Best Leave Your Mark Poems
When God created you, the heavens rang
A symphony of praise and jubilee
Celestial ones with rapture danced and sang
And rainbow hues burst forth with joyous glee
We gathered round your crib, by wonder filled
Your tiny form I cradled to my chest
The joy that thrilled our hearts could not be stilled
As parents well we knew how we’d been blessed
You are the beauty of a starlit night
You are the gentle warmth of setting sun
You are the wonder of Aurora’s light
And none with you compares, not even one
My darling child, a woman now you are
You know the course you want your life to take
You have the will and strength to travel far
Protect your heart, my child, for mother’s sake
Be stronger than I am, be more secure
Speak out and use your voice to leave your mark
In fight for equal rights, you must endure
Let inner light burn bright; don’t lose that spark
A bed of roses life will never be
Yet be a fragrant rose of rarest hue
Your beauty let the worthy hearted see
Don’t be afraid to bloom in colors true
My precious girl, you are a mother’s dream
And when my heart is heavy, filled with care
To tired thoughts, you bring a golden gleam
I see your smile and life turns rosy, fair
You are my greatest joy, my lovely pearl
Your home is in my heart, and there you’ll stay
No matter where you go, you're still my girl
Be sure my love will help you find your way

Will you today,shake a tree
or will you from daily living flee
Will you upon another leave your mark
or will you ,just lay up and park
Will you each day,stretch your mind
or be content and left behind
Will you now,God's gifts display
or will you,in neutral stay.
Earth quakes, hands shake
Bone breaks, piss takes
Story's end, new ones start
We click unfreind, we fall apart,
Blood boils, tempers flare,
Light to dark, we cease to care,
They look at me, they see through you, same old **** it's nothing new,
Be unique and be insane,
Be yourself and play the game,
Tear a rip in time and space,
Leave your mark to suit the case,
Dry your tears and open your mind, search for something hard to find,
Anger, hate, love, joy,
Smiles reveal the real McCoy,
Cogs turn and life go,s on,
Open eyes that learn from wrong,
Brakes fail, crash and burn,
we stand in line and wait our turn,
Words of wisdom, pierce your soul,
Call me butter, I'm on a roll,
Pages turn, we get in rutts,
A journey full of paper cuts,
Story's in tales, short and tall,
Try telling me, I've lived it all
Slugs wishing they where snails,
No suprise, this is wales
Face your demons, steal the show,
Break the mould, finger the crow,
Run like a bath or butter my bread, if you want a chat........il be in the shed!
Did they rip your heart?
Did they bleed it dry as stone?
Thud, thud, thud
It beats against the bone.
Even your tears were hallow,
Set against the ducts they never fell,
But your tongue lashed like a whip
You expressed yourself well.
Those years of grief you spewed in anger
Until we were sick of it too,
Concrete man
Solidified in heartache
What will move?
Move you?
The cracks are showing now,
What will be left of you but rubble?
A mountain I will never fathom,
Who did this to you?
Who
Leaked away the brightness
So not even the dreams shone through?
I had to get away,
Every thing you touched
Was hurt, and hell?
I ran before I was too set in your ways,
One monument to sorrow is surly enough.
I wanted to break the mold
No more tough
Love, tough,
But even from this distance you throw your stones,
Determined to leave your mark, you wanabe medusa
I will not look that way,
I would rather bleed to death
Than harden and grow cold.
Only time will tell the outcome of this rhyme,
Whether it will succeed in the nick of time.
So better safe than sorry, as they say,
A good beginning makes a good ending, I pray.
I’ll write a little bit of this and a little bit of that,
All fingers and thumbs as I lay down my hat,
Better safe than sorry - the acid test,
I’m as busy as a bee and I’ll give it my best.
If the poems voted up I’ll be as pleased as punch,
Or back to basics because there’s no free lunch.
Between you, me and the bedpost I’m hoping for the best,
That it proves head and shoulders above the rest.
With luck it reaches the four corners of the Earth,
For I’ll give my right arm for some literacy worth.
I dream that the votes might go through the roof,
That I’m not hung out to dry as a poetic spoof.
I’m not asking the Earth and it could just be pot luck,
Whether this is a raving success or as dead as a duck.
Will this win an award? Yeah, in your dreams!
This could be the end of the line, it seems.
Writing this poem’s not all sweetness and light!
It’s a long shot trying to get this right.
Just have to keep my pants on, cross my fingers and all,
That it takes the world by storm and I’m not in free fall.
I can only hope I knock it out of the park,
That it’s not just a stab in the dark.
