Best Lif Poems
* This for is called Acrostic, but this particular one forms a phrase on BOTH ends - I hope you enjoy it! *
~
Yesterdays, never tell me where they run to
Only the callow days that breathed with you
Utter those resplendent whispers to my ear
Why did you let her go?' It hushes me, still
Each silver moment since has been an echo
Reverberating midst passion's sweet improv
Every memory is filled with an aching divine
My faculties still recall your beguiling aroma
Your flavor, even now, speaks to my senses
Soft, the moonlit eves, we swam in a dream
Open, the hearts we shared with a rare love
Unconcerned with the courses of its delirium
Lost to the realms those passions took us to
Many years have passed, but I can still hear
All our promises like petals - a life potpourri
They're faded now between the pages of life
Each one, a wilted bloom of love's memories.

Moment lingers
Your curly brown hair
Showering strong shoulders
Every breath filling bosom
Lusciousness, sinuously moves
Flowing across the room, wild river
Frozen deer I become, looking but not,
Round, wide eyes misdirecting intention
Obvious I’m caught. Could you be too?
Meeting for the first time, crowds part

~Play With Fire Till your Fingers Burn~
5/20/2025
Experience life to its full brink,so sad, to witness any human, being had!
Just try to be a mirror of them, it will drive you uncontrollaby mad!
The world is the jelly bowl, of jellybeans who just all shine and conform.
And yes, they will step on you, if you are not of their norm.
They’ll run from your space, they won’t talk to you!
As if you were an insane specimen from an abnormal zoo!
To be like all the others, is like a living death, all of your days!
Because what you’ve done, is live in fear, and given your precious soul away..
Just write poetry and make love with lif, and play with fire,vool, .and
Let your fingers type with joy,and fully burn.
They shall never experience life on their timid, lifeless, terms.
You might even find yourself, rarely read.
That is a great sign, go bake a loaf of fresh f.aromatic, cinnamon bread!
I don’t want to find anyone being a jelly bean poet!
If you are a real poet, the first thing to do is to write a lot of the
of the invincible you, with immense courage, please do show it!
Thank you! Outstanding Poets!
Another harsh Winter we must face
It Matters not, no one can escape Fate
Not Even The Gods
With Bravery we shall Stand Strong
In Care we shall advance onto Vigrid
Fenrir Will Lay dead
By Dawn's Perch
Trim Your Nails, to Prevent Naglfar
It's time to suit up; We Are The Einherjar
Protector's of Ragnorak
The Army of The Gods
The Lovers of Valhalla
All of Midgard will sing
Of our triumph and their Defeat
Sadly all will come, In a twinkling
To An Utter End
Madi, Magni, Sons of Thor
Balder, Hod, Residence of Hel
Lif, Lifthasir, of Yggdrasil
Do us well
Remembrance of our noble deeds
Is all well enough
Sing the Song
We Are The Einherjar
Dear,
When I think about how you made me feel my heart starts racing, palms start to sweat, and my body gets these internal warm chills.
They keep on creeping up my spine and tell my head how much I want you. I'd do anything for you. I will my life to you.
Infact you started to make my lif happy, warm, filled with love. You started some comforting and left me content. You gave me the warmth of your safety blanket, and what i thought was true happiness.
Now im just a puppet on your your strings. Your strings that sells me to other men to have you. Turning everyone around me facing me, Turning everyone facing me to turn around and walk away from me. Making ME the bad guy of your show. It seems I coaused all the pain because I'm attached to you. Because I'm so dependant on you without you I'd fall down and fall never to walk again. I'm scared to be without you. I'd die loving you with all my hatred that only turns back to that warmth. Waiting for oblivion to take us away, freeing me from from your strings and back into your arms. The reality we once lived I wish to see again never to come because you dont crave me anymore like I crave you and you dont need me as I need you. You can let me go. Drop my strings. Let me fall. Waiting for your rush of love back over me that deep down I know will never come but i pray, and pray and pray that it will! I wont make it away from you. I cant run, nor do I want to run you are with me everywhere in my mind, my heart all in my body, you left a mark on me like a scar that will never fade. A reminder of what my past consisted of and the consistency is you. You play over and over in my mind. The damage, the love, the life you took from me when I was so young and innocent. Now, I turned into my biggest fear which is you I will retie the knots until I die. You killed me with no remorse and all I am left with is the scent I used to love. The cold you once mad warm. The love that was molested into your evol. Evol love.

