Best Merged Poems
MERGED IN SURRENDER
Kiss me quiet under the rain~ skips and pounds,
awash the tears and pain fevering my anguish,
with the July moon to stir my slothful frown,
wide-skirted trees swing demure on the breeze
their cyclic sops and bows-- a dancing clown.
Our hands clasp to spins and turns on that wet ground,
tango to loves groove, we are pleased to tease
as this emblaze our spirit and behold our strength.
The air touched by purple lilac blossoms caress--
it velvety flirt tickling our pact distress.
Our hungered bodies beseech on nightly bounds
in a ballroom beseem for loving grounds.
From lips tiptoeing on skin, so easy they appease,
to strokes flavoured by glows of summer reprise,
slow to fast moves wings a-twitter heated degrees
as this emblaze our spirit and behold our strength.
Among the years where there's whispers that seize,
experience match our heartbeats on impermeable squeeze
and if tension snaps on daylight and nightfall sound
in search of essences where rubbles or debris abounds...
In the absence of solution, should we stop to care?
Ah! Let crisp leaves of autumn display our memories,
cherish the days when February sings Spring: our promise
as this emblaze our spirit and behold our strength.
Hearken thoughts and hearts merged in surrender,
the shaped images and forms impress the depths,
our love root a seed echoing the song of forever
as this emblaze our spirit and behold our strength.

the price of passion
null and void if it hasn’t
been merged in the Lord

i am as misunderstood as you are
let's be ourselves together
we do not have to change to conform or coincide
let's lighten our loads and present our true introduction
it will be fun, refreshing, and a gratifying release as well
i heard myself crying in the nucleus of your tears' waterfall
like i miracle within a daydream, i took an inspiration shower in your story
together we got down on our knees and gave God the Glory
healed of our mental injuries we felt
you are as misunderstood as i am
let's discover comforting bravery together
we do not have to transform to find comfort or to fit in
let's lighten our loads and make new art from our respective self destruction
it will be fun, extraordinary, and a satisfying experience in which to dwell
Look at that window
Far in the horizon
Two lovely flowers
Are put at two ends
Beautiful, fragrant, colourful,
Sophisticated and graceful
They watched each other
Everyday and all the time
Sending their sweet smells
To each other
And fell in love
They asked the wind to come
Wind came
They swam to touch
The hearts of each other
Bent with full reach
But were unable to reach
Slowly time passed
And their love
Kept on maturing
Then came the winter of life
Looking into the eyes
They shaded their last leaves
An unknown fragrant of love
Spread in the air
Finally their true love
Rewarded by Almighty
And their smelling souls
Merged into one forever
And the smell of their faith
Still resides in the breath
Of all true lovers
A shower ignites the grey
Smears of misty yellow flows
Through red center organized
All merged together…

here where there is nobody
this is the best peace sometimes
i am free of all physicality right now
i can finally think freely
this vibe is not about finding myself
this vibe has nothing to do with running away
this vibe has more to do with a break rare taken
here where there is nobody
there where there is somebody
that is the best medicine when needed
i am free when i just relax and release
i can finally be myself and feel totally unjudged
in this vibe, a backrub is included
in this vibe, a surprise dinner is totally unexpected
in this vibe, a warm, sincere smile is welcomed with paramount pleasure
the combination is both
this is the most priceless
we are both free to be free in the here and the now
we can finally feel the feeling of being highly favored and truly blessed
we live the vibe of our merged dreams
we breathe the vibe of our merged dreams
we embrace the vibe of our merged dreams
it brings us closer as a direct result....One Love Under God....
THE MERGED SHADOWS
We walked under the mid-day sun together
Blazing glowing furrows across life’s meadow,
The sun won’t shine long, we didn’t bother,
We trampled our shrunk shapeless shadows.
In the twilight gleam of the setting sun
Lengthening shadows defined our time diffuse
Reminding us a new journey in haze had begun,
We’d see our senile shadows sprawl and fuse.
When from us blue glaze of the sky would be gone
In falling light our shadows would mark the path to follow,
When the cold sun would start to sink down the horizon
We‘d merge and become the essence of soft shadows.

You ask why I chose you.
I thought you knew!
I chose you like clean air
Because you refreshed my existence
I chose you like the ocean
Because you regulated the climate of my spirit
I chose you like the sun
Because you nourished my heart’s daily routine
I chose you like the soil
Because you filtered the waters of my life that keep me clean
I chose you like the sanctity of tears
Because you supported my focus and cleared my vision
I chose you like laughter
Because you elevated my mood and provided a mirror for my decisions
You ask why I chose you
Without you I was quite capable of becoming the best version of my soul
But together we merged two lives that rendered us one and whole
I thought you knew…my soul chose you
