Best Perceive Poems

The many winters I had seen
When  once I was a teen
Gathered inside our small living room
Joy and simplicity our faces illume
Warm with laughter at striking stories
Light is the heart and empty of worries
My sisters and sole brother
The treasure of my father and my mother
Mum,...

Besides all that you perceive
Exists all that you believe 

Behind all your schemes
Exists all your dreams

Below all your responsibilities 
Exists all your possibilities 

Beyond all that is true
Exists all that is you...

Stress in today's world is hard to relieve.
Surrounded by what is meant to deceive.
How we view things, comes by what we perceive.
Success should be based on what we achieve.
More times than not, how much we receive.
Something we lose, we strive to retrieve.
Losing someone we love,...

Brightening the manger scene is the awesome Christmas story…
Midst technology-apps, it is illumined with varied light’s iridescence
Enlivening the glorious, blissful and jovial prevalence
Of God’s love reaching down to humanity with great victory.

Quickening to life the nativity characters is computer-driven wisdom…
Animated Joseph and Mary converse with...

Ms. Quibble was remarkably aware, although she was long blind. 
Notably, she had a sharp memory and a very clear mind. 
She had long been able to perceive beyond her eyes.
Many keen mechanisms she cleverly devised.
She routinely detected when someone entered a room.
Maybe she is...

Our mind shall perceive in color; not words
Like the light of judgment.

Our tongue is the destiny of a generation,
ignorant of redemption

Our blindness is but one man’s minor downfall
Our chair, the chair of thousands

Our fingers touch the crevices of despair
Yet we know not what love is

And...

I perceive
                    the brilliancy of the day

In my journey across the undulating life landscape,
the designated track as ordained I don’t lose,
the hazards I could circumvent and safely escape,
walk toward the final destination someone chose.

I don’t believe in what is said with dubious authority, 
the genes control the life course and the...

Your words are like riddles
Complex to understand
but there's more behind it
that not everyone sees
It's a one-sided mirror
that shows only what you play
It it good or is it bad?
that's the quest...

Aspects of art
I am the real thing..
copy I am not;
I paint ..in the here and now..
what I see..unique
as it appears to me-

form is the content
impressions..from within-
so to begin..
this secret,for free..
know how to see

To be "involved" can sound a little sly;
"Complicated" some one says and rolls his eye!
But I protest and politely ask                    
That "involved" be returned unto its...

We have a feeling
my love and I
that it's time to leave.
It is the passing
of an earlier time
for which we grieve.

Then, right was right,
hope was bright,
and civility was ever in sight.
We were free our minds to speak
no need for games of hide and seek
or to be...

Long time ago many animated entities welcomed 
Me as a victor but my freedom did not accompany me,
That day I saw many liberated leaves of a tree  
With joviality glided in the wind, that day
A kite I released from my hand 
Up in the...

In the dawn of deception, who can perceive what is real?
Do things appear benevolent or do they come to pillage and steal?
When one gives from the heart, the receiver sometimes wants even more.
It is often wise to bolt, lock and secure your door.

Be careful of...
