Best Asks Poems

What is life?

Euphonies, cacophonies and chromosomal anomalies
intertangled destinies and illusive methodologies 

Occurring in obscure dimensionless time
Millenniums fertilized to create the sublime

Perceived by ideations so pure it would seem
To exist beyond mind and to all in between. 

Lingering as lore to an all distant past
There is...

You ask…………….
If love is forever and if I will love you forever
Why I love you and how much I love you
Why I chose you and when I fell in love with you
You ask me does love last an eternity
I answer………………..
I can neither tell you how...

The skeptic says, prove it and I'll believe,
prove God is real and I'll believe--but,
I answer, how can I prove the reality
of a Being that is beyond the lines of
space and time, life and death: eternal....

How can I even grasp the idea of God,
when I can...

What Jesus Asks Of Us…

“Love your God with your 
heart, soul and mind.”
This is the first great
 commandment you’ll find.

“Love your neighbor as yourself,”
 is number two...
These commands are what
Jesus asks of me and you.

The law, the prophets hang
 on these commands.
God loves you! ...

A day is a nice day when you touched my heart and smile.
A day is a sad day when you walked distance me a mile.
I work double when you inspired me I got strength,
I finish my day so quicker that was the hardest length,
I float...

A Reader Asks

Of the books that you’ve read
Which ones were the best?
Which ones caught your fancy?
Which ones passed your test?
Which ones made you laugh?
Which ones made you cry?
Which ones would you toss?
Which ones would you buy?
How about Little Women
With Joe, Meg and the others,
Or Lord...

Are You Here to Stay Or, Will You Go Away, Asked, the Father

We speak such swelling words with our tongue
words that would be better not to have been said,
promises that we’ve uttered foolishly before the Lord
and sworn, Father, we will do this before we to...

The Maid Asks for a Raise

By Elton Camp

Mrs. Richey hired a young, French maid
Highly recommended as good at her trade

After some weeks, Fifi had something to say
“Madam, I must insist on a big raise in pay.”

“I’m sorry, but that is something I won’t do
I can...

IF JESUS ASKS


Dew on the grass
Wants to disappear
As a day wakes up
Frightened by the red eyes of sun.

Again all those men
Will remain tireless
For some more hours.
Sharp arrows from their mind
Defeated-
Distance on the earth,
Boundary of the of universe,
Pride of stars being alone,
Even the game fate plays.
But...

Educated derelicts,
Professor of fools,
Scholars of crap,
Leaders that moo;

What is then intellect,
If honor is your weight in gold?
Such mineral torch can test,
Molten like poo....

A love-filled inning love asks for, 
Not just wedding ring love asks for. 

Let eyes dive deep further to probe, 
No more than feeling love asks for. 

We all desire joys of our own, 
Who suffering in love asks for? 

Just a moment-long communion, 
What...

Thank you God for a solution
I don't know what it is
But I know you gave it to me
Guess I will find out
The bottom line is I got it
And I got peace
How did I get it?
I would never know
I just know that it has nothing to...

No one ever asks for what everything is, a cosmic cycle of shadows and lost light,
You will be buried in the clothes of unfulfilled dreams, mantles of light and throbbing illusions,
Or, like all of us, modest souls who cannot pay for grand transitions, we will...

Pulling energy
  Fervor from Heaven above
    Impaired by her thorns
     Faint memories of her past-
       Forgiveness is all Rose asks.


Honorable Mention in the "Description Made Easy" contest by Mac McGovern.

Villanelle: Whose condition is the worst everyone asks

Whose condition is the worst everyone asks
“Mine!” “Mine!” “Mine!” - everyone’s desperate cry
Why the powers that decide wear such sharp tusks

Look at the basking billions enjoyng tasks
Then watch the hare-lipped cock-eyed shrivelled wretch sigh
Whose condition is the worst...
