Best Forthright Poems


Strong and Forthright

So strong and forthright
My mother
A lady of stature
A generous soul
Her early life
She tried to forget
Her spirit was strong
So her life went on
              ~
Towards the end
She came to stay
Our roles now sadly reversed
Mother needed help to bathe
now weak with pain
still strong and brave
As this precious memory comes to mind
Her voice I hear so loud and clear...

  ‘Darling you shouldn’t be doing this
     for I am your mother and you are my child

My reply to her with tears in my eyes...
   
‘As a child you loved and cared for me 
    and I return that love and care for you’

She smiled ~ a smile I'll ne’er forget
Splashing me gently 
Getting me wet
I cared for her
For just a short time
And held her hand 
As her soul took flight

                    ~ part of my heart went with her that night ~

Written 2nd August 2020
Poignant memory of my Mother aged just 67
~ HER BIRTHDAY TODAY ~ 7TH AUGUST ~ GOD BLESS YOU AUDREY MAY ~

Cold Embrace

Something happens when we accept our own defeat
There's confusion and silence ego trip wakens from sleep
Without knowing we abandon our plan to continue
Justifiably argued grandiose our opinions 
Even though there's a part clinging on to the truth
Snuffed with malice deniably wrapped in reproof
We ignore it in spite of the honesty seethed
Bringing shame to toughest of men to their knees
I would offer solutions garner values and proofs
But Noone cares about honor and conviction, they lose
Genuinely said I just wish I could help
Even if I'm rebuked I will forgive you for myself
Funny isn't it? One day we will all be dead
And therefore I can die knowing there was nothing left unsaid....

Father -The Best

Father is Forthright
Till you are right 
Father is upright 
Till you are straight
Father is Outright  
Till you set right 

??Father is the guide
 Till you Ride 
Father is the friend 
Till the life end 
Father is the philosopher 
Till you won't commit error 

Father is present 
Till you become recent 
Father is Nurture 
Till your Future 
Father becomes past 
To make you fast 

Father 
The Creator of the opportunity 
To make everything's possibility 
Father 
The Curator of the facilitation 
To see optimum utilization  

Father is the Life force
To  keep energy in force  

Father infuses goodness 
To shape in Wellness 

Father imparts Firmness 
To keep in steadiness 

Father Instills power
To infuse all vigor 

Father is Accommodative 
To lead the life qualitative 

Father nourishes in continuance 
To  Increase the life expectance 

Father' s action is full of Thrill 
To vent out the feeling of ill 

Father the protector of very nature
To keep up the variable fact of creature 

Father respects diversified 
     Biological life with agility 
To deal respective changes in 
      The lifestyles of  fragility 

Father cares with Cosmic Nature 
To protect to be alive without fear 

None other than the father 
can do the best for you 

Salutations to all 
      the Fathers


Forthright

know not what the world is know not how to move it Only can man accept this world for her shape Accept her for her gifts But we fight over her We fight on her my mind was made once we were lost she is now imprisoned in our war we are the polution we are the sin End not the wars End not the sinner Clense the filth this is the last chance Flee from this scean escape to the skys all worlds share the same sky our mother will not be forgotten

Forthright Plight

I stare into the abyss
Drenched in darkness 
Such astute draconianic situation 

How deep it is
For pareidolia as coping mechanism
A mirk gorge

Painfully intoxicating 
I like to dern in the night
Yet I seek to be in sight

I am an aonaran 
A nyctophile
The aggrieving jeopardize situation 

My hands darkened with what I've done
I sit in the dark
Alone
