Best Pathway Poems


Premium Member Pathway To Love

As I sit watching fusions of saffron and scarlet hues 
elegantly charm the horizons.
Silently, fluffy lush clouds float by
like a magnetic field drawing me closer,
in hope they may lead me to you.

So I ponder
maybe love is like the sunrise
so many see it - yet so few feel it.

Just the thought of my beloved,
leads to these poetic fingers bleeding.
As they drown in an abundance of words,
that can only be soothed by her luscious lips.
For these sentimental eyes yearn
to caress her tender skin.

So, I set upon the path to discover,
if it shall lead to the realms of my lover.
A path that I have once trodden upon before,
but the soul demands to travel upon it once more.
After all I'm only human,
the love she planted in my heart still remains
and how can I love another,
when the heart refuses to give permission.

Time has kept us apart.

I float to her like a butterfly,
and shall float until I reach her province.
For this not just an infatuated sensation,
you may hear in a fairy tale or sung in a lullaby.
Her love is the only sensation of infatuation,
as she holds the formula to my alchemist heart.

I know I can't simply take her heart,
it can only be given to one.
But without her the world is cold,
and I live for the day she will wrap me up 
inside her heart and never let me leave.

For the love she gave, is still the only one I crave.
I long to walk together amongst bluebells and ambrosial roses,
roaming through an oasis of enchanted blossoms.
Her arms will become my sanctuary.
To create a masterpiece of serenity,
to achieve an eternal state of tranquillity.

I hope before first site of twilight,
her perfect vision brings justice to this write.
In a world full of expectations,
I may lose the passion to exist.
Just one beautiful gesture,
will help me to remember how to smile. 

For, I know her radiant eyes will provide clarity,
the warmth of her kiss will be my remedy.

Premium Member The Pathway I Will Lay For You

The pathway I will lay for you
with seeds that I will scatter round
will soon have blooms come into view
so you can tread on fragrant ground
and feel your spirit fill with song
when we can meet among the blue
of blooms that will have sprung along
the pathway I will lay for you!

Premium Member The Pathway To Heaven

Life is merely a stepping stone on the path toward heaven – Quote by Author


Teardrops
He colors like rain
As they fall
Softening the flames
Of sorrows
Who echo the pain

Stars
He numbers
Naming them all
As we slumber
Revealing a heart
Full of emotion
And wonder

Seasons
Each one in place
Revelations
Of earth’s embrace
Soaring over land
And through space

Laughter
He lifts to the heavens
Like halos
On angels who beckon
With joy
From the flow
Of His serenity

Butterflies
Vibrant and floating
On wings
Meant for exploring
Glowing in hues
Animation knowing
His brilliance
The light that he pours
Across humanity
Through hearts who know Him

A breath of hope
Falls over the children
Who play together
Kissed by kind faith
Loving like the One
Who guides prayers
And praise
Colors us all
In hues of sweet grace

Tenderness
Brightens the way
Of compassion
Feelings in waves
Penetrating
Awakening beliefs
Needs, expressions
Of giving, generosity
Living together
As the children of God

Creativity 
Lingers on the mind
Who knows
God’s way and His timing
Are perfect
Perfectly fine
Flawless and faultless
Precisely precise

Know Him
And Know life
Is more than a blessing
It is the pathway
To heaven


Premium Member Tucked Away In a Forest

Tucked away in a forest, where treetops did sway
Lived a family pondering why they felt this way,
A miracle was to happen, which was certain to heal,
And their faith to God, was a joy to reveal.

The forest was giving, they lived off the land,	,
Each member of the family, lending a hand
Dad a carpenter, crafted a variety of toys,
Mother sewed outfits for the girls and the boys.

Dad went out in the snow and spotted a tree,
He heard it whisper, please choose and take me,
A bright star shone brightly, and there it did stay,
Angels opening a pathway to the babe in the hay.

Stony Staircase

Walk out to ocean, this stony pathway,
Folk story declare, twas a snakes byway.
Climbed from sea, wormed onto the hidden cave,
Men explored and commune, the knowledge crave,
This legend lives on, even to this day!

Along the horizon, dawn caught away,
Rides in with glory, it's mystic gateway.
Morning shines hope on, the soul of each brave,
Walk out to ocean.

Mist rises, the ocean hides the door way,
Relish the cold evening, welcome skies grey,
The lava flow stairway, the surf well lave,
Presents a view, foretell of gifts we save.
The moon radiates rich, dream day can't stay,
Walk out to ocean!

Premium Member Dark Pathway

The Heart of LOVE enveloped YOU and  --   I
In the course of EVERLASTING LOVE I   --   Failed
My minute blacken heart would not let you -  In
Looking back through time I do see a Pure  -- Life
The watches, Grandfather clocks of  Time  --    Running
Oblivious to the feeling of pain from  Falling   --  Down
Stumble over nothing along midnight Black    --   Paths
Following an unseen grotesque horned being   --   Leading
My uncleansed Soul across my Death’s river    --   Toward 
An Eternal Damnation living in a blazing Hot    ---    Hell

Merry Christmas To All That We Hold So Dear

Ho ho ho another season of fun and good cheer
Merry Christmas to all that we hold so dear
Remembrance of Jesus who is always near
Taking the darkness out of all that we fear
Bringing light to the stars all through the night

Confessing our sins keeping him in sight
Through Jesus, it all feels so right
Oh how he makes our year wonderfully bright
Showing us compassionate love 
From God our father up above

Guiding us on our spiritual pathway
Until our final judgment day
When our souls take flight
Ascending to heaven on the wings of a kite
Jesus returning to set Satan right

Bringing peace for a thousand years
Believing in Jesus who is always here
Making it possible to live without fear
Blessing our Christmas and a Happy New Year

Premium Member EXPLORING NATURE

Exploring nature what do I see?
your beauty looking back at me. 
What a pretty bird and bee.
The wind softy blows,
kissing the rose. 
Peace by my side, 
your pathway is my guide.

