Beautiful women – a poet’s song … :)

Hmmm . . . such an impossible topic – to write about women! Yet I set out to write one day . . . all the women I’ve shared this one with have liked it – which in itself is a miracle JJ

 

Beautiful women – a poet’s song.

A beautiful thought so crosses my mind,
To touch her true beauty one really must find,
That well of love, that core of desire,
That’s nothing to do with need or fire,
That readily doth more beauty so sire,
That’s really the essence of what doth inspire . .
Such beauty doth not the world go blind,
As passion engages of a different kind . . .

Passion that’s not just some girl met a boy,
And really not lust but a constant joy,
And love that’s not just some lips and hair,
Nor’s there a reason for such love to declare,
Except that suddenly those eyes show care,
And whene’er one smiles her thoughts do share . .
Yes passion doth flow but not like a Roy,
As the chemistry of souls forms a wholesome alloy!

Oh that doesn’t mean that there aint a spark,
But to light a warm fire not just free a lark,
And then the most beautiful words do flow,
The sweetest of looks loving eyes bestow,
That secret light with the loveliest glow,
Suddenly does a fragrant wind so blow . .
Now speaks a soul and so a soul doth hark,
Hands entwine to guide as doth a new love embark!

Such beauty, such love is so truly so Eve,
Adam had a clue afore the apple did deceive,
For a woman is born with many a cause,
Evolution and birth, not just improving flaws,
Growth that’s intrinsic, not just a run and pause,
Her heart only, a full picture so draws!
So applause is good but its better if you believe,
For she’s not a string but a tapestry He’d weave!

So, each one is beautiful, every love is true,
If you can follow the sketch that I drew,
And touch the spirit that lives in her heart,
And realize that her beauty is an evolving art,
And if ever should trouble base urgency’s dart,
Dissolve it with care and a new path will start . .
Such is a woman and whene’er love so grew,
So formed a true bond shining in the milieu!

A beautiful thought so crosses my mind,
Have I just begun or some eternal truth divined . . .

Poetry poems :)

A few poems about poetry and my poems . . . . interesting J

 

A poet and his passion

 

A poet feels happy when he is ready to print,

Golden coins in verse now ready to mint.

 

Poetry he’s written especially from his heart,

Poetry that has flowed more from love than from art,

Poetry full of joys and sorrows and delight,

Poetry that he is written lying awake through the night,

Poetry of passion though with some skills and some style,

Poetry you cannot ignore, you’ll either cry or you’ll smile.

 

His verses will point you to that eternal memory’s lane,

For one day he shall die, only his poetry will remain!

………………….

 

 

An honest poet …

 

Am I at times turning into a professional poet,

Who writes from his mind and not heart’s sweat,

Well I guess I’d do well just never to forget,

That I shall always live in creativity’s debt!

 

A true poet writes from the depth of his soul,

Immortalizing pain and passion is his only goal,

And while expectations and occasions do take their toll,

He writes not for accolade nor opinion poll!

 

But the truth in my heart is sometimes clouded by need,

I omit my greedy heartless emotions to weed,

So while I honor my true passionate warriors creed,

Of serving false ego, even I must so guilty plead!

 

Moments such as these do help me to ponder,

That must I so from the path of truth wander,

Must I thus my gifted creative talent squander,

How will I ever face the original creator yonder?

 

Truthful heart and passionate soul will put me on a rack,

Whenever for too long I stray off honesty’s track,

For blessed truth somehow has a winning knack,

So cheer ‘cos passion’s child shall always be back!

……………….

 

 

A Poet’s truth …

The day I was born God gave me a heart,
That He taught to so love that was full of such art,

And He balanced this with a mind overflowing with fire,

Seemingly violent and ever surrounded with ire …

Thus my loving heart’s surrounded by angry thorns

Like each petal of a rose a core of love so adorns,

So those who can negotiate and my soft center reach,

So discover a sage so ready to love and to teach!

And one day my Lord taught me sweet verses to write,

For the world and myself and full of such delight,

For I write with my heart and all my love so outpours,

For my inner soul so free then confidently soars …

My verses and my love then can any thorn so mitigate,

My words whether wise or not so defeat adverse fate,

So my words form today both a weapon and a shield,

And inspiration that’s many a broken heart’s so healed!

