Best Reimburse Poems
Atmospheric grayscale mirrors my mood
where rainbow pastels are loath to intrude,
monochrome perverse looms ‘cross universe -
black powder train, mind is gun barrel gray
cold dispassionate muzzle of dismay.
My happiness; my death will reimburse -
lifeblood bleeds an anemic attitude.

Many are the 'characters' I met while serving my nation.
Seems there's always one who stands out in every organization!
In Bermuda (where I fought the Korean War) was such a cuss.
He was my bunkmate and he went by the name of Gus!
Gus was the old man of the outfit, a staff sergeant as I recall.
He'd been up and down the ranks and boozing caused his fall!
Never to be promoted beyond 'staff'', he was happy with his lot.
Gus floated on cloud nine as long as he had his daily tot!
Near payday, funds depleted, out of booze, in a nervous funk,
He'd surreptitiously place this beseechng note upon my bunk:
"My boy, may I propose for your benevolent consideration,
A temporary loan for relief from my dire financial situation?"
Now, how could I deny his plea phrased in such flowing verse!
Besides, on payday, he'd promptly seek me out to reimburse!
On paydays, Gus and his pals were wont to go on a spree!
He'd relieve his bloated bladder nigh any convenient tree,
Proclaming, "Wherever you may be let your water flow free!"
(For some reason the local constables happened to disagree!)
Gus was a good man and I enjoyed our comradely association,
Despite his innate proclivity for intemperate intoxication!

Perish the thought
For I can see
The loneliness in me
Silence to my mind
Has brought
A longing to be free
Free from danger
Free from trust
Free from things I feel
Emancipate my soul
And banish all things real
Perish thoughts that torment me
And grind them down to dust
Redefine my tangled mind
And gather what I must
Gather feeling
Gather need
Gather all things real
Reimburse my empty heart
And allow my soul to heal
after marriage she's happy
nothing was there to be unhappy
they wanted a child so went to a doctor
but by losing smile returned sadly
extreme invisible heart pain
passes through her bloody vein
no one hears her inner voice
suffers from unkindness disdain
she's lonely friend of herself now
in biting silence suffers woe
for this reason she's divorced
tear drops her husband sowed
a sweet home she's lost
love always not reimburse cost
only fault she had in life
for infertility she had no child
at end she became invisible
ended life of all horrible
her nothing then no one seen
now enjoys she her eternity's peace

Note: In our family life we see many women are badly tortured for having no child birth and husband divorces and get married again. In such life's situation what an woman faces invisible pain which other family members don't feel and the lovely hubby burns out the love of her heart. What a tragic things happen in our so called civilized societies, it's shame. One of the practical facts is penned in this poem.
FREE LUNCH
Poet, they name me, and then ask for a verse:
Especial for someone they hold in their hearts;
Rarely considering my oft empty purse -
Really a wallet, he muttered, self-conscious -
Yet brand stores for blank cards: them they’ll reimburse.
Muted thanks mumbled by even the staunchest
Coolly avoiding the pockets at haunches.
Dubious looks given freely instead
As they wonder how I can walk in their heads;
Incisively dredging soul-secrets to fore.
Dismiss me entirely until they want more.
MY DEBT TO YOU
Oh, my darling,
For all the things you have
Done for me,
For your love
For your care
For your devotion
And
Your many sacrifices
To repay you in kind
I yearn
But
A lifetime is required
Before
A portion of my debt to reimburse,
Will I be able to!

