Best Endured Poems

From my new blog..

Illuminations, Temptations, Life's Travails Endured 
 
Weep for Truth that man's inherent evil betrayed
Zeus hurled lightning bolts, paradise dreams delayed;
Intriguing words, those tales of mythological beasts
Sirens tempt, alluring songs, dark orgasmic feasts:
Man that so blindly eats, stirring to walk upright,
Consuming illusions of...

I have been lied to, cheated on, and verbally abused,
I have been heartbroken and used.
I have been second best when I thought I was first,
Goes to show you how little you're worth.
I have been attacked for no reason by another woman,
Because she was having sex...

Gone Now, Thousands Of Winters Once Endured

Hold your ear on the verge of the moment…
Listen as her eyelashes wisp the air closing
Hear tears filling and clouding her perceptions
Hearkening out as they surge a burning roll
Give an ear to the silence ricocheting inside her
Absorb of her desolateness
Listen as she shakes uncontrollably into...

Occured, Endured and Reassured

Body was born and will end up being old
And about all of life there is a story told
About existence of each desire and goal
Arrival of each one as it starts to unfold.

Someday soon as all of them shall start
Rapidly will realize how...

I didn't throw the towel in, I decided not to quit

I kept fighting back, I endured hit after hit

I showed bravery, I showed courage, I also showed true grit

I was on my way to becoming mentally fit

I must build on this momentum, my work rate...

A wondrous pastoral scene 
Green fields and meadows
Woodland and hedgerows
Unchanged for centuries
A beautiful place, a safe place
Then came war’s unkind caress 
Which swept away the green
Repainted the pastoral scene
In shades of brown
And turned everything to mud
Tree trunks devoid of branches
Stood like rows of rotted teeth
In...

It's the last day of June and I simply adore its calmness:
see bunnies leaping, mothers hugging their babies! 
It's a morning when all eyes admire His artistry 
while bees swirl around smelling perfumed skins.
Soon, it'll be sunrise as the sun's radiance
can blind the observer with...

Love has endured timeless ages,
it has been spoken with sweet
and intense words:
but to understand it,
we must truly feel it!
Live can be magic,
love can be tragic;
who is willing to proclaim it?

Famous writers and notorious people
have expressed it with their affectionate ways,
does it resonate and make me...

To have God love assured
A moment without thought
Yet not held back he felt a lot
Jesus pleaded our Father
His mission was like no other
A second chance for mankind
Through faith he entwined
Served glass was always there
Happiness we share
Through time love was prepared
As he has always cared
We shall...

I am one of the oldest trees around.
My roots grow aggressively and deep in the ground.
I am a sycamore, most regal and proud.
My branches so high I can touch a cloud.
I'm usually found near wetlands and streams.
My thirst is unquenchable, or so it may seem.
I've...
