Best Ords Poems
A kind word, of course,
Can soothe the flustered soul or bring a smile
To a frowning face. That’s a given, but
In one’s troubled times, words still are
Only words.
Naked they become, for we see right through them when
Sincerity is misspoken and devoid of thoughtful deed.
Simple gestures are more meaningful than pretty words.
Persuasive poets perhaps pen verses to their beloved
Elegant and extravagant like pearls. Empty all the same
Are artful words given in pretense or with thought of recompense.
Kindness for me is found in action!
Lovers - real and honest lovers - are
Obliging, and they are more than kind!
Unabashedly they step in to defend those whom they hold dear.
During good times and bad, they will be there,
Enduring every hardship by their lover’s side,
Relinquishing their own needs for the needs of their adored.
Thank God if such a man or woman
Has ever graced your life.
Actions of their ardor
Never should be taken for granted.
Words can be loud with promises,
Overflowing also with
Romance! But only a fool would
Deny that one's exhibition of love is
So much the sweeter!
Written March 29, 2016 for the Cliche contest of Silent One
L et your thoughts travel to pen
A fter all you’ve been through
Y ield to your spirit, friend.
D id you ever want to cry from the inside,
O utward appearance tranquil,
W ords spoken all for nought,
N ever knowing why?
Y ahweh may be behind that veil,
O dds are He’s waiting for you to give in,
U gly as you feel,….. ready yourself to write.
R each into your spirit; lay down the words that come.
W ords express at this time what you know not.
O ften lessons are learned that we have not sought.
R arely will your burden not be lightened,
D oing that which you were gifted to do.
S o to be at peace; .. lay down your words.
Poems with very little words
Only serve to minutise my imagination
Every word has the power to build
My sweet imagination
So serve them to me on a blank white sheet
WITH
Verbalization flare and you got my thanks forever
Engage me in your story let me feel the
Rising passion of your soul and
You will have me hooked forever
LITTLE
Words restrict my possibility of expansive thought
Open your mind and spill out the story my fellow poet
Rewind your life and tell me all the stories of your journey
Dance on my soul like a dervish circling my aura
Sing to me with words of assonance and repetance
STUNT
Me with your poet's steel quill and dip me in your well
You need not scimp on words just show me your story of
GROWTH .

I ntegrity wins the game
N ot much escapes MORALITY
T ime takes apathy and encloses it in a gilded cage
H holidays are ever lasting, cheerful and filled with luster
I ntimacy is always allowed to speak out loud
S ocial skills are encouraged and enhanced
W ords of wisdom without apprehension are spoken aloud
O bedience is mastered in substantial ways
R econciliation is all we ever hear
L ove is always the last URGE
D ishonesty is lost in Gray SOLITUDE
A world where RIGHTEOUSNESS lives and POSITIVITY overflows. A WORLD of utopian DAYS locked in perfection' s EMBRACE
A n ABECEDARIAN poem could prove my most daunting undertaking
B othersome whispering in my ear were the likes of Frost, Fallon and Dickerson
C alling out to me incessantly by name
D id I not recognize the potion that was stirred would cause me to reject my name
E ncouraged only by the ink of my pen
F irst I must be preposterously patient
G liding my pen across the page, I invented a ELABORATE world of colorful words
H igh on top THE parallel UNIVERSE of poetry I began
I dentifying all difficulties essential to my cause
J ust to name a couple: the importance of using particular words and misusing others
K illing time instead of killing rhymes
L ine by line by line
M ighty is this feat which I have incurred
N ot nearly done I've stumbled upon a conundrum
O utstanding accomplishment, an actual 26 LETTERS
P oetry for me is at times quite perplexing
Q uizzing myself intelligently to respond compliantly
R esponsible to none other except my own verbs, adjectives etc.
S eriously, an insurmountable mother of all conundrums is all but solved
T otally harrowing journey to the MAXIMUM
U nder the disguise of cruel effort I EMERGED THE BETTER
V arious poets with magical discipline may have been even more successful than I
W ords have played a persistent and flirtatious game of trickery where I am the victor
X ray vision is fun to perceive but wouldn't have assisted me in this craft
Y ou can be certain I will probably never attempt this trial again
Z ealously the conclusion has mercifully arrived at my PLEADING
I-t's time to forget the fault,
S-aying you forgive someone;
M-ake it easy for your life,
A-ccepting what's been done.
E-asy to forget, it's true, if you possess purity of heart;
L-et animosity vanish, let anger and hatred depart.
M-ake the mistake be forgotten,
A-fter your mind has made up;
N-ever let nonchalant way
G-et into the crack or gap.
L-et the wrong be brought
I-nto the night's oblivion;
C-hoose the righteous path,
M-aking a walk in the horizon.
O-bliterate the mare's nest, as well as the snake pit;
T-ry your best to erase them, eliminating them bit by bit.
G-rave sin is all but nothing
U-nless it's not forgiven;
M-ove on for a fresh start,
A-llowing your soul to open.
W-ords of God can remove
I-ll feelings, tumble and mess;
D-ay twenty-seven September pray, forgetting fault with forgiveness.
O-n this day in history, electorate gave the
mandate.
L-ords of that time annulled an election,
an unfair decision to the citizenry, a
decision without a reason.
A-nnulment it was, that was the worst
J-uggernauts!, were they? who were?
I-ntention in doing that was in fact
opposed
D reams were shattered, some were
battered, alas, others passed on
E-mphasis on the struggle for
Democracy is paramount, and one can
not overemphasise the importance.
O-verjoyed, to hear the announcement
R emembrance at last, honours deserved
I-n my time, some critics of politics are
alarmed by the honours: honours long
overdue
A-ccolades: finally given, accolades
deserved
M-artyr: A Martyr is reborn
I-s Mediocrity in our Democracy over and
can we empower Democracy to
overpower Mediocrity and sustain
Democracy.?
S-olidarity is forever, our rights, our lives
E-mbrace our dreams, we breathe
Happy
Democracy

