Best Provable Poems


Only the Word Remains

Memory fades like an old photograph
Primary colors bleaching out to brown
sharp edges melt like the sound of a laugh
lost in a sea velvet fog flowing down
round distant echoes of a pilgrim’s staff 
submerged in the deep, still, silence to drown
in solitude. Only the word remains
to pass on the truth in mustard seed grains  

Inspiring faith in life beyond the grave
propounding an irrational thesis
not provable but with power to save
through prayer defying analysis.
The everlasting word a Man once gave
to us before his metamorphosis
made it manifest in all its glory 
truth to tell a magnificent story

Premium Member Reality, Wow What a Concept

Reality, wow what a concept
lifes provable facts
those incontrovertible truths
things that stick out and not fall in the cracks

Its subject to interpretation you see
describing the elephant for the blind
this part the leg,
that a tail, this part a trunk!! Divine!

For reality takes an observer
to set itself in the track
if that tree fell in the woods with no one to hear
did it make a sound of a crack?

Without perception it's all contention
if it ever existed at all
and we are all running around with vivid imaginations on ground
till incontrovertible evidence is found

See it, touch it, document away
till the item in question is in decay
or maybe even obliterated away
the observation itself causing the obliteration to stay

And so that was how faith was born
for people to believe in others known truths
we didn't have to experience it first hand
we just had to trust like a youth

And from that comes charlatans 
who mangle that truth for cash
and make the world a caricature
and history rewritten despite past

With no firm understanding of what is
or firm understanding of what was
people lose their compass
and look to god above

Reality, wow what a concept. - Artimus  (C) 10/11/2023 Susan Manley

Premium Member The Power of the Positive

The joy that other people possess
Is well within our reach
We're all made up of similar stuff
I'm sure you've heard this speech

Well my friends, in my experience
It's a true and a provable fact
The more you look on the bright side
The more positive people react

They observe your sunny outlook
Wish they could feel that way too
It doesn't take much effort
Positive thinking rubs off on you

Picture all that's right with the world
Of the things that you possess
Don't concentrate on the negatives
That will only cause you stress

Happiness is quite an infectious thing
Belt out an old good times song
Sooner or later believe me, folks
People will start singing along

It's really the power of positive thinking
Happy always wins in the end
It's a human thing, we're born to laugh
So chuckle yourself silly, my friends

Premium Member Born With a Soul

Some remain skeptical that a soul exists.
And yet, I know there is a part of me
that believes it does.
There is a spot in my heart of hearts
that God miraculously designed,
to accommodate a soul.
I can't explain it scientifically,
for my mind and heart don't always see eye-to-eye.
Thus, it took more than a leap of faith to convince me;
I needed to feel deep inside that I possess a soul.
And despite my initial cynicism, I can't deny that I do.
It may not be realistic or provable:
but that doesn't make it any less possible!
Think of it as a shadow, invisible in the darkness of reality.
Nonetheless, it is there;
linking intangible hopes
to the realm of possible, and the fringes of probable.
I have accepted what I feel
to be innately true.
Human beings are born with a soul.

accommodation "FAKE"

accreditation, averse Hispanic
refugee acculturation, he blithely
asseverates, viz faux (trumped up)
accumulation unfairly fingering
accusation (baseless bigotry)

scapegoating fifty plus shades
brown illegal aliens despite
provable residency status
conveniently citing himself
perforce repetition validates

accustomation touts "FAKE"
non hardy laurels spilt, spelt,

ruination unleashing acetylation
promoting political acidulation

SCOTUS acrimonious activation

Crimes of the Future

If one could only predict
How future crimes would be,
We'd all be totally amazed
For no evidence we would see.

People would use more caution
Examine all foods they eat,
Death would become even easier
With new technology nothing would repeat.

No more provable murders then
Gun's and knives all gone too,
Pure cleverness take's their place
Undected pipe bombs kill you.

No longer enough officer's
Criminals leaving no trails,
There's panic everywhere now
People keep looking for details.

The bright days forever gone
Left are glomy dark days,
The future crimes await us
Time where everyone soon pays.

No Chorus

3/13/15

To many my words were gloomy
But it was absolutely groovy
As I continued to speak truly
Whether or not it was seen as spooky

They said I needed a chorus
And help from the thesaurus
Or else it would effect my performance

But I wanted to paint my own portraits
With a style that was different from anyone before this
Considering how life is gorgeous
While traveling through enormous gorges
On the outskirts of the forests

As a young grasshopper
I poured out some beer from a can of lager
For my grandfather
Even though others continued causing manslaughter
Despite all the possibilities that this land offers
There are still places with bad water
And far too many damn squatters

It's fairly suitable 
To maintain relationships that are mutual
While pursuing energy sources that are renewable

Don't you dare be delusional
And speak to me about what is unconstitutional
Because that is inexcusable

Especially if you want to talk about the crucible
As if it is provable
I just look at you like you're unusual
But pay very little attention because this place is far too beautiful

Part 2 of Earth Treading Stars 1

Earth Treading Stars,
If the eye is a window to the soul, then, the heart is the doorway to love.
Love is two souls intertwined and kindred in such a way you cannot find their meeting place, nor can you tear it apart. It is one embodiment of pure pleasure and pain, joy and sorrow.
As the joy stars provable above when cupid’s arrow bows inhibitions to love.
Doubt the stars are fire, doubt the sun moves, doubt truth to be a liar but never doubt that I love you.
True love can blind you but at the same time if you let it, it can also open your eyes.
I have never seen so clearly then when I look in your eyes.
An eternity can’t count the times I’ve thought about you
And is not near enough time to love you.
It may not have been at first sight
But at second look I knew it was only right.




Earth Treading Stars,
True love is not how you forgive, but how you forget, not what you see but what you feel, not how you listen but how you understand, and not how you let go but how you hold on.
I plan to hold on tell you let go and I will let go as long as you know,
Though you might not wait,
And even if it’s to late,
Trough out destiny and time in the hands of fate,
 I can’t love you for the rest of your life,
But I will love you for the rest of mine.

Premium Member Water and Earth

Emotional is Water, for like its tides,
it’s moving constantly from high to low.
Like people on those roller coaster rides,
waves rise up very high and then they go
crashing down, but with Earth, it’s not the same,
for Earth is mostly stable – immovable,
but Earth, when meeting Water, has a name.
That name is Mud! It’s highly provable.
Imagine Earth, unruffled and so calm
meets moody Water, pelting it as Rain.
Earth does not retaliate. Drop a bomb?
No, it takes IN Water, for Earth is sane.
When Earth and Water marry, they but need
the warmth of Sun; then they can grow a seed!

Provable Fact

What good are politicians, if only to 
divide, both see the single truth and
from the people its something they 
want hide. What good is a democracy if 
the people don't work together. What 
good are people if they don't love
each other?

This world is passing away with every new 
day, things are changing toward a way.
 there must come a answer in due time. As the 
revolution starts to invade the human mind.

The people seem confused but that's not really
true, it's coming from the politicians that don't 
do the jobs they should do.  

What good is it to have a system that doesn't
work for truth. What good is a system where
 lies are allowed to simply run loose. Some 
have made life complicated and confusing to
 most. But the truth is so very simple. If love
 and kindness is the host.

See there are only two forces in the world, evil 
and good. both are clear as iron and wood. A 
mistake can not be made even if it could. 
Truth is just as simple, and as easy as that. Because
 the one thing about truth, is it has to be a
