Best Thyself Poems


Fault of Thyself

Fault Of Thyself

For every man there is reward.
For every man there are consequences.
Which kind of man are you?
 
For the brave man, there is honor.
For the cowardice man, there is desertion.
For the stone man, there is isolation.
For the weeping man, there is no shame.
For the anger man, there is violence.
For the patient man, there is a reward.
For the observant man, there is a puzzle.

For every woman there one man who fits her.
Be she the reward.
Be she the consequence. 
She is the Queen to the King.

Be she the honorable, for the brave man.
Be she the deserter, for the cowardice man.
Be she the isolatar, for the stone hearten man.
Be she right hand of no shame, for the weeping man.
Be she the perfect reward, for the patient man.
Be she the puzzle, for the observant man.

A man who can never handle a woman during her most awful, destructive days then he does not deserve her on her wonderful, perfect day.

Love Thyself

self,
Don't back down,
swinging and fighting, 
is not the only way to go down.

disregard the hurt, 
and look for love,
it's hard to know,
that you can find someone to truly love.
 
you've tried so many times before,
but is this so bad,
you've given up,
and that's why you're mad.

you should change,
which takes some time,
evaluate the inside,
and forget the mind.

don't you remember, 
that you are all that you have,
no one will love you,
the way that you have,

please give it some thought,
before you give up,
this is your fortune, 
Not just your luck. 

love Whitley R. Fields

Make 'um rhyme
Make 'um ring
Make those people wanna sing

Keep 'um cumin'
Don't hold back
Tear out the stops, stay on the track

You don't care where you come from
They'er eyes an' ears
Not some-one

Your battered heart
That tattered soul
Don't make excuses for your droll

When morning comes
And dark is light
That's when your mind might wanna fight

Don't let it win
It's not your loss
Besides, it's your mind it ain't your boss

Stand up when you hear that bell
Tell the stories you gotta tell
You got a sorry soul to sell

Unto Thyself Be True

Where hast thou gone? 
Sweet innocents of youth
Thy reverence of purity
And subservient of truth

With poisoned treachery 
Thy essence perverted
Ignorance and jealousy
Thy Inner beauty subverted

Heavy upon sharp thorn
My trust doth lie
Heart heavy with burden
Tears of anguish I now cry

Unknown to thyself
Thy sweet self dost deceive
I know not my place
To my motherhood I now bereave

How sweet and lovely 
Dost thou make the shame
Never say that I was false of heart
As easy might I suffer myself the blame.

This I do vow, 
And this shall ever be;
I will be true, and love eternal
Despite thy betrayal of thee.

Thou Shalt Not Kill: Thyself

A crime against man. 
Committing suicide

A crime against man. 
Committing suicide

Attempted suicide...
On the other hand...

Not suicide 

Therefore, suicide is a criminal act and an attempt is not. 
Sense can find way by understanding that man is of intellectual supremacy. 

Man who attempts suicide is not committing suicide. 
Meaning that no crime is committed. 

Grey areas persist. 

Life is an opinionated subject. 
Face your own facts and serve justice accordingly so. 

This is the finely lined aspect. 
People often make errors in judgment(s). 

That being said. 
All of this... 

Suicide is a crime. 
But, the prosecution rests its case as justice is served through such death. 

Man is of supreme intellect. 
An attempt at suicide is more often a cry for help than a criminal act to the likeness of actual; completed suicide.

Smart people would, and often do, succeed in their attempt(s) of stealing their own lives—in the successful (failure) of actual suicide. 

Suicide is a crime. 
A murder in fact... 

Attempted suicide is given exemption of law due to such intellectual rationalization.
Realizing that suicide will happen if actuated with (ir)rational intellectual reticulation. 

At the end of the day we can all rest assured with this next line to be true. 
Thou shalt not kill...

