"uplift" poems
Hey there, I am me. Me am I. A black beauty am I. The sun smiled at my body and turned my skin into its own little chocolate factory. Several shades of a dazzling dark complexion. A black beauty am me. As I walk, the view of my curves captivates the attention of all those looking on. Wow they say, **** isn't she fine. A black beauty am I. People often underestimate my potential but they don't know that there's more to me than meets the eye. My intelligence allows my voice to be heard because I excel at everything I do. A black beauty am me. A warrior, a fighter, a lover and a friend. I am a black beauty who believes in the power of sisterhood to uplift rather than tear down; to encourage rather than discourage; to dream rather than to fight. Not only am I beautifully black but I am me and me am I...Black beauty....

A designer ****** A nip and a tuck A trim of the curtains A tightening up A complementary adjustment A tidying of bits Matches the uplift You had on your **** So 6 months it took To create the perfect ****** Only to find he's left you tonight

Failure. Everyone experiences it, In various shapes and forms, School. grades. friends. Life, Lots of frustration, Hard work and dedication, But still failed, Endless studying, Overworking oneself, Thoughts of achieving success, Like trying to find a needle in a haystack, The dream of getting the test, With the BIG A on it, Feeling the ease of the heavy stress, Uplift off the shoulders, Knowing that they did it, They made the dream they were striving for, Having the joy of saying, I have succeed. But the dream fades away, The feeling of coming out of a coma, To see yourself in class, Doing nothing, but daydreaming, You realized upon that, To be doomed to the fate, Of failing once again.

Failure
Goldbrown upon the sated flood The rockvine clusters lift and sway; Vast wings above the lambent waters brood Of sullen day. A waste of waters ruthlessly Sways and uplifts its weedy mane Where brooding day stares down upon the sea In dull disdain. Uplift and sway, O golden vine, Your clustered fruits to love's full flood, Lambent and vast and ruthless as is thine Incertitude!

Flood
I would rather drink than eat, And though I superbly sup, Food, I feel, can never beat Delectation of the cup. Wine it is that crowns the feast; Fish and fowl and fancy meat Are of my delight the least: I would rather drink than eat. Though no Puritan I be, And have doubts of Kingdom Come, With those fellows I agree Who deplore the Demon *** Gin and brandy I decline, And I shy at whisky neat; But give me rare vintage wine,-- Gad! I'd rather drink than eat. Food surfeit is of the beast; Wine is from the gods a gift. All from ********** to priest Can attest to its uplift. Green and garnet glows the vine; Grapes grow plump in happy heat; Gold and ruby winks the wine . . . Come! Let's rather drink than eat.

SONNET TRIBUTE: NISCHAL SHETTY
Spring bursts to-day, For Christ is risen and all the earth's at play. Flash forth, thou Sun, The rain is over and gone, its work is done. Winter is past, Sweet Spring is come at last, is come at last. Bud, Fig and Vine, Bud, Olive, fat with fruit and oil and wine. Break forth this morn In roses, thou but yesterday a Thorn. Uplift thy head, O pure white Lily through the Winter dead. Beside your dams Leap and rejoice, you merry-making Lambs. All Herds and Flocks Rejoice, all Beasts of thickets and of rocks. Sing, Creatures, sing, Angels and Men and Birds and everything. All notes of Doves Fill all our world: this is the time of loves.

An Easter Carol
Poetry has to rhyme No it doesn’t That lie is just a crime It’s meant to fixate To inflate The curious mind The literate kind Words in a verse The gold in the purse Of a creative person Poetry has to rhyme No it doesn’t Your wrong this time Its meant to uplift To drift Into a person thoughts A charm of sorts Letters in a line All beautiful and fine To read everyday

Poetry has to rhyme
I was feeling down depressed and dark. I put some rocks in my cup to uplift my spirits, to climb out of the hole. I want to run on the clouds and touch the sun; go 180 around the third turn. Feel nothing but the wind; go out like Earnhardt Sr. in a blaze of glory. Last lap last run.

Rocks in my Cup
I feel the need to walk alone, Counting my steps, one two three And laugh at myself, how stupid me. I feel the need to have a talk, Talk that makes no sense, neither to you nor to me, oh God! I feel the need to take a turn, From vibes that are negative, which may never ever uplift me. I feel the need of soothing music, A little now and a little later, I need it every passing hour. I feel the need to love myself, As i need to be loved, Purely, perfectly and passionately.

