Defines Poems | Examples

Premium MemberYour name defines my love, a song flowing through my entire being

Your name defines my love, a song flowing through my entire being,
Your presence is the rhythm of my heart, the metronome of our eternal dance,
To keep your smile ever alive, I vowed to embrace any pain,
Even when envy and indifference wait to crush me under their weight.
I buried them far away when your lips whispered our first love,
Your words turned the world's burden into a gentle, warm breeze,
You saw my imperfections and never turned away from our path,
How could I deny your flaws when they are stars in your vast sky?
Your flaws are part of you, a puzzle that only I can understand,
If my heart has room for you, it will always have room for them too,
Being together means more than always walking side by side in life,
It's about growing, healing, and rising together on our journey.
I have never been more grateful for the gift you offer me,
With you, I discovered the light that long awaited to be set free,
We rewrote stories and shaped our destinies in an eternal embrace,
In a world where love flows forever, and we are waves in motion.

The Truth That Defines Me

There is always hesitation that comes right before the truth can come out. 

So that all that comes out is a soft sigh. 

And then a conversation that seems heartless. 

My friend will leave with a sense that there is a void within me. 

I will leave with relief as I whisper my secrets to myself.

Your Royalty Defines You

Your royalty defines you 

You are either 
on the right 
Or 
You are either 
on the left 


Which ever 
side you are 
You still 
got to fight 


And your 
fight defines your 
royalty while 


your royalty defines you.

What Defines Me

The late night sleep,
Spent my days with the phone in my hand,
And a pair of speakers in my ears
Doesn't defines me.
All day with phone in my hands,
Songs played from the list and,
The energy I receive,
That defines me.

The words I speak,
With the aggression people give,
For a minute or more,
Doesn't defines me.
The aggression people give,
The way I act as them around me,
The way I love,
That defines me.

The way I roam,
With no wants of my own,
But the responsibilities I carry,
Doesn't defines me.
With wants of my own,
Not careless but carefree,
The satisfaction shown,
That defines me.

The person people choose,
Me to be,
The way they take me,
As granted or luck,
Doesn't defines me.
The way I take them,
Eyes of hater,
Or the ships to take care ignoring how tough
That defines me.

Eight Traits That Defines Me

My behaviour is like a mirror
It reflects your attitude towards me
My love is like a locked arrow
To get it you need a fitting key

My heart is a glass of wine
You drink from it what you pour
My actions are like a garden
You reap from it what you grow

My mind is like the winds
It follows no one's laws
My personality is like the monsoons
It has a specific path it blows

My life is  like the moon
It have a dark side no one knows
Knowing me is like a coming dawn
It gets darker as it arrives

What Defines Us

It pauses as it comes and goes
Surprises us or on command
Privately only you will know
Unwilling but can be planned

One minute be there then lost 
Tends to make you laugh or cry
Straight forward even crossed
Births the need so we can try

So kind, and a precious tender
Forever there at times or brief
Can be a delightful splendor
The lore in all our own beliefs 

In truth the root of temptation
As it will follow us into our sleep
Is the beginning of all creation
Light hearted or seriously deep

Its what defines our very reality
Will be passing or can be caught
It shapes our very personality
What defines us is our "Thoughts"

Baseball Defines America

As in many,many poems and novels 
Baseball is something that defines the American people 
Thinking of the season ahead
Realizing that I did not  watch my health carefully  when young 
Happy to make it to 63 
And happy to watch the New York Metropolitans in their quest 
for glory

Premium MemberWhat Defines Me

So what
Defines me
Is it the stories
Or poetry
Is it my sheer
Perseverance
And finishing touch
It took so long
For me to master such

Nature Defines Love

Can I define love through the nature's face?
Both relaxing like grasses in the plain
Can you contrast them in numerous ways?
Both similar like the teardrops of rain,

It gives warm to my body like sunlight
Appears fruitful and larger like a tree
Creates hope in the night like a moonlight
Goes deeper and deeper like the blue sea,

So clear like the waters in the wide pond
It brings color like rainbows in the sky
It's with me like the soil and roots great bond
It's a river flowing until I die

   Yes, I can define it without trouble
   As long as I live it is possible

What Defines You

Your failures don’t define you
Nor do your achievements
What defines you
Is the way you treat someone
Who can’t give you anything
In return.

That Which Defines Me

As day departs, and light retreats, 
echoes of night beseech thee...
to rest thine soul, drift away from sight, 
to find hidden dreams within me.

The sky so dark, twinkling stars so bright, 
illuminating paths before thee...
flowing rain in streams, winding through old trees, 
to find hidden life within me.

Screams of plight, drown out silent night, 
clawing at tranquility that soothes thee...
to erase thoughts of love, streaming down from above, 
to betray healing hands that guide me.

With night-time so cruel, heavy heart seeks renewal, 
guiding light, shining bright before thee...
to wash away pain, instill hope once again,
to unveil all that fails to define me.

Bloodline: My Royalty Defines Me

Royalty thrives in the tunnel that is my vein 
Driving my consciousness to reflect power 
Confidence remains high even in the midst of my lows 
Head held high looking up toward my creator 
The pride that exist within, was constructed elsewhere
The mystery lives on and questions still loom
One thing for sure, my pride will never wither
