Best Flawless Poems
A rainbow took my breath away
Whilst on a train one summers day
Her vibrant arc I was in awe
Though folk beside me never saw
With heads bowed low they missed the show
The screens their windows, don’t you know
All Mother Nature’s flawless gems
Score well below the latest trends

FLAWLESS
A flawless world. Giving by your mother
Humanity holding hands like lovers.
Strung out deep into the sign of religion.
A flawless day at the park feeding pigeons
Attracting the positive light from the sun.
Where Global warming is undone.
A place where beauty is not found in the face.
Flawless beyond the mystery of space.
'Love' will be a feeling no one will resist.
'Hate' will be a word that won't exist.
Handing out smiles on a silver plate.
A world opened to the golden gate.
Flawless like the wind brushing my hair.
Where my heart is filled with the warmness of care.
A flawless victory, even if we must die!
A flawless world, in a flawless dream.
Now wake me up before I scream.

I am in your arms tonight
Can you feel me there?
All I am is breaking,
And I need your heart to hold
Together let us search through the rubble
To find treasures others would be blind to
I know that if I search with you
We will find happiness
We will find that love is kind
Your strength...I need it now
My words are running cold
Please hold,
Please hold me now
I have lost a soul I cannot bear
I have lost a part of me in a tumultuous sea
Of anger, misunderstanding and sadness...
As all of reality fades into us,
I ask you to show me your deepest side,
Your most beauteous light
So when I close my eyes in this fantasy
I will see beyond the pain
Beyond me
And into flawless you

Press a stain on my garnet lips,
polish rough to a flawless cut;
Cover my soft sigh in rose hips,
press a stain on my garnet lips;
Our bodies caress and eclipse,
fireworks and comets the gamut;
Press a stain on my garnet lips,
polish rough to a flawless cut.

FLAWS
I once stopped to pause
and think of my flaws
But I already knew
That I had very few
So I gave myself a round of applause!
FLAWLESS
I got no chance to be Flawless it's true
My wife says my Flaws are but two
I asked "What are they my Dear?"
Then she said loud and clear
"All that you say and all that you do!"

Flawless love,
Flawless assurance,
Flawless deliverance,
All without money,
All like honey,
Better than any.
Flawless love,
Flawless corrections,
No manipulation,
No distraction,
No commotions,
Plenty of emotions,
Nice justifications.
Flawless love,
Taking away diseases,
The captives he releases,
Never friendly with sickness,
Never! yes never reckless,
He gives salvation to those he fore knew.

Rhyme
My eyes slowly droop
Getting closer and closer
To darkness
But I still try to
Slap myself awake
And the process
Continues like that
For about five minutes
That seem like hours
To the half conscious me
Every time I inhale,
Your scent overwhelms me
A bit like cookies baking
A tad, of freshly cut grass
But mainly the smell of the sun
The sweet sweet smell
That mesmerizes me
Your warmth radiating
Keeping me safe
I feel you all over me
Even though you are
Just next to me
You aren't asleep yet
I can tell
You pretend to be
But your uneven breathing
Gives you away
You're eyelids are closed
And your long lashes
Flatter your perfect face
Each, crevice flawlessly formed
Your lips sturdy in position
But look longing for that kiss
That I have been holding onto
Your milk chocolate hair
Brushed slightly over your forehead
Your jaw relaxed
As you exhale, I feel
Warm moist air shower
My head, laid just below
As I rest it on your sturdy chest
I can feel every breath
And hear every beat
Of your perfect heart
I hold onto one hand
Desperately trying to stay awake
Savoring every one of these
Perfect moments
When you and I breathe together
And are one, warm and tight
"I love you," I whisper under my breath
I finally let my eyes shut, and begin to drift
Only just hearing the slightest sound
Of your smooth voice, loving me back...

(Froggy)
His big crooked smile; the bump on his nose;
His extra large feet with short stubby toes.
Eyes sort of popping beneath eyebrows bushy;
A spare tire middle with such a small tushy!
His loud guitar music; his funny guffaw;
His love poems so cheesy that fill her with awe;
His spending too much to save any money
Because he likes always pleasing his honey.
More froggy than prince, and odder than odd,
But that’s what she loves; he’s perfectly flawed.
(The Prince)
His brilliant white teeth; the cleft in his chin;
The beautiful body; the unblemished skin.
His elegant style; his baby blue eyes,
Manicured nails, costly suits and nice ties.
His house and his Benz; his deep golden tan:
All proof he’s a go-getting clever young man.
The many smart things to the right people said;
His time at the office so he’ll get ahead.
So seemingly flawless he just can’t see why
His girlfriend ran off with that flawed froggy guy!

