"tribulations" poems
Sunrise. Soft tendrils of illumination Caress my already Sunkissed cheek; The delicate arch of my back Is warmed by this lover’s awakening. Sunrise. The fingertips of him Leave no part of me untouched Bathing me in the balmy radiance Until my body, my form, my very being is surrounded by an ethereal glow. Sunrise. Where each dawning Brings this Kismet encounter Between myself And Apollo’s rebirth, Leaving me yearning and Aching for more. Sunrise. The troubles and tribulations Of yesterday’s woes Are forgotten--- Left behind In the twilight; In the shadows where This beacon Dares not tread. Sunrise. As I Stretch my arms And Reach for the heavens I am reminded that This delicate and alluring daybreak Is short-lived, Replaced with haste By the rose-tinted splendor Of morning. Sunrise.

Sunrise.
Fulfill the dreams of yearning heart Under the arch lights, bathed in glory Reminiscing the path that you took Forlorn and strewn with hurdles At times an effortless glide ahead Blended with mixed fortunes Inching towards the destination Trial of patience as going gets tough Dreams will be fulfilled, after tribulations Don’t stop dreaming just yet Ignore the furtive glances of cynics Dreams are to be nurtured and fulfilled

Achieving Dreams
“T'was the night before Christmas ...” and Santa was busy. The reindeer were antsy the elves in a tizzy. The missus was tending the ovens like mad And turning out cookies to make children glad. The wood chips were flying the sawdust was thick The workshop was bulging with toys from St. Nick. Contractors from Sega, Nintendo and Sony Were working on games (and a robotic pony). Iphones and Ipads (with virus removal) Were packed in their boxes and stamped "Elf Approval". Last minute touches were added with flair While elf stylists tended to Santa's white hair. Elf tailors were making some last alterations To Santa's red coat and his waist tribulations. The weather was fair as the weather-elf stated The routes were approved and departure was slated. Bells had been polished and harnesses buffed While repairs were addressed for the hoofs that were scuffed. The antlers were festooned with ribbons and bells And the reindeer were covered with elf flying spells. The clock approached midnight as Santa was seated. The countdown began as the flight crew was greeted. H-hour neared and the tension was growing. Outside it grew cloudy and then, began snowing. But Santa just grinned as the weather-elf winced. "Don't worry, my friend.   Our time has commenced." For the weather was nothing to Santa's conveyance. His reindeer and sleigh were immune to"delay-ance". With a whirl of his whiskers and a flick of his wrist The reindeer were launched in a flash of white mist. And I heard him exclaim through his teleport ray: "ALERT TSA. Tell 'em I'm on my WAY!"

The greatest demonstration of freedom in the history of the nation. Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. A great beacon light of hope. Seared in the flames of withering justice. One hundred years later, the ***** still is not free. We’ve come to our nation’s capital to cash a check. This note was the promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white, men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Now is the time to make real promises of democracy. Now is the time to make injustice a reality for all of God’s children. There will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the ***** is granted his citizen rights. In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. You have been veterans of creative suffering. Go back, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed. I say to you today, even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. A deeply rooted american dream. A dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.” I have a dream where little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the context of their character. I have a dream today! That little black boys and girls, will be able to join hands with little white boys and girls as brothers and sisters. I have a dream today! The rough places will be plain and the crooked places will be made straight, “and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together." This is our hope. This is the faith I go back with. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. When we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God’s children --- black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics --- will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old ***** spiritual, “Free at last. Free at last. Thank God Almighty, we are free at last.”

July 4th, 2018 Where the land of the free has become obscured by the shadow of oppression, Its' silhouettes are the monsters children are afraid of under their beds. How, fireworks remind so many gunshots Self-proclaimed nationalists cannot stay loyal enough, to know what would be good for this land. This land of the free, no longer belongs to the home of the brave, but the cowardly. Family & children born unto what we deem unattached, from the roots of this soil, they are not welcomed for lady liberty's "borrowed" arms to embrace them. When each artifact was sculpted from an immigrant's hands, but we've warranted their tribulations are greater than stars on our flag. If those stars stand for detainment, tragedy, and fascism. I do not proudly pledge such ideals, embracing my heritage of greats- who journeyed over on ships across seas. They are the stars of America's history. —V.H.

