Best Distresses Poems

Their mere weapon was their forbidden courage, hands barren with  no armaments, no ammunitions, marching towards the proud valley of death, dedication born from their sempiternal dreams of a free land. 

Their bare weapon was their incessant patriotism integrated  under a sensitise unique...

Men, they say
Dominators
Slayers
Conquerors

We have been subjugated by their culture and rules
The norms and the religions of masculine fools
The laws and the clowns
The world one day will evolve

We who have the curves and seductive smiles
Are we not filled inside with the same DNA? so they say…
Give...

When gusty winds blow, riling my troubled dawn in gelid woes
Squall of my throes dissipates in scented whiffs of budding rose.

As brazen fog shrouds mind, heightening my grief, poking fun 
Defyingly I step out in glinting rays of the dawning golden sun.

Refusing to surrender when...

Statuette she is in deep thought.
A monument of strength gathered from anguish and heartache.
She sighs as she murmurs what distresses.
As tears flow freely, her heart is exposed.
He is aloof watching her.
He deciphers the cold world that milieus.
He will not encroach.
The streetlights effervescently disclosed her observer.

The salt water
baubles washes
gently
upon the jetty sent
from lands distant.
Pushed by a hovering
yellow moon,
sometimes built into
thunderous waves
		of hurricanes.
Change comes rapidly
and dangerously
as the sea meets
yesterday coming
back.
It speaks to me and
it does say,
I give no quarter
and furthermore

Jesus did teach us to turn the other cheek,
But never suggested we ought to be weak
In those instances of obvious wrongdoing
He sent the moneychangers gelt strewing,
And he called out the miserable hypocrite
In the strongest of language, as he saw fit.

Keeping the peace is good, I...

An applaud in negative
In writing or voluble,
Appreciate one must
To further spring up,
A poetic grand slam !

Sarcastic comments
Take digs at you,
Aggressive remarks
The missiles,
To drop you dead !

Throwing a frisbee
Beyond reproach,
Reprimand,
Rebellion,
Give or do battle !

A censure, 
Although Depreciates ,
Distresses and Disheartens,
Repel depression,
Essentiates introspection !

Be factualistic,
Don't divagate,
Be dianoetic,
Argue...

"At Times I Wonder"
By M. Taha Effendi

(Nazam)

At times I wonder what life would have been worth
Spent cloaked in soft shades of your sable tresses
If ill-fated darkness that shrouds my  wrecked hearth
Was slayed by vigorous radiance of your eyes' recesses

Oblivious to earthly callings would it...

Chronic Pain – The Beginning


You snuck into my life in the 1998th of May,
Everything about me wishes that you’d go away,
My whole being longs to feel good strong and well,
But for the last 18 years each day has nothing new to tell,
Chronic pain I hate...

Can you imagine how faithful Job was?
He didn’t know why he was tested, because
He was totally ignorant of Satan’s insistence.
This manslayer could harm him even at a distance.


This rebellious angel wanted to believe,
That if he robbed Job, God he would leave.
Then, as he kept faithful...

I want to make a garden
full of roses
black, white, and pink....

Bees are invited to suck the honey
and to taste
Butterflies are invited to enjoy the colors 
and the smell....
Men are invited to enjoy the glory and glamour
of roses in nature....

Have you ever visited a garden 
full...

With tenderness, she caresses
My toes and calmly impresses
The gunk inside
Smelling aside
They are quite ugly, distresses

When life is miserable and bad
When circumstances make you sad
When one after another problems abound
Like a phoenix you raise 
from the ashes of agony
and smile in utter faith

When physical pain distresses
When you lack strength to live
When medicines fail to cure
Like a phoenix you raise
from the...
