Best Contest Life Poems

Listen, my fellow dreamers, 
But listen with your heart,
And hear the silent music of which we're all a part.

Cover your ears, my dreamers, 
Lest the worldly tunes drown out
The inner magic symphonies of what life's all about.

Listen, listen, listen,  
And hear the song of...

Recent experiences in my life have impacted on me greatly
Tell friends and family that you love them - it’s too late when they are gone
Grab every opportunity in life - you may never get a second chance
No one is perfect,  we should learn from...

The complexities of life colours our world
We are taken on a long and sometimes complicated journey
Like being on a roller coaster where there are many twists and turns
No day is ever the same - it can be a smooth or a bumpy ride
Thankfully we don’t...

Life as a maypole, is an interesting theme
where schemes we might plan can get tangled with dreams 

The things I had dreamed of, to better my life,
would often get tangled, with wrong versus right
Some streams of the ribbons, were shadowed with doubt
The world was an...

Yesterday’s a Golden Urn that holds
The nectar of life’s fruits, both sweet and sour,
Devoured and gone. Let memory recall
The varied tastes enjoyed then stored away
Within the Golden Urn of Yesterday.

Today’s a Golden Plate piled high with life,
Held out for us to eat its wondrous fruit;
To...

Birth: the first step to journey’s end.
We cannot travel and pretend
That our paths will be all straight
And leave the helm to luck, not faith.
There will be chasms full of gloom
Where evil spirits hide and loom
The eerie feelings forecast doom
And wide-eyed flowers do not bloom;
There will...

We watched Gone With The Wind,
at Christmastime-  it was a tradition each year;
with my mother and we each had a tear,
I used to not like the movie that much;
but in time this awesome movie my heart did touch,
with scenes that have ever stayed in...

I had tea under a balcony,
and admired the roses
cascading down
graciously 

A lone lily
awaiting water...
I breathed in its cool fragrance
before leaving 

By mistake 
I left my coat
draped like an "el" on its side
over the white chair

The servant said she saw a tramp
with it two nights later,
and...

haven of flowers

   gyrates through a bee’s travel

      nectarines  reward

        the fertile dance of bloom’s life…

 weaving  sweet nature’s puzzle.

The web of life, so beautifully woven
by ribbon paths of which we've chosen.

The colors, then so stunningly enhanced
when we answer the call to join the dance.

Each part important in the grander scheme;
a miss step could crush others dreams.

In dance we cross the paths of others,
becoming...

I AM THE WAY....

Jesus said, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life
No man cometh to the Father but through me
He also said, the wages of sin is death
But there is hope for beyond eternally

Choose Life by the conqueror of death
The One who arose...

Life Is A Puzzle


Life is a puzzle;
mixed shapes of loss or reward.
Haven of flowers
or dry fields of trying times,
we try to place our pieces.

One day all will fit.
Through our trial and error,
curve fits into curve;
varied shapes are interlocked...
our life masterpiece, complete.

Life Is Like A Maypole.
In our spring, we are born; 
our dance begins as inter-woven events 
and experiences build our future.

Blood-red trauma,
wraps itself around our happiest moments…
it never wins. 
Always uplifted by orange-joys, 
winding ribbons, we heal a bit.
Intermingling emotions are etheric ribbons;
round and round,...

Kash
Dream weaver,lover,poet,engineer
Son of earth,sky,water,air and fire
Lover of rainbow,children,poetry and machines
Who feels romantic,poetic and sometimes nostalgic
Who fears of forgetting falling in love,being misunderstood and being called mysterious
Who would like to visit the other side of the moon,his childhood days again and your heart
Resident of milky way

A Farewell To Arms


I was expecting our first child.
   Catherine, in love with Frederic,
was also happily pregnant.

She awakened unexpected, 
   strong, deep, overwhelming
maternal feelings inside me...
   I felt how she felt...the love...
the fears, the anticipation...
   and those...
