Unwavering Poems

Unwavering Before Eternity

Death's Shadow creeps across the wall 
Where memories of triumph Stand tall 
Each scar tells stories of battles won 
Each breath echoes choice made, undone.

The ledger of our days is closed 
Accounted for in every pose 
No whispered no apologies sought 
No trembling knees, no faltering thought. 

Before the throne of judgment high 
We stand as mountains touch the sky  
Our hearts ablaze with righteous pride 
Our soul unbroken, side by side.

The divine inquirer raises sight 
Upon our shoulders, straight and bright 
No shame deliberate, no guilt resides 
Only the peace that honor provides. 

Through trials fierce and tests of fire 
We walked the path our conscience dire 
Each step deliberate, each choice clear 
Our character forged, year by year.

Premium MemberUnwavering faith

Seeking but renewal continual,
yet knowing what comes and goes will not last,
soul’s flame burns on, with love as the fuel,
having faith in God, so raising the mast
and in this way destiny’s die is cast.
Even in the most sunken vibration,
consciousness feels one with God’s creation.

Premium MemberLike a lighthouse defying the darkness with an unwavering light

Like a lighthouse defying the darkness with an unwavering light,
I've grown accustomed to sleeping with my eyes open, watching the edge of dreams,
afraid of being surprised by the veil of silence that falls unexpectedly,
seeking to hold the reins of this ephemeral world between my fingers,
until the final blink whispers a call toward unknown realms.
Like a lighthouse that refuses to fade at the break of day,
I keep the horizon of the sea captured in the enchantment of a desperate gaze,
I ask you to gently close my eyelids with the softness of a calm sunset,
for what was to be seen is already written on the canvas of time,
carefully draw these fine shutters over my eyes weary from watchfulness.
I hope the end comes late, in a night with a sky full of stars,
when the acacias shake their blossoms in a dance of scent and memories,
and silence settles gently, like a wave kissing the shore,
wrapping the story of life in a dream that will never be lost,
a dream in which the lighthouse's light will guide the soul toward eternity.

A Mother's Unwavering Love

A mother's love is like no other,
Unconditional and true,
She is there for you through good and bad,
And always has a kind and gentle view.

She will listen to your worries,
And try to make them right,
She will offer you a shoulder to cry on,
And hold you tight.

She will support and encourage,
Your dreams and goals in life,
She will push you to be the best that you can be,
No matter how much you strife.

Premium MemberThe Great Man is like an ice mountain, cold and unwavering, fearless of opinion

The Great Man is like an ice mountain, cold and unwavering, fearless of opinion,
Devoid of virtues that accompany the respect and respectability of the herd,
If he cannot lead, he walks alone on the rough paths of his destiny,
Knowing he is ineffable, he tastes the bitterness of unshared intimacy.
When not speaking to himself, he wears an impenetrable and mysterious mask,
Within him exists an inaccessible solitude, untouched by praise or criticism,
In this silence, he finds the strength to never hesitate,
And in this isolation, he discovers his pure and unaltered essence.
Like a solitary stag in the forest of thoughts, he follows his path,
Without seeking familiarity, he finds the bitter taste of truth,
He is a soul dancing on the edge of a misunderstood world,
Where the echoes of the herd cannot penetrate his depths.
The Great Man is like a star in the infinite night, shining far away,
Misunderstood by the crowd, but blinding in his own unique light,
In this distance, he discovers the freedom to truly be himself,
And in this vast and silent space, he finds his eternity.

Premium MemberUnwavering Passion

Mysteries of bliss,
Why does joy's cool shiver heal?
Whitney's breathless song
Whispers down my back,
Zipping along my spine's track
Mysteries of Bliss.
Emotions ablaze,
Clutching my chest, my heart blaze
rapture burning flame.
In your screams, I heard,
Torn scars etched upon your soul~
My heart bled for you.
Thirst quenched, love blossoms,
Screams silenced, scars find solace,
Unbreakable bond.
Thirst plagued my spirit,
I delved deep, wellsprings of care,
Bloomed, together whole.
Aching feet find rest,
My hands caress away stress~
Love heals, makes us blessed
Glimmers of insight,
Mirror unveils hidden truths~
Sadness, now set free.
Serenade at dawn
Now just faint whispers at night
Loneliness takes hold
Lost in whispered breeze,
Songbird's perch, weeping willows
Silent garden mourns.
In strokes of anguish,
A soul finds solace, unbound,
Blotched palette, reborn.
Flowing such a gentle brook.

