Best Destines Poems
Out of a hat I just pulled you from the grapevine
hanging flower of flowers petals beg to kiss
In one taste bursting flavors of fruit
drunken wine of everlasting beauty
Just licking lips blushing desire
one bite addicted you're the apple of Eden
Finding paradise that was lost fate plays a vital hand
alone outside of this world it controls destines gate
Within regal dreams an angel touches the heart
where a soul flies uniting together shines one bright light

I wish I never fell into your abyss
Wish I never dared to meet those enticing lips
Wish I never felt your heroin kiss
That had me floating, cloud nine:
The ultimate bliss
I wish I never laid in your bed
Settled into the crevices of arm and chest
I wish I never gave in, to the chemical mess
When it left decades of pain, just to suppress
Our passion; a ball of fire, crashing into a wall frozen
Shards of ice, shot into fragments,
through the air as a token
Of what two powerful people can create,
when energies start exploding
There our lips fused,
while icicles came crashing around the broken
Two people, dark histories.
Instant connection and pull, automatic bondable
I was forced to be with you,
through destinies designs and obstacles
I just tripped over you,
we fell into each other, it wasn't optional
The invisible rope dragging us as one, was unstoppable
To this day 17 years on,
I still feel the zap of the current to entwine
I understand now because,
even though parts of us were sublime
It was chaos in your home,
with our auras, trying to unite
We just bought the house down,
back when you were mine
But no other connection,
fired and froze my soul, this way
Acceptable or dreadful, wrong or right,
I can't forget your face
I wish I could neglect you.
I wish you peace, but faraway
It's hell knowing we have this,
still, till this day...
I wish God could stop me missing you,
with every step I claim
I hate having to care for you, cringe,
at the sound of your name
I don't wanna vent to my friends,
because we can't communicate
Bore them with my agony and anger.
I need this to dissipate
I wish, we didn't miss each other
from over a decade,
of a thousand yesterdays

Live Life To The Fullest, Dare To Be Brave
Live life to the fullest, dare to be brave
Birth destines us unto the lonely grave
Between that moment that first gasping breath
Comes a bevy of gasps until our death
Shall we seek much more, stirring well life's stew
From heart and soul, ask for wisdom anew.
In that dance, upon sweeter seas set sail
Knowing knights never find the Holy Grail
In that knowledge accept Hope and its glow
Measure your true worth, live not just for show
Fight the world, attack its savage decrees
Speak, write, and plead your prayers on bended knees.
Wake to morn, rejoice in the break of day
If lost, strive to proceed another way.

Sonnet
Mammals shed their hair;
Birds prune and feather their nests;
Snakes crawl out of skins.
Lions stalk their prey.
While birds peck at blades of grass,
Black widows weave webs.
Worker bees work hard;
They make honey from nectar.
Drones eat, mate and die.
Azaleas blooming—
Black widows weaving their webs;
Good-bye silk flowers.
Hungry hate hunting—
Love’s lone lamb looks luscious;
Faith favors freedom.

Because of you I will engage
In a futile, vain attempt,
To put in words upon this page
What loving you has meant.
Through miles between unmeasured
And the boundaries of time,
You’ve been my greatest treasure
In the back roads of my mind.
Since we were young and so unyielding
And impatient to hold on,
To what we both were feeling
That eternal, behemoth bond.
That comes but once a lifetime
And ends but never more,
Not every verse ends up in rhyme
Nor fairness even scored.
Somehow we turned one winter night
With neither one suspecting,
Cold winds cutting like a knife
And destines bisecting.
Into the snow and ice I steered
Off to find my soul,
All the while you cried your tears
For a love that lost its hold.
Though that’s a lie in waiting
If true love exists at all,
These words are well worth stating:
I still can hear your call.
Late at night with moon and stars
And comets flying by,
And morning when I think how far’s
The separation between you and I.
Not knowing if I’ll ever see
Your smiling face again,
Like a gentle breeze I feel set free
In the comfort of your memory, dear friend.

Like a gentle poem, he whispers against my skin
Loving, warming thoughts of hopeful expressions
Making me feel alive again, filled up within
The yearnings for his touch actually chastens
Touching me with scents of jasmines
Piercing my skin with a sense of pure affections
Awakening the joy inside that always destines
I’m a 7

Deceit devastated me!!!
…debilitating my dignity, darkening my disposition
…directing me to despair…
Then dread defrauded me --- doomed were my dazzling dreams!!!
…dictating my disaster-denial, discouraging me
…dwarfing my duties
Oh, dearth-disgrace debased me!!!
…degrading me to downfall’s detriment
…deterring my determination with doubting
…damning me as defenseless!
Despite the deceiver’s devices,
Dearest Defender* delivered me!
Day by day, my dryness’ drought He drove out.
Difficult days He turned to delight
Domination of depression He did defy!
Dwelling within His dealings I now do...
Departing from Him destines me to destruction.
Decrees He demands I dare to declare
Decided am I to dedicate my all to Him
Devoted to my Lord Who loves me indeed!
*Psalm 94:22 But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge.

