Best Win Back Poems
A Space Trip to Remember
The couch and foot stools were delivered today, and while they were carried in…
Yes, Dragon and the penguins, commandeered the boxes quite quickly, settling in.
They put them at the top of the hill, where they could see the purely, open sky.
Then took off in their spaceships, going higher, and higher, and higher, to fly!
They wanted to be the new aliens: exploring the moon, the planets, and the stars.
They wanted to be a part of the final frontier, and were… in their creative minds.
The big box was the mother ship; the smaller were the fighters and the scouts.
For you never know what awaits out there, in the great beyond, with all its routes.
Once they turned a tad to fast, while trying to miss a great big sun!
Their boxes fell over, dumping them solidly, then, upon the ground.
But nothing seemed to matter as they rolled quickly down the hill.
They came up laughing, with their stun guns in hand, solidly set on chill!
So they climbed that mountain high, to stealthily win back their beloved ships!
In the end they invited the intruders found, to lunch, before taking off again!
The rings of Saturn would be theirs to hold, before the beginning of night.
And they took out their balloons, to contact a gaseous nebula, in their sights.
Bubble blowing was the language of the universe, as they flew among the stars.
And when the stars came out that night… They wanted to stay a little longer!
Dreams that night, were of stardust when they finally went to seek their beds.
Oh, if I could only be young again! I’d join them just, one more time, I said!

Light Verse
Ever soul is like a star
Even though we're far apart:
One day life will kindle it's flame
In star and human, all the same.
Every moment we live longer,
Getting tougher, getting stronger.
Until our inner light shines through
And win back what we used to lose.
Til we're down on our last breath
And who's come for us but himself, Death.
A hole we'll leave when we have gone
Yours in space float upon
While mine is in my dear kin's hearts;
Every soul is like a star.

just in few moments
as the dusk obscures the sky
lids cover my eyes
my mind begins to reckon
the things I’ve done the whole day
a flurry it was
missing the sun in your eyes
my heart in regrets
didn’t sing you song last night
or gave you right back sweet hugs
now I sing my song
but ice cream melts on its cone
what else will I do
to win back the love from you
and make me smile and heart grows
plead down so deeply
asking you not to leave me
I am so sorry
this is the best melody
be sung in my poetry
I hope you can hear
song being played in G-Clef
lonely but lovely
Tanka Song with love I sing
hoping to ease all our pains

Surrender makes the Heart at ease
when the heart is on over load and can’t be pleased
Though life is full of much disgrace
I turn the other cheek and give my face
A sweet surrender to be heard
A sweet surrender to the hurt
I give my everything to you
Although my everything is used
Who will be the one to change this pain?
When there's nothing to be gained
My load so heavy -my soul so weak
I toss and turn and smell defeat
But I will wait for mercy to pour down
One day I will win back my crown
I surrender it all for this is not my home
A Sweet surrender to be heard
A sweet surrender to the hurt
I give my everything to you
For I know one day I will be made brand new.....

Ballad
A Man for All Seasons.
Well Barack Obama has won a last,
The Country swayed like barley grass.
We all look forward beyond today
The people now have had their say.
The World still spins around and round
But squares itself for a brand new sound.
For hope it resonates, what a noise
A sound at last we all enjoys.
A wind of change is blowing through,
Every Country has a field of view.
Looking for this Man to lead
To banish hate and cooperate greed.
To be the saviour of this World
Accept that flags will be unfurled,
It only goes to state a case
That once there hoisted we must embrace.
That each and every man that lives
Has to face the fact he gives,
We live today to save tomorrow
We all are here on time we borrow.
What will happen now I ask
To such a big almighty task.
Let’s grab our balls and trust to luck
And ask the World to give a ####!
We have a guy who will win back
The prejudice of being black
It’s nothing new you know it’s right
I say black and you say white.
We’re all the same it is plain to see
Though some of course will disagree
The ignorant and short of mind
Those that tarnish all Mankind.
But hope is here and we all pray
That its foundations, solid stay.
We finally have given push
And uprooted that old bush.
The garden of this World is clear,
All choking weeds will disappear.
As we look forward with good reason,
Barack Obama.
A man for all seasons..

