Short Reserves Poems

The society ousted some of it’s members and branded them as reserves
Now to look at the whole society it itself has become a massive reserve!...

Swat by hands of spite,
our sprite 
(unsquelched)
sprinkles from her reserves
to revive a sacred rite;

in her hands,
speckles of if
become when....

A shortage of bacon reserves
Has Willie, pork lover, in nerves
Willie says drat
Without pig fat
I just might lose all my curves

Between now and then much energy you spend…
Draining your reserves and causing your head to spin…
But if you were to STOP… and focus on something new…
You may discover pleasure and relaxation grew…...

Does the U.S. Constitution speak of marriage at all
   Does it restrict giving birth to the Spring or the Fall…

The Bill of Rights reserves many matters to the states
   When federal courts interfere, what a mess they create...

Observe Your serve,
When you're on the last nerve,
Your mind Leaves the preserve,
Swerving into Emotional reserves,
Be sure to observe what you serve,
As you swerve into a dangerous curve,
You may get something you don't deserve.

Cold
winter
sheds its coat
and waves goodbye;
we welcome the spring.
Rejoice and sing
at Easter's
pending
warmth.

Joy
rises,
blooms anew.
The greening up
of nature's reserves.
Faith that mankind
too will thrive
past death's
curse.

reserves
       depleted
    entrenched
in
feebleness
    strengthless
      self-centred
ego
to
the fore
        the
        tempest
rages
all around
battered
drenched
bereft
      broken
       beaten-
sigh
  turn
      back...
the cry...

why do i want something to say?
i have enough other thoughts
to fritter away.
does not this day deserve
the moment of peace 
i've caught?
somewhere beneath the breeze
it reserves my bloody end 
for me,
one hopeful hint
before the red tint 
is all i see....

Growing older, one observes
That energy starts waning.
Though it’s not what one deserves,
There’s no use in complaining.

Aging throws us learning curves
To deal with verve that’s draining.
When nothing’s left in the reserves,
It’s time for some refraining....

Life is but a dream, while rowing down the stream
 Better to flow along in life’s mystery, some call it destiny
 The present is a gift, if you catch my drift
 Watch your flanks, as life & death are your banks
 ‘Cause your reserves are vested in your life preserve’s...

Jewelry in the world
Is for beautiful and righteous
Men and women.

Crown reserves for royalty
For prince, princess, queen and king
And for beauty queen too.

Nature are for fauna and flora
That support human existential essence
For God's wonderful creations....

Airy cistern reserves now spent
Each billowing mast folds its tent
Helios hurls his flaming trident
Through singed porthole flittering glint
Fiery sparks stream through each stent
Refracted waves in mercurial columns bent
Misty water colors shroud each gilded vent
Burnt orange truffles, golden ridges resplendent...

An assault upon the ears
Guaranteed to fray the nerves
A testing of your patience
And resilience reserves

It drones around in circles
Flying mindlessly about
While conking into windows
But never bloody conking out

Finally it shuts up at night
You crawl to bed depleted
But the bugger wakes up instantly
And drones on undefeated...

God is almighty
He reserves all rights
He can do anything 
I have belief in Him

But, God has no right to forgive me!
if I steal, rob something from others,
if I embezzle something of others,
If I cheat others righteous mind,
if I rule others as tyrannical roars
on this earth, if nobody forgives me clear

The decisive die is cast
No rule is hard and fast
The Rubicon crossed and more
The Senate and other arms in tow

The Queen bee not to be rocked
Drones in hives,locked
The Emperor not at all shocked
As food reserves, de-stocked

The last Act and scene unfold
The conspirators, the Emperor scold
Daggers drawn; they await their fill 
He gasps "and you, Brutus?" as they seal the kill...

Gallant Scotland's Fame 

From Atlantic to North Sea
Ours is land again
With Europe’s largest oil reserves,
Our country again free. 

All for Scotland’s freedom stand
Marching in national kilts,
Bagpipers are playing new hymn –
Saluting the country’s rebirth. 

Caledonia – Scotland my country
With blue flag as skies above us,
White cross as innocence of Christ,
Independent, faithful and free....

By George P. Lumayag

A patriot digs and builds a castle underground like an ant. 
A patriot reserves much food underground like an ant. 
A patriot reads the minds of miners to protect the queen's castles.
A patriot poetically motivates the people to build a web of castles 
to protect themselves from the fires of the dragons. 
If the patriots do things right like ants, 
they will be safe in the future....

Pressing, pushing past the threshold
Beyond your once imagined line
Till you fear you'll fold
And that you'll fall behind
You have hidden reserves untold

Tests and trials you'll find
They will help us know
 Strength to break any bind
And our spirits will grow
Climbing high like the hind

So let the pressure flow
Knowing we'll stand just fine
His strength on us bestow
And trouble of any kind
Will never bring us low

because this may be
the last time
I sing this song
sincerely and reverently
into open air
in this place
that knows my stride
through braided seasons
seemingly without end

I sing
as the cardinal
opens the day
radiant in golden hue

I sing for you
as the song dances on air
in the intervals 
between sound and silence

I sing
because this time
shall be unlike any other
echoing in the place
memory reserves as its own...

Don't go away sad
What could I do in a moment?
For my reserves are low
And away from here tears will stream
I know it's not enough to put you on your feet
Beyond that it will be the death of me 
Wrapped in guilt
Have no means to be understood 
Don't fixate on me
You didn't earn my last ounce of strength
But I don't wish for you to know that
I don't wish for you to know
Tell me what I can do in this moment
For I can't do more...

Dear Mr. moon up the sky
How I wonder how you are
Around the stars you always smile
And gave hope to the night

How do you do Mr. moon
Can we be best of friends, me and you?
I am so eager someday to meet you
To have little stars of my own too

Before I go to bed Mr. moon
I have sent a post card of my wishes to you
A hug for my parents, friends at home and school
For all their dreams to come true
