Best Ease Poems
autumn ease ascends
medallion and crimson breeze
perpetual grace
August 16, 2018
Like a nest on a little church
indented in the rocks.
The sky is low.
The twitch
of the air flower-beds –
the passing angels.
And voices like gushing
streams; rivers before the sea.
The day is silent.
The body is growing up –
some birds are thronging.
L'Empéreur s'amuse
(after Victor Hugo)
For the banished ones, of stubborn resistance,
France is far off. The tomb is near.
But don’t worry, Prince. Enjoy your existence.
In the Bois de Boulogne, chase deer,
chase women in the theatre. Rome’s burning incense
for you. The Tsar calls you “mon frère”.
Play on, sweet Prince. You have swans in Compiegne
and you have the wines of Bordeaux.
You seek novelty, amusement? Why then,
they’ll bring you fourchettes from Les Baux.
Swooning under your crown of grapes, tiens!
You’re something out of Caravaggio.
The convicts are building the lighthouse. Fine.
So ordered, by the King.
They’re casting bells on foundry lines.
In hellish heat, they’re suffering.
One day their light is going to shine.
Those bells are going to ring.
So dawdle, dally. Have your fun.
Put on your languid airs.
The thread of Fate’s already spun.
Who’s going to hear your prayers?
Who will save you? Where will you run,
when the people take what’s theirs?
Let everyone love his neighbor as he loves himself
And folks once more turn to God, to each other for help
Then tensions will ease, with a reduction in stress
Yet when that will be ~ I wouldn't dare guess

MY REASONS EASE LIFE DURING MOMENTS OF STRUGGLE
Why do I need the most beautiful gift?
for mercy within the storm of MY rift-
The beauty of atonement when wrong,
my faith has given me vigor all along.
There are REASONS beyond my comprehension,
much EASE in moments of apprehension-
The Lord is my Savior in bad times and good,
I’d love to hug Him in LIFE, oh if only I could.
I need the comfort of love DURING a long day,
when the daily stresses seem to get in the way-
I need the light in the shadows of night,
I need His Word to teach me what’s right.
His compassion lingers when sorrow prevails,
His strength conquers when life fails-
He gives me confidence to live out His will,
and in MOMENTS of chaos He makes life still.
No matter the day I am loved by Him,
He brings sunshine to the dusk OF dim-
I need His grace when I feel lost and alone,
I feel joy that one day Heaven will be my home.
For there will never be another Lord for me,
my STRUGGLE turns into His greatest glory-
I have so much respect for the Man upstairs,
because I know how much He loves and cares.
Why Do I Need the Lord

He sits where the quiet gathers
A desk
A lamp
A page waiting
He begins the slow stitching
Of hours that once breathed
Each memory arrives differently
Some walk in with dusty shoes
Some drift like a familiar scent
From a room he no longer enters
He writes them as they are
Not as they should be
Cracked edges
Weathered colors
The well-seasoned truth carrying its weight
With the soft scrape of his pen
He learns this small mercy
Remembering is not returning
It is simply letting the past speak
Without interruption
When he closes his notebook
The world feels lighter
Not because he has changed it
Because he finally let it become whole
Stand at ease soldier, rest your weary soul,
You've served your country, you've walked your last patrol.
Stand at ease soldier, rest your tired paws,
You've saved so many lives, you've travelled lands, torn with wars.
Stand at ease soldier, rest and ease your mind,
You've served with honour and pride, you've protected your mankind.
Stand at ease soldier, rest your senses for a while,
You've shown you were a warrior, you've always gone that extra mile.
Stand at ease soldier, rest, it's your time to just be you,
You've been and done all you can, you've been there to see us through.
Stand at ease soldier, you're no longer part of this charade,
We'll salute you and say farewell, on this, your last parade.

