Best Enlightening Poems
The graveyard, shrouded in pale mist, so hauntingly eerie,
dampen spirits as the full moon loses her glow - dreary!
I float, like a vapour, amongst lifeless, inky shadows;
solitary yew tree, groaning with age, as the wind blows.
A ravens cold, chilling stare, shoots shivers within my soul
as I glance at fresh earthly mounds next to an empty hole.
Decaying flowers, leaves, disfigures forlorn, relic graves
as melancholy whistling heralds me in mournful waves.
I wander past headstones sheathed in mould, epitaphs long gone,
This sacred place seems familiar to me as night draws on.
Movement beyond a mausoleum - am I all alone?
I feel I am being beckoned to something to be shown.
Hypnotic, ethereal sounds now on this Halloween Eve -
I am guided to a grave where I shall lay down and grieve.
For, as I kneel against sodden turf, horror upon face,
An inscription enlightens me - I dwell - at this resting place!
Reaction to the poem "My Beautiful Letter Multiply with Others You Make Verse" by James Edward Lee Sr
You are a message
and up Uplifting, you are
You come neatly noted, honey coated
with freedom and truth
Seeding weaving
Alluring words
Inspiring power
Heightening and enlightening
Enveloping everlasting existence
You're a message of love, you You are
The endless fire you capture here
Influencing
Warmth, heat, fire
Fire creators'
Physically floating
You're wondrous doting
Marvellous message you are
Happy Happy happiness brought
Tantalising thought
You're the mighty miraculous message everybody desires
You are the melodious Maestro
Harmonising, Inviting Enlightening
Sweet solace
Ravishing reception
The message of peace and love
Ahh acceptance ahh
All for another message
For the better and better
An up Uplifting message you are.

*Written August 11, 2014
On a hot summer day in the hills
I went underground searching for thrills
Fifty Eight degrees year around
In the darkness, enlightenment was found
Down here is where it all began
Unearthed bones of earlier man
A small stream is what's left of the ocean
Hands of time, run in slow motion
Crystalline icicle looking stalactites
Meet and greet, ever growing stalagmites
Multicolored water drips like rain
To formations of colors with no name
The albino blind salamander commands
Sun starved creatures on diamond dust sands
And drip stones silently grow
Resident bats freely come and go
Ever changing pillars support a vaulted ceiling
Convenient and aesthetically appealing
Father Time spins his potter's wheel
His masterpiece is patiently revealed
Occasionally Mother Earth gets jealous
Becomes a tad bit overzealous
Withholding minerals he needs
He chisels sandstone as he slowly breathes
I think to myself, how ironic
This old cave drinks a mineral tonic
In human vanity, it's time we fear
Hence the beauty of millions of years

lap upon lap
wave upon wave
calming waters
ripple round toes
with each stride
footmarks fade
behind
as I wade
shoreline spreads endlessly
birds babble perky chants
breeze beckons peaceful trance
oh the ocean's song's
so serene...
lap upon lap
wave upon wave
each step closer
to inner sanctuary
abiding light
broadening soul's sight
sovereign autonomy
splashes on pages
of my life
enraptures me
capturing holy harmony
within...

ANGELS ARE FOREVER
Curtain overhangs as barriers, or even for a shield,
what occurs before or after or even behind, untold,
it’s always a strange event to one another.
Forget all past to move on for better or even after.
Swimmers swim not in fear of waters but,
in speed to make another victory for history.
Angels are there and here now and then watching,
if you or me call on them, yah praises are true.
In them all reflections continues to reveal a story.
Blood shed never ever gone to waste but as a light,
it waits, with its shadow, knows all day and all nights,
leaving no stones unturned but shining with love.
All angels are forever ready wanting to be in service,
ask and you shall receive, never rejects our callings.
Like legs climbing on a hurdle, feeling great with joy.
Angels will climb any heights to seek our love,
securing a place in their hearts yet not known.
Only angels may carry our orders to execute, yet
they are never our servants to follow, but they,
oversee our eyes if in tears, bringing hope with joy.
All is true and they truly forever for peace in love,
P.SELVAM
No towering, flowering landlocked tree
Will weep for the waning life of thee
Forgive them, friend, they never saw you smile
Forgive them, friend, they never saw you smile
To mistress maritime were you married
For her you lived, so to her be buried
Below the surface of sorrowful sin
Where above there breathe hateful, hollow men
Solar systems spin and endless seas flow
Though they are bereft your supernal glow
Forgive me, father, I can't seem to smile
Since you died, father, I can't seem to smile
First intent for a Tail Rhyme poem
Light has appeared between the cloud
Warding off shadows of becloud
Appearing hope as a symbol
Giving a sense of willpower
Faith as strong as a high power
Speaking for yourself very loud

When the eclipse of Sun darkens entire universe,
The drought-infested soil waits for tender shower.
Love comes, delivers it from that dreadful curse,
Pouring its enlightening shower from holy bower.
All pains, struggles, sufferings seem non-existent
When there is love, when there is love’s presence.
After eclipse, sun appears brighter, clear, content.
After stings of Dark, Love brings a luminescence.
The lamp of love enlightens interiors of the heart
Where vermin try to eat up the veins of morality.
Love renews the heart by clearing the fallen dirt,
Awakens drowsy world with trumpet of equality.
Lightening all you have betrayed
Enlighten the darkness in your brain
Illuminate all you can perceive
From contamination to disease
The voices of hunger will remain
Seeking the power to obtain
A grip on the things that scare you most
To weaken your spirit; to be host
In times of wanting, and in greed
Your first reaction was to feed
Hammering fear in to your heart
Causing your senses to depart
Strength over others comes from fear
Igniting the wars that keep it near
A shadow that sneaks in to your soul
From birth until death you are its goal
Exercise consciousness and thought
Look beyond everything you’re taught
Analyse selfhood and reveal
The bravest ambition is to feel
Forgiving the people that betrayed
Knowing their darkness and their pain
Become the light you need to see
Feel it in all those you set free
Having a traumatic history isn't always bad
While you're living it, yes, your agony blinds all the optimism
It closes every gate to keep the buoyancy at bay
The worst feeling is to find yourself being the helpless character of your story
The one you read about in those overwhelming novels and watched on tv
The one you sympathized with and never wanted to reenact in real life
But when everything you dreaded; everything over which you gave your sanguinity benefit of the doubt happens
And it looks certain to prevail over your high spirits
It's time you bid adieu to the naivety and greet a much-needed revelation
You have to welcome the enlightenment with open arms
You have to acknowledge it, accept it, and make it the cornerstone of your future ways
Indeed, once this learning shapes a brand new mindset, you'll be invincible
And, this transformation from feeble to fierce will be an example for many!

She always says its dark in here;
we need a little light, my dear
She does not know her smile's
what brings me day, from darkest night
I die inside to feel that glow;
it's why, I keep the lights down low
I only wish that she could know
how dark it was, before
she brought the light
