Enjoin Poems | Examples

evening song

Sailing away
Leaving today
on a Memphis honeymoon
Im so glad you made me happy
we are getting closer now
When you give me your heart
the great unknown will grab us
I feel the ease now
on our evening song
shared viewpoints
enjoin the same

In Search of Words

I lack words to enjoin in spring
Torpid I fall for Winter's listlessness
like a dusty ornament
I cannot break for freedoms
gust of purification
I long for a valley
its silence an agreement
searching for serenity
of a poet's consciousness
to stay verte
to dream in words

Till the End of Time

Till the End of Time

Show empathy and kindness to humanity
Love for all, abhorrence for none,
That is how we uphold peace.

Life's not for war, bigotry & hostility
Treat people with virtue as one
Spend in charity not negative things.

The trespassers never thrive throughout eternity!
Serve humanity, all to be done
Likewise forbid evil, and enjoin justice.

Premium MemberSeigniorage

Could platinum coin deposit
In the U.S. Treasury's closet
Our debts enjoin? 
A trillion-dollar coin
Might yield a government profit


Author's Note: Section 31 U.S.C. § 5112 of the United States Code authorizes the Treasury Department to "mint and issue platinum bullion coins" in any denominations the Secretary of the Treasury may choose. This privilege only extends to platinum coins. Thus, if the Treasury were to mint a few one-trillion dollar platinum coins, it could deposit such coins in the general fund instead of issuing debt (lol). 

Seigniorage is the difference between the receipts from the Federal Reserve System from the sale of circulating coins at face value and the costs of minting and distributing the coins. Seigniorage is deposited periodically to the General Fund where it reduces the government's need to borrow.

Of course, this might create a wave of inflation. But we should all realize that the value of paper currency eventually tends to zero. In any event, the inflation we've experienced in 2022 is just a taste of what's to come since the politicians don't want to explain a depression to their voters. We're entering strange times.

Music

There in the wastes comes music, singing

Such contrast, a backing track to real life

Like some Hollywood film, unreal, constructed

Gathered souls in green clothes passing through streets

Boots treading soil of foreign lands

It courses through, in another context you would maybe dance

Lead by the rhythm, cadences, but for now you must decline

Retain a vigilance, sternness, resolve, distance

Such a shame not to partake, to enjoy, to enjoin

If only for a moment to forget, to wish peace, serenity

These simple two words we often take for granted

So, forged by another’s play we ignore this gift and tread on

Doing our thing, while they do theirs

Like ships in the night we slip past each other, lives, cultures

Worlds apart our sails furled different winds but with perhaps a grateful
moment of collision

I so wanted to forgo these trappings, to embrace, to enfold

But never to be, never meant, never done

This golden chance lost in time, in life

But I still to this day I have the music in my head

Ode To Human Immuno Deficiency Virus

Hi we wear
and cage
if we feel like peppered
if we ever awe by
 worrying
if we ever contact
a cultivated mistress of excuses
and hardlucks 
acids and gas are explosions
hey we may catch fire
if we will be remaining dim due to
a fatal fluke of one
 we don't envy
because it kills or cracks love
who know may be
killing it at all
we don't despair
because it desicates  and wilts
leaves and leaves them dry
nor live to suspect or mock
nor live to doubt or disgrace
nor envy the clouds
whose smile by virtue
is joy
we don't enjoin chagrin
because it doesn't reward minds
instead damn them
nor live by pretence
here and there
to mar and wear
oh! teachers fears
and poets and poets
for us is adjunct
to be saved from
becoming a new harbour of human immune deficiency virus.

Magical Frame

Sway and bend in breeze,
the coruscating colors
Grin, pose, cackle and
enjoin me to capture them
through lens of my camera

Premium MemberAlways In a Distance Coming

Caught within the echo of the whispering pine
Whose bough shall sound a creaking wind.
Pleading us enjoin her labour
Giving birth to songs we long to sing.

A song we’re taught 
That springtimes coming won’t be long.
That standing on a mountains past
But for an instant we may rule our world;
Sunrise/sunset there before us; flag unfurled.

Footsteps crunching on the crust of every snow
Setting deep within a magic glow
To keep us warm
To give us hope
Always in a distance coming 
Morning sun to evening star
Always not so far.

Silence in between 
The sound of each man’s soul.
Blade of grass to dance 
Sway with every gentle breeze.
Fall away to prayers offered up 
From bended knees.
Every moment lingers until 
Those fingers turn another page
And this we name as age

While mountains nearby still erase 
The face of every man. 
In depth of height 
All blades of grass 
Exchanged for flakes of snow.

