Best Reclaim Poems

Dreaming of gaily-colored tulips
    red's majesty, iris purple
      sunburst yellow...

  Eyes grown heavy, curtains closing
    a smile dancing on dewy lips
      envisioning a soft April's morn...

  O,...

His lover, sits and waits there by the water, singing her song.
Outstretched hands, reaching towards the horizon, wishing him home.
If only, she could raise him up, reclaim summer, from the deep.

Love is a kind of madness and, as such, 
can sometimes hoist its victims to strange heights. 
Though love may cause a fever where it bites, 
this time the troops have quelled the pending putsch. 

I ask your pardon for our magic nights, 
those rhymes...

Unconditional love I bestow him
My entire being it seems he owns
Thoughts of him engulf my mind
So why am I constantly alone?

Forgiveness for all his discretions
Stupidity apparently all mine
What seems to draw me to him?
Ah yes, love is blind.

How long will I let him forsake me?
My...

In the haze of lights, where the world blurs and you start to reclaim yourself,
Standing tall on the fragile pedestal of your own worth,
Their whispers, serpentine and insidious, slither into your thoughts,
Like brainwashed subjects, chanting their mantras of doubt.
"Where does all this self-importance come from?"...

Personally above and beyond all

I hate and despise in this world

Is misappropriation of certain

What used to be meaningful words 

Critically descriptive important essential

That have been devalued demeaned

To such a lesser degree they bare no relation

To the initial gravitas they instilled

Like when I hear the throw...

Reclaim our Destiny

(Verse 1)
Yo, it's a struggle just to survive this life,
Cost of living rising, but wages don't suffice.
Living off government funds, barely getting by,
Can't afford the rent, it's sky-high, oh my!

Real estate leeches playing God with our lives,
Profit over people, their greed never subsides.
The...

What shade of love is so divine
Pure love my dear is colorblind
We capture love in this hourglass
Each grain of love, reclaim your past...

Looking at the present state of things,
nothing is ever going to change,
and with a stubborness so definitive.
some people would rather suffer than challenge...



Reclaim your lost hope, that one which held you back,
making your accursed life as fiery as tempest; 
what tears did was drownimg you...

Oh mother

I'm coming home

To reclaim my birthstones

To answer the question as to why ?

I abandoned you in the 1st place

Face to face

Eye to eye

To appologies and make my amends 

For all my failings

Until you no longer blame yourself
for my failings

It was never your fault i...

I wish I could plug
A flash drive in your ear.
I would wipe clean the worries
Hidden deep inside there.

I know they've been hiding
In camouflaged space.
Your very own virus
firmly in place.

Spreading infection
Every which way.
Squeezing the happy
Right out of the way.

It's time to recover,
Diminish your pain.
Pick up your...

I feel the vitamin D saturating my cells
My morose mood dissipates
The longer I am in the sun 
The happier I feel

Why have I kept myself out of the sun for two days?
Will I come out earlier tomorrow?
Am I ready to be myself again?
Am I ready...

Reclaim heart’s joy, in staid silence
Our soul whispers to us
Renounce now, thought borne violence
Let not desires nonplus

God’s bliss mists pervades form
Feel this benign love storm
As His magnetism warm

Sans ego ploy 
Reclaim heart’s joy

If things have not been going the way you have dreamed,
Remember in life it’s not all how it seems,
If the waters are rough and your barley afloat,
Remember whose steering your rocky boat,
You’ll make it THROUGH to the other side,
Just sit back and enjoy your bumpy...

Caged Dreams

1.
You keep us in cages,
Thinking we are slaves,
But a day will come,
When we will escape.

2.
We look up from our cages,
Longing to be free—
As free as the birds
That soar through the skies.

3.
You think us foolish,
You think us weak,
But a day will come
When you will regret—
Regret...
