Claiming Poems - Poems about Claiming

Claiming September

this world, connected by signals
cell phones, towers impregnated by vibrations
mild colors, flames rising from the hopes
hues stolen by the edges of a heart,
who hears the wind in the trees, the struggle
the need of raindrops, poignant 
stroking the last of the moments before
Helene spoke her war with creation
a war that left time off its foundation –

The Next Zimbabwe - A call to rise

**The Next Zimbabwe: A Call to Rise**

In lands where dreams were forged in fire,  
A tale of strength, of fierce desire,  
From ashes of despair, they’ve learned to climb,  
Zimbabwe’s spirit soaring through the sands of time.

A currency’s fall, a lesson steep,  
Where once was value, now shadows creep.  
Yet

Claiming Grace Out Proud

Giving thanks
for insight
outside normal space
grows more grace
than taking from fertile Earth
without gratitude
thoughtless everyday attitude.

We give thanks
gathered here today
for all God's edibles
and ornaments
surpassing even sacred platitudes,
obscure beatitudes.

I give thanks
for this our timeless gathering
of family
proclaimed, not defamed
together more holy felt
than severed when apart.

Taking from Earth
without gratitude
heartless attitude
slow grows groaning grace,
our disturbing pace
within this silent pause

this sacred space
for

Claiming My Egyptian Heritage

I claim my Egyptian heritage of
Love, rivers, healing
Geese fly high above our pyramids 
Those rocks moved with magnetic
music
Light cascading through space
Thoth dances above our crowns

I sway beneath Amun-Ra
She-He caresses my auburn hair
a deepening of irises 
it was my thunder and
my own blistering hands
Nile flows freely watching

Now my goddesses sit in their Merkaba’s
chanting around an eternal

The Decimals Point

The Decimals Point 
David J Walker

Therefore 
	He put forth
Before 
the court 
Of public opinion could
Possibly adjourn 

Claiming to be friends
With the man in the moon

Claiming to be the father of
The color purple 

Claiming to have taught 
Pterodactyls to fly

Claiming to be a
Grandson of Methuselah 

Claiming to have inspired 
The theory of relativity 

Claiming his image

Vignette Naming Claiming

Often a parent cannot know
What seeds of anguish they do sow
When a name on offspring they bestow
Teased by army pals whilst abroad
Oscar ,became Claude !
This soldier, painter ,who changed his name,
Later found world-wide fame;
So if you find an Oscar Monet, today
Keep it safe,don't throw it away !

Claiming Territory

Claiming Territory 



Amongst blades of grass
Stubborn weeds 
Spread adamant seed
standeth  proudly 
In its glory 
From its lips it utterth 
A song
Several generations strong 

A mirror of the sun 
Yanked from the earth
The mother birthed 
It , too, bleeds 
At its core
Where it’s heart beats 
It breaks  free through concrete
Making its presence known 
Navigating

Claiming

Claiming

In the gathering darkness
The land opened its mouth wide
To swallow all the wind
You boasted
To swallow up all the ill-gotten gains

Darkness devoured your face
And adopted your greedy soul
Dancing wildly were your limbs in the air
Like a puppet pulled by Satan

Blowing over my ears was the wind 
And your screaming
The higher the roar was
The deeper my sorrow

The Claiming Race

Fame means part of you
Maybe all of you
Belongs to someone else
Someone vicarious in their intent
Insatiable given their adulation
Proprietary, 
Eschewing personal risk or harm
Watching from the comfort
Of either praise or blame
They claim your soul like a 
Racehorse
When you win their hearts
Leaving your memory abandoned
 —when dissident odds prevail

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2015)

Claiming Fate, Dark Fate Gifts, His Sad Afflictions

Claiming Fate, Dark Fate Gifts, His Sad Afflictions

They forced him, build sandcastles on barren beaches
They were his addictions, those beautiful leeches
Saw his false shadows, like hell he resented it
Ripped his true heart each damn time he presented it
Fat with soul-wrecking love, they bleached his weary bones
Nights he was weak, begging please, for their dark tones
Each

Claiming Our Birthrights Here

CLAIMING OUR BIRTHRIGHTS HERE…


Water breaks to freedom,
Flows and seeks its  own level:
Rebirth is as hard as crucible steel.

Emerging from the cocoons
Of our distributions,
We voyage backwards
To the womb of our beginnings.

Spreading our dreams on the levees
Of hope---our souls anchored in waters of faith,
We step on the shores of reunion 
As in the matter and manner

Claiming My Period of Reconstruction

this period of my life is my period of reconstruction
i seek God for advice instead of those of this world of overt opinions
yes there are intelligent ones to whom i am lead to seek advice from
however when i need the most essential tools to rebuild and renew, i know that God's truly got me because

Claiming To Have the Poets Eye.

claiming to have the poets eye,
that when upon looking at the world,
your vision goes beyond the sky.
to see the formation of clouds,
the birds singing,
the insects disappearing.
sorry, sweetheart, thats no poetry of mine.
i see the loneliness,
the cold brush of wind that cuts egos like knives,
blistering tears swept away
to a place neither of us will ever know.
because
