Best Constrain Poems


Premium Member tell the night to hold me -
I made for you, a castle
but I built it in the sand
I steadfastly tried
to constrain the tide
but the bastions didn't stand

I planned for you, an Eden
with needs to see us through
but the ripened fruits
had corrupted roots
and I fed them all to you

Premium Member Hopeful
Time to go home there’s that cursed bell
Excitement for most - for him an impending hell
A torturous journey - that takes him down life’s dark path
His old friend ‘Panic’ enters causes a disturbing wrath

‘Humming the blues - got to choose - life or pain -...

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...

Premium Member The Power of One
The Power of One

Slowly shadows devour the day’s light,
The silhouette of fear draws breath 
From the soul left gasping,
A firestorm of fury gathering,
Like mists of plagues escaping
From an ancient land of sand and tombs
With locusts warning of hope’s starvation
To escort the darkness rising 
Turning pleas...

Premium Member Death's Courting - Constanza
Though I have no wish to die now
for this moment I feel much joy
ah death it courts me being coy

A time may come I know not how
yes endings have a fatal lure
and death like life can be demure

when sorrow rings my ashen brow 
and springtime's...

Creating a *****
On the bank of the James River,
Virginia Colony, 
a proposal was conceived to constrain the African fire.
The ploy, a real achievement in the West-Indian settlements.
In Rome, bodies were paraded along the byways, 
to make a statement. 
My Massa used ropes.
We dangled by our necks like...

Premium Member Rainy Autumn Night
Rain gently falls this autumn night
    Her thoughts caressed in misty flight
 As she walks on the lonely lane
 Shadows cast a ghostly refrain
  There's not another soul in sight

 These peaceful vibes bring her delight
  This quietude, a welcome...

Judgment
“But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed.”                ...

Premium Member Once In a While
Once in a while we both may smile
In ecstasy of love’s beguile
Pondering down memory lane
In delight of the loving game.

Do you feel flames of love again 
In that burning, yearning constrain
Seeing us sat upon a stile
Once in a while we both may smile.

A kiss betwixt...

Conventional Wisdom
Conventional wisdom means:
Compliments
Smiles
Artificial flowers
Restraint and order
It’s like an English garden
Trimmed and accurate
Where nature is masked
And curves are beaten
It’s like an artificial flavour
Disguising the sweetness
Of the fruit
To constrain, to restrain
To hide, to abstain
Conventional wisdom is
Quiet and nice
Polished and wise
Yet sometimes like volcanic
Magma the feelings burst
Out unconventionally
Proclaiming...

Premium Member Grow Not Too Tall
Grow not too tall nor so far away son
Plant not your tendrils deep in new ground
Thinking newness your past can now outrun
Stay in touch let your heart remain homebound

Tree too tall without deep roots falls subject
to any strong wind, let those roots remain
Planted in truth...

A Winning Campaign
In eternity past, God would ordain
a place to which Satan would appertain.
Darkness ruled in this void and vile domain 
wherein grief, grudges and greed were germane;
addicted to force, would Lucifer wane?

Outright rebellion goes against God’s grain, 
His plan called for a selfless Savior slain.
Demons tried...

For All Things There Is A Purpose
Written: by Miracle man

My morning quiet time, always conduces creativity,
This endeavor precludes, each day’s passivity.

Lingering health issues, continue to constrain,
Being unable to do much, causes me mental strain..

But my life wasn’t spared to just sit and whine,
My days stacked...
