Best Idolize Poems


Premium Member When I Hold Your Hand

When I hold your hand, happily you trek along 
Because you trust me to know where I'm going.
Listening to my stories, you hold my sight intently
Being proud of me, you consider me all-knowing.

Whether I teach or not, you always learn from me
For innocently you believe, I know when I speak 
Yet, I am just a trainee learning on the job
Crossing milestones with immeasurable doubt.

Trying to live life, you may emulate and idolize
Hoping you never find out, how unsure I was.
I stand out in a crowd as someone you rely on
For I've been there since the day you were born.

Molding your talents you grew into who you are
Illuminating my planetary life like a shining star. 
For you my child, my flame blazes unperturbed
When I hold your hand, you revive my aging soul.

Premium Member Always a Princess

In my father's eyes, I'll always be his princess,
No matter how old I've grown, he still sees
His little girl, dancing across the invisible stage
Before him.
A living Cinderella in miniature form, whom
Will never grow up, and thinks her dad is prince
Charming, and the strongest man on earth.
Cradling within this wondrous heart, is devotion’s
Biggest fan, the man I call my father, he's protector,
Comforter, and the everlasting image, of the perfect
Man that I idolize.
No wizard's wand or sword, holds more magic
Than his tender words of wisdom, as I stroll
Down the yellow brick road of life, I'm his
Dorothy, and he is, the Wizard of my oz.
Oh Papa, you've instilled the wonderment
Of this world within me, and I know, no matter
Where I roam, he shall always be a part
Of me.
You've always said, no matter how old I get
That within thy heart, a princess remains, timeless, 
Ageless, as if Alice, hidden behind the looking glass, 
Peering through from wonderland, magical world.
Perfection's cherished rose, whom never loses it's
Petals, but blossoms nourished by loves fertile soil,
That only a father's faith can provide.
I'll always be his princess, no matter what bad
Choices I may make in life, I know he'll pick me
Up and smooth out the wrinkles in my velvet gown,
Wiping away my tears, turning them instantly into diamond
Shards, and letting me dance away again, clapping
For this his darling princess. 
So let the musical waltz of life, play forever forward,
As I lightly tip toe, across destiny’s ballroom floor.
My dancing card remains eternally full, written within
One name stands out, it is yours dearest sweet man.
He is after all my prince charming, and I am
His dearest little girl, and of coarse in his eyes
Always his little princess.

Premium Member Orchid Woman

Oh you know the type—
the orchid woman

a cosmopolitan who cosmo sips
between snips of gist
her charisma a starship —collides
with your star-full eyes
supernova for Casanova
her pouty lips knit a glamour-mag smile 
rows of sugar-white pearls
strung shiny straight
behind wet-red slicks of a Revlon stick
—cherry-juice bait dilates your want to taste

orchid woman’s glamorized mouth
for the masses to idolize
for many to fantasize
for her to tantalize
and advertise 
there’s no need to compromise
with you 
or your penny-candy conversation—
when beauty is legal tender
why invest in a waste of words?

ooh, orchid woman is  w-i-l-d
an exotic sun-tanned narcotic
erotic her despotic bloom 
quixotic your contemplation;
your entangled-limbs-expectation 
that this frilly filly blooms just for you
and oh!  just look how the honey makers buzz
watch the money-makers spend their sums—
worker bees blinded by her blonde neon 
fall in her wake…
or maybe ‘diamond pro’s’ bling 
stings and wrings their eyes
…who cares who falls..
when mere red rose adorations 
and sticky sap Hallmark incantations
bear not the fruits of 24-karat donations— 

Mmm! Mmm! 
her traipse does shake like mango jelly sweet
orchid woman’s long-stemmed catwalk walk
full-rounded  bouncy-buoyant  racy-lacy-ecstasy 
yup.. a thoroughbred— she’ll have you ridin’ high
to your credit and blame
you won’t feel her stiletto tips 
when she diva-gold-digs ya
as nothing more than a runway-ramp
all slinky-strut-hips  
and stay-the-night-vamp
till fly girl wields her strappy high-heels 
in a rhythmical click-clack 
all over the next middle-age stage

indeed! orchid woman
a hot-house hottie
fussy stuffy lil hussy— 
...too much water?
….not enough water?!
oh no! she’s wilted—
sniffle.. snivel.. “where did I go wrong?!!”

mm-hmm.. high maintenance is  s-u-c-h  a turn on…
yeah… orchid woman is  w-i-l-d  (eye roll..)


