Best Audacious Poems
an apology approaches awesome ambience
adverse advances amass at altars
academically aroused arcades are absolved
astonishingly abrupt adverbs articulate arduously
atlas awakens all around
arrggghhhhh audacious aardvarks attack aimlessly
(Dedication: For Xavier, Shannon and Zachary)

Allow fond times to spread fond fest,
Use joy to mint the witty pun;
Delight sure rhymes to dance with jest,
Attest bright hint in crazy run;
Caress the best in happy sums,
Indulge the flow of ever more;
Observe the zest that floods outcome,
Urge frees a glow of cheer that spores;
See in good times the puzzle prize.
Treat your sure gains with measured calm,
Impress deep chimes with fond surprise;
Make message plain in soothing balm,
Etch audacious the brave and true,
Set contagious your lovely cues.

adjourn the circus for you have a child,
who is confounded between antics and love.
her umbrella have been beaten by the cold,
she wants to be hold and touched, forever-fold.
adjourn the circus for you have a child,
your audacious face-paint won’t last another smile.
ludicrous like the monkey who belongs in the wild,
take you last applause to find; they all did it to unwind.
adjourn the circus for you have a child,
your heart seem to tick out of chance
as you glister the ludicrous dance,
she begs you, to alter your stance.
a drop of pearl escapes,
and travels over the ghoulish landscape
of fractured love and tainted frappe,
to find a telescope in search for hope.
but once again she is only to find;
your soul still colorblind.
audacious antic,
adjourn the circus for you have a child.
Today is your birthday my love
You are in the mood to celebrate
The moon shone brightly last night
Heralding beautiful sunshine this morning
In appreciation of a paragon of beauty
Born some years ago
Wonderfully and beautifully made
Enigmatic and tenacious
Determined and loving
Audacious and outspoken
Visionary and persistent
I wish you the best life can offer
You are one in a trillion!
Happy birthday my love
Ask for the best
Urge frames sure quest
Dream flavours fest
Aim for sweet smiles
Cakes baked with style
Ink tastes that pile
Opt for fond range
Use fashions change
Set sound sights strange
Charm spreads wide choice
Act with sure voice
Keep pulse and poise
Embrace fond treats
Reap joy you meet
Yes works the beat

Falling leaves of bronze, orange and gold
Trees burst in amazing surprise
Audacious cobalt blue skies
Days flow to equinox
Fruit lusciously ripe
Fog creeps growling
Moon’s howling
Autumn’s

The meaning of this seems to transcend time and space
As if elevated into the mystical world of beyond
The mind tries to trace this face,
through the blackened cold.
Alone, barren,
stripped the quick.
No longer hiding behind this monotonous façade
Feeling as if there’s no place to run,
no place to hide.
Here I am to view,
the people walk by,
bland grey faces in the mist,
of this,
this crowded city of decay.
But today,
yes, today, is the day
to pray to the wind
the Mother Earth,
because oh Goddess,
I am alive!
And I am free,
and I live, I live, I live,
I live to be me.
continuously lifted past this mythical Earth,
and transcended beyond into a spiritual realm.
Where I am an individual
with an affliction that neither be touched, nor moved, nor tamed.
And it is in this space that I call time,
where my movement, and my rhyme
set me apart from all the rest.
In this game, I am the jest.
My name cannot be ascertained or comprehended.
My confidence is contradicted.
My face is not commonplace
and yet I compete in this race,
of the mundane
and it’s all the same.
I cannot feel.
I cannot see.
This is what is left of me.
All that I must repress,
because yes, yes, yes
I am the jest.
Inspired by the wild horses. Keep dreaming. Be wild. Be free.
The wild horses called to me
(I shall be audacious and brave)

The wild horses called to me
They called me back to my dreams
To rise above these mortal chains
And be one with my soul again
They seem to experience a bliss
That we humans have forgotten
They know about love and loss
They know about freedom and longing
But they're never held back by boundaries
They kick convention in the teeth
They snort derisively at society's rules
And run wildly across every mountain peak
They accept their untamed hearts
They embrace their crazy souls
They know they only live once
They have this life and make it their own
They want us to be authentic
They desire our purest truth and essence
They push us to our soul's greatness
Our light needs to shine and be transcendent
Ah, those wild horses call to me
Even now, they remind me I am free
I run with them today, tomorrow, forever
Because I know I can do anything indeed
I am experiencing bliss
I will never forget my song
I embrace love and loss
I embrace freedom and longing
I won't be held back (anymore)
I will defiantly go my own way
I shall be audacious and brave
And be wild on my path every single day