Love is what makes the world go round
One needs love more than they need
Vain lies, high hopes or dreams.
Each heart craves more than
Words in a vow
It wants to
Not feel
Sad.
(Infinitian)

They stand in pack of a thousand. Defenseless and speechless. Yet their silent ords are of great power as they tell the story, of their life.
If you listen closely,you;ll hear the secrets, that which they hold. They are not bound by rules or restrictions; but simply by, the way of life.
WORDS OF LOVE
Words are very important.
Open your mind and heart.
Reach out to touch someone.
Dare to encourage and motivate.
Say positive, powerful words of
Optimism to uplift spirits and pleasing,
Flattering, nice words to compliment.
Life is too short, share your love.
Offer compassion, moral support.
Vantages or opinions are kept, unless asked.
Evolve, start spreading words of love.

Some die for and some lie for but it lies in the truth,
This, which the Lord has given to me from birth.
Untouched but it's still there from youth,
It manifests within for you are my earth.
This which God has blessed me with is as precious as the skies,
For no man shall take it away from me.
At first sight of my young and tender eyes,
Is it an angel that has appeared in front of me?
As time passes it matures,
And as time continues it endures.
Lord knows no time,
For the time is a test and nothing more.
Shall it last through the sands?
Or shall it get buried as it pours,
Like an hour glass, but I shall not fret.
Visions of happiness and God's smile appear,
As it burns within my heart.
For my soul holds dear and near,
God has placed us here in this same place and this same moment.
For this love has spent an eternity inside me since my conception.
G rowing older isn't funny.
R usty pipes don't work as well.
O ver-worked mind moves much slower,
W ords won't come, my tale to tell.
I was once an active youngster,
N ot a creek was in my step.
G one the child I was forever.
O h I miss her youthful pep.
L ots of folks are proud to tell you,
D ates and birthdays don't mean much.
E ach new day brings us a sweeter
R ipeness that the young can't touch.
For Acrostic challenge
F irst God takes in His hand a ball
A universe

T o make it roll in mud

S ons of me , listen what I say
A universe is rolling
P lead faith as the reason
O f Genesis, birth of all earth and you
W ords of me all powerful
E re everything grows, words
R ead between the lines
F aith is word word faith
U nder my kingdom
L isten friends, sons, brats and beasts
T o me a cure-all globe of spirit
H eals scars of life
I in souls crying in dark abyss
N o worry
G od will take care of everything
