which to choose
A choice to winnow, will and weigh

With words I can tell a story
Anecdote, fable or novel
Or just convey some useless facts
Unmistakable, data,  gospel

They can tell you what I’m feeling
Sensations, semblance,...

Tears of ardency, fell from my eyes..
Seated in heavely places is where I'll 
abide..

"Welcome home, my precious child."
He gently whispers with a radiant smile.

I drop to my knees and bow my head..
Hanging and holding onto every word he 
had said.

He lifted me up and wiped...

i have this really bad habit.
i’m kind of like a crazed rabbit,
hopping between passions
and desperately seeking ardency.

i have this really bad habit.
i hold myself back,

because i’ll never be able to heal
from the inevitable sting
that comes from being kicked in the teeth
from...

I let the wistful winds blow 
The sun is all aglow
Glide into me, happiness from afar
Am I still your ever-glistening star?
I am still left with this unmerciful scar…

I am left with these letters to burn
They were from my...

She is ‘life’ in the strength, as of Earth,
She is ‘pulsation of ardency’, a woman of worth,
She is ‘harmony’, as of the timeless spheres,
She is ‘stories of deliverance’ from pain and fears,
Through waves and seas of uncertainties,
She is ‘nurture’ amidst adversaries,
She is ‘battle’ in her...

Ardency is the drive of life,
Beings journey in it vehicle.
For the rumination of thoughts,
The hunger race is infinite.

Ideas conceived are perceived,
Concepts are boundless,
Notions are yet born,
That man's itch is immeasurable.

Insatiablilty pervades the air,
Taste rises,
Hunger inflicts - and,
Cravings to be served is intense.

Man shouldn't be by...

At eventide light slowly fades
A curtain of darkness descends 
Pensively I reflect on our enduring ardency
Wonderstruck still at the miracle of reuniting
A veritable lifetime thereafter
That fleeting relation in our minority
Enamoured by your gentle comportment 
Exuding puissance and love eternal
Virtues countless as the stars aloft
Omnipresent tenderness...

She who has imbibed of life’s gaiety
I could request nothing more of
Her fervent ardency has rooted deeply
Ever burgeoning upon the pedestal of spirit
Her love my burning constancy

Eons of our lives pass she now wanes away
Each memory a pebble pulled out in tidewaters
Misty whispers dissipate far...
