Best Correspond Poems


Premium Member Nail Art

Nails grow long and shapely
Standing out against the 
Finger where it is filed
Down to a silhouette
That forms an erotic
Design against
The backdrop
Of fleshy
Fragile
Skin
Nail
Artistically
Colored with
Reds, pinks, auburns,
All the colors of polishes
Meant to reflect the glowing
Profiles of these well-rounded
Voluptuous digits that correspond
To the beautiful hand they are attached
To and are used to do the their daily tasks

Premium Member The Blond's Blinds

 In the shower one day was a blond
      The door bell rang, she went to respond
     She shouted "who's there?"
         "It's the blind man" he declares
          "Hold on, I'll open the door to correspond"


Seconds later she opens the door
                 "Nice breasts" he says, as she looks to the floor
          "Here are the blinds you requested
               They have been hung and well tested
        Have you ever had blinds here before?"

Premium Member Seeking Mars

Man trashed every Earth green zone, and now wishes to render Mars equally prone. Let planet plans focus from hearts, not wallet bones, that Mars may be left alone.

We cannot go out any door
to find peaceful people living pure,
yet some seek galactic lure on Mars.  

I cannot believe
some want to see Mars achieved
while our planet's green flows a bleed.

Stop wars on our Earth
before Mars’ power-feuds burst
from man’s greedy, battling worst.

Grow unity here
to heal the simple man’s fears
before he is whipped with Mars’ tears.

Fix our planet earth
before seeking Mars as other
cause to cruelly smother.

Or, better yet, corrupt ones leave,
please, seek Mars immediately
with good bye-byes from me.

Do not correspond
or report all going on,
just remain Mars-gone.

Premium Member Downcast In the Rain

                                           
        Rain drops fall fast, like flying frond,
      Creating ripples in the pond,
    It's pouring hard, just as forecast,
  I watch the showers spill steadfast,
Like waters gushing from beyond...

        Spurred on by rain, new life has spawned,
      Buzzing and croaking night has dawned,
   The sky remains dark, overcast,
			  Rain drops fall fast...

        With the rain, my tears correspond,
      Thinking of you and our dream bond,
    Your death has still left me aghast,
  Never have I felt so downcast,
Ignoring my slough of despond,
			  Rain drops fall fast...

Premium Member I No Longer Doubt, I Believe

I believe because we fit so well my love,
Love was foreign now you're my heart’s song.
You made me believe you're a gift from above.
Before you, my love my life was all wrong.
I’d listen to your confessions all night long,
I’m utterly happy to be your loving wife.
In your loving arms is where I belong,
I’m grateful that you are a part of my life.


My love, we mesh together like hand and glove,
I could never doubt our love, it's solid and strong.
You are so gentle and you don’t push or shove,
I’m so glad we met that night in Hong Kong.
On that sweet day loves wings came along,
I didn’t believe in fate until I found you.
Sweetheart in your presence folk just throng, 
I’m grateful that you are a part of my life.

All of your touches are gentle as a dove,
You take me to new heights, my Armstrong.
Life with you is more than I dreamed of,
I’m no longer a wayward vagabond. 

Honey, we have such a remarkable bond,
We’ve had ups and downs but not much strife.
My heart and yours will always correspond, 
I’m grateful that you are a part of my life.

Premium Member Love: "the God Precept Is Prior Cause"

An I am of Love is precept approved,
Doesn’t need approval of concepts' inept,
Doesn’t need the nod of man/woman, only God,
By precept of love’s absolve soul’s love is kept! 

Seeing Love’s being is uncompromising,
Not of double mind concepts non-comprising, 
Within one’s own precept love is the comprising,
Will be no rising in the mind’s compromising!

As yeast from the east, bread of life is apprising,
Pending only a few mind’s their realizing,
Of love’s precept which is uncompromising,
Where shall you be(?), at the precept’s advising…

In life’s ascension  of illusion’s mountain, 
Toward the drinking of your precept’s fountain, 
Of clear, free moving waters, life appertain,
Where forever love’s precept shall be obtained!

Since the very dawn of precept’s greatness of spawn,
Parasites of concept’s might, sought the abject wand,
Oh Judas concept, mind inept, precept abscond,
The Stubborn Ox, the metaphor correspond! 

The belligerent concept, of elder mind,
In complex darkness, is groping, seeking to find,
Within the whorish darkness first light’s refine,
Out of void of darkness came light, mind was blind!