And then suddenly one day this gift just went away,

As words no longer flowed and rhymes refused to play,

Consternation all around as all made questioning eyes,

The thorns around my heart now I just couldn’t disguise …

And then it hit me this moment of truth so very pure,

My verses I’d used my true nature and self to obscure,

Oh yes now I knew who loved and who just wanted love,

Who could take just me without layering care like a glove!

But I’m aghast that through my verses I’d played such a game,

Scared of rejection I had added insecurity to my name,

For those who really love me will always do so complete,

Not just my verses but even my love and angry heat!

And as I knew suddenly returned my pent up words,

And again I was writing for my lovers and the herds,

So again I may extinguish many a tear with my smile,

Even as I distinguish my substance from merely style!

But look this is common our logic’s often thus flawed,

We don’t deserve to write just so the world may applaud,

We shouldn’t use our words to gain currency and class,

Thank God I seized and didn’t let this realization pass!

So today I stand naked with my love, thorns and verse,

Choose what you want return a blessing or even a curse,

For now I write only to honor His gift with my prayer,

And if it yet helps the world I’m here my love to so share!
………..

 

True power . . . !

 

True Power!

 

There’s a small little secret I nurture in my heart,

That helps me rise even though I’m not smart,

That helps me grow beyond e’en impossible heights,

That helps me prevail in the darkest of nights …

 

The secret I nurture is unlimited power to love,

With the fire of an eagle and the care of a dove,

With the passion of a warrior, the peace of a saint,

My love and my truth can every success so paint …

 

For my love can overcome the most violent hate,

The deepest abyss, the most desperate fate,

For even when I’m besieged by problems galore,

I simply tell my heart, come love them some more …

 

The secret to all glory is to tap the love in our heart,

That makes everything we do a work of such art!

Lochinvar today !!

This is a strange poem . . . . written after reading Lochinvar by Sir Walter Scott. What a magical poem that is JJ I thought what would happen if Lochinvar visited his sweetheart’s wedding today and thought that the meeting of minds and souls is perhaps greater than mere meeting of bodies . . . . Hence . . . .

 

Lochinvar today!

 

He saw her as a bride tonight,

Her eyes they shone with glorious light,

Shimmering in white with a dash of pink,

She looked at him and paused to think.

 

Yonder stood the future man,

Youthful, nice with style and élan,

Father and priest by the altar stood,

Patiently, for they knew she’s good …

 

He quietly waited as he looked at her,

He wasn’t scared for he didn’t plan to err,

He looked at all, he met each stare,

He said I’m here with only a prayer.

 

Her dimples flashed, she smiled at him,

She left them all and came to him,

Then, suddenly the time stood still,

As the light of God their hearts did fill,

 

She held his hand, as He made a sign,

He joined them with His love divine,

His blessings entered their heart and soul,

Their lips did meet and they were whole …

 

The time unfroze as He waved His wand,

All they saw was that she shook his hand,

He held her hand and walked to the pew,

He gave her away, as is a father’s due …

 

The star and sun, He made them meet,

And forever made their memories sweet,

His eyes now shone with glorious light,

Though she was not his bride tonight!

The power within!

This poem is based on and written after reading The Secret by Rhonda Bryne.

The power within!

Go deep within to the core of desire
And light that fire to fuel thy thought
As every thought thy actions do sire
You attract the results you really have sought

Such is the secret of how life doth flow

So do we prosper, progress and grow!

Positive desires create positive thought

Fear and pain create but the reverse

So its only our doing whate’er fate we brought

So we create our destiny for better or worse

Such wonder we possess to energize and glow

Such is the secret to beat every status quo!

Yes fear and pain create thoughts so dark

Yes dark thoughts create desires obtuse

Yet deep in each soul’s a golden memory’s spark

Wash away the dark with such a positive muse

I write for I learnt and thought you should know

God gave us this power our own glory to bestow!
. . .

The very breeze

Very, very early in the morning – a storm outside and everything churning – and this magic happened J  

 

The very breeze !!

 

I woke in the night, heard the restless breeze,

Swirling the leaves, so shaking up the trees,

Churning the universe and its very laws,

Resonating my soul’s very restless cause!

I woke up with such a frenzy in my life

And only the wild breeze so understood my strife!

