Best Prevail Poems
Et Portæ Inferi Non Valebit
(And the gates of hell will not prevail)
Gates of Hell shall never ever prevail
promulgation of Truth forever stands.
Soul and Spirit each rings a sounding bell
Fate's ruthless results judges all the lands.
Vanities of all men foolishly praised
Spirit's dark desires bearing bitter fruit.
Rejection of He that was truly raised
lies and corruption are the stolen loot.
Righteous hearts look to Heavenly skies
sincere prayers, deliver such bless reward.
Mankind races onward using blinded eyes
to an ending very bitter and hard.
In the dark shadow of this evil world.
Our Creator's redemption has been hurled!

Let peace prevail in our country soon........
When we lost hope for the freedom and peace
there is much more tears shed in our country
When all those innocent people lost faith in their leaders
there is no hope for the bright future in our country
When all those priests become politically motivated culprits
then the people lost faith in our worship places.
When all those handful of leaders make ocean of wealth
by squeezing their poor masses blood
When all those saints sit under the temple
trees and meditate fake for sins for the peace
how could the light of Asia "Lord Buddha's "
teaching of dharma will help us to find peace in our country
Freedom doesn't mean that we can do anything that we want
but do right thing at right time to build up a peaceful nation
How many steps we walk closer towards peace and freedom
but till it will remain an endless journey to find it
Let no more war and violence prevail in our country
Oh God, let peace and freedom prevail in our country soon.

1) MENTAL STORMS
I am not a poet
I have never claim to be
I only write down my feelings
Because it helps me mentally
It was kept a secret for years
never for others to see
A personal world
Where I keep my memory's
Focusing so hard
It's like I'm eating them on TV
dealing with the loss of a love one
Can come in all shapes and all forms
I just personally found writing to be
The way
That helps tackle my personal mental storms
You see when the storm peaks full force
it's has no remorse
It transfers lightning bolts of pain shattering strain electrifying the vains as it travels besides the bloods course
Then the pain inflames the brain
as it test the human frame
to see if you can regain
the inner strength to remain
strong enough to maintain
as you cope with the constant strain of handling one of life's cruelest games
So I don't care if my English is not the correct grammar
That really isn't my concern
The fact is I'm actually thick as when it comes to understanding all the proper punctuational terms
I don't write down my feeling for anyone to grade
I don't write them down for attention or praise
I don't care for the spelling mistakes or the ink stained tears that phase the page
Cause when I'm writing
half the time my hand barley keeps up pace
Often the tears flow blocking my vision as I scribble down words like an emotional race
But like any storm
They always pass through
Some are worse then others
But eventually the sky returns blue
As the sun comes out from behind its covers
So as the wind howls hard
the rain beaut down
It's a case of if you want to survive the mental storm
Or admit defeat and drown in your frown
William light
AIM to PREVAIL
Soar like the eagle, swim like a whale.
Stand strong as "The Liberty": aim to prevail!

A pair of star crossed lovers share shadows in the night,
for no matter the storms unveiled, love shall be our light,
sacrifices and dramatic scenes causing a feuding fight,
for in the end it doesn’t matter who is wrong or right.
“I share my love with you, my sweet darling so true,
and I shall die with my last breath weeping on you…
our love so exceptional, hidden secrets must be silenced,
true love must prevail, without quarrel or violence…”
A time for us will arrive without the fear of dying,
come my love, let my tenderness save you from crying,
love with tears and thorns are overcome with trying,
while dreams are spent living instead of denying.
“I share my love with you, my sweet darling so true,
and I shall die with my last breath weeping on you…
our love so exceptional, hidden secrets must be silenced,
true love must prevail, without quarrel or violence…”
A time for us will arrive in a future we long to see,
let us breathe as one not two, and arrive with destiny,
for death cannot separate a love given so true and free,
in a world of shining hope for only you and me.
Poem written from the song: "A Time For Us" by Andy Williams
Based on the true romance of Romeo & Juliet

Why must we have a down day now and then
Are there new rules I'm not aware of
Basically I'm upbeat as I'm sure you all know
But today came crashing down with a thud
Sure we're all bitten by the sad bug at times
It's a big part of this thing we call life
It provides a balance, allowing us to compare
Too much of either, we pay the price
When we finally get it, how this thing works
Gives a feeling of contentment and ease
Opening up our minds with waves of compassion
Instead of constant conflicts across seas
To my way of thinking, it isn't rocket science
Why must there always be conflicts
Probably written on a huge tablet somewhere
Must be forced to follow some new edict
Countries of the world must sign a proclamation
To curb all incursions and aggression
Word “freedom” must prevail throughout the world
We must strive to eliminate oppression
For centuries the world has been fighting battles
It is totally incomprehensible to me
Intelligent, peace loving peoples have been trying
For centuries and we still can't agree
When I'm dead and gone, hope a time in the future
Peace will finally be achieved
Now if I was a betting man, I'd most likely lose
Who really knows, wonders never cease

Let peace prevail in this world.......
When you look for peace
then the peace lies within you
When you search for peace
then it is not hard to find
When you want to keep peace alive
then you allow white doves to fly over you
When you make peace with others
then the whole world live in your heart
When you let peace be in the world
then you live in wonderful world
When you allow peace flow around the world
then your hatredness will go and love will flow
When you open the door for peace
then peace welcome to your lives.
Let the peace prevail in our wonderful world

