Best Valour Poems

WOMAN OF VALOUR. 
where art thou gracious woman.
Peaceful being, strength and beauty at your fingertips.
Adams fantasy, Eve's descendant.
A trophy you are, A queen like Esther.
A child of royal priesthood 
You shall strut on a bed of roses.
God's grace and mercy at your favour.
Where art thou...

DISCRETION IS THE BETTER PART OF VALOUR


The river has run dry, its bed is empty  sand.
Across the flower carpet’s  dim and dusty land
Penstemon and brave little Brittlebush,
Expecting an inundation, stretch in a rush -  
Spreading  petals and leaves which their vast
Tapestry...

Decisions, decisions
So much to assess, 
So many pitfalls, fear is ubiquitous

What if you open the wrong door?
What if you don’t like what you discover?
Then you just deal with the consequences, 
if you leave it close, you will always wonder…

So be bold and open that door

Courage is the pivot between cowardice and recklessness

harmony for the brave soul as reward for stout-heartedness


I used to enjoy pints of Guiness with a few drams alongside

Seventy-eight
A number, a heartbeat, a nation's pulse
Freedom's rhythm, syncopated with time

Tricolour dreams billowing in the wind
Saffron courage, white truth, green hope
Ashoka's wheel-spinning tales of unity in diversity

From Kashmir's peaks to Kanyakumari's shores
Independence echoes
In the clamour of cities
In the quiet of villages
In the laughter of children...

Talk of True Valor
And it is ‘Sailor’,
Not ‘Confined Tailor’;
Quite Mobile Sailor,
Not Static Tailor
Facing Cloth and Color; 
In Shops of Pallor 
Pin Pricks of Dolour…

Sailor: where storm lies! 

Tailors work and chant,
Sailors for merchant.
They don’t flee from Rum; 
Rum helps them to hum...

ABHIMANYU IN CHAKRAVYUH

A serene tranquil aura of Subhadra’s son,
Possessing Arjuna’s valour and virtues abound;
Lord Krishna’s blessings armouring shielding him,
Calm placid lionhearted Abhimanyu!

Adept in warfare second to none,
Dauntless unflinching a paramount warrior;
Acclaimed applauded for his heroic deeds,
A defender of harmony, an apostle of peace!

Righteous conduct dignified...
