Best Uncontainable Poems
*This is NOT meant to be morbid, alarming or negative. Most people who have seen my poems, know that I am positive often. It is realistic. I am a factual person, so it is based on facts, not panic. It is regards to the Coronavirus (Covid-19)
Over the years, I have had Cancer, Lyme disease, Head traumas and I have a heart issue.
Realistically, I know that if I get this, it is nearly or will be a death sentence for me
I have had many near death experiences in my life and I am fortunate to survive, I am a fighter!
I am also a survivor who prepares with action for any crisis and with faith gained strength to do so
So, I have been watching the Covid-19 virus evolve and spread around the world quickly
It is the most contagious illness that I have ever witnessed and it seems to be uncontainable
I also know what our hospitals are like where I live, which has often been very poor treatment
So, I am facing truth to what may or may not happen, as I prepare as best as I can
I also know what it is like to lose someone suddenly to death without a chance to say goodbye
This leads me to speak out today to everyone here and thank you all for your kind support
This does not mean I think I’m leaving for certain and if I escape this, I will certainly celebrate!
I hold onto gratitude closely in my life and I’m grateful for every bit of support I receive here
Thank you for reading my poems, becoming my friend, taking the time to leave nice comments
Some may ask why not wait to see if I am diagnosed with this first? Why rush to say this?
Because, I know by then, I may not be able to write this and I would never want it to be too late
I love this site. It has helped me through many things and taught me a lot too. It has become a part of my life since I found it.
So, thank you again with love for now and prayers to everyone here and I will keep writing!

OUR BOUNTIFUL GOD
Our God is bountiful because…
Eternal generosity never runs out of blessing remedies
They appear when least anticipated
Popping up – leaping out – capturing the unexpected
As lost pennies found with surprises bearing gifts
Trembling with anticipation of smiles and dancing laughter
Benediction of brightest benevolence
Love divine sent in daily, heavenly, valentines.
Valentine’s appear signed by love’s sweetest heart –
Hearts of God’s beatifying bounty not hidden
Found in clouds and rocks, in garden harvest consecrations
Beloved bliss overflowing –never empty - no refills needed –
Greeting cards of extravagant grace – no signature or postage due –
Bound in mercy’s lace impervious to time.
Love divine sent in daily, heavenly, valentines.
God’s bursting bounty of abundant grace filled with delights –
Warehouse shelves of mercy’s lavish greeting cards inexhaustible
Divinity’s heart throbs in love letters – no conditional caveats –
Always a dedication to beloved children even prodigals
With an everlasting toast of grace spoken over miracles
Postmarked invitations to jubilees sealed with eternity’s kiss
Love divine sent in daily, heavenly valentines
Tender devotion more enduring than resurrected bones once lost to time
Revelation’s paper hearts edged in fragrant incenses of filigree
Abounding generosity – uncontainable – exalting felicity
Written in messages of consecrated majesty
Surging elegance refined in the refiners purifying fire
Unfettered favor, the ever open hand, solace of the heart’s desire.
Love divine sent in daily, heavenly, valentines
God is bountiful because…

When passion fails, love remains
Hills flattened and thus will your obstacles
Even if it seems impossible
No one can withstand possibilities
Day after day try not to lose hope
Abilities pops up like mushrooms
Yielding to negativity isn't going to help
Sooner you need to change your mind set
A day sets with new possibilities
Right now it's time to wake up and-
Erase the past that holds you back
Digging down my soul revealed a truth
Ambiguous visions translate to nothing
Rivalries suppresses innovative minds
Killing negativity gives birth to success
Finding your passion and dwell on it
Releases zest that keep's hustling alive
Intimidated by success is lethal
Erecting a tower with positivity is the foundation
Neither the storm of disappointments can win
Demolished goals can be rebuild again
Surrendering taking up a mission is cowardice
Active mind ignite uncontainable victory
Realization of a dream starts with one step
Endeavour to take a step forward each day
Fulfillment doesn’t limit industrious men’s vigor
Evicting indolent thoughts he does best
While they rest, i keep busy because I can rescue me!

We are always in Freud’s view,
blocking his visions
trying to contain ,
attempting to define,
psychoanalysis is
an uncontainable luxuriant over inflated
example of this.
Another green or hot -housed is the
the book itself and its cover
Becoming Freud ,the concept ‘s behind his birth
is part of Yale’s
Lives of the Quaint
which requires of the author not only
a present of Freud
but even goes off side
to make it “Jewish” as well.
There being no ingenious way,
he was so far
round this issue,
Phillips gives Freud’s
Jewishness a conveniently
unbiographical treatment.
At times so unscientific
as to be indeterministic,probably.

