Virtuously Poems

Paragon of Virtue

Respected but more feared
As a man of tempered steel
An expert at ensuring he got
The best of any signed  deal.
He got a Degree in Pomposity
From the university of life
Followed by a Masters in
The Obvious and The Trite.
Doctorate soon followed
In Self Righteous Thought,
Waxes forth on Social Media
Where he daily holds court,
Pouring vitriol and scorn
To those who don’t know
Life’s a veritable paradise under
Our beneficent Status Quo.
A paragon of virtue, this
Self proclaimed made man
Telling the world if he can do it
Then surely anybody can.
International businessman
With his modern sweat shop
Using Zero Hour Contracts to
To keep his workers on the hop
He attends religious observance 
Al least once every single week 
Where he virtuously professes
To be humble, mild and meek.
He’ll probably live for ever
Which really isn’t so very odd:
No Heaven could be big enough
To hold both him and his God.

Iron Man

Which American does not know great Tony Stark?
An industrialist tycoon like strapping shark;
Born with silver spoon in his mouth; noble bequest!
Lived luxurious life one considered blessed...!

Afghan enters his life; like virus in robot; 
Terrorists kidnap him; force him to weapon-plot;
He builds his sly armor; makes his vanish easy;
Plays ploys; Shifts into iron man; tough, yet, frenzy...!

Cocktails and women beauties; Romantic, yet firm;
Juvenile play-boy; yet, strict to mercantile term; 
Not lonely though alone; full of fun and frolic;
Midst accomplishment of tasks, he has his rollick...!

Pushed to misuse his invention of iron-man,
Virtuously he dismantles his harm-filled plan;
Splaying bundle of freedom virtues and vices, 
Tony Stark is an epitome of guises...!

Miracle Man
6/2/2022

Occasionally I find, my word birth cycle broken,
and missing in action, are those words unspoken. 

They’ve remained as thoughts inside my head,
and I’ve realized that some were best left unsaid.

Words come from thoughts held virtuously pure,.
but some, at birth, are seemingly premature.

Words reserved to linger in silence, and waste,
are far more inferior than those voiced in haste.

Inner Pains

I have no torment, no pain-difficulty
I am not the seller of sorrowful key
Stellar of the far friends I am
New sky in my entrepreneur jam

Being human I can feel meticulously
the pains of dying fishes in my hands without water,
the pains of dying slaughtered chicken, ducks, birds before eyes ground,
the pains of butchered quadruped domestic animals,
the pains of green child grasses under my cruel trampling,
the pains of polluting winds, waters, devastating trees,
Being omnivorous all-mighty human since birth I have nothing to do for these pains

Being human I can feel also
the pain of my beloved at night without me,
the pains of my parents who are depended on my incomes,
the pains of my gods who created me to spend life virtuously but I deny and become ungrateful,
the pains of my accompany with whom I betrayed for the sake of earthly greed,
the pains of dying peoples of COVID-19 or from starvation
Colorful pains of the world when I leave alone
And enter into my sovereign clone

Being human I can feel all inner pains-difficulties
But I have nothing to do cause peace in own tease

Imprisoned

IMPRISONED 
Radhika Sanoj
The cloudy apprehensions snarl at us,
The prisoners of a diseased planet..
We are no different nation..
We are alike 
White, black, brown..,
All terribly and virtuously alike.
We together creep in fetters,
Leaving Springs behind..

Once we read , "can spring be far....."
Now winter's teeths whiten 
Our fragile bones..
Oh my dear, kiss me with a life,
Miracle of a prayer 
Driven towards me from heaven...
We all will be released soon, 
I hope....

Exemplifying True Love

Exemplifying love of truest sense
Unblemished, immaculately perfect
Virtuously great with divine license
God through His care reigns in every aspect.

Genuine love, offered by Christ*, the best source
Grants pardon and peace … provisions so great
Along compassion's grace He does enforce
With righteousness prevailing in bliss’ trait.

Blest am I to experience Saviour’s love
Despite flaws, ensuing from sin nature
His eternal gift from heaven above
Transforms heart for kindness-sharing venture. 

Vanquishing selfishness’ enslaving might
I’m propped to optimize true love’s delight.

*Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Harmonic Values

Values and disvalues
absorbed through communication
of felt relationship, 
absence of connection,
hopeless excommunication.

