Best Authentic Poems

Intuitive
with a friendly, caring nature, I am imaginative and spiritual.
I share my home nest with my older brother, adult son and soulmate.
I love antiques, dancing and spontaneous adventures on ATVs. 
I feel sorrow for humanity, but gratitude and love are my home emotions.
I fear ignorance,...

As a child my mother told me,
that I had a unpleasant disposition.
And I was told that I needed to be,
familiar with the Act of Contrition. 

When my full name was in use,
I knew that I was in trouble.
Not having an appropriate excuse,
I ran out the...

Authentic beauty cannot diminish.

Eternally flowering grandeur,
Her inner, jeweled kingdom: Love.

Matchless nature of personal quality
Radiates such that unknown viewers
Would xerox your zeal.

AUTHENTIC

There should be a doorway to love -
Some scabbard-hungry sabre to declare
What is not mine, is yours
Bawling infant of the bawdy air,
Trinketing loneliness into the poor’s
Ardent threshold set with jewels rare -
Beryl and ruby; a diamond lures
Only the owner and not the loved pair.

Be one...

Mirrored intentions
reflected projection
generators of energy
manifests creativity
true faces shown
beyond masked pretension
hidden behind walls
of self protection
honest communication
brings inner elation
freedom to be
who you are naturally
stripped naked to the core
exposed for all to see
strength and vulnerability
emotional bonds connected
relationships affected
personal truths rejected
expressing true interests
in depth exchanges
love and respect
for family and...

My love for you is ecstasy
Veracity, no fantasy,
With all my passion,
Forever bound upon our souls,
Delivered in delightful goals,
Pleasing our fashion.

A metaphor for a beautiful flower in a lovely vase,
Is your beautiful smile on your lovely face. 
When the stresses of life make it hard to cope.
I look to my “rainbow” who always gives hope.

You’re a woman among women, a natural world beater.
With strength enough...

Most of us have heard the quote, 
“as a man thinketh so is he.”
Thoughts therefore are a part of creation.

We were created to have purpose in life.
Our thoughts effect what we become here on Earth.
As created, we are our authentic selves by the thoughts of...

If your behavior is a reflection
     of what others say you are,
          you’ll behave as they like
               because...

Kiss me as you’d kiss a baby,
softly to show your love.
Touch me gently,
as you would someone hurt and afraid.

Hug me and hold me tightly,
that I might feel secure and protected.
Smile at me and laugh with me,
so I can see your joy and inner peace.

These are...

In times of old I’ve heard it said,
That all roads led to Rome.
Now like the beating of distant drums,
Our hearts are leading us home.

It’s not the things that we possess,
That reveals what we deeply desire.
It’s a longing for peace and serenity,
To which our spirit doth...

I hear again and again, of people searching for what is real,
But looking for the answers that they seek is like climbing up a hill.
Their truth and their authentic self, they seldom if ever will find,
If all they do is listen to others and never...

Quality Versus Quantity seems to be a reason for debate,
Although I don't know why or who would even hesitate
To set aside and place quality in a class much preferred,
Since quantity is a number and over quality, seems absurd.

When we think of friends, it's not the...

Why be concerned with transparency
People are blind, they really can’t see
With distortion and illusion in the word today
And bias and lies in what people say

Just be who you are, one of a kind
The truth will totally blow their mind
They’ll be so confused trying to figure...

I wonder what he’d say to me as we strolled along the way.
I think a truth he’d share with me, and here’s what he might say.
“It’s not a message you’ll understand, at least not right away.”
“It will always be here with you, although I cannot...
