Best With Respect To Poems


Premium Member A Promise

The soulful whisper of love’s promise
Is a deep but soft reassuring truth
Spoken while flowing like a flute
From within the soul to be heard
Another heart rests within knowing
This limitless promise is everlasting
To be shared in each valuable moment
Granted by each beautiful day to live
To cherish this promise of trusted unity
Is with respect to be forever gentle
This whisper will never strike to yell
Each heart will never break the other
It is pure as a white rose with dew drops
Delicate as a butterfly’s wings through air
This all created by faith to bloom and fly
Any sacrifice will be made as it is shared
When this is found, it will never be lost
Not even by death, it will still carry on
A soulful promise from earth to heaven
It all begins from the truth of a whisper

Premium Member The Color of Life - Green Contest

New life springs from loves palette, 
          natures evolving partner, casting
          youth with its brush.  Life's lushness
          exuded from its hue, tinting imagination
          with its fanciful evolution, bringing animation
          into being.  Green, the color of motion
          with respect to time, the blood of hope,
          its essence cherished, its value priceless.
          Green, a perception of dimensions to be,
          not lost to age or ravaged by complaint.
          Green, the ultimate invitation to live, to 
          be as great as intentions are meant to know.
          Green, eternal to its nature, reaching for 
          all that we aspire to become...The Color of Life.

Silent Destruction

The violent 'V'
Disguised in a black rain coat
Dancing the meadow

Gone undetected
A moment of destruction
Silently Creeping

Ravishment rising
Displacing time, hope, lives, dreams
Silent aftermath

"I wear my hat as I please, indoors or out"
-Walt Whitman

I walk the land as I want,
the flutter of the dove shudders my 
eyelids, dodging my step.
My soul, linking all souls, passes through 
trees on my trail, bounding among planets 
glimpsed between the apex of pine. I have 
no fear of being beyond my body, nor 
does the seed that falls from spent flower, 
anguish beyond time. The unseen bloom, 
millenial light-years away, shares 
inherent liberty. Many will gather these 
words and hold them to the highest light, 
that of our Creator, whose compassion 
trifles not with material gain, but with 
justice and liberty for all living things,
(equal with respect to all previous 
sufferings and triumphs centuries before) 
So it is with high diligence I value the true 
compass of man and woman, forever 
linked with our inalienable rights, as 
nature intends.

Premium Member Sacrament of Baptism

The day of Pentecost, Church celebrated
Administered Holy Baptism
St. Peter declares
“Repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit”

The apostles offer baptism to anyone who believed in Fr. Christ Jesus
You will be saved
You and your household
St. Paul declared to his baptized and with all his family

Baptism is birth into the new life in Fr. Christ Jesus
In accordance with Lord God’s will
It is necessary for salvation
As the Church herself, we enter by Baptism

Baptismal grace includes forgiveness of original sin
Birth to a new life by man becomes an adopted son of the Father
A member of Fr. Christ
A temple of the Holy Spirit

Those who die for faith
 All those without knowing the Church under the inspiration of grace
Seek God sincerely, strive to fulfill his will
Can be saved even if they have not been baptize

With respect to children who have died without baptism
The Church invites us to trust in God’s mercy
The angel of Lord God said
The babies are safe in heaven

Beauty of the Beads

Beauty of the beads,
It’s a description of multi-colours.
Which are tiny like the seeds,
Carefully, arranged in linear order in fours.

Beauty of the beads,
Some Africans wear around their waist.
To charm and entice men with deeds,
As others tie them on their wrist.

Beauty of the beads,
Which portray the local culture and tradition.
Although, it’s not feeds.
But, with emphasis on heritage and generation.

Beauty of the beads,
When in motion, there’s a sound.
Like a clash of the heads,
Sometimes, spins or go around.

Beauty of the beads,
Contrary, to the story ‘Beauty and the beast’.
As they’re characters of the movie leads,
With respect to their journey from west to east.

Premium Member Juxtaposed Awareness

JUXTAPOSED AWARENESS

On and within the fullness 
of this beautiful sunshine day,
I peacefully sit here pondering 
the present chaos of the world.

How awe confusing…it all is–
outside, flowers are blooming,
birds and butterflies are soaring,
and the quiet wind peacefully blows.
.
But within the physical and spiritual me,
there seems to be a battle for power control
over which system is the most in control when
it comes to sustaining me physically and spiritually.

