Best Decisiveness Poems
out side here floating in wisp
reaching into aimless futility
holding fast to free falling tendrils
flailing in crosshatch swooping loops
melting like youthful memories
of dreams of yesterday that fester away to
yellow pollen clouds of disappearing dust
twisting into dark eternity
breaking concentration
shattering decisiveness
To catch your freely flying fears and comfort them
To soft caress your chill soft skin in sudden flowing warmth
Hold you close against the cold of ever waiting dark
This ever twisting wisp of nether
ever tries to loose my tether
as I reach in one more try
To touch your feelings
calm your soul
and make you whole
to soar and fly

In the halter of destiny, we are all bound.
A monody of souls dissemble and found
With every lynch of trice vicious hand,
We quest to the ossuary of the apex land.
Yet in this hoedown of life and death,
We descry trices to canonize our breath.
In the equidistant cuddle, we share,
We ascertain solace in the clad of despair.
Through brittle nights and rallying days,
We quest to unfetter from the maze.
Omega awaits to clarify our fate.
Ablaze of stinging anguish, we can't abate.
Inanimate entities, ephemeral, and plain,
As a ripple of anguish sways, weep in pain
Aside from that, the cosmic harbinger sky
Espies our destruction with a silent sigh.
An epidemic of metempsychosis,
We inherit the legacy of pestilence psychosis.
On hiemal days and hibernal nights,
We bear the stature of sorrow's bite.
In every epoch of fugacity,
We quest for repeal—a wink of clarity.
Bequeath and madness, we strive to overcome
Nocuous menace to switch what we've become.
We often embellish it as life is so anxious.
Our roots still hold the pinnacle to progress.
Decisiveness, anguish, and an urge to revoke.
Lead exposure us to a nonlethal stroke.
The dance of life and death is an exquisite art.
Delight and anguish entwine—never apart.
At the pinnacle of this poetic tale,
We ascertain that life's heirloom prevails.
Though pestilence and grief endeavor to bind,
We have the incite to bequeath them all behind.
So let us dance, with hearts bridled high.
Embracing the madness as we reach for the sky

Rhyme
My name means “blessed*,” and I am by God’s wondrous delight
Midst determination, dedication, decisiveness, and discretion as traits-might
I’m the sister of Rudy, Bert and Ming, my siblings with caring height…
As a Social worker, I cherish the practice of kindness, truth and compassion
While my heart always prays for vibrant, triumphant, and jubilant reaction
To conquer fears of separation, rejection and deception…
By faith, I would like to see miracles, mercy and marvels in my ministry
Right now, I’m a resident of the Pearl of the Orient Seas in Asian territory
My surname bears “greatness” and “magnificence;” thus, to me, victory…
Daily, my special son expresses his love marked by warm embrace
While foster children greet me with their endearing cheerful ways
Meanwhile, orphanage kids encourage me sweetly in this life’s race
Since together, we are a loving family in God’s nurturing place.
*Psalms 32:2 Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.

Light Verse
Masculinity - My Animus
Though female, animus dwells deep in me
with strengths of leadership and business sense,
in being ruled by productivity
in ways that show command without pretense.
Assertiveness, decisiveness occurs
within the realm of varied business skills
where mathematics flair robustly stirs
accounting chores, like income taxes, bills.
Supportive instincts move within my soul,
the need to organize and plan with care.
Investment and financial smart control,
with honed computer skills, help me prepare.
A steady love of deep protective kind
that speaks commitment and strong loyalty,
focused attentiveness, resolve combined;
these are the traits of animus in me.
My animus serves well on business side.
My anima, artistic gifts provide.

What's In Your Will?
Not everyone has houses or lands, gold or silver, stocks or bonds, IRA’S or CD’S, Cars or cash, insurance policies, etc. But that does not mean we have nothing to leave behind when we depart this earth. The best things in life are still free, and there can be great qualities in our lives that are well worth the leaving. So why not make a ‘None-Material Possession Will’, and describe from A to Z what you wish to leave behind. i.e.
A ATTITUDES THAT ARE GOOD WILL OPEN DOORS
B BOLDNESS IS STRONGER THAN COWARDICE
C COURTEOUSNESS IS NOT A WEAKNESS
D DECISIVENESS IS A FOOT- FORWARD ACTION
E ENERGY IS THE SPARK THAT IGNITES THE MIND
F FAITHFULNESS BUILDS CONFIDENCE
G GOODNESS HAS NO SUBSTITUTE
H HONESTY CREATES BELIEVERS IN YOU
I INTELLIGENCE IS NOT LIMITED TO NUMBERS
J JOY IS FAR SUPERIOR TO HAPPINESS
K KINDNESS IS ITS OWN REWARD
L LOVE GIVES MORE THAN IT RECEIVES
M MERRINESS NEED NOT WAIT FOR CHRISTMAS
N NICENESS IS BLIND TO THE OBJECT OF ITS AFFECTION
O OBEDIENCE CAN COMMAND WHAT IT HAS SUBMITTED TO
P PLEASANTNESS IS AN INWARD CONDITION OF THE HEART
Q QUIETNESS CREATES OPPORTUNITIES FOR HEALING
R READINESS IS THE DOOR THAT OPENS OPPORTUNITY
S STABILITY CALMS AND HOLDS EVERYTHING TOGETHER
T TIMELINESS PREFERS TO STEP IN AFTER READINESS
U UNSELFISHNESS WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU ALONE
V VIBRANCY HAS ROOTS FUELED BY MOTIVATION
W WILLINGNESS UNCLOGS THE PIPES OF STUBORNESS
X XENIA (Ze-ni-e [Greek = Hospitality] )
Y YOUTHFULNESS IS A ONCE IN A LIFE-TIME DEAL
Z ZEAL GREATLY AIDS IN THE PATH TO VICTORY