LOVE shoves us into glistening meadows,
Of unimaginable warmth, where ecstasy glows
LOVE also leads us to teary graves,
Of uncontainable darkness, where pain enslaves
So, teenage girls trotting over,
To find the four leaf clover
I say, leave love to the absolute brave
‘cuz, It’s more than just a fluttering rave!

Flipped Hourglass
Bits of unwrinkled sand, harried ageless seconds,
Rush through a narrow neck
Pushing to birth
Moments of elegance or horror
Shoving aside other grains
Like words of regret flowing unrestricted
Into a ballet arabesque of transparent history
Irretrievable
Uncatchable
Lost like a tear drop in desert sea dances
Prodigals or prophets unable to caress or cling
Only rush headlong into the past.
When Heaven’s hand flips the hourglass
Second chances dash forward,
Free flowing jive of refreshed possibilities,
To animate a nameless tidal stream
In a cadence of options
That takes no long lost baggage
Through gravity’s flowing fountain
Irresistible
Unstoppable
Choreography of charity recaptured
That speaks in immutable tones
Of free flowing grace.
Each spiraling grain speaks of steps renewed
Waiting to articulate
Gliding strides of spoken blessing
Or pirouettes of consecration
As one grain falls upon another
In a transparent time window,
With intervals of oblation tarantellas,
Irrepressible
Uncontainable
Until the dance routine runs its course
Dancers lie inert to hear echoes of eternity whisper
“Save your last dance for me.”

She bent her light around his happy
A symphonic complicency
Illuminating their velocity
He radiated her in semicircular lines
She his rainbow in a night sky
Uncontainable so he let her fly
He flew with her for a time
His notes traveling along her breeze
Harmonizing within those upper keys
He marveled at her lovely
Grasped at the edges of her infinity
Felt blessed by her fluidity
Yet her light travels to fast
His to hold only for a time
Eventually light travels a straight line
The essence of her in moon lit sky
With angel wings she makes her flight
Around his happy she bent her light
Dedicated to Bernard Colasurdo after rereading
the poem he wrote for his wife titled "A Love Letter"

In war there are no winners
just victims and sinners,
A few good soldiers with big hearts
who work tirelessly to do their parts,
Every day is a struggle to deal with
the enemy crossing lines,
One swift action of vindication,
begets another from the foes
vying for anhiliation,
The death of Osama has evoked
retaliation, taking down seals
in bouts of vexations,
The blunder of the Taliban is
transparent and shrewd,
There will never be peace if
terrorists continue to fuel the fires
of inflamed hearts,
They will keep provoking until they
unleash uncontainable wrath.......

Dramatic Monologue
I am fire and rhapsody in my private chambers.
Inside out, I am flourishing, animated, and measured.
My heart pumps owning the same conviction at age 15.
My hormonal sexual splendor surely must be the same
dense river I swam at 20.
In the mirror, I see only my ardor dancing,
my uncontainable flourish advancing.
As usual, I’m a firebird at the supermarket.
Trailblazing each aisle, I come to the dairy section.
The milk I buy is always on the lowest shelf of the frig.
Each gallon I inspect expired 3 days ago.
Swinging the frig door wide, I kneel before the milk.
I inspect gallons until I find one that hasn’t expired.
My rigid wooden kneecaps grind against the floor tile.
I extract the bottle, slowly rising to stand
and my glasses slide off.
I somehow snatch them before they fall on the floor.
I turn to place the bottle in my cart.
“Do you need help?”
She’s a face full of glowing concern.
That’s all I see.
“No, I think I’ve got it.
I’m always dropping my glasses.”
This archangel of milk bottles
vanishes.
My wings of fire are only cinders now.
The reason is plain to see.
From outside in, my expiration date has passed.

Prose Poetry
The dictionary is open
The pages fly beneath my fingers
My pen is poised but the sheet is blank
There are no words for this joy I’m feeling
There are no words for my joy
U-V-W-X and Y
Now I’m halfway through the Z’s
My pen is poised but the sheet’s still blank
There are no words for the joy of Jesus
There are no words for my joy
It’s inexpressible, it’s irrepressible
It’s like a boat lifted by the tide
It’s unexplainable, it’s uncontainable
Can’t find the words though you know I’ve tried
It’s unexplorable, unmetaphorable
The river is deep and the sea is wide
The river is deep and the sea is wide
The Holy Scriptures are open
The pages fly beneath my fingers
My lips are poised and my heart is full
I found a word for this joy I’m feeling
Only one word for this joy:
Hallelujah!

