Inspirational Poems (4,948)

I remember standing in an Indian railway station
back country, 1990, early for the train
and all the action was on the Gulf War
people were a little nervous
unknown how Moslems were going to respond
But it was so peaceful
just rusting iron under an Indian sun
and the chirping and flittering of sparrows
that seem to accompany all building
of railway stations around the planet
Odd that on the boundaries of a war things seemed
so much lighter than the wall-to-wall
havoc and information barrage from a virus,
perhaps I'll turn the TV off and
just head out into the country,
find me a railway station with no trains

Sunday I drink alone
Just me, the humming fridge and the Lord
I like the company of a man who's been around

But what up with this tree though
Sitting or standing far from hollow
Dance n wallow
In the harsh n gentle breeze
Goodbye to the leaves when it starts to freeze
Unless you’re evergreen
See I mean
This green
Sitting
Standing before me
How many lives have you seen?
How many children tried to climb?
How many sat by n drank wine?
And who or whom lives n resides
Inside
Beside
This side n that side?
Through any weather you endeavour to grow n bear fruit
Giving is what you were born to do
And you do
It so well
I talk to you
You speak to me
We go back in time to moments of dreams
To me it seems
Those roots n vines delving deep into the earth
Deep connections
Deeper reflections
And a lot of respections haahaaa
Come ere, gimme a hug mmmmmmm

And just when you thought you could take no more
Look there swings open a door
Now it’s your
Choice
To pay attention to that inner voice
Don’t want
Don’t like change
But something needs to rearrange
Fear kicks in
Put on that fake grin
It’s do or die what are you waiting
For
Feeling like glued to the floor
Spirit try implore
But you’re
Just not quite sure
Better the devil you know hey
Or maybe another day
Or maybe another way
The time is here and now let’s get it on
In dance n song
Pass the peacepipe n bong
United we strong like King Kong
And your conscience will never lead you wrong
Deep breath n swallow
All for a
Better tomorrow
Borrow
A little faith
Embrace this space
This place
This door
Come on in
To new beginnings
New perception
New wisdom
And new understanding
Notwithstanding
The lessons learned from the past
The memories made can be saved
But it’s time for a new song to sing
A new joy to bring
Or rather reawaken
Claiming back that joy you thought was taken
Ahm ahm
Don’t be mistaken
Wake em n shake em
Up
It’s on you to fill back up your own cup
And sup
And sup
Until your belly full
Now your energy high n on point like red bull

Let your light remain
In the place you left.
It will fill the city
Even if you are not there ...
Let your Light remain
In the place you left.
Let it be a lighthouse
In a foggy sea,
Let it be a medicine
Against grief,
A Light of love
In the middle of drab existace,
A hope when there is no hope ...
Let your Light remain
Even if you never come back...

I was just standing,
Outside your door,
Wondering if this new love
would end a war.

My mind floats
Long into yesterdays
Like the man in a love song
I want you.

Even with the hurts
That memory knows
Love heals a wound
As a fond heart grows.

Thought I'd better knock,
Before the feeling goes
-Love hearted friends-
And self hearted foes.

For us the disease came and went, a short war,
six weeks we hustled around the house
making pies and scones
the birds in the garden
knew nothing of the contagion
nor the autumn trees
from an endless summer
few cars in the streets
unplugged
all tuned out
save the occasional broadcast
saying the numbers were less than yesterday
all fine in God's acre
the universe just washed us clean

May you receive the same soon..

Taking this opportunity to thank you all
Thank you very much everbody
For the experiences on this journey
The lessons that curved swerved n turned me
The bitter cup that burned me
The level ups that earned me
My stripes
Lika general kick back n bun da pipe
Peace n blessings every1ne
This life a school n so much fun
If I leave here today
1ne thing I will say
Maximize n multiply the joy come what may
Learn to dance in the rain and smile at the shit
No pain no gain but don't dwell in it
Laugh as hard as you can
And never try to conprehend
Making magik with simple simplicities my friend
My friends
And my family
49 goin on 9
Man so high like he sniffed a line
Maybe I have
Taken a line or two
Spiritual intellect is my special brew
I turn n churn n deliver to you
Good vibrations
Celebrate salutations
I am gratitude & I am patience
Thank you

"She doesn't like love stories ...
Love novels.
Love movies.
Love poems.
Reunions, happy endings, in love stories.
She thought love was an invention of weak spirits, like faith.
Unnecessary fragility. Source of dependencies and complications.
Loss of individuality.
She was not a cold or cold woman, she just did not believe and did not like the word love.
It satisfied the desire for sex not to create affections, commitments.

When she met him, she was already at a peaceful age.
He had built his life, free of permanent presence and longing.
For him, displayed back for the first time at the time of farewell.
For the first time I wanted to see someone again.
For the first time desirable to stay after the sacrifice or the body.
She said:
- Never say I loved or leave!
- I will never say I love you!

And the word love was a forbidden word.
Whenever he felt the word grow in him;
Whenever I knew he was a prophet, I shut him up.
It sealed the word in his mouth, with yours.
And the word love ... was silence.

He asked:
- Why don't you say the word?
- Why don't you want to hear it?
- Why do you make the word shame and secret?

She was silent ...

The promise made in a girl's bed was silent with a woman's hatred.
I was silent ... as I closed my ears to not hear a word.
He was silent, as he pursed his lips when the pediatrician said.

The word love, sign of acceptance, surrender.
The word love, word that would kill the girl itself.

She said to him later, almost in the following:
- Never say I loved or leave ...!
- I will never say I love you ...!

One day he didn't show up ...
The silence of love becomes unbearable
A new and unwanted feeling grew within her.
Try to ignore the body's call.
Shut the will ... Shut the longing ...

When you didn't resist.
When you give up the fight and receive yourself, turn it on.
He said sadly:
- I love you ....!
- ... and hung up.

He ran to her. He had waited so long for voice and word.
He opened a door to her house with a key that was hers.
The key she doesn't have before anyone else.

Written on the walls of the corridor, in the living room, going out to a street through the windows and blinds.
Written in red, as if organized inside, tearing, piercing walls.
Written all over the house,
was the word “I LOVE YOU”.

He saw her in bed ...
In the hands ..., a paper that said fired.
On paper, drawn by child's hands,
there was a smiling man holding a girl with wet eyes in revolt.
The man said I love you and smiled.
A word crossed out over and over ... until the paper is torn ...

When you know it's real
Like a done deal
Nobody can tell you how you feel
Something like an encryption
A conviction
You don't need no subscription
There where it sits
When your truth hits
On the inside like an affliction
Boring deep down lika mole in a hole
Taste touch n feeeeeeeel
The core of your being, I am your soul
Without me you do not breathe
Without me you are lifeless n yet as long as you're living I won't leave
Without the essence of my presence being present in this present
Where would you be?
What would you know?
Like a zombie
Wandering around without a glow
Ya know ya know
You see them here you see them there
A hot mess walking in darkness & no flare
Oh yes they're alive n still blessed
Yet looking so depressed
Heartless n soulless
Reigniting of that fire
Go within n then inquire
Of those things
That make the soul sing
Some may be frightening
Some may be challenging
Let them be enlightening
Choose to manage him
Manage her
Yea like a manager
Order construct
Reorder conduct
Face that being within
Embrace that being within
Which in essence holds the answers to every single thing
When you're lost n not sure which way to go or flow
That's when you trust n believe in your own soul
You may not understand or know
But your soul always knows which way to go or flow
You wanna go here
The soul pleading in your ear
When you don't pay attention you end up shedding tears
1ne more time
The soul knows
Tune in feel n flow with its flows
That is if you wanna spiritually grow
