Best Xenial Poems
Across the miles to where you are
beyond the highways, however far
chasing love inside my dreams
daring to believe you were there for me
even if I may never see you again
forever in my heart I will tend, and
gather my vivid memories of you
how we met under skies so blue
in summer fields beside the sea
jasmine scents wafting in the breeze
kindred spirits, that we were
love was born, our hearts were pure
much was said with only our eyes
neither noticed the dimming skies
over the course of time, we knew
parting had to come, winds blew
quickly towards the eastern shore
restless longings were no more
sullen skies drew us apart
tangled torment gripped my heart
until then, I thought you were mine
verily, I despaired our sad decline
when you sought to go, you left
xenial beginnings were now bereft
yearnings for you, I’ll never forget
zeal for you in dreams I’ve kept.

Zany and free spirited, Mr. Bungo is a one man show
Yodeling any song you like, doing the "old soft shoe"
Xenial to one and all, he can always charm the crowd
Wild and crazy is he, in a world of his own fantasy
Verily, a man of many talents, with his skits and tricks
Under a bright red canopy, he performs amazing feats
Tickling our fancy with imaginative tales of wonder
Somersaulting through hoops, landing on heaps of feathers
Rides around the ring on a wild, high strung ostrich
Quickly, Mr. Bungo jumps up onto tall stilts and
Parades through the crowd, while playing a kazoo
Odd and quirky, his clothes are colorful, bright and loud
No telling what Mr. Bungo might say or do next, he can
Mimic voices, impersonating a host of sounds and noises
Laughing, he loves to hear the audience roar and cheer
Kind, he tries to hide it, but has a soft spot for little kids
Just watch his face beam as he gives them animal balloons
I can spot tears forming behind his sad, light blue eyes
He has a soft heart, but doesn't want to show it, so he
Grabs his tall, silly hat, and springs back into action
Flinging himself into a rocket contraption, we watch
Eager to see what Mr. Bungo will do next, now sparks blast
Daring and brave, he rockets up into the air so high
Careful, Mr. Bungo, we don't want you to crash and die!
Barely, he escapes a tragic collision, he finally lands
And then Mr. Bungo bows, leaps up and does a hand stand.

Amazed with miracle healings of God
Braced am I to minister by His nod
Circumspectly following path He trod...
Doctor of heart heals* by His love’s power
Easing afflictions thru blessings’ shower
Fortifying health welfare to flower...
Guarding soul midst merciful concern’s care
Hoisting spirit toward good service-dare...
Illness inflicted by sins He can cure
Jesus is His name, my Lord and Saviour...
King of Kings, Physician almighty great
Life-Giver of heaven’s excellent rate
My life He does nourish with values' trait...
Nestling I am in His nursing nurture
Offered to exercise service-venture...
Praying to volunteer in reaching-out
Quieting miseries by fighting doubt
Restoring trust's loss with faith's prudent re-route...
Sharing the Gospel of salvation might
Testifying of His redemption-light
Upholding virtues of genuine goodness
Valuing all tasks by His graciousness
Working toward servanthood faithfulness...
Xenial to needy, offering comfort
Yielded I am to His compassion-fort
Zoomed to doing miraculous effort.
*Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised.

You’re my everything, my LORD AND my GOD.
Meanwhile, I claim no new answer
since I have learned, and am knowing WHO YOU ARE intimately
by my personal relationship with YOU through Scriptures’ assertions.
Indeed, YOU are the:
Alpha and Omega upholding me throughout eternity
Bread of life, blessing me with gracious bounty…
Christ Who’s the chief cornerstone of the church I belong
Deliverer and defender, enabling me to be strong…
Emmanuel Whose presence beautifies my essence
Faith-Author letting my trust-story glow with sublime iridescence…
Guardian, protecting my soul around regeneration seal
Holy One, imparting to me divine nature I can’t conceal…
Instructor, constantly exhorting me to obey commandments
Judge, always forgiving toward righteous engagements…
King Who deserves my service to the utmost
Lover so faithful beyond my fidelity’s cost…
Mediator I cling to for His spiritual advocate-role
Nourisher of my being, nurtured for heavenly goal…
Omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent Sovereign
Peace Source enriching me with reconciliation serenity-gain…
Quickening me toward born-again genuine revival
Redeemer ensuring my resurrection-upheaval…
Saviour Whose Shepherd-satisfaction suffices me verily
Teacher guiding my steps along His truth certainly…
Ultimate reason of my meaningful existence-zest
Victory causing every triumphant best, so blest…
Wonderful Counselor I seek against angst and doubt
Xenial in dealing with me around fellowship route
Yokefellow Who bears my load in discipleship-partnership…
Zealous leader I yield myself to in jubilant worship.
Indeed, You’re my everything, my LORD AND my GOD.
Without You, I am nothing. Thank You very much for loving me.
I love You, too. By Your grace, I live for You*
while ministering to others in Your name.
Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Quote: "I shall be like a tree planted by the river"
Amidst the orchard's verdant scene, I stand tall,
Beneath the azure sky, I hear the river's call.
Cherries ripe and red, like jewels they gleam,
Delightful treasures in this picturesque dream
Each blossom to cherry, a journey of sweet delight,
From dawn till dusk, in the soft glow of twilight.
Gentle breezes carry whispers through the air,
Harmony of nature, beyond compare.
"I shall be like a tree planted by the river's flow,"
Juicy fruits my bounty, in abundance they grow.
Kindred spirits, birds of all size and hue,
Lingering, feasting on cherries, fresh and true.
My friends gather 'round, with glee upon their face,
Noshing on cherries, a sweet embrace.
Overflowing baskets, a bounty to behold,
Pleasures of cherry picking, stories untold.
Questing for perfection in each cherry's hue,
Ripe with flavor, each one tried and true.
Seasons bring bounty, no pesticides in sight,
Trust the organic purity, cherries invite.
Underneath the cherry tree canopy, I find solace and peace,
Veiled in nature's beauty, my worries release.
With each passing moment, I learn to thrive,
Xenial with the world, in which I'm alive.
Yearning for wisdom, like leaves in the breeze,
Zealously embracing life's mysteries.

