Best First Of All Poems
A strange claim
Of a man of passion
Of kindness
He said
Let the children come to me
For what man would refuse the smile
The innocence of a child
He parted his kindness
His wisdom
His love of all tribes
Animal and man, felt the kindness of his eyes
His tears grew this world
His voice made all of us listen
He made fisherman, philosophers
He made masons run free
He sang to ladies of the night
With the wine from wells of passion
Caliphs and Abu Nuwas soon followed
Love belongs to no one tribe
No sect or religion
It’s the flower that seed's travels the globe
Like feathers floating in the wind
When you see a child with no food
A woman with no smile
A man with no home
You make a balloon or funny face
You grow a rose
You build a hut
Trust in the kindness underneath
It will kiss you on your death bed
You shall rise to the heavens
Knowing
You loved the universe
Notes: This is one poem that for sure can be peeled like an onion. First of all, I am working on a poem based on historical fact, and documents from the Vatican, that will serve no other purpose than to tell an age old story. Yes part of it takes place in current day Turkey.
Second, I have a friend who resides in Turkey, and we met over the internet, and over the years, have become friends. I know him to be kind, to all people and animals. We are simply friends that have shared stories, laughter, and hardships at times. Whether someone lives next door or half way around the world, true friendship and honor is hard to find. You can not give it or receive it. You can only both earn it over time.
No man is perfect, we are what we are, but when you see a world in turmoil, as we do these days, maybe this small event or moment carries weight. I myself am not so nice. So then I must say this, My friend Volkan is, not to me, but to countless people. A smile and kindness costs nothing, and the world needs more of this richness.
Everyone these days talks of how technology is ripping apart society and this may well be true, but this is a choice we all make, technology is merely a tool. One can also use it to build bridges and friendships.
Normally I would be shy to give such praise, however events have taught me that, its better to speak good words than be silent.
Thank you, for helping building a better world!
I just got to the grave today, death was given to you by my infidelity.
Along the way alive, my soul was given death.
Thy Ishq ruined my mahi like this,
Your every axis raised me up
never ask you for dream love stories
Never wanted to love such fake love.
Did not know the consequences would be this
name of love will be murdered
You stab in the chest
And it hurts in the heart ..
Had made a spectacle in the poetic life.
The desire of the moment was made of corpse ..
Death came to love on that day, that I had made.
You were playing with heart and I was feeling love
dréams all got crushed - misunderstanding has gone away.
Dreams burn - they died
They became clean and became ashes
Who says the ashes are just human
I had seen dreams also being eroded.
The eyes that had seen love in the eyes had seen the goodness.
Why do you die every time I ask you ??
What is your likeness?
She said mine was my love.
She used to say "Mahi" to whom she had revealed.
Those last hopes were shattered by my breakdown.
Took the robbery in love's market.
Often what they used to say was eaten.
First of all, by making fun of it.
i always used to walk behind you.
And you keeps the infidelity behind you ..
In sweet sweet things, the poison went away.
My grave went deeper ..
He continued to poison, I used to drink
He kept kicking and I continued to die.
That was the fact that love was done.
Whom you called "mahi"
A love poem
How do you write a love poem
First of all:
You need inspiration
The best inspiration
Is a person
to love
Or to hate even
Yes, even hate or jealousy
can be an awesome prompt
to write about
whatever
you once felt
Or perhaps puppy love
for that little boy with braces
two blocks down the road
from where you lived
Or even secret love for that
stud that never saw you
because you're that wussie
that nerd that stutters
So how DOES one write a love poem?
Never EVER use the word 'love'
it's a cliche
all critics in the world agree
on that one
also never use:
"kissing your moist lips"
'kissing' is a gerund
'your moist lips'
is a cliche worse than 'love'
Then how to write a love poem?
How would I know?
I've never written a decent one!

"Monday Dreadful Monday"
Most people are terrified of its presence
Only this moment can be the most hated
No more time for r&r....that's reefer and rum
Damn it....if he even looks at me I will need to find some new religion
And it's not even football season yet
Y did i even set the alarm clock....somebody make it STOPPPP!!!!
