Best Toughens Poems

Been blessed with a girl, so perfect, so small
then she says her first words in no time at all

pull up your socks theres a new world called school
her teachers complain, She's acting the fool

a boy's caught her eye, she's now on cloud nine
but I,m only...

When trouble finds my place in time

		I stick to rhythm meter rhyme

			The planet wobbles out of kilter

	Poetry is my lens reflection filter

As virus sheds its ugly eerie mask's persona

			I can be stronger than corona

	Isolation and reclusion are no pleasure

No matter how much you make yourself believe, 
That you have a baby, 
That your drawing for somebody is more than someone else's life, 
That your visions on the other side of the earth 
Are a reality for somebody,
That you are at least furthermore than...

ANOTHER YEAR WITH YOU

Unto the night sky, I see a lace of stars twinkling bright
and far beyond the moon with a grin of mystique light
I welcome the thought that two nights from now,
year 2015 will knock and greet upon my door...

Father God, wow! I can't...

The clouds in their clothes
Rock and roll, swirl and twirl
With mighty might grace

The moon in her race
Salutes the skies, toughens ties
Attraction that dyes

Even tiny eyes
Captures these moments up high
As the sun's tail dyes

Whinging is contagious around here,
I just never met Mr. Right, my dears,
But I have met some right players,
Like loverat Mr. Liar,
or Mr. *******, too bad,
Then there is Mr. Player,
or Mr. *******, too bad,
Then there is Mr. Douchebag,
Yes, whinging is contagious here,
Too bad I never met...

No words can describe what you do to me
You inject in me some sort of venom-like sweetness
Mind and body erase
Making room for feeling and admiration
On my side of thought, you merely despise me
You leave me in melancholy wonder
Melting me like a candle, I become so...

Mothers and Daughters

Life forces us to grow up
Hardship makes us want more
Hard communication toughens souls
Mistakes are made no matter what

Mothers Love fondly
Daughters Love fonder
Both eyes at one time wondered
Anger sometimes hungered...

Painful memories made childhood real
Mother's Love made those pains heal
Time made a girl grow up

Welcome boys and girls, in my class you need to be,
Want to know how to get low, then you just follow me,
First ignoring everything your ma and pa did say,
That will be the first step, to get you on your way.

Now you need to sleep...

With tears and a broken heart, I sat alone in the church I grew up in.*
It was just 15 years ago, but life was simpler, and I was innocent back then.
Life is complicated now, and I needed time to myself to meditate and pray.
Perhaps I...

Whoever you are death will come, whether you are king, or simply scum. Wherever you go, death will follow, on Earth or Mars or even Apollo. No one escapes the angel of death, your spirit he’ll claim, with your last breath.

In moments of death, your...

They come in mad and mean, yelling and screaming
Scaring the office workers, and terrifying their children
Who grow up thinking coming in mad, yelling and screaming
is normal.  
Sorry. It is not.

We work in a school. We know who they are.
They are the ones who write...

We forget we are like trees, our roots run deep, and far they reach 
Unseen they mostly are, hidden out of side, so deep 
Some forget them, and their histories and from where they came 
Their mothers, mothers, mothers name 
And their fathers, fathers, fathers...

What sort of life can one be expected to live
When forced independence is bestowed upon thee
Disowned and made to discern the world alone
Toughens up a woman beyond any measure

Beneath soft skin lies a frozen will
Cold blood that runs throughout the veins
A relentless desire to fight...
