Best Give Poems

 O beloved rose in my 
  garden of fairy-lamps,
would you bloom in hues of stardust?
let the daffodil moon 
  envy this fragrant field of 
immortal lyrics~
for I’ll treat you with kindness,
 scatter herbs of compassion,
 with picturesque patience, 
 water your greying...

The give and take in love should reach a mean
whereby the two be equally disbursed,
so givers' hearts would never suffer lean,
cold hungry hours without love reimbursed.

And those who take would never reach the stage
of ravenous and selfish, one-way traits.
Such balance would create a better age,
if...

pink and sparkles spout
above liberty statue
cloud tauts happiness
fireworks all around applaud
hands clap on soil and sea

the swirl of nations,
a landing party of dreams...
but some from afar
drag chains as if dead, rowing
amidst the cotton

the white plant—has thorns—
placed on Jesus saving crown.
sowed on plantations —
a reaping of...

I will not give you the moon
rather I will give you moonlight
glowing on a calm sea
where the stars glittering gleams
lay on top of each wave, rolling onto the shore
where I will give you my most precious jewel
my heart

I will not give you the sun
rather I...

I will give you my heart
If you promise to kiss it
With butterfly kisses
And gentle whispers of kindness

I will give you my love
If you promise to delight in it
With compassionate embraces
And a dance through faith

I will give you my laughter
If you promise to speak of it
With...

Wash my heart and make it clean
Remove the grime from where it's been 

Take my idle hands make them yours
Use them to open holy doors

My cracked lips long to sing your praise
Be my Mistro the rest of my days  

Guide my calloused feet along...

creamy cheesecake inches deep  
red strawberry crowned,
mounds of whipped chocolate fluff  
cresting almond cake,  
maple pecan pie
sticky crunch-

Take away my static hair,
My thick, wool toque, my glassy eyes.
Take away the chilly air,
The endless clouds, the covered skies.

Give me back my sun-streaked hair,
My floppy hat, my shaded eyes. 
Give me back the sea-salt air,
The fluffy clouds, the crystal skies. 

Take away my dull,...

Reflection upon the man's generosity
You are blessed with holy words and pure good deeds
Those who are generous and those who never want to share
Everything can be used - over and over again
Get rid of something that has collected dust for a long time
It is spring's...

I can not give account of ways that I love you
For there’s no conscious thought to clothe the undefined
The boundless universe has left me not a clue
And so the vastness of my love stays unconfined

It is beyond the reaches of your searching mind
A feeling and...

I've gone too far to ever come back
bad luck stuck in a mental trap 
I’m going to start accepting facts
Suck in no air so lungs collapse

I had ambitions to reach the top
Until I saw how high it sits
A fear of heights told me "stop"
So I...

Give not your heart to hasty pleas
Resist lips of slick, pretty lies
Who weave duplicity and tease
Value yourself; you are the prize
Who is not won by shallow tries
Sugary words are spun of air
The blood of effort is more rare
Take careful measure of what grows
For the soil,...

Velvet fell from the SKY ON a Boston day by the bay
Cotton caressed thy lips gentility so that you might sigh
While you tried to convince me you and I could beg to fly 
Suddenly uncertainty and fearfulness drew night but I never knew why

Other people...

Finding love is our unsure heart’s goal as edged on by our confident souls.  Some journey through life with love as their primary dream, only to give up after giving all to failures’ torturous theme.  They may wish their constant dream to unfold,...

Keep making progress
Learn from your losses
Embrace new challenges you'll face
You will always have options
God gave you two legs
So you would'nt be stuck like a starfish...
