Best Dispossess Poems


Shores of Doom and Gloom In Your Faith
Shores of doom 
Needn’t engulf the space in your mind
Where without your will gloom
Can’t inhabit until faithless fleas and spiritual sleaze find

Room and space to waylay and slay without delay
The faith you profess to possess
In a spray without a ray stray
Strung and hung when you...

Premium Member Quote Me Rumi Forgiveness
You strike me down, though I am innocent,
And spent no time giving you reasons.
If my skin offends you, it's your soul's content.
It's buried in the environment of your seasons.

I'll bow my head, seek your forgiveness,
And accept the wounds, where you pierced my heart.
I'll gather them...

Book: Radiant Verses: A Journey Through Inspiring Poetry



Plain Talk--Not
I view it as unseemly to use high-sounding language to make an impression.
I perceive it to be ostentatious to  marshal words vainglorious in succession.

It is a determinant of consternation, if not constipation, to be so assaulted.
Obsessive practitioners of linguistic pomposity presume they are self-exalted.

Whom...

Premium Member Melting Ice
Step out with me,
if you would be so kind,
on my melting island of ice.

Full-heated summer sun
feels good on our backs and shoulders
and faces turned down and in to hunt,
to fish.
We start this day with gratitude
for warmth of light 
and powered life.

Empathize with polar bears,
or try...

The White Knight
The White Knight
Intrepid and sly.
Has a screw loose. 
Aptly,
Rattling, obsessively.
Somewhere,
In his shattered avatar.
He believes that he is a god. 
A god of women.

Of needy goddesses who are full of holes, 
  curves, dips and lips. 
To fill. 
With white. 
Of course.
Beautiful promises and lies,...

Premium Member Beware the Shepherd
While jurisprudence illustrates through brief,
the bureaucrat stands verbal in reply.
To pillage righteous freedoms like a thief,
he fans malfeasance tethered to a lie.

  Incitement is the weaponry of choice 
for inspiration fanning despot flames,
autocracy inflects within the voice 
to emphasize the fabricated claims.

  When...

Turmoil
Am i clutching at cobwebs in the rain? 
Have i held on for too long?
Is this my very own Kubla khan conjured out of the depths of my faith? 
Or perhaps a promise born to be broken after so many years of solace?
So many questions...

Days Deprived
Displays deepest mind 

And a resolute that endeavor 

Yet memories were treacherous and sere 

Sound of silence startled ear 

Disconsolate linger chasten'd more fair 

Eclipsing taunting the innocent air 

Pale rigid faces leave hollow empty traces 

Retrace chains endure 

Inspite of time revealed 

Vague imprinted...

Premium Member Furious Chemistry
Time disorder is common in a concert meant for those who rush
one organized by adrenaline and moderated by passion
a boomerang transaction, where the receiver and giver are the same
in a speedy interplay, faster than lightening and confusing to the clock,
a deal where the expense is...

Update True Environmental Tales - 101
I
Fifty years ago - I was about ten -
My grandfather wept for a tree:
Blue Spruce, one in the township ...
I empathized, but didn't understand

II
This morning, in 40-hour rain, 
I wept for my three-year Neem ...
Boys got over my fence at night,
To dispossess the whole environment...

Apocalypse
No man knows the exact day or hour
But charlatans continually preach of an Armageddon stour
Over fallow fields they their abrasive treatises scour
Softening the hard, unyielding ground as a tidy, careful plower
With visions of doomsday they fertile hearts do shower     
Their seeds annually spring up as...

Premium Member Let Go Off To Get To
Thought forms that arise,
often agonise,
unless
a plan we devise,
choosing to baptise
and bless,
rather than apprise
these ego spawned lies
that stress.

If we would progress,
our soul must access
the heart,
choosing to undress,
rather than suppress
thoughts smart,
ego dispossess
that fears which oppress,
depart.

Whence fear and soul part,
bliss beats then do start
to rise.
Love added to cart,
makes...
