Best Enduringly Poems


Thank You

Thank you  
How I keep saying  
Deep gratitude showing  
Generosity, kindness, beauty  
The wonder and joy of giving..
 
What would I consider or measure  
The value of what is received, the feeling of pleasure  
Unable to weigh or count  
What is given, a flowing fount..
 
Thank you  
A word too much used and said  
Nothing equal back could be paid  
Just the sweet taste in hearts we pass to mankind  
And a legacy for Humanity of being good and kind..
 
Thank you  
How I keep believing
In words converted to true feeling  
In genuine souls to my worries kindly listening  
My pain enduringly wiping..

Thank you  
One of God’s many a blessing  
The gift of gratitude for which I keep praying  
Recognition I keep showing  
To those who paved the way for the grace of living  
To all those who filled my whole with smiles  
And my dark chambers with light
So as I could reach the warmth of Hope and Faith inside..
 
Thank you
Over and over I would say
To people of God
And to the Almighty I would pray  
As I recall more than one sign and call
Nothing should be in life for granted taken  
To meet life twists, the heart toughen..
 
Thank you  
So much in life I owe
To who caringly appeased my fear
Patiently lent an attentive ear
Lovingly brightened a gloomy atmosphere  
Humanely bore my weakness and what I shed of tear..
 
Thank you  
Of what life brings am in awe
Despite my perception of its limitation and flaw
Tolerance and acceptance I keep fostering  
Allow peace and bliss my inner self illuminating  
And only the wonders of good in Humanity I keep seeing  
With a strong belief in sharing, caring and giving..
 
Thank You

Premium Member Who Are We At Our Core

 
Written: December 21, 2023
              _______________________________________

How may burns, scars, or dark lines identify me?
How can a red face or tan skin define my destiny?
Seek decay-proof goods akin to diamond display.
Despite affluence, cherish your spirit and pray.

There exists no absolute upper or lower limit.
Aside from that, the present moment is merit.
I can't deny that I'm here looking out, outscore.
Without the proper gear, who am I at my core?

Shy roses, withering, rest kindly below the sky.
A graceful early sun dispels all fears on display.
Leisure, love, and a longing for self-awareness.
Goals, prayers, state of mind, glee, and sadness.

Assign skills and wisdom to acquire optimism.
"Transcending Facts" overcomes dogmatism.
Fearing or trusting shock, your desire to evolve.
We relish the reprieve when our youth resolve.

As you sigh, listen to tales of grace in the rustle.
Under the stardust pledges, faith, and beats bevel.
Truly genuine, unspoken, and enduringly sincere.
It usually sounds airy and conveys a loud *****.

Our minds and views tend to be tough to grasp.
Risks and an unending waltzing of longing clasp.
Our inner child gets to freely explore his curiosity.
Even with age, life nurtures us with its complexity.

Enticing peace, eradicating chauvinism and gloom.
Mossy floors, buried in the wickedness of bloom.
Wrens and ravens on shaky twigs call for calm souls.
Who can discern the euphoria in a dewdrop's calls?

The splendor of passion ignites a desire to bind.
Forming bonds to offer ease and peace of mind.
Others show severe thirst; they're ravenous.
They'll feel it takes less to remain rapturous.

My soul is anxious to surrender the uneasy part.
Slices of me—kind, delicate, and graceful heart.
My blood flooded with God's only tender mercy.
Light shards, mixed with shining flames, calmly.

The radiant light angels restore is who we are.
Glorious hope, faith, and love, God's ideal debar.
Creating a tale over the passion we feel at heart.
Is the ideal love suited to releasing all at the start?

Premium Member The Wind of Love

The Wind of Love

Love is a constant gentle wind
that swirls and whirls, does not rescind,
windsurfing

Loving hearts, enduringly strong,
to play a never-ending song…
on windchimes

That sway to shake off rain of tears…
ensure that every seasons’ fears
are windswept.

Dreams - An Iota of Hope

A poem based on relationship…”A girl in her own dreams” 
wrote by Mrs.Madhavi :)


DREAMS - An Iota of HOPE 

“Waked up 7 :00 am in the morning..
saw my beauteous dreams transforming..
ohh yeah..with a drowsiness yawning..
Suddenly I found myself refreshing.
Excitedly Gone near by emblazoned window..
Fearfully Viewed a gloomy shadow..
Suddenly he smiled at me through haze of smoke..
Like a fantastic sizzling coke..
Soothing music on its full swing ..
Like a glittering diamond in the ring..
He ought to give me red rose..
On his bended knees he bows..
He tickled on my pierced nose..
With which I got glaciatedly froze..
Like a tempting dark fantasy chocolate melting in the mouth..
We strongly decided and took a royalistic oath..
He Embraced his hand on my shoulders..
Which Got intact like file and folders…
Like the moon  shines in the sparkling night..
Enduringly felt to hug him so tight..
Dazzling  Eyes immersed  in each other..
Tuned together like a romantic lover..
Every nerve of  us conjoined together..
Because the love lasted forever..forever…

Suddenly a glimpse of sun came and shattered all my zestful dreams..
“”Ohhhh.. ohhhh No..Not again. Not again. No more illustrations. No one can dwell my heart like you. Please come back. No more dreams please..””

