Bumptiousness Poems | Examples


A Heartfelt Invocation To God

A heartfelt invocation to God 

Standing on the threshold of day and night 
Folding my hands for the power divine 
You are the ray of hope that shows me the path truly right 
By your virtue my senses and feelings go sublime 

Asking not for mercy for my sins
Or grace on behalf of those silent prayers 
Instead a heartfelt thanks for the guide that you have been 
The way you shape mankind with your dexterous flair 

Do not just grant me joy and success 
Never want to shy off from struggle and hardships 
For I know taste of triumph is only after endurances 
Bright sun of happiness shines only followed by an eclipse 

The formidable paths of life
The everwidening thoughts and the resultant actions
Withstand me in various strife 
Bestow me strength to surpass all melanchonious distractions 

Standing in the forest of sub-conciousness 
Insatiated by own desires 
Save me from pangs of bumptiousness
Since the intricate thoughts of mind cannot be transpired

Walls of a Prison

Every room has four walls,
they may be high or low;
this prison represses my tenacious spirit
to take them down and run free!
Solitude can be powerful for some
to build up that sense of manly pride,
but inside the longing is strong
to embrace someone and go on! 

I spent half of my life in deplorable solitude,
detesting my brother's bumptiousness...
seeing him through different lenses;
doubt can be as volatile as burning fire!

Regardless of how he may have seemed,
he had the same thick blood as I had,
the same temptations and imperfections; 
I paid for my mistrust in him very dearly. 

These sturdy walls restrain my ability
to overcome fear, how far is the outside world?
How intense is the desire to escape
from this desolation and finally breathe
the sweet air of freedom? Even the strongest
walls shouldn't discourage me from knocking
them down and set myself free! 
How lovely is a sky without clouds
for someone that saw only rain!