Gods Moral Obligation

I may question your beliefs 
but my standard is not my own 

I can not trust my thoughts 
because my thoughts are not yet grown 

My moral compass points to me 
and I realise this truth 

but you fail to realise you 
also subjectivize yours too 

and everytime you violate the 
thoughts within your mind 

you may take two steps forward 
but it still sets you back in time 

what may be true for you may not be true for me 
living in expression is not a certainty 

theres a difference between intention and living necessity 
one exists by virtue the other sets you free 

sincerity doesnt determine truth its a mere way to abscond 
morality is coherence a truthful way to correspond 

when you rise above the chains of predetermination 
freewill then takes its place as Gods moral obligation

Final Departure

The only thing that hurts me so:
Your saying, "No can do."
I burned my list of painful things
And crossed the line for you.
I know you mean not shatter hearts, 
A noble deed indeed.
But sometimes fact negates intent
And crashes at full speed.

My love is not conditional, 
But I must gain control.
I must restrain myself so much
It empties out my soul.
Promise me that you will try,
A promise you won't break.
I'm not supposed to speak a word.
A risk I had to take.

I can't traverse back to that place
'Cuz I've been bad enough.
My friendship you will always have
As long as you hang tough.
I know not what you're dealing with
And maybe that's for best.
I can only sit and hope
And pray you pass this test.

There's one thing I must Post Script.
You know you're my North Star.
We cannot correspond like this, 
But I'll never be that far...

Premium Member The Lonely Oak

I saw him from afar, a lonely oak tree, 
both of his eyes contained such misery.
I wanted to know his story,he's a mystery. 
He looks so sad, I wanted him to be happy,
Our eyes met and he beckoned me.


I saw him come to life right before my eyes.
He was happy again, he took off his disguise, 
No longer hurt from heartbreak and many lies,
He was now free  from life’s overwhelming sighs.
  
That lively oak touched me right down to the core
We had a bond and friendship, I couldn't ask for more
I’m just happy the pain he carried, he no longer bore



His compassion and intelligence  just blew me  away
I’m forever grateful that I met him, it was a great day


Our connection will last until the end of time and beyond!




For he is now out of shell and is now a rare beauty 
He no longer feels that abandonment is his demise 
My dear and sturdy oak has nothing to abhor 
His mission in life is to laugh and just simply play
That oak is my confidant, our hearts will always correspond

Beginning of Everything

BEGINNING OF EVERYTHING 

Sleep comes as a welcome guest
Who assuages in some measure
The prolonged stage of pain
Within the straits of breathless grief.

The one at final rest starts a journey 
Beyond the narrow confines 
Within the dimmed space
Out to the open prairie of a sunlit
Horizon, unknown to those who 
Wait behind until their time
Of reaching home. 

They are present visitors to a finite place,
Where the hours rush by
Without thought for the future,
Before they too embark on
The adventure to a distant shore. 

The end is a beginning,
And signifies the end 
Of things which do not 
Correspond with 
The beginning of everything. 

Everything that was, is
And now is come to pass.

Mind and Sound

Only light can penetrate the 
darkness
that resides in the default state 
of mind
I descend from beta to delta 
through
binaural beats; instantly caught 
between frequencies beyond 
time 

I absorb amplitudes of acoustic 
energy
and I learn to just be earth 
Since I am the earth 
and because I am of
the one that is the source of its 
existence, 
I've owned the power of 
omnificence 

I realize now that I AM because
HE is since I am from that, a 
descendant 
Created in the image of a 
thought
and a feeling from the 
Universal Mind
I tune in to this vibration from 
rhythmic
pulse that manipulates 
subconscious minds

Immersed  between 4 and 7 
hertz;
brainwaves halt to a conscious 
sleep
All  chakras are aligned shining 
crown energy 
and now my consciousness 
begins to reap! 
and light begins to penetrate 
the harmonious beams
that were already there
constant and always there 

is now flooded with sound 
patterns
that force brainwaves to submit 
to power
of omnipresent sound that 
always was 
and always will be connected to 
the Source from which I came
so I extend exponentially 
beyond;
physical time and space

I long to embrace the intensity 
of gamma rays
I give way to the coded sounds 
that resonate from the inner 
core
and continue to connect 
through the binaural beats that 
-  
remind me of before

Always familiar but ignored
until found by gaining 
knowledge of self
I listen with the intent to excel 
while reaping an abundance of 
benefits and rewards
Listen!! 
It's already yours

