Best Disbelieved Poems

Children placed in foster homes are
swiftly shuffled from heart to heart.
Breaking links in a chain of love;
goodbye; precedes every new start.

Wary eyes scan every fresh face,
trying to catch a glimpse of hope.
But intolerance and half-truths;
aggravates their plight, so they cope.

Love sounds like an empty promise;
delivered...

There was a time when I  disbelieved
in the true sense of what it's to believe
I knew not of the true living God
in this state, my soul could only grieve

But God was faithful never giving up
revealing himself in the person of His Son
this son of...

Love in life is ill fated 
beauty of love’s face often abated 
a rose is a rose no matter the face pose
a rose in a garden is still a rose...

no face of love graced,
faces of life are strife laced
all wilted and covered with mildew
of Excellency...

"The Forgotten and Fluctuations of Awareness" 

When the crime 
was committed,
the writing 
was already on the wall,

no one listened. 
It climbed insidiously
out through the cracks
like a friendly tarantula.

that sad poet 
I read today,
she writes 
of dry mascara.

poet destroyer
what point to apply 
ink to windows, at...

you want to wake up in the morning with the evidence of your 
imaginary friend
right there, in your hand, for all the world to see---
let’s not beat around the bush,
because we both know 
you want to take that...

Beloved, the Inevitable

Sky without the moon
Ring without the stone
Song without the melody
Garden without the rose
Shell without the pearl
Shelf without the books
Bottle without the perfume
Israel without Moses
Deserts without the sands
Monsoon with the rain
Body without the Heart
Leila without Majnun

Ah! I could imagine any such naught-
But world without...

I hope you find my story life enhancing
About a man with elephantine thighs
When Twinkle-Toes O'Donnell started dancing
He chose a partner almost twice his size
The pair of them looked like two horses prancing
The judges simply disbelieved their eyes
But Twinkle-Toes and Daisy didn't care
They always held their...

I, was slowly passing all open farms on rail;
The chugging kept me hugging, the little one so pale,
Her cough was loud, her cold was still a mess,while in my quest did tried my 
best to hide the pain, that held her chest;
Alone, a man was...

Six hundred and twenty kilometers we drove, all through the night to the quaint town of Mombasa. It had a feel of its own. A mix of Christians, Muslims, and agnostics. With 7 people squeezed into the car we went. Ten hours of potholes, baboons,...

[Continued from Part 2]

“Despite all I’ve done for country, for my people and for man,
I was cursed to see the epoch when the great decay began
And to know that, from now onwards, the great marvels Rome achieved 
Will in time fade into ruin and their...

On that fateful dusky evening about an year ago,
My eyes disbelieved as they watched you fade away at a distance real slow.
My happy world crashed and fell apart,
I could never gauge that I would have to undergo this at the very start.
But somehow I believe...

My destiny..? is preordained & wont be denied
No matter how many times I fail, I gots to keep on trying!

Joyful O joy excelling
Feeling filling lips exalting praise
May the heartens live in malaise
Gnash under the ravishing heat like a praise
To him to whom they live to relive
In destiny thwarted, forgotten to have ever lived
All ye praise to God to whom they disbelieve
His eyes see through...

Colored lights draped over elaborate wire trees
   Festive wreaths dressed in ornaments to please
Christmas songs piped in, one after another
   Outside a bell-ringer chirps, Merry Xmas, brother

Yet nearly every guest room's empty
   Seems no one's checking in or out
No...
