Expressed Poems

LOVE EXPRESSED THROUGH WORDS FROM BOTH OLD AND NEW ENGLISH DICTION

Thou hast engaged my hand,
With your fairy’s magic wand,
The ring which you placed on my finger,
Along with which I do all around your house- doth Linger.

Thee fairy more graceful even compared to Venus,
Thou pierced my heart with thy kindness,
I will forever with you be,
As I respect thy love and thee.

Thou hast the eyes of a fish,
Let me express you my life’s wish-
-That I want to live with thou forever,
And then say to separation- Never!

Thou art grace personified,
And thy words are music of love signified,
Thou art the Queen of My Heart,
And excelling love’s every Art.

Murder On The Orient Expressed

Murder on the Orient Express--just?
Shorter the fuse tighten the screws,
sharper stuns the rushed, drug delays the hushed,
marker trashed refuse, clues confuse.

'Morning after sharpened scours the given,
charming entertains the witty,
earning their forthcoming thwarts admission,
forming and sorting out gritty.

Straightforward clues like manna from Heaven,
page foreword; Farmer's Almanac,
date onward, sow-reap, from whence transgression?
Came forward all, the common task. 

Burdened heavily, labored the righteous,
incessantly drew in favor,
descendancy ends by the impious,
death penalty, all-signed ... waiver.

                      Adieu, Poirot

Isn’t every expressed thought

…thinking outside your box

SPECIAL LOVE EXPRESSED

I love you and I mean it very well
Though my tongue can't vocally tell and yell
By God's grace*, you believe best
My blest heart of caring zest
Since I’m special child in your kindness’ cell. 

*1Corinthians 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am...

In merely four lines
Four quadrants of words,
We see great minds!
Smallest voices are heard!

Expressed Enigma

The eyes of the girls and boys 
Confess their secrets sans voice.

Expressed Censure Criticism - -

EXPRESSED CENSURE CRITICISM - -

All though I seek your approval;
I am certain to give you my best;
Never, the less I am in removal;
Above all ties to my conquests;

How shall I choose a choice?
And who shall listen;
When every sin has a different voice
What am I getting Inter-vision?

My mind is captive;
Take me as man I am;
My thoughts less attractive;
To wit here I stand;

Above all ties to my conquests;
As still I seek your approval;
I am certain to give you my best;
Judge me not nor allow me reproval;
Within the methodism,of this verse journalism;
I seek not expressed censured criticism;

Love Expressed At Heavens Door

LOVE EXPRESSED AT HEAVEN’S DOOR

As she died, a single tear rolled down cheek,
A few loved ones gathered around her bed.
Explosion of the sun — heaven did speak.
Her weary bones rest.  To the Lord she’s wed.

A few loved ones gathered around her bed.
Moments before — dramatic lightning storm.
Her weary bones rest.  To the Lord she’s wed.
Now she resides in God’s arms — safe and warm.

Moments before — dramatic lightning storm.
Reflecting in sunshine’s window — a deer.
Now she resides in God’s arms - safe and warm.
In awe, her kin see there’s nothing to fear.

Reflecting in sunshine’s window — a deer.
Explosion of the sun — heaven did speak!
In awe, her kin see there’s nothing to fear.
As she died — a single tear rolled down cheek.

Loneliness, That Was Love I Expressed

The waves faint sounds
Light cheerfully bounds
Bubbles meant to die on foreign lands
 

Odor of an old book
Hearing the clock tick
The cloudy eyes blink

Blowing the candle out
Smoke trails dissipate
In the darkness, pupils dilate

Emptiness, I was trapped in
Joy was converted into an illusion
Self-existence was forced to remain

By others, I was coldly accepted
While being warmly refused
Loneliness, that was love I expressed

Joy Expressed In Tears

J-oy expressed in tears
E-xplains the amount of bliss; 
S-hown way toward glory
S-ees no reason to go
A-miss.

J-oy expressed in tears
A-ims to take the sorrow away; 
V-iew of liquid in the eyes
I-s a sight far from dismay.
E-arly twenty-third of November, the forlorn feeling disappears; 
R-apture flows like a river, bringing joy expressed in tears.

Words Forbidden To Be Expressed

Words forbidden to be expressed
A dangerous fact to be disclosed
Making the whole world depressed
I am sorry that you are so obsessed
With the words never to be expressed
The words are secretly decomposed
Scattered around after being recomposed
Spread like bean paste after being compressed
Taste like sweet chilli that’s been reprocessed
Eaten by idiots who are systematised
The paste lost its nature but it’s flavour is militarised
For the nations, hatred was perfectly modernised
Effectively fighting in the war that was standardised
Such usable propaganda must be fully released
Please sleep on people and be hospitalised
Don’t worry, you will soon be desensitised

Words forbidden to be expressed
A dangerous fact to be disclosed 
Making the universe so confused

Wake up, ladies who were hypnotized
Come out, gentlemen who were fictionalised
From where you were unfortunately misdiagnosed
Where “I love you” is forbidden to be expressed
