Best Firmly Poems
Leave My Feet In Poetry Now Firmly Planted
I tried, compose a revelation poem about truth
Did that in earnest, in my wild but honest youth
But with mind fighting a stone wall nothing came forth
it was as if I fought as South against the North.
My brain had shifted into a deep murky haze
I was prisoner chained by a dark-cast craze
Each dawn I rose against a grey, terrible front
All my verses came out silly or rudely blunt
Aggravating, torturous to the nth degree
I gave it a go, took a vacation to flee
Not a damn clever thing I tried seemed to work
I ended up thinking am I fool and a jerk
Failed, threw my hands up and said, to hell with it
I cried out, had me a bad uncontrollable fit
I took a short vacation to a white sand beach
Seeking again, to my ran away muse to reach
As the ocean waves into my soul did soft splash
I ran around shopping spending loads of green-cash
Soon I forgot about all by having good fun
Rose each new dawn saluting the rising gold sun
Eight days, my time was spent exploring deeper life
Soon gone was any shred of hardship or dire strife
That morn, I rose seeing sun's sweeter golden rays
I discovered a much truer life in newer ways
That very night I sat down with pen in my hand
Out like magic beautiful words about this land
And then in another poem sweet love of true youth
Verses and verses slung about love and bold truth
Then it hit me thus, my angel muse had return
No more trashy stale words would I have to now burn
My muse told me she left to a hard lesson teach
She came back not because of words I did beseech
She came back when I had forgotten to her so love
So she left me to deal with dark world's push and shove.
That cool night, I wrote a superb poem on true love.
And if I were writing hand, muse is my dear glove.
Swearing never again, to my muse take for granted
I leave feet in poetry, now firmly planted.

There are days that the sky is not blue
The heart is not bright
But even in the darkness
The seed sprouts
And the light awaits us ahead
Be patient with yourself
Gentle with your faults
For every path needs time to walk firmly.
Firmly in her Grasp
Captivated by this beauty,
my heart held firmly in her grasp.
Sweet, just like a mango smoothie!
Captivated by this beauty
Superstar, I am her groupie
and I feel up to the task.
Captivated by this beauty,
my heart held firmly in her grasp.

So bashful my soon to be wife
She places her fingers into my
hand as I help her down from the
surrey
Her eyes firmly fixed to mine
she smiles
and curtsies
Arm in arm
I lead my petite princess to an arbor
adorned with flowering vines
and a bevy of meadowlarks
Resting on my knee
I ask for her hand
my lips kiss her soft fingers
and I speak in romantic verse
I ask forever to share life
and her moist kisses at night
Magically my bashful little flower
my timid princess spoke with jest
to shift the fright
and down her soft cheeks
tears crystalline
from her brown eyes fell
With gesticulation
and her hair flowing
whilst she gracefully danced
I heard
"yesss"
Highlit noon terrain, sun blatant
Bathes their shadowless landscape
Endless brilliant sheds radiation
Blinking weary bulbs weakly imitate
Heat hits love with all truth stark
Boxed tight hard facts reject cryptic
Oneness discovery, - two embark
Both nurture melded mode intrinsic
Having strikes delicate balance
Gravity secures, too soft to squash
Assurance a transparent palace
Governs linking, symbiotic emboss
Horizon elevates whitest sphere
Grants tomorrow's moon take flight
Immaculate tuning discards fear
Goads a farthest keen midday sight

Pity those who are very selfish
Envy those who heartily laugh
Follow those who show mercy
Thank those who are loving
God has created this Universe
Naturally with a very wise plan
He will never at all go wrong
He will succeed in His mission
God really has an enjoyment
After giving the World autonomy
He has fun and entertainment
As takes place many actions
If God is a great sadist
He would have paved a way
Only for tragedy, not for comedy
He gives both really miraculously
He has made wonders happen
He has also given great shocks
Weeping and laughing take place
His ideas stay forever inscrutable
Proceed now and not tomorrow or later
The time to take action is now itself
Start with hope without any confusion
A positive step is a sure winner always
Waver never as wavering is a disease
That will bring virus in all your plans
A steady mind and a firm approach
Take one to the state of achievement
Gather all the facts and improve talents
Secure expertise by a constant practice
Choose the right method of execution
Then success will come to embrace you
Only by doing often we gain real ability
This Universal truth can never be refuted
Our life can be changed to reap the best
In case our attitude is devoid of regrets
Feel not humiliated by defeats or losses
If we adjust our actions and properly try
Victory will march into our lives joyfully
Respecting us by showering us with glory.
tempos and rhythms
opening lines penned
sketches from yesterday
swirl random memories within
stirring from the silence,I awake
poured out into a sound
be planted as roots to a tree
stand firmly your ground
C-ling to the tree bough,
D-o not loosen your good grip,
P-ray to God for help.

At dawn, the farmers grasp the ploughs, And stroll towards the fields along with bullocks, The bullocks jump up towards the fields after a long rest When the summer is gone away.
The sun peeps it's head through the dark clouds,
And it supplies warmth to the farmers, Who are firmly to work in the fields, When the summer is gone away.
The farmer's wives walk towards the fields,
whose heads carry two small mud pots,
Which fill with fermented rice,raw chilli and onion,
When the summer is gone away.
Big bellied landlord plods like a snail,
Who holds a black umbrella in his hand,
To see the tilling land for the season,
When the summer is gone away.
The farmer's wives keep the pots on the muddy bank ,
And levelling the clay soil by a piece of wood, Their husbands wash hands in the channel to eat grub, When the summer is gone away.
What delights await
those who punctuate
with alacrity and precision.
And reserve for those who don't,
or won't, their enmity and derision.
For there's nothing worse
than a rhyme, or verse,
that lacks its proper meaning,
a missed comma here, parenthesis there,
it really is demeaning.
One should always think, (before using
the Quink), what one is trying to say.
Is it just scrawl, like a graffitied wall,
or have you something more to convey?
So, to spare the jibes of your fellow scribes,
for the comma please spare a thought,
use it oft, but if it's aloft it's an apostrophe,
so please don't get caught.
N-ew star firmly shines to go
O-n at the old space arena;
V-iew in the firmament
A-mazes the eyes in euphoria.
M-illion mirth and rapture
A-re brought by the star;
G-lint gives excitement,
T-wenty-third September.
I-n the middle of the night,
B-eaming moon shares the ray;
A-live and awake are the gazers,
Y-awning mouths fade away.
G-leam firmly shines to go on
U-sually at the old space arena;
R-elieving the pain and ache
A-s you possess a good aura.
N-ew star firmly shines to
G-o on at the old space arena;
O-pening the big celebration, to start off with no drama.
A-ttractive star in the sky
R-eappears every eventide,
E-ager to truly brighten
N-othing but the lane so wide.
A-nother steady twinkle comes from the huge nebula,
S-tar firmly shines to go on at the old space arena.
Showing your beauty
By your light of nature
And by your inherited sincerity
Nothing needs deliberate
Of teaching hearts
Of the judgments by eyes
Of the planning by head
Of the making up by hands
Let them acknowledge
The feelings of déjà vu
Let them meet and collide
To spark their skyline
To light up the cool night
Let the hearts dancing freely
With the flowing ripples of quiet,
To rhyme the shiver of music
By its light of nature
Alike the flower branches
Under the starry sky
Fluttering in the breeze
No need to do anything,
No need to disturb,
Let the long-standing feeling discover
The beauty that is firmly aware
N-ot
E-ven
R-ugged wind
R-ocks your true faith,
Y-our strong love, your staunch hope, and trust in God.
