Best Unpredictable Poems
A giant magnet for young and old
Its many mysteries to unfold
For dipping toes in ebb and flow
Revealing wonders deep below
Calm and still like mirrored glass
Then raging wild a storm can blast
Giving pleasure, causing grief
Magnificent colour of Barrier Reef
Tossing sails yet lapping the shore
Sinking ships in times of war
Sometimes dark, it’s strength foreboding
Tempting too but fiercely goading
A home to fish of stunning hue
Reflecting the sky in shades of blue
Underestimated in its power
Challenging man oft forced to cower
Innumerable colours of blue and green
The prettiest shells you’ve ever seen
Home to coral iridescent and bright
Displays of foam in whirls of white
Dashing the coast in waves of thunder
Giving pleasure, then pulling you under
A background for artists, a playground for tots
Sometimes frightening, sometimes not
Dividing the world in all its glory
The source of many a heartfelt story
Healing the soul when darkness calls
Noisy too when seagulls squall
Shattering lives with remorseless pressure
Beckoning man to false endeavour
A home to many all afloat
Enormous tankers, a tiny boat
Unforeseeable eddies and tides
A gentle sail or risk-full rides
Relentlessly breaking on distant shores
Enticing man for evermore
A means for adventure, for voyages afar
Under sunny skies or a million stars
An erratic, moody source of fear
Taking lives once held dear
A timeless home for hidden treasure
For searching men, unequal measure
Plentiful food for man and beast
A meagre meal or a giant feast
A workplace and a surfer’s delight
A vast beyond - a beautiful sight
A constant means for flight or flee
The amazing, unpredictable sea

She’s a chameleon
The reflection
Of her surroundings
Changing on a whim
With the world around her
Unrecognizable
One day to the next
Swaying with the wind
No one knows her
Least of all herself
Toying with the hearts
Of those around her

~The Unpredictable~
Being judged changed her attitude
voluntarily her Communicating
will grow beyond, she will not feel trapped
or suffer her velocity will willfully create wrath
among those who had judged her.
Ready to show the whole world her shifting
to shipshape will let him yowl and hear
no echo.
She will make him feel she is superior
will dismiss her liaison with this family
will afford to brag about her brain its beauty
will feel attractive authentic her serenity
will serve to seek a security that will vanquish
who poured his venom over her.
The inner woman she knew which had lived
with a past suddenly became a stranger
changed to become overwhelmed with happiness
a rich soul.
She has been single skeptic since fifteen
years her decision will overcome her shyness
send a signal towards a special individual
who might cast his spellbound over
carry her as far away towards
A spiritual sphere.
Her appetite will become apparent to arouse
that aristocrat approve admire her personality
cruise towards a bright future.
A sensational life will begin abruptly, ignoring the abuse,
Welcoming freedom that will prevail towards her
adventurous encounter.
One of the biggest moments of her life when she would find
someone who still believes in love believes in the same
Goals and aspirations.
Then her adoration towards him will exude beyond a birth
she will amaze her companion with an angelic appearance
different allure.
She hadn't finished the sentence when she heard
the door creak it was him her first love
when younger in age.
The view enlivened her imagination remembering how
Yesterday he found her and asked if she was free
that happening for a reason of us meeting at the right time
right place will get us together create a beautiful home
for the near future that was his message.
They stayed in love since the creaking of that door.
Never did she travel backwards when escaped
her long past history of abuse being judged
over the years by her husband nightmares.

The morning sun falls
Noises awake, passing crowds
once quiet again
Stand on the cold feet
Dew still not fade by the lights
Sipping my hot tea
Rectangle door closed
The framework offers the view
My sight clustered straight
Enjoyed the greenish
While the sun turns into gloom
It's ready to rain

I think the rain has to be my muse.
Sheets of unbent rain does fall.
Threads of silver drifting down,
Flowing through my pen effectively
To quench my poetic thirst through verse
Impressive an unpredictable, it is,
Just like Mother Nature's moods.
It's so romantic and enlightening,
Or so raw and dramatic in it's fury.
The only thing predictable
Is the unpredictability of it's swarths.