SELF-LOVE
I am just like you, except there is something stopping me Racism; Stunting me from the same opportunities as any other person Being an outcast, a black sheep in a world of white sheep Due to the melanin in my skin, a feature everyone has that is skin deep I come from the natural essences of meticulous hair products in my hair Used to tame my true being because it looks ***** when in reality my hair is but of African descent, as am I As I walk past you, you give me nasty looks as the smell of my tamed curls wafts to your nose I walk like you, talk with the same tongues as you, see like you do, and have a soul within the vessel of my body and hear the same way Only the things I hear and see are not kind or compliments about things I wear or how I look Instead, I am met with hateful eyes, pointing fingers and a raised voice I am judged for anything I do: my native tongue, my natural curls, and the color of my skin You look at me with belligerent eyes, your hands moving around symbolically to create a point I am just you, just with many differences between us and a whole different world; yours without segregation I am just like you, I can express how I feel in different ways just like you can I can create music with my tongue and I can create a dance with the rhythm my ancestors blessed upon me I can create a sketch or painting with my hands to express the tragedies segregation has caused I move my feel methodically to the words of God himself, which uplift my conflicted soul in desperate need of prayer I am just like you, except my world consists of using “colored” bathrooms and sitting in places only for “colored” people Is the reason that I am called colored is due to the color of my skin, which is unnatural to your European eyes? I go to church just like you and believe in the same ten commandments just as you If there’s one thing you should know, it is that I am just like you; I am human mbm

That time of night, that lovely orange glow. A Streetlight can warm the soul, don't you know? Who reckoned that cold wires, metal, glass Could comfort one with a sight like hot brass? The ***** yearn of the flame mimicked there, This soft, sweet, and supple light comes to bear. The sun does not compare, it only blinds. As for headlights, to me similar finds. The daunting nature of the traffic lights, Wishes only to control the good nights. On top of my cliff these radiant stars, Do uplift and burn these sullen hearts ours. For white and blue lights do nothing but be, These orange Streetlights do so elate me.

Ode to a Streetlight
Excuse me for my hurt, I know you mean well, And you want to inspire, And uplift me, But language is a fickle art. One that can make the difference, Composing tone and the words themselves. And there is no greater insecurity Than the one called Me. Since the very beginning, I have been openly listening, Engaging in thoughtful discussion - The subject of You, the percussion. I immediately spotted possible repercussions. I wanted, and I still do, To know your essence, But healthy exchanges Involve equality, And I don't want to be left hanging, Feeling like I'm lesser. I crave knowing the rest of your essence, But have you no interest In knowing the same? Are our minds connected Of the same fibers Or are we what we weave, Being different in how we perceive, A lifetime of individual strings? The only Person I should keep in my life, Making me feel inferior and uninteresting, Is Me - And I shall escape that fate, With unconditional love, and positivity. I am deeply interested, In knowing MySelf, loving MySelf, And to You, who has shown limited interest In simply knowing me, You, I choose as a direction of my Purity, You, unaltered and true, You, and Me, Alone - It all, once again, Always begins with You.

Insecurity
I am starting afresh, starting new, not with the many, only with a few. I left behind what did not grow, held the door open, asked them to go. For this year, my head is very clear, who doesn't uplift you, really ain't your dear. For this year, my heart is very aligned, who is not kind, really ain't worth your time. -Paras Bajaj #PoetrybyParas Instagram : @mr.parasbajaj

