Short Determinedly Poems

Show me a suit that fits comfortably
      Underneath is a body toned to a 'T'

   Covering up God's imperfection determinedly
      The rest of us stew in silent agony...

I looked
at the bird whistling gleefully in the tree,
the squirrel diving for acorns in the fallen leaves,
the ant determinedly rebuilding his home,
the lake licking the moist sand,
the cloud painting a delicate backdrop,
and the sun giving life to this beautiful day....

bright eyes gleaming with mischief
gentle compassionate views
determinedly ambitious
me sober and free

glazed eyes full of hate and fear
anger mixed with self pity
high drama - no coping skills
alcoholic me

come hither and dance my sweet
we will revive the stars and the moon
gods of the cosmos will be jealous
our moves will be exquisitely our own

I did not hesitate when he held out his hand
it was warm, firm, determinedly manly,
his smile warmed my face and my heart
I heard a giggle, not realizing it was mine...

A blowing season moans mournfully
rising with fearful anger
and singing determinedly in passion. 
Chilling the air around me
makes way for natures winter slumber.

Winters sun disappears
in shades of violet,
this season grows with anger.
A wintry wind now sings in blue layers,
stars twinkle through the darkness
and nature displays her glory....

I walked the golden mile
Where I sought to be
Without a notion who marred
Familiarity drew endlessly further away
So incomplete I eventually became

So unquestionably I commenced
Yet vacant I ended
Without even a doubt
I determinedly stood apart

My heart bleeds
Vile words enter
Mediocrity somewhat dreamlike

My world
Falls apart:

Anarchy...

I maintain we are rude
Not only when our manners are crude, 
Determinedly wolf down our food,
Our dressing hopelessly nude,
Publicly start a feud,
Into others affairs intrude,
Keep laughing as others brood
But also when others are in a meditative mood
And have up stood
And we are still sitting down
Like one waiting for a cup of coffee, chocolate brown!...

determinedly traveling around and around
traveling in a circular motion
doing the same thing daily
enjoying nothing

spinning her wheels
loudly so others can admire
no one does

Using so much energy
showing it proudly
accomplishing nothing new

stuck in a rut, that cycles like a turntable
no one suggests any more
she is determined

traveling no where
seeing the same results
never jumping off her unproductive cycle....

Love Is as strong as
the Mountains
standing
Majestically,
Love Flows like the
stream constant and
determinedly.
Love is as the Blue
skies, beautiful and
Breathtaking,
Love is an Emotion,
embedded in us, of
God's making.
Love is as free as
the birds that soar
in free flight,
Love is a force that
is overpowering full
of might.
Love is what I shall
give to you ever
growing,
Love is what we will
share constantly
flowering.

This season spoils with orchestral splendor 
A cloud beams in irrepresible render
Spreading opulently past the stars
And raindrops fall from the sky jars

A crying ladybird groans tearfully 
Quailing with blackened fury
And hoping determinedly in delightful twists
As winter-end cavorts playfully in chilly mists

At the point, when the cool is gone, evermore
And skies do not dim anymore
Awaken me with the cries of feathered friends
When the warm twist blows toward me ascends...
