Best Persist Poems

I persist in crediting....
That breastfeeding hatred and animosity
Could barely occasion war atrocity
Demolish houses and blameless lives reap
Petrify crestfallen minds and infants' poignant grief

That airplanes,tanks and other war toys
Could ravage,destroy and only thieve joys
Annihilate life and identities liquidate
Amplify aghast mortals and not emancipate

That peace stirring words...

In the shadowed corridors of the mind, where echoes of forgotten dreams persist,
People dance through life, weaving patterns of absurdity to avoid the abyss within,
Avoiding the cold mirror of the soul, where truth waits, silent and unyielding,
For it is not in imagining figures of light...

I have become so weak now, 
that the only strength I stand with,
is the strength of my attachment.
The attachment of my improbable love.

I now know, how I could not return, 
from the depth of immense rain,
of love so deep.
So hard to deceive.

My heart still awakens,...

truthful and sincere
in right direction steer
honesty appear

a real earth shaker
they expelled two lawmakers
by fools and fakers

when they were expelled
bigots heads had been all swelled
cause trouble compelled

bigots and racists
have been part of a long list
will exist and persist

want to be knowing
when faces will be glowing

I Pray and Persist

Saw so many trees
That to me always will please
Along with cool breeze.

What I always like
About liberty is when it
Does not end or quit.

Wind is East or West
North or South which may be best
By them all are blessed.

When bells are ringing
Church choir has...

Be Strong and Courageous
Says the Grand-Master
The Harvest is Plenteous
The Fields are Wide
Your Possibilities Are Endless

Be Strong and Courageous
I know you’re so sure of yourself
I know your Dreams are so Real to you
Likewise, real is the Messenger of Misery

You don’t have to be Pessimist
But be ye...

Dreams don't always come true
and that I have to accept.
But you were so much better 
than all the rest.
You always cared 
and you always loved.
You were always there
when push came to shove.
I wanted so badly 
to have you near.
But it's someone else
who you hold dear.

Hate Crimes Exist

We must admit that hate crimes do exist; 
Are always there and continue to persist; 
Others harming, 
Never charming, 
And we should cause to cease and desist.

My face is a cracked line that floats
       between flurry and decline
       squeezed open by promises unkept
                ...

Please persist
With poetry,
Though you stand accused
Of wasting precious time
On the silly art of rhyme.

You have a task,
You poets.
Of re-presenting life,
The essence to attain
Thus making real again.

You live for others,
Via poetry.
Watching with all senses,
Hearing with emotions
And feeling through expressions.

You forge a link,
Through poems.
With lilting turn of...

Lofty ambitions are not for the weak 

A true test in pursuit of what we seek 

Expect the unexpected when you dream

Wanting and needing…not what they seem

If they could align in moments of naïve wit

Don’t wish for something…work for it!

on table pounded fist
with her efforts must persist
added name to list

Friend is an expert et al.
Wrote this mentioned

For You, I Persist

Nothing keeps me from you..
Besides perhaps 5142 miles
And a string of moments quietly ticking away in my clock. 
For you, I persist. 

Soon, the space between us will cease and we will be one. And an ocean of yearning and imagining and...
