Best Comprehends Poems


Premium Member Poetic Predator

Take AI’s verses 
    and make them yours,
fake wisdom through 
   generated synonyms,
stolen from 
   the thesaurus of thieves.

Maybe there are no pages for
inkless minds 
   that lack creativity,
or maybe pigments 
   in their ink have no stability.

Originality comes 
   from an authentic realm,
so why become a poetic predator,
stealing this pain,
and claiming it 
as your own 
   testimony of healing.

Think twice when 
   you confuse 
      my silence as blindness.
I can see through
         those soulless words,
that hold no 
meaning nor insight.
You influence me to 
question if your 
   quill actually 
      comprehends the 
      depths of the 
      metaphors I’ve woven.

Poetry is not always 
    defined by iambic pentameters,
nor by syllables 
     and insincere irony
articulated as 
    illusive imagery 
     in your fabricated foolery,
as every stanza is 
    how a poet perceives the world, 
weaving words 
    into artistic confessions.

A poet’s heart is 
   graphically 
       bleeding upon 
             the edges of a canvas,
sketching sentiments 
    in shades of scarlet and sangria,
dipped in acute 
    amaranth acrylic.

You copy generated 
   text on 
    your virtual feed,
finding opportunities 
  to paraphrase someone 
       else’s personal prose,
yet remain ignorant to 
    feel their aura  
           from screens far away

FEELINGS


Feelings,
Masters of my destiny
Lords of my life
Strength of my dreams
Instigators of my actions

Burning fire you are 
Consuming my whole 
Being:
My heart
My mind 
My soul
My spirit,  
As you relentlessly
Demand: 
To be conceived
To be formulated 
To be understood
To be expressed!

A Herculean task it is,
I swear, 
Such an enterprise,
For how one could ever
Constrain, you, the unconstrained 
And mold you into:
Phonemes
Syllables
Words
Phrases
Sentences 
And still, retain 
Your explosive 
Dynamism?
 
No language exists,
So vast
So deep
So accurate
So supple 
As to pay justice,
To your intensity
To your desire
To your beauty
To your love!

Thus, having no
Alternative, 
I turn to the only language
There is,
The one that the 
Cosmos speaks,
And
The universe alone
Comprehends:
The language of 
Harmony,
That we humans 
POETRY name
BUT 
Even then 
To describe you
I AM UNABLE!

Premium Member Deafened Art

you can't break what's already broken nor forsake what's been forsaken

every love song is a ghost story ~ when velvet skies dimmed our glory

no one really comprehends ~ how deep into the core it descends 

cloaked with invincible clouds , afraid to let tear-stained ink pour and set

silenced tongues sing in solitude ~ knitting metaphors misunderstood

hushed voices echo amidst smoky lungs ~ tainted through deafened art

Premium Member A Question of Faith

How
can a
poet, one
who comprehends
the compulsion to
create; who mirrors grace
with the grace of words, lack faith?
The fact I would even need to
ask this question is, for me, more a
mystery than the existence of God.

Premium Member True, Moses Wrote of Righteousness

True, Moses wrote of righteousness, one based upon the law.
But Paul proffered an alternate, eschewed the tragic flaw.
Salvation based on works alone: a concept misapplied.
For all, not most, have fallen short; to live thus was to die.

The argument that he put forth: the wage of sin is death.
The proof that all have fallen short: each takes a final breath.
The second Adam changed it all, met on Damascus Road,
His work, reduced to rubbish, trash, and kicks against the goads.

A righteousness that's based on faith asks not who will ascend;
See, Christ has come down to the world, and faith thus comprehends.
And neither does a right faith seek descent to the abyss,
For Christ has risen from the dead, a point some seem to miss.

A right faith knows the word is near, there in your mouth and heart,
Components of a saving grace, the twain shall never part.
For if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is the LORD,
Your heart believes God raised him up, salvation, faith's accord.

For heart's belief is justified, and mouth's confession saved,
And all those who believe in Him are thus no more enslaved.
For there is no distinction now between the Jew or Greek,
For the same Lord is Lord of all, shows grace to all who seek.

But how then will they call on Him in whom they've not believed?
And how shall they believe in Him, when ears have not received?
And how are they supposed to hear, unless someone will preach?
And how are they to preach the word unless they're sent to each?

How beautiful, the feet of those delivering good news!
Not all obey what they have heard, Isaiah thus once mused.
"Lord, who believed what he has heard from us?" the prophet said.
But faith comes through the word of Christ, its hearing raises dead.

Now faith by works indeed is true, a point I must not shirk,
But only faith that's placed in Him, rests in His finished work.

