Best Defying Poems


Premium Member Defying Predictability
With hair ablaze
a jester unconfined.
I scoffed at the mundane 
its life declined.
My wardrobe 
a riot
a rhapsody bold.
Mismatched socks my standard 
stories untold.

In classrooms of tedium 
rules I'd defy
Grasping forbidden knowledge 
'neath watchful sky.
Craving for wisdom in 
esoteric wells.
Chased squirrels with saws 
casting fanciful spells!

Detentions for...

Defying Sensibility
Years have passed since I buried you
beneath green grasses drenched with dew;

I placed the blossoms, one by one,
a blanket for my only son,

you, my heart's flower, blooming fair,
a mother's rose, uniquely rare.

The bitter grief bubbles inside,
rolling hot waves, a searing tide,

dark desperate, wrenching prayers,
sharp, shattered...

Premium Member Defying Delineation
Rising from within,
bliss bursts on our skin,
furrowing each node,
played out as an ode.

Vaporised presence
ignites love's incense,
astride God's bliss beat,
vibrant head to feet.

Thus simply present
in this joy current,
tingle renewal
is continual.

Dance of bliss delight
at play, day and night,
churns to birth nectar,
piercing each vector.

Borne of cosmic drum,
magnetic bliss...

Premium Member Defying delineation
We are advised to show, not tell
but if the abstract be real,
to speak of when the ego fell,
requires us not to think but feel.

The light we see, when eye’s single,
may be pointed out to, not shown,
as when polarities mingle,
birthing rapture we alone own.

Silence holds cosmic...

Defying Odds
To take a risk and live trying 
  always resume positive thinking
    with reasonable doubt inquiring 
      making love instead of secretly dying
       
For what is life living with a...

Defying Gravity
Away behind clouds defying,even fighting gravity
heaven in juxtaposition
kites leaping merrily
now on pivotal quickening,reaching skyward
tailspinning upon very wide x's
yonder zooming.


I'd like to dedicate this to Andrea Dietrich for her always encouraging words
and comments on my poetry that are uplifting...I appreciate it  so much......

Defying Societal Beauty's Chains
In a world where beauty's confined,
To a frame, a shape, so pre-defined.
I refuse to bow to discrimination's hand,
Refusing to let it define me.

No more the shackles of slim and packed,
A revolution, where all sizes are backed.
Let every size find equal ground,
Opportunity for all, in beauty...

Death-Defying
Life is a tightrope act
And we were suckered
Into using unicycles

No training
No balance
Can't ride
Can't walk
No balance
Will certainly fall

The crowd cheers,
Or maybe jeers?
They can't catch you

Clowns point and wave
All a joke
They'll not even try to save

So very glad the Ringmaster
Foresaw this deadly disaster
I'm not the least afraid,
(It's...

Defying Destiny
every life has a mission
some will rebel
others are meant for submission
only time will tell
      mine is to extract
      rhythm from my soul
      to rebel and attract
    ...

Premium Member Defying Facial Mask
Amid disdain of society’s mask
That curse of age questioned like it was dearth
We hide real image, afraid to be asked
Allowing fashion to control our worth.

Youth’s potion sells high on retail market
Fools we are, wasting hours for vain signs,
Defying true beauty to walk the red carpet
Instead...

Defying Angels
Am I in hell or just in a distracting nowhere?

I just hate this atmosphere and want to go somewhere,

You talked so different and I can’t read you,

I’m so dissed with pranks and I so wanted to mew.

 

 

 

 

You’re conceited and you think...

Premium Member Defying Delineation
Silence ushers magnetism 
within our mind-body prism,
felt as a blissful current;
piercing of nodes concurrent.

Soma nectar within drips,
focus therein does transfix,
much to delight of our heart,
feeling bliss ignition start.

Beauteous dance enchanting,
bliss bubbles in us planting,
blossoming in timeless time,
as divine love mists sublime.

Death Defying
All I have are words to wipe the wakeful wounds away
All that comes are tears to keep them for another day

Love’s lachrymal layers that fuel the foliaceous fires
Ignominious increments of solitudes sufficely seclude
While drenching in dreams of the barbarous brood
Lamenting lucidly lost in dimly dismantled...

[SIZE=5][B]Defying Lightning Bolts From Ancient Skies[/B][/SIZE]

Walking in the past, down memory lane
Seeking courage there, prove I am still sane
Sharp sword of truth cutting through many lies
Defying lightning bolts from ancient skies!

On that journey, to find peace, in new hope
Perhaps even falling down a rocky slope
Aware...

Premium Member I Am the Blue Marlin

 I was made
To venture undulating time
 And chase the tides forever facing forward 
  Through glinting waves by unknown shores 

I migrate 
The oceans’ warm currents for 
Thousands of miles yearly,  continuing
Always onward, always embraced by water

I am
The mighty blue marlin mirroring...
