Best Mortals Poems

Alas
how they suffer
poverty seeds disease 
like a puddle breeds mosquitoes - 
the sickly buzz is everywhere..

the dirge of the drudge 
nowadays damn near everyone in refrain
rites and rituals --
enough to almost make this heartless
hooded old man feel faint - ha! 
..a feign of concern with...

Fragrance in garden.
Memories of fresh plowed earth.
Ghost of ancient planters plant.
Seeds that bloom in spring.
Burst forth in magnificence.
No eyes to behold grandeur.
Gone from this garden.
Where once fellowship had been.
Made to leave because of sin....

"Lord what fools these mortals be!" Wm. Shakespeare

I hesitate to be on the same page,
with I the greatest poet of the ages,
but I believe his words to be true now, 
fools gathering when it is not allowed.
 
The fools don't care who they put in...

What lesser mortals? 

What lesser mortals
than Rimbaud
claim themselves 
a poet within 
another self, 
for there is more 
than just one self

depending on the
time and day 
and nothing 

is as it seems
at first, 
we are born 
from abstract 
firmament to the 
Infirmament

arriving 
planned and unplanned 
in...

Existence is jam-packed with such deadly traps,
You would wonder why its Author made it so;
You never are sure and ever live on borrowed time
For its turns may any time deal you a terminal blow.

You breathe when you find you can,
And will not be there to...

The Sapient and the Sages
Instilling in the veins of Ages!!
Masked is the armour of love,
Narrating Fables of Gravity thereof!!!

Gravity was never for Mortals!
Moon behold the Earth with Chortles!!
Blazing in the form of Gravity !
Earth Tugged the Moon sans privity!!

For the love of the Orb of...

We pray to the planets for bestowing good luck,
And consult the stars for predicting our future..

We blame the universe for the misfortunes that happen,
And search the galaxies for hidden messages..

Asking and demanding,
Searching and seeking..

Yet the universe remains coldly silent,
Offering no solutions,
Providing no knowledge..

That should show...

Medusa, Stheno and Euryale were threats to each other.
Their mother had to caution them to use their snakes wisely.
Typical sisters, there was much hissing, spitting and biting.
Their sitter had her hands full as their snakes were venomous.

Why did the gods give you snakes instead of...

save those tears for the solitude of night
alone in your cold little widow’s bed
when gates open to memories flowing

still shellshocked by the emptiness
of his love suddenly gone

taking comfort in knowing
how it went down all so perfect
in every detail of every moment

how he slipped into the...

Mortals
By Michelle Morris

Here we mortals turn to stone
By our hardened hearts
And callous disregard 
For each other and our planet

Let us embrace our humanity
And melt the hardness and tar
That holds us down and immobilised
That keeps us from freeing our souls

Imagine the light that burns deep within
It's...

Nights are long and days seem short…

Son of God loves pure light…

See the light at the end of the road…

Hopes and fears, of all the years are at rest…

Come with me, to pay respect…


While mortals sleep and angels weep…

We the Mortals 


As glamorous as it might seem
this world actually is hollow inside;
Those beautiful smiling faces
sure have sadness embed in;
There being no absolute measure 
of happiness and tranquility;
Both playing hide and seek 
sometimes lost, at times found;
As those big houses and riches 
fail to...

As you pass by this yard
Do not make any sound,
The dead are asleep here 
Six feet below the ground;

This a haven of peace
Which you will know to be,
When you come here to rest
In this cemetery.

Never have I had fear for flying darts
My tingling thoughts of the world was weird
Many told of nature's hard hazards
Beauties I saw instead of dirties

So was my heart as a dove
Peaceful in a world full of fools
Like sunshine in sneaky shadows

No damnation I saw possible...

The road to heaven is before us
It is not difficult to find
It is enshrined in the word of God
Jesus is the way, the truth and life
And so we should not be frightened where we are going to
He is with us
If we put our trust in...