Prevail In Prayer
26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.” Rom 8:26-27 NIV
Each day consider the time
To Prevail In Prayer.
Ask for the Holy Spirit;
Your power to be near.
Prayer is very powerful
And provides protection.
Gives you comfort in sorrow;
Stress’s peace of correction.
Prevail in Prayer continually,
For that’s how Christ lived on earth.
Prayers are so important
To provide one’s life with worth.
Talking to our Savior
Should become a habit every day.
Make this your special appointment;
Reach out to your Lord and pray.
Prayer is our connection
To heaven’s courts above.
Our connection to God’s power
And His amazing love.
Ask God to see you
Safely through each day and night.
Thank Him for His blessings;
Praise Him with faith’s delight.
Prayer lifts up the standard
Against the enemy that roars.
Prevail In Prayer daily—
Let your Spirit heavenward soar.
Prayer is your hedge of protection
Against all evil here.
Hold prayer as a privilege—
Always Prevail In Prayer.
Prayer of intercession
Is a ministry for all;
Prevail In Prayer daily
On our Master always call.
Never neglect your prayer life
For it’s the essence of your soul.
Ask God to help you,
Prevail In Prayer the goal!

Justice Will Always Prevail
Troubled minds hear ephemeral voices invoke thunder lightning and brimstone
Arms and faces lifted skyward world leaders chant prayers of promise to atone
Burning desires layered with jeweled expectations lay shattered on the ground
Memories of a dying tree adhering to roots of seeds breathing without a sound
Dramatic persuasion enshrouds fraudulent demonstration alluring deviant cults
Solemnly bemused and humiliated clown transmogrified with obnoxious results
Degenerate rulers cast spells on disheartened souls and vulnerable immigrants
Heartless transgressions on fearful innocents intensify enflamed primeval rants
Magi crying oceans of tears greatly agonized by crucifixion a visionary revealed
Wounds agape under a bloody cloth a facial expression of triumph unconcealed
Forlorn mother of a son in search of peace navigates an unforgiving killing field
Securely entrenched within is an impregnable fortress a flaming spiritual shield
Transitory moments celebrating unexplained manifestation of time everywhere
Dark matter shines behind the face of nothingness inside dynamic atmosphere
Beneath the zenith leaping ballerina enchant an ebbing tide to liberate a whale
Yesterday today and tomorrow foreshadow universal justice will always prevail

Radiance Of The Seas
Your Teddy bear's call will prevail,
No matter how many times it fails,
One million attempts of peace treaties,
But you're still keeping on and on,
Just go...Joy go,
And show the world that you're still brave,
And firm,
I've just started learning from you,
Your creed and perm,
How to confront artificial storms,
And how to prevent armoured vehicles from passing,
With your soft fluffy chest,
And your bear's,
I've just started memorising your peaceful wording song,
And creed...
No fear,
No tear,
No cry,
No agony,
No torments,
Only a simple smile oh! Boy..
No dark,
No bark,
No marks,
On your innocent baby face
Only a red attracting lipsy decoy,
No face,
No pace,
No place for an aggressive spirit,
Only this little bear,
This lovely toy.
Your teddy bear will prevail,
No matter how many times it fails,
No matter how long it takes,
No matter how treacherous,
This worldly life fakes.
I will help you,
I will fix you,
I will do the impossible,
For you and your cute bear,
To enjoy,
A minute of peace will suffice for him and you,
Even a second of this will be enough for both of you,
To dance and shout under the rain,
To dance and swing your fractured hips,
And challenge the artificial rainbow and bullets,
Shout with me and do care,
Shout with me and be fair with your bear,
And yourself,
No more war,
No more bore,
No fighting,
Only a peaceful soul enlightening,
Searching and seeking happiness,
To employ,
This philosophy of Peace,
This philosophy that we are still waiting,
And struggling for.
eye lashes blink
tickle your soft lips
smiles prevail
Haiku your way contest
(To be sung to the tune of “Angels We Have Heard On High”)
Joyous Christmas does prevail
Saviour's grace never to fail
His love gift brings peace to heart
Pardon never to depart…
Joy---ous Christmas, Saviour’s grace never fails
Joy---ous Christmas, Saviour’s grace never fails.
Triumph of sweet kindness cheers
Lifting faith along hope gears
Emmanuel's presence with delight
Shining radiance of God’s light…
Joy---ous Christmas, Emmanuel’s presence
Joy---ous Christmas, Emmanuel’s presence.
Christmas spirit reigns always
Saviour's birth* of glorious praise
Life eternal, promise blest
Set toward heavenly zest…
Joy---ous Christmas, Saviour's birth so glorious
Joy---ous Christmas, Saviour's birth so glorious.
Days of blissful fellowship
Midst wondrous grateful worship
Let’s keep sharing Christmas glow
Kindness to others we show…
Joy---ous Christmas, love and kindness we share
Joy---ous Christmas, love and kindness we share.
*Luke 1:14 And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his (Jesus Christ’s) birth.

2nd place, "A Christmas Carol" Lyric Poetry Writing Premiere Contest

I'm wide awake, listening to the roar.
My musings become a glowing rainbow.
I lie pique designing vile dreams offshore.
I dream of an ominous sky shadow
Away from the ad nauseam skid row.
As political cases broach their peak.
To load airwaves with the rowdy prevail
Irritating and feeble header seek
While I slept, I grasped the heaven exhale
Moans were roundly rejected by the meek

No one repented for what they did to you.
You've been unhappy since that day.
As you're well aware, this is a major outdo.
Extricate yourself and admit their reply anyway.
They stranded, estimating you'll fall down.
This claimed partner just pawed you as prey.
Still, hate and gall won't let you go around.
Allow yourself to wane and accept him anyway.
You feel ashamed when you look in the mirror.
You estimate your errors, nearly every day.
The pathway of living will indeed be clearer.
Even if you don't cause the fractures anyway.
