Best Guideline Poems


Premium Member The True Meaning of Achieving

The way I see it, everyone is either an achiever or they’re not. There's no spectrum at all to this. Every single person in the world has different degrees, levels, and desires of what they want to achieve in the world and in their life. Some people want to achieve few things, some people want to achieve many things. Some people want to achieve small for the sake of simplicity in life, some people want to achieve high for the sake of success in life. Also, the true form of success in life is happiness. Moreover, nobody can always get what they want. Everybody is too different to the point that forming a general guideline as to what is worth and not worth achieving in life is completely and utterly impossible.

God Understands

God Understands

In life, we tend to make excuses
For all the things we did
And blame our childhood
It started when we were kids
What about being raised on the right
Track in church since the age of 2
How do you explain why you are 
Doing, or do the things you do
God gives us choices and he
Knows the aftermath
But we use God’s grace as an excuse
To choose the wrong path

God understands that loneliness
Works best for me
I have random love partners not
Thinking of death or STD
God understands that I drink to
Pull away from reality’s hell
Not once thinking about the
Organs that will fail
God understands my need for 
Someone to hold me at night
Do you think he will send a woman
Or man you constantly have to fight

God understands us all
He made both me and you
He wants us to know 
That he understands
Every situation and problem
 We go through
Have you ever thought what 
Would happen if you fell short
Of God’s grace and glory one day
Have you ever thought what would
Happen if God turns a deaf 
Ear when you pray

A thought you don’t want to answer
Or really want to know
Show a little gratitude to the man
That caught you when you
Felt like letting go
Make wiser choices
And do what’s right
Don’t be that worrisome person
That only calls when they 
Want something at night

We all have a manual, (the Bible)
On how to have a smoother life and
Constant protection by God’s hand
So read the guideline and get more
Pride about yourself, and stop excusing
Your habits with well----------
God understands.

Premium Member Back To School

I sit behind the computer
scripting the daily lesson plan, 
while hoping there’s no intruder,
of them I’m not an eager fan.

A guest speaker comes to impart
something in boring monotone.
I hope he imparts something smart
or I’ll be reading on my phone.

A meeting scheduled noon today
is for, I’m not sure what or why!
The dull message makes my mind stray; 
for this once, I wish time would fly!

My pencils are sharpened just so.
The computer is securely encoded.
My thoughts are ready to outflow
and my brain is close to imploded.

My nails are done; my hair is styled;
new shoes I bought last month, or week.
Addled from the hard push so wild, 
the harried week seems rather bleak.

All tasks done as guideline bids.
Today is our convocation. 
I don’t know about all the kids,
But I need a long vacation!

The Cycle of Life and Death

Life is an origin creation 
Death is a final destination. 

Someone says, life depends on humans' fate
But for me, life depends on how you to create. 
Thinking how to against the destiny
But in the end, you'll need to face the reality.

Says, fate believers have faith like an open shrine
Like life as nice as fine, death as a destined sign. 
Fate exists, but it is not indubitable guideline. 

Like some spiritually martial I read and saw
Within the operation of the heavenly devine law
Even the best destiny will have always some flaw.

The world is always moving.
The universe repeatedly rotating. 
Like strength and weakness are hard to separate
Life and death will eventually meet. 

Human is mortal but perpetual
Soul is mystical but eternal. 
Both of them are imperishable
As life and death unceasingly cycle.

Its Destined

What has been done on heaven
Will be done on earth,
They coming, the new movement set,
The mass delusions created by the state
The lies that built the world
The mason architecture 
The great pyramid, the human project 
Mutating animals to beings
Brothers modified by unknown gens 
To curse their seeds, 
the master plan of biological warfare,
Diseases made for them,
To maintain the brotherhood population,
Prisons created to contain them,
The next generation oh damn!
The psychological imprisonment 
Change them from man to woman
The mental confusion,
The contemplated mass murder of brothers

Kingdom come, the creation of heaven
Witness it happen,
Rebel they'll make you a tourist 
Rebel they say you an anti Christ
Politics and religion,
The master plan pinned in the highest degree but we in deep, 
from ancient times to modernization 
A New era coming, 
the mutation of beings into robots, 
Wired and monitored,
captured for no reason, 
the future of perfection,
perfect society for the mind controllers, 
The game of chess disguised as a way of  living,

The timeline, the guideline 
Written in the stars,
Reflected upon man,
What has been done on heaven,
Will be done on earth, 
Its destined, from the beginning 
When they stole all the knowledge,
Left brothers with bones and rocks,
We recreated a new empire,
It was all planned, 
kings and queens of the land,
 to right down slavery 
Took there rocks too
Left them with animals,
 they become friends 
Animals Taught them the knowledge of survival and Spiritual enlightenment,
The sea and air beings came
 made people eat the animals, 
So the food chain was built
To guide us, so we can be modified,
Eating food that cause's diabetes and all kinds of disease 
To alter of gens and weaken our immune 
System,
more deaths, more money And That's the system, 
everybody is locked away 
humans and animals 
We all in this.