Just reach out and grab it 
as long as intention and ego is 
checked
the universe will correspond 
accordingly
it will deliver a life to you divine 
and orderly
Just listen to the sounds that 
were there from before
They will guide to to the 
vibration from the core
and it will guide you to connect 
directly with the source

Premium Member Stranger

The flash of fear I feel
at passing darkened windows
or dim-lit mirrors comes
when I observe, reflected,
a stranger in my clothes
(or skin) and think:
is this the me
that other people see?
This ghostly image
that I know cannot be me?
Though its actions correspond
to those I take
in shaving, bathing,
wielding cans of aerosol,
surely I would recognize
this jaded, aging,
desensitized distraction
that the world
mistakes
for me.

The Gravity of Gravity

Gravity keeps our feet on the ground,
Stops us from slapdash flying around.
This force of attraction ‘fictitious’ gives weight
And makes all fall down at equivalent rate.

(Albeit in flights of fancy it seems
That gravity follows the laws of dreams.)

Relativity caused Newton’s view to shatter,
In positing spacetime to be curved by matter.
So objects will take a particular path
That must correspond with Einsteinian math.

(The upshot is bodies have odysseys
Appropriate to their geodesies.)

Gravitons, a gravitational source
Of controversy, are seen as a horse
Of a quite different color altogether.
But then scientists aren’t birds of a feather.

(Some sit upon their a priori-based fences
And come up with theories defying the senses.)

Weak or strong, short or long, what is this thing
Called gravity?  Wide hypotheses swing.
There are those who suppose that it’s this, others that.
Maybe someday, they all just might have it down pat.

(Meanwhile gravity, though we resize and shape it,
Will still have its own way— for who can escape it?)

The Familiar Phrase, the Windy City

I’ve a vast store of mem’ries about Chicago
as I’ve lived there for a couple of years
helping out in the parish of many immigrants,
especially Mexicans and Puerto Ricans.

I’ve made friends and a number of them
still continue to correspond by emails;
it’s like a treasure-trove of relationships -
where friendship makes a big difference.

I still remember when I get invitations
from people of other cultures in their homes;
their different cuisines and customs,
a great experience, a wealth of culture.

Chicago’s known for many attractions,
home of architecture with modern skyscraper
the neo-gothic Tribune Tower in the north
along with white Wrigley building in the city;
rich in architectural history, a sight to behold!

Its classic and modern architecture so far,
complements each other in visible terms,
with innovative ideas and creative designs
a special city with marvelous history.

Daniel Burnham, the famed architect,
designed the Merchandise Mart and others
significant to his life like ‘Paris on the Prairie’,
a tapestry of combined art of old and new.

Renowned architects with their respective styles
such as Frank Lloyd Wright and his prairie designs,
Louis Sullivan and his visible ornate facades
Ludwig Miles van der Rohe for modern styles.

Oh, Chicago, known also as the Windy City
so rich in history and its uniqueness too,
the time when a huge fire razed the city
destroyed lovely buildings in 1871.

Well, with the growing skyscrapers in the city
Chicago Spire, for instance, with its 150 stories
designed by a renowned architect Calatrava,
stands as the tallest building in North America.

With the so-called Trump Tower in its 92 stories
and then, Waterview Tower with its 90 stories,
Sears Tower, the skyscraper with its 110 stories,
that’s the only tallest among buildings in the U.S.

Oh well, this is Chicago in the landscape of beauty,
as a windy city, as well as a gateway to reality;
there’s meaning to trace back in history
there’s continuing progress towards this century.

Premium Member I,M Schack and I,M Proud

I do not particularly like sensitive or mature people. They can oftentimes be extremely insensitive and immature.    The problems with many contemporary women is they may be too frigid and too stupid. In many cases, these two problems correspond.      It is not that I disapprove of same sex marriage.  it is just that I may disapprove of marriage, altogether..           Angry ladies, or anyone, may need a stiff one.....and I do not mean an alchoholic drink.     In regards to my preferences. I do not like prissy boys nor sissy girls and I really cannot tolerate prissy girls, Or for that matter prissy guys. I prefer my women to think and act manly enough, anyway. Does this this make me a gay guy in a straight guy's body? Oh well.     Many women would not be caught dead in bed with me. For me, many of these ladies are dead in bed as well as dead in the head, or sometimes even in the heart.         be forgiving of every human being as best as you can. it may seem easier said than done. However, it may be easier done than said.  walk the walk, don't just talk the talk. 2017.