 

 

As the tempo rose did my agitation increase,

For a moment did the wild motif fore’er freeze,

And then suddenly did it abate and slowly died,

So matched, did my soul’s very fire subside!

I watched this drama in the sky and my soul

As the breeze and I played an ever synchronous role …

 

I woke in the night, loved the agitated breeze,

And in all its fury did my angst so release,

And then I smiled and perhaps so wept,

And finally did I in peace and harmony slept!

I woke up, such a divine moment to share

As the very breeze touched and healed like a prayer!

 

And so God appears often in storm or breeze

And so we rise as our every shackle so frees!

….

 

The inception process !

This is one helluva a poem – thought. It burns brightly in my mind and one day. . . . I shall have to leave everything behind to immerse myself in just this thought!

 

The inception process!

 

I have been dreaming all night

And they just won’t go away

Some challenging, some trite

Interesting shades of grey!

And they all seemed so right

Yet with twists and a play!

 

So whence come these dreams

Oh is it what God just wrote

Present playing future it seems

Or is it destiny’s advance note

Or where present the past redeems

And lightens the burden we tote!

 

Some say that dreams do predict

What future lies in store

Life’s courses sweet or strict

The opportunities at the door

Like an astrological edict

Don’t do this, and do that more!

 

But I say dreams we create

By the desires in our soul

Unburdened by reality and fate

Every innermost secret goal

When opens that secret gate

Betwixt being awake and being whole!

 

For in our sub conscious do we hide

Just every knowledge on Earth

Every possibility and every guide

Every success beyond dearth

There lies our true bonafide

There do we justify our birth!

 

So in that realm of the infinite

Where each of us is God

Just our belief our glory’s writ

Such that destiny be so awed

Where every knowledge is so lit

And our dreams the lightening rod!

 

So accidents our dreams are not

But journeys to divine internet

To create inceptions beyond thought

Where possibilty and reality met

Where whatever our soul hath sought

Through the dreamy path we’ll get!

 

So to learn to play this game

Surf the sub conscious with skill

The wild, rife knowledge to tame

Our reality with possibility to fill

And then visions won’t be the same

So in touch with divine will!

 

So, I’ve been dreaming all night

No they just won’t go away

For now imagination takes flight

When downloaded insights stay

So in dreams, did God give right

To envision our glory today!

….

 

The poem is a thought experiment into the fairly unknown world of dreams and the sub conscious!

 

In its essence it says .. Through dreams we can access the sub conscious to search and surf and download insights and knowledge and then envision oneself beyond the ordinary!

 

For all the sub conscious of each man, woman animate beings and the inanimate are all linked and inter-accessible and jointly store all the experiences and all the knowledge of this world !! The manner in which each sub conscious is linked is perhaps mysterious but real and always proved by the manner in which are intentions flow and are easily communicated to each other!

 

And so we may enter this world through our dreams and if, instead of playing on the surface – much like at a beach – we delve deep – much like the explorers of yore across the sea – and develop skills to surf and search this infinite wealth, we learn, discover and gain insights to the unknown. These insights so downloaded can envision enrich embellish and empower our lives way beyond what ordinary insights can.

 

So we evolve and grow to hitherto unforeseen and unimaginable heights!

 

Such was the thought and so resulted the poem ….

 

Hence …. Dreams are only one way to delve and discover insights from the sun conscious … Meditation is another way to evoke and access it!

I hope I continue to write more and more to my mentees . . . but one word to all of them – collectively . . . . Thank you – truly thank you – for you define me J

 

 

Personally speaking . .

 

I’m so just a man

Quite ordinary except

I believed that I can

And never ever slept

And somehow so ran

With passion so swept

True to God’s plan

Every promise I kept . .

 

I’m so just a man

Quite ordinary except

My heart did scan

For everyone who wept

And to make them span

My being so leapt

So my love did fan

Into each heart crept . .

 

I’m so just a man

Quite ordinary except

I believed that you can

And never ever slept . .

…..

 

 

Beat that no!

 

The world will sometimes simply say no

Whatever you do your class wont show

Thats the time for a momentary pause

Review the strategy, review the laws . .

 

Then return to the fray with awesome vigor

Full of passion and diligent rigor

Full of stamina and a quiet strength

Full of desire to go to just any length . .

 

The world will still try to trip and test

Don’t stop just believe you’re simply the best

Then will they all have to stand and applaud

Then will you create an edifice that awed!