Rhyme
Bobby believed in love at first sight,
he wanted to get everything right-
Asked Laurie on a date-
but he showed up too late,
he hurried home and started to write.
Tried to find a way to say sorry,
put him in a difficult query-
Writing sure wasn’t his style,
so after a long while,
he knew how he could win back Laurie.
Asked her to come over for dinner,
thought, “man I could sure be a winner!”
She walked in overweight,
in profile pic looked great,
he said, “online you sure looked thinner!”
She kicked him where the sun never shined,
then said, “do you have any more wine?”
She ate all the dessert,
then she started to flirt,
ran to the bathroom and took her time.
“You’re sure crazy to think you could stay!
So what do you think you would convey?
My nuts are all shrunken,
you’re a crazy drunken,
and you even broke my darn bidet!”

Limerick
My tech of nology is some what limited
Even when I try to get things printed
But to transfer pictures is testing me
Failed to connect keeps harrassing me
Tech of nology is a crazy puzzle
Has tied my mind into its muzzle
To think of a plan of what that might be
I decide to make a nice cup of tea
But impatient am I or a fool I may be
I begin to embark my challenging journey
The memory card will not work
And bluetooth is making me feel like a berk
Do I confess and give up now?
Or carry on with my prowl?
I take a deep breath and count to ten
I will win this and transfer them
I remove the card to check it's ok
Then put it back in, but the wrong way
So here I am with this new struggle
Stuck it is, oh I'm in a muddle
A needle, a toothpick I did apply
The tweezers I know, I will give them a try
My choices of tools I was desperate you see
To win back my card my phone kept from me
As I pulled and tugged as hard as can be
It shoots straight out into my cup of cold tea
Fingers dives in and fumbles around
To my relief the card quickly found
A blow on the card and a gentle shake
Come on card give me a break
Placed on towel paper to dry
A warm blow from the hairdryer next I try
More thoughtful this time I insert the card
But no it's still just a bit to hard
I cuss at myself for being so silly
Win I will, I'm a determined Milly
Finally inserted I am ready to go
I press the buttons but alas it's a no
No pictures was found they are lost in the sea
By the mug of my cold cup of tea

Nothing has left but these plenty of clothes
Not even the burden from the past
Not even happiness that had last
Out of the wonderland is the last destination
Living in the world that swept all the love
You find your first love but you fail to grip it along
Failure is not the last word of your journey
Second story would be pleased to fill the other pages
Diving in a depth of relationship
You learn how life is challenging
You learn how to embrace your mistakes
You learn how to accept it
Smoke filled your lungs
You tried to release it
But it dwells within its stain
No complain after all
Nevertheless life never play easy on you
The first, second or even third needle of time would not turn back
Though everything has already in place even it's right or wrong
The word of regret never persuade you to give up
For everything has done for a reason
For everything meant to be beautiful
Though everything has happened just happened
But your sweet love one day would change your world
With this clarity you will make your world
With this sincere heart you will find your love
With this strong character you will win back your life
Life in a box of a suitcase teaches you how to live a life

Free verse
When we met that day, we were strangers at bay
Seeking a companion, my eyes met yours with gay
An unwritten bond enveloped you and me
Destined to be life partner everyday
Days and months and years passed
Our relationship changed tracks by the way
My love demanded sex, yours sought commitment
Life seemed a chore, none of us had a say
Love borne out of compulsion, we became partners at bay
Our love was blind, exposed day by day
Years down the line, my eyes have opened
Only to realize you say to my love “nay”
Is it too late! – am afraid you shall never
Meet my eyes with love and gay
Sitting alone with lost hope to win back your commitment
Come back O Dear’, I wait for that day

Lyric
You know both of us never wanted this,
our lives now are anything but bliss.
I can't wake up in the morning feeling joy,
instead I feel like I'm a broken toy,
Never to be repaired and set in a box,
and not knowing how to undo the locks.
Locks that you've set up in your heart,
and yet I wonder if they were there from the start.
Pleaded my case, mind and heart to you my dear wife,
feeling that I have no choices in my life.
If you want everything to end then just say it,
and I will end my devotion although hard to admit.
I still imagine waking up to you by my side,
you know you can't sit back and say I didn't try.
We're both at the dead end of a marriage.
I've tried everything I know to try and win back your trust and love,
seems like the future of our lives is determined by the almighty up above.

Rhyme
It was a marvellous, sparkling affair
Everybody they had invited was there.
Friends and relatives from both families
Filled the small country church with ease.
They said their ‘I do’s’ then exchanged a kiss
The looks on their faces were of identical bliss.
This was the day they had planned for so long:
It was all so perfect, nothing had gone wrong.
The beautiful bride in her white wedding dress
Felt like she was a fairy-tale princess.
With her handsome groom standing at her side
She felt her heart swell and fill with pride.
There was a time when she doubted she would see
Their plans come to this eventuality
For opposition had stood in their way:
Putting in doubt the coming of this day.
A jealous former lover, full of spite
Tried with all her wiles and might
To win back the heart of the man she once loved
But his heart was cold, stony and unmoved.
Her campaign was ended by the arm of the law
Knocking authoritatively upon her front door.
Then arresting her and throwing her in jail.
Ensuring her plans of disruption would fail.
With glasses raised and to the sound of loud cheers
And with love and best wishes ringing in her ears
She feels tears of happiness well up once again.
And drip unchecked into her glass of champagne.

