Best Emerge Poems
Flowers Emerge
Impose your will on the pretty flowers as you may
Trans-formative wonderment of nature
Entrenched, defiled, they pop up any way in clusters
Vivacious are the colors above the solid stem
Cut cold to death, decay and pain, to follow winters grip
Excellence defined in the ability to survive
Dangerous are the forces that persist to derogate them
Yet they prevail against all odds
Death comes but they regenerate
Grass is their shield. Dirt is their pillow there
Negative winds carry with them ice
Reds and yellows grow on below the sun
Visceral, strangled roots, fragile faces, petal soft, grow cold
Ingenious species, green with envy on the leaf, rise again
A Cacophony of nature’s birds and bees disturbs the peace
Flowers come in abundance, remain, friendly on the green
Distinguished in divine fashion, exquisite, generous to the last
Elevated smiles on pollen grains contain the seed of life
Flowers emerge, aware of life

You've been hurt
You've been broken
You've been doomed
far too long
You're hiding behind shadows
You're angry with the world
Your silent face casts you away from society
And you're left with feelings of intense depression
You said the heck with love
You thought you were safe down this valley
And now you're feeling defeated
All of your thoughts on finality
Who do you seek for help
What can you do to be free
When will you shine again
Where should you find happiness for good
Baby you are it; not anyone, not anywhere
But within you is the power of your free will
So emerge from the shadow
Give your heart a will to find its joy
Smile

Emerge
Significant
although diminutive.
Submerged with a purpose,
under pressure with a plan.
Alone, and confused.
Which way is up, which way is down?
Suffocating with darkness all around.
Scared to live yet afraid to die. My instincts Emerge.
Predestined to live I fight, out of this desolate place, full of despair, I Emerge. From the dust and dirt where once I was imprisoned, leaving it all beneath me. Where darkness once ruled, I am donned with a gloriest and radiant light from the heavens. Where I was once engulfed with fear, I have the freedom to
love, to grow, and to thrive.
Days have come and gone, years have past. The heavens seeming to be just in my grasps. I have given myself without reservation; shade and shelter, food and medicine, pleasure and protection.
I am great. I am grand. I soar in the sky. I sway with the wind. I am strong. Nothing can move me. Nothing shall shake me.
For as much as I emerge, I am submerged. For I am free, but not free. For I am anchored by the Source, the sustainer of true life. For to truly live, is to truly love. For to become truly free, is to truly die. For I shall finally, for all eternity,

I emerge
light overwhelms me
with peacefulness
It laves under the waves of warm sunshine,
a chill breath of almost spring- near weather
deliver endless hope and yearn of the fruit vine,
her wee frame caressed by the moor's heather.
A look of silent wonder filled the sun
while it hung temptingly reaching natures
sweeping gold hayfield, light of day begun,
retrieving, renewing, reborn creatures.
Crepe myrtle delicate limbs dropped in size
with the weight of the vibrant pink flowers,
and the bees, as well as the butterflies,
taking full advantage of its bowers.
A breath beneath the sun and sky to drench,
hunger that only the sunshine doth quench.

When Virgins Emerge
Virgins dwell on celibacy when they emerge
Even though the agenda might stray to setting dynamite
To lighting candles, eating celery, and hanging everything in sight
Displaying imaginary tiny toys and boys with strings and hooks
Around their necks as ornaments
Christmas trees come to mind
Virgins begin to find their spirits under there
Surprises give thier rise to blossoming
All Incongruities abound and bounce
Like Easter bunnies, they multiply rapidly in Spring
Such women naturally adapt
Are adept at math
Virgins lie and wait
If thoughts could think
Puritanical thoughts would starve for food
Suffocate from education
No need for birth control
Being pure of soul
No need for debate
Or hesitation concerning masturbation
Convenience stores will do just fine
When women explode into the universe
To find their feminine side
Unwind, have a smoke, a child or two
Virgins don’t just converge, they merge with it
dragonflies touch off
from amongst pond's floating spheres
beauty dares emerge.

spring green leaves emerge
flower buds tightly entwined....
in the distance doves
Sometimes one has to retreat
From the controversial world
To find an inner calm
To stay deep in the sea like a coral
Smiling all the way
Dancing softy
Listening to the soft flowing of the sea
Enjoying the calmness of the sea
Watching the wonderful muddling of schools of fish
A sudden emerge of a diver will bring
An admiration of the human being
From the outside world
And also a great pride and satisfaction
Within the coral
When we speak
some whispers
sense a hiss,
encumbered hushes
say nothing...
When we ask
how chances lost
remind us why
Each sentence tears
a willing smile down
If by chance again we asked
...nothing good
would emerge
Out of the darkest shell I emerge,
Bringing Out a path once trailed
I Arrive; With a story to tell
From a past once bitter
To a Path Now Fitter
Out of the grave of dreams, I Arrive
Standing on the Rays of boom
From the pains of Mirage,
To the Shadows longed for
I will take my Chances
Out of the loneliest Sea,
I conquered
Beneath the Deepest Clouds
I Fly, I sojourn without feathers
And tell my tales at Heavens Gate

From obscurity, strangers emerge like shadows of a forgotten dream at the break of day,
vanishing like old dangers, whispering stories on the street of dreaming flowers,
where each passerby becomes a ghost of light in the twilight hour,
some exchanging sweet words, like echoes of bells in the evening breeze.
By my porch, a blackbird sings summer symphonies in the cradle of eternity,
red berries like rubies rest in a bowl, green butterflies like emeralds flutter,
the heart of the day turns into a dance of shadows and light, a sway of dreams,
where thoughts float like silk clouds in the sky of an ancient fairy tale.
Passersby, ephemeral smiles, eyes like stars seeking wishes in the distance,
the scent of jasmine flows like a river of sweet memories through forgotten corners,
a pink hummingbird pauses like a colorful dream in a world of silence and mystery,
and a yellow balloon rises, carried by the wind that whispers the secrets of summer.
I saw a woman emerge from a shadow
With a sly demeanor and look about.
Her sequined dress was aglow.
She didn't know I was also out.
I watched her remove a silver shoe
And stick her foot into the mire -
One of the darkest ferrous blue -
As if testing the temperature.
Her dress was even more brilliant -
After a countenance of approval -
When she crossed the bleak horizon -
Careful not to soak her lunar veil.
Humility sprang from within
Valiant heathen clean of suffering
Casting seeds from whence it came
Existing evermore.
you come out like the beauty of the
sun that
dies at dawn to give birth to the
night
The night i call the beauty of the
moon that shyly smile upon me
To this day my eyes sees not
themselves anymore
But is see in the reflection of your
eyes the harmonious heart that is
being built in me
Like a mirror you showed how
worthy our love is in your eyes
For in your love I will not veil my
look as I did before
you unveiled your heart to me
For you seen how my heart was kept
hidden
But since you had my eyes
I stand as your glass for you to see
yourself in to my heart through my
eyes
Because to lose you would mean
I beseech to find my grave
So I stare you and I will to tell
yourself myhalf in to my vo