Utopia Must Be An Invention of the Mind I have searched long and hard, trying to find that place where peace and serenity, in our world may yet grace a chance to meet a dream come true, if only for a few where pain and suffering are gone, and will never renew Then I realized, this Utopia I seek, on a map will not be found still an undiscovered world, whose contemplation will confound finding some comfort, the thought of my soul ascending on high no longer to be troubled, suffering on earth never again to decry A world exists but not for the living, to experience this garden of delight a place where the happiness of life's dreams, will satiate your appetite where fear and worries cease, hope and desire now become your reality trials and tribulations throughout life, ending with that long awaited finality Maybe Utopia really does exists, but only with extreme effort can you hope to say, it you have acquired but most people refuse to commit, unwilling to put in the time and effort that is unquestionably required how mistaken we often are, thinking we can still remain happy, giving up by settling for that much less only up to the point we are once again challenged, and our daily events again cause us all of our stress To understand why so many people never seem to be satisfied, no matter what they have, it is never enough first we must acknowledge the answer might be found in the lies people believe, but most of them are a bluff Utopia must be an invention of the mind, convincing itself that feelings of joy and happiness are close at hand seemingly it might then be prudent to maintain this self-deception, since this is what our egos really demand Although it has been stated time and again that Utopia does not and can not exist, yet we still continue to dream coming to teach us this great lesson in human psychology, how much for happiness' sake, we're willing to scheme yet we can take note to the fact that despite our varying differences, this human condition remains constant in us all our primary need for true happiness is why we can rest assured, invisible Utopia we will forever continue to recall

Nothing made as much sense As wind beneath my wings As I ran from trials and tribulations And felt so beautifully free. Nothing made sense As much as tears on my cheeks As I wrote one last letter To set me finally free. Nothing made as much sense As a lung clean of smoke As I gathered my belongings And left a place I called home. Nothing made sense Until I decided not to stay Accepting my cowardly title I'm little more than a runaway.

I've known an extraordinary lady,                 'Cause I wrote poems in HP,                                                         Well, I thank HP a lot,                                                 That I have the opportunity,                                        To know a person like her!                 And found out  we have the same nationality, Not only that, she write these exceptional and amazing poems!!           I was overwhelmed!                 And blithesomely chatted her,                             She replied, We have a good talk,                  I was so broken into splinters those times,              I could hardly remember the throe,         But her words glare brightest in my heart, She inspired me,          With the hurting truth,                    Well, I knew truth hurts, Then we always chat,     We exchange phone numbers,                  And texting even not in HP, 'Cause I knew she is so much busy, But I'm still texting her telling,                      "I'M SO GLAD TO BE Your FRIEND." And that, "Ohayou Gozaimasu, konnichiwa & konnbanwa"              "Kiotsukete kudasai Roan-chan!" Oh yeah!            We love Japan, and their language,                  That made me love her even more.                        (Love as friend okay?!)     We exchange google+ & fb,         And saw her angelic face,             Scattering over her timeline,                  I saw a beautiful soul,                        Dancing and gleaming inside of her,       She's indeed a very good friend,                              When I have heartaches and tribulations,                                      I share her my pain and sorrows, She's like the sun in the noon time,                   Heating me up with her love and care,                     But even though I have not met her personally,                 I knew for sure that I'm so much blessed,             To know such a golden spirit,                               Such rare being in the amidst, And I do knew,                              That God will lead us together,                          To spend time personally as friends, Together with Ma'am Sally,                         As what she told me,           "We should have this ~poetess date~ " How I long for that day! I really pray to God,                       *That He will give you,                          The best of the life,*    *Give you good health,           To continue enjoying life to it's fullest,* *To have many more birthdays to come,                  For you to see more,       Of the beauty of God's creation,*                             *And to find,                      That very right man,             That your heart longs to find,                 For quiet elongated time.* *I pray also,           That you will remain,                  To be light to all people,*             *And be that very good friend, Everyone longs for,* In this beautiful day,                    I pray you will be the happiest person alive,                             And celebrate this marvelous day,                                           God had given you.       "Maligayang Kaarawan Aking Kaibigan."                    © Earl Jane                             ♥ E.J.C.S.

for vicki who loves this poem for the best reason ever: just does... <•> read a thousand love stories, pause, rest awhile, read ten thousand more, and then deny equality. If you ask for no more than you can give, you ask for not enough love is imbalance not an equation, with a single solution love has both constants and variable factors so you write of tribulations and tributes so you write of lamentations and liftings you think you are on the same page perhaps but do we not all read at different paces? one of you is solid, one is dotted and dashed one of you is straight, one is bent, forever curving when you think you are in balance in the same place in syncopation perhaps you are for a moment a calculus of one point on a trajectory and you say I can only ask for what I give and am given and no more, you have miscalculated this flux flummoxed when the old terrain is flayed flat but thru the windshield you see the plateau ends, the geography unknown, when you see unknown when you seek the unknown when you give from places you did not know you had to give from when you kiss a hand for  twenty minutes more than than the one minute you intended when you give more than is asked when you ask for more than you can you think you can give the imbalance that  is the only concert the imbalance that is the the only constant how do I know this? what are my credentials? you are not a teenage girl, what matters of what you know, recall of these matters?

