Best Reshaping Poems


Premium Member As We Do Now

Will the children of today, 
when they are old, look back 
and say, as we do now,  that 
times have really changed?
Will they mean it in the same way
that we mean it now? Will they, 
in future, all remark, as we 
do now, how slow the pace of life 
once was and how fast, now, 
it has become? 

Abandoning their games, 
reshaping minds,  will they better 
understand than we have 
understood that not all 
all-too-rapid change is good?
Will they be fairer than we are --
cling to real, not bogus, values --
to their own unadulterated, 
kinder truths. 

Will justice be much fairer, blinder -- 
and, to repeat,  much kinder --
then than now?  Let us 
try to steer the way so that they 
may not, in future, do
as we do now.

Annus Mirabilis-1905

March is a time of transition
winter and spring commence their struggle
between moments of ice and mud
a robin appears heralding the inevitable
life stumbling from its slumber
it was in such a period of change in 1905
that the House of Physics
would see its Newtonian axioms
of an ordered universe collapse
into a new frontier
where the divisions of time and space
matter and energy
were to blend as rain and wind
in a storm that broke loose
within the mind of Albert Einstein
where Brownian motion danced
seen and unseen, a random walk
that became his papers marching through science
reshaping the very fabric of the universe
we have come to know
we all share a common ancestor
a star long lost in the eons of memory
and yet in that commonality
nature demands a permutation
a perchance genetic roll of the dice
which births a new vision
lifting us temporarily from the mystery
exposing some of the roots of our existence
only to raise a plethora of more questions
as did the papers of Einstein in 1905


   SAN DIEGO 9/05   Philosophy of Science Portal 
   Tim Ray   Poet Colleague
i was working as a "Stringer" for the above blog searching the Internet for articles on physics and philosophy and was asked to write this as part of a celebration of the 100-year mark of Einstein's papers. i do not do requests but i conceded for reasons. my claim to fame herein is a poke at Einstein's statement that God does not play with dice, however, was not he a permutation in the scheme of things? and lest we forget he objected to the Big Bang theory holding onto the Steady State with other scientists because it was too much like Genesis. and lost to Bohr over Quantum Entanglement, settled by John Stewart Bell...but who is counting? and these peccadillos stand in little shadows of those papers in 1905.

My Prayer For the World

my prayer for the world
am a part of humans 
living in a planet called earth 
we were once blessed
but now this blessing 
has turn curse 
the world no longer rotates 
in a good shape 
cos those from the powers 
of darkness 
are reshaping the world 
destroying our nature 
and killing our minds 
so I pray oh God protect 
the world 

my prayer for the world
oh God protect the innocent
from the bad scientists
protect our young from mental 
slavery
protect our women
from the hunger of money 
protect our air from 
evil pollution 
is obvious those in power
are not our saviour
is obvious that our intellectuals
our  most creative minds 
are truly corrupt
even our technology bleeds 
radiation to destroy our nature
nothing sims save any more 
oh God
so I pray protect the innocent
in a world of destruction oh God 

my prayer for the world
destruction I see 
invading the world
it is growing oh God 
while the so many are asleep
comfortable accepting that
which kills them 
gladly adoring the ones 
who in slaves them 
openly praising the works
of evil
oh God what a world 
a world were we are made 
just to follow 
who ever ask questions
look strange 
in a strange world itself
so always I pray oh God
protect the innocent in a 
world of destruction

my prayer for the world
open up the inner eye 
of the innocent oh God 
cos they really need to see 
were the devil is leading
the world to 
open up the minds of many 
oh God 
to understand the level of 
the evil gravities of devilish lies
that has befallen us in this world
cos the time of redemption is now 
we need to be free from fears 
so I pray oh God protect the
innocent 
guide their part in this world of
destruction

