Best Benevolent Poems
Lovely blossoms of bougainvillea
Under a moonlight serenade
Ostensibly I contemplate the root
Of the affinity drawing me to you
Abiding fighter and bounteous lover
Rendering your essence freely
For the love of the gift
Candid without a care
Asking for less than nothing really
A few drops of water enough for sustenance
You have no scent nothing to call your own
Or to flaunt your offering
Subtle faint understated and low-key
Waiting to be discovered
To be loved and treasured
Simply for what you are and...
Not for guiles ruses or ploys
Swaying silently you wait as I
In the moonlit summer breeze

God can be vengeful but he's mostly benevolent.
He helps us when we're down, he is magnificent.
God kept one of my relatives safe in Vietnam because of people's prayers.
God will never forsake us and he loves all of us, he truly cares.
It's like the money says, 'In God We Trust'.
God is wonderful and he's always there for us.

blue amnesia vibe
consumes me to Forgotten
Matriarchal Thoughts....
The big heart of the person who cares, gives and receives.
The caring of doing without being told, the goodness of his deeds.
The pleasantness of his tranquility prevails carrying him his love.
The love that person has goes without dues, for they ask for nothing.
The compassion's takes him or her to heights unknown, though rewards
Are few and far between, for instilled into them are good paths.
Its just what one has been taught into them knowing right or wrongs.
Mothers and fathers, nourished them little and growing. the praying kept.
The praying just what you or I have asked for in a person.
Yet the smile he or she carries exemplifies, willingness.
He or she, the unsung hero inspiring and right over your shoulders.
You just never realized they stood right behind you right all along.
The praying of a hero, benevolent what you just have searched.
That's a true hero and the coming of an age of a hero leading.
The benevolent factor weighs in, carries today and for life all without ending.
Recanting those memories that we have had,
Is all I wanted to do;
But, I could feel that they had entirely subsided
Deep into my heart,
And I feel it will hold the whole life through.
Amidst the turmoils in life,
I still have those memories;
As if they really had aggregated within,
Yet, I wish time helps me to extricate,
Like a shooting star, hoping to vanish somewhere.
No more pains, no more tears
Are all I could wish;
Because, I really love you that much,
Although it hurts me,
I need to let go and set you free.
Day by day, I storm heaven with prayer,
That we'll both find the real happiness;
Happiness that is separately in our own,
And only heaven knows,
When our hearts meet again, never or soon.
You must need to know even just through a dream,
That I really need your help;
Please, come just like a soft and gentle blow of wind,
And do whisper into my ears,
That I need to be happy; since, God knows what both of us is best.
Come and tell me that you also fervently pray,
That someday, somehow this emotional rancor of mine;
Yet, benevolent will soon be compensated,
By someone who will really love me,
Love me even more than what you did.
We started up this charity when
We heard of the hedgehogs plight
There’s twenty thousand creatures
That get flattened every night
They run across the tarmac
As they head off to the wood
They never see the cars because
Their eyesight’s none too good
For hedgehogs are not clever
On the highway they can’t hack it
So we’d like to fit each one of them
With a bright fluorescent jacket
And then as we sort their clothing
And we’re measuring their chest
We can get our own optician
To perform an eyesight test
We’ll fit them all with spectacles
Glued on, so they don’t lose ‘em
And likewise with the jackets
They’ll have no choice but use ‘em
So please donate some money to
This worthwhile undertaking
It won’t be long, you’ll surely see
The difference we are making
The patriot to white and red,
The shade of eggs in robin's nest,
What blood looks like before it bled,
And heaven's vast summery dress,
The juicy iris in your eyes,
And icy moonlight so serene,
Known by all as the sun doth rise,
And lives within purple and green,
The brilliant paint on newborn's walls,
Life of sea in islands tropic,
A friend to Jay from spring to fall,
And I still don't change the topic,
The brother to red and yellow,
Oh blue, you are quite the fellow!
For the COLOR contest...
i now become one
with benevolent freefall
never coming down
sharing a slice of pizza
sharing our dreams like a butterscotch milkshake
all out of napkins
bathroom paper towels as a substitute
waterfront booth vibe
barry manilow made it through the rain again
air supply is always all out of love
christopher cross does the best he can do
we prefer blessing the rains down in africa with toto
this is how we....come out of the closet and free ourselves if you will
what color....rear window definition
we just don't give a damn tonight
we are just enjoying being honest in that free spirited sort of way
we pay in starbucks....moonlight feels right as happily blow it all sky high as if we just complete the most difficult jigsaw puzzle
how long has this been going on....for as long as an ace accrues
being that we are both the adventurous types, lets take an elongated joyride via the chicago transit authority and colour each other's world....with pleasure....of each other's company
Spring is coming, chasing the snow and ice.
My favorite plant thrives in heat, well-known.
Her blossoms, a symbol of sacrifice
for the winter's harshness, she will atone.
Sturdy perennial, roots grow and spread;
she turns her face to the sun when full blown.
Extra fine feature of each prime flow'r head
is infinite, edible seeds, homegrown .
The Dutchman, Vincent Van Gogh entertained
to paint many sunflow'rs oft overblown.
Less known facts, national bloom of Ukraine,
Kansas' state blossom , a smell all her own.
Sunflow'r, a symbol of sacrifice shown
I save some of her seeds to be resown.

contest: Your Best Sonnet 2018, John Hamilton
I am never alive on a Smile's Journey
That is how I take pictures through views Spritually Presented
The Art through Her Eyes breathes rehabilitation into my wilted assurance
The Sun Shines reflecting perfectly in the Mirror of my Forward Motion
I swim in a sea of never before seen in scenes
that make make me feel a type of Serene
that positively effects the reilluminated sheen
that feels so invigorating, crisp and clean
The Beautification of the Waters Power of Upliftment is like YES!!!!!
in extraordinary snowflakes of Profound Exclamatories.....
She looks Alive in Her Resurrection Sundress,
and She sows the seeds of Light Renewed
Omission and oblivion are relatives of loneliness and misanthropy
Blue and grey are confidantes of depression and its lingering gloom
The blood of the Sky Blue Phoenix drops Tears of Innovative Healing
Life can be the cursive endoskeleton of the exoskeleton of a criminally unsen manuscript
As She Spins Benevolent Renovations in Her Resurrection Sundress.....
benevolent truth
sat next to me
on a couch
spotted in red and green stars
our freinds suround us
some around the pool table
a complex muddling of voices bombards the oncoming music
as it crawls up the rigid wooden stairs
and with all intents to greet the poster above our heads
of a turtle with a banjo in its lap
and large tie-dye letters
that spell out the name of my favorite song
the same song
being blasted by the slightly intoxicated band downstairs.
Good people usually come together
whenever their friends are in stormy weather.
Benevolent people willing to lend a hand
are always in great demand.
To help the poor,
helpful people open the door.
They do their best, and much more.

Benevolent

I once knew this man, who was quite benevolent,
But began showing signs of becoming malevolent;
His heart brimmed with hate,
He became easy to exasperate.
Since his passing civility is much more prevalent.
