Short Cede Poems

His piercing stare
     strips the pretense 
       from my soul

     Held up to His mirror
       my eyes cede control...

R ainbows arc high in the blue skies above,
A s downpours cede slowly away,
I can't help but to be amazed - and love,
N ature's color palette display!...

A musician splits a chord of would
Super Hero where's a bright read hood

The baker gently needs his doe
A gardener has her cede to sew

Something old, something gnu 
something borrowed, something blew...

Sense based awareness 
Amplified by thought
Fulcrum mind body
Limited spectrum
Delusion results

Objects fleeting
Not eternal
Mere imagery
An illusion

When we cede
Ego thought
Heart awakes

We then
Dwell in

Void

breath, gone
you drip moonlight
blue, wan ...

thru shades -
skin and tresses
soft braids

cede sleep
limbs and percale
swim ... deep.

Only tempest and decrepit,
Blackened and lost souls.
Covet and seek,
For something much more.

Never sway, never cede.
The blessed seek nothing more.
The Blessed are those-who with faith.
Who with FAITH fill their soul!

Day and night, God search our focus
Fears and desires recede
We waver not from love locus
Our will to divine cede

No secrets to ferret
Judge not fault or merit
Climbing to the summit

Bliss delight

Bliss throb heightens, as we look on
Awareness self-aware
Each moment die and are reborn
For life, nary a care

Our attachments recede
To God, our will we cede
Erst ferality weed

Aura brightens 
Bliss throb heightens

Cede control that which causes problems
Open your mind and thought on healings
Meditate allowing your mind take control
Free yourself from that wears you down
Only you can take control that affect you
Remind yourself you can heal yourself
Trust in your healing power of your mind...

Standing on the crossroads
When a choice you make
The roads that go far
The voyage is at stake.
You could just stroll
You could procrastinate
Until you lose track
Lose faith in 'fate'
Walk a lane on whim
Cede to 'the unchaste'
Steer the ship yourself
Better you than Him to curate...

  The noise and the grime
    the mushrooming crime
  junkies and beggars abound

  Strange folks in your face
    steal your car, spray some mace
  Who wants to vacation downtown ...
  
  This year I'll cede culture
    to the buzzard and vulture
  as in soft meadows I lie 

...

Soul upbeat, in the joy current
All earthy goals recede
In time stretched stillness, heart vibrant
Our will to God we cede

Mind-body hollow shell
Bliss continues to swell 
No desires left to quell

Meet and greet
Soul upbeat

Often, I have to challenge the words, 
after they’re written

Often, I struggle to understand, 
what the Muse is trying to say 

Often, I have to cede the ground,
that buttresses my thinking

Often, the voices calling out
—are strangers to my ear

You walked in woods with gun.
Oh! must be a great fun; yes it
was, but tiger came; quit
no, I couldn't; I freeze; It stared at
me. You should've fired; that
is right; but I couldn't; gat fell down
It acted fast, no frown.
As it came near, I's brown; cede gun.

Vests in reds that breed
All good in hearts that feed
Laces in reds that exceed
Embraces in hearts that speed
No cold hearts decreed
That all broken hearts should bleed
In time all hearts will cede
Never on thorns or spikes that seed
Ever will true and loving hearts shall weed
Soft or hard, hearts will concede...

abandoned by love
surrendered in callous haste-
deserted with cede
renounced with such heartless ease- 
please release me with mercy

your freedom my chains
easily given away-
relinquished desire
submissive with my heart and
resigned without a notice

Tempo e sucesso

Em todas as décadas, 
empreendedores (as) bem sucedidos 
usam o tempo
em seu favor.

Nesta década,
na próxima década
como todos os tempos, 
é muito bom saber o que fazer com o tempo.

Quem força o tempo
é recuado pelo tempo; 
quem cede ao tempo, 
no caminho para o sucesso
faz mais com o tempo....

Winter topples the 
sting 
of muddled tongue.

The bottle 
breaks the stasis
of eye.

I cede the smile 
of history.
Somebody has left the home.

I become my enemy 
in dark
for the acid taste of truth.

The moon 
had the malignant stain.
My shirt has become dirty.

O god,
I never believed in you
nor in your ugly world !

God I have to say
I will never understand
Of how You are doing things
Of how You want things
I just don’t understand
It’s impossible for me to comprehend
What You want is totally different from mine
And it is driving my patience
My tolerance wild
Is it your way of teaching me things?
If it is so 
You are succeed
Because God
I cede
You reign...

Squirrels Need More Dough

Two fighting squirrels spread seeds deep of dread
As onward spite bleeds the forest bed red.
Tucked deer and geese cede to their dying creed
Taking speed pass tufts of fur crying heed.
O forest clones, thus breeds beauty not weed
For ugly head's absence of breaking bread.

Nestes dias

Na vida e nos negócios
nesses tempos mais do que antes;
tudo flui e nada permanece; 
tudo cede e nada fica fixo.

Nesses tempos mais do que antes;
coisas legais acontecem
tudo faz parte, 
do processo de exploração e descoberta. 

Nesses tempos mais do que antes;
seguimos unidas umas as outras 
como crianças brincando;
fazemos cada vez
mais e mais....

I have agreed to cede 
an unwritten moon
in a killing frenzy,
for a chequered spirituality.

Now visitation will start 
ravishing the light at dawn.
The grievers will assemble
for a final scoop of dust.

Forgive my star,
for a failed touchdown.
A child stands before glitterati
born again to suffer the other sky.

Nothing comes out of nothing.
The circle was complete.

Tedious of ephemeral dreams
I prefer to be in a coma
If my thoughts are where you reside
I shall close my eyes for eternity
My empyreal cerebrations
ostend the painstaking reality
that a body of water
has unlinked us both
Thus far, I have survived
without your company,
which is what keeps me sane,
and secure; That if I were
to cede it, I shall go sightless
And life shall lose it's felicity...

Battalion column coup de grace;
It’s what was planned, but didn’t work that way.
We’ve bled all our embarrassments
At bayonet point and now must cede the day.
God damn the blasted cavalry;
They’ve left this muddy field a bloody pool.
All hell for the artillery;
I’d like to face one gunner in a duel.
It’s over, done and finished with.
The very best withdraw in disarray.
La Garde reculé....

I try to think, 
not to think of you; 
cede hope to candor.

You will not contribute, 
to your own rape, of truth; 
rediscovering the shame.

The modesty will not sit 
on the stigmata. 
Moths were becoming defiant.

Copiously drenched, 
under the wet moon, 
a poem will seek a title.

It returns back, the 
kiss, you sent for the flame. 
It was very hot, the farewell.
