Best Characterizes Poems
You are scared to let go of the familiar;
the familiar has a feigned ignorance of making you feel safe and comfortable.
You dismiss the voice of reason,
because you are blinded by the sole thing that barricades you.
Be true to yourself:
“If you shut up truth and bury it under the ground,
it will but grow, and gather to itself such explosive power
that the day it bursts through, it will blow up everything in its way” (Emile Zola; 1840-1902)
You must find strength.
Surround yourself with what is positive.
Be strong.
Strength, truth and belief in yourself are the keys to unlocking
all that binds you.
You are a free spirit;
No person characterizes your being;
No person dictates how you think, act or speak;
No person controls your life;
No person except for yourself.

Amplified beauty characterizes deeply evoked feelings gotten here,
in June's klieg-light,
lighting many nation of plants,
quietly rendering senses towards utopia,
vanquished with xanthophyll.

Fourth celestial body from sun
A reddish color tone characterizes its surface
Living in a place when drastic weather rises from cold to warmer temperatures

If someone asked me, “A penny for your thought”
I’ll tell him, “Sorry! It can’t be bought”
The thought process runs like a train
Fed by emotions and nurtured by the brain
Said Swami Vivekananda, “Thoughts have made us what we are”
“Words are secondary, thoughts live and travel far”
Friedrich opines thoughts are the shadows of our feelings
Always darker, emptier, and simpler in all dealings
The quality of a leader is determined by his thought
Said Alexander the Great after the battles he fought
“It’s better to have an army of sheep led by a lion raising his battle cry
Than an army of lions led by a sheep that leaves everyone high and dry”
It is believed that the power of thought is the path to discovery
Never underestimate it, or your dreams will be past recovery
The soul of God pours into the world through the thoughts of human
And becomes dyed with its color that embodies his acumen
Bertrand Russell characterizes thought as subversive and revolutionary
Men in power fear it most as their style of functioning is perfunctory
Thought is indifferent to authority and defiant to the wisdom of the ages
It inculcates the sense of logic to the news around at all stages
The quality of the thoughts decide the happiness in life
Reining of evil thoughts will prevent further strife
We’ve created a vicious world in which we are caught
To change the world we have to change our thought.
End
L engthy devotion characterizes their craft,
I n pursuit of expression, subjects serious or daft.
C olors are primary, and secondary in hue,
K aleidoscopic pigmentation—various mediums pursued.
E ach portrayal a depiction, in figure and scene,
T oasting life’s many wonders, through visual means.
Y ielding the call, to artistically create.
S ince earth’s early dawn—mankind’s coming of age,
P aintings—time capsules, a powerful stage.
L ighting the way for historians old,
I nspired by human drama, millennia foretold.
T hrough vivid illustrations, painters continue to forge.
each of us in broken in some form or fashion
be it external or internal we all have our share and ration
the brokeness that characterizes the particulars in our lives
the brokeness that comes in the guise of daily struggle and strife
twenty-nine families became broken on that fatal day
in that West Virginia mine
the sense of safety of New York City was broken when they found a bomb
in that Square called Times
out-sourcing and down-sizing have broken our economy which is now in disarray
the brokeness of Immigration Reform needs to be fixed right away
oil spills, tornadoes and flash floods have broken some communities and lives
but the brokeness of our souls in the Garden of Eden was healed by Jesus' sacrifice
"Take this bread" Jesus said with thanks as He passed it around
"Eat this bread", it's a symbol of My body so that My spirit of peace in you will be found
"Drink this wine" He said with thanks "It's a symbol of My blood"
"Drink this wine in rememberence" that it's you I'll always love
we've been bruised and abused, we've been mentally and physically harmed
but by the stripes on Jesus we've healed and have made it through life's storms
He was pierced for our transgressions and crushed for our iniquities
His sacrifice, His crucifixion so new mercies we would all come to see
God's grace will always be sufficient to cover every aspect of our lives
God's mercy will always be sufficient as it was for His Son Jesus the Christ
we are broken and blessed now ready to give God all the glory
we are broken and blessed and that will always be our story
“Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.” Revelation 20:6 of the King James Bible
Though seemingly impossible
a perfect government can actually exist
since such is the 1,000 years or millennial rule of the Sovereign…
Imagining its verity requires faith exposure
experiencing event’s magnificence creates anticipation
since such has been prophesied; and will wondrously happen…
With “Thy kingdom come” as answered prayer
it assures saints' reigning along redemption of nature
since such displays vividly the Lord Jesus Christ in His glory…
Sublime realities worth cogitating await the believers
global unity prevails; wars will cease midst joy of genuine bliss
since such characterizes the holy dominion of the Prince of peace…
Extreme longevity to be restored
no need of hospitals then for sickness is removed
since such supernatural preservation comes from the Healer…
Infallible justice will be administered
devoid of social, political, racial, religious oppression
since such upholds unified worship in the Spirit fullness…
By the actual ministering to every need
all wants will be met; language barriers removed
since such is the instruction of the Master Teacher…
Engulfed with gratefulness and praise-filled awe
my heart keeps on trusting the God of my salvation
since such is my heart’s response to Scriptures, immutably functional.

