Best Guaranteeing Poems

Meaning of oath no longer has a covenant
Guaranteeing to future commitment of pledge
Rendering futile all promises of yesterdays 
As grief ridden past dominates today's sorrow
For hope's now dead, as there's no tomorrow.

Yet, I reminisce within glory of daybreaks
And opulence of colors in grandeur of sunsets
Spinning...

If my life flashed before my eyes…

There would be a moment of sadness
    Yet, there would be more joy and gladness

There would be a smile of recollection 
     With the melody of tender affection

There would be assurance and...

You grieve for Autumn, watching the leaves die,
and as emotional tears build, you cry.
For Fall becomes the harbinger of death,
watching the leaves die; you grieve for Autumn.

Autumn drapes the land in a scarlet shroud,
sensing Death is approaching; Summer cowed.
And acquiescing to Winter's command,
in a scarlet...

I had an image of wrapping paper
and God showed me something amazing,
how a simple image can reveal so much
like explaining to a child God shown me this
so amazing. 



A gift of life
a gift of love
sent from God above
he carefully wraps his love around us
and seals...

To be king in the land of princess
You must be dauntless.
When invited to tea you must comment on
Her appearance and dress
With open candidness.
Express
How glad and honored you are to be in the
Presence of the princess who will know you
Are playing out her childishness.
Bless
All invisible and...

Around this globe American heroes rest in hallowed grave,
Fallen upon the field of battle, our precious liberties to save.
Most have their honored names forever etched in stone;
Other stones display that simple phrase, "Known But To God Alone."

Who could that gallant warrior be? we will ever...

“belles lettres” 

It’s a slow drifting
off, that moment 
before you dive 
into the dark

you surface 
to find a boat 
surrounded by 
shining pearls,

Styx, a mirror 
reflecting 
otherworldly stars
hypnotic, 

you trail
your long 
pale slender fingers 
in the forbidden water,

it is cool to the touch
a new fever...

The runway runs into her trained eyes
like a roadway that rushes red
into the dreams of her electrified soul,
she's so pretty in her disciplined perfection
a young body that knows years of rigor and ritual
with a mind measured for acrobatic ambition, 
she's run this gauntlet so many...

Bus stop was the place where the intrigued eyes met
Romancing the atmosphere without uttering a single word
Enacting a introduction to two lonely strangers that feels
A calid embrace without touching any part of their skins 
Taking away the fears and disillusions from the far past
Holding a...

When hearts are torn in sorrow
And days await weeks to borrow 
A scented Eurasian herb called yarrow
I stand afar in glee;

When blessings are so nearby in mass
And hedgehogs hop upon the green-grass
On a melody for a dancer trying a chasse
I stand afar in glee;

When love...

Though this baby boomer,

Something triggers three limericks a day
It could be as innocuous as a bale of hay
Or an amazing new invention
Guaranteeing love of our brethren
Aw shucks, but I'm ready for the accolades

CHAOS INTO SWEET

Souls become one
One single heart
One single breath

Breath of hope
Hope for today
Hope for eternity
Eternity learning coupleness
Eternity learning forgiveness

as things speed up 
at an ever faster clip
they're ready to interrupt
my mind's day nondescript
to mark my thoughts - every tiny blip

and keep them cross-indexed
in a clouded database
kept in the current context
never to be erased
their potential to be raised

and analyze my standard deviation
modeled with statistical...
