Best Marvellous Poems
Pills, pills, marvellous pills
They cure everything, except manage our bills
Pills for depression
Pills for obsession
Too bad their ain't one for being over the hill

let us pray unto our loving Lord
this one who's so full of kindness
such a marvelous thing to know
for we're darkened in our blindness
My gracious God father in heaven
penetrate into my intellect so light
take away all that's just ignorance
put there righteous knowledge so bright
Delicately cut open all my emotions
show your loving kindness into my heart
fill it full of my immense gratitude
may it honour you in no small part
Make my faith even as mustard seed
to grow up into a large oak tree
renew me with your full confidence
so my testimony's real for all to see
In my experience make it all so real
have thy loving kindness so dear
so I be delivered completely from all
that would bring upon me any fear
Thank you O my Lord and king
answer this prayer I do humbly bring
for you have shown such love again
to me a sinner redeemed! Glory amen!
(Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them.' Psalm 17: 7(KJV)
'Show it to my intellect and remove my ignorance,
show it to my heart and receive my gratitude,
show it to my faith and renew my confidence,
show it to my experience and deliver me from all my fears'
C.H. Spurgeon - commentary on Psalms 17 v. 7)
Marvellous Life
Back then it is back then- so bloody long ago-
my heart sang when going home after seeing you
I crossed a bridge, and the water hummed a love
song and there was no troll under it being
sarcastic telling me love will not last how wrong
the troll was, love is the earth I walk upon it is
the olive tree, the sun and rain that fall it is a part
of what is beautiful in your heart and that you could
not take away the day you left. You made me free to
love the magnificence of reality and charity knowing
my life is wat it is supposed to be today.
January.
I now perform the annual alchemy,
my purpose :
to capture Spanish sunshine in a jar.
Seville :
white fragrant flower to bitter orange sphere.
Childrey :
sugar, water, shredded peel to liquid gold.
Now attend
and carefully stir the boiling cauldron,
Shakespearian
witch-like, the transmutation is complete.
Scottish myth.
Her courtiers cry “Ma’am est malade”, forsooth,
Mair’s headache
cured with orange confiture, a royal preserve.
At breakfast.
The early morning sun aslant the glass,
light shining
through shredded peel makes goldfish in the swim.
Marmalade.
The bitter-sweet tang melds with buttered toast.
Marvellous
flavour. What better way to start the day ?
Marvellous
it is to get
lost
in your eyes, in your
touch, in your
mind without
thoughts, without
fears, without
weapons, without
shields
Marvellous
it is to plunge in the
abyss hands
in hands without
parachutes, without
a B plan, without
wings, without
weight
Marvellous
indeed it is to find
you forever
enmeshed with my
soul
sunshine
and swallows,
first buttercup,
blossom on hawthorn..each
turn up
Marvellous
Super hero,
Who is
Above
Diabolos,
Demons
and
Zero,
The only
Super Hero
who said to Devil
" I own the World and
Everything in it."
King of the kings
and
Lord of lords
Christ Jesus
The
Super hero
The
Saviour
Of
The
World.

Color-change radiance of wondrous reign
showcases Autumn’s marvel to the sight
grandeur of nature midst glowing terrain
exposing sovereign artistic might...
God’s design for distinct season*’s delight.
Beauty of Fall surely shines in each hue
as bright leaves of magenta do prevail
along maroon petioles bidding adieu
while boughs of crimson and scarlet scale
yield toward pale russet or auburn’s hail.
Foliage exudes transformation bliss
midst phenomenon that’s iridescent
environment's creative work not to miss
making souls bask in festive Autumn scent
gracious moments packed with precious present.
*Ecclesiastes 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.

hues of rainbows
coloring the dark skies
of my forlorn soul
she is caressing my mind
cool breeze from the rivulet
of forbidden love
boundless possibilities
conditioned narrow vision
restriction of dreams
bliss woven into
the rhapsody
of a flute
life is a
marvellous adventure
wonder for fascination
we should live it up

