Pride Month
A Poem about Pride Month
Pride month's in every month
...life's perpetually wonderful
Sights on the everlasting jubilation
...believing in a better existence
Moving with purpose delightful
...and comforting anticipation
Joyfully strong in the faith
...satisfied servant of the Most High
Contented times of thanks and praise
...Divine forgiveness for penitent souls
In daily pleasure to acknowledge His Name
...the profitable rewards' in His Law
My liberty's guarded with prudent care
...for eternity with bountiful meaning
Rejecting the abominable pleasures of man
...accepting only the genuine Feast in Holy Company
Rapture forever!
...inexhaustible exaltion in my Lord
Gladness in the unending Light
...warranted by Deliverence!

Long-suffering
A Poem about Long-suffering
By Dennis Dames
Tolerantly patient
...through the delays and dissapointments
Firm enchantment of the good life
...in a realm of desired peacefulness
...we meekly sigh
Right was momma
...not easy it is
Through it all
...love is everywhere
...so are the good,bad and ugly
Rise forgivingly above chaff and empty talk
...delightful experiences speak truthfully for themselves
Resolute heart of peace
...easy-going spirit
...tolerant against all odds
Joyfully pledged life amid endless wars
...resigned about the things beyond my control
No time for toxic diversions
...faithful tolerance staunchly withstands
Everyday soul of unshaken fondness
...despite unforeseen hurt and pain
No life without death
No healthiness without sickness
No concord without discord
No happiness without sadness
No certainty without confusion
No sweet without bitter
No love without hate
...long-suffering's truly honorable

Restless Souls
A Poem about Restless Souls
Agitated spirits restlessly uneasy
...in and out, up and down;
...their drill in its unpredictable swing
Over and under, above and below
...their souls on the usual erratic beat go
Between and betwixt don't stop their show
...halt and move like an omnibus
...they couldn't care less about what the outside world thinks
They reside contentedly within themselves
...and are driven by an unbalanced state of mind
They do not reason reasonably
...with their always ready-to-go legs
They hop uninvited in your way
...and without sound - the same old same old move along in to the path of another
Moved by unmanagable urges
...a haunted being proceeds busily about
Stillness in short bouts
...a fidgety conscience resists
Something must move;
...head, eyes, ears, tongue, hands, legs, Et al.
Loyally ready
...in a split second of a random command

Writer’s Block
Poem Writer’s Block
I have a thought…
But I’m unable to write it out
Expressing it’s so difficult…
And words are so scarce right now
I’m thinking about something…
I know that it’s worth sharing
Writer’s block must be my condition…
I feel so helpless… and lost
I’m surrounded by motivation…
I feel the energy of excitement
But the words I seek are holding me hostage
I’m restless…
I should forget my agony for now
And focus on a meaningful task in the interim
Take a walk perhaps…
Or simply a short drive
Disregard the ink and paper for a while…
And remember life as it’s before me
Temporary conditions are facts of existence…
A dead-end in writing’s no exception
Be prepared for when the fountain flows again…
And record those thoughts in words preponderant

The Winds of Change
Poem: The Winds of Change
The winds of change are eternal
Sustaining life internal
As the sun burns brisk in the sky
The winds of eternity comes alive
With the fresh wind comes new life
And the old and faded, are relieved accordingly

Whispers transformed
Poem: Whispers transformed
Whispers resonate in the night...
Homage paid to the old trite
Giggles occasionally, and stamping feet
Exaggeration in full competition...
Acting out the notorious repetition
Chatter and gossip- the night stood still...
Not even a break for a unified thrill
Blab, whine and scandal...
No end in sight, except daybreak perhaps...
Yeah, oh yes...
Wow, someone said- 'goodnight'!
An engine started, and suddenly there was one less
Then, the goodbyes became contagious
A deafening silence followed
The night was free!
The sounds and songs became alive...
The natural creatures subscribed
Whispers transformed...
The night's welcomely reformed
