Best Purposeless Poems

If dead, we cease to be ; if total gloom
Swallow up life's brief flash for aye, we fare
As summer-gusts, of sudden birth and doom,

From Cocoon forth a Butterfly
As Lady from her Door
...

Coldly, sadly descends
The autumn-evening. The field
Strewn with its dank yellow drifts
Of wither'd leaves, and the elms,
...

Here, in this little Bay,
Full of tumultuous life and great repose,
Where, twice a day,
The purposeless, gay ocean comes and goes,
...

Earth no longer
hymns the Creator,
the seven days of wonder,
the Garden is over —
...

He who could beard the lion in his lair,
To bind him for a girl, and tame the boar,
And drive these beasts before his chariot,

WHAT shalt THOU know of Spring? A verdant crown
Of young boughs waving o'er thy blooming head:
...

Ah! weary Priest! - with pale hands pressed
On thy throbbing brow of pain,
Baffled in thy life-long quest,
Overworn with toiling vain,
...

PEACE to their ashes! Far away they lie,
Among their poor, beneath the equal sky.
Among their poor, who blessed them ere they went
...

In green old gardens, hidden away
From sight of revel and sound of strife,
...

I
The little one-room schoolhousc among the redwoods
Opened its door, a dozen children ran out
And saw on the narrow road between the dense trees
...

Each day is as disastrous as the next.
I spend my time looking up at ceilings,
looking up at the moving clouds.
I fiddle around my brain trying

- My Stella - 84

She came and called me,

When Caesar, following those who bore the head,
First trod the shore accursed, with Egypt's fates
His fortunes battled, whether Rome should pass
...

The house in Broad Street, red brick, with nine rooms
the weedgrown graveyard with its rows of tombs
...

' I LOVE BEING LOVED BY YOU! '

My life overflows with happiness
As my favorite dreams come true.

THE POWER of PRAYER


Prayer is one of life’s most amazing privileges

Esther of God’s Bible became a king’s queen
Risking all for the sake of love.
She saved her people form total extinction
By responding to her call from above.

Life has no viewpoint

Life is purposeless,
It brings smile without reason,
...

My memory is a shadowy ghost
That I cannot dispel
Or a dark car driving me down
Unhappy streets I’d like to avoid.

Crumbled up or neatly written
Lost to someone else

An ancient football match that started with a big bang,
the black hole was divided in so many good teams,
with fear of defeat and its consequences
with greed of victory and its benefits!

I thank thee, no;
Already have I drunk a bowl of wine . . .
Nay, nay, why wouldst thou rise?

Swirling winds
and rushing waves
across the angry sea

If this were all of life we'll know,
If this brief space of breath
Were all there is to human toil,

Long ago a lightning had burnt her dry
But her resolve its might couldn’t foil
Her gnarled hands spread on the merciless sky
She stands on her root in the soil.

Abraham is said to be the father of the Jewish faith
The first to believe in the power of one great god alone.
Instead of the many his forefather's worshiped
In Abraham's heart there was only room for one to be known.

The invisibility is precise
Missed often by our conscience
Out of ignorance prime.

Spirit,
Winged with the thirst for life,
is summoned into flight
to the epitome of negation.

Arriving at house of Simon the Pharisee
Braved into midst of seated Pharisees
A sinful woman fell at the feet of Jesus
Weeping, pouring copious tears

No longer can you brake
my logical reasoning through your sensitivity

CHRISTIAN SOLDIER'S LOVE POEM

Darling I love you with all of my heart and soul
Much more than any of God's blessings on Earth.
...

Strange is the world stranger human ways
A sea of humanity in torrent of a race;
Where lame and healthy are all in chase:
Tottering or stumbling they all run
...

Even if With a gloom on the face
For the lost days you keep searching,
And a hundred and eight beads,
Putting them into a string,
...

Purpose? My purpose?
I never bothered with that question until recently.

You see, middle age has settled in my bones and in my psyche.
...

we have been filled
to the brim
our contents are overflowing
what is it that we can choose?

You rule what I do and say.

Sisyphus, the evil king of Greece
Condemned to death by gods of Greece,
Escaped the death by treachery, to be
Mortified again to a stupendous task:

it is raining and here i am stuck
under the roof of a deserted house
the windows are open
nobody has come to close four windows

You're the full moon of my nights
And the sunshine of my day
Like a queen upon her throne
You rule what I do and say.