The Left bereft
Brain justified,
ratioed,
commodified,
diversified,
tooled,
weaponed for rational utilitarian consistency,
reified verbal logic
of neurological systemic Spirits,
feeling co-related events,
critical memories
epic predator/prey histories

Recalling ecologies of sensory attachment/detachment,
felt experience networks of virtual spiraling health values,
virtuously co-arising sensed re-experience ecosystems,

And viciously degenerating
unraveling disvalue cycles,
pre- and post-cycles,
recycles

Feeding healthy value feelings,
unhealthy disvalue memories
back
and back
and back to when Space first felt Earth's shift
balancing bilaterally twinned TimeFlow
for virtuous universal win/win communication

Ego in Here listening kindly
within EarthTribe's perpetually felt spirals
of revolving Now light,
Then dark...

Mind of Christ

Let me have your mind, my Saviour
…obedient, submissive to the Father God’s will
Transform me, please, to manifest divine behavior
…as I follow You to Calvary’s sacrifice hill. 

Let me have your mind, my Christ*
…humble, holy, heavenly high
Give me such, I beg, virtuously-priced
…as I cling to You, constantly drawing nigh.

Let me have your mind, my Guide
…wise, prudent; charity-driven
Instill in me Your virtues evil can’t hide
…as I love and live for You, faith-driven.

*Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.

Viva La Viva

V vaunts verbiage vociferously.
Visage viewed very vacuous                            			
Vacillates varyingly,
Venting valentine versus violence

Vast, versatile, variant,
Vehement vituperations volunteered: 
Voices voice virtuously
Voices voice vulgarly

V very veracious,
Versal vortices visualized,
Versal volages visualized,
V’s  valedictory.

Voices Softly Whispered

Snowflakes blanketed the world in winter white

Tenderly, they touched my impeded ears

Unlocked were the passageways to discern voices

Virtuously,  they repeated in soft whispers,

"Wisdom is to be absorbed like flakes of snow on skin."

A Virtuous Woman

She’s seen it all, and regrettably did even more
Only a naive man would expect
a woman of her age to still be virgin pure.
She’s learned her lessons along the way;
though she still can’t turn back time,
her present choices are better today.

A virtuous woman forged from the fire
of past heartaches which left her aflame,
now, she speaks her mind with the authority
of someone who has walked through the pain
of mankind's narrow judgments
mankind's make believe.
Swallowed it whole, wore it on her sleeve,
walked out the back door
where her true companion offered reprieve.
So many years she's been celibate
Tell me her sins or drop the stone,
God does not leave her lonely
still she longs to be loved by a man
but she doubts 
she doubts.

Strangely, the longing
strengthens her more virtuously ...
her fragile soul becoming spiritually whole
So she desires
and she doubts
those things she
may never know.

Never, Always, Sometimes

"Never, Always, Sometimes"

Never will I ever bring you pain
Even if you won't promise the same
Virtuously, your Love reigns
Eric's heart without any shame
Reviving Love just to keep me sane

Always my heart will rest in your hands
Love has been provided for this man
Warm memories outnumber a beach's grains of sand
All because it is in His Plan
Your Beauty is perfect so please understand
Sensual nights will be our routine's brand

Sometimes I wonder how such a Blessing has been bestowed upon me
Observing your actions makes this feel like destiny
Maybe I am just that lucky, you make my Soul feel free
Every morning I arise, in unison is where our lips be
Tales of such Love have caused so many to see
In due time, we must all pay the fee
Making Life worth Living for True Love will never flee
Equal trust is firmly established, the most important key
Saving this man from myself, and for that, I thank thee

Agua Marina

A shade of purity,
but with a hint of notoriety.
Deceptive but innocently,
Aquamarine, like you, I live up to be.

Peace you may bear,
but chaos I can bare.
Clear blue eyes,
virtuously hiding lies.

Free Verse the Process

Seriously… 
Frequently verse free of rhyme and meter
Articulates mental images upon a page.
A poetic expression from the heart
Unified by tangential emotions,
Thoughts openly, freely uttered…
A progression of complexities
The essence of a poet’s soul opened.
His fundamental nature shared, fully.
Presented for perception.
Unified, cohesively fused.
Offered from one mind to another.
Virtuously given without expectations.
Beautiful boundless poetry, besieging.
Free from the confinements of rules.
The soul, alive; multifaceted and elegant
Tacitly living; shared openly.
Enthusiastically scrolled upon the page.
Silently.
