Tractive Poems | Examples


Under Your Spell

Fair are my dream souvenirs of flowery fields.
Fairer still are my thoughts of you when I awake.
The magic of your memory over me wields
A secret sorcery that only you can make.
I am completely yours, my heart is held captive.
I have no will of my own and am wholly yours.
Somehow, you are a mighty force that is tractive
And my happy heart under your fair pull endures.
I do not want to be free from your enchantment.
In your soft arms I find my greatest contentment.
Give me all of your love and your sweet kisses, too.
And like the flowers in beauty live, just we two.

Premium MemberWhat Makes Us Human

They say: we are all aboard one boat do you agree?
There are many sailboats in the choppy sea.
Some ocean liners provide comfort and luxury.
Others dispense leisure and a drink on the balcony.

The star's radiance is not a concern. 
I realize we do not view them. Wilt yearns. 
Our murky self-portrait is enigmatic. 
It is the paradigm stalker and emphatic.

We sat down after sliding into the ground.
We also have a similar identity around.
We have self-assurance and are proactive.
Akin a careful skydiver, we remain tractive

Our territory is growing with the breeze.
With our feet dangling outside appease
We are appreciative of the world broadly. 
As I saw it rise, the dome seemed ungodly.

Man's eyesight is cloaked in darkness.
We face the side of the world in blackness.
When we assess a man, we do view gloom.
We all had to flee while jostling and doom.

The Equanimity of Never, Always, and Sometimes

N otice me when I am in a mood to
   E valuate my every move!
V oice your opinion to
   E scape the wrongdoing.
R eality is never given to you.
  
A nswers are forthcoming when you are proactive.
   L itmus the acidity of recourse and the
W iser you will become.
   A bsolute your environment to factive and 
Y our essence is known.
   S earch always the tractive shown.
  
S ort a basis of emotions to the depth of despair.
   O rder everyone to treat each other fairly.
M ix up is disallowed.
   E ffort illuminates good-well profound.
I ntense are your sentiments to unity
   M agnified by your desire to be free and not just
E nthusiasms seen.
   S ometimes are not a part of equanimity.
