Likeminded Poems | Examples

Imagine

Imagine 

Imagine if you knew 
The day you were going to die 
Imagine if you went through life
without ever having to lie 

Imagine if you were perfect 
And a person with no fault 
Imagine if you were never angry
Kept it all locked up in a vault 

Imagine if you had to power 
To wipe away all tears 
Imagine if you had the power 
To chase away all fears 

Image if you had to power 
To make sick people well 
Imagine that would probably be like
Closing the gates of hell 

Imagine if you never saw 
Color, Creed, or race 
Imagine if you faced your demons 
Spat right in their face 

Imagine if there was no such thing 
As hunger, fear, or war 
Imagine if the ones who fought 
Knew what they were fighting for 

Imagine there was no such thing
As egos or massive greed
Imagine that would probably mean
More people with less needs 

Imagine if you had dreams like John 
Of a world that lived in peace 
Imagine enough likeminded people
Could turn this into a belief

The More Rewarding Way

I do not fear the wrath of those who love me,
But fear the love of those who thrive on wrath
For some hearts are filled with bitter gall.
They seek their friends among the likeminded,
To accept their expressions of love endangers
My heart of becoming infected, even blinded,
And finding myself sliding into this deadly pall
Feeding on their hatefulness, the wrong path,
When I must take the more rewarding way I see.

And That's How It Began

I was an awkward teenager
  seeking her truth
My friend and I would write
  love poems about our heart throbs
The pen indeed back then 
  remained my most trusted confidante

Years went by I grew up
   and life got crazy busy
The old poems laid stashed
   somewhere in a forgotten corner
It wasn't till I retired that
   I happened to be at a poetry reading

I listened most politely while
   squirming at how it was simply horrid
That's when I decided
   to dust off and revisit my oldies
I then found a site online of
      likeminded poets
           and never looked back

Eden To Me

Eden to me is paradise so grand
With nature wonders of majestic brand
Earth’s haven as providentially planned
Lingering still --- oh, sweet musical land.

Marked with outstanding creation beauty
Showcasing landscapes and parks of serenity
Wafting blest air of zephyr’s purity
Refreshing hearts toward blissful tranquility.

Eden to me is paradise so grand
With nature wonders of majestic brand
Earth’s haven as providentially planned
Lingering still --- oh, sweet musical land.

Eden and gracious songs empower faith and soul
Reviving spirit for thanksgiving goal
To fulfill with joy* God-granted role
While praising His goodness, making life whole.

Eden to me is paradise so grand
With nature wonders of majestic brand
Earth’s haven as providentially planned
Lingering still --- oh, sweet musical land.

*Philippians 2:2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

Do Something

You can work your butt off raising funds to help someone with cancer,
only to have them die shortly thereafter,
meanwhile in another ward another cancer victim,
is slowly dying who could have been saved by the others funding.
I've said it many times before and I will keep saying it again and again.
Patchwork doesn't work and it never will my friend.
The best healthcare should and can be provided free to everyone,
but that will never happen, 
not as long as there are greedy businessman in the field of medicine. 
So what is the answer, what can be done?
Three simple words, "Do Something, Anything,"
Volunteer your time, make donations,
get involved with likeminded organizations,
because I guarantee this to everyone,
if you don't do anything, nothing will happen.

Patience of God

God’s compassion
Marks divine patience* in action
Despite my stubbornness’ reaction…

He, with grace, works for my restoration
Assuring me His granted joy of redemption
When by faith, I trusted His sacrificial function
Divine love that freed me from hell’s condemnation
Paying fully the wages of my iniquity and transgression
Sealing my soul of His ownership, secured with eternal salvation…	

Grateful, I worship my Saviour-Lord, serving by His Scripture’s instruction.

*Romans 15:5 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus.

Express Myself

I have so much to say
bottled up inside
buried smothered
I need to share
or I’ll explode
if I don’t
my life
will have been
for naught

put myself out there
while there’s still time
to connect
attract hearts akin
and likeminded souls

the world needs
the playfulness of poetry
where you and me
can write and read
between the lines
and fill the blanks
to turn our interaction
into a tagteam act

A Circle of Souls

A circle of souls
Likeminded ladies
Invisible rules
Disqualify me

I’m somewhere in space
Floating alone
Holding a steady pace
Look how I’ve grown

I didn’t need her
Nope,  not her either
The pot, they stir
I’m an obstacle beater

It doesn’t matter
At the end of the day
They’re getting fatter
At lunch and lattes 

I hustle on
They chit chat
Soon I’ll be gone
No looking back

Six Harmonies

Pleasant speech ; devoid of discord,
Likeminded in understanding,
United by faith and vision,
Loyal to impartial principle,
And fair in the share of wealth.

Where Have They Gone

Mythical creatures
Slain by likeminded people
To those asking now
Were they all just a legend
And if not, where have they gone

Deflection

DEFLECTION

bouncing your beams
deflecting your light
off that bright white
stone you call 
home

flesh hung bones show
life’s hidden sorrows
in the chambers of
a likeminded 
soul

nude as chicken necks
they will come to peck
words from your heads
Scarlet brain 
flowers

flydiving
soarfalling
death is unworthy 
the final call to
amnesia births

candles of 
remembrance
will only serve
to gulp down
remaining flickers
of deflected
light
as blood blooms
clean
once again

Celestial Date In Space

Twas it happenchance or divine intervention
 that brought us to this place, this time
 this plane of purest desire we share….

 
Just north of the moon, past the fourth star 
crossing over Orion’s belt we soared…
 entwined, likeminded, and very much inclined
 in our sincerest direction.
Meet we now, on this date, blessed and anointed
 for this journey and those ahead. 

Hear now the celestial bodies herald,
 with reverence, the brilliance of light 
this joining has shed, as we swirled together
 near the presence of the masters design.
 
Two spirit filled, enlightened souls 
lead by faith, alight in words of hope
 spiraling together near the visions
 of ancient worlds and beings
 caught now in time and space….
 sheer energies of enlightenment.
 How bless we are to join this gathering,
 as we dance in our celestial trance 
amidst the wisdoms of past worlds.
