Best Ventured Poems
We could no longer in our four walls stay!
We longed to see the sun and smell the breeze.
Seemed all around us Nature sang, "Come play!"
We could no longer in our four walls stay!
We ventured out one sunny winter day,
and to the park we went to see the trees.
We could no longer in our four walls stay,
while all around us Nature sang, "Come play!"

Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained

Many people will avow,
to being risk adverse.
In discussing this point,
they often become terse.
if we can’t stick our neck out,
without undue fear.
We’ll be like the tortoise,
and not get anywhere.
Sometimes a decision,
causes life to seem bleak.
But risk is always commensurate,
with the reward we seek.
She ventured out into the stars
Though a stranger to their realm
Bright lights flashing roundabout her
Would perhaps they overwhelm
This sweet young maiden, fair but frail
Who'd braved the nighttime skies
Who'd quit the Earth, for there she'd felt
That all Hope for Life and Light had died
Never look through a window, never go through a door
If you are wary of what lies behind, you never will explore
If you make this decision, you may see things that you like
But there are maybe things that are not, this for you is your right
Many have looked through a window, and many have gone through the door
Its because we are all very different, for that you can be sure
If nothing is ever ventured, then nothing is ever gained
Those who desire never to venture, never gain or witness the pain

Who were these men
who stood on deck,
and sailed the seven seas?
To hoist the sails,
and tell the tales
throughout the centuries.
Navigation by the stars
to islands then unknown,
like bitter root or passion fruit
the seeds of wisdom sown.
Adventure bound, they left home port
though some did not return.
They chased their dreams,
but met their fate
to sink or swim or burn...
When their hourglass is empty,
and the sea has laid it's claim,
will history mark these sailors,
or even know their names?
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
is that the measure of a man?
The truth for each - it lies within
they sail.... because they can.

I ran to the forest
Fought with serpents
Returned a wolf
Gangs to packs,
To being an alpha
Bookworms and nerds
To being a geek
G the great,
Passing like there's no stop
Like there's no stopping,
Working my magic
like there's no ending,
The great work to the long walk
Followed by shadows
Guided by the light,
Silent be me
Simmy be my friend,
Little is my flowers but
How big and great my garden is,
The field of I
The mind im mining,
To the gold I discovered
The past is my memory
The long walk is my journey,
Leaves of autumn to blossoms
In the spring, O how I sprang
To how I sprint,
no one can catch my flow
Of waters, O the great blue
To the shores, that I have transcended,
Gimmicks' to true worth
Power's of the dragon
colour of the sun,
Bright as the moon
The Creative force
Women and man I support
Son of god, son of all
Praise the lord,
Ventured to the abyss
Came back to save all.
Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained
(Cream Rises To The Top)
Miracle Man
May 23, 2023
In life, no natural law or proclamation, ever decrees,
that a day started badly must continue that path.
Through our daily encounters we can still breeze,
if negative thoughts are interred in the aftermath.
Keeping pace with others only makes one mediocre,
and the success of the draw will be unsatisfying.
Cream rises to the top is not the attitude of a choker,
and success will find those not averse to trying.
Path I Ventured Down Was Censored
Down certain path why would I have ventured,
To a certain place that they actually censored,
Bawdy was being;
Not worth seeing,
And I now do regret that it ever had occurred.
Jim Horn
You were a labyrinth into which I ventured with desire,
the threads of your words weaving me tightly,
a mortal caught in an endless tragedy, a myth.
Each kiss was an elegy of falling stars,
each touch, a funeral song of the deep night.
You wore your sadness like a crown of shadows,
and I—your destined fool—bowed under its cursed brilliance.
Tell me, beloved:
if love is a crucible of destiny,
was my heart the precious ore you refined,
or the forgotten dross cast into the winds of oblivion?
And even now, I wear your absence like a mantle of burning fire—
a seal of ruin woven into my soul, which I cannot unravel.
We walked where no other had ventured
We walked into the corners Heaven
Where clouds fill your view
Healing everything, on
The golden path
Leading to the golden gates
Glowing, shouting Hallelujah
Tall and grand
Joy filling the air
Filling your lungs with sweetness
Breathing deep satisfying breaths
Angels floating above
Your heads with halo's
And wings of silk, soft, and gentle
The sun, glorious is in view
As you float along, wearing,
Gentle gowns, of warm cotton
Everything resembling
Our loving Father
Peaceful and loving
Everything in Harmony
Music is playing softly
Filling your ears
As you and all the others
Watch the world below, thoughtfully
We walked where no other had ventured
In the corners of Heaven
We walked into the depths of Hell
We walked where no other had ventured
Where fire burns forevermore
Destroying everything, but
The living, who are there
To be tormented forever
By the flames of sins they have committed
Reminding them every waking hour
Of the choices they made
The gates, dark and black
Wrought iron, reflecting the glow
Smoke filling the air
Filling your lungs making
Breathing impossible
Little orange creatures
With 280 black ragged teeth
And pointy tails
Rough rigid scales
And eyes resembling
That of their master, Satan
Dirty yellow, and burning with anger
The floors coal
Hotter than the sun
But walked on by all
The sky high above
Smoke filled, and blood red
We walked where no other had ventured
In the depths of Hell
