Motives Poems

Premium MemberMotives to Confront

Selfish aims in kindness-guise… I dare to confront
As my soul welcomes challenges with hope
Triumphantly while thankful spirit does cope
Surmounting trials of grievous affront.

Targets midst secret deals… I strive to check
As my heart submits to divine truth’s worth
Exposing transgressions against fake mirth
Repenting for pardon that conquers wreck. 

Carnal goals with their deceit… I ought to face
As

Thrill to craft poetry with motives simon-pure

Thrill to craft poetry with motives simon-pure

Analogous to beckoning
think fickle finger of fate doth allure
gussied up with 
windswept orange coiffure
tantalizes like a kid 
in a candy store to explore
amidst treasure trove of words galore
recollecting when yours truly
a spunky lad though
physically, and emotionally immature

to curry spicy relationship
(aside from being oblivious
to a golden opportunity)
with Meena Ravel,
a high

Hit by a train

,,Would you rescue someone who would get hit by a train?"
,,yes"
,,then you are just overly stupid."
,,And why?"
,,because you would get hit too"
,,And?"
,,What And? Are you crazy? It doesn't make any sense when it is meant for the person to die there."
,,you are heartless"
,,Nah, I am seeing things realistically."
,,So you want to live with the suffer

A Speech With Two Motives

Kirk goes back to practised cadence,
With it he hits ears, no conscience,
Great stir in a once mute audience,
Afresh bides his time: Great Patience…

Talks triggered between close sitters
That a night guard steals embitters:
His straight sack: more hard hitters:
‘People’s wealth the meanly fritters!’

At the right time drop microphone:
Now, your voice is a xylophone.
They all hear you, no

MOTIVES
emotion
  unravels
intentions
  are revealed

but
something
  is held
back
 in dreams
& illusions
perhaps
 so telling

 creative
imagination
or
a way of
coping


is but
a
 parody
so
personal
  where
 layers
slowly
   transform
understanding

NOTE:THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE   using spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols ,the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and responds thus making this enigmatic form a two way interplay & interpretatIon unique to the moment& changing according to mood is inherently variable.

Next Right Thing Next Right Motives

Woke early from bed, picked up the daily reader right away
To keep those insidious cravings at bay
After that I knew just what to do
I picked up the phone and called my sponsor too
We talked about the na program and some of things she said
Helped to clear those nagging cravings in my head
For some reason my

Could You Be My Dream More Rarely By Anna Akhmatova

Could you be my dream more rarely,
because we so often meet,
but temple of dark's seen barely 
with sadness of yours that's sweet.
And Seraph's laud is not sweeter 
than flattery of your lips. 
And name of my own does glitter
for you in this calm eclipse.

P.S. The poem is written under the influence of Anna Akhmatova.

True Motives

Moonbeams kiss on 
luscious curves of love
To reach and Stretch 
from skies above
Crystal snow flakes 
begin to dance
On frigid winters breeze 
as if by chance
Joining together before 
this winters eve
Harmonizing making 
ones heart believe
Twirling shinning bright 
as stars appear
Reflecting love as the 
eve draws near
Whispering flurries 
speak to my soul 
To tell of beauty that

Motives

I always question why I want to do this?
Why do I spent hours figuring out how to make a full-time living as a poet.
Should I be doing this as a profession?
Is questions I have on a regular basis.

I admit I have selfish reasons on why I'm doing this, but I wouldn't still be passionate about

Premium MemberThe Ulterior Motives Behind Dusting

The top shelves required dusting, so
			I looked for my stool high and low.
			No luck--but a chair
			would do. Then up there
			I cleaned that top shelf. It did glow.

			My cleaning cloths fell to the floor.
			I had to get down to find more.
			I dressed as I did
			because my man Sid
			was watching. Life's never a bore!

The Terror Motives

THE TERROR MOTIVES
Nzongi N. Mwero

They will not succeed,
The ones who take off their lives and other people’s lives,
Due to their dark minds and black brain,
Directing their images to the creator,
They think their souls go to heaven,
And given a better place

Always not successful ones,
They have bad place in heaven,
They are the doomed ones,
Have position in the

Question Your Motives

Fear is the Titan that crushes you underfoot

Fear is the assassin that prefers things discreet

Masses are steamrolled by its incredible force
Silently it takes you down without ever showing its source

We are all subject to the power it wields
Some overcome, yet too many yield

Some face it with sheer determination
They see it as a source for true