We all long to be rich, and live a fancy
to not know the meaning of self sacrifice.
To live without the worry of ''O'' how will I pay
next bill? All wanting feel, to be touched,and some ways or another !
To defy the saying of ones own mother with such an ego you couldn't think twice now from a where there is no nice a world we are leaf to fight our way out of the meaning life!where the people have lost their ways to turn your back on the next man defines the meaning behind the rhyme of every man for him self.
To have been rich and have lost your wealth among the commoner to reimburse all that you have taken away from their shelves
and live stock.
The spoken words that are sown
Returns on karmic winds blown
Gathering the dark clouds we try to disown
It can bring us a gentle rain
Or roar like a thunderstorm without restrain
The actions we take will come again
Perhaps returning with the fury of a hurricane
Depending on the thoughts we planted
We may forevermore be haunted
A boomerang thrown in the spiritual universe
Will return to reimburse
Perhaps with a blessing or a curse
Things can go from bad to worse
Life is an equation containing our words and thoughts
And variable actions upon which we reflect
The equation is balanced, the answer is sought
Using the universal law of cause and effect
She was haunting the wilderness of Night
With the darkness over her damned Essence.
Suddenly, a roving mortal caught her sight;
She had dark grimace on her countenance.
She ambled towards the forlorn young man,
She stopped as if someone grabbed her hand.
On the man’s head, there was a flashy crown;
He must be a Prince from some distant-land.
Once, she too was a Princess on this earth
Until someone bewitched her with a curse
That She will live within the life-in-death.
Will God still bestow her any reimburse?
Bewitched, she never had the time to love.
Now this new Love has bewitched her again,
Her rotten heart was fluttering like Dove.
Her misery reminded her of the utmost pain.
She prayed to God for a divine miracle
In a slight hope that she was still hanging
Between life and death, with a debacle
That befell on her without her longing.
Finally, God took pity on her ill provision
And bestowed her gifts of Love, Eternal.
Her dead skins freshened with apparition
Of Existence, once bewitched, infernal.
The Princess then met her despondent Prince,
Who too fell in love at the very first sight of her.
Their two hearts were blessed with inner peace
Though they were bewitched in love, forever.
[WRITTEN BY Osman Gani]
Eradicated, exquisite, hypocritical, and divine
Given your own heart --- but not given your own mind
Slaving through this lifetime to just rush to the next
Disqualified, degraded, and generation-hexed
Unintelligent, psycho, and deranged
When you open your eyes --- your life has already changed
The flashes of your past speed by under the midnight sky
Stagnant, secluded, and your life on a constant "standby"
Running from the thoughts that erupt out of your brain
Until before you know it, you're dead and your body lies crumbled in vain
The life you were meant to lead has definitely gotten away from you
Rushing through your life --- set off without a clue
Shocked and sinister your body's in pieces
Your spirit dwindles off --- and your life simply ceases
Born with a name, a face, and a voice
Just someone else's solution --- isn't another's method of choice
Always fighting, always frontin', always running from your life
Tearing and shredding through your DNA --- life's composite knife
We all just co-exist under the heightens of this moon
Raging and bubbling and on the verge of starting a monsoon
The emotions you display, will manifest itself as a storm
After the destruction of the storms --- your life it's about to transform
Gathering a team --- preparing for the worse
Losing everything together --- nobody gets to reimburse
Learning the stuff in school, they want your kids to learn
To silence and quiet all of the bottled-up unconcern
The greed of the people of this country within
Forcing you to remember and relive the first, original sin
I'll tell you what I want, if you tell me what you need
For the negativity inside your veins has done nothing to you but mislead
The mission you surround yourself --- the "so-called" box from within
Like everything from the beginning was fake possessions --- fake heart & fake skin
You're a barbie in a world, transformed by boxes of rocks
Millions of stopped galaxies --- millions of broken clocks
As the Earth revolves around its dear Sun
So, too, do I revolve around my verse
I understand not why the only one
Who dares to read it wants to reimburse
What they previously put in their purse
As all that matters is easily found
In here, unless they wished to find my curse
Marvelous mutterings make their own sound
Upon the frostbitten, heatbitten ground
- Don’t tell me you can’t their breaking hearts
From lost revolvers, weighing but a pound
In the universal car’s broken parts
We are the oil, unwanted but we
Roam the stars for our immortality
No one can evaluate the cost of a single drop
Mother fed in our babyhood life
No one can reimburse the debt owed for that
with any means of our life
Costly bed with costly soft silky cushion
could never give the heaven feeling as her lap
We start to miss the ecstasy of her touching care slowly
As we grow older and older young mother becomes very old
Past black hairs become white wrinkles on her face seen
Walks very slowly as she’s now weak hears less talk less
All shining has lost for us left nothing for herself
whatever was possible she did to make us happy
Now all strength she has lost by sacrificing whatever she had
Oh! Mother I love you I love you I love you................
Balance
Being an elderly block
With hardly a lock
Had a cut on hair grey
When I had this dismay:
“Grey hair is a trouble,
“I’ll charge you double!”
“With you, I must be bold
“Look this head is bald
“Sure, it’s pretty enough
“To reimburse you half!”
*
Where behaviour is cold
By denigrating the old
Our value is not double
Our worth meets trouble.
And, where Hope’s gone
By Age’s frail bone
If Love is given by enough
Woe is lessened by half!
The infirm is not jealous
Stop being overzealous-
God willing and perchance
Life may strike a balance!

Rumoured to conduce a mine shaft abandoned
Reserve behind rural residential too steep to traverse
Sacred scope gazes at Gold Coast Grand Canyon
Struggle's reward - rugged mountain slope reimburse
Pull surges me along across rubble, rollerskate
Pursuit is overcome as corpse, nestle needs in casket
Ravine ripples rise in ellipse repeat reciprocate
Feathery ferns fed by felled black stump escarpment
Each easy attempt equates to triumph
Cognitive storage organise strong carpentry
Problems tandem with answers turn up
Every earnest try results in Taj Mahal mastery
Sovereign track conquest, ocean span colossal
Steeple reaches quiet, my climbing mind inseminates
Forest folds me into sheltered shaft, stone fossil
Grey gum coliseum deposits amber sap permanence
Sixth of May
Sacred Place
GALACTIC DOSES
Galactic churning of euphoria
Dissolved infinite gallons of hysteria
Arose glorious mountains in all direction
Robust with faith and resurrection
Galactic storms and bolts that blow apart
The mighty ego and hate from every heart
Bloomed seamless beds of lovely Roses
Thorns seem trivial,oceans of nectar oozes
Galactic fusion, release of enormous energy
The blend of good and bad brings synergy
The just , the knowledge with ignorance conflicts
Prevails virtuous light and the darkness forfeits
Galactic big bangs, catastrophes, the apocalypse
Journey through endless tunnels, failures, eclipse
Flash floods of pain, cloudbursts of strain
Pacified with showers of His mercy- filled rain
Galactic chains of abandoned turbulent terrains
Acceptance waves turned them into goldilocks plains
Into black-holes negativity absorbed, dawning new hope
The stars shine like diamonds in golden rope
Galactic swings and swirls of many milky ways
Spreads eternal glory by igniting smile on every face
Gifts to all, that they pray for, the cosmos, the universe
With faith we seek, He will answer, He will reimburse!!
