Best Lifepeace Poems


I Surrender All

May the Lord’s shining light,
Guide you through the darkest of nights,
When you are in that valley so low,
And don’t know which way to go.

May you know the peace that He has planned only for you,
In your days filled with turmoil, He is there to guide you through.
With peace in your heart and love in your eye,
Placed there by the Master when only we try.

Surrender is not bad when we surrender to Him,
But a new way of life, to Him you are the most precious of gems.
His love is the greatest gift that you can ever receive,
All it takes is a simple thing called faith and the will to believe.

So when you feel lost and alone, troubled and weak,
Defeat has left you feeling humble, saddened, and bleak,
Just call out His name and lay your burdens at His feet,
Then you’ll know why the taste of surrender is so precious and sweet.

Cathedrals To Dream

As in sheets, sheared time is laid 
 forever dream-weaving in sweet sage
  lasting breaths to aching pleas
   sleeves of soul sway in the breeze
   Falling leaves are grazing check
  caressing gentle as softly sleeps
 Lillie’s teasing arising to greet 
milking petals beneath my feet


Kisses brush my mouth to seep
 eternal passion from nights weep
  supplicating to familiar eyes
   saying adieu before the sigh
   Magical life is drifting behind
  unknown ages splendor-ed in kind
 closing windows,and dropping the drapes
eternity comes as my loom is shaped


Fantasy remade into the real
 unicorns prancing in the fields
  faeries are skipping and jumping rope
   every turn a boon,a fulfillment of hope
   Wishes aplenty are winking from trees
  A man on the moon is in love with the sea
 And resting at peace in yonder light
a future is dreaming,what we’ll never sight


In Cathedrals these magical beings advise
  and peace is no dream,its breathing new life

Premium Member Peace Signs On Denim Pockets

She held on to her blue jeans
From our younger, college days
With peace signs painted on each back pocket
And that worn-almost-every-day fade

But thirty years and four grown kids
Changed her girlish shape
Still those jeans hung in our closet
In a most prominent place

She dreamt of one day wearing them again
Pouring herself inside them like before
I tried to always reassure her
It’s the woman inside that I adore

Now illness has a way
Of removing unwanted pounds
Though not the way she planned it out
She could fit them on again she found

The quilt we made in her memory 
Has many patches from times in her life
The peace signs on denim pockets
Are the patches that I most like

We Want Peace

It is our duty to struggle for the return of our land
 It is our duty to cooperate and be one hand.
 It is our duty to spread peace in our nation.
 And stop the violence and avoid the separation.
 It is our duty to fight our enemy.
 And beat the arrogance and the hegemony. 
 We should prove that we are not a scapegoat.
 And that we have a great cultural thought.
 It is our duty to prove our existence.
 Even if it is by defense and resistance.
 It is our duty to return the civilians` rights.
 Even if it requires entering in wars or fights. 
 We seek peace and security.
 But defending our land is a priority.

The Karma Yogi

A hush of silence settles down,
Broken by the soft gurgling waters,
Mellowed by the yogi's muted chants,
Without a soul to hinder his prayer;

Intellect perceptions intact,
Awake to supreme joys of knowledge,
Remains calm in tranquility,
Unhindered by all the worldly lusts;

Attains eternal peace within, 
Karma of knowledge and devotion.
 
Gita: Eternal Peace Chapter 2 verse 70

Peaceful Bombs

Bombing for peace is like raping for virginity,
Repeated phrase gives peace unity.
Remind me God, where is the utility?
The love we give has no virginity.
Concatenate munition for factuality,
Its just complete, its all vitality.


Dear God, Keep Them Safe

Please watch over our Soldiers in foreign lands.
Keep safe our loved ones and all our friends.
Watch over our children, whose mommy's and daddy's went to war.
Please help them to understand what mommy and daddy are fighting for.
Bless all the families and friends of our Fallen Soldiers.
Help them find a sense of peace and some closure.
Bless the life of all the mothers and fathers.
Who have lost their sons and/or daughters.
Help guide the children so they will know,
That their mommy or daddy died as a true American Hero. 
Hold tight in your hands, the heart of the Soldiers Wife.
Give her peace and understanding all throughout her life.
As for the Soldiers still over there fighting in the war,
Please GOD, keep them safe, we don't want to loose any more.

Alittle Magic

Alittle Magic
I found this little magic rock.
Everyone that touched it sure did talk.
The truth is what they all told.
Some were hurtful and some spoke bold.
Others talked of their true loves.
All been taken by heaven above.
No more lies were ever told.
For some their lives turned quite cold.
They never said one nice word.
And then one day this bird flew by.
Most beautiful bird in the sky.
He dropped something from far above.
I picked it up, it was a glove.
And so I slide it on my hand.
And waved around to all the land.
And made a sign for all to see.
My two fingers said Peace to thee.
The truth and peace in all the land.
Be kind and loving to fellow man.

The King and I

As I ventured through the jungle I came across the mighty Lion
Side by side we journeyed all the while I was tryin’
To become a man, and walk alone, compose myself stand tall
But the kings the king and like a parachute he slowed my fall
Still fall I did and fell again, this burden trend 
Recurrence feels to have no end….

