Upwards Poems


Premium MemberUpwards Towards Jerusalem

 Through the stillness, I find my way home
 where the Sacred resides and the Still Waters Flow,
 and the Great Ohm Resonates in the Higher Plane
 and the Great Mystery is Unveiled, ZIN URU, The Great Breaker Of Chains
 only from within can peace be found
 within the Inner Seas an Emerald Crown
 But, one must Fear Not for Truth Runs Deep
 through the Oceans of the Heart, One must Sail indeed
 through the Chaos of the World, Set Apart
 For, True Jerusalem is never too far

Failing Upwards

Back in the day
he used to do any job for good pay.
That was before the abortion clinic.
Then he knew
there was some s..t he would not do.
He got picky,
though getting himself fired was his 
most masterly skill.
Occasionally 
he would make a little shady money,
however any work was cleaner
then bundling up dead baby parts.

Look Upwards

Look upwards
Continue to head towards the light 
You have the drive within you 
Make your world bright 
The mind is an essential tool
Strike with a tender force 
Be eager to learn something new 
Build your own power source

I Ran Upwards

I ran upwards though my soul was chasing itself
downhill, 
a body deprived of hopes,
a boulder against the wind.
Horizon lines 
of worlds apart
embraced each other,
behind the top.

Trees failed to stop my soul,
happiness failed to stop my body.
I flew and I rolled, 
torn in two essential dilemmas...

To fail or to succeed?
To live or to fall prey...
to myself... to the world...
to my unspoken horrors.
To die or to fall prisoner
to reality? To deceit?
To myself...

I ran upwards, among figures of people,
and angels, 
and trees, 
and past God.
And when my soul hit the bottom, 
my body found pieces
of the Zenith, the bridge, the alley to conquer, 
beyond time and meaning, 
for my soul was a conqueror, 
and my body 
fell dead.

Premium MemberReaching Upwards

It takes just one step at a time
moving forward and upward
but not stopping for a laze
making sure you hear every wise word

Wisdom is the true source of knowledge
without it you lag way behind
your brain cells will get weak
if not fed they'll go blind

Feed the mind with good books
let the intellect soak it in
it'll instil strength to the brain
together they'll make you win

The body also needs strengthened
for the rocky road ahead
to make sure you reach the target
sustaining yourself with strong bread

So keep looking upwards
never lose sight of the goal
keep these feet moving
till you hit the winning pole

Upwards

I grasp for meaning and the search for my soul
And through treacherous canyons do elegantly sail
High into infinity, high like an Eagle flying by
Reaching Pinnacles of understanding and depth
Soaring ever upward reaching out to foe or friend
Touching the stars, feeling passion deeply within 
Free to explore to marvel and to grasp of life
Upwards, upwards reaching passed the abyss
Soaring on a carpet of blue emerald sea
Knowing there is you in everything I see.

Upwards For the Worlds Tourism

Even in an heavy destruction of air
capitalism shout with joy
but not the climate
when everything goes wrong
you should take a fling at the barn
look up into the sky with a smile
take a sandwich or three
while the environment goes to hell