Premium Member The Skeleton Key

Wrought liquid metal, hued in the fire's of hell,
Pored into a castings shell, then hammered well,
By the angry fists of Satan himself, behold the skeleton key.
Accursed by evil's malevolent spell, one size fits all,
No locked doors can resist against its turnings twist,
Opening unto the supernatural's mystical power, and unlocking
Humanity's hidden passages and darkest corridors,
Leaving no secrets left unspoken or in silence.
Crimson blood spewing forth from corrupted key holes, oozing
Downwards unto the floor below, staining ancient
Tapestries of the royal gentries, and the upper classes refined.
Skull to the cross bones, it possesses a will of its own, 
A vile living entity, with its own consciousness.
Molding, reshaping itself at pleasures dark whim, 
Feasting on hatred's malice, then releasing it unto the world
Of men.
A twisted wanton thing, laughing with intentions cruelties,
And relishing in our agonies pain.
But *****sapiens are a curious species, never realizing when to
Leave things well enough a lone.
We must know what lies beyond that forbidden
Door, where mankind is not allowed to trespass.
In these dark places of shadows ethereal, it rocks in a fetal 
Ball, a creature, waiting to be disturbed, go then seek what lurks therein,
If you dare, only the key knows what it really is, and it laughs,
At our ignorance, mocking us in the darkness.
Four it is the beast, chained and shackled within our worst
Nightmares, a fierce devilish demon, that pierces through the
Darkest of night, to hunt the innocent souls of wayward men.
You've have ventured to far, beyond thy safety zone of no return.
Four death lies in those reddened eyes that watch you within 
The darkness.
If you move it will attack, motions movements attracts
Attentions reactions, so remain frozen there is no safety's retreat
Thou'art trapped, again the key so laughs in the abyss,
Mocking at humanity's ignorance.
Shaking with anticipations glee, it begs the next
User to place it into the key hole, of the unknown, come along 
Now what can it hurt, just one little peek, let’s look beyond the crimson
Door, as the skeleton key heckles with unbridled happiness.

Green Eyes

How does it work, this human heart
 Aches and pain, stress and stains
 Lingering taste that's left is tart
 Bitter to the core
 It keeps on feeding, always, forever
 Something I can't ignore

 Changing, reshaping, discolored and hard
 Alone and weak it struggles to go on
 It appears to be full, but actually starved
 Gazing down as the butterflies fly up
 Hard to breath, eat or sleep
 I never knew this road would be so tough

 Now and then I think of them
 All those who had a string
 All fools they seam, when compared to him
 Green eyes gazed into my soul
 What will be my fate
 Will I ever again gain control

 I hoped someone would understand
 Someday see who I am
 When the morning light hits my face
 Hear music in its place
 Im still here, and I hope one day
 That my ripple will one day reach the pier

Premium Member Choose Wisely Right Or Wrong Take a Side

The Trojan wars has begun 
when we whom do not agree 
in certain opinions branded as influencers 
this is a new age word created by hate 

Claiming certain individuals are from the dark ages 
speaking of justice being critically accurate 
clinically pinpointing the raw nerve exposed as bad roots
in what is condemned to be truthfully laid bare has rights 

Narrative has taken an awful twist towards bullying 
in the opposite direction within no man's land 
pushing evil agendas down a person's throat as caring 
academically impaired those claiming knowledge

When we witness this physical exchange 
reshaping everything logical in this world 
to speak within council 
replacing it with what I say  

For those outside the kingdom of God everything is in parables
giving us visions enabling us to hear correctly 
but not understand least they should turn and be forgiven

Corsets My Waist

Corsets My Waist
In my corset I 
Feel thin and lean
My waist is constricted
Without any pain

Down to a 22 from 
A  26 inch waist
Inch by inch as I
 am tightly laced

Around my body it
Is snug and warm
Squeezing firmly like
A silk stalking glove

It Defines the curves,
 smoothes out lumps,
Especially if you have
Junk in your trunk

Reshaping my form
And reducing my waist
Creating an illusion of 
the perfect barbie frame

I Walk proud and I
Stand tall this corset
 I wear Is the cause
 of it all

I glow with radiance 
And sex appeal
causing not just men
but the girls to stare

So next time you see
A perfect ten stroll bye
 you might find yourself
Staring because you are
 mesmerized

 if this happens  don’t
 hesitate to tell her she
 looks good with a 
Corseted waist

"THIS NEXT PART HAS BEEN ADDED ONLY FOR THE PURPOSE OF MY CORSET GIVEAWAY CONTEST ON MY FACEBOOK PAGE. IT IS ADDED ONLY FOR THE CONTESTANT TO USE FOR THE INTERACTIVE PART OF MY CONTEST"
CONSTESTANTS...YOU MUST TAKE THIS ENTIRE POEM (CUT AND PAST) TO CORSETFITZ TIMELIME AND POST IT BEFORE YOUR INTERACTIVE SECTION BEGAINS

CONTINUED:

Now here you are 
with yours tightly laced,

as you stroll by..
you feel the eyes
 focus on your waist....

what will they say about about you?

