Premium Member Never Say Never

Steadfast faith
upholds my spirit
anchored by God's divine grace
conquering weakness midst adversities' angst
striving to persist
bouncing up against failures
recognizing my human nature flaws, yet conscientiously advancing
always prevailing with "never-say-never" maxim
since I can do all things through Christ Who fortifies me...
sharing blest loving kindness triumphantly.

Premium Member never say never

never is an absolute
       just as always is
making a promise using the word never
       is a foolish thing to do
how many hearts have been broken by someone
   saying they would never leave the one they loved
war, divorce, and disease can deliver grievous blows
      to those who are told
              the inevitable lie
                             of never

Never Say Never

Mother once told me to trust a man is like giving your life away on a silver platter.I didn’t understand at first, but as I got older, I grew wiser and more understanding.Soon enough, I saw what she meant, but I ignored her—a fatal mistake that would undo me.My husband impregnated me; I had a daughter, then a son.I tried to teach the same lesson my mother tried to teach me to my daughter.I swore I would never become like my mother; foolish mistake, for I have to say never.Now I see why people say never say never.

NEVER SAY NEVER

My father always told me
“Never refuse a challenge.
Take each opportunity
To broaden your horizon.”

And, all through life, I’ve tried my best to follow his advice.
However hard the task may have been, so far I’ve never said never.

Last month I was persuaded,
Against my better judgement,
To jump out of an aircraft
And parachute to the ground.

I wish now I’d said, “Never,”
The parachute malfunctioned.
And that’s why I’m sending this final poem
From six feet below the earth.

Premium Member Never Say Never

a single word oath
never
doesn’t last
swear it
by those empty giant nuts
for what’s more powerful is our beating heart
if fate jokes
a bow and arrow bend swerving at right path
so save the last corn
before a fowl could swallow after a snatch

[Poet’s Note in Comments Section of Poem ]

two companeros sorting revolutionary literature
in spirit’s gap unwrapping gifts knowing fresh
labour ! sabre cops might have followed us hot 
cops never come on Saturdays  —  they watch rugby* remarks she blithely
work births experience dissolving glib speak
stealthily arrived contingent of state security police    stalking 
books, pamphlets, writings, ephemera, poems 
confiscated     not lovingly touched again 
never say never self-assured confident

Premium Member Never Say Never


If you are struck by the thunder of torment, 
the lightning lancet of distress shears your heart, 
nonchalant you may resolve relaxed to never cry.

Solace sprouting from the compassion of someone dear,
bearing your load of anguish,
may melt the mists of your mind, sworn to never dissolve, 
surge at unexpected touch,
and flow silently in the torrents of tears,
underscore never say never recognizes life’s fluidity 
in the rational refusal to fold future in finality.

Never Say Never

The Way is silent,
It was not to be, nor was it not to be.
There are no questions,
Not even a word.
Never say never,
I know that I know nothing.
Being is in Becoming.
So is life.
Paradoxical.
So I will say these things, so I will live, as only the nonsensical can make sense of this.

NEVER SAY NEVER

To have and to hold—
In: sickness and health 
In: good times and awful terrible times 
In: spite of a coworker 
who challenges my very decrepit paradigm 
with a new world 
who sends lightning bolts down my spine 
by touching me in passing 
who changes my mind-life-soul forever
—Till death do us part

Premium Member NEVER SAY NEVER-

NEVER SAY NEVER…. not ever or at no time possible is anything dormant
a blindman can see things without his eyes envisioned and focus
A face can be wash with just the tears flowing from
Just because you’re a man doesn’t mean you weak if you cry out
You can truly, truly, make it if you don’t give up just try free will
Open mindedness is the blank thought that can be virility filled
Never use never narrative because it leaves no room for changing
Because of dislikes and hardships, dislikes or doubting keep going
Even a deaf person can hear a vison sound beats within the hearts-eyes reign
Being uncertain certain that change is a thing nothing permanent wait for a change

Premium Member never say never

the homeless man who is begging for money
most believe he must be a drug addict or convict
what if you lost your home, your job, your spouse and alone?
you could end up beside him, lost and hopeless

the cheaters, liars and dishonest people
most think they do not know or associate with them
as they sit in the church pews every Sunday
pretending to be honest, pure and holy
some are teachers, bankers, police officers
a facade to fool the best judges of character

I never thought that I would say this out loud
but the quality of AI-poetry 
has unexpectedly taken a turn for the worse

where are the days when it regurgitated 
plagiarised phrases

where are the days when it made gallant efforts
to emulate Suzette Prime

I guess that it hinges on which programme one uses

I never thought that I would say this at all
but clankers have hallucinated themselves into irrelevance

Premium Member never say never

why say, "never say never"?
hope can be the devil's tool
accepting the impossible can give peace 
yet, all that was true, one day, isn't true anymore
perhaps
leave a crack in your resolve
for light to get through

Premium Member Never Say Never


      Never say, " Never " , ever you survive
      Try to reach goal so long you are to live !
     Devote, Dedicate ! Have confidence :
     Try and try to acquire competence !
      Why not ?  Nothing is impossible :
       Have strength, courage to make possible !

       Explore your life acceptance as challenge --
      Struggle and struggle at every step 
     Neither to give up nor to escape.
     To overcome, work hard and arrange.