Last be not least let me bend your ear,
For this opportunity doesn’t knock twice I fear.
I’ll leave you with something to chew on my friend,
It isn’t rocket science, we all get there in the end.
It might be a white knuckle ride at times,
But you can leave your mark with a poetic rhyme.
I knew I should have just walked away;
The moment I laid eyes on you I should have...
I don’t know...blocked you out
I should have seen the blaring danger sign above your head,
Should have heard my heart’s agonised screams of longing –
And I should have realised you would be the death of me
But then I guess I’m a bit funny that way;
I always seem to walk straight toward death,
I seem to throw my arms around my own destruction –
And draw it deeper and deeper inside me,
The way I did to you...
Perhaps it’s just masochism, or perhaps I find death enchanting
Well, when death looks like you, who wouldn’t?
You are so beautiful it beggars belief;
It almost hurts my eyes to look at you –
Your radiance dazzles, and causes me to trip and fall
To fall so hard my heart cracks - and bruises like an overripe peach;
And meanwhile you never even stumble
You just breeze effortlessly into my life, into my body,
Into the aching chasm of my heart,
And there you leave your mark, carving it into the living flesh...
Proclaiming me your latest conquest, your latest homicide
Christ you’ve hurt me; Christ you’ve got me good
Clasped so tight in your Judas grip you fill me to the brim with love
And then with brusque indifference you slam the door in my face
And melt into the desert sands with not even a backward glance...
And as for me – like a dumb fool I sit and watch you go
Speechless with suffering, wracked with raping pain
I know there is nothing I can do to stop you
Know it’s my fault you’re gone – if only...
If only I were prettier, funnier, purer...
If only I had never let you in
If only I had listened to my intuition and wistfully walked away....
I could have saved myself from death on that very first black day
Where is the line
To follow the corners edge
To be what you are
To fly spirted free
To be me
Jump inside and hide within my mind
See what I see feel what I feel
Watch from my eyes
Turn to myside the darkest to the light
To live with desire that runs through your veins
The world has so many roads
The past is only one part of whats before you
Take the completness of life in your palms
Scream to the gods where do you leave your mark
Find yourself love like no other lover
Touch your lovers soul and mind
Crave the beauty of wildest of lifes dream
Let fire grow inside your imagination
With every moment of pain you rise to the fall
Stand tall adore the fate that you now take
Be the tune that sings in your being
Believe all is possible never say never
Dance with the air surrounding
Find that line and go past it....
What do I want, you asked one night,
And now I shall answer you.
I want to see your eyes shine so bright,
As together, as one, we move.
You turned to me, beneath the dark,
You asked what I desire.
I desire you to leave your mark,
And relight the smouldering fire.
What do I need, you questioned me,
And now I think I know.
I need your body to cherish me,
And together, wherever, forever, we will go.
What am I looking for, your soft voice spoke,
And I for once was stuck.
I am looking for you to be eternally stroked,
And embraced with healing love.
What do I want from you, you asked,
And I knew how to answer.
I want this love never to be masked,
And to stay with us like a cancer.
I want your body, twisted round mine,
I want your lips to taste,
I want your hands, finding mine in time,
I want your arms around my waist.
I long for you in the evening light,
I want to feel your touch.
I wish to make love to you at night,
Is that asking for too much?
I desire to see your face at dawn,
I need to hear you moan.
I need you to wake beside me at morn,
And for you to be my own.
In a world filled with despair and strife,
Hold on to your dreams for dear life.
And with great fortitude make it loud and clear,
That you'll make your mark without any fear.
Guard your heart, be bold and brave,
You have the power within you to pave,
A path that's true and unique all round,
So make haste and always stand your ground.
There will be many hurdles in your way,
But you'll find your purpose one day.
Don't be afraid to take a chance or two,
Keep going and make your mark in whatever you do.
And with every step you take be sure to , leave a trace,
Of your resilience as you carve out your own space,
The world awaits your awesomeness and grace,
So get going with humility and purpose as you run this race.
Be quite deliberate in every word you choose to speak,
Be aware of every action that you seek,
Let your passion and light burn so bright,
That the world will stop and take notice day and night.
For in every fibre of your being greatness lies,
Unleash that fire within you as the world watches you rise.
And in all your endeavors both great and small,
Make them count and always give it your all.
And no matter where the path you've chosen may lead,
Never doubt yourself but find the strength that you need,
And leave a legacy filled with optimism and a bright spark,
As you press on and no doubt, leave your mark.
So rise above your doubts and fears
Embrace your journey and shed no tears,
But with courage as your guiding light,
Go forward with confidence and make your mark, with all your might.