.
 Yep this feeling arised at once and will be still till our last breathe. Lasting forever. Just forever..
 We trapped in each other’s heart and now no one dare to break our love-life’s part.. Apart..

Love is the essence of life and it is measured not by the count of breathe we take..but by the moments we share together till our last breathe..



By,
Madhavi

Metaphor For Love

Metaphor

Water flows; formless form. 
The broad stream moves only ever forwards, 
Curving along the contours of life.
Here, a rock disturbs the placid surface;
Giving form and character to uniformity
Of existence, enduringly. There, a pebble thrown 
Far from the edge creates a momentary
Ripple, a brief moment of happiness, excitement,
And then is gone. Yet within the silent waters,
The pebble has altered the parallel flows, 
An unconscious eddy that spins and whirls,
Hidden from the world above, insistent thought.
So it is with you, metaphorically the bridge
Across my river from whence was thrown 
The pebble that disturbs my serenity still.

Premium Member The Notice of 3-Three

Dimensions of height, width and length
The watery phases, of ice, liquid, vapor
Life possibly is less after three days without water
The Holy Trinity: Father, Son and Spirit

We are a spirit, soul and a body
The number, 3, indivisible
Triangles with pi are used in Trigonometry
Me, you and God, that is harmony

A father, a mother and children together;
That is 3 in a modern nuclear family
A three-stranded cord is not broken easily
Satellite GPS triangulation gives locations

You, a friend and another person make a trio
A tie breaking vote maybe the third (3)
A poem which only has in it 3-line stanzas is a tercet in poetry
Some three-pointed leaves make fine green tea

A three-sided pyramid does stand enduringly 
A  triangular prism shows light's hidden colors beautifully
Computing has 3 main components: computers, keyboards and mouse
The U.S.A. has 3 co-equal branches of government

Lithium alkali metallic has the atomic number 3
Tricycles are rolling around on 3 circular wheels
Tripods are standing firmly on legs of three
America's first dollar main colors were white, black and green

Purnululu

Dream again in this timeless land
Of beauty, nature created
By wind and rain and scouring sand
Eroding the sandstone plateau
To orange and black striated 
Bee-hive domes, enduringly slow

Nature’s eternal beauty unveiled 
Soar high above with eagle’s eyes
To comprehend and be regaled
By this majestic mystery
Where no man’s foot print ever lies
And time rebounds in history

Dream again in this timeless land 
Nature’s eternal beauty unveiled



Purnululu is the Indigenous name for the Bungle Bungle area in the East Kimberly in Australia.
It is a world heritage listed area of unique Silica and sandstone Bee-hive domes.

My Matron 2

My mother is a beacon of strength, she taught me how to relinquish and re ascend
She showed me that forgiveness brings freedom, and only love and time a broken heart can mend
She has beard burdens of hardship only a mother can endure 
Fragmented and defeated her heart a tad bruised my mother would endeavor still her child to reassure

From a babe in arms to an adolescent with struggles of my own my mother was my constant, her alone!
Her back she could have turned yet she picked me up enduringly when I was cut to the bone 
The pubescent years were the most trying of all. For her child faced illness and hurt which she could not deflect
Her eyes must have shed uncountable tears as time and again she stood by my bed wanting only my future perfect

Now a woman in my own right, I am able to reflect and acknowledge my mother’s strife 
As a woman I am able to comprehend what it means to be a mother and a wife
The bond between a mother and a child begins prenatal through the years the bond is verified and subdued
Our bond has been conserved through forgiveness and love, the sentiments we bestow on our hearts it is tattooed.

My Matron! My mother these words were intricately chosen only for you
Have faith when I articulate my gratitude for everything you do.
You are my mother and I am your child forever we shall share an un-moving bond from your heart to mine. 
This I shall cherish with great respect and appreciation for my mother, I shall love you through all of time!!!

Ignis Fatuus

Indigence and torch light might be beguiling to a visitor
When he aches for his anguish to deter
Chase tension and scrutiny avert
Yet enduringly rubbing shoulders with them hurts
Amounts to additional burdens and strains exerts.

Infernall the Walls of Freedom

Bluest blues, blackened with yellow green
taken back for all I've seen
muddled minds mingled
living lonely
amid suicidal dreams

I have seen, oh I have seen
infernall insecurities scrambling
fearful of creation's doubt
enduringly drifting 
towards the brink of curiosity

undoable 
ropes unraveling
but only for these eyes
the hidden cries
for help

helpless, hopeless
kindness begs
breeds, breathes
untold 
tight held mystery

a forestry of freedom unbound
found
a conduit can't hide
in gentle breeze
side by side by side
with angels
guiding me

Concerns

Modernism 
Has its roots penetrated deeply into 
Barbarism, 
Or still unfathomable depths. 
  