Mindset
What's happening to all of us? The so-called generation of tomorrow? Don't you remember how we used to be? Before we all grew up, swearing that when we're "big" we're never going to smoke or drink? That boys were yucky and girls had Germs? Remember how carefree we all used to be? It didn't matter to us what people said or even what they thought. We didn't care if our hair got wet or a stain got on to our clothes. Now we've turned everything around, never meaning the words that we said. Its as if every memory of who we were, has shattered, into tiny bits of pieces. Remember the dreams we had when we were young? The morals and virtues we swore we'd never rid of, holding on to these for dear life, yes still we threw them away. The people we are, the children we used to be, now a totally new adolescent. A conjunction of minuscule parts of both our past and present. Remember the days we all were friends, no backstabbing, no lies, and complete honestly. Sharing the humour, not hiding the facts, lived life freely, what happened to us? What happened to the people we used to be? The all grew up that's what happened I guess, but now barely recognisable. The little child still somewhere deep in the interior of the hard outside we've formed. Making ourselves to seem like we're stubborn, matured adults, when that's really what we're not. We're a mixture of what we all used to be and a huge part made up of what we've been through. All our experiences, both good and bad. All our dreams, some nourished since we were young, and others newly spurted. Our decisions to give in to peer pressure, or resist temptation. Our choices. Our friends, the ones that uplift is and the ones that have torn us down. Our family, the ones who loved us and the ones who have hurt us. Our education, tons of learning experiences. Our relationships, that all formed our inner beings more intricate than all of the above. Our emotions leading us and misleading us to where we might or might not end up . Look, i'm not saying all these things determine where we end up but they sure do influence it. And that's what happened to us. That is what we've become and that's what we are. That's made up all the parts of who we really are. What's happened to us, I repeatedly ask , though the answer, it seems so clear. Hard to accept, what we've become and who we strive to be.

Unofficially the love warrior Locked jaw..inner locked hearts.. Exchanging pain..enduring smiles Meaningless thoughts Fading.. as I pull deeper.. What ...have ...I ...come ...to... be.. A Love warrior Spread...and conquer Divide only to reignite... Shots to the heart...close blank range.. Too Close for comfort Never comfortable in self Destruction... intolerable to the unforeseen to the forsaken eye.. Tip toe around passion..French kiss guilt trips..as Intellectual passionately strokes my love warrior soul..war is an uproar of pain..hurt..love and never being logical.. Warmth with your sweet grace....bless my inner being for loving is always a warrior when attached to something so superficial, self reliance leads to deprivation..loving me takes a warrior.. I break you down only to uplift with greatness that overflow in the fountain of defeat..slowly losing...dying to to belong..love is killing me ...warrior  spirit never letting up...love secretly unfolding times of the essence of being the love warrior..

Not all men insecure because their spouse makes more money. The man just happy to have a loving partner. It's those males with sensitive egos. Who complains about his lady bringing home more bread? Who let the old role of a man dictates to them? While many males isn't lumped together with them. Take those ladies at the top. They don't brag about it. Because they earned the position to be there. And don't need anything or anyone to uplift them. They solely believes action speaks louder than words. Yes, many males comfortable with a working spouse. That's just more percentage of money to assist in helping the finances of the house. You might read an article of two. Boasting of a woman in a man's field. Or, what it use to be? And look closely at the writer. It's mostly written probably by a woman. Who first brought up the subject of making more than most men. Except , many aren't upset. If they know she has the experience.

Not Upset
I fell in love with you because you were cautious with me. You were cautious with my heart. You were nervous and aware of every little thing you did or said; you were careful with me. I fell in love with you because you were my friend. You made me laugh. I started to feel safe and comfortable being around you because of how easily we got along, how simple it was being with you, and how happy I was in your presence. I fell in love with you because you listened to me. You looked at me and never averted your gaze. You soaked in every little thing I had to say. You made me begin to realize my ideas meant something. You became the ears for every idea that I felt able to share. You gave me the ability to share myself. I fell in love with you because you shared yourself with me, too. I fell in love with you because you were way more cautious with my heart than you were with yours. You were vulnerable with me; you let me in so quickly and so deeply. If you had any walls, then I never saw them. You made me feel like I didn't need walls either. I fell in love with you because of your interests, because of your intelligence, and because of your dreams and aspirations. I fell in love with you because of your kindheartedness, nobility, and because of your unfailing honesty. I fell in love with you because of your perseverance and your patience when I became hard to please. I fell in love with you because you saw me at my worst and still made me feel beautiful. I fell in love with you because you learned my deepest, darkest secrets and insecurities and still saw me as a whole person. I fell in love with you because you shared yourself with me and I was able to love you as a whole person, too. I fall in love with you every day. I fall in love with your smile and your laugh, just like I did the first night I met you. I fall in love with the words that you say and the respectful touches that you give me when I need them the most. I love you. I love the arches in your brows when you focus; I love the curves of your smile when you're intrigued; I love the way your hands fold over mine when you walk with me. I love the sound of your voice that feels like home; I love the sky blue color of your eyes that hold my gaze; I love the words that you say that make me feel safe. I love the way you love me and hold me accountable for being who I am. I love the way you encourage me and uplift me in every way that you can. I love who you are and I always will. I fell in love with you then, I love you now, and I will always fall in love with you every single day.

