Best Peaceably Poems

Just you and me, cogitating intently, placidly,
Contemplating peaceably, balance of being,
Listening to birdsongs jubilantly serenading 
Tranquility luxuriating upon hills and valleys
Where bees on blossoms propagate symbiosis
Amid euphonic winds soothing glint evening
Caressing buoyancy on ebb and flow of tides
When, upon golden arc, sunbeams subside 
Scintillating leisurely...

Winter approached 

in hours of finality, 

quelled midst midnight's 

imperfectly lit enticement 

of darkly notable

impressive spirits, 

motioning a welcomed 

goodbye gesture, 

laying to rest 

a chilled salutation, 

as ghostly ambitions 

commenced to play 

a well articulated

empowering seduction, 

chasing lullaby's softly

dreamt enchantment, 

sleeping peaceably

unfurled beyond

destined reawakening,...

Lord, help me be who you made me to be,
To be true to myself as well as to others
Help me see the value of every individual,
To live peaceably with sisters and brothers.
Lord, may I be a light to those in darkness
Shining out, a witness to...

Who said my role model had to be black;
Who said she'd have to be like this or this is the way she should act.
Who put it in my head that my role model would have no faults;
Or that she should be put on a pedestal.....she...

MOUNTAIN GORILLA


            Gentle giant of the great apes

Prevarication permits pretend perception, presenting
piquantly piqued, pimply pimping playboy, plucky
pulchritudinous previously pusillanimous, prevalently
puckish, psychic packman, pokemon playing proletarian

puppeteer pygmy, peevishly punky, plummy, plumy,
pompously pushy, pampered, prefabricated pinchbeck,
pokily plying plowshear, plodding peregrination, pied
piper pitifully peppy pornographic potato pealing,

parsimonious paradoxical protagonist, proposing
preposterous panicky pacification plots, prioritization

   so many roads i've traveled
so many years i've roamed

ever find himself a home
 
  i've lived my life so peaceably
no one have i harmed

TWICE UPON A TIME 

two things clicked. A severed 
evening parachuting down 
on a hillock where a palace 
hovered about. And coming 
to terms with a cool perspective. 

Kuchipudi there was. And Payal 
to perform. Dispelling detachments. 
And dithering in acceptance. I was
being answered in...

Thinking about tattooing
"noitatneserP erocnE"
across my back.  
Install mirrors on the 
bedroom ceiling
so she sees it spelled 
correctly as I pray for her
only stopping when
Hallelujah reverberates 
down our halls.
Think I'll remove my filter
Let her see my censorship
Picturing a blurred spot
below my abdomen
intermix it with bleeps
followed...

I’m flatter by the system it’s not corporate it just ain’t witness

If every answer came out of the air or thin hair we could do what Moses did and part

The sea

Thoughts that come and thought  that play around on time line

I never lost faith...

 THEY CALL ME NELSON
 
No man can keep the spirit contained 

He herded sheep when they 

called him by name (Rolihlahla)
 
His teacher gave him a new name now

"they call me Nelson"
 
His journey was long. 

I had...

It was suggested that I plan my
Own funeral
The entities living on me
In me
Have ensured that I will not last forever

I lived quietly among my family for eons
Uninhabited
But never lonely

Then the entities came
Looking for virgin land
Wild and free
With no history
- as far as they were concerned

They...

A worthless worm…writhing in wretchedness
Hell-bound creature because of iniquities
That was I: doomed to everlasting torment
Condemned to suffer forever…
Yet, God Almighty with His grace and compassion 
Reached down to me wondrously…
…He lifted me up from sins’ quagmire
Transforming my life miraculously;
Now, like a butterfly, peaceably beauteous
I’m freely...

 A sense of belonging 
Is amongst your nobility
Peaceably, truly longing
To give praise to You entirely

Take me all the way with your sway of youth
Give me physical poetry, please, beyond the truth
You are more priceless than pennies from heaven
You make me feel like seven times...
