Best Imagine Poems
Imagine I could fly
Spread wings and soar the sky
Up where the air is rare
Over storms and mountains high
Imagine I believed
The little voice inside of me
Had the faith of Heaven
And could shape my destiny
Imagine I could reach
Stars that twinkle in my eyes
Realize dreams I've wanted
Peacefully satisfied
Well imagine how happy
How happy it would be for us
To remove the obstacles
And place in GOD our trust
I imagine we would try
Spread our wings..... and soar the sky
We could Fly...
Can You Imagine
In Our Planet
If one fine day..
All trees are given a chance to speak-
What will they speak to us?:
'What have you EGOISTIC humans
Caused to our ENVIRONMENT?'
If one fine day..
Mother Earth is given a voice
What will She say?
Her thunderous voice will echo
From her outer atmosphere:
'Stop polluting me NOW or
Bear the CONSEQUENCES'.
If one fine day..
All the money in the world is
Equally distributed
Amongst everyone
Then there will be:
'No POOR, No RICH'
If one fine day..
Our planet follows this rule:
Total darkness henceforth.
But only those that show humanity
Be blessed to see radiance of light:
'There will be NO INHUMANITY'
If one fine day..
All employers take this decision-
The only qualification needed
To acquire a job is-
'Good Character':
'Then parents will NEVER FAIL
To instill MORAL VALUES
Into their children'
If one fine day..
The infinite universe stoops down
To say something to us from above
What would that be?:
'To every human being out there
Prancing with pride:
You are NOTHING but
A GRAIN of SAND
In an ENDLESS desert.
So, stop being ARROGANT!'
You wake up to commotion, throw on some clothes.
Outside you see some bloody bodies piled on the street.
People are screaming, running in all directions
away from oncoming military trucks and tanks.
Your heart is pounding; your mind shouts
what should I do? Where should I go?
You can't head back home because now
soldiers have headed there,
collecting folks and dividing them into groups:
Men separated from women,
the elderly from the young, boys from girls.
Trucks are filling fast with the different groups of people.
You look all around and see only confused and mortified faces.
The fact that all these others share your emotions
is your only comfort.
A woman breaks loose from a line crying out for her son.
A shot rings out; she collapses to the ground.
You can see one small group of people have escaped -
perhaps unnoticed - beyond a fence in the near distance.
Another group have all scattered, and easily seen,
they scramble toward a store.
They fall randomly when intermittent shots from the soldiers' guns fire out.
You stand motionless, knowing soon you will be tagged
by soldiers herding people into trucks.
Will you try to sneak toward the fence or will you remain as you are
to face your frighteningly unknown fate?
Are there more tanks beyond the fence of which everyone is unaware?
Won't those racing for their freedom eventually be caught?
you must make the decision while no one seems to have noticed you yet:
Freeze or flee?