Indeed–within–the heart seems to challenge
the brain, while expansion and restraint tease
the soul and spirit with respect to focus and divine
wisdom and guidance in oneness of mission purpose.

Here at home and around the rest of the world, atrocities
continue within its circumference: supporting inequality,
denying climatic change, ignoring human disasters,
and pimping war; all deemed…apt power aides.

Indeed, as I sit here looking out into the Godly beauty
of nature’s canvassing in the springtime, all is painfully
sighted and sourly tasted by the awareness of the chilling 
wind of change murderous war is bleeding onto peaceful life.

Once more and again–we hued–wherever we may be
in our sojourn, are caused to detour round-about-focus of
empathy to drop off aspiration, inspirations, hope, faith, and
collective actions, to physically and spiritually aid victims of war-
mongering power-viral infected oppressors we all battle in common.
 
As I sit here gazing out/into this beautiful canvassing of nature,
hell flaming fires are wreaking devilish havoc not too far away and
at the same time, bombs shred life and spread their collateral pains;
all leaving peace to be realized in the spirituality of the actions of love.

As the “round-about of nature leads us back to the sojourn pathway
our ancestors left and foot-printed for us, let’s move on past syndrome 
roadblocks and continue to cover miles of awareness–honking honks–echoing
to all the world that “...our equanimity too, is essential to world harmony.”

Oblivion

Remember me
as colours fade away and brooks dry away and nature cry the day
 
Remember me
if your eyes ever cried or hands ever shook or body ever shivered
 
Remember me
if the day turned night and there was no light to make the shadow appear
 
Remember me
for all the long days we spent far away and burned notes of lovers steam
 
Remember me
if you ever got lost and nothing lead the path but a spectrum of my past
 
Remember me
when the room split in half's and curtains roll around and gohsts come around
 
Remember me
if the clock struk once and the time was done like nothing ever begun
 
Remember me
if my life fade away, and no one decided to stay on my grave with respect to pay
 
Remember me
if my word ever knocked the doors of your house and sneaked through the window to find nothing alike!!?
 
Remember me
if time ever stopped and my soul was dropped before you as a broken glass
 
Remember me
when the weather gets cold, when the sun never rise and it rains so hard
 
Remember me
if you felt what I felt and drowned with regreat for a life apart spent
 
Remember me
as an angel of night who failed to protect your heart from the judgement of a crule knight

Non-Duality

With respect to digestion, we talk of two fates
The absorptive and post absorptive states.

Think of a meal as earning a wage.
You may use a bit but you’ll save some, if sage.
And the ratio is something you always must gauge.
It can certainly change as one does age.

Up to four hours after a meal
Before your insides are resting from their zeal
Insulin is governing lots of the chemistry
In your body’s energy registry.
It promotes glycogenesis, glycogen production
The storage of glucose, a major reduction.
Lipogenesis will also take place
After a meal at an increased pace.
And of course, protein synthesis also increases
As your body builds up new pieces.

But after four hours, post absorptive will dominate
And glucagon is the hormone that it will nominate.
It will cause the breakdown of things that were built
So that sources are available when you need them to the hilt.
It promotes glycogenolysis, the reverse of the above
Because now your blood glucose might need a shove.
Lipolysis, too, is also promoted
Proteolysis as well, just as devoted.

While insulin and glucagon both promote their actions
They also inhibit the other’s reactions.

Premium Member Let Me Tell U of My Thinking Realm

Let it be known to me and to you that the longlove, now lost, I gave to you was all forged, frought in a forevertime frame as a socio-dick-tated male rank referendum , and not a "for free" from within my inner soulstice serenity; neither nor neo gotiated in an aforementioned annointed another's pro/con parental preference that coincides with a pre/pro/com

I Got a Rock

On Halloween I always get a rock everywhere I go.
I decided to retaliate by throwing their rocks through their windows.
I never even get one piece of candy, that really blows.
I'm so ignorant that I cut my costume full of holes.
I look absolutely ridiculous and dorky in this stinking sheet, I don't even look like a ghost.
I'm paying people back for their unkindness, especially Lucy because she deserves it the most.
Last week Lucy told me to kick the football but I kicked her in the head.
She told her father and he started choking me, I thought I was dead.
When he got through strangling me, I dropped two Cherry Bombs down his pants.
I blew off his privates and now when he wants to give his wife some loving, he can't.
When people used to do mean things to me, they would laugh.
But now they treat me with respect to avoid my terrible wrath.
