Short Permitting Poems

Mental insanity
And Christianity
Aren’t really synonyms,
Most of the time.
Still, it’s befitting
(The reader permitting)
To notice how closely they rhyme....

It's been a floundering faith
Permitting teeny-weeny things that matter
But remembering the wonders of the Cross
The guiltless Son crushed by my guilt
I look to His blood-stained body
With tears seeking for the flaming faith....

No light shines through shaded glass
As windows now keep out the day
For they are drawn and down so fast
Permitting me no time to play

It’s better, sealed behind these walls
Though illness now has taken hold
To answer then, when nature calls
For so much worse than just a cold...

Presumably possibly permitting pairs of problems pertinently pertaining to
paraphrasing pitifully passes out postulates.

Good heavens. Did I actually write that and is it really an alliteration?
I need a contradiction category contrary to popular belief.

I’ve waited I guess a lifetime
before permitting you to take control
yes waiting in anticipation
while you readily touch me whole,
yet still the mind one’s haven
in which life’s opulent chase to bathe
between the pierce of your dagger
that now stabs me every single day.

Hills pull their blankets out
and leave bare their naked spines
permitting Junes and me
to Summer there

Streams must appear to Him
as traveling caravans
The painted leaves like prisms do
with hues of rumpled Persian rugs

All seems Persia has pulled it's banners out
and march off to the sea
Turbaned poplars and lakes like tents
Is it jocosity?...

To be in such profound presence 
Witnessing mother birth child human creation 
I can barely hope ecstasy permitting
Amidst a back drop of love, panic and fear
This dream unfurled come to fruition ordained under holly communion
Love above love be fulfilled 
And from this day forth
No mother shall bear witness to a child killed 
Nor innocent blood spilled...

Wind is whipping, boats are zipping
On this lovely day.
Kids are skipping, trees are dipping;
Doesn’t feel like May.

It’s inviting, though, for writing;
Sunshine’s on display.
Bugs aren’t biting, no one’s fighting;
Stress remains at bay.

As I’m sitting, it seems fitting
Thoughts I can convey.
Time permitting, I’ll stay flitting 
All my cares away....

When walking barefoot trough the grass you will feel a tantilizing tingle.
Connecting your soul to the earth is advised permitting your toes and grass to mingle.
The earth transfers energy through the body and cleanes free radical through the soul.
Enhancing your health by walking barefoot connecting to mother earth for fifteen or more minutes a day should be a daily goal. ...

Aspirations at a premium
Expectation driven lust
Excess has killed the medium
Permitting, perfection dust

Sparkling particles rise
Releasing a glittered glow
But the fairytale subsides
Before our arms can grow

We beg and plead
Wish, hope and pray
Supported by knees
We wish life away

For tomorrow, we wait
While mourning, days passed
Next time will be great 
But get it here fast...

Her sultry eyes make me quiver,
The way her skin feels, sends me to shiver;
How her dynamic curves bend straight through,
Helps create her attraction, with nothing to rue;
Water shimmies off her lustrous skin,
Permitting her image, a clear vision;
Her miraculous glance, deep and wide,
Enables her to see from the inside;
These traits make me want to be with her,
The combine to form her dramatic allure.

Oh my God, I will ever be faithful and true.
You help me in all the things that I say and do.

As long as I remember, to worship and obey.
You, the mighty one in whom I give thanks and pray.

So God please remind me each day and night.
To allow your Holy Grace, to fill me with delight.

Permitting me to bask in Jesus' Salvation of Glorious Light.
In order to protect me from Satan's demons and unholy fright....

 As stated in the heart of the Warriors creed, Warriors are not the ones who always win, they are the ones who always fight.
They are the ones that eradicate sin and shatter the darkness with their eternal ethereal  glowing light.
When seeing injustice, they turn not the blind eye by permitting it to continue in silence.
Diplomacy, concern, consideration and love takes precedence in any case of unnecessary violence. ...

