Best Inspire Poems
As I walked along the shore
With thoughts that brought an emptiness to a heart
That once beat within the soul of a young sailor
At one with the elements
Without mercy
As though seeking vengeance for an unnamed wrong
And again I felt the chill of another battle looming
In the distance
But a smile lashed out gripping a face
That knew that the taste of victory was mine
Seeing only the beauty
Of the ocean and
Feeling her strength
As my legs carried me toward
The eye of the pending storm.
Thank you Larisa for the inspiration.
Your strongest day is standing
just outside your door. Let it in.
Each day the sun comes home to you
it whispers with the wind
calling out your name.
This is no video game.
Life’s a bouquet banquet
made from your reflections.
You do not need directions.
Pick your moments carefully.
Stop and smell the roses,
leave your motor running
for the dangers trust exposes.
Listen to where life comes from
the beating sound of your own drum.
Make the most of music that it brings.
Unraveling all your tangled balls of strings.
With patience Iron out each peace,
holding tight to all you love
with nails and teeth.
Now put your stubby thumbs
through their tiny holster loops
and pull your britches up.
Hitch them high,
and puff out your chest !!
You’ve always been ready for this.
This is not a test.
This is your life.
Open up this moment
As you whisper a silent prayer
Bring laughter, light and love
To the surface, where you can
Brighten thoughts
With kindness, joy and inspiration
That thrive on the gift of
Imagination, appreciation
Faith in the heart
Open up this day
As you sing from your soul
Happiness and hope and healing
Heaven’s breath smiling through
The fears, tears and years
Bringing reassurance to those
Who know the struggles
Will, one day, be gone
And gems of hope will linger on
Playing, with harmony,
The warmth of a song
Open up this glowing gift
Of pleasure and gladness, bliss
That comes from giving back to our God
A part of the heart, the soul, the love
That lifts sorrows and brightens darkness
With gentleness and acceptance
Feelings of gratitude and thanks
That come about when we take a moment
To think of the ways we’ve been
Blessed, beyond our convictions
In spite of our faults and flaws
With a love that keeps us
Full of life – alive
Filled with tenderness and affection
Feelings that give our hearts
Their direction
Open up the heart to give
With a freedom that reminds us to live
For the One who breathed life
Into our lives, our laughter, our love
The compassion that fills us with
Patience, praise and prayer
Open up and feel full of grace
If these words, the words I’m writing now, had the power to change. If they could make me the man you’ve always wanted, the man you’ve always needed. If they could take away all your pain, all your tears, all your cares and fears. If they could somehow give you all you’ve ever needed and all you’ve ever wanted.
If these words could give you all your hopes, all your dreams and desires. If they could give you laughter in your sadness and calm you through all the madness. If they could fill your heart with hope as you walk through all your trials.
If these words could somehow allow you to see inside my heart, inside my soul. If they could somehow change the way you see me, if they could help you believe in the man I am today and the man I’ve yet to become. If only they could help you love me and trust me completely.
If these words, the words I’m writing now, had the power to keep you in my arms, always to hold and always to stay. If only they had the power to right all my wrongs and keep you by my side, to kiss and cherish every night. If they could somehow let you see yourself through my eyes
If these words had the power to break down the barriers between us, then I would write them every day from sunrise to sunset. If these words could somehow change our lives and always keep us together, then I would write them until my hands bled, until they grew old and weak.
I would write them until my eyes could no longer see them in the light. I would write them until on that day, the day you took my hands to hold for the last time. If only these words had the power to change, then I would never stop writing them, yes, I will never stop writing them, until that day, until my very last day.
Just the thought of you
inspires me to heights
of grandiosity and elegance
You coerce me to create
writings, poems of distinction
indubitably perchance
How does this entrancing
energy transpose into art,
permutations of heights
drifting through ions
of transposition, toughness
circumcises deliverance
It's a mystical phenomenon
that's existed for ages,
from the inception
of humanity's ineptness
through the age of technology
bolstered by craters
of existential drifting
through generations
parallel to the Muse.
I cannot help but smile at the very thought of you
You create an image of loveliness that so inspires
For deep within this man rages a fire burning true
The very thought of you releases new desires
You create an image of loveliness that so inspires
Your face of beauty gives my mind words to write
The very thought of you releases new desires
As poetic fires burn from the flames you so ignite
Your face of beauty gives my mind words to write
So all come together then, neatly and with flow
As poetic fires burn from the flames you so ignite
Your beauty gives my poems light, eternal glow
So all come together then, neatly and with flow
For deep within this man rages a fire burning true
Your beauty gives my poems light, eternal glow
I cannot help but smile at the very thought of you
Why shall I freeze my dreams?
Why can’t I let them flow?
While some maybe hopeless,
But some may tend to grow.
You find me as an ugly rock,
Some think I am a worthy stone,
But do you know who am I?
Just jumbled flesh and bone.
I have tasted many failures,
Still I strive towards my goal,
Tell me not success is sour,
You cannot silence my soul.
I shall keep my hope alive,
Till the night is bright as day,
The only time I shall give up,
When death comes in my way.
