Reaffirming Poems | Examples

Transmutation

we woke up early one morn, ego shorn
it felt as though we were in form reborn

nodes within stirred, boundaries blurred
our head and heart, with love concurred

let me be in the heavens, where bells sound
calming energies, can’t hear my heart pound

I affirm it is nirvana, here within all knowing                  
reaffirming our love, one that keeps growing

a promise kept by me, with all of my devotion
quenched and non-discreet, infinite emotion

Beneath the Strawberry Moon

Hoisting passions fervid, probing celestial height,
Hypnotized we stood, enthralled in smile of June,
Caressing dreams flirtatious of a romantic night,
Reaffirming love, beneath the strawberry moon.

Pulsing beats heavenly, fantasies esoteric chased,
Thrilling realm of love, resonating deep in your heart,
Content in your embrace, as memories intimate traced,
Echoes of promises eternal, forever vows impart.

Seeing you rejoiced, snuggled in my loving arms,
Nary a cloud dared to encumber cerulean skies,
As you navigated sight through opaline sea of stars
Tantalizing flame of passion, sparkling doting eyes,

Having been wooed by mystical glimpse of Luna,
Proffering blush of aura, tantalizing romance,
Bedecking tints orange upon luminous rosy awe
Seducing stance-entranced of enamored glance,

Gazing with throbbing hearts, where desires croon,
Hypnotized we stood, enthralled in smile of June,
Humming melodies, in sync with the celestial tune,
Reaffirming love, beneath the strawberry moon.

More Vs Less

Ate less today –
felt stronger
and healthier

worked smarter – 
while doing less seeming
to accomplish more

ignored many shallow
acquaintances...giving extra
time for deeper more meaningful
relationship with a carefully
chosen few

reaffirming to my mind
that only Love
needs no compromising....

Promise of Love

Jubilation of my triumph, comfort soothing sorrow,
Aspirations of my passions, today and tomorrow,
Reveling reveries-elysian that love brought to fore;
You are the gift I adore, smiling through my yore,
As tenor of forever-love reverberates in your sphere
When extolling you, dear, heartbeats-ardent cheer.

My dear, when I am with you, how fervid souls coo,
Lauding promise of love, mirthful impulses renew,
For you are my musings, my esoteric zealous dream,
My sensuous sassy dawn, hosting romantic theme,
Unfolding treasured albums endearing vibes reveal,
My precious gem of life, sparkling amorous appeal.

Rhythms of my heart, how within your heart attune,
While rejoicing gift of love endearing spirits croon
Vowing pledges eternal, reaffirming bonds anew,
Conferring in lyrics of love, streaming just for you,
For you are my melody, strumming love’s encore~
My verse and sweet chorus: I love you ever more.

Wonderful Gift of Life

Wonderful gift of life 
By Michelle Morris
05/09/2022

It's raining on my birthday
What a wonderful gift of life
The grass will be green again
Reaffirming nature's might

Her resilience is a lesson
For each and every one of us
So many bountiful blessings
To our families and ourselves

The soil thirsts for water
Like our souls search for the light
Nature and the Universe
All part of God's creations bright

The flowers bloom in wonder
Leaves decorate the trees
The ocean and rivers swell
With Heaven's emotional release 

Every day is a blessing
Each birthday another year
May we all make the most of them
With our loved ones near and dear 

May the light we seek be brilliant
Highlighting all that is good in us
And may we feel eternally grateful
For the loving gifts from above 

No matter where you live
No matter what you believe
I wish the very best of nature
Will bless you with graceful ease

Purr-Purr-Purr

Waddling in like a drunken shadow,
my portly belly cannot pass unseen.
And once spotted, I meow my hello
regal-like, reaffirming I'm their queen.

I'm finicky and won't use my litter
unless it's paw-print deep and freshly cleaned.
And yet, though somewhat slow, I'm no quitter,
keeping myself meticulously preened.

I'm attended by my subjects, my two friends,
who have pampered and groomed me from the start.
And I trust they will until my life ends, 
for we have bonded, heart, to heart, to heart.

And when one brushes my ebony fur,
I snuggle in their lap and purr, purr, purr.

