Best Aspirations Poems

aspirations
dare we dream …
     have hope

families fed
children loved …
     worldwide

farewell disease
no more wars …
     just love

as Lennon did
imagine …
     such joy

They reach out with open arms

As I have been recently looking back
all these years I've been writing
it's filled my heart with such joy
made my life with such lighting

I have always loved a pen
in fact, everywhere I go, I buy one
especially love a uni-ball eye
Its ink just flows getting words done

Aspirations Born From Deep, Weeping Tears

In his land of anguished, slow dying moans
red-blood tides and dark demonic tones
dawns of heartbreak, desperation in graves
faint sad echoes that cry, please this life save!

In nightmarish dreams, ghosts of ghastly scenes
hideous horrid beauty, death that screams
vaults of agony, beneath...

All true logics be lifted of holy grail,,
When divisions of  human skills,,
Become well versed of love skills,,
Dispersing density of  human wills,,
Given to the infancy of holy grail,,
Human skills will be sovereign thrills.
 

All true wills be lifted of holy grail,,
For life’s Precept of...

Kind poets die
Bitter ones come back to life
Drunken ones have no life
Sober ones write novels not poems
Married ones write of great loves
Single ones, of love lost
Funny ones toss away their poems
...... and join the circus
My cat wrote a poem for a contest
........and Won
I am a...

My aspirations are torn into shreds,
Had wonderful dreams but nmow they are dead.

I tried and I tried to follow my goals,
But now all those visions are burnt down to coals.

I'm sick oh so sick of my failing so much,
The way I can't prove I am...

Upon a splendid moon I placed a thought of you 
Not knowing where you’d rest 
A notion of likeness to be my vision bright and clear   
Although my ambitions that may be far fetched 
In the heart of desire I etched my dreams
To...

Winter winds cut through me,
I'm freezing to the bone;
Visibility's slim to zero,
I wish I'd stayed at home!

Am I the lonely walker?
I feel just like a jerk;
Bills are pilin' on me,
Somebody's gotta work!

These tiny flakes are stinging,
Looks like I missed my bus;
My feet are frozen solid,
There...

I try,
a hint of good bye:
I knew this day would come, but why?

A kiss
not a “hit or miss.”
One that lingers long, then a sigh.

A friend.
Not just now and then,
but one who stays through thick and thin.

A life,
with no hint of strife,
one when over we wish...

My soul is encaged within ribbed walls
Bound by body as if shackled and tethered.
What would it wish if one could be granted?
To be freed from my mind, from my body depart?
No, that's not what I believe with all my heart.

Does it feel the intensity of...

Glow in the sunrise
Oh oldest lord of mountains
Warm our frosted souls

Aspiration.
Such a hopeful word;
A harbinger of bright futures:
Determination at its best--
A breath of fresh air

Until you're choking on it.
Each bite problematic.
Will it go down,
or will you slowly suffocate
one piece of food at a time?
Textures become the enemy.

Will this one go down?
Will it stick?
Can you cough...