you do not need to be quiet. you do not need to expose your heart to this brutal world to feed its ugly desire. you only need to walk into the wilderness of your soul and breathe, succumb to the silence in your heart; rebel and provoke, then embrace the soft despair of your broken body and heal; in the miles of broken road between your heart and mine, repent; cry a little and scream, for the valley will echo in redemption and uplift you into the timberline and up again to the highest point above the valley floor until the sun whips its fingers across your face and you stagger, kneel, then pray in your enlightened state; you will smile when you come home to the craggy rocks and dusty rivers and the tender patches of moss along the boulders; you will tease the tall grasses and the buttercups and the sunflowers with your fingers and push deep through the mud with your toes; here, silence is forgiving.

lessons from the valley: a response to mary oliver's "wild geese"
She is one of the angel who is sent from above, She has the biggest heart in every terms of love. That's why she's rare, not like any other There's none so devotional as that of 'Mother', Her love is something that no one can explain, It is made of endless love, sacrifice and pain. Her power is super, how can she do it all? She has all solutions for my problems - big or small. She will be the one who will stand everywhere, In every situation, when no one else will be there. She makes me feel so good, safe and sound, When she is there with me around. She is the reason everyday I smile, For me, she can run for a mile. She's so pretty and versatile, For doing everything she has her own style. It's so difficult to understand what she thinks, Her heart is soft as pink. Words are less to describe her behavior, She's my world, she's my savior. Thank you God for this precious gift, I Promise that I will always uplift.

WONDER WOMAN
As a pale phantom with a lamp Ascends some ruin’s hainted stair, So glides the moon along the damp Mysterious chambers of the air. Now hidden in cloud, and now revealed, As if this phantom, full of pain, Were by the crumbling walls concealed, And at the windows seen again. Until at last, serene and proud In all the splendor of her light, She walks the terraces of cloud, Supreme as Empress of the Night. I look, but recognize no more Objects familiar to my view; The very pathway to my door Is an enchanted avenue. All things are changed. One mass of shade, The elm-trees drop their curtains down; By palace, park, and colonnade I walk as in a foreign town. The very ground beneath my feet Is clothed with a diviner air; While marble paves the silent street And glimmers in the empty square. Illusion! Underneath there lies The common life of every day; Only the spirit glorifies With its own tints the sober gray. In vain we look, in vain uplift Our eyes to heaven, if we are blind; We see but what we have the gift Of seeing; what we bring we find.

Moonlight
The walls close in slowly, as the light begins to fade
 No more youthful smiles, the days only masked with grey
 And yet the world keeps turning
 People rushing on by
 Filling their days with worry, 
a tear drop wets my eye.
 Can you feel the hunger burning,
 your stomach turns to rot
 As all are born must stop breathing, eventually an afterthought. Can you see the light upon the hill for which we all aspire?
 Tis the goal of justice, held in the arms of another.
 Who is it that holds the key to swing open heaven’s gate
? Can we obtain succor, to save us from this state? Socrates says it is the philosopher king;
 But even kings are mortal captains
 And their love of knowledge
 cannot stop them from unjust folly How does one find the answer to what is the moral law of God?
 Does it uplift the personality, or curse it free from thought?
 Better yet, what is your **** worth?
 Would you lay down your life a martyr
 to bury your brother beneath the dirt? Left in a world so full of imperfection, we take refuge in the days advances
 Television, computers, ipods, and Wiis, lose your self in trivial things.
 This distraction gives those in power all that they can want,
 For if good men cannot engage and stop the warring
 There is nothing to halt man’s wayward plot. Sin is separation; there is no us and them.
 That is your ego and your thought deploring
 A mind bereft of ken.
 Open up your Eye young child, become the all-seeing Zen
 Only then Justice will not matter,
 For Justice will be in all of us again.

Dark days, Bleak Nights, and Dead Dogs: An Ode to Justice