Premium Member MAGA Deep

They idolize a villain with no integrity.
A conman void of honor and filled with misery.

A man who cares for no one, each sentence ends with me.
For this, the MAGA cult, will give-up sweet democracy.

Uneducated, ignorant, they’ll reap all that they sow.
A life without the Courts and laws they all have come to know.

The weapons which they cherish would be a memory.
The Constitution and Amendments, gone with history.

‘Free Speech’ would be forbidden, for only tyrants speak.
The free Press would be silenced, our future, sad and bleak.

They take for granted freedoms they’ve had since they were born.
To honor a false idol who lives inside his storm.

And that which made them human is somehow sadly gone. 
No empathy or sympathy, just angry MAGA pawns.

Now some are on a mission for a cure to this disease.
To date, it is elusive, like the wind inside the trees.

Times of India a Source 1

Whenever there are cold cruel cries
Times of India appears in full-size
For help of common to criticize
All unjust, biased  and unfair ties.
All articles or poems to visualize 
Are supplied freely by the Wise.
We feel after reading it energize
Quench of knowledge here pacifies.
All sort of news or ads or pies
Are available in format revise.
I tell all my children to idolize 
TOI as it never does pressurize 
One to form opinion and actualize
Things and never does stupefies.
Gives articles to easily memorize
Or modern development supplies 
On different arenas edgewise.
Has decency if wronged to apologize
And never we found it terrifies;
For Improvement TOI is a device
Never taught us to compromise.
Let mater be national or localize
Gets place in it to immortalize.
Hoping better future TOI allies
And for our metal exercise.

Premium Member The Politics of Left and Right

Republicans? Immoral! Lord, that's all there is to that!
Like in the song, "Their heads are full of cotton, hay, and rags,"
Though Democrats (not better) hate to stoop so low to win,
They feel Christ's death, seek brotherhood, at times admit to sin.

Republicans are arrogant, love "trickle down largess,"
To get rich, they'd leave others bare, stark naked, not a stitch,
The way to know Republicans? They idolize control,
While Democrat's may lust, they sometimes think about their soul!

Republicans say Dems enable poor to stay a mess,
No doubt of that! We think, at least, we ought to offer chance,
Good school for kids, a right to vote, and tools for basic health,
A job that pays a decent wage, slaves owned aren't proof of wealth.

Republicans, some Harvard trained, smoke existential snow,
Think they are free, there is no sin, the mind is only art,
God loves the rich; there’s just one hitch, their virtue’s just a mask,
Their s--t stinks too, their Waterloo, salvation from a cask.

The Democrats parse life with guilt, long for utopia,
In saving others save themselves, they won’t let justice be,
They think that they can honor God by pinning truth to mat,
It’s vanity when man attempts to woo Jehoshaphat.

Though ‘Right’ thinks Rich means they own God, I know God loves them still,
The ‘Left’s’ self-serving brand of justice proves they have no cure,
Both Left and Right think they must fight to prove the other wrong,
The love of others all day long is Heaven’s only song.

My Problem

Yeah, I know,
It's "My Problem"...
No sweat to you...
Even though I might beg,
For help or advise what to do...

I'm cut off from the internet...
My last human link...
With my good poet friends,
Guess I'll just mix a drink...

Kind'a sad,
I gotta' admit....
When those I've helped,
Suddenly seem fit...
To ignore my calls...
Who gives a s_it...

You'd tell me to just join Yahoo,
But I don't know how,
With no internet connection...
I'm "having a cow!!!"
I sure tried reaching you,
You didn't pick up,
Suddenly I have no phone service..
Now what do I do??
And all the meds I need...
Suddenly my card is not honored...
I can only guess New York State...
Has decided my life to terminate...
Sure makes for a great day...
But I've got more to say...

I gave you a good lump of money,
Not too far in the past...
Said use what you need...
I think it should last...
Never thought I'd have this problem...
Another warning I failed to heed...

I still believe, I still trust you,
Maybe aliens have invaded,
And you know not what to do...
But for heaven's sake...
Don't know how much more
Bad news I can take...
Seems a cesspool of misfortune...
Is swimming around in my air...
How much, my God,
Am I supposed to bear?

I was once a man...
Of substantial means...
But find them now...
The Twilight Zone, it sure seems

And with my health failing...
Falling apart in big bits...
I feel hard pressed...
To hold on to my wits...
Even my remote did desert me,
I cried as I search...
He left me one channel
He left me in a lurch...
 
