Best Downfalls Poems


Every Seed Grows
In this field of plantation; 
Where I walk and plant various 
parts of myself around this 
world; 
I sometimes look back and notice 
the trail; 
I recognize the lettuce of charity
I’ve grown constantly through the 
years, 
the tomatoes of kindness which 
resonates red to the...

Hoarding Hope - I Am Not Alone
This horrid. inner remorse
Is getting way out of course
I want to keep courage and cheer in my heart…
I am His sun-shining, mild child, even from the start
I hope my daily prayers to the Lord are sincerely heard tonight
Let not my delightfulness depart, for my good...

She, Forever In Boxes
So confined to the boxes is she who
Tries to free herself from them
Breaking down barriers of all political and cultural design
Constructing opportunities and 
Imagining their trite and expected 
Downfalls
She, who reigns supreme in the art
Of lability 
The morning being the promise
The afternoon, the despair
The night,...

The Protector of the Unaware
THE PROTECTOR OF THE UNAWARE

In the great hall walls sung with gold
Silk threads reflect the free fed fires
Stoked high to chase the brutal cold
From listeners as they crowded round

The winter nights wrapped round the thoughts
Of  raging bold and  timid weak
For in the starkness...

Dear God, please grant me Your wisdom*, without defilement

Teach me Your truth against sinfulness-detriment
…never fallacious in assuring my redemption’s eternal settlement!

Lead me from downfalls that eviscerate my strength in...

The Chosen One
He once was among us
as loving as could be
always helpful to others
Never letting us see
See the pain behind the smile
of a once handsome man
A great father to his kids
always taking a stand
A hero he was
to me in that house
Always making me laugh
piggy back rides a...

Premium Member Anger
anger feeds off hurt
buried somewhere in your heart
in a shallow grave,
and in times of pain
memories resurrect it
restoring its strength 

it needs no excuse
to weaponizes contempt
and unleash pent-up hatred  
on all those it blames
for life's failures and downfalls
oblivious as to why...

Vibrant Colors
I have spent a lifetime
trying to find my perfect fit
in a chaotic world that has 
no time to dwell on just one
I had to stop looking 
at my downfalls
My reality is of my 
own making 
I choose to live it 
happy or sad 
Nothing in...

Go forward and walk your walk and I'll go ahead and talk my talk 
Quite distraught due to the fact that you're too good to be true
I know that the Lord of Accord will be following me...

Hero of My Life
Right from the day I am born
Admire her not just as she is my Mom
Happiness stays and sadness gone
As her care & love is magically strong

Broken the knee while playing on ground
Her eyes sparkled with my paining sound
Each hour In her mind only i surround
Struggles...