Imagine all the people
who trade in human life,
imagine all the reasons
given to this particular vice.
I visualize the rivers
that run with coagulated blood,
I visualize the tyrant
that stir the waters good!
Imagine all the evil
where nightmares are conceived,
imagine all the weepers
locked in harmony.
I visualize a great peace
when man is down and out,
I visualize a yearning
to stir up warring lout!
Imagine all the carrion
fleeing this earthly scroll,
imagine all the zombies
them humans without soul.
I visualize the populous
with only one track mind,
I visualize the despotic master
not too far behind!
Imagine all the wrongdoers
that wait for the morrow,
imagine all the innocent
with aggravated sorrow.
I visualize his disciples
locked in earthly battle,
I visualize all intellect
smitten with ancient prattle!
Imagine all the dreamers
that dream in psycho colours,
imagine all the dead ones
John Lennon and others.
I visualize the sky
that reflect the sombre waters,
I visualize the time
they’ll be no virgin daughters!
Imagine all the children
born with colour blindness,
imagine all the peace
driven by human kindness.
I visualize a new order
maybe for the best?
I visualize the establishment
being put to the test!
Imagine all the people
with lives of eternal bliss,
imagine all the barriers
created when living with this.
I visualize heaven here
in this heathen place,
I visualize the angel
in pure virgin white lace!
Imagine all the new born
scanner pattern at birth,
imagine all of today’s crime
eliminated through death.
I visualize a dossier
of PLC news speak,
I visualize authoritarianism
of every aspect!
Imagine all the cloning
created for human part,
imagine all the respect
donated to this particular art.
I visualize the unscrupulous
desperate for existence,
I visualize the farm of haste
the plough of insistence!
Imagine, Mother Shipton
prophecies all came true,
imagine only one statement fails
the end of the world.
I visualize even then
common sense will prevail.
I visualize only Jesus Christ
will forecast the ultimate end!
© Harry J Horsman 1993
Imagine a world
Where silence fills the void,
Sighing so its heard,
A voice raining kindness.
Imagine a life
Where joy is alive inside
The ones who know strife
Will be erased by serenity’s smiling
Imagine a dream
Where God is at the center
Giving inspiration to redeem,
Filling the heart with generosity
And peace!
Imagine a heart
Who listens to the hope
Echoes wonders so amazing,
Embracing the sound of a prayerful
Whisper, breaking apart….
The darkness, the hurt, the doubt
So that there is not even one cloud
To dim the joy, the awesome shout
From the soul who feels this love, so real
Wiping away every tear, bringing out
The answer to every fear…
Just imagine what it means to believe
That God, in all His glory…
Came to this world to relieve every
Spirit of the burden it carries,
The endless need for forgiveness…
IMAGINE – grace that can save the soul
From the shadows of past sins,
Mending with a love that makes us whole
So we know what it is to believe
In the wonder that is reality, the goal
Is to imagine with the faith to know…
This is a faith that will forever console,
Bringing peace that is beyond description…
Imagine a world…
Where love is given unconditionally
With a heart that knows that God
In all His glory, will come back for His church,
The church built from the people…
Who believe in His love, His grace, His light…
Never letting go of the faith that brings
Peace beyond comprehension, peace that lives
At the center of the believing that reassures
Every soul that knows – Jesus is alive
He is the love who cannot die!
Imagine a world…
Who takes the time, this Easter,
To remember His sacrifice
And the glory that shines so bright
From the heart who believes
He is ALIVE,… and we can know
The love that we imagine – exists inside
Those who believe in His resurrection.
This Easter, I’m so thankful I’m forgiven
By a love that is still alive and giving
Light to the darkness, joy to the desolate
Faith to the unfaithful and peace to the hectic.
This Easter, I know that I’m so very blessed!

Imagine if all the krill
Beneath the ice shelves were dead.
Millions plus millions of krill
Fodder for ocean’s creatures:
Penguins, walrus, whales.
In the end all will die and the ocean
Will be a poorer place for all.
Imagine if all the trees
Would lose all their leaves for ever.
No Autumn splendour,
No fruit, no place where to hide.
Would we not be living
In pure disaster?
Imagine if there would not be any wind.
No music to inspire,
No words to adorn the arias,
No emotion on men’s faces.
We thrive on emotion.
And what is emotion if not poetry?
We simply cannot live without it.