Career Path Change

career path change 
reconstructing future 
self's realm of reality 
by way of altering 
present life path 
reshaping the course 
of inaction into action 
not allowing path to remain the same 
not allowing the current self to sabotage the future self
altering the space time continuum 
creating an alternate future reality

SPOKEN BROKEN WITH MY HEART MIND STAYED ON GOD ON ALL OCCASIONS

Lord I need you I need the more of you 
I need to place you more to be in the center of my life 
My every fiber my every being needs to be physical and spiritual in alignment 
See I need the more of you in my life
 I don't need to be whole in my way
 I don't need to be whole as Humanity says
I need to be broken remote is remade with my eyes stayed on you

SPOKEN BROKEN WITH MY HEART MIND STAYED ON GOD ON ALL OCCASION

 I need to be broken, broken in you as broken pieces Sacrificed I need to be remolded, reshaping be remade in you 
Lord O'God place me on the potter's wheel 
I need the present of you first without God I am nothing 
You giving me life I have a yearning I have a thirst 
As the presence of God  tends to my yield 

Broken me Lord fill me use me
Without you I'm nothing I want to be like a thirsty dear Panting for Your water
 I want to be an instrument for you to help through you save your sons and your daughters  O'Father 

SPOKEN BROKEN WITH MY HEART MIND STAYED ON GOD ON ALL OCCASION

I need to be broken shattered in pieces corruptured separated from everything not liking to you 
Remolded reshapen fill up in you
So full illuminated all they see Humanity when they look at me all they see is  just you

I need to be splintered and crushed lit set apart from Anything not like you be focused set viewed 
I stayed my mind on you 
Ruptured and torn to be reborn rebirth
Bible verse lead to Jesus, thinking of only you first 

I am broken to be remade structurally shape- remade 
In the likeness of You for what I do 
God I'm nothing without you 
Father remade me I'm a chosen one 
Who can say I am not definitively Your child a Child of God
Got my mind, heart, soul and eyes on My Father God
Shabar sacrifice breaking in peace I'm broken in God

Life's a Beach

I seek a dip in the ocean
Its cold, aggressive waters are therapy
It seems all of my troubles can slip away
With the rift of the turbulent sea

Walking across the warm sand
Its texture both heals and wounds
Reshaping and softening the skin
Working its way into every groove

That initial lick of ocean froth
As innocent as a salty kiss
Betrays the nature of its icy embrace
And the magnitude of the abyss

The current is stronger than I am
I am tossed and thrown about
At times I am not sure I will wind up
At the surface or be pulled down!

But once beyond the sluicing waves
I am in a paradise of tranquility
Alone, awakened and restored
I swim until the shore can barely be seen

Once home, the ocean scent lingers
Perfuming my hair and dreams
And as I nap, I am carried back
To the lullabye of the sea

Premium Member Grateful Insights

The sole praise for being blessed is priceless.
Inhale the soft glow of the soul welly.
It's false to force others to your embrace. 
He just pulls the faint air from blessed body. 
Desire to get rid of gloom and sadness.

What a gloss golden chance to be alive. 
Leading, sustaining, and soulful living.  
There have been few reshaping swarmed to thrive.  
Regret has excelled in untethering.  
Having reached a whit of skill to contrive.

What glory has been given utterly? 
Our goal is to live as long as feasible. 
I loathe the stoics for their tenacity. 
Ignore your claim round ranking audible. 
What we've created is almost perfectly. 

What an excellent feeling that all is good.  
As I rode, I grasped how to be together.
The work is still in the layering hood. 
It was an outcome of prior sway blunder.
This is a huge gift from the diced awards lured.