Beyond Ours

Our person; our weapon
Our love; our hope 
Our partner; our friend
Our home; our sanctity.
Our garden wall; our security.
Our family: our identity.
Our children; our future.
Our culture: our guideline.
Our religion; our belonging.
Our country; our pride

What is beyond this invisible wall around?
A world to know, understand and respect.
A choice; 
the goldfish in a small glass aquarium, in the ocean 
Or the fish in the vastness and depth of the ocean?

Premium Member Peace For Divine Rest

God grants peace* divine
Bearing heaven’s sign
Gives light
Beyond the sunshine
Vanquishing heart’s whine
To fight
Against distress twine
With Scripture guideline
So right.

Serene prayer flight
Along faith-propped might
Brings zest
To worship delight
Of gratitude height
Heart blest
Stays safe day and night
In the Lord’s clear sight
Not stressed.

Midst refreshing rest
For celestial quest
I’m fine
Nestling in Christ’s breast
Toward service crest
Align 
Striving for the best
While conquering test  
To shine.

*2Thessalonians 3:16 Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.

Beyond Compare

good morning

the entry below is a "goshi" format
before anyone makes a comment on the format
for all of us who have posted on various sites
know each site has their own definition guideline and rule
it should be universal but we all know it isn't
it escapes me from which site I found the format
more than one stanza would make it a goshi suite
just as a tanka suite or haiku and senyru suite

I would further like to say
I'm certain we have all joined in on the format challenges
writing an entry from a to z with every format
the two hardest for me will always be the chant royal and sonnet
for those of you who continuously write in the formats
blessings to you and you have my truest respect and admiration
thank you

with all this being said
here is my "goshi" format
one stanza with rhyming optional
and with no rule of meter or unmeter
I listed my entry under light verse poetry

"beyond compare"

have I told you the worth of your open arms
have I showed you my love and the all of it
not because of your smile or sparkling eyes
and not because we express dress to undress
with illumination you move me beyond compare

Premium Member On Distant Shores

A feeling that's always eluded you:
love was a word seldom spoken or heard.
Feeling loved was something you never knew
as a child; that whole concept seemed absurd.
Yet poets say it's a magical word,
embedded in the tune of a songbird.

In your dreams, love awaits on distant shores,
and you wonder if those dreams could come true.
Perhaps you should go on romantic tours
and move on with your life, try something new.
Pack up your suitcase, bid this town adieu,
and for once, do something solely for you.

Travel the world in pursuit of your dreams:
your chance at happiness is on the line.
Take a chance; say goodbye to silent screams,
and seek out love's intimate telltale sign.
Trust in fate, and let hope be your guideline:
ignite passion's flame, and let it shine.

Long, lonely nights alone are nothing new:
so, go find your soulmate, who's lonely too.

Smokey Lungs

Crackling Breathing
Wheezing black lungs
Toxins are seething
Tar parked among
Stubbornly apparent
Selfishly coherent 
Still boldly smoking away

Stunningly idiotic
Inhalingly hypnotic
Ground Breaking Discoveries
Show less lung recoveries 
Generations of addiction
Some have permanent affliction
They need inhalers today

Grippingly enthralling
People continue falling
Drug dealers are victorious
Selling drugs unglorious
Getting away with lawlessness
Covering up their flawlessness
Some smokers will never change

Guiltily societies hide
Gropingly searching for pride 
Science blindly leading the blind
Legally no guideline is kind
Cancer seems ignored today
Smoking lungs expel away 
Destroying life’s hope… is strange~

The War That Can Be Won

The mind commands the body immediately obeys, the mind order itself and it meets arrogance and lets that mean genie out of the bottle.

In your addictions the line between life and death is very thin a war that has only one win if you keep using and letting that evil genie in; death is slow and sure. These are the guideline that you have set; stop and think, do you like being satan pet? keep this thought on your mind, the setting of guidelines belong to God not man!

Logic is blinded and you forget about the past, the future is an unknown; why just to get high? Every endeavor is a challenge is it not, just for a high that just don't last.

Fear not all is not lost! Addiction is a war that can be won, that is if you keep certain things in your mind, fighting it with all your heart, and all of your mind. Lean not on your own understanding, but finding faith in God of your own understanding;. Place your trust in Him; He not demanding.

Addiction and recovery encompass neatly identical tactics, they are both learned behavior and they are both controlling factors. Neither one accept anything less than total victory. the first one will bring about your destruction and second one brings about a chance to live a life free from bondage.

Open your eyes don't let illogical thinking be your guide, living life with satan by your side, just for the brief moment of that high. This life type of living is shaded and it is unkind; demons controlling your mind.
 Word to the wise, wisdom and strength comes from the One that is Setting most high; let the Lord edify. Life in the Word will become excitedly gratifying ; in this your will find strength without any boundaries and all that you need is faith and belief that Jesus can set you free; Pick up His words and read John 3:16.  
Nothing beat a failure but a try; so I pray for you and so please stop getting high.

From One To Twelve

Holy God gave the guideline!
             One heard the word,
             two doubled at a time
              three voices sublimated them,
              four in group was done ...
             Five in a quintet of faith,
              six in vocal ensemble.
              seven unison arrows.
              eight in sound octaves,
               nine novenas of relieving.
               ten already as favorites,
               eleven blew trumpets
               Twelve herald prophets ...
             So the divine truths
             spread across the planet ...!
