Best Beats Poems
Walking aimlessly through the woods
Searching for that spot we once stood
Pouring out my heart and my tears
Reliving memories of those special years
Red and orange and purple from green
Rich autumn colors, a sight to be seen
The winds of change quickly blowing in
With it a new chapter will soon begin
Not ready to give up, I can't let go
Where am I headed, where will I blow
Lost without you, what am I to do
Darling, my heart is still beating for you
My heart is full of unbounded love
Bleeding sacrifice and pain
Spilling over with devotion
pouring down like monsoon rain
With the vastness of the ocean
It beats out a warning cry
To ward of evil spirits
keep you safe till you can fly
I wish upon so many stars
To keep you safe my girl
I hold you close secure and warm
like an oyster holds a pearl
I dreamt a thousand dreams for you
I prayed so many times
I Told you tales of kings and queens
And endless nursery rhymes
I wrapped my heart around you
Gave you all that I posses
Now these lips strive not to nag you
when you make an awful mess
Your little hands and tiny feet
I remember them so well
I picked you up and kissed your knees
when time again you fell
Too fragile for this earth plain
So beautiful and pure
But while you’re here I’ll guide you
Hold your hand when you’re unsure
You’re not alone my darling
And even when I moan
Know I’ll love you till my one last breath
And I’ll always be your home
Although I'm little distant, I love you on this day
Because I love you more than I did yesterday
Come lay with me on today
Don't hesitate let's have fun and play
Each moment with you is spring time in
May
Follow your heart, and let it have it's say
Give me all of you, that is the only way
Handle my heart with care,I'll never stray
I want to be with you forever and always
Join me on this lovely and romantic sleigh
Keep our romance fun, let's roll in the hay
Let's be together until we're old and gray
My heart and soul is yours, and will forever
stay
New beginnings are always at bay
On this day I want to be your wife don't delay
Please say yes, we'll get married in Hawaii I'll
wear a lai
Quit thinking about all we have on our tray
Rest assured I'm ready to throw all negativity
away
Sorry I brought all this up on your birthday
Trust in God he is the potter we're the clay
Understand we can't do this halfway
Venturing out of our comfort zone will cause us to
be giddy and gay
With you I will take you hand down life's
pathway
X-ray your heart so it could be on display
You are my whole world, I'm happy as a bluejay
Zestfulness is what you give me, is what
I'm trying to convey

Inspired by Mike and Lin's ABC rhyme poem
My sister and I
She was five and I was eight
Walking home from school
About a mile from our house
Bang! She got hit by a car
What I remember
From then, till now...I still cringe
Watching her- helpless
Thought she died, how much I cried
And my parents; they were weak
Months of hope and prayer
Years- rehabilitation
By the grace of God
And lord...I know there is one
Her heart still beats in Georgia

Like melody in the warmth of a sunlit meadow
Like jingles in the journey of a sparkling stream
Like tunes in the twinkling of a moonlit night
Music comes to take you on a soothing flight.
Rain sings to see the peacocks dance
Sky sings in tune with the rising sun
Cradle sings to drive the baby's eyes into the world of dreams
Life sings when faithful love wins.
There's music in the pecking of a bird
There's music all over the world
Music fills the air with the perfume of peace
Music, to the palpitating soul, proffers relief.
Sing to heal the pain
Sing to cleanse the stains of disdain
Sing to challenge injustice
Sing to question prejudice
Sing to spread love
Sing to paint smiles
Sing with your heart
Sing for your soul
Sing to inspire
Sing to set the world on fire
Sing your life and let your story kindle the globe
Their
Heart
Does beat
Syncing
Up with the
One universal
Consciousness that exist in he
Resonating throughout the entire universe
Considering everything rotating in a circular twist, is how mass exist
Contemplating it with a spiritual twist comes when one takes it with a faithful risk
Vibrating entirely throughout the universe
Consciousness that exist in she
Is in becoming
All that they
Create
Shinning
there
Star
Love’s Power
It’s wondrous
enchants you entire—
passions hot
your heart beats
wildly with a true desire
for the one you love

Nature's Goddess
Through the meadows frolicking,
she wears dew drops in the spring
on her fair neck glistening.

