Contented Poems

Mind Your Own Business

In the garden of life, where diverse flowers bloom,
Don't let your gaze wander, to the plots that aren't your own.
Keep your eye on your plate, where your nourishment lies,
For in focusing on others, you'll miss your own prize.

The nosy parker's curse, is a path that's fraught with strife,
For in meddling with others, you'll lose your

Premium MemberContented Happy Grandma Mouse

Few people are as contented as Grandma Mouse
She has the comfort she needs inside her tiny house.
There is no dreaming or wishing or worrying for her.
She is contented to enjoy her surroundings, easy and pure.
She keeps her temper mild, her blood pressure is low.
She loves to hear of our travels, wherever we go.
But she has

Surrounded in a forest of bamboo, he is insanely happy
China has everything he needs to be content and excited.

Contented

it's not often the sun rises to clear blue skies
bringing smiles and vision to clouded eyes
to see a beginning and not to be begging

of what is, not was
blurred in a vision

I see past what I fear
the beauty, the wit
listening to whispers
suddenly appeared

the sun rises and I shine
alone in her presence
contented
in what I might find

Doomed: Drafts of the Contented

Unrestrained I thrive in absolution,
Heroic of what my morrow may be,
I rend the deception of temptation,
Restrict evil to grasp control of me,
Specific privacy hears my last plea,
A one on one relationship with God,
Pithily, pithily,

Premium MemberThat Contented Look

she had that contented look
you only see every decade or so

the look of a woman who has gnawed the leg
off of a shrieking tiger

we backed off quickly
and without comment

fearing her next move

Premium MemberContented In God

Confronted by conflicting self-forces
my flesh groans in adversities’ struggles
realizing that human nature lurks
then reigns to conquer carnality flaws.

Granted with grace of redemption by Christ
my soul received His eternal life gift
along imputed righteousness divine
freeing me from sin-wages’ damnation.

Quickened toward God-consciousness sublime 
my spirit yields to Almighty control
striving to win in personal battles
vanquishing own selfishness, pride and

Premium MemberAnteros Grace

Have I ever told you that Anteros	
whispered love notes to me the day we met?
His sensuous breath carried love’s arrows
and my heart became yours without regret. 
You must have heard the whispers he had let
for you softly stroked the hair from my face,
and never since, have we left love’s embrace.

Our love grows stronger as the

Premium MemberSilver Fox and Contented Girl

Silver Fox and Contented Girl, two souls united by quest, bonded tightly.
Heard one crying in the night, so had to leave their bodies immediately.
Will she recognize we are here to help her? Contented Girl asked.
Silver Fox gave her usual head nod, inspiring her to move forward.

The child leaves her body and is sitting upright, looking

Troth

Why's your jaded tongue so slyly used
To words buttered with ensnaring tone; 
Piping fibs empirical proofs poorly prop,
Waxing lies into truth's patented throne? 

I with all joints and full sinews distrust
Grandiose jibes oiled by your tired lips; 
And luckily mock all façades and crust
With which you gild your tempting trips. 

No backing writs your warping

Contented

CONTENTED
I’m looking wide-eyed
At the world outside.
I’m feeling remarkable happy.
I look innocent,
But I’m really intent
On secretly filling my nappy.

Premium MemberI Sit In My Leaf Sea Happy

I sit in my leaf sea
relishing in their acceptance
of whatever comes next.

I sit under a gray sky,
pondering her unwavering confidence,
blowing to her own music.

I sit in my chair
watching a happy dog whose head
is on my knee, a terrific day.

Contented Well-Being

C-ontented well-being is created, 
E-arly fourteenth of January; 
C-hosen feeling of ease, 
E-vades the life's 
L-uxury. 

G-reat comfort deep inside 
A-ims to console your mind; 
R-elieving worry and trouble, 
C-heer your heart does find. 
I-t's a sense of satisfaction because of the heaven's blessing; 
A-llow your soul to become a contented well-being.

Prevented and Contented

Could hear some animals roar
Where people live who are poor;
From where will come next meal;
Not know how starvation does feel;
To them open up hearts and door.

Premium MemberContented In My Saviour

Contentment conveys such calmness
bringing peace to many a troubled soul
but real true contentment is divine
hold it tight make sure it's not stole

My experience throughout my life
that deep contentment is God given
His version is truly really satisfying
for it's free positively gospel driven

The centre focus of this contentment
is Jesus Christ Himself God's own son
the one who saved