It seemed that I dared
To climb the stairs toward heaven
Effort over a millennium, or was it timeless?
A spiritual goal pursued in this endless universe
No pure maidens in the reception line
Just me, newly arrived, still in motion
Without direction, decisiveness, where to advance?
Torn between space, life and the ticking clock
While the ultimate brain conjured, matriculated, digested
Gasped, overwhelmed, in hypnotic fashion
Is it my arrival or my escape, or the inevitability of the day?
Some have purpose, desires and goals
Some follow their love instinct, or destiny
Some must lead and conquer
I myself motivate the everyman
Every grain in my body still demands freedom, choice
Every right I have to climb the staircase to freedom
But even if you dare upward to heaven
One must ask for forgiveness
As you leave loved ones behind
Leave your tools, though you still possess a keen intellect
Almost stripped down, a passenger, daring
With destiny around the corner, belief still questioned!
So up and up, isolated from all I had but my brains
A voyager, I risk life – wondering for what?
For posterity – they don’t care. Eternal honor
Soon to forget and superseded
So a risk-taker, plunked down my wealth
Accepted, aged, hope to bring sanity
To experimenter’s, ego drive, vanity and famous
Or just join a historic event coming for the advent of a new ride
Safety and terminal cancellation as Iast into the rocket
Now to please the leader, all a risk. Take off.
Observe the rocket into the hemisphere –good takeoff.
I am now helpless on the rocket airship to the Moon

Though poetic in many ways,
my other side also presents
good strengths in business skills,
and productivity that shows
command without pretense.
Assertiveness, decisiveness
take place in non-artistic ways;
accounting flair digs in
for undertaking dreaded chores
like tax returns each year.
Supportive instincts always rise
to organize and look ahead.
With honed computer skills,
investment and financial sense,
my long-term goals are met.
The rigid business side of me
helps organize my mundane world,
while the poetic me,
coordinates my soulful sphere
when poetry unfolds.

Adhesive seems to screen,
like a cage I found my being,
Imprisoned you!
Either intimidation or empowerment it slain,
Land in towns,...fence all over queen,
with one tree surrounded by forest,
Equiping personality negatively or positively in mess,
Stimulant to nerves,...shadow of tense,
Controller reasoning with thief of decisiveness,
Troublesetter good works fulfilled,
All on a pace,Yearning it boosts,
Holding key of routes,
Ladder of a wretched man,
Staircase to dreamers fan,
Dwellers in ghetto and slum,
Their Landlord,...Estate agent to tennants in a bungalow,
Serve as a crown made from amethyst,....and crown from hollow,
Defined with fear or enthusiasm,
Anxiety pinned to hope,hatred about scope,
Solidified by ground of pressure and disclosure,
Reliefs a contrite spirit,
Distuction underlying a smiling realist,
Every moment nailed to counters,
Figures outcomes converse,
Planet manipulated by force of attraction,
Born out from a mustard pest,
The overwhelming acronym of ADDICTION!