Flawless Aster under Auspicious Cloud.
I find myself under an Auspicious cloud.
My sweet dreams overcome the flaws in disaster.
Smoothing away all my flaw's in my fear.
I slept under the star shape like an Aster.
Vanishing away the ugliness of my nightmares.
I awaken to a peaceful morning of tranquility.
In a fragrance path leading me to my own Dynasty.
I saw the solution that disabled the flaws of our unity.
Using myself perception of my abilities.
I am overwhelmed by the flawless gloom.
Accepting the careless ways of my responsibilities.
Surrounded by the human bloom.
I am cheerfully flowing out a perfectiveness of a glow.
My flaws have been cleansed and purified.
I joined the flowers of the radiant promising future.
To accomplished life in an auspicious way.
A flawless look into the obvious day.
A beautiful elegance in our harmonious way.
Unmarked in every soul with a purple ray.
Faultless, blameless, no need to beg and pray.
Unhurt like the beauty we find in the sky.
You hold me close with the whole feeling of love.
I am the Auspice in your eye.
Undamaged me with the atmosphere of your Aster wondrous sky.
Unharmed you stand in front of me.
I'm wild like an Aster flower in your hands so perfectly.
Smiles to the world full of flawlessness.
Like a diamond found in nature untouched and unbroken.
Spoken words clearly come out bless.
A star, two flowers, a cloud, an imaginable token.
Symbolizing the love with no weakness.
Impacted on kindness and daintiness.
Waking up to the the worlds of reality.
I turn around like the moon.
On my taste buds I flavored the blossom smell.
The brightness of a flawless day.
I brush the dust of my shoulders.
I have no anger to castaway.
I've earned no fault when it comes to reason.
Now it's time to comprehend to live in the new.
Forbid my self to dwell on the old.
Look into the beauty that our future world holds.
Close the vision that we only see things for its flaws.
Clear your mind to inner self of mortality.
Longing to see the Aster in the dark sky.
I own the impurity of my air to the Auspicious cloud.
To absolute revive the love of the things that are alive.

Free verse
Life can be glorious and life can be serene
Life can be discouraging and life can be mean
Life can be first love and life can also be its loss
Life can be a helping hand and life can be an albatross
Life can be a soft caress and life can punch you in the gut
Life can bring you happiness and life can leave you in a rut
Life can bring you disappointment and life can lift your spirits high
Life can bring you riches and life can leave you high and dry
Life can take away your pride and life can leave you without a friend
Life can bring you to your knees and life can seem a virtual dead end
What is this thing we view as life with its constant ups and downs?
To feel, to breath, to hurt, to love, to die amidst a million smiles and frowns
We didn’t ask to be here; we could have just as well remained as dust
Instead we find ourselves alive and so to stay alive we must
So how do we go on from here, given the situation that exists?
Should we choose to make the best of it with all its turns and twists?
Or should we find the nearest closet and hide behind its door?
Peeking out only now and then, never venturing out to re-explore
The choice is yours and yours alone my friend, only you can finally decide
Here’s hoping you choose to face life head on and give it one hell of a ride.

We are born into a Utopian world where everything lives and let lives
Politeness and manners exist as society never lets sieve
We learn to live with our neighbours amidst colours that nature has born
Living well into our tomorrows without the fear of being war-torn
Prejudice has never been heard whilst cussing never nears our ears
To walk our streets at whenever, over our shoulder you will never fear, fears
When we are born into a Utopian world where everything lives and let lives
The reason this can all come about, is purely because everyone gives
* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ *
We are born from a fallopian world where reasons dictate how we live
Politeness and manner exist, sadly society has allowed them to sieve
Many learn to live with their neighbours amidst colours of nature born
Some live into their tomorrows, many enter the doors of war-torn
Prejudice appears to be worsening, cussing appears the norm
Many are scared to walk our streets as many out there have form
When we are born from the fallopian world where reasons dictate how we live
We don't enter what we hope is Utopia, many take and rarely give

It’s amazing what is seen as nice
clear skin with a soul stark as ice.
Long legs with a crotch
and out she will trot
at the end of his arm, once or twice.
Sweet hearts are all hidden it seems
men want only a tart for their dreams.
A crooked smile to beguile,
a tiny mind infantile
and Boozoo’s coming apart at the seams.
When kindness is seen as a bore
All you’ll find is flaw after flaw
Then your just desserts
Will come in short skirts
While your wife gets the house and much more!

Flaws
The bugspray was very reliant.
It covered the ants all compliant.
They nested all day
then came out to play.
Mutations had turned them to giants.
Flawless
It turns out the spray was not lethal.
The ants drank it all and were gleeful.
They danced and they played.
And most of them stayed,
where they could be sure of a refill!!!

My Flaws Indeed
My nose is too flat, I have a double chin
I am not sure when face wrinkles started to win
My hair is curly, sometimes a frizzy mess
A hand -held blow dryer is some days useless
One leg is too short from a knee alternate
It takes a great effort to walk really straight
I have high arches, I cannot wear high heels
Nor can I wear a dress, without curve appeals
Cancer diagnosis left me, half a whole
Why could it not have been my largest black mole
I could go on and confess all of my flaws
What the heck, I drew the shortest of the straws
--------------------------------------------------------------
My Flawless Breed
My smile is genuine, still have all my teeth
To my family, genes I hope to bequeath
My hearing is still good for all that it is worth
But it was much better, at my precious birth
My eyes see very well since I had R K
Once saw a foot, now I see a mile away
A sense of humor I do have plenty of
I plan on sharing, with all the ones I love
My heart is big enough to catch love to hold
And strong enough until I get extremely old
My talents are many just to name a few
Most of all I treasure everything I do

FLAWS
Seems to me this nation would have less flaws
If we could purge millions of inane laws
Made by congresspersons
Alas, it only worsens
'Tis enough to tighten this feller's jaws
FLAWLESS
Though Wyatt Earp's modus operandi was far from flawless
He knew how to administer justice to the lawless
He faced some rowdy cowboys in a godforsaken locale
Leavin' 'em sprawlin' in the dust at the OK Corral
