Short Valour Poems

If I was to go, 
With dignity, I hope so, 
But what would I know? 
About honour and valour, 
Qualities of a hero!

With
Lovable piques .

An Act Of Valour
Not Much Of Favour 
Only Those That Endeavour

An Act Not For Many
Barely See Any

To Take Them In
Treat The Just
Not Mean
Neither With Disgust

Just Like Them
Not Much Difference 
Only, Society Is Lame

Disgrace Them Not...

The windows of the mind,
In the eyes I find,
Written in them,
Is a poem,
Of sanity or insanity,
Of turbulence or tranquility,
Of uncanny mind;
Of patriotic pride,
Of gallant valour,
Of bashful amour,
Of beauty of the Youth,
Of   resplendent Truth....

I can hunt night and day
the most powerful owl
little animals are my prey
even smaller owl
You can see my tracks in snow, but you can not catch me
These tallons of mine are sharper than daggers
I protect my infants with valour
I am the emporia owl 
I am KING...

In velvet vale of verses

Valentine day, a valour vibration 
Violating voluminous vanity
In velvey vale of verses

Serene sentiment soars
Softly in solitary sky
In velvety vale of verses

Rose and rosette rumble
Rousing romantic rush 
In velvety vale of verses....

A symbol of vastness
A symbol of hope
In a bouquet of colours
“Blue” stands out in valour

In silence and calm
It soothes the mind 
Delight for eyes
The colour of the sky.

Like deep in ocean
Like poetry in motion
Among galaxy of colour
It’s the Blue that matter....

He took apart
his soldier of tin
to see for himself
what lay within
expecting honour, strength
valour and pride
he eagerly toiled
to get inside
with soldier now 
cleaved in two
he saw what he thought 
could not be true
half of his warrior 
now cupped in each hand
he gazed at an emptiness 
he could not understand....

A man is his wife
He that finds a wife thus a Man
Doth that finds a girl, a boy 
As the sea linked to an ocean,
Let the king mustly to a queen


For if i have seen not deep waters,
May these upward be
Let him that needs rest, sober to a woman
As joy i need i meet a Man
Give me rest man of valour,
That i may in rest be...

Extracted from its rusty sheath
The memories of past battles etched in a copper tint
Glorious victories and murderous traitors
The valour of kings and the grace of princes
Passed down through the generations
The honour of winning and of life
Anointing others with power galore
The promise of death; the sanctity of life
Now thrown into disarray by a wandering metal rod...

The War Horse what an amazing
 animal, true beauty and bravery
 intertwined.

 It's not his fight yet
 he does not take flight.

 On the battle field his true
 colours are revealed, this 
 magnificent beast is not about
 to yield.

 Loyal and fearless, full gallop
 towards the front line he strides.
 The enemy not knowing what to 
 make of this valour and might....

Love does not hope for it is full of certainty
Love does not want for joy for it is full of exultancy
Love changes not for it is content in its caress
Love is not lost for it has found eternal success
Love shows no courage for it has unlimited prowess
Love has no conditions for it is unreserved bliss
Love begets love for it is saturated ardour
Love braves the globe for it is sated valour...

Blazing dusk witnessed 
a stir in the fire, 
rising stars watched them 
stretch their tiny wings 
on voyage afar 

to the land of 
honour and truth; 
born of ashes, 
undead in flames, 

built from fire 
of spirit 
and valour; 

burnt cage 
rebirths 

tales.

You are my souvenir
Keeping you ever for every my liquid charm
My tantalizing champagne pop the cork
Celebrate deepest devotion
Fiercely stricken heart of

A tender lover
Type of mine
Who chooses to reside beside 
Me  holding my hand 'til the
Dance  and we  are one, 

And we have won
Truly a  magnetic, an allure
This affair  the  valour of
Desperate souls, a love
Potion  liquid charm...

you invited to the party
telling me to sweetly sing
you offered nonchalance
offering snide remarks
valour was not your end game
You rode on your proverbial chariot
telling me of your mental prowess

Drinking your iron lead,
in the dark
you shared your primordial ghosts
your lips didn't speak the truth
and you said let it be done
blowing out all the candles
to enliven the gloom
of your own making...

When I hold your hand,
With my tiny supple hand,
Gives me valour;
A support I feel,
As pillar holds,
From falling apart;
When am tired,
For comfort and warmth,
Take me in your lap,
Hold me tight;
The instinct you hold,
In your heart;
Your caress raises hope,
Saves me,
From pain and sad;
Am of your seed,
Always watch me grow;
You are friend, father, love,
And living God of mine;

Decisions, decisions
So much to assess, 
So many pitfalls, fear is ubiquitous

What if you open the wrong door?
What if you don’t like what you discover?
Then you just deal with the consequences, 
if you leave it close, you will always wonder…

So be bold and open that door
it may augment you and build your character
either way, you’re the winner

because you had the valor
to face the unknown
and the backbone, to face your demons…...

The clouds wear a grey look, birds take a flight home,
The day slowly wears a different colour,
The sculptor sits allowing the mind to roam,
Despite life's tempest, they prop hope with valour,
Nature protects from fatality syndrome,
Its beauty is seen in its multicolour, 
The sun takes a bow, drawn into its closet,
The moon glides to take its place as it’s preset.

At 60 you hope for another school reunion
of your compatriots'
After all this was your first corporate flagship
(Blazers and satchels) 
Grandparents now, some retired
What is more reticent
is some of our teachers have died
but their legend lives on
such full characters
magnificent in their valour
deserving respect
Yet Facebook the great replacer
of friends reunited
cannot illicit enough responses
for a reunion or reaching out for figurines...

All the fallen, 
All the slain, 
All taken by the night, 
All gone from the light. 

All the fallen, 
Men of valour, 
Men of honour, 
Men of true colour. 

All the fallen, 
Warriors in the deep, 
Ships lost in the sea,
Sailing in our sleep. 

All the fallen, 
Shrivelled meadows, 
Hanging shadows, 
Strangers in the underworld. 

All the fallen, 
All the lost stars, 
All the closed blinds, 
Timeless in our minds.

Flag of Safi

            without a blemish
        horizontal stripe in blue
         spread on virgin white

            steeped in history
George Cross displayed for valour
       proud red and white flag

Keep hope close 
(This iris reminds me)
By Michelle Morris
20/01/2024

This iris reminds me
To keep hope close to my heart
Let it bloom and spread the Light
Inspire my healing and my wholeness 

The symbolism is historic
Nobility, trust and valour
Hope and wisdom for us all
As flowers hold eternal power

This iris is so magical
As Nature's blessings are wont to be
I thank God for His miracles
Grace and beauty for you and me

Perpetual beauty as such leaves me flawed,
It holds me in its rhythm, entranced,
My reason for, my ardour,
My pride deepens, my valour romanced.

Frozen in time, fatherhood sublime,
You hold my heart and capture my being,
You are the meaning, the reason I survive,
I will always be there for my girls, empyrean. 

As the sand falls, I’ll be my all,
Until I’m gone an am nothing but dust,
I will cherish you all until I am called,
My love for you, as always robust....

Twas wooden, and my Ivy stick
Did claggy with a cobbled tone.
The moon, in shade rode whimsy high
And whiffled with a moan.

By hairy dog and camel toe
I trundled on and farted,
By gum and skinny teeth I went
Unshaven and wholehearted.

Hag I not seen but in a girth
A womb of some renown-
A creature from some other Earth
Not cream, yet still not brown.

I wooden, with my Ivy stick
And waving with a fist
Fought on with friendly foe in tow
For valour, kin and Kist....