Premium Member A Single Sifted Grain of Sand

Could a single sifted grain of sand ever disappear?
You pour ocean's capacious core into a roar.
Dolphins flip rhythmically within; echolocation's clicks You hear.
Shifting, reshaping sand slides against gentle waves, seeking shore.

You pour ocean's capacious core into a roar.
Polyps of reef-clung coral invitingly sway for a tasty array of incognizant prey.
Shifting, reshaping sand slides against gentle waves, seeking shore.
An infant's hands imprint the sand, as a shoreside band plays reggae.

Polyps of reef-clung coral invitingly sway for a tasty array of incognizant prey.
Dolphins flip rhythmically within; echolocation's clicks You hear.
An infant's hands imprint the sand, as a shoreside band plays reggae.

Premium Member You Are, Part 5

poof. I feel your color. you ignite me. you chastise me. my vulnerability is humiliating. breathing such humid air is humiliating. and poof. here you are. where you have always been. the differences. and the distances. fighting demons. sleeping in your favorite denim. morning grew dim until it was the heart of night. the deepest, truest, purest words I had ever written. I now rewrite. I must rewrite. I must confess. I must write. I'm confused. emotionally constrained. oh. The pain. but I found solace. In you. In outter space. we held hands. and floated right away. you kissed me. right away. I kissed the cosmos. existing. In your smile. I felt warm. I smiled. I feel warm. For once, I smiled. I feel at home. Right away. Well, that's how I felt. Finding forever. You gave me courage. To be free. poof. poof. Freedom. A melody. And what if I tell you. [now]. How I feel. Disappear into the morning sun. The moon is mourning the morning sun. A morning run. I crave more morning sun. I bask in your sunset. I can't watch our favorite movie. The mourning is done. I can taste your regret. I am on the run. And yet. It's morning. you move me. You stopped me. You dug. deeper. into me. You chased me. You sought me. Igniting me. And rewriting me. Changing me. And Reshaping me. Who I am. Recreating me. All that I was meant to be. and making me. Breathing. Breathing into me. You. You know. You must be beautiful. The stakes must be high. Hello. Hi. How far will these colors go. Blues. Greens. Purples. May I go with you. Cobalt blues. Sea greens. Magentas. Turquoise. Emerald. Sapphire. Poof. Poof.  Move me. the differences. the distances. the places. the people. I can no longer distinguish. But I feel color, Mister...

Conference Call

Can I declare a duty poetic,
orating of a love alphabetic?

No honorable intentions, 
free-venting my notions…
Escapes in a mere write,
reshaping joys, or spite…
Echoing wordy sashays,
nuances, and mind play…

Calculating mythomania,
elevates to an egomania!

Cast the grandiose delusions aside
Artistry is where pretensions abide…

Like words full of farce,
levitate beautiful scars!

Mother I Love You

Mother, my hands have never wiped your sleep scarred eyes
Offered you the offering of blood, breast, and unshed tears
Temple of prayers found in you, sanctuary of troubled years
Hands crossless bleeding, caring for the child hope did despise
Emblem of virtue in self giving, strength's reservoir, my beauty,
Rest not in pearl of past glory, unflinching love to onerous duty

Integrity is the garment of the wise, none wears it like you

Love so lovely, discipline so comely, example of patience true
Operas had no song to sing like milk or your morning dew
Virtue no image as bright, or dedicated teacher kind like you
Emerald of unjewelled days, darling, sweet mother, I love you.

Years have left undiminished your living sterling and giving
Opal of the starless heart, I give the diamond of skies to you
Urging me to use for building bricks blocks set for stumbling. 

                                     II
Mother I wish you were here still
Offering me guideance and strength of will
Teaching me to negotiate the earth
Harbour of my weary vessel when I berth
Ego dry, empty of grace and vision to see
Rebuilding, reshaping virtue and character in me 

Instructor of the heart, the hands and the head

Lady of women apart, I cry still in my bed
Only true love, your sting and rebuke repairing
Virtue in me. Mother, I love you still, darling
Eternal memories comfort me when I'm in dread.

Yearn my heart to hear sing through the night
Onward through rain or cloud drenched sunlight
Under no circumstance surrender, mother, you said.
