Best Devotees Poems

Oh, Democracy,* 
You, the most desirable bride among  
Political systems,
Your suitors many have been throughout 
History  
In every part of the world, you were the one
They were after
But
You declined their proposals, despite the fact
All suitors, to charm you, they have tried, 
With great...

Joy of Christmas tolls hooray, buoying elation of Santa’s sleigh
As celebrating the birth of almighty sacred church bells ring
Reverberating in melodic music ~ chiming, jingling merry way

Halls of happiness aptly display, glittering décor of golden inlay
Where in rhythms of pious hymns carolers gaily dance and...

Envious hearts would never be lovers of truth and justice but devotees to falsehood and injustice!*

Poetry won't hold her tongue
When desperate times
The little men they breed
Would counsel silence.

     She bursts instead Athenalike
     From out the wearied brain
     Or grows painfully from every vein
     Like...

The sea’s silver ripples gently undulate  
to call upon the coast and tease my feet.
I am but a child.  A threat, not a sign;
they let me play in the breeze and brine.
 
Waves in wild gyration join my summer dance,
to flash and crash...

"The Odyssey of We are Centre"



Where does he come through 
with his fishing lines?
Casting off metaphors
worms of vitriol
hooked and dipped,
he’s so green backed  
rolling in grandiose 
self published flack
unhip and seasoned 
with his tart rye 
swallowed for kicks
pulling deep wisdom
from his shallow
back pocket where
he...

Our family’s visit to an ashram—
Where parasitical monkeys haunt ’n hum.
Creatures known for tricks and hanky-panky.
So tussles ’tween visitor and monkey!

Monkeys win— tussles with woman or man.
Outwitting the monkey whoever can?
So woes of the devotees are many; 
There doesn’t seem to be solution any!

A li’l...

Guarded by towering hills on the East 
And flanked by the Arabian Sea on the West
With its easterly shore of stretching sandy swell 
That lulls the restless waves to sleep, 
There is a land, my land of green vegetation
Nestled among palm trees and paddy fields.

Oh!...

This is about the three, who had a master's degree, very snooty and got great glee treating people crappy.

They stayed busy as a bee with plenty of money, couldn't see the forest for the trees, they remained peewee.

Couldn't figure why life had gone awry, even...

Sunshine glistens in your dark raven hair
It causes your devotees to stop and stare
I think that you are oblivious and unaware
Your label should say please handle with care

You are a rare creature I must declare 
Why can't you be tamed? Must I beware?
I want to...

Kinsey Millhone owned a single black dress
And wore it whenever she'd need it.
If you were a fan, you'd know all of her quirks,
For the alphabet books guaranteed it.

From "A is for Alibi" right up to "Y"
For "Yesterday," Kinsey did capture
The hearts of all readers, who...

Poetry:
Sees the unseen
Hears the unheard 
Comprehends the incomprehensible 

Praises our feelings
Exalts our love
Glorifies our God

Describes nature
Expresses beauty
Gives wings to inspiration

Poetry,
The heavenly language 
That 
The devotees of the Muses use
For
To paint reality as our Lord meant 
Reality to be:
Divine!

Devotional devotees dazzlingly delight
At an amazing aurora’s star of abiding light;
You’re yawl-like year-round of Yahweh’s areole-sight,
Starlight of sunshine, starlight in splendid night,
Twinkling tirelessly ‘til the thickest tip of twilight; 
Ardent acclamations in our hearts arise…alight,
Reuniting us in rejoicing with reverence in thy rite!

This heart~ a lovesick talisman
f l a r e s fallen sparks,
seeking Mayan glyphs of hope
amidst layered lace of halcyon,
illuminated with tears
of black diamonds,
    for the empires ruined
by the self-righteous kings
      throned in greed,
   ...