 

The world will sometimes simply say no

Come beat that hurdle and surely you’ll grow!

……………….

 

 

Arrogant fools!

 

Arrogant success

Is temporary of course

The more you shout

The more you go hoarse

The more you preen

And wag your tail

The more you’re likely

To trip and fail . .

 

So arrogance parked

Focus the next goal

Challenge after challenge

So feed your soul

So arrogance eschewed

Humbly so rise

Tirelessly so step

Focussed on the prize!

 

Arrogant successes

Create arrogant fools

So the humbly determined

Eventually so rules!

Thus spake the Lord

At an arrogant one

Thy destiny’s to be

Burnt by thy own sun!

……………….

 

 

A mentor’s song . .

 

Higher than an eagle can you so fly

With the spirit of my wind beneath your wings

So do I dream that you’ll touch the sky

So does my heart to yours so sings

My heart and soul so with yours does merge

So does your spirit so lovingly surge!

 

Faster than a jet can you so speed

With the fuel of my passion burning in your centre

So are you reborn as a child of my creed

For I am your sun and your eternal mentor

Now you are one with my brilliant sunshine

Now we are joined by a life force divine!

 

Stronger than a gale can you impact the world

With the strength of my belief behind your flow

Successes so will ‘ve enthusiastically swirled

While you so shine with the most brilliant glow

So I do lead and our heart’s so dissolve

You perpetuate me as we together evolve!

 

Sweeter than a prayer can you so rise

With my humble devotion deep in your heart

So eternally passionate yet essentially wise

Sincerity reflecting in your energized art

That is then the future I offer your soul

Come walk with me so shall we both be whole!

…………….

 

 

Living my past life!

 

You are my child in my very image born

You’re living my life of so many years ago

I remember how many times my own heart was torn

I remember the sudden moments of ever loving glow …

 

I know your pain and the very effort you take

But you must face it yourself for your very own sake!

 

There were times when future seemed all in a cloud

There were days when the sun seemed ever so hot

Yet effort and courage somehow thinned the crowd

Somehow did life deliver the future I’d sought!

 

So shall it be yet its your own path to walk

Though I’m right there beside at adversity’s knock!

 

Let them knock but they won’t knock you down

That’s all the belief that you need in your heart

For as I did will you wear sweet victory’s crown

For you were born to further extend my art ….

 

Children so embellish the history parents wrote

So supported so guided but with their own load to tote!

………

 

 

A special connect !!

 

I stand ever straight

I stand so beside

For though I didn’t create

I am prepared to abide

And so whenever you feel any angst or pain

Come hold my hand and you shall smile again!

 

I called you a friend

And perhaps much more

And so I’m won’t to tend

Whenever your heart tore

And even if you feel I’m distant and far

Remember for you my heart is ever ajar!

 

So special are you

For our hearts did connect

Oh yes chosen few

Oh indeed select sect

So my heart will mirror whatever you feel

And as we connect so together shall we heal!

 

Yes the world will watch

And often so mind

Even call it debauch

Even attack from behind

Forgive them for jealousy is quite the norm

For they so feel cold when they see us so warm!

 

But do you realize

That quite something so divine

In friendship’s guise

Did our hearts and soul align

So even if you wonder don’t devalue the care

For just think how special is the bond we share!

 

And so life shall proceed

And so days shall pass

And as we become common creed

Of a superior class

Remember that to merge our lives were sworn

And thus in our hearts our destiny was born!

 

And finally to God in gratitude bowed

So shall we commit to remain ever avowed!

………………………..

 

 

A quest for questions!

 

Questions so abound

Answers oh just none

Though often I’ve found

Even that’s a lot of fun!

 

For answers have drowned

All options but one

And questions astound

Create many a pun . .

 

So whenever I’ve frowned

And let questions run

Opportunities ‘ve unwound

Some magic has spun!

 

So while questions abound

Don’t kill ’em with a gun

For even answers so hound

And often insights so shun!

 

So with questions around

And calm thinking’s done

Evolution is then crowned

God smiles and you’ve won!