The soft spoken
weariness of politicians,
their secret hope
the long,
unhappy dream of the fathers
would 
stop dead in its tracks,
like homes under siege 
encased in decaying dreams.....
permitting  a new day to burst forth,
a pseudo resurrection,
one more chance to ride the coattails of
an ever expanding universe.
  Easter calls its halt,
a remembrance 
that stops the short lived chatter
to contemplate the risen....

Were I adept at shape-shifting
I would avoid shadow-lifting
And eschew re-gifting,
I would spend more time sifting
Through forms more befitting
And most likely give up babysitting!

Were I adept at shape-shifting
I think I would consider quitting,
Or at least admitting,
Shape-shifting is hair-splitting
All things possible permitting,
And take up crochet or knitting!

I
Yes, not profane but science
Confirms black Holes through gravity
And white holes, even for seconds,
In this vast universe, births and deaths
II
If black Holes gobble, white holes
Burp, and allow matter quick exits
For the universe is like us
In having a mouth and an "anus" -
Yet to be fully tested, gadgets permitting
Of course. Yet to write: universe as a canvas
But also a net into which rocks, debris fall
Do they require to be digested?...

Get up
Thank God for another day
Shower, shave, if necessary
Get dressed
Grab a cup of life, java.
Meet the other commuters
Sleep, with music in ears
Get up
Walk to my building
Grab another cup of life
Answer phones
Fix problems
Write and review, time permitting
Lunch!
Answer phones
Write and review, time permitting
Obey the boss
Time to leave!
Meet the commuters again
Sleep, with music in ears
Step from the bus

I’m free, thank God!...

Do you agree 
With me
And my right
Honorable friends
That thinking 
Occurs 
Without blinking

Absolutely 
Thinking 
Without blinking,
Prohibits 
Smoking and drinking
However, 
Connecting and linking
Relates to 
Sailing and sinking
Clearly, 
Your recommendation 
And ongoing 
Investigation, 
Permitting 
The documentation 
Be submitted 
And approved 
By the king 
Of nothing
Thus, creating 
A void 
In the process 
Of critical thinking...

Limitless in length and breadth
Beyond measure in depth 
Akash is the greatest field
Sheltering innumerable things docile and wild 
Undisturbed, calm and peaceful
Truly resourceful
It never feels with anybody to compete 
Permitting everything to pass through it.   

Mountains, clouds, lightning and rains 
Anything else like falling chieftains 
Are temporary phenomena
Episodes in a drama  
Vanishing waves in the river tide  
Bubbles in the sea vast and wide....

Don’t  dare be A Gold Digger,
Who pays like A  
Never one's treasures near
While permitting no fear.

Never either bestride a farm 
That didn’t weary your arm
Nor try to closer go 
To any of its inviting row,
For one should not  at all experience charm 
Of what didn’t occasion one harm:
To never dare reap 
What didn’t for you grow 
Not amass in a heap 
What another did sow

Many a gold digger has ended like a fowl 
And very few felt they should wear a scowl....

Each time he emerged the best,
Puffed up his hairy chest,
And loudly slapped his breast,
His announced triumph a bantam’s crest,
The next man permitting no rest …
Now in the East, soon storming the West,
The-from-Northern-Hong-Kong,
Dead sure that he is King Kong:
A styling as itinerant guest,
And a triggered-by-victory zest.

But anyone can his title belt wrest,
And cause give him to try a long rest,
Unless one doesn’t as much thirst
For restless happiness of The First....

The baleful words you say,
Leave painful scars in me
Permitting them to possess my heart 
Oppressively. 
Withstanding the bitterness and pain
You caused, 
Conquering and diminishing me 
By using your atrocity, 
Feeling sadness flowing violently, 
Warding happiness away, 
Filling my eyes with hurtful tears 
And meaningful pain, 
Feeling the darkness reign.
God, 
You’re my ally,
You’re the one I stand still for, 
Forgive my sins, 
Ease my pain, 
Reborn the me in me again......