Do you watch the morning news
Reality check, why can't I find my shoes
Enter me back to the world where I must follow rules
Are there any sane people who don't think Trump is a fool
Dare I say that he is the biggest tool
First of all, his toupee ain't close to cool
Under his direction, we are fed a bull's stool
Like it or not, those IDIOTS elected a goule
Man, many make more mistakes
Only original ordinary organs orchestrate obediance
Nothing necessary needs new nihilism
Don't demand daily dreadful decisions
And are all actions appropriately and angrily aimed at apocolypse
Yes, you yearn yearly yet Yahweh yells yin young yang

To find the root of all evil,
One hasn't far to look.
It's not some shrouded mystery,
Concealed within a book.
The truth is right before your eyes,
It hasn't been concealed.
Eliminate the branches first,
And the root is revealed.
Let's look at money, first of all;
Could it be evil's source?
It makes us do the vilest things,
Without guilt or remorse.
More blood was spilled pursuing wealth,
Than any other goal.
And for the life money provides,
Some even sell their soul.
But if it were to be removed,
Along with earthly gain,
Erased from human history,
Evil would still remain.
The same is true of war and hate,
Of vanity and pride,
Of politics and religion,
And all things that divide.
Eliminate them, one by one,
And you will understand.
They're simply branches of the tree,
But they don't make it stand.
The root that gives life to them all,
Is right in front of you;
Sustained by every breath you take,
And everything you do.
It is the root of evil's tree,
The source of our Lord's tears,
Eliminate the human race,
And evil disappears.
So if you're looking for the root,
Can you accept what's true?
The answer is a damning one,
For evil's source...is you.
Hi Everyone.
First of all I just want to thank you all for your kindness, support, encouragement and prayers. It has made such a positive difference for me, through this ordeal. I look forward to when I have energy to write more here and also catch up on comment responses.
I am still out of the hospital, at home, but continue to battle what is going on. I have a lot of extreme tiredness that makes it difficult to do small tasks, along with lack of voice, some chest pain. Etc.
I have to be symptom free, before starting another 7 day quarantine.
So I am continuing to do my best to get better. It can take a while for some, so I have to gain some patience too. I want you to know, I have seen your comments now and they have helped me very much.
You are all special people. Keep on writing and I will too as I can. :)
Take Care
Heidi
It is not true
that love makes you blind
First of all
love is a feeling
I feel some small butterflies
flutter in my stomach just by thinking
I like to envision to myself
that the positive resonance acts as a mirror
A coherent energy
that flows back and forth in your eyes
Eye contact is the key
which opens up the emotions
It is after all love
that breathes life between two people
Seductive words to each other
performed with a twinkle in the eye
and light kisses at the neck
Love does not violate, not envy,
does not boast, it is not arrogance
While two hearts pounding so tactfully
they carry the glory of love

I see you everyday getting out of your bus
I feel your presence walking in the streets of Damascus
whenever I see you smile, an unexpected pleasure falls on me for a while
you re my day and you re my night
I can even bare your fight
just if you become mine
everything in this world will become fine
I can wait for you till my hairs become grey
you ve become my last and only pray
I follow you everyday till you disappear
but an elder told me that first of all they always miss
later they become your mrs
everytime you re in a different suit
sometime black green or blue
I love you, that s something which is true
you look so gorgeous that I sometime imagine that is it really you?
I love you, I love you
how and why, I doesn t got any clue
I love you, I love you
you re in my dreams, you re in my thoughts
I imagine you whenever I m alone
whether it s day or it s night
whether I m eating or sleeping
my loneliness makes me weeping
but whenever I see you
I don t even have 1% of confidence
where all of it is, I got no clue
there are just 3 words which looks like
climbing a tree which continuesly grew
I just want to say to you
that i love you, I love you
I count my blessings everyday to have a mom like you.
You’ve always been there come what may, to lift my mood when blue.
You say that God sent me down as an angel just for you,
But really God let me choose, I swear to you that’s true.
I saw that we could always be there for one another,
And that’s why God sent me down I chose you for my mother.
I am the woman I am today because you raised me so,
You taught me well and helped me grow, and then you let me go.