Some of my most favourite ones in this section J

 

 

Presenting the future …

 

We have promises to keep and promises to make,

And many hearts to mend and some to break,

For everyone promised the Earth and the sky,

Some were truthful and some did just lie …

 

Some said leave, go forth and conquest,

For the new lands are so much better than the best,

Many hearts we broke some new hearts to find,

New lands, opportunities and many to be aligned …

 

It’ll hurt when we turn back to see pleasure on a plate,

But remember we’ve moved on new worlds to create,

And so we must move on just shunning the past,

For many will jeer but only some will truly last …

 

For life’s not only about what we do inherit,

For its crucial that we’ve been bequeathed His spirit,

Come, its time to move on and end restless sleep,

Make a few new ones and old promises so keep!

…

 

And God doth smile in His heavens above,

For He challenges only those He truly does love …

A passionate prayer!

Dear God I come to you
With my head so bowed
To seek thy gentle blessings
To stand out in this crowd
No its not to merely win
Nor ‘cos my heart is proud
But because to make a difference
My simple soul hath vowed!

Dear God I come to you
Surrounded by such strife
Challenges and wild fire
And the cutting edge of a knife
No I come not ‘cos I’m scared
Nor that I quail at rumors rife
But for the simple strength to endure
To laugh and love this life!

Dear God I come to you
So you may teach me to create
To stare destiny in the eye
To dare to mould my fate
No I’m not losing heart
Yes I’ve the courage to wait
As each day I seek opportunity
To open each adversity’s gate!

Dear God I come to you
Come activate my passionate soul
So stumble as I might
I don’t lose sight of my goal
No I won’t fear a fall
For even failure makes me whole
And so I pray thee, oh guide me
To lead in a serving mentor’s role! 

……………………

 

 

Every day!

Day after day rolls in inexorable waves
Diminishes yet not the core of what one craves
Despite all the misses and the hits and the saves
Each day depends on how each heart so behaves!

Day after day and it takes a courage so prime
To face each moment and not hide in future time
Sanguine yet aware of every gift every crime
So focused and yet in touch with a vision sublime!

Day after day and if we thread them together
By enthusiasm and not chaffing an imaginary tether
By eyes focused upwards yet aware of low life nether
Suddenly we’re balanced able to rough just any weather!

So ..
Day after day comes laden with such treasures
To mine ’em takes effort and strength to eschew leisures
Shunning inertia, fear and desperate shallow measures
We so convert each day into a font of eternal pleasures!
..

Day after day heed a simple message from God
Ignore fickle fate and strive so thy destiny be awed!
…………………..

 

 

Flower with your power!

 

There will be days when everything’s right

No not perhaps that’s just how you feel

For whatever you get is your created light

You are the master and you make the deal!

Take this thought and seed it in your heart

That’s the secret of your most confident art!

 

There will days when things will go wrong

Were you just bored or did you seek strife

Is that why you chose to sing a sad song

Is that really why you challenged your life

Remember it’s you and you choose your fate

That’s how the best, great destinies create!

 

Yes often you wonder if you really had a choice

Weren’t you just at the end of an external fire

Go deep into your soul, discover that voice

Where you seeded your joy or tragic desire

Yes indeed it is you so be clear what you choose

And then just play the game forget the win or lose!

 

Every choice see, has its ups and its downs

Every life so must have its laughs and cries

So don’t be too happy nor worry at life’s frowns

Be true to your choice, like an arrow your life flies!

I remember God said He’s given you the power

Come, its so easy come make your destiny flower!

………………..

 

 

That’s life!

 

Life is always such a suck and see

Giving it a shot without knowing what’ll be

Giving it all on just your heart’s bet

So if ever you lose don’t bother to fret

If ever you stumble, it’s just time to rise

If ever you fumble just re-focus on the prize . . .

 

Life’s always so, so it’s important to know

Our duty’s to try even if progress is slow

Our duty is to wait and yes, success does come

Either as we wanted or a new equation and sum

That’s what then is the reality anew

That’s what’s the new definition of true . . .

 

Life always challenges and it’s up to us to adapt

Never losing heart, alert, attention rapt

Nimble and strong, focussed self trust

Positive and passionate yet willing to adjust

Then you will find that you’re always ahead

Such is the fire where true heroes are bred . . .

 

Life’s just like that and so success you create

That’s what it takes to master destiny and fate!

Early morning wisdom!