Premium Member On the Pathway

An aura of ease I carry with me.
A river, I’m rolling, just rolling along.
I move with an adaptability.
An aura of ease I carry with me.
Close to the ground, yet with fluidity,
and my heart often swells with glad song.
An aura of ease I carry with me;
a river, I’m rolling, just rolling along.

I’ll move with that naturalness called ease
on the pathway to my final sea.
Should waves arise from an extra strong breeze;
I’ll move with that naturalness called ease!
When I see sky blaze a last time cerise
and feel eternity beckoning me,
I’ll move with that naturalness called ease
on the pathway to my final sea.

Angels In Our Pathway

I look deeply into The Children's Eye's
 
The War;Hatred and devastation,Why???  
I see it upon the faces of The Elderly Deaths.
The Wisdom We buried as They take Their last Breath.
I have sat with The Forgotten Mentally Ill as I start...
I still See The Promise in Their Souls beyond A concerned Heart.
The Belief with-in Our Hearts:To Heal and cure Our Wills.
I've been to See The Cripple Veterans of Our Wars...
They fought to Preserve Our Lives,Our Dreams,and Protect Our Shores.
I have been risen by fables,literature,and bed time stories.
I have loved The Weak and The Meek risen by Their hard work and Glory.
I have seen PAIN;Buried People and Children that died in Flames...
I know They Are ANGELS walking now in A Kingdom of Heaven domain.
I've had Friends murdered by the fate of Their Own Hands;Anger and Rage...
             
              The Truth pours,As I soak Ink to This very New Page:
               For Today blood spills still; My Concerned Thought of The Day!
               Peace On Earth seems so distant;just like a small microwave ray.
               The Labors and Fruits of Our Principles Fallen from straight Above.
               As though Hope walks into Faith lead By LOVE.
 
It is definitely A Prayer of mine In Completion;Open All Books of Every Season...
For The Spice of Life is inside You;All Angels In Our Pathways For very strong 
                                          REASONS!!!

Premium Member Our Excursion Is a Pathway

Our excursion is a pathway we must follow 
in the journey of life beyond this universe. 
Love is that eternal emotion we all seek. 

Poetry is the sweet music—light or dark,
that is bound from the union of our hearts. 
Without poetry our minds are a whirlpool. 

Disoriented and lost without song and sense 
there is a unique understanding with delight 
that moves us toward the direction of words. 

Believing in our mortal life existing on Earth: 
A true proclamation of faith holding strong 
with a power and purpose beyond our grasp.

Eternity embraces our eternal existence and 
in every daily aspect of our lives and our souls, 
light holds the final godly power over darkness.

Pathway To Heaven

pathway to heaven
swinging near eternity
pure souls might enter

A Lily Standing On the Pathway Between March and April

The sun peeks his face out from the passing wind 
still chilly and cold, and in this air the tree branches 
stretch their arms to hold the sun as if sails on the deep and gray sky

The sun that is out of reach of a hand 
may be a hope; no, it ought to be a hope

One night I saw a wayfarer, becoming a moonbeam,
going toward April stepping on the footmarks March 
has left behind 

Although he has gone through so many hills and high waters 
with a knapsack on his back that was full with the countless 
sentiments he put in it for pity’s sake, the sack was emptied;
  
for the lapse of time makes things wear and tear
his garment was worn to rags, and when the wind 
passes through it penetrates the garment to chill the bone 

The deep anxiety he is unable to shake off, and therefore, 
reflected on the running water murmuring through the field 
as ripples of moonbeam, which is not from the fleeting of time 
or his sufferings while he was walking among the foes, but because 
he is sorry for and worries about friends he has to leave behind 

The friends, not many in number shared his happiness 
at the time of banqueting, surrounding the table though 
plain and simple, abundance in God; 

at the time counting the falling stars lying on a stone pillow 
by the gap between rocks. The friends, not in damnation but 
in endurance and warmhearted understanding, talked about better day to come while burning the passions in the bone fire on a day when they were wet and shivering in early spring drizzle

For the days he was with his friends were too short,
it caused him an embarrassment in counting the days,
yet they were unforgettable moments of joyous and happy experiences

As he walked through the field with friends he talked about tomorrow
standing on the hill top side by side, he asked them to pray for him, 
sitting on the sands by the water he sighed for he has to leave 
the friends, the sweet and bitter memories behind

Nonetheless, he cannot just stand by a roadside as an emotionless stone, 
he crosses the hill under the shade of a waning moon, and when 
the humble hearted teary-eyed wanderer blooms as a lily on the other side of 
the hill in dawning, the sunray fall on the lily on the dew
as hope to those who remember him, as happiness to the friends 
he left behind, as the covenant of the Lord to all who trust in him

Premium Member Pathway To My Dreams

When the light from the setting sun
Makes a shining path on the sea,
Am I the only one who can see it?
Is this path solely meant for me?
Is it a pathway to my dreams?
Do I dare follow it to see?
