Best Surrounding Poems


Calm in the surrounding storms

Drifting,under the moonlight,
Out, of darkness has come a great light.
The wind is guiding the way,
As, the boat no longers sways.
The roar of the waves are in silence.
For, the soul is clinging to the true Living alliance.

                    Surrounding shores, seas

                    Supporting sparking stars

                    Speaking stunning secrets

Reality: Shadows Surrounding Humanity

I have stopped dreaming about the dilapidating person,
And began to open the vital eyes of the forlorn reality,
Yet, if you observe the time’s dimension in milliseconds
Then you would realise the existence of dark shadows,
Lurking to fish ancient chaste villages for Today’s Special*,
Headlines switching from the wasteland to the desert,
As if a show screening for the mindless masses of meat**,
No sense of life!
And copious shadows still hunt puppets out of souls.

I have stopped dreaming about the pristine person
As I observed the wilderness in the city of Deer AlZoor,
Smiles did flourish in the small villages along the river,
Until the putrid puppets placed their powerful*** hands
On the soon-to-disappear persons of joy and glory,
The puppet’s contaminated minds removing all hope,
A move towards ethnic cleansing was just the start,
No sense of life!
And the shadows plan on barricading the city of Dar’a.

* metaphor for trying to find new ways to kill people
** consonance alliteration 'm' and meat is a metaphor for persons
*** consonance alliteration 'p'

and there are many more :P


These Clouds, Surrounding My Space

As these clouds keep surrounding, my space
I keep walking
Until, I've fallen to deep
Hoping and praying
I have a reachable hand
A ladder, some way up

I wish drum-fires, thunder-cracks and twisters
Would leave me alone
I wish my roses
Had no thorns, as they leave me bleeding
In so many places

I try to rinse off
Deep, deep in the ocean
Rinsing all these scars
I keep collecting, day by day

As, I lift up a voice and caterwaul
Take away my fever
Stop letting me, tumble
Stop receiving my blood
Each and every way I fight
Causing me to lose, my field of vision

Deep in these clouds
These clouds, surrounding my space
My only space

A World of Surrounding Water

A World of Surrounding Water
You’re hiding yourself in a cave,
Wondering if you should take a glimpse at the world
A cold body of water sitting still with no sign of life,
Surrounding you, keeping you from what’s on the outside

The radiant beams of sunlight shine into your once dark and lonely cave
The illumination of light gleams into the water
Leading way to a path in which you are to follow,

The glowing on the water leads way to a world,
A world of misunderstanding,
A world full of mistakes,
A world that’s worth forgiving,
A world that everyone takes for granted

A world for you to explore,
The body of water being what surrounds you in life
The sunlight is all the good twist and turns,
And that cave you hide yourself in is protection
from all the hurt, rejection, and negativity,
That everyone faces in the world, 
A world of surrounding water

Heart Gentle Eye Mindful

Heart Gentle, Eye Mindful

On a quest 
    of eternity’s profoundly puzzling 
    silence…
Passing uncounted glorious galaxies

On a flight finding
Discoveries
    in outer-space’s still expanding 
Possibilities —
    with dimensions unfolding 
    out of infinity’s appearing 
    at first sight, essentially empty…

But, be still and listen…
It is written,
“Faith is the substance 
    of things hoped for, 
    the evidence of things unseen…” 
And believe how
    from the all of non-existence,
    preceding even the light and darkness…

To will creation
     from the surrounding oblivion,
God rose
     — with His heart gentle,
       eye mindful, 
       and soul seeking —
To issue
The genesis of All 
Life
In His image 
    with 
The first breath/the first word…

The spirit of Thy light,
lives inside my body.
Surrounding me in love,
love I can give away.
I am learning daily.

Surround the irritation
the painful thought
the dull itch..
Ask that surrounding
the identity of that
which it surrounds..
Our real Self
is thus exposed
and touches the pain
which now.. undisguised
is found as One
with infinite Self...

Surrounding My Love From the Heavens Up Above

Will you think of me each day
If I ever go away
And not return because I
Had to to fly up in the sky
With my halo and new wings
Will our memories just bring
Back happy times from long ago
And will a smile start to show
As you remember all the days
We were crazy and the ways
Hugs would keep us cozy warm
And we'd get through any storm
With a love so strong and true
Please be happy--never blue
Cause I will be looking down
As my love is all around
In your heart and when you look
At the places that you took
Me on dates--romantic nights
And I know you'll be alright
I will be forever here
With each smile and sad tear
Keeping watch over my love 
From the heavens up above

           Darkness, ominous.
           Threatening clouds, lightning aglow.
           God's mystery show.

Darkness Surrounding

I've tried my best to write a poem of delight,
A poem of insight and no internal fight,
A piece in which fright is no longer depended on
Where my blissful darkness is frowned upon

But despite my need for peace,
My hopeless anger is still missing its leash,
The darkness that surrounds us, pushes us and consumes,
And vacuums all that is good, leaving behind its intoxicating fumes.

One could assume we could broom away what dooms us,
But I can only resume my rampage from the womb to the tomb,

And although with this attitude, there is nothing to gain
It brings me salvation through my pain

surrounding grace plus

good morning
below are two entries

I have not forgotten any and all 
responses that I need to reply to for
"goddess of all waters" and under a star"

I thank you for your continued patience
I have the utmost respect for each of you and your work
thank you and I will see you soon on your pages
may this day find you all well
I am beyond behind...


"surrounding grace"

let it be said
we enter the world
with love and light

let it be written
for us to understand
blessings from above

let it be done
we continue this path
for grace to surround

"the dream"

the dream begins

there lies a dream filled with color and light
I wait for the day we meet face to face
my search and quest will never fade or die
patiently I will forever hope and believe

the dream awaits

for my wanted ambitions I will achieve
the glory of life will transform like a butterfly
when this happens darkness will then erase
my soul can finally take a soaring flight

the dream remains

tomorrow the dream at last will come true
nevermore with color and light will I be blue

the dream will be

In a Lonelin Essence Surrounding Me

A lonely time of self-loathing losses
I am all alone, all by myself
But I want for nothing
For u have in my life great wealth.

But I am lonely, & i long to seek
Someone elses companionship
In these times I feel so bleak.

For ive become, glued to a bitter past
From stones thrown in lifes hurdles
In times in errors that were cast.

I'm at a standstill in my presence of life
I can see no exit
From this dark time of upheavals strife.

My mind is clouded over in thought
Of much disillusion
In which my sad times have brought.

But I must stand strong & venture on
And travel onwards if im to reap rewards
For the path of life that's past & gone.

So now I make a healthy choice
& i pray that God shall in prayer
He will hear my voice.

And rewards will be reaped by what was sown
In a lifetime of achievements
Along with the sadNess also known.

Abounding and Surrounding

Abounding and Surrounding

Great dental abilities did seem to be abounding;
Around me was wonderful service surrounding;
And each day,
Wanted to stay
Satisfaction was in words and their sounding.

Darkness Surrounding

Darkness surrounding 

The darkness it seems
That plague that kills our dreams 
The depression surrounding our souls 
That feeling of never being whole 

The darkness is all around 
That same noise that doesn’t make a sound 
The thoughts in your head
That make you wish and hope you were dead

The rain was beautiful 
That dream was real
The darkness took control
That pill just had to seal the deal

The past is over 
That familiar sound hovers 
The future isn’t near 
That death depression is my fear 

The darkness surrounding 
That feeling is channeling 
The darkness has won 
That soul is now gone.
