Best Claiming Poems

Claiming

In the gathering darkness
The land opened its mouth wide
To swallow all the wind
You boasted
To swallow up all the ill-gotten gains

Darkness devoured your face
And adopted your greedy soul
Dancing wildly were your limbs in the air
Like a puppet pulled by Satan

Blowing over my ears was the wind...

I claim my Egyptian heritage of
Love, rivers, healing
Geese fly high above our pyramids 
Those rocks moved with magnetic
music
Light cascading through space
Thoth dances above our crowns

I sway beneath Amun-Ra
She-He caresses my auburn hair
a deepening of irises 
it was my thunder and
my own blistering hands
Nile flows freely...

this period of my life is my period of reconstruction
i seek God for advice instead of those of this world of overt opinions
yes there are intelligent ones to whom i am lead to seek advice from
however when i need the most essential tools to rebuild...

Claiming Fate, Dark Fate Gifts, His Sad Afflictions

They forced him, build sandcastles on barren beaches
They were his addictions, those beautiful leeches
Saw his false shadows, like hell he resented it
Ripped his true heart each damn time he presented it
Fat with soul-wrecking love, they bleached his weary...

CLAIMING OUR BIRTHRIGHTS HERE…


Water breaks to freedom,
Flows and seeks its  own level:
Rebirth is as hard as crucible steel.

Emerging from the cocoons
Of our distributions,
We voyage backwards
To the womb of our beginnings.

Spreading our dreams on the levees
Of hope---our souls anchored in waters of faith,
We step on...

Giving thanks
for insight
outside normal space
grows more grace
than taking from fertile Earth
without gratitude
thoughtless everyday attitude.

We give thanks
gathered here today
for all God's edibles
and ornaments
surpassing even sacred platitudes,
obscure beatitudes.

I give thanks
for this our timeless gathering
of family
proclaimed, not defamed
together more holy felt
than severed when apart.

Taking from Earth
without gratitude
heartless attitude
slow...

claiming to have the poets eye,
that when upon looking at the world,
your vision goes beyond the sky.
to see the formation of clouds,
the birds singing,
the insects disappearing.
sorry, sweetheart, thats no poetry of mine.
i see the loneliness,
the cold brush of wind that cuts egos like knives,
blistering tears...

Fame means part of you
Maybe all of you
Belongs to someone else
Someone vicarious in their intent
Insatiable given their adulation
Proprietary, 
Eschewing personal risk or harm
Watching from the comfort
Of either praise or blame
They claim your soul like a 
Racehorse
When you win their hearts
Leaving your memory abandoned
 —when dissident...

Often a parent cannot know
What seeds of anguish they do sow
When a name on offspring they bestow
Teased by army pals whilst abroad
Oscar ,became Claude !
This soldier, painter ,who changed his name,
Later found world-wide fame;
So if you find an Oscar Monet, today
Keep it safe,don't throw it...

this world, connected by signals
cell phones, towers impregnated by vibrations
mild colors, flames rising from the hopes
hues stolen by the edges of a heart,
who hears the wind in the trees, the struggle
the need of raindrops, poignant 
stroking the last of the moments before
Helene spoke her war...

Claiming Territory 



Amongst blades of grass
Stubborn weeds 
Spread adamant seed
standeth  proudly 
In its glory 
From its lips it utterth 
A song
Several generations strong 

A mirror of the sun 
Yanked from the earth
The mother birthed 
It , too, bleeds 
At its core
Where it’s heart beats...

No one 

Can claim wisdom

Save

By God's grace!

The Decimals Point 
David J Walker

Therefore 
	He put forth
Before 
the court 
Of public opinion could
Possibly adjourn 

Claiming to be friends
With the man in the moon

Claiming to be the father of
The color purple 

Claiming to have taught 
Pterodactyls to fly

Claiming to be a
Grandson of Methuselah 

Claiming...

A tale of strength, of fierce desire,  
From ashes of despair, they’ve learned to climb,
