Best Enjoying Poems

Whoever succeeds in adopting a positive attitude towards old age, 

The passing of years, would not appear an earthly burden on him, 

But, heavenly bliss.

When mind is in the moment, thoughtlessness prevails"
~
Keep your mind away from thoughts that rebound
Hear the mesmerizing melodic music of surround
Bask in the bewitching beauteous objects that astound
Sense all the sensations you skin has sensed around
Inhale the myriad magnetic fragrances floating around
Experience boundless bounteous bliss...

What sustains Life like water?
What is as fresh and welcoming like the countryside?
And as sweet as a newly made confectionery
baked with honey?
I just found one
well placed in all corners of your heart.

A feeling encompassing the goodness of life.
Is it the blissful visitation
to the tenants of...

A cool summer morning
Behind a cloud the sun is hiding
Pleasant fresh scent from trees of pine
Nippy air in the surroundings

Cooler breeze of southern winds blowing
Is it a little taste of fall season’s upcoming?
All the pollinators are hiding
Hoping it is just a phase that is passing

The purple iridescence reflects,
deep into the flowing river.
Inviting picturesque poetry,
penning quickly in my sketch book.

Clouds cool the humidity,
while blue herons fly over.
Fighting the windy wetness,
while diving into the deep. 

Fishing for prizes of river trout,
inviting gulls to their bounty.
Fighting over the river mist,
sounds of their...

Autumn echoes slowly fade
As Winter footsteps are seen
Natures spirit tamely sleeps.

Brisk wind whined as the magic
Of the feathery snow spins,
Home warm walls keep day chill out.

Sun's outstretch scattered bright rays,
Blending orange-red streaks clouds
Poise over blue free heaven.

Kids dressed warm with wet mittens,
Looking proud of their...

ecstastically me
an exhilarated sense 
indulgent and exultant
powerfully me
a confident zealousness
appreciating myself...

Life goes on, despite our woes.
We are bigger than whatever it throws.

May your heart be full, your days sunny.
Laughter be yours, and plenty funny! 

Be grateful for each special day.
Eat, enjoy, every minute each day.

Giving to others is the best! 
Make another smile, that's a...

Sky as infinite as deep thoughts,
foaming sea emitting sparkles,
glances brightened by romance,
a sweet urge to dance...
enjoying the peace of late hours.

A summer rain falls gently from the sky,
   and settles softly on the meadow green
refreshing mother earth and beautify
   the countryside with happiness unseen,
      while love and nature joyfully convene.

As you and I stroll down a...

My childhood was a troublesome time,
My mind built walls too hard to climb.
My memories from that distant past,
My life made me feel like an outcast.
I tried to find where I could fit in,
Gave up, wondering what was my sin.
Family split apart, I don't know why,
Grew...

Freedom movement 
Egypt, Algeria, Baharin
people defying iron hand    

people on road 
for road map of democracy 
no to slavery and controls

people dying for rights
that we are enjoying 
right since birth till grave

Growing old to some may mean dying;
Relinquishing the attributes of youth.
Once we become seventy or eighty,
What more of life's left; is this true?
I feel young and happy on the inside
No regrets, I've been blessed, each day's new.
Grey hairs and wrinkles may adorn me

Oh, but I...

When the fair is free,
have you can always flee,
like counting the one, two, three
when hugging the special tree

Getting to know the he,
As I am always with the she,
when concluded inseparable,
Like into Jesus' parable

With them is as crazy as flying,
Because i'm not trying,
It's the me, a...