Through experience, we find knowledge, wisdom, and patience. Think carefully about each step you take, for each
movement is vital not only to your own path, but to the universal duality of action and reaction. Though these vital
progressions often consist of mistakes that cannot be undone, they can certainly be countered and redeemed by
future acts. With this in mind, go- and don't fret over past mistakes. Instead, embrace these mistakes; for it is
through these mistakes that we gain mother earths most valuable lessons; lessons of:
Peace.
Love.
Unity.
Respect.
Far and wide, the human eye denies the lies of our logic, and this ill sense of pride we feel is leading us further from
the light of truth. Those of us that still feel this truth- the dreamers- must fight for justice, and win back the future of
our blinded tribe. Seek truth, question authority, and never give up on yourself. Come hell or high water, we will
fight through the end, and we will fight not for prides sake, but rather for our morals sake- for the sake of future
generations, not these opposing blind obligations. For the sake of humanity and all that it has fought for, we will not
allow any more. The human spirit must marry peace, and remain with it until death do us part.

Free verse
Muses stray, as darkness beguiles the light
While poets sleep there casts a shadowed pall
Enchanted prose now languishing in blight
Night’s spell has ways of vexing what has been
Verse once unbowed is now seduced to crawl
The baleful Nyx has cast her nightly spin
The poet’s lot - to reignite the flame
The life inscribed in daylights metered rays
Are listless words as gloaming’s curse has tamed
Exhort your pen dear bard and foray hence
Win back this forlorn script from night’s malaise
Restore the sculpted word to present tense
Muses stray, as darkness beguiles the light
The poet’s lot - to reignite the flame
Note – Nyx (Greek Goddess of the Night)

Sonnet
I thought it was over,
I thought it wouldn't last forever.
It was part of my past,
Which I thought wouldn't last.
I was all alone again,
Kept thinking of you, handling the pain.
I tried to ask myself, "until when am I like this?",
But all I found is myself, talking to the bear, giving it a kiss.
Time to time I remembered our past,
That made me fell too fast.
A part of me felt so much regret,
The pain I've caused you, until now I can't forget.
I've caused you pain, but it is I who suffered,
It is I whom feelings remained unheard.
Tears fall unto my eyes,
Trying to wipe it until it dries.
Your words still linger on my mind,
Which made me felt sorry for being too blind.
A memory of our broken promise,
Which every night I would reminisce.
How I wish I could turn back time,
To the moment where You and I still rhyme.
How I wish I could undo the pain,
And walk with you under the rain.
Over the years I tried to forget everything,
Hoping that someday there's another guy that I would be meeting.
There are, I met few,
But none of the was ever the same as You.
My only desire is to win back your heart,
Rebuild the relationship even if we're miles apart.
For now, to have you is my prayer,
To bring back our sweet memories and romance, up until forever.

I trashed many deserving and precious loves in bloom
down my favorite path, where lovely lilacs grew;
I took everything they offered me with an eager hand,
but heartlessly buried thier worth underneath the cold sand...
How did I become too inconsiderate, too selfish...
by showing no regard for their genuine feelings?
They loved me as if I was the only man alive having only one constant wish:
to spoil me with kisses and keeping me warm in their passionate embraces!
I constantly bite my hyprocritical lips, thinking of what I have done,
and guilt pounds steadly inside to rebuke my unkind deeds;
they wanted friendship more than gifts and fun...
they are strangers now, ignoring my greetings!
Intentional or not, I pursued pleasure instead of amability,
taking advantage of their vulrerability, leaving their sincere hearts empty;
doesn't an impish child get what he wants with his annoying cries?
That was me, so insensible and unfair, stealing trust and affection to satisfy my urges...
How did awareness reduce me to this state of misery?
They caught up with my clever lies and shut the door into my face,
reminding me that all good friends are hurt by dishonesty;
and now how can I win back their trust and not be affected by old malice?
How did I become too inconsiderate, too selfish so driven by duality?
I put me first, leaving their intense desires behind;
they deserved to be understood and be truly loved,
without an indication of doubt from someone too impervious to their plea...