Including you—

Myself To 'Thyself'

Playing with the butterflies, squirrels, birds
Embracing the fruits, flowers and seeds
The identification then remains stagnant
For quite some years
Then with the members of the community
Would like to attach
Cling on and cherish them
In the neighbourhood by the country
Befriending, helping, empathising
Expand the 'self'
No more walls now
A free, vagrant vagabond strolling past
The villages, cities, continents
Loving every face of man and woman
Black and fair
Rich and poor
Feeling every creatures pain own miseries
Healing their woes, agonies, malaises
In 'summum bonum' and ecstasy
All relations bound in a garland
Of 'Humanity'
Not a less or more
But the centre of the core
Of that radiating circle
Whose centre is in the middle
Without any circumference
Just an atom in the world
Still yet everything.

It is a blessing to be born as a human
And to count life's blessings
Another conundrum
Like counting the infinite stars in the sky
SO FAR AND SO HIGH!
It's a blessing to live happily together
Amongst the beauties and bounties of nature 
A happy home with parents
Siblings, relatives and friends.....................
And to share with everone the joys and sorrows


Thank you God for the world so sweet
Thank you God for the food we eat
Thank you God for the merry birds that sing
Thank you God for everything.

Thyself

know thyself
keep off the shelf
plot the essence of thy life
avoiding cracks of strife
then with thee shall walk an elf

Reflect on this proverb, oh worthy hermit
'A chain is only as strong as its weakest link'
So let us look deep within the core of our being
To discern the cause why time and again we sink

Bemused by myriad illusions our mind is hypnotised
Flitting about unsatiated between objects of desire
But fleeting moments of joy are followed by pain
Elusive seems eternal bliss for which we aspire

The root cause of suffering then is ignorance
For we flounder about knowing not who we are
In bondage to feral instinct, we discern not the truth
From God’s domain of love and light, we’ve drifted afar

With this recognition, once we shift into tranquil silence
The chinks in our armour are automatically repaired
Divine aligned, love drenched soul stands erect
Mind, body and soul finally with God paired

Finding a Oneness With Thyself

Finding a oneness  in thyself 

Written By Dean Masciarelli

October 11, 2010 (10:41am)


Finding a oneness in thyself

So that my life can have
more meaning and purpose
and ultimately true self worth;

Has been challenging in itself

But through leaps and bounds
across this earth;
and simple acts of kindness

I have taken 
everything 
off of the shelf 

Because I have learned
how 
to smile; and reward myself

Thyself

Thyself myself the leader of all my dreams
                                  The only owner of my being
Created from ones feminine ovaries and ones masculine secretion of semen, my 
being resembles their semblance, my death will remember my life’s remembrance, 
thyself, myself envisioned a complicated coincidence, thyself spirit-n-soul are 
relative, to the world thyself, myself I give. Experience equates to what thyself, 
myself has lived, non-perfect but a paragon thyself is, love is thyself, twin born 
seconds apart, thyself light ends, then thyself dark starts, thyself, myself ‘til 
death do us part.

Love Thyself

Regurgitated words, 
moments of retracing, 
demented, tormented, 
and self-effacing, 

Pointless retribution, 
shadowy diatribe, 
shielded delusions, 
salvation contrived. 

Self-realization 
needs no defense, 
adorned with self love, 
its own recompense. 

Identify appreciation 
for gifts received -
rejection of beliefs 
preconceived. 

Inoculation of worth, 
dis-ease extinguished, 
perpetual virtue 
suppresses anguish; 

Mirror reflections, 
tales of fortitude, 
reveals the truth 
and wisdom of attitude.

Gather Thyself

Sometimes I feel as if I'm going to crack yet somehow I find the strength within myself to bounce back.

I look at her stressed with tears in her eyes my soul wants to jump out of my chest and hug her from inside stitch up her spirits destressing her mind.

I see what she sees it definitely rips me apart inside but I need to remain strong to be her strength be at her side and hold on to her tight.

Mentally drained, Physically exhausted, Muscles are tense, My fist are pounding. Crimson tears are flowing but I gather my thoughts, my strengths and my emotions to keep myself grounded. ™©

Mend thyself




  When skin creases and silver colours the plait,
    Nest empties, then starts that endless wait;
             Better be your own best friend,
                   Part with that dull trend;
                              Stay happy,
                                  Mend;
                             Dress snappy,
                          Defy ageing, blend;
                  Youthful times don't ever end,
                 Let sweet melodies reverberate;
  When skin creases and silver colours the plait.
