Best Force Poems

Tender touch gently soothes an ailing soul 
Wordless discourse greets eyes of love
A mother's hug comforts her child's ego
Love is the force that makes the world go

Kinder hearts ache sensing others' pain
A prayer mightily calls for suffering to end
Flowers of goodwill shed feelings of woe
Love...

AMIDST POUNDS OF FORCE and FURY

Conscious cold clouds sweeping, killing softly the suns bright,
romancing evocatively with the winds, aghast it blows! Blows!
Gray to black are the skies shadows. Shafts of light longer,
they tantalize in between blows joined clear by a decibel bang!

Frightened golden grains for...

Faith is a powerful force;
requiring absolute trust.
It allows you to believe;
you are loved and not alone.

Suffering persecution;
sometimes, all you have is faith.
And yet, it's unshakable;
in times of adversity.

Praying perpetuates hope;
opening your heart to God.
And when you first feel His love;
everything you thought changes.

Belief can imbue...

I see the bitterness polluting this world 
a multitude of evil hides then divides 
conquering with twisted visions of democracy 
one joke history repeating past horrors return 

Hurting innocent people tells another story 
bullies who think they are above human justice 
aggressors filled with pride...

I Force My Drink, Dark Poison To Swallow

Chastise me in my deep, darkest sorrow,
young lad of hopes and meandering streams.
I long for relief now not tomorrow,
or next year in lost fields of shallow dreams.

My goblet of pain it over floweth,
into forests of low hanging black...

"Poetry is a life-cherishing force. For poems are not words, after all, but fires for the cold, ropes let down to the lost, something as necessary as bread in the pockets of the hungry."

Wild were-women roaming in the hills, cliff dwellers around 
Avoiding banshee ghost riders, sniffing for them in earthy ground.
Shushing there were-pups lest their hidden unnatural selves be found.
Banshee ghost riders suddenly shush, listening to a baby were-wolf sound.
Heading toward a large crevice, which leads to...

Kundalini life force,
Chi or Holy Spirit
or say, power of God,
pervades each cell of form;
why then are we not awed? 

Kundalini life force,
crystallised living light,
is our soul’s true essence,
energy kinetic,
awakened by conscience.

Kundalini life force,
rises from root to crown,
entwining us with space,
that in bliss mists we drown,
if...

 exuberant with life, she takes her stand.”

Dancing on her toes....
Beneath the tall pines outside.
A little stage, a performance for 
animals and birds!

Dancing, swirling, in love with the 
scent of a pine starry night
Wishing, if only, she could leap high enough
To embrace God's glimmering moonlight!

The young allow their imagination to just soar!
The...

We dwell in the sanctuary of slumber.
Where stars fade away, light may encumber.
Oh, the comfort found in weak rays of light.
Do they disappear quickly as a...

What is the meaning of it all?
If I told you, you’d surely bawl.
Cry like a baby, yes you would,
If all of truth you understood.

Truth can be so enlightening,
Also, can be quite frightening.
For from the start, we’ve known it all.
Our greatest challenge is recall.

When recalled the...

I lost my whole family
So I took in a neighbor
I have paid, sold, washed, shopped, cleaned, and done for this neighbor more than anyone in his life has
His own children won't call him, 
but I do
His ex wife is dating his old friend
I continue to...

White stars, red and white stripes.
	Blue for loyalty.
Waving in the wind, instilling pride.
	Reminding us of pledge.
		Apple pie, Chevrolet, John Wayne.

Viet Nam, Gulf War, 
	Freedom of speech, freedom riders,
                 ...
