Best Look For Poems
A robin landed on a thin branch
Watching everything around
It flew leaving the tree swaying
Without ever making a sound
The calm part of day is here
Green buds are now arriving
Even with so much gray sky
And tough things, we are surviving
Each peaceful moment is precious in this craziness
As bad news flows like a raging river
I hold onto peace where ever it is found
To calm my mind and stop the shiver
Evil is taking the reins like never before
A whirlwind is happening every day
Breathe, pray, stay strong all you can
Look for light in the sky, smiles, all on your way
In this light you will not be lost
Discover simplicity and all it inspires
Because there is much more to come
And many things the soul requires

He has the love that I
No longer have to look for
The love that he gives me
And cares a whole lot more
For me and my feelings
My thoughts and my dreams
And don’t try and ruin them
With his crazy love beams
He supports me for whatever
I may just decide to do
And he will always tell me
That he will be all true
I see the love that shines
From his heart to his soul
And to tell you the truth
He’s all I want to know
I want to get to know him
And see the rest of his love
So I can be his angel
That comes from up above.
I find myself walking around in a daze
It's hard to see with all this cloudy haze.
I look for clearear skies within my own
mind, but without you here, there so hard
to find
I look for you in my nights and dream
of you through my days.
I miss your laughing eyes and your
paralyzing gaze.
People stand around me, so I know
Im not alone, but somehow I feel lost
and my destination is unknown. If you
where here to guide me, I know I could
make it through.
I know I wouldn't be lost any more if I
could only find you.
Searching-
Look for the Good look deep if you must
Open up your heart and give me a fresh start
One little thing to trigger it off and you never see the good in me
Why do you torment me with one mistake?
Look for the Good for Goodness sakes
Look for the Good you might see the Good in you!
Look amidst the leaves
They flutter to earths floor
And find me waiting.
Daydreamer....
Skyscraper....
I wish to be famous
In the same fortune bus
Arrogance and pride
Marrying me like a bride
I'm a bad boyfriend
And I don't mean to offend
Chillin like a villain should
I shouldn't be so lazy
I'm feeling a little hazy
Drunk off of energy
High off of being free
Trying to hold on to positivity
Let me be, negativity...my corrupted baby...
Rebellion shouldn't be my middle name
Shame on me for being so lame
Lost in a multitude
Shy with bad attitude
I drowned in frowns
I had no friends to begin with
Going through my downs
My life...I wish it was all a silly, little myth
I will not be a potty mouth
Liars are like phones that lag
My mind goes from north to south
I'm a thousand dirty little rags...I'm annoying straight individuals again...don't ever say I'm acting like a ***
Because gays, lesbians, and bisexual people are human...
And they should be treated as one
I will be a responsible adult-teen that's good
It's not good in the hood in my ghetto neighborhood
Tho...
No...
I guess I wasn't meant to be a poet
Ideas get thrown down the pit...
Again....
Frustration and vulnerability make me a victim of sham shame
Just graze in your own maze
Leave. Me. Alone.
I'm mellow-yellow anger
Red doesnt describe what I feel
Discreet like two quiet feet
I'm feeling as worthless as a fatigued whale...far away from the sun-shining shore
I want love in my shoes and more
No...I'm a temporary show
The audience doesn't care
I'll go by my own flow like a gray, white and black striped crow
I'm not gay...I'm not pansexual...I'm not bisexual...I'm not transgender...I am straight.
I'm happy with being me
No labels involved hopefully
Feeling so bleak like winter's night
Let's fight the greatest fight during divine flight tonight
I'll fly with my might
With no shame
I'm not playing my mind games
My confusion increases
My heart is shattered in pieces...
Then things get ugly...abuse is seen on TV...a thousand times and more...it's a sad earth without mercy and mirth...
I mend slowly
So lend a hand and help me be free
In sunlit glee...give birth to a heavenly mirth
I'm not in grave danger
Being me isn't stranger
As we pass along lifes path,
coasting towards the end
of what has been
and what has still to be,
will spiritual release, be granted to all,
or is our heritage to be just dust,
in a vacant eternity.
I have Walked in hope,
I have laughed and cried,
I have seen despair around me,
But there is always someone near,
some help in lifes dark mire
who fill the void with kindness,
Reawakening life's cold embers,
into a warming fire.
Searching for the why
looking for the way
the answer will be found, for sure,
but not I fear today.
lucky are those who live
and question not
Following others who know not
Having faith in a journey
Whose destination is not known
hoping to arrive at their spiritual home.
which prophet to follow,
So many to choose,
There's Christ and Mahommed,
and Abraham too,
Vishnu and Bhudda represent many,
Indeed India had more than any,
China has now, but only a few,
Ancient Pantheism once was rife
maybe that is the meaning of life.
keep looking, keep loving, keep living,
Death might be the only reward!
I’m sure that home to many has a different meaning.
It depends what kind of life
they’ve been receiving.
There are those with memories of hurt and pain.
Some may not want to mention their families name.
Others have childhood memories they are fond of.
They may have a family that they’re proud of!
I think that in many cases, home is not what people see.
It has a lot of importance.
Both to you and me!
What home means to me is to have our family together.
And ask the Lord to bless it, with his love forever!
God gave me a wife and children to take care of.
May I not do things that I’d be ashamed of!
I invite YOU Jesus, to be the head of our home!
May we come together as a family,
around your throne!
May our family serve
one another as we should.
May the truths of God’s word
be applied and understood!
May the Lord help us to get along,
with our imperfections.
May God’s word be our “road map,” for needed direction!
There’s no perfect home. Believe me! I know it!
When it comes to family time… We all need to show it!
Unless the lord builds the home…
They labor in vain that build it!
Let’s seek God’s blessing! So his love can completely fill it!
Please come Jesus! And fill our home today!
May our home be honored by what we do and say!