You are my mother first of all, but now you’re my friend too.
I never strayed all that far, I like to stay close to you.
Our relationship is a special one I’m sure you would agree.
When I am needed I shall come, you can always count on me.
I know that you feel the same, I am always welcome home.
A warm embrace, a happy face no matter where I roam.
You mean so very much to me, you know that it is true.
I’d walk the very fires of hell, if that’s what I had to do,
To stay the ever loving daughter, and be best friends with you.
What is life?
Life is just eating, sleeping and making sex
to show your identity
that, you have strength enough
to produce kid, to earn your bread and butter
to nurture your child
And to prove the society
that, you have not added any extra burden
etc, etc, etc........
Am I right ?
No, no, no, no......................
Then, tell me "What is life ?"
Life is playing cricket, playing tennis, playing football
and playing other popular games
to show your talent
in front of the people
that, you have strength enough
to make record after record
to create a space in the hearts of people
to generate crores of fan
to reach new heights
to earn million and trillion dollars
etc, etc, etc.........................
Am I right ?
No, no, no, no.......................
Then, tell me :"What is life ?"
Life is doing politics
defeating opposition and capturing power
enhancing growth and accelerating development
and to show your strength
in front of the people
that, you have muscle
to do anything you want
by creating turbulence to execute your need
by killing democracy to capture chair
by mudslinging to cover up your weakness
by blaming rivals to increase pressure on them
etc, etc, etc...................................
Am I right ?
No, no,no,no................................
Then tell me "What is life ?"
You may be a player,may be a politician, may be an actor
whatever you may be
first of all you are a human being
you should have,
a prudent brain, to read the face of innocent
a broad heart, to house billion hearts within you
two strong arms, to extend support to the needy
Yes,
you may not have any penny
but, If you will have a sacred soul
to feed a poor by saving a single bread from you
Then,
time will definitely come
whole world will salute you.
Am I right ?
Then, tell me "Is it life"
Yes,yes,yes...........
===================
F is for a very strong emotion we call Fear.
The way it feels and why you get it I’ll describe right here.
First of all, let’s talk about the way fear makes you feel.
Imagine that your heart beats fast or even does a cartwheel!
It’s not a sickness like the flu to keep you sick in bed.
It flutters in your tummy like a butterfly instead.
Sometimes it just makes you nervous. That’s why folks like me
might bite their nails in scary movies! Then there’s anxiety. . .
Anxiety is fear that comes from too much nervousness.
Too much worrying is bad; we need to have less stress!
To have less stress, be calm and happy. Get a good night’s rest.
And trust in what your parents tell you, for they know what’s best.
Remember - fear is just the body’s way of telling you
when there is something dangerous, be careful what you do!
Let’s say you’re standing on a cliff. To fall off, you will die.
Fear tells you to be careful since you don’t have wings to fly!
And if we feared no punishment from things that we do wrong,
this world would be a less nice place for us to get along!
For if we had no fear of being punished for a sin,
think of all the trouble everybody would be in!
Fear’s a needful thing. You’ll learn to fight your fear with grit.
So do not be afraid of it, not one little bit!

After much reflection and introspection I am making an alphabetical list of the things that make me, me. I'm sure there are more that I could add, but for now this is who I am:

I am a CHRISTIAN by faith,
CARING and COMPASSIONATE by nature,
CREATIVE and CURIOUS,
DEARLY loved DAUGHTER (though my parents have passed),
DAYDREAMER extraordinaire,
EMOTIVE EMPATH,
FAITHFUL FRIEND (I'm a good listener),
FIRST-BORN child,
I am completely FALLIBLE,
GRATEFUL for all my blessings (God is good),
A GRANDMA to six greatly loved grandchildren (my biggest blessings)
I am a HOMEBODY with questionable housekeeping skills,
IMPULSIVE at times, but mostly cautious,
INQUISITIVE, always ready to learn something new,
KINDHEARTED,
LOVER of God, cats, chihuahuas (and other small dogs), music and chocolate,
I am MARRIED and the MOTHER of two sons.
