Short Constitutes Poems

A wise man,

Not the myriads of fools,

Constitutes the majority

In

The realm of truth!

Profundity


            It is not the size of the brain that constitutes high intelligence

            It is the profundity of the essence within that exudes radiance...

It is not 

The abundance of things we possess 

That 

Constitutes our wealth, my dear friend, 

But 

The number of virtues our heart enjoys!

Beauty and Glamour are to be maintained,
So that to Shine, to Dazzle and to Flair,
Marching unanimously hand-in-hand.
The Inner Beauty is more self-contained,
Unselfishly with much more time to spare
To figure out what constitutes a Man.

inter molecular forces 
of love constitutes
the foundation of the 
structure of virtues
in the system
dogs were eating quietly
the interplay of warmth
long ranging arrows of compassion
electrostatic induction
of the dispersion forces
of war and hatred disappears
to one love
sun is hiding slowly to
come back again...

Our 

character constitutes 

the path to success in life

that

was engraved by God himself 

for

to guide us fulfill, our destiny,

after an unending strife!

What constitutes us  is the loving gaze
We’re held and seen  and so we know ourself
Long shadows from the past and childhood days
Connect us to the life   in us displayed
Words come later,phrase by holy phrase.
Freely given love’ s our  human wealth
What constitutes us  is the loving gaze
We’re held and seen  and so we know ourself...

Oh my Lord forgive all those blasphemers who in their immeasurable ignorance a sinner they dare to call you!*

* When we refer to God we have to be careful not to call Him a sinner, as a fellow poet has done. This constitutes blasphemy and Hubris. She also my "Defending The Lord"...

Being a prostitute,
                                     Is not a substitute-
                                     When one is destitute, 
                                     Cos it tarnishes the image, one constitutes!

Nice People
Are for the world’s
Days and Nights
Twinkling the hallucinations in both

Friends
Are for the good
And the bad
That makes up the hallucinations

Best Friends 
Are the potent vigour
That Hallucinates your
Every progressive motion

Family composes
The Easter bunnies
Santa’s deer’s
Amorous, jovial, and accurate

And these hallucinations
Dire?
Or are they constitutes
To plainly make you blissful...

I think that I may never see a
tree's sounds lovely as onomatopoeia

to see, to hear, just too profound
sound beats cool on worded ground

ain't it funny to hear a word
that IS what it is, coolly absurd

you may ask what constitutes onomatopoeia
can't say exactly, but hear it when I see it

She strode from her apartment door
Right to a chauffeured car
In workout clothes, so I suppose
She wasn’t going far.

The lifestyles of the rich, I guess,
Are not like mine or yours.
The luxury of what might be
Is more than opened doors.

It constitutes a life of ease
Where ordinary stress
Just disappears and with it, fears
The rest of us possess.

It doesn’t mean they’re happier,
Despite their lavish means;
But how I’d thrive with one to drive
As I plied my routines!...

Thy wart-encrusted maw compellingly
constitutes a convalescant contrast
of pulchritude, most evident in earnest
and effervescent cockcrow light,
 
a visage matched by the craven beige
mundanity of oneself's soiled linens
which thou art so unpleasingly 
plastered against, decumbent
and dishabille
 
the illusion of chivalry
persists into mid-morning, slightly
ante-bruncheon, climaxing
with a most unpunctilious proclamation:
 
Thou droning whoreson baggage!...

A pair of combat boots in black,
Abandoned on the top
Of the ramp right by the river
Brought me to a sudden stop.

Beside them was a khaki shirt,
Its arms tied to the rail.
Together they suggested
That their owner tried to bail.

For a leap into the river,
When nobody is about,
Seems to be a way to end one’s life,
An urban exit out.

There might be an explanation,
Unlike mine, about those boots,
But the evidence implies my theory’s
What this constitutes.

I've never tasted life, as the elite,
Nor been advantaged with copiousness;

But I've reveled in success,
And likewise, endured the anguish,
And frustration of defeat;

But still,
I won't impugn, those, having thoughts
That I've accumulated much;
"For little, is much, when God is in it."

For as,
God has readied each day,
He has situated me, with farish health,
To continue plowing on;

Perhaps this does infer,
That just being, places me among them.
