Best Coerce Poems

A bright array of rainbow hues
      adorns the parchment now and then,
   and gives a glimpse of writer’s views,
         an image brushed by poet’s pen.

The yellow hues of morning sun,

 I saw no way- The heavens were stitched
I felt the columns close
The earth reversed her hemispheres
I touched the Universe

Because I could see through all the eyes of men, 
Pandora's sin,the sum of every joy and sorrow crowded in
I felt...

We get these hard hitting reminders
Of whom you are
In times of sadness
In times of powerlessness
In times when we are left with so many questions 

A memory
A few words 
Lyrics of a song

You coerce us into knowing 
That in all these things
In life and death
You are...

Hard edged (unreality) you face away from my immediacy (candour eschewing) inimically you parody, offering as nice the complexity of ''vice''exploiting even nature 

(as voyeur and narrator) your intention anethema to the nations, 
as you   coerce ''your creation'' encouraging over consumption, 

with a...

Just the thought of you
inspires me to heights
of grandiosity and elegance

You coerce me to create
writings, poems of distinction
indubitably perchance

How does this entrancing
energy transpose into art,
permutations of heights

drifting through ions
of transposition, toughness
circumcises deliverance

It's a mystical phenomenon
that's existed for ages,
from the inception

of humanity's ineptness
through the age of...

People say my anxiety is cute.
The way I wring my hands, stutter over my words, jump at loud noises, and blush easily.

The way I wring my hands, because if they weren't holding each other they'd be shaking, or even sub-consciously digging into my skin on...

I know you, you're godless like me, and to the natives We Are The Wandering dead. Headless in sunshine, blind in the wilderness. I know you, you're the sister of death that's true. Your red lips caress mine as I choke upon embers. I'm awaiting...

I am told to stay quiet
I am expected to hide
But how can I do that
When there's a pedophile by your child's side?

He sat there with me
Just like he does with her
Now I can't forget
All the pain, all the hurt

When I told my story
Six years after...

A loving child has touched my heart
with her cute smile right from the start;
I was stunned. A father - who me?
until this precious little life I did see.
She's turned my world inside out,
and has taught me what life's really all about.
How can a child carry...

Oh, to write a sonnet on my one true light-o'-love,
to write a song to make the warbling sing -
a melody that to your eyes would bring
tears of fond remembrance for your own true well-thought-of.
Oh, to flood ravines with bursts of spring!

How do I employ the...

Personal Worth 
Everyone has value. Everyone has been called for such a time as this to use their unique gifts and experiences to serve others and to serve God. But what are those gifts? And which experiences in particular? Some things we were born with....

This is the hard sense of it
The mythic falls apart
No Bojangle character in the story
The postmodern drama
Unfolds a new tragedy
I can hardly believe this was so deliberate
Yet no one saw the plunge into realism
Would do this
Would do this
And do it again deeper and deeper 
Excoriating...

In trouble, call His name 
He'll respond Your call 
Come in heart, live in you 
When you call the Lord is there 
When you call the Lord...