NORMALLY NON-VIOLENT and NURTURING,

I am a PEACEMAKER, a POETESS,
A QUIET introvert (is there any other kind?),
An avid READER (my Kindle is maxed out),
I am RIGHT-HANDED,
I am a SISTER, aunt, niece and cousin,
SAVED by the grace of God through Jesus,
I tend to be SELFISH (but I'm working on that),
I am SHORT in stature (I've actually shrunk an inch!)
TEA is my beverage of choice in the mornings,
The THESAURUS and dictionary are my friends,
I am UNDERSTANDING (but not always understood),
I am VALUABLE to my family and friends (or so they say),
WIFE to a loving, faithful husband,
I WORRY too much, (should pray more)
I love WORDS and WRITING makes me happy.
List Poem
Revised 7/11/24
YOU NEED TO KNOW
To live the life of attraction
You really need to take this action
First of all you need to know
Where your thoughts are you shall go
Be aware of all you think
Your thoughts are where you’ll find the link
Your thoughts are the link to state of bliss
The keys to glory that can’t be missed
Who is it that you want to be
Act on that thought accordingly
For when you do, with joy you’ll shout
That you’ve become what you think about!
What we think, we attract
Nothing ever has been so exact!
I live my life in this way you see
What ever I think I attract to me
I strive to fill my world with bliss
And always hold my thoughts to this
It’s not your genes that make up you
It’s what you’re thinking to be true!
We are the consequences of our thoughts
Think bliss my friend is what you ought
For in this state lies immense satisfaction
We become what we think about
It’s called the law of attraction!
First of all I am going to tell you a story about the four seasons,
winter summer spring and fall,
Its a story not to forget at all and it is easy to remember that
Fall is a season that likes it cool, the nice wind blowing as all the leaves make sounds as they hit the ground,
And Winter it's a season of snow with the frosty nicknames that everyone knows.
And Summer is the hotest season of all,bringing up the heat so much you wish it was still fall.
Now spring is the prettyest season I have seen, where everything is blooming and growing green.Its a season where all the birds start singing cause of the joy they have had with winter,summer, spring, and fall....
To the GOD of all creation:
First of all PAPA GOD, I ask YOU to forgive me and cleanse
me from all unrighteousness and cleanse my heart and my
mind for, I know that I have opened my mouth and spoken things
that would have much better left unsaid and now, I want to come to YOU and pray for our nation and family members who do not know YOU.
So now LORD, I ask YOU that YOU would touch this nation and
our leaders, our President and his family, our Vice President
and his family and all other members of his administration.
LORD I also ask that YOU would protect members of the press that
are unveiling what is happening deep inside this nation
at its core. I ask that every serving member of Congress,
and the Senate, Judges, our Pentagon and military, be touched by
YOUR SPIRIT, LORD that YOU would pour out YOUR SPIRIT
one more time on this nation which has strayed so far away from
YOU. GOD, that YOU would give us another chance, individually and
collectively as a nation to REPENT before the GOD of the ages.
Would YOU pour out of YOUR SPIRIT – a sin-killing revival
a devil stomping, BLOOD bought revival… Would YOU pour out
the FEAR OF GOD, that people could know like never before
that YOU are alive and YOU are still on YOUR throne and that they would
come to KNOW JESUS CHRIST as LORD and SAVIOR and that HE
is about to come back to earth for HIS church – the BRIDE OF CHRIST!
Would YOU touch our unsaved members of our families. Sons
and daughters, mothers and fathers, aunts and uncles, cousins
and nieces and nephews, grandchildren and great grandchildren,
sisters and brothers, in-laws and our neighbors and friends.
OH, GOD, we need YOU like never before!!! We are desperate
for YOUR touch, for YOUR presence, for YOUR leading, for
YOUR love, for YOUR forgiveness as, we have sinned before
YOU. LORD, YOU are needed and desired by many, many people
– please touch us again! Be LORD of this nation once again!!!
And, touch YOUR people, ISRAEL once again!
LORD, thank YOU for listening to my prayer and I am thanking
YOU for answering!!!
I love you LORD! YOUR daughter, Marilyn
