Best Thrive Poems

The west went in guns blazing to help their fellow man
In Syria against the Islamic State and in Iraq and Afghanistan
They brought an end to a campaign of terror and a killing spree
And made the world a better place and safe for everybody. 

So why...

The gateway to forgiveness is liberation..
Upon the awakening..

There is freedom..
Freedom thrives..
Broken wings..
Mended..

Thrive..
Free as a bird..

Flying gracefully..
The ball and chains of entrapment..
dissolved..

Thrive in delectable liberty..
Where forgiveness melts away the pain..
Unforgiveness disappears. 

The beast of burden lifted joyfully..
Upon the deep blue sky..
Splendid wings soar..

Thrive..

As you are carried...

With my words I paint a scene
Vivid, vibrant and pristine
Allowing eyes to read and see
Allowing minds to dream.

Am I a painter? Oh, that’s not so.
I only wish to let you know
My feelings are alive, even though
They may not be what they seem.

Think not the words...

Watch me with my head held high
A smile on my face 
Even if tears are in my eyes
People come at me like organized crime
And I'm brought near to my knees, time after time.
Constantly maiming, consistently shaming
Me, needing to be strong, always escaping.

Now that's done.
No longer...

A Song That Lives On Just To Thrive


Cling like the wild wind to a stormy night
as a child to a sweet mother's hem
Dare to step from safety , from the Light
into shadows dancing free but dim
Be bold in the whispers of a cooing dove
a song...

Does my face retrace the anger,
of a once distant love affair?
Do my curves exhaust a notion,
that at one time we kindly cared?
Yet, I still thrive.

Does my smile rile your insides,
and shadow a subtle act?
Do my hips which sway in elegance,
bestow this monstrous attack?
Yet, I still...

One must learn to thrive
Three years of perseverance
Two now pleaded lenience

Three bleeding hearts…. what about the scars, she could never discard?
Everything is fair in love and war; two swords do not fit into one scabbard.

Villanelle: The Fake or the Phoney thrive only on blatant envy

The Fake or the Phoney thrive only on blatant envy
Who’ll stoop to any level to scuttle the imagined rival
Smiles drawn tight on faces sullen with conspiracy

Yin’s motivating force lies in usurping Yang’s glory
Drives it to...

Contrary to the forlorn attitude,
Thrive for the bliss of solitude,
The vulnerable gets incapacitated,
Keep spark of optimism inside alive !

Helpless gets sturdy, will not mentally die,
Heaps of benevolence, keeps living a lie,
Struggles till the woes get precipitated,
Spark of hope always burns alive !

Languishing tribulations seem incumbent,
A...

Stunting life..desires.!...

failure to thrive

a wee infant thin and silent,
rested placidly in a cot
his skin a pallid shade of blue;
his short stark life almost through.
alone here in this starch white room 
hold him. love him and he will bloom....

Though set apart, their fate is dealt
Upon a solid mount of wealth
Beauty mirrored by crystal lake
With compass set, young roots do take
Encamped by water, air and sun
Forever to thrive in pristine dawns

May all sacred,
but not quite omnipotent,
fathers learn this day
as we impatiently correct
our stress-disordered sons

That respect is earned,
so maybe disrespect is too
positive and negative layered
for and against authority
for and sometimes restlessly against
repeating Business As Usual 
white middle-class dadisms:

You snooze
you lose

May apply to your lethargic
chronically anxious 
thuggish...

Reasons

Sometimes we think, 
Sometimes we drink!
Sometimes our mind,
Is lost in liquor or wine!
The trouble between both black and white, 
Is that each see their view as right!
Let's work together for a single master,
Instead of fighting, which ends in disaster!
We could try annihilation of others,
But I...