Dramatic Verse
Detaching myself from past experiences' dilemma
determined heart of mine denounces deceit-dominance
dauntless to soar despite distractions…
Devastated by dear Mom’s demise
distressed due to Dad’s despair over his darling’s death
despondent soul faced courage draining…
Demoralized with Brod’s departure from vowed kingdom duties
decreasing steadfastness questioned difficult virtue-demands
debilitating commitment’s diligence, struggling to defy doubts…
Despicable guilt-angst drowned my devotion
dampening service zeal with deafening “don’ts”
drying the will’s sap with demeaning failure doom…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Delivered triumphantly from days of despair
discreet spirit does cleave to God for His direction
daily yielding to Him midst complete dependence…
Dealt well by the Saviour’s grace to face such decade
dedicated indomitable spirit, propped with decisiveness
deterred not to deny my LORD Who secures me around His defense…
Driven now to ascend midst lurking detours
divinely-braced faith derails disorientation
drawn* to GOD for reaching-out ministerial delight.
*James 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.

as stark as the sun
in a blue sky without clouds
so raw our thoughts
when we are honest
so brave
so fearless
our thoughts
when we finally
decide to decide
we can run
as reckless as the wind
that breaks the ocean's waves

Free verse
You’ve ignited the fire long suppressed within my core
Recovered the since been abandoned personality of my youth
Become a constant in my tortured world of unwelcomed change
Pressured my close-minded thoughts into the space outside of the box
I do not Love many people
Often a time the word is degraded in meaning
By those whom lack knowledge of the full extent of its power
Casually thrown around in daily conversations not worthy of its use
You’ve inspired my growth with your unexplainable acts
Brought light to what I thought I could only know as dark
Treated my stubbornness with nothing shy of tender, loving care
Caused a flutter in my once steady heart beat
Love makes me uncomfortable
Creating sheer vulnerability for the brave soul who announces it
Rejection being an ever so present thought in the back of their lost mind
A fragile, delicate word holding the weight of the world
You’ve walked your way into my hell of a life
Willingly devoting yourself to the building of US
Undeniably changing my outlook for the better
Picking me up every time I fell
Love should be used with discretion
Only spoken if absolutely certain
And on this occasion you’ve been the reason for my decisiveness
So, that is why I Love You

I’ve dug a hole all the way to my inner-self
Beyond the sedimentary sentiment
Past the fossils of my past life
And I’ve finally broke through the hard layer of emotions
I’m sure the treasure I’m seeking is hiding in my sub-terranian subconscious
I just need to know where to look
But as my spirit rises and my journey’s boon glistens before me
An ungodly hand grabs the Golden idol and drags it
To the even deeper level of my mind cavern
The place where all the local tribes say the great beasts live
And the rope back to the surface falls
Slithers down next to my feet
And remains motionless like a child afraid of a beating
As if it knows what this means to me
I fall to the ground crushed
There’s enough food here to last me a while, I don’t know how much
I could stay right here and risk starvation
Possibly a team will rescue me
Do I continue?
The legend says that untold powers will be bestowed on the one who completes the quest
And finds the golden form of his body.
But the demons are also prophesized
Where death isn’t just painful but everlasting
Incarnate fear devours you for eons before the death you’ve fantasized finally arrives
Stuck in the dark
My eyes adjusting to the painful lack of light
I wish you were here with me
So we could intertwine to a higher level of harmony
And complete the quest together
One divine man and goddess
Opening our eyes to reality
Becoming the transcendental deities foretold by The Elders
Irony is what hurts the most
It’s a barbed blade
thrusted and twisted
Not into my body but into my presence
I haven’t completed my goal
I have achieved the opposite
I have earned living in fear of infinite pain and suffering
All while being in the vicinity of omnipotent potential
I cup my head in my hands
Scream at the nonexistent faces I see
Mocking me and pressuring me to see my faults and fall on my own climbing tool
I will continue in spite of them
I start to perceive the soothing decisiveness of it all
Either I succeed or I drop short
But this adventure must have an end.

Loneliness...!
Loneliness - the one that visits you in the womb,
keeps you accompanied, well past your tomb!
Brace yourself to that friend - once and forever,
shying away from it, you should attempt - never!
Meet her with elan and meet her with grace,
meet her with silence 'n' calm with a smiling face!
Remember, all those who came along were alone,
and those who come across, for sure are - alone!
We fail to take note and ignore that lifelong mate,
attempting to gain knowledge and chart our fate!
In this competitive world, we rush in to compete;
survival of the fittest and chaotic madness replete.
Surrendered single status to club oneself with one;
find oneself asunder with desire one's own none!
Running amok from pillar to post - none to pay heed,
groping in lonesome dark, only ruminating all deed!
Change of status, from spouse to parent and beyond;
yet, deep inside in loneliness - that incessantly hound!
Spot-on with her, the one 'n' only all weather friend,
with all time to spare and broad shoulder to depend!
Search for ancient wisdom in books or a wise Seer,
to steer through the course, though himself a wayfarer!
Discrimination, judgement and decisiveness imparted,
set to roll within - find anxieties and sadness departed!
Home-in further within deeply and look nowhere else,
in solitary contemplation - a state of thoughtful trance!
Seeking higher knowledge on that 'One Absolute Truth',
finding which, none comparable, will ever internally soothe!
Awaken and realise in that deep abyss of lonesomeness;
envelopes in entirety, with a sense of wholesomeness!