As I lay listening to the steady thumping of his heart,
I can't even begin to explain how much he has become a part
Of me of my life of my heart
It began at the very start
My mind drifts away
When we first met on that day
His eyes his smile his outspoken yet quiet way
God I love him what more can I say.
Time has passed altho still only a bit
My heart beats for him louder and doesn't quit
Sometimes my tummy still gets butterflies fluttering in it's pit.
I'll love him forever you can
believe that .
I was so guarded so leary of feeling
My heart was on the mend but still only slowly healing
Little did I know it wouldn't be long and that heart he'd be stealing
My love would be showing brightly revealing
Tonight as we sit here in our home peaceful and content
The days roll by the happiest I've spent
No limbo no drama no one hell bent
Breathing deeply thinking how blessed I am that this is how my life went
After all my struggles and setbacks
The sleepless nights and all that my day lacked
I'd change nothing from this day back
For life wouldn't be the same my heart would still be black
My days are now some of the best I've had
Even the ones that border on sad
I wake up each mornibg now happy and never mad
Life is will remain good to hell with the bad
Pray, I await for when you would hold my hand in yours
I await for when I would feel the warmth of it
And just know
That somehow, the skies, like me, are appeased!
Our souls shall be forgiven, for whatever it was that
We did, it does not matter anymore
What matters is that we shall be granted an entry
Back to that place where the Gods reside
Where birds talk and where flowers read
Where butterflies dance and where lovers, like you and I
Take in lungfuls of sparkling dust,
Meant to have us fly high on ecstatic clouds,
Immersed in the joy of our well being,
And in the aknowledgment of our celebrated love!
Pray, I await, with the rhythms of misery pulsating loud in me
For when you shall tie my hair to yours
So that when the God of Doom would come to Earth
To kill the Evil hovering around,
He would see us, recognise us, as the lovers so in love
With each other since times immemorial and having inhabited
All the realms of the universe, in all life forms
And he would help us, to climb the ladders of purity
To reach safety while abashing on the rest, his weapons of doom!
Pray, the rhythms of misery are played in me by the demons
Who gather their strength in the display of the illusory Maya world
They tell me that faith can be shaken, that it can be false and misleading
That my heart can end up broken, that I can get shattered into pieces
As you might not wish to save me, by holding my hands in yours!
Pray, have I claimed to adhered blinded faith to the skies
To obey have I pledged, even if that would require
Being a human bait, a human shield, a human sacrifice,
But, if you hold not my hands into yours,
I shall turn my back to the skies
And I shall flee to there where souls suffer constantly
Without ever having any scope to even hope to be saved!
Misery pulsates its beats in me still
My belief in my own faith keeps it in place for now
My endurance is not limitless,
I am frail, I am bloomed, I am awakened, I am your conscience,
While you shall be my Existence,
Together, we shall write, for this Earth,
Its next chapter!

Cut your bleeding heart out,
And place it on the ground,
For all those to look,
Deceiving those around,
Lock your bleeding heart in a box,
And give it to those in need,
Hold back all of the tears,
Block out all of the debree,
But does your bleeding heart deserve to be protected?
Given and taken from the wrong,
The wrong notes and words,
That now make up your love song,
Shatter your dreams with your bleeding heart,
Prove the innocent of their hate,
Fall to your knees and expire,
As hopelessness always indicates,
Stay up late with your bleeding heart,
And discover the truths of your veins,
The blood is soon to run dry,
Bringing back all of your pains,
Your bleeding heart cries for my blood,
But you’ve already given it all away,
Wasted it all of the wrong,
Causing panic and then decay,
You begin to hate your bleeding heart,
The innocent can’t renew your soil,
It’s Your veins, Your soul,
That are running out of oil,
Cut your bleeding heart out,
And lock it in a box,
Listen to every single beat,
With it, you’ll never be lost
1. It's been years, months, weeks have gone by.
I've grown so much I can barely recognize my reflection. No lie.
Each day more, I've seen you star in less of my dreams and it made me glad.
I wrote a poem or two about the feeling of finally letting go of the best of me—you. My bad.
2. Mom drew the curtains today, I need some vitamin D.
She shut them back when she walked out, watching you ski.
My heart,
it beats,
When you're far and stops when you're near.
3. I thought I would have forgotten about your laugh, silly and cute.
Your eyes were ordinary but canvas worthy. Bullets of memories it shoots.
Your hands were soft as daisies, pretty as lilies. You'd stare at me as if I were a movie. Oh my.
Waves through my hair and entangle with mine under the moonlit sky.
4. I tried hard not to sound cheesy when I say you are my loophole, a bad habit,
A complete *****,
Force of nature, like the earth round its orbit,
Three hundred sixty-five days a year.
5. On a cloudy fall sky, I sat down in our favorite trees, penning down my thoughts.
Ink dries ahead of every word. Would you think I were cool if you saw me now?
Like a green leaf in a rainforest, a canvas stuck in a gallery, did I run out of slots?
Or am I like the river we bathe in when we were young, long gone and replaced. Do I still have a shot?
6. With you?
All through?
7. If not, let me go. I've got other dramas to star in. I won't be a second lead to none.
Can I
Go away, leave me alone in the cold dark forest, barefooted while she warms your sheets.
Hold me, let go, shunned.
8. Is she your forever?
Your seahorse?
Dancing to your favorite tune?
When I only need the source?
9. Your heart,
It beats,
Thump, thump, thump.
It's all for me, she feels.
10. About the poems I lied
Over a hundred, for each I cried
Thump thump thump
It beats
For you