 

Early in the morning

The mind really works

Accepts every reality

The rest of the day shirks

Just what is for real

And what are life’s quirks

Every secret’s revealed

That somewhere in the mind lurks . .

 

Early morning thoughts

Pay careful attention and heed

So rational and so sane

Let them guide your deed

Yes emotion will misguide

Will beg and forever plead

Yet conquer that flood

That’s the way to succeed!

 

Early morning calm

Directions from a mind’s heart

The centre of intuition

And just every form of art

Where success truly begins

Where every new life’ll start

Use early morning wisdom

And so then be a class apart!

How you evolved and how you grew

How shall you fly be a chosen few

How shall your life to its destiny be true

 

I’m sleepy this morning

But my soul is so awake

Together shall we now

Your brightest future make!

. . . . Continued . . . . these always make me smile J

 

Children of joy!

 

 

Last night I saw such a lovely dream,

Smiling when I woke up and ready to beam,

Because I dreamt of all my children supreme,

Because our love flowed in a delightful theme …

 

My children and my work do quietly converge,

As in my heart they shall secretly merge,

Yes I shall suffer the emotional upsurge,

But my sorrows shall eventually in joy submerge!

 

Else I shall suffer the fate of a lonely sun,

With no planets to balance the celestial run,

So it’s important to balance the striving with fun,

For what’s the point if our mind’ll come undone!

 

Children of joy secretly delight my soul,

Children make it easy to play a benevolent role,

So while I travel on to my eventual goal,

Children and their love actually make my life whole!

 

So my children and I form a pleasing pair,

My job’s to teach, develop them beyond compare,

Their’s to learn willingly even if my fire should scare,

For it’s their glory that I’ll one day like a mantle wear!

 

I saw a sweet dream but it’s the reality of my life,

Children heal the wounds of every cruel knife,

They bless my heart even when pressures are rife,

So I smile even when consumed by eternal strife!

……………………..

 

 

Eye your soul!

 

Have you ever looked into your eyes,

Try it once you’ll give a start of surprise,

For its not mere beauty or words so wise,

But a volcano of potential that’s only waiting to rise!

 

The eyes of course mirror your soul,

And each soul’s full of diamonds hidden in life’s coal,

So its our destiny to choose the true decreed role,

But each soul can and must reach an enviable goal!

 

But it’s important to choose for our actions follow choice,

It’s important to heed that hidden inner voice,

For once we choose it’s no longer a game of dice,

For our hearts and minds will act and discover each device!

 

So don’t feel afraid just let your eyes speak to you,

And you’ll surely know what you really want to do,

You’ll know how to paint destiny and in which hue,

Every time my eyes have spoken my destiny just grew!

………………….

 

 

Let’s create our world!

Let’s create a world,

And we shall have glory,

And progeny shall prosper,

Come and share our story!

Ordinary fears!

 

Many an Ordinary child featured in my dreams

Said, I’m not as talented as it sometimes seems

So what if you write loving reams upon reams

My wonder’s just a figment of your imaginary schemes!

 

I laughed at this new Ordinary child’s doubt

With this new penchant at any praise to so pout

But I had an insight what the inner soul’s all about

For potential overflows in an inundating shout!

 

Come li’l child don’t let thy potential so scare

It’s not, what you’ve done, but can do, you should care

For this world always belongs to he who did dare

And trust my judgment about thy abilities so rare!

 

And yet it’s true that mere potential means naught

So my verses are really to inspire you somewhat

So you may do what you can give it your ultimate shot

To honor and respect God’s gifts that you’ve brought!

 

So fear not and just do the best that you can

Even if you don’t win you’ll be happy that you ran

So just stretch to whatever’s your maximum span

And suddenly you’ll have fulfilled God’s sweet plan!

Dear child . . .

Success is yours if you care to reach out

Take the first step devoid of all doubt

And e’en if you need a few rules to flout

Your passion’s your truth forever devout!

Glory is yours if you care to reach in

Inside to the core devoid of all sin

The silence of belief amidst all doubting din

Perseverance shall every obstacle so win!

Success and glory and whatever’s beyond

Hath fore’er within then everywhere so dawned

For each heart has passion its own magic wand

If only we care to so heed and respond . . .

So come dear child don’t be afraid to care

Come with your belief and courage so rare

With your head so bowed in a passionate prayer

God awaits thee his blessed kingdom to share . . .