And this I know:

“not to dream… 
but be a part of all that may be dreamt.”

What might it be that it is not?

That you may think it

It shall become.

To this truck 

A tin-can life be tied;

Riding byways, flying skyways

Painting scars upon the face

Of every universe passing.

Pushing back upon us 

In its striving to release.

Hold them back, fold them back

Ride them in upon themselves

Those endless songs 

That carry us along 

Upon this wondrous ride 

Consumed by force

Dissolved in tastes 

Of something new

That greater effort 

To enjoin.

Each soul a branch 

Each God a tree

Premium MemberNature's Grandeur

Mother Nature's magnificent, all know:
     when spring imbues new life, year after year,
rays of gold feed the land, and the plants grow
     so that all of earth in this hemisphere,
from east to west, again vibrate and flow
     with verdant grandeur that mortal men fear.

As earliest men draw their breath in awe
     of Nature's ancient majesty and source,
from the beginning of time, as by law,
     the seasons take their predetermined course;
and, as relentless as an iron paw,
     renew the earth with life-endowing force!

So, if the handiwork of Mother Nature
     be so magnificent and grandiose,
let her then be man's benevolent teacher
     so she may instruct, enjoin, and enclose 
them as faithful stewards: and then may feature
     her fearful powers to them in cool repose.

Sodomites

Sodomites

Ezekiel 16:49
Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters were arrogant, over fed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. 

That day you seraphs passed the gate
You heralded an uncreate
You had been told the ten to seek
For nine or less no mercy speak

Instead of going to the square
You yielded to four foreign there
Who chose a fertile valley then
From mountain streams to abject sin

But if you had you would have found
Five righteous ones there cruelly bound
Penetrated, stretched out straight
Their holy souls inviolate 

The victims of both young and old
Abused by those whose hearts were cold
To innocence and love once near
Then limited to five born *****

Who refused to enjoin the rest
In malice soaked with violence 
And disregard for those in need
Their consciences did no more heed

The cries of those whose lights went dim
So at high noon came heaven’s brim
Five bodies freed from spirits’ flight 
There left to burn with Sodomites

Premium MemberForget-Me-Not, It's a Girl

Pray, ask your help my dear forget-me-not,
   
     'Tis the day, I have abandon my soul,
     Tho' I venture not, say thee, a false claim,

Hope flickers on angels wings, hath begot.


Descry banners announce the advent dove,
    
     Abounds a joy momentous, grants thee,
     Burnished milestone, graces on our doorsteps,

Her aches smiles, for another, sake of love.


Renders thee a righteous sun to embrace,
    
     'Tis the journey to embark, save the day,
     Hark all, enjoin said delights, thrice be said,

Pray your help, dear forget me not, her face.

Rackets of Lies and Rockets of Truth

Rackets, rockets and sprockets of lies in their sties fly fast
Treasures and pleasures of truth offer orphans wisdom to last
Choose to cruise in lies and perish
Cruise to groove in truth and prune proof to furnish. 

Spies and sties of lies speed up blights, flights and sites of harm
Growth of truth enjoin teenagers to join joints where they stay calm
Dive in rivers of lies and land into Airport Perdition
Drive droves of truth and aggrandize erudition.

Weirs and tiers of lies blind blokes whom they hypnotize
Vats of verity and truth redeem recipients on planets where they pander to their preferred prize
Fleas and freckles of lies flee when exposure lurks and irks in the background
Youth and truth unite to grow together in wisdom in every sound round.

Limitations of lies and imitations of truth run but can’t hide
Tidbits meet and fit wits to boost blokes’ pride in a right ride
Allies and lie spies rally but can’t parry functions of sanctions
Tallies and rallies of truth trek troops to unalloyed unctions.

Soaring Forever

Now soaring high above the lands
that form the Big Sur shore,
her wings enjoin the wind and sky
set free forevermore.
Where hills, broad shouldered, meet the sea
eternal, vast, and blue,
and cloud-laced skies above the earth
now greet her soul so true.
She soars, a butterfly set free, 
o'er all her life has seen.
Her memory, still rich to us,
now shares its golden sheen.

And longer than white waves have coursed
the California shore, 
and deeper than the ocean or 
the heavens men explore,
the gentle hands of God will guide
her wings forevermore.

                     For Nancy
                     7-16-15