What is perfection?
Is it something that shames the edges of a ruler?
Does it consider a masterpiece to be blasphemy in its eyes?
Or is it a disease?
Cursed to people like me
People's so engulfed by the unobtainable
Uncontainable perception of how things
Should and could be
This has to be here
Here has to be there
There has to be somewhere God himself would envy
And in that itself I suffer
For what can the created imagine
That could hold interest of its creators creator
Im stuck in an oxymoronic life
Searching yet again unobtainable
Uncontainable perception of how things
Should or could be
I have a tight grip on perfection
Unaware that it has a tighter hold on me
A constant struggle of strength I was never mentally prepared for
Caught in a whirlpool of irony
I fight for perfection
and yet fight against it
So when I was losing I felt like I was winning
When I had the upper hand I was at a disadvantage
Fighting
But not really fight the
Self conflicting,
unforgiving,
powerfully,
convincing,
Simply,
difficult perfection that is myself
But I accept you now
Neither as gift nor a curse
But who I am
I am.. a perfectionist
So with the hands of an artist I grabbed hold to a brush
And painted, using perfection as my medium
I created a mural of sheer beauty along the borders of my sanity
Creating a frame around the life no one has ever lived
But I will

A different journey each time a light wave leaves your curves
The music hits home with each lyric that escapes your lips
A new high is launched as the heavens open
A new universe forms as the angels’ choir listens
Explodes into my life an internal turmoil like troops
A rollercoaster ride suspended in motion upside-down loops
At your thought my heart sings at the top of my voice
At your sight my left feet move like they wanna dance
When we touch – vertigo – my head spins a thousand revolutions
When you speak – purgatory – I hear angels crushing demons
I feel love, pain, loss and ecstasy
Experience joyful, everlasting memory
In your presence the outside world is blocked out into oblivion
The soul’s uncontainable shouts out like a free electron
You move like music to the beat on the dance floor
Your waves got me burning circles like a drifting car
My music travels to distant shores to discover your star
Until Venus cools over
You burn my tar
Until Mars greens over
You take me far

Love and secrets
Yearnings bottled up
Desires tangled
In thoughts in deliberations
Mute,
A voiceless heart
The fear unrelenting
Crushing my heart
My soul
Battering my confidence,
My resolve
Rendering me impotent,
Neutered
Mute
I can only be
Simmering deep inside
A love unproclaimed
Longing to burst forth,
Blosom.
Emotions seething
Raring to overflow,
A torrent.
Mute
I remain voiceless.
The anxiety, abounds
A thousand questions,
Unanswerable
Overloading my heart
A flood
The insecurities, petrifying
My tongue inanimate
Mute
I can only be
The emotion uncontainable
The desire, the yearning
Hammering at my heart,
Siege.
Sweeping all away
The doubts, anxiety.
Cleansing, Exorcising
But, Mute
Can I remain?

Oh, amazing girl, why do you sit alone,
What troubles you? Let me reveal
That you are God’s own masterpiece,
A creation carrying a divine touch.
God, in poetic mood, wove you into being,
Carefully blending beauty and grace
Into every fiber of your existence.
Know this, dear one, you are an artful creation,
Sculpted by the hands of the divine.
Every hue and shade, from the vast universe,
Finds its reflection in your being.
You are a canvas adorned with creation’s vividness,
A living embodiment of colors that dance
And harmonize throughout the cosmos.
Do not let the weight of this foolish world
Eclipse your light. You possess an iridescent radiance,
Uncontainable and bright.
Let your colors flow freely,
Like a majestic river through existence,
Allowing them to intertwine and blend,
Creating a symphony of hues that resonates
In the souls of those fortunate enough to witness you.
Let the wind carry your vibrant essence,
Spreading it far and wide,
Touching lives in need of respite
From monotonous shades of existence.
Like a gentle breeze, bring love, healing,
And inspiration to weary hearts,
Longing for the touch of something extraordinary.
As twilight paints the sky with soft brushstrokes,
Let it tickle your eyes with wonder and awe.
Embrace dusk’s mystique,
Where day and night blend in blurred boundaries,
And let it remind you of your own enigmatic nature.
Just as twilight captivates with transient beauty,
You possess an allure of ever-changing,
Forever enticing those who dare to see beyond.
Oh, beautiful girl, despair not,
For you are a masterpiece in motion,
A living testament to divine artistry.
Celebrate your uniqueness, your greatest strength.
Let your colors flow, cascading like a waterfall of grace,
Enchanting the world with ethereal beauty
That resides within you, forevermore.
