Best Resolve Poems

Not one to run when I hear an alarm,
But I have no desire to do others harm.
          I try to defuse the stress with my charm,
And use wit and patience as I disarm.

Blue melancholy stalks today
To wheedle me with sulking voice
But rather than to fall its prey
I instead resolve to rejoice

And celebrate this blessed life,
Obliging not this day’s brief plight
But honoring so little strife
Through years of gladness and delight.

I must travel to that space to where I know my own perfection
To turn my eyes to the most uplifted of exalted heavens
To feed the grace of challenge and objection
As the daring confrontation to my guide to never lessen
Bearing the thrust, lifting the weight of...

If your face is on my mind
Your eyes held glimmering in mine
that taste and feel of smooth sweet skin
the passion burning within
my resolve falls to tatters
your love is all that matters
please dont let your words be a joke
im looking for the truth you spoke

I want to lose weight
boring
same resolution as last year
and the year before
why can’t I think of an original idea
or follow through on my promise to myself
friends I know can do it
my sister can do it
I fail every time 
I think my resolution should probably be

There once was a woman that was very fat!
Her diet resolves, I fear,
Broken each and every year.
Until she put something new under her hat –
It was her food; now, what do you think of that?

To truly love myself- this I resolve
To guard with zeal my tenderness of heart
Of every care and doubt myself absolve
And fortify and strengthen every part

To cherish and accept the inner me
Unleash and relish each forbidden dream
The woman that I am, to set her free
in wanton...

Human nature being what it is
We are bound to conflict with one another 
Jesus or Father Christ gave us advice on how to resolve conflicts with holiness
Godliness 
 Religiousness instead of bitterness
Next time you conflict with someone

Admit you did wrong

 quatrain 

Resolved to quit, a collection betrays my dear Mona.
Hers are the ones marked by colorful stain.
Her obsession likens her to my aging Smith-Corona.
It’s coughing just now as if in great pain.

Its lungs store a shiny bobble divorced from Mona's ear,
three of her Lucky...

When last we spoke 
	An image came

This latest journey 
	The latest challenge 

That will test
	The strength of 

Our RESOLVE to
	Build upon the love

Begun long ago	
	Now re-inspired

Hesitant at first like the 
	Faltering steps of a foal in spring 

Struggling to stand 
	Kicking up its heels 

Now...
