Gain Ground Poems | Examples

there is an end

there is an end
repetitive engaged
newer orders
where we come from
is where nothing returns
the service of birth
to not come home
on foreign soil
only to war
only for war was i thought of
this one will not win
this strategy of me
a world
they enjoy and toy with me you will
toil till death does its part with you
you tend to my munitions
i confer and advance
you engaged me
and again i gain ground
no fence?
know fence
no place
mine
handless land, crawling
time honored minute, non traditional
warfares itself upon the service
none shall attend
being built in a bottle
speak

Grissper Kissa

Who's selfishness shall be his own
undoing
The scare ofCupid"s arrow has healed
and my mind is once again clear
must we gain ground together
and chore to create
alas who's mind is neither here or
even local might wonder to
only be creative in troublin
 ( way's to be unfaithful)
that your full attention is needed
and ever fiber of your 
understanding must
be loyal to me.

Gift People Their Roses

"Every struggle in my life has been a lesson and made me stronger."
                            Quote by _Constance La France


Gift people their roses

Gift people their roses while still around,
unspoken words continue to benight,
do not wait until they are graveyard bound.

Let your heart and lips master that sweet sound,
tell them you love them from your being’s height,
gift people their roses while still around.

Breathe in the air where butterflies fly round,
show gratitude to folks by matchless might,
do not wait until they are graveyard bound.

Weed nettles creeping on a fertile mound,
when trees have leaves and berries still bedight,
gift people their roses while still around.

Allow those kinds of beliefs to gain ground,
tell them they inspire you and feel all right,
do not wait until they are graveyard bound.

A life, with lilies and marigolds crowned,
on worth and value will shine a bright light,
gift people their roses while still around,
do not wait until they are graveyard bound.

Cheetah

Creeping up stealthily,
cushioned claws
cautiously gain ground.
Claws retract, amber eyes
covet the prey,
concentration heightens and the
chase begins.

Content of Character - In Memory of Dr Martin Luther King Jr

Why can’t we be judged by the content of our character?
Are we now racist, because of white privilege and black lives matter?
This is our new wall, racism is still dividing,
these two profound statements are creating bitter chatter.

Dr. King lost his life because of his dream in 63,
segregation is what this great man envisioned would one day leave.
The architects of our Republic intended all men to be free,
our declaration of independence is what we now need to believe.

As a people we need to remember, all of our positive achievements,
we need to move forward and continue to gain ground.
We need to focus on life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
We are all created equal, this evident truth has got to be found.

We all need to sit down at the table of brotherhood.
Everything we do right now, needs to be done together.
We need to erase all of our anger and live here as one people
if we join our hearts, there is no storm we can’t weather.

Friend Zone

On a game field of the greenest grass
We’d touch, I’d run, and you’d pass.
I’d gain ground and you’d intercept.
Every game, we leapt and swept
Into the end zone to a climatic end;
Nothing left to defend or offend,
Too many touchdowns to surmount,
No personal injuries or fouls to recount.
Then, offsides, false start, taunting?
Your penalty flags left me wanting,
Challenging every yellow thong thrown;
Then ejected, exiled to the Friend Zone!

Beauty

Bright beauty blooms
Zealous zest zooms


Craft cheery charm
Apt ample arms


Wise willing words
Healthy heaps heard


Wear wordplay well
Sum sparkling spell


Glimpses gain ground
Face flavours found


Beauty brings boom
Grace gently grooms


Live lavish lure
Prize promise pure


Sweet secrets stream
Drill dazzling dream

Bleak Fields

In a cold bleak field, a soldier lay dying.
There were others around him, Who also were crying, -
The medics had already tried to gain ground,
But the incessant chatter of maxims and mausers,
That chewed up the grass and the mud all around
kept the bravest of brave, from risking his trouscrs,
And the dying from living, or their mothers from Sighing.

There have been so many wars Since then,
And it always requires the death of brave men,
The brave politicians, of course take great risks,
A successful conflict can enhance their career,
But if it goes wrong, he might lose that post,
That would give him an extra big pension to boast.
He certainly won't have to think about death,
In a field were those Young men, gasp out their Last breath.

Whatever happened to the war to end wars,
A whole generation Swore, that never again,
Would nations commit to a spurious cause,
Were their young died before they were men,
But people are all very easily fooled,
And hatred is very easily fueled
Remember this principle and use it to judge,
The cause is not right if there's anyone dead.
From the Rhetoric spoken, by those that have led

Gain Ground

G-ain ground as the decline turns 
I-nto the state of augmentation; 
L-oss has become plus, 
M-aking headway and expansion. 
I-t's now time to gain ground, 
N-ever shrink nor diminish; 
A-dvance and proliferate, as the failures in life vanish. 

L-er your ideas gain ground, 
O-n the fourteenth of July; 
N-o more wasted action, 
G-ather your strength neath the sky. 
C-omplete your faith and hope 
O-n the love you've found; 
P-roceed to the better stage, make progress or gain ground.

Summer Steam

Thinking back now my dreams are eerily reminiscent
Of every mistake I made in my decent.
Of every joke and priceless muse,
Every smile that she gave me, as her mind I perused.		

I hate summer, it never gave me hope or want,
‘Till she came in, giving me memories that still haunt.
The sight was so familiar, an air of innate grace,
The mix of unrefined Circean beauty, painted so perfectly on her face.

Oh, Wanton lust, adoration unbound,
Betraying my every move, I could never gain ground.
It happened, we happened, the unceasing desire was filled,
But with a single mistaken word of betrayal, my fate was sealed.

Still I wish for it, to take back that un-kept promise,
To return to her, what she readily gave to me, a glimpse of solace.
What takes years of readiness, sometimes a lifetime to find,
I had for just one moment and then left it behind.

This reoccurring dream keeps telling me that I shall never find,
Not one moment of hearts peace, no more placation of mind.

Vengeance Is the Sweetest Nectar

Vengeance Is The Sweetest Nectar

	What will it take for the dawning of the truth,
Deny all the gutter trips, mangled by your sweet tooth.
	Deceipt, and deception, immerse eternaly into luster,
Aroused by the desire to possess, a longing to bluster.

	Shallowly, you held your head high, for respect of ones friends,
A reputation with-held so proudly, you'd die in the midst,to defend.
	Frauds, phonys, imposters, you choose years of bona fide passion,
YOu disregard, shunned, from your heart entirely, second hand out-of-date 
fashion.

	When the time finally hails, to the angels whom doomed upon that 
May,
You treasure their memories, cry vengeful loyal tears, on the fifteenth day.
	Then forgotten, the meaning of life, of family, of the upmost respect,
Your pride over powered, the once, beliefs you selfishly grew to neglect.

	When needed the most, their words retire so careless,
To an unhonest path, out to get you, conspiring for vengeful consequence, 
leaving your soul airless.
	I told you they lie, to your face, to gain ground you once dominated,
Step into the archway of heavens true path, love your son, the one that supported, 
number one nominated.