Fiendish and gruesome phantasmagoric
denizens reigned horns of a dilemma blitzen deer
dwelt deep inside subterranean vault perform an evil dance
haunt psychic landscape with imaginary (yet realistic) vixen
gargoyle visitations that cast macabre trance
nocturnal unconscious invaders cavort and gallivant
disturb donnor party quiescent sleep
with devilish and sinister prance.
Apparitions crept stealthily into peaceful slumber receptacle
repository whence illusory landscape of dreams
take place to rejuvenate exhausted
body, mind and spirit triage
rent asunder blissful sleep with startled fright
cold sweat drenched nighttime garments and bedding
teeth chattered uncontrollably
heart pounded loudly inside chest
nightmarish phantoms wrought an awful ghoulish sight.
Mushroom cloud anniversary triggered
frenzied gargantuan hallucination
seventy two plus years ago today inauguration
into atomic age took place
one country after another sought
to acquire demonic and destruction devices
maintain self-preservation in surreal atomic weapons race
impossible to escape the dark threat
heir hilly looms and threatens life on Earth
one launched missile spells extermination
across entire global space.
No escape from humankind military machines
munitions march mean madness
and guaranteed demise to all life
*****Sapiens violent history of bias,
intolerance and/or prejudice
characterizes vicious warfare and chronic species strife
unaffordable legacy for future (and perhaps alien) archeologists
who will sift thru civilization debris with delicate knife.
Artifacts buried in a heap
of pulverized and radioactive ash
civilization monuments and hedonistic symbols
gone in a blinding brilliant flash
irksome flotsam and jetsam spewed into outer space
alien nations light years distant collect miniscule bits and pieces
offer object lesson as extinction
for beings become excessively brash.
I’m tricky, sometimes hard to recognize,
for I don’t rule ALL those with idle hands.
The Devil knows which ones are mine. His lies
provide them with a wealth of sinful plans.

Spectacular Vernacular
When he said things sounded spectacular;
Which would have to vary in his vernacular,
We soon heard,
When occurred,
And apparently appeared in each parameter.

During the hustle-bustle of
this festive occasion of Christmas,
it behooves us to find time
to turn our hearts to God
for the realization of perpetual peace.
Until now
what I thought was warm and holy,
Like the welcoming glow of a campfire scene
when a wisp of smoke spiraled up
from the trees
and the revelers danced around
in a kaleidoscope of light and shadows,
ended up for me so cold and hollow.
The mass hysteria that characterizes
the week before Christmas
is like a chaotic classroom
full of unsupervised hyper kids
when the teacher had left
to go take a phone call,
A cacophony of deafening mixture
of jumbled sounds
as if it’s but a week ahead
of the coming Apocalypse.