(from Romans 10)

The Understood Meaning

Forget the world and listen to your heart.
No one really cares whether close or apart.
Only you only you can change yourself,
Be the golden novel chosen from old book shelf.
The indiviual created by providence is only you,
Show this to all not in a sense even one could have a clue.
Just ponder over your capabilities,
Strive on your failures taking them as your casualties.
Work till as it gonna lasts forever,
live as today only was the last rain of  life shower.
Keep friends close bt enemies closer,
Fight with friends but have sympathy for rival growers.
The day u reach at the top,
Just come back with a next better hope.
Night when you will fall down,
Wake up; smile with the mother earth brown.
Don't teach anyone a way to live life ,
No one actually needs your guide.
Life is as easy as you think,
Have the patience with which you can stand still.
To live in ,heart is the best room,
Dont wait for a bride or a groom.
My heart listens and comprehends me very well,
Then why didn't i try to leave this world of hell.

Premium Member Poetry and Reality

Poetry:
Sees the unseen
Hears the unheard 
Comprehends the incomprehensible 

Praises our feelings
Exalts our love
Glorifies our God

Describes nature
Expresses beauty
Gives wings to inspiration

Poetry,
The heavenly language 
That 
The devotees of the Muses use
For
To paint reality as our Lord meant 
Reality to be:
Divine!

Friends

Ah, life, indefinable concept, 
  The engine that roars, purrs or dies; 
Inspiring or damning or neutral, 
  Sincere or a tissue of lies. 

My friend, I must tell of emotions, 
  Crush adversity into the dirt; 
We should dance like there's nobody watching, 
  And love like it's not going to hurt. 

People say friends should hold hands 
  To show they eternally care; 
But real friends don't, they already know 
  The other hand always is there. 

I love you but we're not in love, 
  My soul mate who so comprehends; 
We need only be there for each other, 
  For such is the nature of friends.

Celebrating the Adventure of Advent 

Universal elegy grieves and yet embraces shifts of paradigm
New beginnings consciousness initiates comprehends and thus proceeds from
Illusion’s delusion collusions misconceptions in the irritating
Vortex whirlpool immanent void of false containment

Enlightenment modern postmodern retro visionary futuristic aspirations
Resound in dialectical rebirth rejuvenation germinate constructive 
Sense meaning reflect serenity’s tentative confidence that the
Agony of climate change greed warfare ignorance destructive apathy
Liberates fusion confusion necessitates Aquarian communication of

Antagonism’s polar opposites contradictions complements

Cycles spheres of influence of grave repression gravitate
Revolve resolve with pushing pulling moons in metaphorical
Orbital mental psychological initiation shape incidences
Synchronicities collateral communal reason feeling responsibility

Transformation of the global madness inhumanity conjoins
Idealism and the darker side’s fallacies of fabrication

Conspiracy of muted spirit silence violation fade away transform to novel script

Communication courses discourses concur in co-operation
Obvious obscurity in the blip of human race’s evolution delimits 
Limitations iron cages hopes for new time place of reason beyond
Laissez-faire and hippie psychedelic stream of consciousness afar from
Anarchy self-righteous slavery rebellion mindlessness

Big oppressive bangs big brother’s obliterating over-information with
Onslaught of technology fail and falter when simplicity and esoteric
Rationale comprise enhance encompass the necessary world view shifts

Ascent and ever changing climax revitalizes humanness thus gifts
Truth deriving comprehension from ‘objective’ communal subjectivity with
Intuition insight inclination outside from the rigid boxed conformity

Order may be found again in the chaos of our time of misrepresented bedlam
New Age Aquarius delivers acts upon fresh constellation contemplates the Universe

An Empty Tomb In Jerusalem

“ 1Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. 2So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have put him!”  Acts 20:1-2 NIV

There’s An Empty Tomb in Jerusalem,
Where Christ slept for three days;
Then was resurrected—
His Father above to highly praise.
He slept upon the Sabbath,
Until that Sunday morn,
But arose early in the day;
When victory over evil was born.

That empty tomb’s a reminder
That Christ is living now;
Resurrected from the dead—
By His Father’s power to endow.
He’s the only religious leader
To leave an empty grave;
All other religions are ‘works’;
Useless hope of heaven to crave.

That empty tomb is precious,
Because it is a sign—
Of the fact that evil’s conquered,
And very soon will be benign.
Man is given victory—
Over sin and over death.
Through the righteousness of Christ,
Each soul finds heaven’s hearth.

That empty tomb’s a mystery
That only God comprehends;
A reminder of His love,
And the mercy that He sends.
Because He truly loves us,
He found a way to recall—
All His righteous children;
A heavenward journey to enrol.