When I look at you,I see a friend, cause true friendship is social,it connects happy souls into oneness, that's why love always finds a way!
When I look at you, mind battles with thoughts, there be no headaches instead a better decisions. Smiles becomes laughter,but dimples remain fixed holes on cheeks!
When I look in your eyes, eyeball to an eyeball, the view depicts exactly what lunar eclipse is like, the coolest moment where it feels like looking at the fogdog beyond the sunset beach before dusk. Not an ordinary skin but of an angel, face that glows,round eyes yet too brownish,ones that are not big, opened when it stares but closed when it winks,with a tear-drop to can quench one's thirst when the world experiences the huge draught.
When I look at you, I find solutions for all the problems I encountered under the sun, future paths looks clearer without thorns and the bridge to success get crossed without barriers.
When I look at you,it reminds me that God has authorized my existence a long time ago before I born,and He put you on my ways so that you be the reason for my breathing!
Indeed beauty is not just the structure of the nice body but distinctive appearance that attracts attention of the present eye! Feel free to love if it makes you happy and make it a growing trend because true love is seldom found!
When i look at you... please look back at me!
Real love starts with sweet looks!
they helped to look for little Caylee,
in rugged woods, muddy lakes and ditches
endless days and nights, thousands searched
everywhere by foot, car, boat and air
in rugged woods, muddy lakes and ditches,
they tirelessly looked for signs of her--
everywhere by foot, car, boat and air;
hoping she had survived any danger
they tirelessly looked for signs of her,
while Caylee's family pleaded for her return,
hoping she had survived any danger--
until her mother confessed she had drown
while Caylee's family pleaded for her return,
endless days and nights, thousands searched;
until her mother confessed she had drown,
they helped to look for little Caylee
*FOR Pantoum CONTEST
I listened to the story
of a car factory
that was going
to close down
Again I thought
three hundred workers
that are going to be
out of work
If only
they would work together
Two years before hand
they knew the end was coming
They knew they had
redundancy money
investing together
could they not, make
Another factory
they have the design skills
they have the engineers
they have the managers
They have the investment
all they need is another idea
another direction
another job
They said on face book
that in fifteen years
38% of the work force
will be replaced by robots
yet people still need jobs
increase the tax
perhaps people could get money
from the dole
yet then company's
would leave
for third world economies
where they paid less tax
leave the world to head
down this path
and you destroy
your consumer market
!8,000 children already die
everyday from hunger
and starvation
what future are you creating
surely the human race
has a brain
surely we can create
a better system
Turn people into investors
perhaps they can earn dividends
instead of wages
for the system to work
people need money
to buy their food
as jobs become
redundant
We need to change
the way people
get money
society needs to think
use your brains
we have a problem
how do we create
a solution
The thought of me that came into your mind,
It grew;
It blossomed;
You thwarted it;
Hopefully you are letting it wilt and die.
I do not want to ignite old flames.
I want to believe your words were true;
After all you said them,
But my mind acts as if it has a mind of its own.
It's been months but still it will not hear the end of it.
These feelings are beginning to feel disgusting;
I hope they die.
I tell myself I need space;
Space away from you;
Honey believe me, I only believe that for a while;
Then I begin to look for you;
The you I know I will never find.
I get glad when you don't show;
When you neither call nor text;
Because if you as so much turn your head I fear I might clutch onto you;
So I hope this dies.
Then I dream of you;
You are just next to me;
You talk a lot but it feels like silence;
I smile at you;
You peak at me once or thrice,
I am reminded of our old days;
When you used to care.
I feel comforted at the same time I feel sadness
Is this what it means to be delusional?
I hope it dies
I know I love you;
I know I miss you;
I know I yearn for you;
I know I search for you;
But I can no longer differentiate between your truths and your lies;
I know my truth but I don't know what to do with it;
So I hope it all dies
They are all horrible, and they hate me as usual.
I am unlikeable, wherever I go, I stand alone.
You have to look for goodness she told him.
As soon as you see your own, you can see others.
But he had been feeding his mind the worst foods.
rage, jealousy, disappointment, despair, suspicion.
You must begin today to feed your wolf delight.
Look for your joy and build enthusiasm and love.
Grief
is such a lonely road
that I must walk
now you have gone
Family and friends
are always there
but for me
my grief
I cannot share
And when they ask me
‘How am I’
I smile and say
‘Yes I’m okay’
But that’s not true
For deep inside
is so much pain
each day I hide
My inner thoughts
my physical pain
my thoughts of
seeing you again
I look for signs
most every day
But are these signs
I sometimes see
from you to me
these signs I see
Or am I just imagining
these signs are sent from you
For if I thought
these signs weren’t true
my grief
well how could I get through
Keep sending signs
they help me live
each day
each night
they help me through
they give me faith
they give me life
they give me hope
that one day
we may meet again
These signs I pray are real and true
they gently take away my pain
of living life without you...

I know you don’t fully understand the words I say
Complication has always helped me hide meaning
Give me time, understanding will come in its day
Thoughts of you, are always in my mind streaming
I’ve gotten lost on a long road that leads nowhere
Complication has always helped me hide meaning
For a chance to look into your eyes, just one stare
I have been broken for some time, in this abyss
I’ve gotten lost on a long road that leads nowhere
Your presence is something that I crave and miss
I never comprehend how it is that I get far away
I have been broken for some time, in this abyss
The saying goes, where there’s a will there’s a way
My will almost destroyed, not much hope inside me
I never comprehend how it is that I can get far away
In a darkness, my soul lives, wondering what wil be
Many things I want to express, but can’t seem to say
My will almost destroyed, not much hope inside me
Give me time, the understanding will come in its day