Abiding faith in the Lord
Blessed joy to me restored
Christ's love is beyond our grasp
Dwelling free from sin's death clasp
Everlasting life is found
Fullness of joy, peace abound
Giving thanks for all blessings
Hope of heaven, heart now sings
Immortal, I'm now God's child
Justified and reconciled
King of Kings is my Father
Led by Christ, my life's Author
Mediating for my sins
Nourished by His Word, grace wins
Overcoming flesh, I grow
Perennial mercies flow
Quietness reigns in my soul
Redeemed by His blood, made whole
Steadfast promises to hold
Trusting God as my Stronghold
Unchanging, He is with me
Vessel in His hand to be
Wonder-working God, I serve
Xenial charity verve
Yearn to live for His glory

When the Lord gives His bountiful blessings, the least one can do is be grateful..
An afterlife in heavenly abode awarded
Based on Biblical born-again experience
Christian choruses in choral cadence
Days of delight by delving deep in doctrines
Enriching encounters that encourage me
Friends forever and familial functions
Godly guidance and grand gestures of grace
Helpful homely ambience that holds me up
Insightful intelligent interpretation of images
Joyfulness found with a Just Judge
Keen kinship with the King of Kings
Limitless love of the Lion and the Lamb
Matchless Master's mystical mercies on me
New life necessarily found on the narrow road
Oasis of overflowing opportunities
Pleasant promises on this pilgrimage path
Quiver of qualitative quiescence
Remembrance of Royal righteousness
Succour in the Saviour's sweet snuggles
Tireless teamwork and thankful testimonies
Unswerving unblemished utensil of usefulness
Victorious vessel of value and valour
Watchful warrior with the Word as a weapon
Xtremely xenial with xpectation of xquisiteness
Yearnings of yesterdays and Yuletides
Zealous zest to reach Zion's zenith.

Abiding love is a gift from above
bestowing favor to one special love
caring, committed and being kind
doing the hard thing, sacrifice in mind
enjoying one another’s company
forever grateful for you and me
going the distance to the very end
having and being each other’s best friend
interests shared, and taking the time
just to listen to your thoughts and mine
kinship that grows through the years
loving the good times, sharing the tears
may be moments that cause great strife
no matter how hard, we’ll make it right
over the years, seeking help from the Lord
purposeful prayer to trust Him more
questions may go unanswered, but we
rest in His promises and let them be
so now we’ll continue to sojourn as one
trusting His care and trusting the Son
undying love, with a strong bond we share
venturing forward, and being aware
wanting to please, and letting it show
xenial ways bring pleasure that grows
youthful exuberance, breaking the mold
zest for living, together, as we grow old.

"Today don't beg, don't ask, just thank God in silence for all the blessings in your life. Each morning brings a hidden blessing; a blessing which is unique to that day. You deserve all the good things that happen to you."
~ Paulo Coelho
Auspicious azure atoll with augmented aurora
Bounteous bells bringing in buoyant breeze
Chiming cornucopia of coloured circles
Drawing drapes of dulcet dreams in delight
Emanating effervescence of enchanting echoes
Frivolously flying fervent fruits of father's faith
Gratitude garnered graciously in gaiety golden gospels
Humming harmonious hopes of humane harbinger
Iridescent immaculate ink of inbound ideologies
Jubilant jar of judicious joy in juggles
Kernels of kindness kindred in kaleidoscope
Luminescent leaves with lustre of love language
Mother's memoirs of mesmerizing morning mellow
Nurturing nascent nights with neon nuzzles
Opulent overwhelming opportunities of optimism
Pinnacles of permeating pleasure peeking in panacea
Quintessential quilt of quietude quenching quests
Radiant realms of rapport reviving a rhapsody
Soft silver slumber sparkling in sanguine serendipity
Translucent threads of tenacious tangible treasures
Unearthed utopia upholding ushered upbeats of urges
Veracious variance vibrating valiantly in vicinity
Wonderful white wisps of warm whispering waves
Xenon xing from xenial xylophones of xander xenia
Yellow yarns of yonder yesterdays yielding youthfulness
Zooming with zillion zestful zigzags to zealous zenith
