Best Self Fulfillment Poems


Premium Member Until Last Breath
The sense of time passing slowly,
has passed.
It moved beyond pace to comprehend,
when my skin turned a spotted grey,
and eyes once focused now open,
to a foggy haze.

I grieve not,
for the journey created expectations,
from a child born unaware.
who reached an age of reflection.
Where memories are washed,
in misty...

Premium Member Am I Oak Or Willow Today
Am I an oak today?
Or a willow?
I stare into my soul

Which one is going to benefit me?
I see myself in flexible terms, but
have I already bent too far backwards?

I am lingering at the water’s edge
staring into the pool of self fulfillment
waiting to see what strengths...

Premium Member Of Morality
Dice, the goddess of morals, asked her mother, Themis
Why there's divorce, gambling, abortion, and alcoholism?
Why should dehumanization, like a Bloodstone, beamish?
Why should knives of nemesis nip the knots of neutralism?

Cores of conscience, like collapsed castles, Themis said, crash
The self within the inner sanctum, like sand...

Thirteen
There was a time when the trees seemed taller,
A time when the grass seemed greener and the colors brighter.

A time when the sky seemed like an everlasting blue,
Where the clouds seemed to take on countless different shapes,
Each representing a different corner of my imagination.

A time...

Wilting
in such drowsy prospect
with concrete filling my throat,
I wile-away with Narcissus
until belief beckons at ego’s pace
to chase disgrace on wobbly knees,
shaking my Etch-A-Sketch clean.

Yet, messages slice across the loom
to make room for conscious doom
in disharmony penned
across all strata of travel
like a mantra pinning our climb
away...

Unknown Contentment
We’ve only met briefly
Few times
I’ve been on expeditions to find you
Only to be unsuccessful
It seems as if you wish to remain distant
I’ve longed for you 
Yet you’ve rejected me
You usually join me with love
But it seems she now hates me
Sometimes you came with self-fulfillment
But he...

Premium Member Night Light Variations In a Summer of Discontent
The quite ebony night blew its warm teasing breath---
taunting my wet shining sable skin with a faint coolness.
The paused crescent moon struggled with opaque-like clouds
to dispense sojourning light as it trekked across the sky
towards the self fulfillment of its circadian journey.

All around---within the tree cribbed...

Premium Member Wish List of the Soul
Health, wealth, success, grandeur, and happiness,
Name, fame, status body-mind homeliness;
Family, friends, love, and self-fulfillment,
Thoughts, words, and actions purity movement...  

Within the heart of the ninth clouds floating,
Through mysterious Milky-way boating;
I want to have in each realm my own say,
This has been my trance-mad daydreaming...

Premium Member Involvement In Great Commission
Our Great Commission involvement’s motive…
Is it just a mere display of our desire to be active???
It should not be out of leisure’s elective or pleasure’s incentive---
Let's work for the Lord’s glory* thru His directive to be heavenly productive!!!

Our Great Commission involvement’s advancement…
Is it just a...

Premium Member Depression Steals Real Lives
Depression kills
Real lives.
Depression steals
Real lives.
Self-punishment
Is not the answer.
Self-fulfillment
Is the profound desire
To love oneself, to be proud,
To hope and to cry out loud
That happiness and success
Are waiting near the corner.
Suicide is evidently not the answer.
Joy can neutralize anxiety, anguish and anger.
Depression is a bad disease, take...

Blue Tattoo
Gladly the rag falls dead beside the kitchen sink,
Grey and brown with coffee grounds and spillage,
Dripping pensive ochre on the rim,
Sombrely it slipped over the brink
And stank of rape and pillage.
Handmaid of the sweat shop penitentiary,
Her abrasive bruises culled by twilight shades,
In solitary confinement for...

Premium Member Rule of Threes Four
Messiah’s portent
His advent, descent, ascent
Returns to cement

Apostates conspire
To douse the prophet's hellfire
But reap God's backfire

Curse your weighted scale
Your oppression leaves a trail
God's scale will prevail

Salvation has highs
Persecutions brutalize
Faith to exercise

Human worth erodes
Divine judgment at crossroads
Man's defense implodes

Too close to the edge
Our foolish pride drives the...

Triangle of Meadows
It’s utterly exhausting
With feelings, so intense
My peace is what it’s costing
And that’s a tall expense

My mind is lined with echoes 
Relentlessly recurring
A triangle of shallow meadows
Repeatedly deterring

I dwell among the untamed weeds
Listening for whispers
Of those who need for me to grieve
A damaged, loving, drifter

I absorb...