Lone walker, In the midst of the crowd his heart was always alone. Sank into the belly of tribulations, Unlike the missionary journey of Jonah he was vomited into more woes. Like how a beautiful mountain in a wilderness thirst for tourist So his heart was hungry for love. If loneliness is synonymous to poverty then he deserved this cross. Lone walker, He lonely walked on thorns, struggled with everything, sweated blood. He lived a life of trapped miners in a cave miles below fresh air. Lone walker, Rain of respite barely shower on his path. Sun bit his skin, dews often united with his tears, For there was no even a free den for him to rest his head. His days were worse than the trials of Job, For he had not even a wife to encourage him to curse God and give up the ghost. Like an eaglet without a falcon, he was accustomed to crying for his dying talents that was hidden too deep for any scout to discover. To him the world was empty and void of helpers Until a moment came when he decided to abort his worries, fears and his ugly past. In a flash he recalled the parable of the talents, In a speed of lightning he stood and put his hidden gift into use. I key my mind into the eyes of the reader of his biography, As I stood in the midst of his children offspring in his burial ceremony fit for kings, With the assurance that he is not walking alone to heaven or hell indeed And surely his once lonely heart would be filled with merriment and peace.

Oh! Rama you are the most virtuous You are the eldest son of king Dasaratha’s You always stood by your word You are the greatest man in the world Your wife Sita is the most pious woman Your step mother kaika asked your father for a boon She asked you to go to the forest She refused your father’s request You obliged your father’s promise He grieved to lose your loving kiss Along with your chaste wife In forest you spent fourteen years’ strenuous life Brother Lakshmana shared your strife He cut demon shurphanaka’s nose with a knife The demon Ravana came in disguise Sita fell a prey to his vice He abducted her to his kingdom Sita was deprived of her freedom You wept for Sita like a man Trials and tribulations are very common You made friends with Lord Hanuman He was undoubtedly a super man He flew to Ravana”s kingdom And relieved Sita”s boredom He assured her Rama would **** the demon Because He was supra human In the fierce fight You were too great for his sight Ravana fell down in the battle field Sita was freed from his yield You were crowned king Many songs did the people sing We celebrate your birth day with religious zeal All our troubles you will seal By JVL NARASIMHA RAO

THE RAMAYANA RETOLD IN VERSE
The pressure of being a teenage girl Is slowly closing in. At times not sure which way to turn to Or how i'll ever win. Between school work and a social life The hard-worked filled journey, A life full of strife. When feeling like giving up, You wonder just why not? Maybe it'll all be worth it in the end, Maybe it won't. But I just have to press on Because I won't know which way life goes If I don't persevere. Despite my trials and tribulations, I need to stay strong in my life. Despite all the things that's going on. I'm just going to have to press on. High school life doesn't make things easy. There's a ton of pressure to be perfect around me but through this storm I'm sure I can make it, I can survive with my positive spirit, No matter how hard they try to break it The pressure of being a teenage girl Is slowly closing in But i'm gonna let nothing stop me Until, i'll be the one who wins.

The pressure of being a teenage girl.
There are many side effects of being ambitious, but having the desire and determination to succeed is not and will never be a bad thing. when you've encountered so many tribulations and you want something as desprestly as you want to breathe, you know that giving up has never been an option and will never be, but the most challenging thing is that most of these people only try to minimize our aspirations and what we wish to be. but I guess that's what we get when we're living in a city full of sorrow, deceit and unfulfilled dreams. And nobody wants to listen when we try to tell them,  but There's this  yearning inside of me that everyone is failing to see. and I have every intent of satisfying this hunger no matter how difficult it is to achieve. I guess a side effect of being ambitious is not knowing when enough is enough. I was taught that nothing good comes easily, We have to fight for what we want and most likely it'll be tough. but we were born fighters with purpose running through our veins zealously, causing us to be relentless when it comes to what we crave to be. now don't get me wrong I'll put on for my city KC, but it's not at all the place I aspire to be, and to put it simply I have to leave and I owe all of that to my ambitious personality. a side effect of being ambitious is having unnerving passion, making others feel threatened as they try to reconstruct our visions into ideas that they can understand. but just because they do it does not mean we have to give in. the ball is in your court, this is your life. take control. it wouldn't make sense to throw everything away to appease the mind of someone who has already lost their soul.   A side effect of being ambitious is having unwavering Faith. I just wish for you to never be discouraged, because ambition will forever and always be one of the most attractive traits.

