Best Epitomized Poems


Premium Member Incarnate

Angels are unable to handle 
these 'Sylvia Plath' sorrows,
hiding their halos -
mute to my concerns.

Love has abandoned me,
left me to decay in an open grave,
where flesh eating insects
devour my motionless corpse.
Yet, I'm a victim of my own demise,
stranded upon sand dunes,
as a martyr for sacrificial...

As one grows old, when evening approaches, memories too lengthen like shadows. Now I remember more often my parents wondering how much sweat and toil they had shed to make their children comfortable, how much love they lavished and what sacrifices they endured. A snapshot...

Book: Radiant Verses: A Journey Through Inspiring Poetry



A Swan Song
Strutting with swagger while singing along.
I am the epitome of arrogance a hundred percent strong.
Trying my dynasty to destine the cause,
I formed a voice of expression.
Walking in mediums to speak to the crowd,
My poetic mien capitalized.
I am a Diva now.

This demeanor was everlasting as I...

My Penchant
To 32
What a way to appear on screen
With cascadic hair open umpteen
Wishing me on the festival of lights
Giving me extreme delights
Oozing with passion from looks I say
Glittering with fervour come what may
As name means the gracious one
Let me wish thee in ton
My joy multiplies due...

Despair
Like a tumbleweed aimlessly blowing in the wind
across infinitely open and wide prairie home companion land
(which wasteland famously epitomized by T.S. Elliot)
a barren vista ravages metaphorical landscape
of one measly mortal malcontent male
bumping and scraping along accursed habiliment
just barely avoiding and dodging diabolical demons
mercilessly and unrelentingly...

Premium Member The Cotton Ball
We were newlyweds married for only a week,
On our way to Houston, with our love at its peak.
On the way we stopped on the side of the road,
He had spied a cotton field and stopped with our full carload.

My husband said, “Go pick us a...

Premium Member Anniversary Tribute to My Pastor and His Wife
Anchored upon great genuine godly love’s magnificence
My Pastor toward his wife exemplified genuine care’s iridescence
Beyond romantic zeal around marriage vow’s faith-seal, truly wondrous
Proven by their triumphant wedding anniversary, indeed glorious!

Buttressed by the Saviour’s compassion of virtuous charity
My Pastor’s first and only lady sweetly epitomized fervent...

The enchantment of our magical moment
Epitomized an intoxicating aura
The dancing of our minds and bodies
Through sprinkles of angel dust in the air

The enchantment of our magical moment
When true love ignited deep in our hearts
Only ours to share

Tears of Yesterday
You were beautiful, sweet, kind;
Reassuring of your conviction.
Trepidation ringing in my mind
I focused on your profession.

I tried us both to cajole, convince,
If I showed you a kingdom of gold,
I could be your shining prince,
And watch our dreams unfold.

I searched, struggled, and drove
For panacea elusive; bejeweled.
An...

Trump To God
Trump To God

We never did discover what will be the cost
When around for long time have been bossed
And insulted, humiliated as well as criticized
Of a bunch of ignorance this has epitomized.

Aren't we supposed to be setting an example?
Instead of on others always trying to trample
And...

by the power in the message we convey
for we are purposeful bold Black kings & queens
forging our own way

as we stand in all our glory
recognize our dignity, our pride
our heritage, our story

we are significant human beings