Alliteration
Sprouting life, a squeezed flesh ball enters to human race
Opening the tiny sparkling eyes, it glares, then cries
Mortals arrive as the temporize of Lord’s will
He devotes his being for fulfilling His intention, appeal.
Slowly he proceeds to maturity, enjoys youth, decays, then eventually dies…
The flavor of being alive, experiences only for a short, so lovely is those spices!
Heaven knows why He destines so short span of time for us,
The glorious Lord becomes so miser in this priceless case!
Setting the life loop He sends the tender hearts for concise time
Every heart is gifted with only one chance to live to tell the tale.
Bestowing worries like always, it hugged with some true pleasures,
Showering some pains as before, it removed my all failures
Thus, my 2015 arrived and at last retired,
I traveled along my kith and kin far and abroad.
In conclusion, what I gained is not like before
I equate my life cycle to the albatross on sea shore
Above the white waved sea, I see the frothy albatross waiving the wings, fly
Forgetting the wide wide blue boundless, bountiful textured sky
Reaching extremely high, it trembles following the sand clock
Before finishing the red rays of sky, it is to return down back
The trust of my hubby, faith on me geared its top by this year,
Destiny also gifted me the final destination of my nomad memoir
That is the best gift what I wished till then
Thanks 2015 thanks Canadian Immigration!

I wish she were dead
If she were dead
May be then i could have
Had enjoyed her lie by me
As deep nights surround us.
If she were dead
May be all she stood for
Would be immortalized
On cold stony floors.
If she were dead
May be the fantasies would cease
That supersede reality
But love never dies
That's what they said.
Humbly i bow, facing the end,
As I've found, painfully, what life really meant.
A fate all men face
The inevitable end to the rat race
we see, we feel, we fear
What lies beneath our apathetic face.
Hoping against all odds
That beyond the doors of our faults
Redemption, forgiveness, paradise,
Await us, our self-pitying lies.
In truth the summer dies.
Monsoon's rains and winter's skies
All hail the endless cycle
The toil of years gone by. Our demise,
Unquestionable obedience to Thy will.
Would she regret it?
Would she pray for one more chance?
I swear by my death bed
i'd pray for one more dance.
One more time to stare into her eyes,
One more sight, one more love driven crime.
I wish she were dead
May be then i could live for
Another future, faded within our closed,
Hidden destines.
I wish i was dead.
In another life i'd choose
Another path i'd fall in to.
Another choice, i'd fold in two.
No, i know..
Given my breath once more
Without a second glance over my shoulder,
in a promiscuous heart beat
I'd choose this this life once more.

Lyric
At the first piece of twilight
the night's fleece goes astray.
Nebulous clusters of unwhite
destines into mass decay.
And to the chorus of birds on height:
Welcome, oh sweet break of day!
Then the dwindling songs of coyotes goes finite
cause it's morning turn to say: Olay, Olay!

You are so shy
You know you're mine
Though you're swayin'
I know you're mine
I love your hide
your feeling is fine
Your pride also shines
When lookin' at you, I wanna die
Lyin' beside you, you make me cry
Though death does us part
I know you're mine
The Lord God destines
You can't disguise
I know you're mine

If the Progressive American Re-set Plan
is absent God,
the God of truth, hope, forgiveness,
love, joy, peace, and kindness;
The God of the Holy Bible
and our one nation
granting rights making order viable,
covenanting with our Constitution:
Only hearts obeying Godliness
protect our rights from Godlessness.
Absent God, their Re-set Plan
destines America to darkness.
Authoritarians, dictatorial rulers
designing this plan is tyranny.
Anti-Americans of Godless persuasions
invite tyrants to power: the State is their deity.

Free verse
In that season when the wind blew
A love note, remains timeless and still
A conversation of close-knit tone began
And abideth like day and night till...
We, two beings, entwined in spirit
Have the pleasure of owning the world
The shadows remain just as long
Time limited as ever before
Sweet sunshine cures our love
To a smooth velvety silk
Our stream is cool like the furthest cloud
Our fierce fire is contained within our wings
We’ve had chance to dance to our laughter
The roar which destines anguish in to blue seas
Where each wave rises and crashes in rhythm
The tune of a pair bound by a single algorithm
In our world there is a lake of clear waters
Where my boat once dropped a shank
There was a ragged shore that threatened one
Not to go that far, a timid breeze that bent reeds
Cute and slow like the tilapia dorsals, from the bamboo
Grove nearby a call from a lazy quail to its roaming mate
A bubble of black water from upstream where ungrateful
humans lived, a piece of cloth drifting on the stiff waters.
That was all to see and hear.
I could hope and learn from the evening toss
Of the lake how the lone quail earned its keep
But the lake was dead silent
In that brief moment of time stasis
A fable has it that the goddess of the lake
Would come to accept the sun’s goodbye
Alas! Behold the lake was a flaming pan
Like ripe red chilies in a windy sunny day
Behind the hanging clouds that evening, stood
In a frock of the pattern of the floating cloth
A succulent beauty, long nose, creamy teeth
Whose long tresses will my days and hers entwined

Verse
Before my birth you knew my name
For you are the holder of my fate
Your compassion has extinguished my transgressions
My day of defeat was the day i was born
Because before I knew you my soul had been torn
By unrighteous things that were evil in your eyes
Cleanse my skin from the sin because i firmly believe
That i was unclean the day that i was conceived
Wash away my impurities and purify my soul
And i will be whiter than snow
Cover your eyes from the sins that reap in my bones
And create a heart that destines to be like your own
Do not let me out of your sight
For i have done wrong, and failed to do right
Save me from these spiderwebs
That have entrapped my lost soul
Grant me a willing spirit to teach those who have transgressed
And let my tongue sing righteousness
