POETS ON POETS (Ode to the MPS Family)

So after being on this site for a little more than

just a month now I feel a drive within me

to express my gratitude to all the ones who have inspired me

on the way.

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

The following is a list of some of the quotes from fellow MPS poets

Which have left an impact on me, and I hope that everyone reading will

Leave feeling inspired:

 

“But the past

Like a chapter of history

Has its own mystery

Finding the real you

You, who played with fire

Bloomed in a furnace

In wrath of flames

Not to brittle

But ever last with fame”

 

“If I keep hope fresh

Deep within my mind

Oiled well,

I can achieve the unachievable.”

 

“Love and hate are only an illusion

Better and worse a delusion

Matter does not exist

It is only energy with a twist”

 

“She [the moon] and the Universe intertwined fingers

And calmly smiled at me.

“Nothing’s gonna hurt you baby”

And that moment- I believed them

And transcended into

Their infinite beauty.”

 

“Sometimes memories whisper

that you´re gone

and I keep myself from playing them

I´m scared they´ll fade

that every time I see them

I’ll step a step away”

 

“She can walk along the sea of bluebells 

when she feels brave to walk away 

from the only helping hand she knows 

from the only helping hand 

that actually cares”

 

“If you need blood,

do you ask what race or religion

the donor belongs to?”

 

“Life is a song 

if you know 

how 

to arrange it”

 

“So much music followed

Each precious life event

That made me truly grateful

For a life that seemed well spent”

 

“When my feet are grounded

I feel connected to all,

like a giant among many unable to fall.”

Poetic Dan (Wave to the mystic from shores of unknown)

 

“There will always be that one love

the love beyond compare

because it became

enduring love

the love which changed us

the love which contained us

the love which made us”

 

“She was wholesome, yet broken, a cool mist

and a promise

at the end of a very long day ..

Yes, my love was more than a scatter of moments by far ..”

 

“The simple things can be the greatest things.

Open your door to whatever life brings.”

 

“All, acknowledge 

having witnessed 

that cognitive: magnifying

magnificence of mysticism

majestic, waterfall of poesy.”

 

“Bless them that do curse you

Do good unto them too

Which hate you, and pray for

Them that mistreat you”

 

“A man stands upon a puddle

Deep as glass

Yet he believes it beyond humble

Density and mass”

 

“Aren\'t all lives created equal and free

Oughtn\'t we all feed on the life tree

God\'s children, and children of light

Shouldn\'t we share the same right”

 

“But always remember

No matter what happens to your cards

You are always in the game.”

 

“Love is everyone\'s basic unit of life”

 

“Boys walk by

Ill intent in their minds

Grabbing, touching 

Crying, makeup smudging

It’s just because he likes you, they say

Why does that make it ok?”

 

“I can see through my cage”    

 

“Midnight thoughts twirl

and dance like nobody\'s watching

as my mind\'s eye dreams

of the sleep that evades me

conjuring scenes of old hurts made new”

 

“Bloodline.

Living.

Off.

Own.

Dramas.”

 

Experiencing

You

Experiencing

Me”

 

“I bathe in a sea of music

immersed in lapping waves

floating in vibrating waters

purified by ancient notes”

 

“In the country is where to go to find peace,

You can let go of your troubles and find release,

Free from the troubles that invade your heart,

Giving yourself a fresh start”

 

“She can\'t help but to give in

To just let herself go

To completely loose herself in the light of the darkness

It touches her very soul

And she delightfully dines.”

 

“He drives a hearse

Says it keeps him off the streets

Plus, he has an empathy with death

His dog died”

 

“Your love convinces me that there is good in the world

All the ugly, painful stuff fade away”

 

“In this mechanized age

the nearer I come

to my final breath

the brighter the sun

when it rises each day”

 

“My city is full of hopes and dreams...

Rise of underdogs and fall of stars.

Racing through the grandness of possibility...

With the struggles and narrowness of humanity.”

 

“You want to know who am I?

I ask, you need to know this why?

It\'s really simple as can be,

I\'m everything you can and cannot see.”

 

“Reality’s worthless unless your uneven

spending’ benders in bonita springs,

in a once in a generation tsunami season

full send f%@#ing everything

and get eaten up by the ocean, for no reason.”

 

Need I remind you, just how much

you’re not in control?

Need I?”

 

The biggest weapon, is not nuclear

It is the idea of hatred and greed, that brings fear

Love and respect for all, is all that we need”

 

Sometimes, just sometimes,

An anonymous; teaches you a life lesson.

single hope; makes you survive the night.”

 

“You still don’t know what love means

to those who have to push it down,

hoping the light from the surface

won’t break over them”

 

“With stoics cloak drawn ever close

its threads of faction still uncut

whilst hope preserved in saline spray

will surely sever bigotry

let not our skin divide.”

 

“To die is gain, not loss”


“Singing quietly like a shy quiet child          

Who is happy to be quiet in a world full of pink,

yellow and peach energies.              

In a world of darkness and confusion        

Singing regardless of the colours surrounding there wings”

 

“Dream Till The End, As I always said,

A dream sets the path, I said,

The path you set for yourself, With that dream of yours.”

 

“But compassion…

Compassion is the red remains of the sunset

Is a phial of light

Is rare sweet water in a barren land”

 

“I am slowly looking to the window

Trying to figure out something

Trying to prepare everything

Diving into the concept of tomorrow”

 

“My worries slumber as

yellow-on-yellow, yellow-on-white

and more yellows surround my senses

Never enough yellow to fit the bill

my body relaxes, my mind is still”

 

“That shooting star I saw yesterday

Oh how I\'m yearning for seeing it again

I\'d wish for all this to be over

If only I\'d see that star”

 

“My time at the sink is over now, things do look a lot tidier,

but, I feel some sorrow,

the monsters mentioned, still exist, thus I recall my idea:

if only the world, was like a wash bowl!”

 

How far can poetry take you?

Places never imagined”

 

\"Let the inner power of Solitude be Unearthed

And a feeling of completeness be Transcended!!\"

Vamsi Sudha (Solitude or Loneliness !!)

 

\"Do you ever want to scream

at the unfairness of the world?\"

RainningHearts (Why?)

 

\"I try to outrun my thoughts
But my thoughts always find me\"

Rachel Laurene (The Overthinker)