Premium MemberUnwavering Spirit

The route winds and twists literally forever.
by way of the sea, the farmland, and the sky.
Yet, we triumph simply because we are clever,
If you ask why on a dune I saw you stroll by.

By way of the sea, the landscape, and the sky.
Whether it's a gorgeous day or a rocky path,
If you ask why on a dune I saw you stroll by.
We start our journey on the hand of wrath.

Whether it's a gorgeous day or a rocky path,
As we feel we're pulling toward the cease line.
We start our journey on the hand of wrath.
We're just starting; everything will be fine.

As we feel we're pulling toward the cease line,
Rejoice in the halcyon times that were shared,
We're just starting; everything will be fine,
You earn skills and expertise as you cared.

Rejoice in the halcyon times that were shared,
These are the things that will retain you warm,
You earn skills and expertise as you cared,
During cold, drizzly days or tropical storms.

These are the things that will retain you warm,
Yet, we triumph simply because we are clever,
During cold, drizzly days or tropical storms.
The route winds and twists literally forever.

Unwavering Nature

Though dancing daily
unswerving type the sea is
treats rich and poor same

Though scudding across
the sky, clouds are in no rush
to pour rain fairly

Moon waxes and wanes
every month but never fails
to entertain us

Premium MemberUnwavering Devotion

Silence and solitude
In turbidity & multitude
Unfettered emptiness 
Vibrant with blissfulness 
Images unfold 
As foretold
As a bliss mist
We do not resist
Rather spread fragrance 
Of love in innocence 

The fact that we are here
Savouring the bliss flavour
Signals ego residue within
Requiring us to re-begin
Meditation in a continuum 
To slow the pendulum 
Of fickle attention
Yet mired in stagnation
So we sit quietly
Blossoming magically

In stillness

Unwavering Hope

I pray I have bravery
I pray I have positivity
I need an optimistic state of mind
I want to be His kind and be kind
Have zealous, marvelous anticipation 

I want us both to have unwavering hope

Let’s be prepared for the worst 
Be prepared to come to Him first
Don’t be weary please
Lord, set us free at ease
Have joyous sensation, not false expectation

I want us both to have unwavering hope

Grow dependent on God's way of life
The worldly standards cut like a knife
Our emotions can really betray us sometimes
Our feelings lose focus on what’s real at times
Have faith in lament-like tribulation

I want us both to have unwavering hope

It is clearly out of our control that we lose control
Frustration is in our discouraged soul as a whole
Hopelessness will try to take our positivity away
Hopefulness will prevail and lead us not astray
Have eternal love, mercy and determination

He wants us both to have unwavering hope

The Greatest Unwavering Love

I carry notions that there could be greater
things carrying more importance than me. 
An outpour of faith I crave when healing
calls my name when disarray laughs at me. 
I could say that the Creator is larger than
my life- 
           I would be telling not the truth, but bestowing
           falsehood. 

For my sweetheart’s love runs deeper than
oceans that fear no gust nor wave.
Its trust fears not the kismet of our affection, 
but that one day, death shall prevail without
warning. 

And so, this fairy tale shall be told in 
unwavering truth.
Unveiling my soul his love does do when
we are near each other with ease in darkness. 
Encompassing my heart in loyalty his devotion
always undertakes.
I shall never take for granted his sincere
regard for romance,
yet make more room for its perpetual warmth.

For my life is but a diminutive existence 
compared to his undying love for me-
          and I shall always be ceaselessly indebted.

The Unwavering Sentinel

The beam amidst the raging storm
Like a glum buffalo of fierceness
The seemingly engulfing clouds
The furious and pounding waves

As if a treacherous leviathan
Ever menacing yet perilous
Lo and behold, the sentinel
Stand still amidst the dicey phase

The beam remained unwavering
Static and prompt to repress
Non-submissive yet resistance
Such is a sentinel of vastness