Pictures of a Good Father

When it comes to being a good father what do most young black men see? 
Can they picture their fathers passing down any legacies? 
Do they remember any male bonding or talks on how to be good men? 
Do they have any perceptions or even comprehend? 
Unfortunately too many households are single parent with only a mother in residency 
Caused by incarceration, unemployment and dysfunctional inadequacies 
Too many don't have a clue of what a good father should be 
As the father factor in their lives was one of obscurity 

But God is the ultimate father figure to each and every man 
And if you desire to be like Him read His words and follow His plans 
To become a good father you must examine the Holy Scriptures 
And hopefully you'll be able to obtain a good father picture
Now tapping into God's heavenly Twitter account 
And Facebooking the Gospel to see what its all about 
Fully prepared to formulate, cultivate and stimulate your spiritual life 
So that your behavior and way of thinking lines up with Jesus the Christ 

A picture of a good father is a man who leaves a financial legacy 
So that his children won't exist in a state of abject poverty 
By showing them how to save and how to invest
Leaving a fruitful inheritance and a full hope chest 

A picture of a good father is a man whose vine is rooted in a strong foundation 
And structured to lift him up in godly formation 
Respectful, resilient, loving, loyal and kind 
Of strong moral conviction and secure in his mind 
Knowing who he is and what he could be 
And having healthy relationships with every member of his family 

So if you're broken, bitter, angry and have any doubts
Seek God and a professional to help you work it out 
And i say this to all women and I hope you receive 
You need to let a man be a man to his family 
Stop disrespecting him and put your anger and pride to the side 
He is doing the best he can so work with him by walking stride for stride 

A picture of a good father is a man concerned about his community 
Who comprehends we live in a global society 
A man who gets involved and not stay isolated 
As we are all a part of this world that God created 
A picture of a good father is a man who loves and respects his family and community 
A man strongly rooted, striding humbly and secure in his spirituality

Premium Member The Suffering He Bore

The Suffering HE Bore

We will never fully understand the depth of the suffering
that our Savior bore on the tree of Calvary, 
nor the pain of separation from His Father that He wept through
during His prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane.

This Savior and Son of the Most High God we can surely see
what tremendous love for man he has shown, 
Yet we can only scratch the mere surface no matter how much in Him
that we have grown

How can mortal man fully understand the way our God 
even comprehends and thinks, 
His infinite wisdom and the understanding He exemplifies as He
grasps the problems of the whole universe while we have only the time to blink.

When the Lord Jesus left Heaven for us and came 
down to the lowly level of man, 
it is truly the picture of a King leaving His palace and
taking up residence in a large garbage can.

And what about His honor and authority having His 
angels snap to attention at His command, 
then in contrast His creation was laughing and scorning and jeering at Him
only to strike Him with the back of their hands!

He, trying His best
wanted the good for man to see,
that He is Creator God Who has come down
to man’s level and with him He had chosen to plead!

Oh, at times, I know with me
I caused Him to be wroth, 
while dealing with ignorance on my part
yet patiently He endured and finally I understood what He had to me, taught!

The Darling of Heaven as they say
came from Heaven to reside in the lowly town of Galilee, 
oh, won’t you hear His call to save you as I heard
and gladly chose and let Him save me.

Premium Member In Shadow of Raven

Constance-Rambling Poet For Contest: Among The dead
By John Moses Freeman

~It is said of Raven the dead are fed…
     she walks in death’s broad ways among the tombs…
        in the valley of  the shadow of death…
          she speaks, they comprehend her bequeath!

~But death’s Lord be also Lord of life…
        his paradox thus be life and death…
         death having become mercy, where is thy sting…
           what of illusions but  life vesting death's fling!

~Souls treading in death’s dark and shadowed valley…
     having become wise as the serpent’s part…
       making straight and narrow the crooked place…
         lift up serpent's cure on a pole for a space!

~Adamant be the particles of light’s truth…
     adapted to dark illusions of scheme…
       until their serpent's darkness be filled…
        judgment fulfilled beseeches grave's cruel seal!

~Raven darkness be sister of the graves…
     her serpent divided her from light…
       in darkness she proves the plight…
         for darkness comprehends not truth’s light!

~Adamant love betwixt is a fulcrum’s glue…
     transpires chaos to order as one truth…
       thus the shadowed sister of darkness plight…
          is approved of elect lady’s light!

~ Thus in the very essence of Raven...
      truth of her life destiny is engraved in...Selah!

Premium Member He Knows My Name

As the foggy veil drifts 'pon the vale
The moisture layer stays
Creating acoustic so fine
On the symphony plays

"I have a Father who knows my name"
He understands my needs
The longings of my human heart
In the morn's quiet He feeds

"And He hears me when I call"
My desires comprehends 
Draws me to marvel at nature
Its beauty has no end

He sends dewdrops' moisture daily
'Pon roses it descends
All my desires He understands
Each one he comprehends

"He knows my name, its written there"
Soon He will call me home
Human to spirit I'll transcend
I'll be at peace~Shalom

The sun has cast purple this morn
Now a deep gold it brings
Soon it will heat the good earth
Creating fall's wellspring
