Best Swim Against The Tide Poems


Premium Member A Summer Walk
The sun is slowly rising and a soft wind gently blows
We are heading for the beach to feel the sand between our toes
There is something about the summer sun and a walk along the shore
That tends to put your world at peace as you hear...

Premium Member Passion Pits
My father had a passion to swim in the open sea
He used to shout, come on,” *Babu, will teach you”.
But never had the courage to respect his calls due.
While I sat on the sand watching his swimming glee.

One day he caught me and threw me...

Waves of Dreams
Life’s ocean of colors carries me 
home. Red and blue waves flow into you 
and days gone by. I am afloat, often 
rolling over and under its surf, a tidal wave 
reflected violet like a mountaintop 
draped in stars falling from Heaven, 
or a calm,...

Premium Member True To Myself
I've never been one to follow others like sheep
I'm not afraid to stand up for what I believe
Not loved by everyone
but I strive for goodness truth and peace

I fight against injustice
and provide a voice for those
who cannot speak
A protector of the victimised 
and the weak

I...

A Piece of Respect
In times of affliction
I raise a voice.
A pain in my heart
Difficult to disguise.

A tale of wrong
You cannot deny.
A wound so deep,
It makes me cry.

Delicate and subtle,
But sublime by nature.
Chosen for you,
From the Greatest Protector.

Like a pearl in a shell,
You can trust your beauty
I never let...

Premium Member Is the Moon Male, Female Or Both
The purpose of gender is balance and procreation.
One moon is enough for us.
Our precious moon 
Has a differing purpose.

The moon reflects the sunlight
During late, dark nights.
It ensures we never find
Ourselves without light.

The moon is known as
The faithful witness in the skies.
Some mention the man in...

Yesterday

i headed up the coast to be,
coming out of the bloody sea,

Eggshells
You say you will, but then you won’t
Say you do and then you don’t
I’m running around in circles all the time
You tell me that you’re feeling low
Saying maybe I should go
Then the next minute you’re saying
You feel fine

It’s a catch twenty-two
Whenever I’m with you
I’m damned...

Swimming Against the Tide
Sometimes you have to swim against the tide,

at times you have fly in the face of opinion,

sometimes you have to decide which side,

that you are going to take,

there are moments when taking a stand

is the only right thing to do,

even if goes against others plans

in...

Futile Leaders
In crisis we swim
Hunger for education has made us slim
The beauty of dye was washed by rain
From ignorance to ignored we leave by cain
Solidarity of the heart some withstand the pain

Minors relishing nothing from national cake
Yet,stroked to make the the cake bake
D realm of hardship...

Like a Bridge
If there was ever any doubt in your mind
You know that I would be the last person to leave you behind
Need or require anything,  if I have it, I would give it to you, you know I would
A trouble halved is a trouble shared,...

Regret
I knelt down at a little creek
To cure my aching thirst.
But before the water touched my cheek
It asked me something first:

“Whose reflection is this here?
Does it have a name?
It has your eyes and look of fear
Yet I know it’s not the same.”

The silent voice then...

Ocean Dreams
The bright radiant sun hits me thru
the oddly shaped clouds
Hot crystal like sand beneath my feet.
The soft touch of the ocean's breeze, 
glad we could meet.

The waves crash ashore- mother natures
band.
I feel free as the angry tide tugs at 
my hand.
Into the ocean I go
Swim...

To Whom It May Concern

If I should suddenly take my last breath
Leave my mortal coil behind
And succumb to the dark of death
Think this of me

I may have been a simple humble man
For a brief moment in space and time  
Who tried to succeed in...

No Suffering, No Success
N-o suffering, no success, 
I-t's a swim against the tide; 
K-ind clime after the storm 
K-ills the fear deep 
I-nside. 

T-wenty-first October morn 
A-llows your life to succeed; 
H-aving conquered the waves, 
U-sing the faith that you need. 
N-o pain no gain it's true, 
E-very...