Walking with you
Is a walk on the side of terror
With gentle breezes tickling your cheek
You can count on faith
To bring you to opportunities feet
With an empty mouth for the Spirit to speak
I giggle inside when I see Him
I see and follow, take in joy and swallow
THEN
Your presence consumes me
Like requited love’s passionate kiss
Resounding vibrations requiring the whole
To come on its white stallion
Swiftly catching the virtuous maiden
And one touch stills the quivering soul
Oh how you break my heart with your suffering
I take them to my breast, let them suckle as I lie on your chest
My words are uncertain
But probability births possibility
I simply can’t refrain
You move me out of fear into glorious heights
Where I pray hope and we play with dismantled ropes
The enemy used to drive them insane
I roar with laughter in my happily ever after
Where your light captures my darkest night to
Feast forever on blinded sight

Just as every tale begins “once upon a time”
His life began the same with an unpredictable character
Where he learnt it from can’t be told, because he was cold
Disappointment was his first name
Anytime he was told about his unreliable character
He behaved like a maniac
He laughed with people but later went round to stab them in the dark
He did not give but always wanted to receive
Everyone was exasperated because of his behavior
Because of his hostility, he became a hustler
It was very difficult for him to preserve his human dignity
His life of hostility culminated in disaster
Just as every tale ends “happily ever after”
His life ended with sorrows and regrets

Here lies Wilma Nolene Neels
Kind spirited with a fickle demeanor,
a surprise package at birth
she constantly kept them guessing on earth…

Epitaph
Today,We may be close
to our loved ones
But tomorrow,
We might turn up
being complete strangers.
Before,You would have
never ceased to put a smile on
somebody's face
But now,You could be
the only reason for their
firmness and gloominess.
Hence,frankly speaking..
"Memories have no Death"
Whenever you feel dejected
just remember
few joyful hearts...
You'll surely feel glad.!!

My emotions are unpredicted,
going from hyper and energetic to depressed,
and From angry to empty.
One emotion can last for day or hours,
And they are not brought on by anything.
Even the saddest of moments cannot bring me down from a high,
And happy moments cannot always bring happiness.
Sometimes the emptiness takes over my body,
causing a lack of emotion,
making me a zombie.
Sometimes I wake angry,
or am angered by things that are I should not be.
I feel out of control
unable to predict what I will feel.
Others just think I am moody or on my period,
but this disrupts my relationships and my life.
I wish my emotions were not so unpredictable.

Earthquake broke out
Disaster came
No prevention but salvation
Fate is to be blamed or
God is to be blamed
Loss of properties
Deaths
Destructions to landscape
Countless and unpredictable
Where compensations won't work
Salvation will be
The most important part
They do their parts and
God will do the rest
People will come back when it's over
And life will start all over again
They have the courage to come back
But not the courage to leave the place vacant
Why
Just as puzzling as
Why should they suffer from an earthquake
For centuries

The greatest mystery of world is life.. Where we are, where we were, where we will be..
Nobody knows what life will bring for us..
Although we are waiting to see a rise of life..
The change of colors indicates the time of death..
Until we are wistful to see a future of life..

She was raised in a place where it can barely be called home.
At night if the third eye is not activated you will wake up dead.
Attempts to save her mother from crossing over are being made.
She moves out and starts searching for a place she never knew
She is a women now , she is tougher then before , her bones are heavier
What she wants she gets unlike before when she had to beg for it
Power to her who has seen and been through it all and is still here
Determination is a definition of her , she made it with her faith
She meets her soulmate , in Paris he proposes in front of all the surroundings.
Life can not get any better than this, she bets . everything was worth it
He does the worst than having an affair , she feels shattered
A gun is in her hands , she points it to him without a blink she fires.
She glares at other prisoners as they keep themselves occupied.
She regrets non of her actions that brought her to such a place
She sits on her bed and laughs like funny events keep taking place
She is mad . it has come to this it seems , what lessons did her struggles teach her ?.