I dusted a single crimson lock
from my mouth
as I whirled my body
Away, away--
from the crusted white paint
and
single
paned windows.
My favorite shoes met blackened tar
in light, airy steps--
Left, then right.
Shifting my WEIGHT
wind in my eyes,
my hands grasped
two shiny plastic handles
below--
Left, then right.
Balancing myself with determination,
I s l o w l y turned my body,
aligning it with your gaze.
I remember,
your eyes were perfectly
CENTERED
in the door frame.
I looked into each individually--
Left, then right.
Each pupil was dilated with images:
colorful crayons,
straightened teeth,
paid tuition.
The wind suddenly escaped
my eyes and r u s h ed
to your throat.
You exhaled it from each
of your lungs--
Left, then right.
The wind carried y o u r w o r d s,
vibrating toward
my ears
in a weakened croak.
“Take Care."
As the wind made its
wayBACK
to my eyes,
the creases on our mouths
loomed upward...
I silently curved my body
BACK--
The wind waiting
behind me, ready to carry.
My hands GrippeD
on two shiny plastic handles,
It lif t e d me away--
Away from the crusted white paint,
and away
from the single paned windows.
The
strong
and
the
hopeless
are
screaming.
Getting
strewn
out
by
harassment
by
the
season.
I
hate
cops
and
the
new
president
because
of
solid
reason.
Legalized
prostitution's
got
prostitutes
raped
by
the
cops.
Gays
molest
these
little
dudes
in
taverns
every
night,
they
never
stop.
Imagine
getting
hit
by
'muti'
lightning
as
you
try
reaching
the
top.
A
sandal-
weary
life
we
live
in
pride
because
we
like
the
complement
of
flops.
You
want
to
Jub-
Jub
your
Mini-
Coopers
in
our
kasies,
killing
our
kids.
Or
Metro
police
our
teenagers
in
African
influence
to
sell
sex
vids.
We're
not
even
passive
to
the
trauma
that
your
life
can
bring.
Let's
strangle
out
a
note
from
the
fat
lady
and
make
the
thin
woman
sing.
You
need
to
try
trampling
me
down
because
you
know
that
God
has
made
me
king.
If
you
mess
with
me,
I'll
appoint
a
thousand
gays
who'll
clap
you
till
you're
dead.
I
don't
need
to
be
a
Raggamuffin
Rastafarian
to
know
that
these
words
are
giving
you
dread.

Wait for tomorrow’s new day
LIFe. as i see it is distorted and bland.
i wish to be on the beach easin my mind in the sand.
the sound of the wave's take away my pain.
who but me is to blame.
i feel happy then sad i wanna ride the never ending train.
my eye's n heart seem to rain.
LOSING her has left a never ending pain on my brain.
on my there's a permenant stain.
LIFe as i see it is peaceful sometime's then i get hurlled into my own mind.
my thought's i can't find. some day's i feel as if i'm BLIND.
I'M mean today tommorrow i could be kind.
DONT KNO WHICH 1 IT'LL BE MAYB U'LL FIND.
LIFe as i see it is hard to explain.
i wanna lay n earase my mind n the rain.
m i OKAY? or m i INSANE?
LIFe as i see it is like no1 else can.
My GRAMMY was my biggest fan.
LIFe as i see it is distorted most the time.
will i be not right today or will i be fine.
I wish the sun could BRIGHTEN my day n make my heart SHINE.
LIFe as i see it change's everyday.
bring her back to me god i pray.
I wanna feel the SUN's ray.
what else can i say.
i just LIVE lif DAy 2 DAy.
LIFe as i see it i wish other's could.
there's things i cant do that i know i should.
TAKE AWAY MY PAIN I WISH SOME1 ELSE COULD.
We shine bright like the sun that breaks the horizon each morning,
our hearts beat as one with the vibrational energy of the earth, our voice
sympothises with every hurt.
Through every trial hold our heads up, each day we strive for the better, all
our lif e we emphasise, we change cause we realize that day to day nothing stays the same.
Tears of joy, tears of pain fall from our face, emotionally out of place. The love from our hearts deeply hydrate a dry soul, our touches never feel the same, each one has
it's own replenishings.
Do things we said we'd never do, sacrafice our life just to please you. Each passing day
is a new awakening, the joy's of life, we'll soon find, our hearts may bend but never break, stand up straight, wipe the tears from your face, you are beautiful, trust and believe and you'll make it through.
It starts when we are young
crwling
standing
walking
talking
carrying on to school
homework
classwork
graduation
college
moving fast and furious in your lif
apartment
job
marriage
house
family
just vwhen you bthink its about to end
it slaps you in the face once again
if you haven't figured it out
let me go right ahead and give it a shout
"WORK"
Like a cave witch colapsed
or a slave in the trash
breakin his back
to get through...
It's proved; over and over again
that boarders bring morders...
witch hoarders sort through again...
Who am i?
just a studpid guy
with useless time
i'm spiritually bruised inside...
and trapped.....
Like someone who lost there lif savings in craps...
or a wemon with no ovaries due to crabs..
relax...
we all trapped!
When is Life best?
hours fly in rush
each day of Life,
nice time when then?

4 line poem, each line with 4 syllables, Acrostic.
Sponsored by: Jenish Somadas
lif can be hard
life cane be rough
but you gota be tough
gota hold your head high
no matter how shy
cause waht ever goes on
you gota stay strong
sometimes you want to screem
sometime you want to cry
but you got to belive
and you will fly
love can brake your heart
love can bring you down
but we keep serching
hopping to be found
we allhave are faults
we all have our ups and downs
but we got to stand up and put on
a smile not a frown
stay strong!!