And when it seems...
No one gives a sh_tz,
I start to find,
Some scary angry head fits...

My pen has worked long...
And hard, be assured...
Fought off mental demons...
Hence, I have endured...

But betrayal, or indifference,
Bites one so hard...
There's no way in the world...
You won't wind up soul-scarred...

All I can say,
Some should be...
feathered and tarred..
For those they have marred...
Hope this never happens to you...
But if that should come to pass..
Just call me, I'll be there
My love will always last...

But, now, if you get a chance,
Please tell me what to do...
You know how to survive...
You know I idolize you..."

Respect Life

Hearing distant cries,
Hope you hear my demise
The deceased fight a battle, recognize
Armageddon heven began to rise,
Evil had no disguise,
Man idolize the warning of the wise

About the valley of the beast,
Where the red moon set east
And 360 degrees of brutal murder-ies
All in horror, torture, scorcher at least
Rebuked and punished for peace
Murdered by the beast and the deceased

The living were in mad pain,
Making labour pain feels like a migraine.
Seeing Sadam Hussein,
Beating himself with a thorned cane;
Limbless Hitler crying: “Putain! Putain!”
 
‘Cause the pain is insane,
More chaos came: 
The Holocaust Campaign
Felt thunder in rain; saw lighting in flame,
Murdered the lame brain as a laughter reign 
Of man three numbers meant his name.
Who’s to blame? 
J.C. didn’t die in vain but man lost his fame
For His sins, felt the shame, 
My mind’s slain,
In picturing, I can’t contain but complain
That if I were you … I’d start prayin’

Guts, Determination Blood Sweat and Tears

Guts, Determination Blood Sweat and Tears 
Who can say they have not used that combination
That is the combination that makes famous people, heroes and idles  
What is the difference between famous people, heroes, idles and you 
The amount of followers 

Let’s look at a famous people/ heroes/ idles

They have the guts to do something different 
They have the determination to do it the best they can 
They have hurt themselves for what they believe in 
They have cried when it all went wrong 
 They have raised a sweat just to get it right 

I want you to look at your life 
Through the eyes of your family 

You have the guts to make your family get out of bed 
You have the determination to help your family be better than you 
You have lost blood for each member of your family  
You have sweated your butt off to ensure comfort for your family 
You have shed a tear more than once for you family 

Why do we like famous people, heroes and idles  
Because they do something better than we can 
They make what they do look easy 
Famous people give us ideas, dreams and hope
But most of all 
Famous people, heroes and idles are people that we admire 

You have become a master at what you do 
Day by day you give love 
Day by day you give hope 
Day by day you share dreams 
Month after month your kids keep coming back to you 

With out knowing what you have done 
You have year after year 
Created a hero for your kids to idolize 
You have given advice to your friends 
You have shown kindness
You always manage to give away a smile when it is most needed
You have had a positive effect on others as well

You are: 
My Idol
My Hero 
My famous person

**** Life

A life that holds no significance.
That's a life worth taking.
My life has become so 
meaningless.
With these mistakes I've been 
making.

A family, A life, A future.
My, how insignificant.
My time, My effort, My joy.
What can be better?
Reality, pain and some 
pleasure.
Where is my gift?
How can I possibly measure?
My life isn't ****.

Because I don't idolize my 
imagination.
Therefore, I must be lesser.
What makes your life worth 
living?
What makes you so much 
better?

I don't want to hear it.
This **** life I lead.
My life isn't perfect.
I am by no means.
You see, I'm only human.
And that makes me great.
But don't get it twisted.
My life isn't fake.
You say time is coming.
So I'll sit here and wait.
My life has no meaning.
So bring on the fate.
I'm waiting and waiting.
Waiting to see.
I can't wait much longer.
Savior, come take me.

From a Piglet To a Hog

Inspired by a family member

"The building of a so called crystal stair"


When he was a young boy
and first put his feet on the block,
He was gritty on the grind[hustle]
for much cheese[money] on the block,
When the alphabet boys came through
he was smart & start leavin' the block,
and he witnessed homicides
and seen many people grieve on the block,

Raised up in a family of dough[money] cravers
So dough chasin's how he spends his hustlin' days,
Sometime a whole week with no sleep
would depict his hustlin' ways,
Somedays it's a struggle tryin' to bubble[get rich]
but he knew that hustlin' pays,
So from age 13 to 19 
he stayed hiking through the hustlin' maze,