I hope that you dance
When given the chance
I pray that you feel
What's intense, raw and real
Be engulfed in flames
That will withstand the rains
Be on fire for God
Don't fear being odd
When you eat, I want you to taste it
When you dream, I want you to chase it
Don't allow yourself to be drawn
By the pull of what's fond
With your roots planted firm
Don't wiggle or squirm
Don't quit reaching high
Until you conquer the sky
Don't be a girl that's easy
Please trust and believe me
Imagination is far better
Be a real go getter
Use your five senses
When building your fences
Hunger for more
Of what's in store
Don't just talk about it
Decide you can't live without it
Do whatever it takes
To make the world shake
Leave your mark
On a piece of bark
Sing along
To your favorite song
Take a stand
Lend a helping hand
Give benefit of doubt
Despite what about
Guard your heart
Be a work of art
Keep them guessing
Reap your blessings
Take deep breaths of autumn air
Wherever your at, be somewhere
Adorn your slice
Present yourself nice
Be blunt and bold
Watch your dreams unfold
Stay young at heart
Finish from start
Filthy up your halo
Embracing the snow
Don't label yourself
By circumstances or wealth
Think of tomorrow
Every time you borrow
But don't live in fear
Of that, you can't hear
Enjoy the moment
Or you'll never own it
For, tomorrow will become today
Not a moment can stay
Jalapeños popped
with that french kiss;
You may just have the heat
to handle me;
Careful, dynamite explodes with a
single spark.
Savor spicy slowly…
Blood and lust;
Your villainous eyes so vermilion,
possessing the vile light of the macabre.
Ignite me leave your mark,
devour my divergence;
Together we’re fireworks..
Viral infection,
swallow spectacular slowly…
Blood and lust;
So succulent the film of me
erupting all over your taste buds;
estrogen and endorphins,
testosterone and dopamine;
Carolina reaper’s bass line,
we just raised the bar;
set to scald each others mouth..
A spectacular flow,
blood and lust.
LO LO-LI TA
GLAD TO ME-ET YA
YOU TINY YOUTHFULL THING
MY FA JITA
SPICY AND SWEET
WITH A TOUCH OF SMART
YOU LEAVE YOUR MARK
ON YOUR CANVAS
AND OUR HEART
LO LO
LO LO
YOU ARE MY
HOT TAMALE
COMBO
COMBO.
R
R
NOT LO LO
NO NO
OH LOLLO
YOU SO SO
Reaching towards the sun
Waving the light through my fingers
Knowing what has just begun
The kiss we shared still lingers
I am a teenager again
Light and airy heart
Dancing together then
Our journey at it’s start
Now my hand out the window
With the breeze blowing through
That’s when I really know
All my joy is because of you
I am finally able to be free
To rid myself of the day
Of all that makes me worry
With you, they go away
I laugh again, a rare sound
With you they are infinite
Whenever you are around
My smile is a perfect fit
I hope you see and know
That I think of you day and night
That no matter where I go
You are my perfect sight
I am in awe of your presence
Like light, you brighten the dark
And I’ve been shinning ever since
You decided to leave your mark
Listen, Oh Listen, so softly it said
Open your heart now, Magical days lie ahead
Gentle follow my whispers, so light and temperate like the fire fly
Flickering and sparking in the night sky
Feel, Oh Feel my affectionate and tender care
And follow my whispers if you dare
My love ever so graceful by your side
Comforting you in days of despair and divide
See, Oh See, my guiding light
Giving you strength to take flight
And follow my whispers that fill your ears
And I will never let you go, no matter how dark the years
Love, Oh Love, all that is dear to you
And this love ten times will return to you
And follow my whispers even if it leads you in the dark
And trust my guidance and you will no doubt leave your mark.
Do you hunt the moon with a paw's swipe
As your green eyes embrace the night
Black as the darkness you enthrall
Breaking silence by screeching bawl
Never pet spirit free
Roam the night's city
Seek the shadows of the dark
Fangs embedded razor sharp
Tear the flesh raw
One last whimper falls
Fly from roof to roof to roof
Dance love's tango leave aloof
Fight for space leave your mark
Flee from packs of savage bark
Ascending into the night's air
Landing on soft feet without fear
Hunched up back a snarling hiss
Claws like daggers that don't miss
Hounds think better and return home
Dawn waves back velvet tones
With a yawn and long stretch
Feet to home the cat gets
Safe in warmth of fluffy pillow
Lazy cat so cozy and mellow
Purrs away the coming day
At night is when black cats play
