Uncompromising Poems | Examples

Premium MemberThrough Life's Clenched Jaw

How many times have I been,
or perceived to have been,
the victim of cruelty or injustice,
which I tolerated,
as I felt it was necessary to survive
or, if not to survive,
to maintain a minimum standard of living -
as a child,
as a sick person,
as a subordinate in a corporation?

How did it make me feel?
Angry.
How did it work out when I expressed my anger?
Poorly.
Hence, much of my life was lived
through a clenched jaw.

Which doesn't seem pleasant.
Is there another way?
Philosophy?
Religion?
Forgiveness?
Acceptance?
Reassessing when I must compromise?
Learning a new way to communicate -
civil, yet uncompromising?
I wonder.

Rage Forged in Disrespect

There’s a rage that ignites when someone damages you
An uncompromising, bewildering storm within.
Your brain churns with thoughts of vengeance,
A thousandfold wrath ready to erupt.

But do you compromise your soul to feed the fire?
It’s all connected, yet so utterly disconnected.
They have no idea what they’ve unleashed
This inner demon clawing at the gates.

A thousand futures, a million seconds
Pain stretched in weeks, rage forged in years.
Why do they disrespect you to this breaking point?
You give your all, pushing daily to do what’s right.

Are their inadequacies a mirror they can’t face?
Does their lack of perspective cast you as the villain?
You tried to be the hero, the good guy,
To stand on the side of justice and light.

But the disrespect it grinds, it gnaws, it sends you spiraling
To a place where rage eclipses reason.
I want to shatter the star line,
Reach into the void, and grind gold for planet 9.
To fix this fractured atmosphere of fury,
Before I lose myself in the abyss of their disregard.

Their Last Moment Of Glory

This uncompromising Sunday
has agreed to let us enjoy
what is left of a boring day
as we ardently seek the brief presence
of a radiant sunset resembling red clay,
attesting the inevitable evidence.

The purple lilacs and pink tulips gently sway,
nobody listens to the crickets' soothing sounds;
early at sunrise they were inundated by big waves
and torrents of unmerciful rain pelting on the bay.

Every Bayberry and Crape Myrtle shrub has fragrant flowers,
they attract Sandpipers, Snowy Plovers and Monarch Butterflies;
they all feast on them, then they take off with incredible swiftness:
while the tranquil and brilliant sea resounds with various shrills.

I spot from far the noisy seagulls landing on the Church's steeple,
scattering the Gray Catbirds huddled on long cable wires that were
listening to the choir of faithful marching out with glowing smiles,
cherishing their last moment of glory under brilliant September's skies.

Premium MemberThe Legend of Love

The legend of love,
is written on the mystic pages of poets
in a script of colorful flowery blooms
   filled with a sensual serenity 
of uncompromising visions of peaceful purpose.
Where the bounty of stories
are filled with musical beauty and honey scents
   that drift through the heart
as soft breezes of expectations
carried aloft on the wings of yearning
born from the belly of a kiss.
Where the first taste of passion unites
and burns beyond the boundaries
of secret imaginations, painted on the heart
with glorious glowing glittering sparks
   rising from fiery flames
that reach the beckoning stars washed in moonglow
   leaving a lover's realm
of breathless interludes and sighs
written in poetic verse revealed on the naked heart.
To be read in majestic gardens
of roses and purple asters
   where time stands still,
as each word spoken is soft as whispers,
   on the sacred breath of love
before each breathless kiss
is written on the romantic page of the soul.

#4:  Time Always Minute

Time, inspired, now expired, on-site, sit tight.
all that stands subject to change constantly,
from one crossroads to milestone, overwrite,
the turning point, grains of sand, presently,
 exchanging circumstances pertinent,
time-space continuum, situations, 
time-slot columns, sectional, alignment,
segments prepare a course of durations,
stages invent themselves accordingly,
time and again they reinvent the wholes,
tis uncompromising strengths ... primary,
repeat performance, seconds intervals,
full showcase entertains a split instant,
shifting affects all their pulled souls; constant.

Let Heavenly Whirlwind Blow

In this season of chaos, let heavenly whirlwind blow,
In the eye of the storm, you will find peace, let it flow.
For within you resides the Wind, a heavenly decree,
Shine with brilliance, be what you were created to be.

In this season of storm, rise like a palace tower,
Stand tall, uncompromising, in this needy hour.
Be like a tree, that shelters and protects,
Safeguarding who seek shelter, their souls it connects.

From ashes, let your destiny bloom, with beauty untold,
For strength emerges, born from weakness so bold.
In this earthly journey, prepare for victories to come,
As destinies reveal extraordinary outcome.

Premium MemberThe Cross Will Shine For You

Sometimes failure in a career
Obstacle in a family
Uncompromising in a relationship
All will lead to a betrayal
Either you betray life or life betrays you
It needs great wisdom to manage life
To achieve life goal
Luck is not always on your side
If you have tried your best
Accept any failure and yourself too
Sometimes be lenient to yourself
As no one is perfect
But, even nothing is eternal
God is always by your side
If you fail to shine 
The cross will always shine for you

Mr Perfectionist

You are the uncompromising truth
You are the fearless lover of the Messenger of Allah
You are perfect, you are the pure believer
You are the sacrificed being to the honored Awliah
You are an indomitable soldier in the realm of true knowledge
You are the only preacher of all truth


But still, you fear those whom you accuse as liars
Yet you fear those whom you have judged to be hellish
Yet you fear those whom you despise as hypocritical wise, adulterous believers

What do you want Mr. Perfectionist of everything?

Confirmation biased or weakness of faith is your fear
It is your fear of ego that has raised you to only judge others
Your fear is what makes you quick to judge others

The true light of knowledge can allow everything equally
The true light of believers can allow everyone equally
As the touchstone method, the truth can change all
No fear, no judgment in the truth works as a troll

Problems

Something is a problem
if you need any solution
 earth is vast
and expanse
peace is a clue
and love is a state
power is her jewel
the world is far and free
no where is dull and dullard
no where is bad and flail
for truth is its constitution
beauty is known to
make up a part of
this universe
of course, nothing,  nothing, nothing
is naturally uncompromising.

Time

Things we just don't say
Because the words don't come easily
No matter how much time 
Feels like theivery 
Uncompromising, can't be bought
Blink and the moments gone.