So is History, 
Lamenting over man’s destiny 
Of blooms with  pollens venomous. 
  
Wonder 
Flashes within, how  has One squeezed 
The massive essence of mountainous misgivings 
 And filled in an exceptionally delicate word-shell! 
  
Expressions; 
The silver snakes of blessed thoughts, 
Gently glided over the shadowless sandy shores 
Of serene sweetness, aspiring to dawn this planet 
With the most wonderful source of energy ever; 
A new tender Sun that might emit 
Golden rays of hopes and promises immense. 
  
Revolutions, 
Marched over  the ember-strewn paths 
Of human history breaking  the early shells of evolution, 
Leaving shrouds of  beguiling dark ashes . 
  
I pray, 
Hope, and dream the mighty  word-squalls 
To clear off the legendary curses   
And enduringly emancipate the futurity.

Premium Member Visibility

Invisible doesn't  mean not exist
Air is invisible but it does exist
God is invisible but he does exist
Romance is invisible but love exists
Food with artificial and chemical ingredients
Doesn't kill but harm exists
You won't  die instantly 
But you'll suffer enduringly
Just like you can't judge someone 
guilty 
Without full proof and solid evidence
But guilt exists

The Felled Oak

The old oak felled by man is no different from me,
Whose fond dreams were shot down, carried off to the sea. 
By the river, this tree had enduringly stood
‘Til the villager maimed it for need of its wood. 

Time anon, in its shade I would blissfully lie—
Now this solace has died with a thud and a sigh. 
Once beloved by the birds and caressed by the sun,
It is nothing to no one; its glory is gone. 

In my youth, though I rested or played in its shade,
I cared not that its trunk could be hewn by the blade. 
Now I sit on the stump and reflect on how brief
Was the leisure afforded to me before grief. 

Though cut down by the axe and mistreated by fate, 
The green shoots of new life will grow out before late;
And though time is unkind and man’s caprice is blind, 
Stronger twigs will branch out, as will hope in my mind. 

In due course, a much taller, more beautiful tree
Will grow strong as the faith which now surges in me
And, before I am gone, I will harbor anew
The brave dream and old joy which are now out of view. 

Come one day, by the river, young children will play
And will rest by an oak tree much taller than they;
But, instead of repeating my errors of old, 
What I now write they’ll read, though by then I’ll be cold. 

They will learn of a man who lived there long before
And whom Nature had roofed in his prime by the shore:
A young man full of dreams, staring up at the sky,
Much at peace and content by the oak where he’d lie. 

The short course of our lives must run out before long, 
But our memory lingers in rhyme and in song;
If the tree and the man both forgotten must be, 
May posterity cherish these verses from me.

Distort My Faith

This candle doesn’t burn as well as the others
It’s smell is sharp and sweet but the light is delicate
Flickering 
trying to fade
Away
dying until another day
I subsist for
Someday when the flame is intense and the craze renews
the day he will return, I shall be waiting with 
His darling lingerie
lying in the cinnamon scented bedroom
With red hued illumination and crimson dust 

Oh  trivial candle be still 
The pressure on my chest will not
Cease 
Until the wraith of your  struggle infects mankind
With golden distress and ginger redemption 
When he kisses her I feel 
his lips
On mine 
affliction decline
From me, depart

Please I’m imploring you
To adore me like days gone by
I was yours completely, your  beloved innocent
And this prose isn’t as rewarding as typical
Certainly this is how I suffer
I’m desolate, I’m twisted
I’m powerless
To weigh against time 

Distorted, the phantom 
Of yesterday
Haunts me through my dreams
Slithering through the fracture on my window
From your steel fingertips
To coil beside me and strike the glass
Between my entrapped soul and heart soaked in venom of deceit 

And this candle, though pale
Is my luminosity, dampened by the ancient grief
Too proud to conclude my heartbreaking sparkle
too modest  to exist more then enduringly 
Like the aqua tears I shed
On this paper of therapy
Maim me with the sincerity
Of silence, dear friend
For you are all I relate to
In the core of the darkness

Premium Member Screen of Awareness

The embodiment of the unique existence,
life is the construct of transient elements,
that align in the plethora of perishable patterns 
within the mundane entity of the fragile body. 

Beneath the surface of frail discernment,
the mortal being transitorily builds fleeting images 
on the indestructible screen of awareness, 
that persists unchanged to portray new perception.

When my errant mind wanders in the realm of free will,
unbound from the roots of the designed soul,
the dislodging thrust of the vicious sensitivity
unleashes the base instincts of destruction.

Deflected from the course of the divine compass,
I am struck by the surge of the spiteful storm,
that breaks me into the debris of destiny, 
dispersed on the layer of consciousness.

I then understand the true purpose of existence, 
as on the lighted pathway of devout life I take 
the inward journey to the sacred spiritual sanctum,
trying to reach the ultimate destination of nirvana.

Across the multi-layered receptive mind,
I perceive the soul at the inner meditative depth, 
where the lighted screen of awareness is the eternal truth,
enduringly reflecting the splendor of the divine glow.