Some may tend to love me,
And some may tend to hate,
I keep dwelling in my dreams,
I am the master of my fate.
Inspired by the line- I am the master of my fate - by William Ernest Henley

Famous poetic lines 2 Poetry Contest
Everybody is different,
nobody is perfect...
but that's what makes
our very existence so wonderful.
It's the little imperfections
and adorable idiosyncrasies
that truly define who we are.
Our time on Earth
is precious...
life is precious;
*you* are precious!
You're beautiful,
special, amazing and unique.
And you must never think otherwise!

If I have to poetry see and define
My words would shrink and stop to ink
My thoughts would be unable to align
And in confusion I would rather sink..
Visions in words would learn how to speak
Words marvellously moulded by a wordsmith
Far reaching charm a poet would constantly seek
Unique gems adeptly crafted by a goldsmith..
It’s the power to paint and portray
Compose a tune.. an ambient so rare
An art gallery, a rich tapestry to display
Masters of words of sublime flair..
Much more.. the magic of poetry
The soul of verse can one acquire?
Abc’s and rules.. suffice to pen poesy!
Who grants the gift of Muse and the grace to inspire?
On the mystery of poetry I still ponder
Poets and their feeding Muse hearts impress
Their path of no sand or end would wander
What is predictable willing to transgress..
Fill your glossaries beyond lands and seas
Empty the wealth of your mine into sieves
Precious pearls of rare beauty you receive
Stir souls while telling stories before you leave..
Give me flowers while you still can,
In this fleeting world, a brief lifespan.
Don't wait till I am under the sand,
To say I was the man that always took a stand.
Let blossoms of love unfold,
In the tapestry of moments, stories untold.
I have cretinous heights to get to,
Yet I live my life impromptu.
Like petals whispering tales of grace,
Embraced by time, a fleeting embrace.
Letting fragrant verses of beauty unfurl,
In the garden of life, a precious swirl.
For time is a painter, a swift brushstroke,
Cherish the blooms before they revoke.
In the melody of now, a sweet refrain,
Everything earned, nothing given.
Give me flowers while you still can,
let their essence remain, it's a brief lifespan.
Celebrate me.
You've been so great
so loving and caring
always ready with your wits
I love it, I love you
But wait, don't say a word
Today I want to inspire you
When I'm down, or lost, or confused
There you are
Saving my mind from a black hole
No, don't say it
I told you, hush
Today I'm going to make your dreams come true
You have shone through my life
I will cary your essence always
I will make you last forever
Held within my heart for guidance
I will write you down on paper
I will make the world be inspired by you
I have traveled in search of
Meaning to this existence
But for tomorrow I weep and find little peace
As an emptiness still exists that cries for
Fulfillment
With arms outstretched I cry Oh Father, Father
I've seen the outer limits of Your universe
But still I feel an emptiness
Why
I have searched for answers and have been denied
I have touched the planets and still
Feel the loneliness of the masses
Why
But I continue my journey and am so far from home
As my tears mix with the blood
The answers come
Yes my son
Continue your journey and look
Yes Look
Within your soul.
You inspire me with the words I speak
You inspire me with the smile I share
You inspire me with the love I give others
You inspire me to be who I am
You inspire me to not be afraid
You inspire me to show my pride
You inspire me to encourage others
You inspire me to be independent
You inspire me with the personality I have
You inspire me to be a better person
For you inspire me with the love I share with you
Some people dream about being a star,
a gorgeous vacation, a house or a car.
Some dream of making that game-winning play.
Others may dream of a place far away.
For many it’s simply acceptance they seek,
courage, that they should no longer feel weak.
Some are consumed with making a name,
a quest for great riches, fortune, and fame.
For me, it’s quite simple, my one true desire,
is help people find their passion and fire.
What is it inside that tears at their soul?
What is their cause, their purpose, their goal?
I’ve found that if I inspire others to find,
the talent that’s buried somewhere in their mind,
then I too will somehow accomplish it seems,
the thrill of observing them capture their dreams.
So, let me ask you, because you have asked;
Do you have a dream you have taken to task?
And if it has no body laughing at all,
know that your dream is likely too small.
In the stillness of the night
when the world is asleep
and the place is at peace,
I bask giddily in quiet solitude.
Nothing’s quite like it. Feeling as light as a kite.
No noise or burden on me creep.
Only the still voice from within that I welcome with ease.
I relax with a positive attitude.
No room for thoughts that fill with fright.
No time for emotions that'll drown me deep.
Shutting those out, I take in and release
Only what's good for mankind. I'll rise and reach new altitudes.
I turn on my happy glowing light.
Its rays into my soul seep.
I smile at man's ingenuity such as this.
I'm filled with hope and immense gratitude.
Thinking of what I can add to make the world happy and bright
Something to treasure and to keep.
I’ll create a nice, uplifting piece.
I wonder at all of mankind's expressive aptitudes.
What beacons of hope can I ignite?
Make doubtful minds and sad hearts leap.
Make negativity and hate cease.
Inspire creativity and world peace.
I’ll use the stillness of the dark to inspire and not incite.
I’ll share with love and enlighten multitudes.