Can You Imagine - Any form Poetry Contest

The long day welcomes an evening's pause
of red-feathered skies
as the last dim light of Autumn has arrived
tonight I will lie on a hillside
and imagine you
though we are miles apart we'll dance in the moonlight
beneath stars that wander above, like fine-dressed guests
and you...before me in a blue and white cotton dress
that catches the chilled air as you spin...smiling
I'll bow before you and raise my head to find your eyes
then lift you high, a silhouette against the moon
Yes, I will imagine you
in streams of flowing pictures that flood my mind
before pouring over me
a waterfall trying to wash away the years
of purple asters and roses whose beauty filled the senses
in cluttered thoughts of distant days
that come like a flock of birds diving in unison
dispersing as they fall as brown fallen leaves
that lie scattered and crumbled, tumbling away
with the curled petals of asters and roses
that cover an empty garden
where ghostly footprints vanish into a gray horizon
of flowing black clouds
where the sun never rises, and the round sky cries
leaving nothing
I will imagine what beauty was, before the storm
and I was left to walk on barren ground
that lies before the jeweled steps
leading to the throne of love
where my heart and soul once sat
next to you
If there was no crime
No hurry for time
No genocide
No homicide
If there was no mothers burying their sons
If mankind didn't invent guns
If schools still had prayer
If everybody recognize Jesus Christ as our savior
If there was love and respect
No hate between white and black
No homeless
No loneliness
No wars
No rich or poor
No accidents or disasters
If man only served one master (God)
Imagining is good for all it's worth
Heaven is definitely not planet earth
Imagine(Nation)
(Inspired by and Dedicated to the Memory Of John Lennon)
Imagine nations of togetherness,
Brothers and sisters becoming one,
Imagine nations on forever's quest,
One heartbeat staring at one sun,
Imagine nations with outstretched hands,
Offering each to a stranger's needs,
Imagine nations who understand,
Every person hurts, everybody bleeds,
Imagine nations ending war,
Sans malice, and abundant smiles,
Imagine nations unlike before,
Teaching love to every child,
Imagine nations achieving grace,
Serene lives and elated minds,
Imagine nations on an infant's face,
Full of innocence easy to find,
Imagine nations devoted to peace,
Wishing no harm on any man,
Imagine nations as we know to cease,
Reborn and taught a perfect plan,
Imagine nations of future times,
With love becoming the tie that binds,
Imagine nations by this elation,
Imagine nations with this Imagination,
It is all the words lost, the swirling, the
missing dates and this slow evil poison filling me
and the darkness is creeping, creeping closer each day.
Give me your hands. Do I know you?
It is the pain, the pain that endures . . .
Now, flashes of beauty brightly spin and fade, oh
endless emptiness and lost words on my tongue.
And the wasting away of my soul, no more poetry . . .
For my safety I retreat- I leave this world for silence
to the past, the past, the past, where
everything is pretty and happy. Oh, the
reaching- the endless reaching for words and names.
Failure, failure, don't disturb my dreamy dream, where
only I dwell, happy! Now, give me my dolly !
Remember, oh remember our bleeding love lost, darlings
evermore in a magic land I dwell, where I am a beauty,
venturing and meandering, just a shadow of me . . .
Ever and beyond, my darlings, adieu, adieu ! Please,
remember me after forever when this heart beats no more.