I was taught that nothing good comes easily, We have to fight for what we want and most likely it'll be tough. but we were born fighters with purpose running through our veins zealously, causing us to be relentless when it comes to what we crave to be. now don't get me wrong I'll put on for my city KC, but it's not at all the place I aspire to be, and to put it simply I have to leave and I owe all of that to my ambitious personality. a side effect of being ambitious is having unnerving passion, making others feel threatened as they try to reconstruct our visions into ideas that they can understand. but just because they do it does not mean we have to give in. the ball is in your court, this is your life. take control. it wouldn't make sense to throw everything away to appease the mind of someone who has already lost their soul.   A side effect of being ambitious is having unwavering Faith. I just wish for you to never be discouraged, because ambition will forever and always be one of the most attractive traits.

Fights break out within every person. Everyone has a battle they need to win. Overcoming trials and tribulations; It is hard to lose a loved one or to get rid of a traumatizing memory. Some are running, some have stood their ground and some have lost their way. I remember this when I smile, I remember this when I bring joy into people's day or inspire them to try something new and tell them to stay positive. Because I've been there too. And I don't want you to fight this battle alone like I did. Until she came along and saved me with a smile and began to believe in me.

Genuine Smiles
It’s true; I can never be separated, from the eternal Love of my Lord. No possible form of earthly trouble, can take away Salvation’s reward. The times of tribulations will pass, be it suffering, calamity or distress. Christ’s seed of righteousness in me, brings forth the joy of sacred rest. With my faith, I will persevere, moving through today’s affliction. Since I belong to Him, victory is… already promised, under His horizon. When the date of my final judgment comes, I will stand before Him and be embraced, with assurance, confidence and boldness, seeing myself… in the brightness of His face. . . .

Poem: With Assurance, Confidence and Boldness
Life has been a rollercoaster since the winter solstice passed. Venturing through tribulations hoping fledgling love would last. Seeking out each others’ dreams and stumbling forth at times (but then) Reaching for the outstretched hand that puts all faith in love again. Learning about one another, lips oft locked and pulses swift. Anchoring steadfast emotions once thought hopelessly adrift. Quiet moments give contentment, hands entwined, so warm and true. Visions of the future me loving the future you.

Us
Girls married off To a dogma they can't stop Decided at birth I would tell you it hurts That it truly is terrible But it gave me an outlet Made rebellion bearable I abhor to see they way They block us make us stay They're pretty little vessels But now it's too fun, I have to wrestle The rules and regulations The trials and tribulations They really aren't that terrible Mess with the horns, you get the teeth Because she's determined to become a female preist Tell her that it's wrong That she disobeys God But she'll just tap the Old Testament Won't let her resentment Control her when she smites you

Fictional Catholic Rebel
Strange reflections, indistinct flickers whipping past, caught out of the corner of my eye. An eldritch feeling takes over, as if to say this is what it to feel like to watch time pass by. I lay witness to a whirlwind of intricate memories being swept away, jostled getting lost between the spaces. The remnants of a hurricane filled with moments doomed to oblivion, intertwined inside an eternity of forgotten faces. Anxiously I sit inside a cage of my own mold as I contemplate if this place is a sanctuary at all. Finally realizing that those reflections were small glimmers of the pieces I let go during my own painfully beautiful fall. Weep not for this wayward stranger, the trial and tribulations are something that we all must soldiers through. Diligently stripping layers away, remaining hopefully that the journey will lead to something magnificently brand new.

Reflection
our bread and butter...      *the web of stars,      the scatter of moons      and orbiting planets.* the entire universe harvested and crammed into the metre, of a poetic verse. our bread and butter...      *harnessing the regal rays of the sun.      inflating the fluff of quiet clouds.      drinking up the winds of the weather.      revering the magic in the flight of birds.* we fill our cups to the brim... with fantastical dreams and let spill over parchment the cornucopia of idealised words. our bread and butter... the incessant peeling and picking on healing wounds. of which we have learnt to savour...      *let bleed      the willing blood...      feed the seeds      with impending flood.* nurture to fruition thoughts stunted in discretion. bring to light thoughts hidden in the nether. our bread and butter... we dip... the nibs, of our word worn feathers. let them sink, shallow beneath the surface to the sanctity of a familiar place.      *casting our trials,      and tribulations...      pent up emotions,      and what we think      unto paper      with the burn of      everlasting ink.*

