Verbal Compliment: Poem


Verbal Compliment

Verbal sunshine

Does not cost anything

But it warms hearts

And makes up smiles.

Verbal sunshine,

It costs nothing

But it is sublime

And enhance life.

Verbal compliment

Rhymes with confidence

When you praise

Admiring comment.

A sincere compliment

Has power to spread

Joy and brightness.

On the darkest of the days,

Take a compliment

To share praise

And please compliment

Someone you appreciate.

Nobody has an argument,

We are all in agreement.

When Love Came: Poem

 

When Love Came

I.

It is very beautiful.

More than spring and summer.

There are not enough

Words for the sweet stuff

To describe the feelings

Of great healings.

II.

It came when it was a difficult life,

According to any file.

The birds were singing for us

In the morning amorous.

III.

Life gave us a miracle,

Very real, and lyrical.

Such a miracle called Love

That is approved even by Mister Dove.

We Work the Earth: Poem

 

We Walk the Earth

We fly like birds.

We swim like fish.

Let’s walk the Earth

From day of birth.

We walk and walk.

We talk and talk.

The clock TikTok.

I lost my count to track

When I am on my path for a walk.

I love my framework

At any time I storm-wrack.

Let’s walk the Earth

Until the day of death.

Earth Is Home: Poem

 

Earth Is Home

How great to live

Under the sky

That repainted

Every day

By the greatest artist.

Snowflakes are clueless

In the darkness.

Snow did not know

That Earth is home,

Beautiful and clean,

But I can feel it.

Life is definitely

Better with nature

When I am on adventure.

Perception: Essay

 

Perception

 

Life is all about perception. The older you get, the easier and more important it is to be present in the moment. Why? Because you realize your future has become limited.

I trace the shape of the past into spaces where the laughter used to linger. Memories create stories. Adding to the story a personal touch creates a unique perception. Every story reflects individual thoughts, emotions, and feelings. It takes courage and bravery to share with others.

Living in a moment means to be present in place and time. I am blessed to be surrounded by truly wonderful places. Time runs too fast; this is my perception. I think that nothing in nature lives for itself. Rivers do not drink their own water. Threes do not eat their own fruit. The sun does not shine for itself. Flowers do not spread beauty and fragrance for themselves. Living and giving comes from nature.

Writing poems delves into how the personal perception sees and interprets the world. Human experience shapes our reality sometimes through symbolism and imagination like adding strokes of paint with words. Telling how to interpret our surroundings and experiences in a powerful medium exploration services the perception to reality.

I'm Human: Poem

I’m Human
Balance comes
From calm awareness
In open and changing spaces.
Balance comes
In certain places.
We cannot choose
The music life plays
But we can choose
To dance to it…my ways.
I am neither
A victim or villain.
I’m simple: I’m human.

Tactical Laughing: Poem

 Tactical Laughing

We are here to laugh

At various odds.

We should live our lives

The way Death will tremble

And afraid to take us.

I am sourly laughing.

Death trembling 

To take me, not sure.

Also, I look after

The strange and odd situations.

When Death trembles,

I always stumble

And dissemble

The odd situations.

I do not mumble.

The only intelligent

Tactical response

To life’s horrors,

To laugh; definitely.

Years and glasses on wine

We do not count.

We are here to laugh.