I can imagine a great many things
polka dot pandas with gigantic wings
a world without war, a day without death
even the moment I take my last breath
Fabulous planets of purple and pink
a moment of peace where I don't have to think
soaring through skies in fast flying cars
that take you way up to the most distant stars
Being a king in a castle so grand
high on a hill overlooking the land
stretching as far as the eye can see
yes, that is the sort of life for me
Vanquishing dragons, defying the odds
placing myself above the gods
limitless power and riches galore
and I can imagine so much more
Being a handsome prince on my horse
rescuing maidens from danger, of course
never to die or even grow old
at least, that's the ending I've always been told
Crystalline rivers with water so sweet
never an evil person to meet
orange and violet trees so high
the tops disappear into the sky
Yes I can envision so very much
magical singing flowers and such
just about anything my mind can see
but I cannot imagine you loving me
I imagine you softly
Like a sound on the air
The touch of your hand
The smell of your hair...
I imagine your voice
Gentle with the night
I hear in it the courage
The laughter and the light...
I imagine your eyes
all the love they hold
I see in them redemption
the pain you never told...
I imagine your body
The heat from your skin
I imagine your embrace
I imagine it again...
I imagine you
The way you imagine me,
I imagined you today
Imagining me...
The azure ocean, home to the embedded enormous incomprehensible riches of mysteries and riddles,
More than the Mars, lies unfathomed, underneath the conundrum of oceanic colossal rhythms.
From the The Milky Sea Phenomenon, a sight captured as bioluminescence illusion,
The Purple Orb of the ocean floor of California and the Baltic Sea’s anomalous puzzles,
Like the alien spaceship put foot on the colossal quagmires of oceanic chasm!
When the underwater volcanoes erupt to perplex beyond imagination in huddle,
To probe and discern those gems of oyster shell’s luminous pearls dazzles,
Deep beneath sleeping peacefully in the ocean’s cradle!
The fatal enigma of the unplumbed immensely profound oceanic mysteries will never dwindle.
The more one plunges to pierce in deep muse its vastness engulfs to diddle!
The superficial waves in corrugation, are mere widening its hitherto horizontal hurdles.
The bizarre sounds emanating from beneath are like giant icebergs scraping the oceanic floor in madly rhythm!
The obscure oceanic realms, its myriads mystical appearances remains timeless, fancy of millions!
Eras and eras pass, the mythical mermaid’s riddle are yet to resolve,
As centuries pass, may replete with the witness of numerous human civilizations!
Like the Atlantis of Japan, from time immemorial, the oceans are abodes of colossal confusions.
The voyages disappear in the Mystic Triangle, who knows what lies beneath the mythical abstractions?
The twirling sounds of infinite ocean swirling in the sea shells are quite captivating, attract admirers attractions;
The archipelago one after the other vanished without the trace, as in Marina Trench’s aberrations;
As if the Phantom Islet of Bermeja, in its murky abyssal cradle’s magnetic composition.
The Crop Circles discovered beneath its bosom as if the signage of other world’s manifestations;
The oceanic phenomenon of green flashes meets the red tides, reveals your magnificent disposition.
Wants to plunge, swim like a mermaid in your mystical cerulean temporal lilting motion;
Oh, the oceanic conundrum more we try to fathom, the more we entangle in your cryptic chasm!

If we could.....
Taste the beauty of butterfly wings
and buttercups blooming..
Smell a hot orange sun setting
and fluffy white clouds floating..
See what raindrops see falling
and the perfume inside a rose..
Hear the calmness of a clear blue sky
and the power of a snow peaked mountain..
Touch the velvety blackness of midnight
and a mighty lightning bolt..
Imagine..what a different world this would be.......

Can you imagine how it would be?
I remember when I was young.
To dream and wonder what I'd become.
The girls that I liked.
Holiday happiness with joy and delight.
My future in front of me is all I could see.
Can you imagine how it would be?
All the things, I could not wait for.
To be 16, there was nothing I wanted more.
To learn to drive and be my own man.
The time passed so slowly, I could not understand.
It seemed to me that fate was being too mean.
Can you imagine how it would be?
All the things I could do when I turned 21.
I wished for that everyday, I wanted to be on my own.
Having fun and going to the bar.
Being on my own and it seemed so far.
On to college to earn my degree.
Can you imagine how it would be?
Finding a girl so sweet and in Love.
My emotion is high and I'm in search of.
What to do now, I just don't know.
I love her so much, I want to be her hero.
Then comes marriage and our baby you see.
Can you imagine how it would be?
Watching my children grow as they do.
Life has changed and more bills come due.
I've grown up and now have more responsibility.
Life isn't bad at all, just a different party.
Kids move on and far away from me.
Can you imagine how it would be?
I've taught kid all that I can.
Now I can watch my kid become a man.
The days grow longer and the nights are hard.
I can spend my days working in my yard.
Life seems so short and not lonely.
Can you imagine how it would be?
I found happiness in all of my life.
Not just my kid or my loving wife.
With all my work throughout the years.
Through all the good times and the tears.
The most important thing was my family.
Can you imagine how it would be?
I open my eyes to see the bright sky.
My dream has ended and I know just why.
Today is my birthday and I am ten.
It's all a dream thinking back then.
My future is in front of me and that's what I see.
Can you imagine how it would be?