Peace is a steadfast, stable, quiet noise,
not one of media’s favorite toys.
Peace is an easy, loving intention,
so news gives it barely any mention.
There is only one sure way peace can win;
everyone, everywhere, must breathe peace in.
All must exhale any need to feed greed.
All must let go woeful sorry ego.
All rise the morning, be still and relaxed,
rest your hands, folded gently, on your lap.
Focus on peace, inhale peace deep within,
let it go, then breathe peace in once again.
Breathe peace in as a mental-heart safe ride,
breathe peace in through your spiritual side.
Peace in the air, gently breathe deeply in,
peace flowing new, beneath your very skin.
Imagine all hearts striving for world ease
by beginning their day breathing in peace.
I SUGGEST READING ALOUD TO MAKE SENSE OF THIS MESS

I should right my wrongs here. In this piece there is not one word correctly spelled, yet they're all accepted English words. Spelling errors get right up my gut and in poetry they detract from the flavor.
MY SPELLING IS FINE
I'd been taught since but a mite
nursery rhymes and poems recite
primary colors red and blue
numbers one to eighty-two
and sing along with "Wet Wet Wet"
but not letters of the alphabet
of course it's plain for you to see
I know not my A, B, C
instead of writing poetry
I'll write a dictionary
Debbie, I know you asked for serious, bilingual poetry. I thought I'd throw this in the brew for fun. Loved your example, by the way. :)
"Amor, amor, amor This word so sweet that I repeat
Means I have adored you Amor, amor, my love
Will you deny this heart that I have placed before you?"
Quote from DEAN MARTIN song- AMOR
Inspired by the French movie “Amour” which has won string of Awards
Where do you have the pain Amour?
Tell me where it aches
See I am right beside you my love
Oh ......how... do I ease your pain
Your hands are still so soft
Shall I tell you a story my sweet heart
Listen it will wipe your pain
“When I was around ten......
I was sent to a holiday camp
My mom and I had a secret pact
If I like the place to draw flowers,
If I don’t to draw stars
So my post cards are full of stars......
See your pain is gone now
My sweet! Do you feel my kiss?
I will ease your pain forever......
M m mm..........
Please forgive me Dear God
I cannot bear to see her suffering?
I cannot bear any more.......
I have bought flowers to decorate her body
And it will give her a nice fragrance
There, I hear her washing the dishes
She has come to take me too
Yes, I will put on the coat
No, I haven’t forgotten my shoes
With My Amour I am going too...
Alpha said to Beta
So, How’s that flat?
My Gamma built a Delta
What do you think of that?
Machep sounded off,
“My Beth!” he cried
Epsilon’z ETA, is
exactly what we need!
Eats in the cooler,
if you make god.speed.
She gave the Ta
and with one Iota
proclaimed “Yo, dates! “
I swear I told you?
I dared ya,
to a Nu game and
Kappa the lamb did too….
So, How can A.man
be in only one place
when a woman
is always in two?
Omicron,
our best phenomenon
How do, you like your Pi?
In a Rho, sea glass
filled to the brim?
Served …
with a scampi
and why?
The Sigma signaled and
the meanings mingled
Stomata.the.Roma
said a tometa,
was a Stigma.
Thank You @Phi

It takes courage to believe,
we can move the mountains.
Until our time ends,
we still live facing hardship to ease.
Kota Kinabalu
Shortening my breath everyday
Ease, don't carve me into stone
I'm not quiet ready
These insecurities in me,
I swear there killing me
So please don't judge me
Just give me a minute
Time to reflect
On the things I've done
All I regret
Please don't set me into this mould yet
I see this eternity as a catastrophe
A never ending cycle of hurt
Constantly seeking me out
Chipping away at my head, pulling at my scalp
Ease, don't carve me into stone I beg
I'm not sure if I can do it
Loose myself to something as this
I felt the flutter
A butterfly under the skin
This decision will determine everything
But a life as this in my hands
With all the bad things I 've done
How can I decide the fate of a human
As I'll never be particular in weather
you should have tea for breakfast or cider
Eating pudding before your food hasn't been a problem for me
I have no right in saying what's best for this life
I'm a dribbling mess most of the time
Why do people not take these things into consideration
before reproducing
This act could determine all of eternity
Like a spider web deciding how many birds will hatch
Everything is connected
This child could be, when it's grown inside of me
The balance between good and evil
As thoughts of responsibility consume me
And motherhood looms
Ease don't carve me into stone
Don't know if I'll make it alone
First she said she had to go.
Time is creaking in the flow.
Grasping firm my smooth e-phone,
Party matter, cordless zone.
Twisting, lying, spineless snake,
Open mouth too big to take.
Venus venom summons Eve's
Blushing, bouncing apple tease.
Humping in a sack of green,
Not for love or tangerines.
**** of gold and multi-facets.
Time is leaking on my assets.
Running from that musky cow.
Searching for a ginger gal,
Soul-mate, princess, guardian, fairy,
On this night of wet and eerie.
