Half As Much Heard

There was a man you would think absurd
For he whispered every other word
This done by choice
To save his voice
I guess you'd say he was culling the heard!

I'M a Winner

Of course I am too
smart to fail
Because in this
Life I am by choice;
Too large for worry,
Too noble for anger,
Too strong for fear,
I am indeed
A winner.


Fading Into the Background

In a group of more than two, I
Move slowly behind, not by choice.
Heartfelt conversations one day, the next,
Empty chatlogs.
Rather like I'm invisible,
Except

Take The Chance

Take The Chance

Born by Chance with no choice
Except to Live -
Brings to Life the chance
To Choose to Live by Choice.

we spoke in sweet voice

                    of the love we found by chance
 
                          and then lost by choice

Kind

Let’s empower our strength with knowledge
Let’s teach ourselves to calm our spirit
Let’s feed our soul with kindness...

Peace is achieved by choice NOT by violence. 

Faith

How does one define Faith?
It’s unseen; but you can see it in people
It’s untouchable; yet felt inside
It’s trust of the unknown; yet unexplained
It’s in one’s soul or absent by choice.

Premium Member Life When Turns Petals of Remembrance

You and me
And the tree called desire
It sprouted by choice
Untimely wiped off!

Believe me!
No one is sinner!

How can I name such a life?

Life when turns petals of 
Remembrance!

Naughty By Choice

There is a jolly man this time of year
who shakes and rolls from ear to grinning ear,
so while he laughs like mad
there are some who are sad...
that lump of stocking coal brings them a tear.

Moment - Living Forever

A Potential collapsed made by choice,
A Vibration only till a ear hears its noise,
A Universe forever changed by just one voice,
A Forever stitched with moments, lets rejoice.

Premium Member Sits Silent

steadfast stars aloft 
in a somber black mood; 
ship's sails billow 
across celestial waves

wind awakens blows
memories not wiped away, 
time’s buoyant rides 
'twas by choice

Clouded By Choice

What's goin on with this
an organized mess
tragic while impulsive
living the stress
robotic,when the auto-pilot's on
cutting oneself off from experience...
no lyrics
in your self-destructive song

Knowing we can be perfect by Choice
Is a scary thing

We can make the decision to do what's right
Yet so many of us choose not to
In fear of failing

But how can we fail when it's the right thing to do?

A teacher by choice, a poet by chance and a wife and mother blest
Sensitive to such extent that even others’ misery moves me to tears.
Time has mellowed me, still like a child, touchy and itchy.

Premium Member a child by chance

A child by chance
Adopted by choice
Loved by many

Two brilliant mothers
One run away father
A wonderful dad

Her choices were many
Her talents were plenty
Happily ever after happened
For a child of chance

Hosiah's Vow

You can only change
what is
with what isn’t
Where you Christen
this moment 
by choice
You can only bless 
tomorrow
through memory
Where you choose
to be free
— and rejoice

An Irish Poet

Irish Poet by choice,
  the teachers did fail

Because of my voice,
  not to their unavail

The structures they hammered,
  the forms they imposed

All lost to my whimsy
—myself I then chose

An Irish Poet

Irish by choice,
  the teachers did fail

Attacking my voice,
  as a group to assail

The structures they hammered,
  the forms they imposed

All lost to my whimsy
  —whose words I then chose
