Surroundings Poems

In the forest I’ve found a spot,
every direction looks the same,
Nothing special about this place, 
doesn’t even acquire a name.

Somewhere you can be alive,
Not worry about a single thing, 
Just for a while it’s yours alone,
The silence of a day...Read More

Beneath the moon, I see more than your presence before me,
Mesmerized by a sparkle in those eyes causes my heart to ambush more than a couple of lost beats,
Self-inflicted pain I cause myself by looking up to catch my breath...Read More

When I was young, I wanted to roar like a lion, fly free like a bird
A longing for freedom and led by the need to speak
I suppose not much has changed, even with years of change in my surroundings
My soul...Read More

I stand alone and take in my surroundings..
The Earth is quiet.. the Earth is still.
Only I exist in this very moment..
In all my complexity and freewill.

This is my personal blueprint..
Uniquely created  like DNA.
It exquisitley defines my identity..
From my first...Read More

As a child, I learned that life is cruel
And justice is blind
My loving family filled with secrets and care
All I ever wanted 
A love to call my own
A place to be unafraid of my surroundings 
Why am I ever denied
Leaving...Read More

A country church nestled in a peaceful valley,
Against a glorious backdrop of tall mountains,
That were fashioned before Eden’s retched  malady,
That beset the human soul and rich surroundings.

Beautiful dog-wood trees with blossoms snowy white,
Bounded by rocks as old as the...Read More

Teach me
Yeah teach the love in peace,
the right path of the heart
where I learn the insight

Teach me-
I am not for myself,
Honey bees hoard honey
in the hive not for own,
Flowers beauty and fragrance
for beautifying and refreshing surroundings
not for own,
Shadow of the...Read More

Perspective

We scream up at the heavens, lecturing God on what is fair
When our lives took us one way, when we wanted to be there.
We often look to our surroundings, comparing what we have
When most of those just out of sight,...Read More

Buttercups, daffodils and bluebells mark my garden so sweetly
One row of flowers enhancing the surroundings rather neatly
Tomatoes, carrots, beans, peas and onions growing underground
By July I will have the most glorious garden of anyone around

Political Snakes
Written: by Miracle Man
2-6-2020

A snake never feels threatened,
because it has the innate ability to camouflage itself,
It blends in with it’s surroundings for self preservation.
But no matter how often it sheds its skin,
A snake remains a snake.

When they call the...Read More

Soul sirens sounding throughout my system 
My heart a vacant home without her friendship 
Blood beats upon the drums of my bones 
Seconds slip into sorrowful surroundings 
Brain boils its beautiful flower bouquet of thoughts
Answer the phone!
Answer the phone!
Keep the...Read More

Drug Addiction and suicide are no joke.
Some people find it entertaining when those individuals croak.
Recovering and living I've seen both sides
I just wish people could live their lives.

Whether it's a pill, powder, or a needle
This epidemic can be unspeakable.
Whether it's...Read More

Coffee wakes me up
to my surroundings,
wearing bunny slippers
to keep my feet warm as
caffeine provides a lifeline
to my senses internally,
notifying me to quit
yawning and be alert
to face the day with gusto.

Finding solace in a fairy tale 
Gretel wanted to go into the real world not to fail 
When her home life gets the axe 
She gets her brother Hansel and pack 
Out into the dark woods they venture 
Looking for...Read More

I felt something and then I saw
my cat sprawling  out 
touching me with her paw.

my surroundings became numb
she tried to gain my sight
but I just played dumb.

 Nudging my arm in spite
her whiskers  spreading about
it was tranquil but...Read More

Be careful where you go
Be careful what you do
This world can be a deadly place
But full of beauty to

Life can be a real rush
For most it becomes a craze
Live it to the fullest
And you too will be amazed

Always watch your...Read More

A poem hides in our mind 
Of us who think and dream, 
Appears to soothe or uplift 
In words sweet and gay. 

Unaffected by their surroundings 
No one tends to ponder or express, 
Not even those who know well 
The...Read More

The Wolf

Much maligned animal of lore
With gnarled snarl frothing saliva,
And fangs that rip and claws that gore
And eyes that penetrate to choke the craw.

Ears that hear the slightest stirring
And nose to detect the faintest scent,
In camo coat to blend with...Read More

POEM " ARTIFICIAL HEART " by martin gedge

I'm in love with your artificial heart
a breakdown of emotions that never seems to start

when everything is nothing that you think

My dear boy, never waste food
said the Dad; no way it's good;
Do you know there are thousands
of people in surroundings
who can't afford to have lunch
or some crispy food to munch.
Take only that much in plate
that you can eat; why to...Read More

The fear to distant yourself from what got you under heavy pressure, holding you down from being better, ripping you into pieces like paper in a treader, "fear to distant", the love for your position, the fear of making a...Read More

The beauty of your
heart is pure.
A soul so loving

so full of grace.
A mission of peace
and everlasting love.
Always bringing a message
of positivity and life in your
surroundings.
Bringing encouraging...Read More

~
The stones were many, 
though still he climbed, 
dismantling the mortar crusted wall,
leaving rubble in his wake
as he made his way to the top
Breathless, this world beyond 
the border clung to its silence, 
imprisoned by apprehension tightly 
binding a heart...Read More

Happy New Year, it’s time to fly,
Get together with others, chime,
Collect yourself and inwards cry,
Scream n’ shout at New Year’s time,

Pull down the old if need be,
Flare and dance, temper the won;
Mime, hold to ransom gaunt and Lei,
Astound the self,...Read More