See he wanted his pockets to have a gang o' green,
He sips Heem[Hennessy} with his main team,
He hooks people on a product
with no remorse & receives what the game brings,

His favorite chant's, 'Get the Paper, Get the paper
with the photo of the dead guys',
He's head wise,
and all night episodes
has him huggin' the traps[hustle spots]
with goons and they all have red eyes,

Where he dwells
it's a place where they idolize & respect those,
who keep their necks froze[diamond necklaces],
and they wear fresh clothes,
with alligator toes[shoes]
and bouncin'[climb] out o' Lex doze[Lexus doors],

So this motivates him to go hard in the square[game],
Even though he gets messages from certain pastors
and from the guys wearing bowties 
and have the parts in their hair,
He's in his own space though 
So he blows out cigar smoke & his nostrils flare,
He whispers out one of his favorite quotes
''The world is mine, but it show aint fair'',
So he tries to build a crystal stair.

Premium Member Razor Strop

I have in my possession an object I really prize.
It belonged to two guys whom I really idolize.
'Twas a necessary device when straight razors were the fad.
'Tis the leather razor strop used by my Grandpa and Dad.

Its precise genesis is really difficult to gauge,
But it's certainly well over a century old in age.
It shows the scars as they went to all the trouble,
To hone their razors to rid their mugs of stubble!

I can picture them as young swains shaving before the mirror,
With a steady hand trying not to nick an ear.
With a brush and soap to apply lather to their face,
Later to meet their sweeties decked out in ribbons and lace!

Now I never thought of a razor strop in relation to education,
But Mom found a novel use for it much to my mortification.
When I became rowdy and tended not to mind,
That cold, hard strop was generously applied to my behind!

I will pass the old strop along to a subsequent generation,
With vivid tales of Mom's expertise in its application!
This only to add to family knowledge and lore,
But to use on tender behinds never, never more!

I lay my baby down to sleep
                                   Imagining the Sandman digging deep

                           Into his bag sprinkling stardust as she falls asleep
                                 And I watch her fall into a sleep so deep

                                          As she dreams of kitty tease
                                    As trees, leaves move in the breeze

                                               Teddy bears dancing
                                                And Doggie barking

                                                Chasing butterflies
                                      That tantalize flying into the skies

                                                Mommy and daddy
                                    Cuddling and embracing her lovingly



                                          I sweep the toys to the side
                                  So I can have some room by her bedside



                                            Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
                                            My baby girl is a superstar

                                                       In my eyes
                                             She’s my prize I idolize

                                                    When she cries
                                  I snuggle and sing lullabies that pacifies



                                                 The window is ajar
                                         Letting moonlight in from afar

                                                She’s sound asleep
                                      In her crib  sleeping without a peep

Prayer

Prayer I chant,
Forward I slant,
Down on my knees,
From above He sees.

My cry He hear,
Aware of my fear,
Only Him I idolize,
My faith He visualize.

His comforting word,
Brings hope into my world,
One with a caring heart,
To avoid me from hurt.

January till December,
Still me He remember.

I Don'T Wanna

I apologize for the lies, I used for my disguise.

I must learn not to sympathize, but to empathize.

‘Cause my negative actions terrorize the people who I idolize and/or prize.

Therefore, I realize the fact I have to revise, minimize and sterilize my life, because of this, music is my sunrise, but only my passion for music can end my self-destruction or demise.

Therefore I need to rationalize my choices so I don’t get categorized or characterized and criticized for my evil side in which is the side of me I despise.

Therefore I vocalize (sing) and verbalize (rap), 

To visualize my arise for being wise in my attack.

To recognize, penalize and exercise the poltergeist

or evil spirit which advertised the sin and lies of rap.

This is my attack, to rise, ‘cause rap today is

built on lies, so utilize your gifts and talents

to surprise, neutralize, baptize and revolutionize

a world of demise and introduce a world of facts.

I don’t wanna dignitize the world of media’s lies.

A true rebel today goes against the norm of the idolize of merchandise.

So be a true rebel and change today’s world of media. Listen to the message ‘cause the truth underlies.

So get this message because it mystifies.

These following I don’t wanna’s are mine and try to see my life through not yours, but my eyes. 

1. I don’t wanna be locked up, I just wanna go home.

But I keep on doing wrong, that’s why I sing this song.

2. I don’t wanna cry no more, but I’m so depressed. But I’ve witnessed blood and gore, these feelings I express.

3. I don’t wanna be alone, I just wanna have my own. I will always sing my songs, trying to right my wrongs.
