Best Releasing Poems

there is a river in each soul
flowing smoothly over sand
bubbling over rocky beds
until each living drop falls

Daniel ran through my river
second chance at love
flowing on gentle currents in my heart
waking emotions that lingered in limbo

lily drifting with tide
caught by the strong arm of a tree
until...

The choice is mine, to spend my time where seagulls sing for me
A day to play beneath the sun, have fun and feel no shame
My chores undone, but my heart is won by everything I see
Not often have I felt so sure, or found a...

Lies from directions I had not expected 
Offered in a variety of ways 
Apologetically 

Pretending to be concerned 
I sent them away 
Recognizing their imperfections 

Seeing them more clearly now 
Rumour Mongers 
Thriving on gossip 

Fabricated by clouded minds
Trouble makers 
No longer friends of any...

Shedding the chains In my mind, anile regrets reside. 
A haunting reminder of mistakes I cannot hide.
Self-doubts and hurts cling to my soul.
As heavy chains, dragging me down and taking their toll.

But today I declare, no longer will I be bound,
The weight...

I open the book and turn the pages
Releasing a mythical fantasy
The world and noise around me vanish
I emerge into a world anxiously

Into a touch of real true magic
That is in the making as I breathe deep
My heart pounding under the dramatic
lasting   performance my...

Into the wind
the heart speaks
the words
that stay hidden
from all others.
Joining with them
the heart spent
words spoken by
sisters and brothers.

The leaves of the trees
seem to gather, 
with ease,
every heart-spent phrase.
Waving them each
to the heavens
in turn
then releasing
them in the breeze.

A sky’s pasty pallet, 
thickly stroked
with a heavy brush,
lends pale shadows
to the earth below
while a filament  
of a memory
improves the dreariness
with joyous rays

Soon to follow
comes the rain
as the clouds lessen
their laden load
and the day brightens
as remembrances lighten
and sorrow steams away
on the pavement 
of a...

Hence, forth I walk.
Too Summer I talk
When I leap, Jump I find.
I am the intellectual suffering voices.
When the voices rise.
I find the drastic Dragon.
Drum-roll.
I excavate terminologies.
Hence I colour the colour-book.
So forth
To remove the shadows
Of the voices, which I brask....

Girl I like the way you walk and your sexy attitude.

Every time that I'm next to you I feel like I'm on a higher altitude.

You have a gentle smile I just want to be next to you.

And girl just to ease your mind everything that...

Submit
Not to another
Neither to your inhibitions
Let them be cast like a coat in summer
Free the spirit
That resides within you
Thereby submitting to yourself
Through that
All frustration will release
Only at that time will joy arise
As euphoria becomes the reality for all...

Sorry dear,
I've noticed you accidentally
broke another finger nail,
as you raced for the last
fresh lettuce
at the Chinese grocery.

I know
what you can do to forget
all that happened!
Go the beach, and feel
the breeze and taste
of the ocean
on your tongue.

Better still,
you can eat seaweed-
they have oceans' salt,
and still taste...

Reaching out in this darkness. Screaming with silence, my tears pouring with violence from the return to my cries always being with silence. Used for my kindness and condemned for my reaction somehow always being violent. Sick of being quiet and looked down upon for...

RELEASING A BLESSER

Kind words create beautiful images on our soul
Negative words and their power leave hearts not whole
A good word can edify—confirm talents and skills
Whilst criticism our essence with doubt-- conflict fills
Comments can result in crushing snowball effects
Changing our course as weeks, months, years are...

The mind bewitched with thoughts of strong desire
for love and passion created due to fame
and lust for dames which set my heart on fire,
To change this notion ,caused me serious shame.

I fall like pack of cards with low esteem,
Which makes my will and strength to...

Cradling every scar,
Singing each pain to the wind,
Till I owned my song....
