Best Glowed Poems
Your Face Glowed Like Brightest Of Rose Flowers
In that past life you were the only one,
sweetest filling in my first apple pie.
Now time cries out loud, we are both undone
our broken tears fall like rains from the sky.
Weep not fair maiden, life gives and it takes,
for its shadows have sad echoes ringing.
Mourn ye not so, for dearest heaven's sakes,
tomorrow life will gift dances and singing.
Midnight, you swore eternity was ours,
yet Fate that wretched beast has final say.
Your face glowed like brightest of rose flowers
Rejoice in those treasures, we had our day!
In hidden paths, we may yet meet again.
Not as star-crossed lovers but as lost friends!

His nose glowed bright red
One evening while Santa was strolling
And empty wine bottle came rolling
It bounced off his toe
Got stuck in the snow
His patience no good at controlling
Then snuck up and caught Rudolph drinking
He staggered about slowly sinking
His nose glowed bright red
It’s then Santa said
“No wonder the damn thing is blinking”

Bodies touched and hearts glowed
When you held me near
I knew that time was fleeting
But of that, I had no fear
We had nothing in common
And our love was built on sin
I was there below you body
But what I felt was more than skin
We were always with each other
You stole my heart and my time away
And now when you try to talk to me
I don’t know what to say
It should never be like this
And I’m praying that it won’t
But it’s too hard to see you
When I feel this and you don’t
But my heart is so resilient
And it’s been through this before
A love walks in and stays awhile
But quickly exits through the door
Yes, I still want you near me
Or at least I think I do
Even if I may regret
Ever having fallen in love with you
I am lonely as the hills
On a cold Christmas eve
Can even feel the chills
Almost want to leave
I remember Christmas as child
And how the fireplace glowed
Sometimes the weather was mild
Then we would wish it had snowed
I can still smell the baking
My mother used to make
Think I will start making
What my mother used to bake
I start to make some cookies
And baking up some pies
I was not taught by rookies
Can make a good dough rise
I start setting up my tree
And putting on the lights
I really want to see
How it will look tonight
I will always know
Family will be here
And I will always show
My love is always near
To have a happy holiday
Keep your family close
And always try to find a way
To show they are your loves
To you all I say Merry Christmas
Will you have a very good night
Just get into the spirit of Christmas
It will be a very good sight
Fireworks Glowed On
Fireworks glowed on your sweet love.
but blown burst on betrayal.
Still soul empyrean astral.
Heart got burnt, mind to observe.
Silent soul tried to solace.
Fireworks to extinguish
spreading ash on scar and bruise.
Heart swept ashes leaving no trace.
Neither I forgave nor forgot.
He was guilty, I was not wrong.
His shameless deceit made me strong.
Innocence I totally lost.

I am always willing to learn, I am curious to learn about myself
And I am man enough to admit when I need help
Accepting of my mistakes even if I don't know what it’s for
My radiant smile will always testify to me being honest and filled with candor
And I know how to adjust, my personality never festers
But what else do I excel in, as a human or as a creature?
What else makes up my glorious features
My work ethic is established, I am a go-getter
I’m not scared, not afraid, and not at all apprehensive, as a whole
And if you know me personally, you know I will hit my goal
Because that’s just who I am, I know what’s within my hands
A person who has the mentality of saying “I can”
I would find a solution even if there was a road with dead ends
That’s how you know already I’m determined
Last attribute I see that shines from within
And how do you know I want to see my peers win?
I’m a natural leader, I don’t follow a stigma
Blessed about me is my natural charisma
I know myself well, I appreciate everything that I have shown
And I know for me that I glowed within my ode
