Retrievals Poems | Examples


Premium MemberFull Circle

I wonder what it'll take to go full circle
and find my way back home with You?
Although I might be as slow as a turtle
Your love will guide me when I'm true.

I’ll finish up then as I began being a child of Yours
having knocked on so many of life’s secret doors.
But even though I've yet to find all the right answers
at this stage of my life there have been some advances.

My feelings towards You now seem to have changed
but this shouldn’t be a reason for us to feel estranged.
Love's a universal magnet that draws everything together
we shouldn’t mind passing through some stormy weather.

In a world of constant change there are many upheavals
but love often does get stronger when there are retrievals.
It’s something of a realization by which we come to know
that as love completes a full circle perfection it will show.

How long will it take to go full circle
to find my way back home with You?
It seems I'm just as slow as a turtle
but is Love guiding me and am I true?

Premium MemberFig Leaf

An alluring art of vivacious symbols and meanings,
Fig leaf has many religious political leanings;  
Though apple was the fruit Adam and Eve had once eaten,
It's fig leaf that had hidden them when they felt browbeaten...!

Wrapping our physic we do; though not in pageant parades, 
Psychic volcanoes we cover up with gold-gleaming shades; 
Odors of festering wounds are hidden by fragrant scent,
Do all these, yet, grand to our hearts, aptly needed vent...?

Do all polished stones turn precious diamond or sapphire?
Do toy-guns in battles, like cannons and tanks blow fire?
When make-up peels off, physic would its true complexion show,
Though buried within darkest shadows, sun will, surely, glow...! 

Hypocrisy was what Jesus hated most in humans,
In light of truth, he said, darkness of hearts should illumine;
Washing should be both within and without of the vessels,
Whitewashing the sepulchers? Values need true retrievals!

Shielding sins have been constituent of human nature,
In doing so, we turn hilarious caricature; 
Growing out of inner deficiencies, is a must,
Fig leaves might fade off; Fig trees must grow, in strength so robust...!