Bread and Butter
Tis I am just a man, a boy if thou want to sayest, a foolish lad; who hast hurt his blessing of a queen. Tis I am just a man, a sinner, a prehistoric bringer; of sorrows Where bird's dont sing. O' wretched man I am; overlooking this perfect flower, she's arrayed as a petal neath the tropical hours. O' im just the rain that brings the flood of many woes. I wish, O' how I wish, I couldst pour all contentment and merriment into her lonesome soul. Tis she's the rainbow, I the dusky storm. O' how her glow maketh mine day's liveable; O' how her voice is opulent galore. If only she knew, she is mine better, mine best; mine breath of yellow dew. Though I've not shown her the worth that she is; mine trials and tribulations hast become mine abyss. Though I shalt get through This passage of gloom. With God All is possible; Even being set free from this tomb. Tis I am just a man, a boy if thou want to sayest, a foolish lad. Who if couldst wouldst start all afresh; re-giving mine love, and to get all mine best. How a simpleton ive been; To not seest heaven's eastern gem, glimmer her perfect wing's, for mine foolishness, these word's shalt I sing. (Goes into song form, words "I love you jane, please forgive me" sung in spanish, greek, cebuano, tagalog/filipino)....... (Spanish) Te amo jane, por favor perdoname. (Greek) Se 'agapó Jane, Se parakaló synchóresé me. (Cebuano) ako nahigugma kanimo Jane, palihug pasayloa ako. (Tagalog/filipino) Mahal kita jane, patawarin mo ako. ©Brandon nagley ©lonesome poets poetry ©earl Jane nagley dedication (agapi mou dedicated)

Her worth, is worth more than a poem

Happy
She rises and falls like a reposed breath before an entire world's visage in her encircled arms. The incandescent glow of the stage has an intoxicating quality to it, the music being something liquid, viscous. As notes thrum in tender and soothing caresses, her legs supple, twirl like petals cascading under the weight of raindrops, giving way to a lush surrender steeped in a language of love and need. Her very fire and impassioned soulfulness lifts her up above the crowd itself, burning for all to see. In this moment now her timelessness enraptures me. Another part of myself awakens to her grace and renders me gratefully whole. A sense of euphoria slow dances its way from her being to mine, consuming every piece of my body in a fiery bloom— charging me with a crackling, electrifying force unlike my mere own. I can see now that this is what she was born to do— to be on pointe, seeing everything. Any instances of worldly fear is left to the dying. The rhythms of her old pains, tribulations of past destructions, are now buried beneath her feet. And her radiant smile while she dances still speaks to me gently— that to be free is to be wonderfully lost in her waltz with destiny. © BT

The Poised Dream
i. I thought of the former second's Hours, day's night's; How unaccompanied and lonesome I felt. ii. I remembered, even whilst being with former Others, how I kneweth mine heart and soul for them wasn't meant; as mine prayer's to god was sent, the pain I dealt. iii. As tis the time was uneasy for me, knowing I couldst be in the crowd, with none to truly loveth me as I them, mine soul screaming loud; lord where is thine angel thou hath prepared? iv. As tis I thought last evening, through all mine sorrow's, pain's, and dreaming's. God, mine father heard me, as I wept, and slept; How he waited for me to go through mine trial's and tribulations. v. As after going through prison, through cell's, through false dealer's, in real hell. I, remembered last eve', god doth not do thing's in or on mine time; the creator doth thing's in his span. vi. Not according to the way's nor law's of men, but to him, as whilst I layeth down happily looking at mine queen through this faraway screen, I hadst the thought, God gaveth me the answer to what I've prayed for a long whilst; he gaveth me jane, for mine health. ©Brandon Nagley ©Lonesome poet's poetry ©Earl jane Nagley dedication ( Filipino rose)

Salamat panginoon ( Thank you god) filipino tongue
How many times I have came to you with my head down ? How many times have I been frown upon ? I am sorry , For all my sins Which I knew I was wrong. I am sorry , For the prayers I said which I could not follow. I am sorry, For following my word, instead of yours. Lord I didn't know what you had in store For me, a blind eye who couldn't see The signs as the trails and tribulations put my life to shame. Now therefore, I became a lost soul Who has no mother to hold, Who has no place to go.. Only Wanting To Find my journey to the lords palance So I can be accepted, and reunited, With the one & only Who will finally love me. ©MH