Rejuvenation

From banishing all nighttime fears
My inner goddess awakens
Suffused in dawn’s golden, haloed ray
Lauds homage to the primeval code
Reaffirming and rejuvenating once more
Charged to accomplish all that a new day brings

Childlike Wonderment

we 
perceive,
colouring
the cognition,
interpreting it
as of the convenience 
of our mind body combine,
reaffirming narrow thinking,
thus self-imprisoning self therein,
until we choose to dwell in cessation.

if only each time, be like the first time,
feeling each life pulse in wonderment,
delighting in offered surprise,
whilst resting our lower mind,
we embrace and release
flow of life with ease,
free and unbound,
our presence,
full of
joy.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year

Be not pugnacious accomplices unwilling?
To ring in the New Year with festive greetings.
Open hearts freely, and air out old grievances.
Welcome spontaneity with forgiveness.

And seek solace with jovial acquaintances,
Reaffirming reliance in alliances.
Time is a human condition of realism,
Involving biological magnetism.

Were this enlivened fest to last forever?
How bright the outlook for future endeavours?
How flat the path to higher expectations?
With friendship extended in merry convention.

There, in the midst, with an imparted party cheer,
A kiss on my love’s lips, and “Happy New Year!”

Stepping Out of the Grave

You have to be immortal
to placate the gods

Time reaffirming
all memory of

Creation, destruction,
eternity looms

For those who believe
—appeasement exhumes 

(Calvary Cemetery: October, 2020)

Divinity of Self

Beyond every question…
God is the answer
filling in the gaps of our imperfection
offering hope in the face of despair
light to shine through the darkness
and promise
when abandonment is all we feel
lifting the burden that covers our greatness
reaffirming our choices
strengthening our wills on the forge of His power
unblocking the final entryway
—to ourselves divine

(The Book Of Prayers: October, 2020)

A Kiss For This World

all doubts    swept away
        charged with energy
now
     ecstatic
             agonised   protracted
             monumental
             belonging
               from the past
a disregard
       in
          notional transendence
   embraced
         then dwindling rapidly
         changed to the sublime
          from
             what might be

the eternal
       creative&intense
        personal
              with significance
an embracing vision
         contradictory
               yet
                  reaffirming

Gold At the End of the Rainbow

Simple reminder in Genesis 9
rainbow we see in the cloud,
sign from our God that He honors His Word.
Balaam affirms the demeanor of God.
Numbers gives verification -
God is not human for He does not lie.
Six,  if not seven, bad habits God hates;
chronicled down in the Proverbs -
lying – deception is listed twice.
All of us need to endorse such a rainbow;
speaking no lies; reaffirming our word,
earning pure gold in the end.

August 14, 2019

Inspired by these biblical references:  
   Genesis 9:12-16; 
   Numbers  23:19; 
   Proverbs 6:16-19.

Communication

Communication
Talking, Singing, Dancing,
Writing, Drawing, Praying,
Signing, Listening, Seeing,
Reading, Cooing, Touching,
Bridges in a list few,
That allow One to Two.
Or Expansion of One,
If the Ability to Be Common,
Is Ever Shrunk, Compromised,
The Feelings Become Numb,
We are Un-Mistakenly Downsized!
Laryngitis, Soundless, Sightless,
Senseless, Absence of Hand-Eye 'Ation,
Robs Togetherness, Socialization,
Leaves Us Cast Out of the Nest,
Pilfers the Spirit of Essence,
Drastically Diminished & Lessened,
But Perhaps the Worst Singleness,
Is to be Alone in a Crowd,
Where They Choose Their Game,
 Foreignly, Ours is Not the Same,
 Then, Sidetracked On Our Own,
We Grow in Dishes Petri,
Rhythmically Communicating Poetry,
Layered Verse Reaffirming Terse,
Each Syncopation a Prayer,
Gratitude Individually Communed,
Catalyzing December to June!

The River

Flowing ceaselessly with power and purpose,
Touching countless lives and no two in the same way,
With power enough to end life and more often reaffirming, cleansing life,
A constant tension overshadowing a peaceful flow,
I sit beside the river and see myself reflected within.