Marvellous Monika Madam
Millennium, asylum of powerful persons in school.
One of the inspiring personalities in its tool
Is Monika madam with her luring qualities skillful:
Smile, courage, oratory adroitness beautiful.
Full of compassion, knowledge, craft and rule
For betterment of the institution in whirlpool.
She strives always in her own Millennium yule,
Helps problems disappear quickly like fuel.
With keen observation picks out a dirty fool
Punishes with care, keeping self-esteem tool
At hand. A silent workaholic vice principal
Is never seen in vicinity. A hardworking cool.
She hates any deleterious, putrid person's drool;
She is the third who touched my mind in school,
And turned my negativity into assured babool.
Ever smiling, grinning, joyful lady with wonderful
Charming face like Punam, with a simper cool.
In life's windy winter is like a safeguarding wool
Increases warmth, coziness, comfort after school.
With Seema, Sushil, Jaimin, Hardik, Amit and Kekul
Creating wonders with her experience and example.
She touched me when I cried in knee deep trouble
With myself alone - a afflicting, agonizing pool.
Wishing god to create safest path for such cool,
Confident, cheerful, substantial, decisive wool.
Millennium, asylum of powerful persons in school.
Abundance of blossoms does reign
Buds, blooms and bulbs showcase birth gain
Creative season marked by Spring
Delightful nature --- wonders bring.
Enthralling with radiant glow
Flowers like daffodils show
Golden hues amidst hope, serene
Heralding bounty, freshly green.
Invigorating Spring inspires
Jubilantly as heart admires
Kaleidoscopic earth*’s beauty
Lauding the Source, Lord Almighty.
*Psalm 104:24 O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.

The Marvellous Moggy
By Jan Beaumont
There's something for which most of us all share a great affection
A thing that's like a living welcome mat
While some like dogs for comradeship and sometimes for protection
A lot of people own a much loved cat.
Now 'own' is hardly relevant as most of us would know
It will tolerate you if it wants a snack
While you can call a dog and he'll come running to your side
The cat says "Leave a message, I'll get back."
Now some are quite affectionate while others are aloof
And some are just delicious balls of fluff
But if you stroke it longer than its wanting to be stroked
You'll surely know when it has had enough.
There are some that twine around your legs and some sit on your lap
The minute you sit down they're in your face
Although its nice, the thing is when they finally get off
You end up with their hair in every place!
Their favourite spot's the keyboard when you're trying hard to work
They lie across it, totally spread out
Or if you try to read, they lie completely on your book
Its just to brass you off, without a doubt!
And first thing in the morning just before your eyes are open
You've the feeling that there's something in your space
You slowly raise an eyelid and you're greeted with the sight
of these staring eyes two inches from your face.
In winter its a 'hottie' as it comes and shares your bed
And down beneath the sheets it disappears
How deep it goes depends on just how cold the night's become
You'd be lucky if you even saw its ears!
We all have favourite types of cat, there's certainly a lot
Some of us like tabbies, some Burmese
But no matter what your preference there'll be one just right for you
Whichever one you choose its sure to please.
Our cats are often with us for a great amount of years
And we love them like our children there's no doubt
And when its time to leave us it can really break our hearts
As we watch the light behind their eyes go out.
So now we can remember all those precious little ones
And the pleasure that they gave us through the years
They'll always be so special and they'll stay within our hearts
As the memory of each 'moggy' reappears!
Marvellous patterns that abound,
Found everywhere and all around us,
Predicting both future and past,
The complex, everlasting, tapestry
Beyond the tangled web of mystery
When viewed from skies high above,
Patterns emerge in unbroken light
A glorious sight indeed
We revere the elderly, and with reason,
For season after season they scale this mound,
From the mountaintop they see the grand design,
And peer byond the secret veil,
And understand the pattern’s tale
So let us honor those who can see,
The patterns that guide both you and me,
For in understanding the infinity, the truth,
We can live in the divinity of youth

Key Verse – Psalm 98:1 O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory.

Thank You for doing marvelous things to me by Your light
Daily radiating Your power’s might
Surely illumining me through Your Word’s insight…
Indeed, I follow You with worshipful and joyful delight.
Thank You for doing marvelous things to me by Your presence
Daily presenting Your certainty’s fluorescence
Surely attending to me Your goodness-incense…
Indeed, I come to You upon prayer and supplication’s iridescence.

The marvellous Grace of our Loving Lord
It is something we cannot afford not to be grateful for
Nights are not forever
The sun is aware that darkness ends!
Make your vision so clear that your fears become irrelevant
Because the marvellous Grace of the Loving Lord is working!
Fear is but the sign that courage also exists inside of us
We have the Grace of the Lord that works in our midst
So you are beyond the tears breaking all the fears!
You have not failed
You have not missed the boat
You belong to your purpose even
If a river of darkness comes your way!
Stay glued to your purpose
Life carries storms and a blaze of sunshine so
Never decline your future
Because the Grace of the Loving Lord is working!
You are a creature of time
There is a future so
Deliver your fears in the face of adversity and
Remember that you are beyond the tears breaking all the fears
Because the marvellous Grace of our Loving Lord is with us!
