Daring Poems

Daring Dead

Dour-faced servants, thunderbolts, towering bad days.
Will or reason? Time, truth, dolts! Dynamite dismays!
Suffering, you heard the man! Damn you, let us in!
Hell and Heaven, what's the plan? Span, O light of Sin!

Wilting flowers on the beach? Autumn, thou art here.
Must be something out of reach! Sour and severe!
Cannibals, thy holocaust! Wicked is the past!

Daring Distance Gracing Gap

It is a weird one, 
To keep gracing distant sun...
While moon could bail fun.

Dry lips are so tight,
To put words up at such sight
Daring distant fright.

While principles flow...
Yet couldn't keep deeds off blow,
In reality's show.

Why not dare decide,
One your past truly confide
Shouldn't be denied?

The Color Brave

In a sea full of green, so wide and still,
Where every leaf leans to the wind’s will,
They whisper the rules in rustling tones,
“Grow alike, sway alike, don’t stand alone.”

But somewhere beneath that uniform sway,
A pulse beats red in a quiet display.
Not loud, not proud—just power contained,
A fire untouched, a soul unchained.

The green is safe, a

Upsets and Underdogs

Kiwi Cricket's Shangri La...


"Can still hear the deafening din of the Indian crowd chagrin.

Stunned shell shocked silence at mandarins' sins.

Yet somehow still so loud

Like thunder down under in the proud

Land of the long white cloud.

Daring to dream of derring do plunder.

Upsets’ unctuous umami.

Shocks’ sumptuous serendipity.

Cast asunder as against the odds.

Hallowed Gods' anguished..felled & fallowed.

Kiwis vanquished

Preparing a most daring dare,
Of pinning a tail to a bear,
He just couldn’t choose
Which tail type to use,
And thought best to leave matters there.

Premium MemberThe flame of creativity is born from unknown and daring depths

The flame of creativity is born from unknown and daring depths,
where desires and thoughts intertwine with dreams still untainted,
each spark from the free spirit is a triumph of flight over fears,
opening new skies, breaking the heavy chains of the objectified world,
but when the product of creativity touches the ground of culture and convention,
it settles, it

candle shows him the way
raindrops appear as tears
window cold to the touch
will he come tonight?
I sit, waiting, wondering,
afraid to ask, daring to hope

Premium Memberdaring a volcano to get him

He stood at the crown of the volcano
daring hot death-making lava to rumble out
it was warm today, and there was rumbling
we took some pictures of him up there
making uncomfortable shaky jokes
secretly afraid it was Pompeii all over again
and these would be his final moments

ORGANISED CHAOS

Of the created lot, Am the meandering one,
A mass of battling red,
Am always on a steady diet
Ever since the mothers bred.

Chemicals galore in profound reacts
When devils dare to tread,
The flames crack like the daring sun
And cells suffer a wreck.

Parts are fed with signals released,
Castles on the air are built,
Images form with colors bright
Traces of the

daring men teller of the truth

those daring men of the truth

The Australian who has been in jail for years to avoid
being sent to the USA, where he will get 
further jail terms 
He, I'm sure, is difficult to live with and has little tolerance for
other people's views, it goes with the terrain, famous men 
who fight for the truth tend

Daring Spirits Blaze Brightly

Do not go gentle into the good night,
Where shadows dance, and darkness takes its flight.
Embrace the fire that burns within your soul,
Let passion guide you as you reach your goal.

Though time may pass and wear upon your frame,
Let not your spirit yield to sorrow's claim.
In every moment, let your spirit soar,
With every step, create a