Now deep in the jungle to prevent any rumble
I suggested to his majesty it’d be best if we part ways
But if our paths should cross again amidst this endless haze
Then hand and hand we’d walk again in search of the open plains
To find his pride, my peace of mind, now lost in thought, nearly forgot
Who I am, what I was, whom I still long to be 
A king of a domain, inhabited by only 3…	

On through the night, 
By the pale moon light
A gauntlet sea of trees
The brush that I secluded to 
Now held me away from me
As fear set in, I then realized  
This king disguised as my jungle guide
Was leading me to my demise
Self devised, a false icon my mind derived

Blurred no more 
I step out from the fog 
The clearing revealed
Within myself no longer concealed
Out from the shadows
Emerged my angel
I feel the warmth rush over my soul
At peace my world is whole

This quest complete 
My stars aligned
All as it should be
Domain…. Now
Life 
My wife
The gift we call REMY…..

Premium Member The Fire

I am the penitent fire,
The smoldering answer to the final question,
The World Host,
The vibrant colors in your eyes,

And yet...

            I spill tragedy everywhere.
                         I rail 
                            and rage against the bars in my mind,
            recklessly tearing thoughts as they occur,

watering love as I dismiss the act;
the pail heavy and wet, but I'm not carrying
all of it.  The child I help carries it with me.
He is 14-years-old and has tumors all over his brain. 
He loves walkie-talkies and bugs.
And neither of us wanna water the damn plants.

(Though we do it and now we have shared in something.)
Battling against our thoughts we secretly embrace the
process of life.  And we will walk back to our special classroom 
in and through the Transitional Light, the peace falling through the air 
like unfiltered grace, the pear-scented morning of a school day 
swirling all around...

And then last night I sit beside a woman my age,
and the peace that has sat like a lake rises to a pulpy gall
as I recognize the vibrant colors in her eyes
as my birthplace and beacon through the smoke
of the immense fire of life I am even now burning, burning off.

             Walk with me now, through the blaze, as the blaze...

Premium Member From the Clouds To the Sea {swap Quatrain}

I watch the clouds as they drift by
Like nameless faces in the sky
They quiet all in me that’s loud
As they drift by I watch the clouds

Like the rain I shed my tears
For I have finally faced my fears
Bringing peace to what was insane
I shed my tears like the rain

As raindrops fall the river flows
Nourishing the flower as it grows
I have found peace in it all
The river flows as raindrops fall

The river drains into the sea
As I learn to be all I can be
Set free from all my pains
Into the sea the river drains

Id

Another presence roams inside me, its thoughts presses into my mind and its desires rot into 
the core of my soul.  Its desires and wishes are only pleasures filled with pain; I repel its 
offers of a gratifying but bitter intent.   Nevertheless it never wavers from its path to tempt 
me into its void of a pit, it whispers violently and sweetly “I know YOU better than you know 
yourself, so why don’t you let your hand move freely and feel the warmth it lust for, let it 
mark your face with its deeds.”  I fear his words, words which perhaps may have truth 
hidden in them, no matter how false and delusional they may seem.  But I am not what you 
think I am, nor will I ever be what you tempt me to be. “Tempt you, no I am merely guiding 
you for you are no different than this stout man who says he will help anyone in need and 
here he is indulging himself in front of these outstretched hands of famished children’s; 
you’re just like him, nothing more than a hypocrite who wants peace. Your just like everyone 
else in this world, you let this society pick into your minds and weed out the truth, and what 
do you do you idly sit until your nothing more than a puppet for their amusement.” Know I’m 
a hypocrite who wants peace, is it because I don’t fall in line with the rest when they say 
recycle and save energy, is it because my eyes view peace on a grander scale then doing 
these small deeds,  these small deeds that they still don’t accept and only will show progress 
when it’s too late.  “What makes you think your peace or any peace at all will resolve our 
problems, peace has only one flavor, but war has so many flavors it produces such as 
genocide, hate, anger, poverty, hunger, and so, so much more.   Its best yet is death; I ask 
you how peace can compete with such a potent flavor, when peace itself has but one taste.  
A taste, a flavor that will eventually fade away in the mouth of all humans like all unwanted 
products that cast them away from their comfort zones. Why you may ask because they 
choose to create a heaven on earth but this heaven is none other than one riddled with sins 
and lies.”

The Empire Soars On the Back of a Falcon

The empire soars on the back of a falcon,
Blinded with fame and power in mind
It preaches its principles serenaded with deception,
To the wind and ocean.
Yet peace is clutched in its claws but it refuses to open,
To open, these shapeless minds governed by false hope.
The empire soars and soars ever high on the back of a falcon,
Masked with and by deception yet peace is clutched in its claws, 
Claws that anchor it down when it tries to touch the
Black star.

Some days I just want to scream
And scream
And scream
And get all of these voices
Out of my head.

I just want them all to go
To go out and far away
I just want some peace and quiet
I just really, really want 
some peace and quiet.

No voices from the outside
No voices from the inside

Some days I just want to scream
And scream
And scream
A basic primordial scream
Until I can’t anymore.

Until I’m lying down on the floor
And I can wrap myself in me.
A comfortable place to be
And then I can go to sleep
And not hear anymore voices.

The meaning of life is unclear
We can’t find out, we’re not even near.
Life is truly very unfair.
The only solution left is simple: don’t care,
If not then it’s just too much to bear.

Having an image of peace is an illusion
A public distraction only to end with a horrid conclusion.
The government, a corrupt icon
Use the people’s image of peace as a pawn
Only to kill your king and be gone.

The meaning of life… to make others suffer as much as possible 
To avoid peace that seems attainable.