My desire
Remained a desire
Never got fulfilled

Your life is in your hands, so decide

Painfully so painful anger sneaks upon you,
Love speaks softly by its self and is demonstrated abusively toward materialistic nothing's, abandoning the genuine definition Love is now made a man's emotion. A stool founded by a bold  manipulative, vindictive substitution of a faint care. If Love could be described in the up most as God's utensil L.O.V.E is a full understated description. And because it's not use able but only undescribable characteristic, with stern instruction •form your mind like his. ° and form your walk, talk, and heart like this. Know that all things in Christ are possible. Cherish the armor given by our shield never being a weapon. He says  'you will harvest where you sow'   Any seed can be planted and any harvest will come but not every seed has the right nutrients to plant and expect harvest to look like sunshine on a cloudy day. Thank you is the key essential in succeeding in any area. Pain will disturb the comfort zone that is effectively wrong,   prayer  heals the wounds.. while repenting will clean the soul. But loving, trusting, believing, and needing God. That's all the seed that ever harvested had, when they made it to eternity all the pain from hunger and bruises and isolation the pain from the world never mattered, and will never change, it will be left and used again for him to burden others when hunger is to much for them and all he has is one bite that will fill you up, painfully loving you accept the piece of food.  Sometimes the last of, only one or most important one someone has to offer so generously will be the only one you can't remember because the best came before the worst.. but  worst (Jesus being killed) always has and will come before the (best) Resurrection, coming back to save those in need. Because hunger had you distracted everything looked good. Anything that took patience was looked over instead of understanding the beautiful filling, the  energetic draining home cooked and well put together meal, hunger is the excuse that is easier to accept and hard to find when problems swarm your life. Painfully Loving continuing to the walk given to you, gaining strength and the knowledge of having sore feet. Painfully Loving the opposite decision where standing still, straight up with no movement began as a soothing comfort but with no movement things began to stop the functions having no core being purposeless, loosing the voice everyone is far and trouble is near.So the pain in loving and loving while pain is temporarily painful, you chose the harvest, you chose to trust the care of the spontaneous availability and feeling noticed. Painfully Loving other flesh, now I see!
It is pain ful to love and say I love u everyday knowing that because I am not breakable nor am I burnable, but to you I am diamonds are forever... making faces , and circles being the best to you as diamond that u have broken down into utensils. The fatal attraction has u clinging to life. Thinking that it's a want with no need to attempt to notice... that unnoticeably your burning your soul into everyone's piece.. even though I would love having that Diamond ring it's not worth the pain it brings, Loving someone who will forever mistake love is Painfully Loving.

I was standing in the gray section of my life
Overwhelmed, Extremely devastated
Hunting in search of light in a misleading life
I was then acting as a wild predator
...

Its 3: 00 AM in Minneapolis
The world is asleep outside my door
Across the street a light is beaming
It filters down from a 2nd floor
...

A pair of herons flying from a ditch
wheeled low and elegant over the road
one flew too low - a sudden car
ended her gracious flight
...

Sentenced to spending a day at the beach
the sun is frying my skin while the wind’s
freezing cold; holiday-makers with grim
determination lounging about; very few
...

Indignantly parading through life
with purposeless anger
can only cause cosmic harm.
...

Such an excruciating desire
To live in her eyes like dream
And to have devotion to the way
Her necklace caresses her skin,
...

It seems reasonable
to judge this disconsolate city
by the miles of broken pavement
and the avenues void of smiles.
...

That Yogi
Teaches us
How to be
In peace....
...

Purposeless
Lives, these
People live.

''Adventurs And Curvature''

Rings are made: gaseous jewels.
Through the corner of the mouth
The world is rising and falling
...

You mean to say you are more just
Than Almighty God who is first?
...

No hope one has goes away hopeless.
If determination remains,
On a daily basis focused.
To wear it and stroke,
...

Much time I spent, on pursuing
Watching and courting women.
Much time you might spend on
worshiping and propitiating the God.

Romance, humour and joy of loved ones and friends make life enjoyable;
Enjoyability of natural life is possible only in romantic way of life;
Life of civilization is not just machines, TV, phone, car and dress;
Dress makes a man but not his spirit in harmony with Nature is worthless!
...

Wayward youths wasting time in useless matters are
Simply losing great opportunity in life to do best
Of their ability in nothingness due to lack of a
Good ambition serving as driving force to do great!
...

Sense of beauty, use of knowledge and talent for creativity
Certainly make one do all things in high spirit to achieve
Something great satisfying self and benefiting humankind!
...

Due to duty and obligations friends of the same place are unable to meet ever!
But telepathically communicate with each other about all matters in the world society!
What they have communicated they confirm in person when they meet in some
Important functions like marriage, birthday or in bus or train on travels somewhere!
...

Rhythmic words in the lines of a verse is melodious music
To entertain the ears of readers to have listening pleasure;
But is it enough for poetry to satisfy one's curiosity to
Know some worthwhile ideas to follow in life to be happy?

Vivivectors, those who carve up, cage, or in other ways inflict
pain on kidnapped captive animals, misname their voodoo
by calling it science, as they place terrified painridden animals
on their bloody altars of greedy cruelty.

Life becomes just boring and tasteless
If you have no adventure in life to face
Any sense of security may make you worry free
But must be borne in mind that fruit will not automatically from tree

At times sinister, other times placid,

far over the horizon of the flat earth,

(after Charl-Pierre Naudé)

Where he cannot proof God, man does
by reasonability and reason and the collective debate do hold the delusion
...

Now that you are away
days are falling apart
and I feel
like the stripped chestnut tree
...

Tonight above me gleams the first shiny star
where God is somewhere beyond eternity
and in longing you are too far away from me,
while you and I are locked-down in space and time
...

For days he has found his way in the beaconed off world
during the early morning twilight
and he was confined and caged into a life,
almost mechanical in aloofness

I find no quenching for my thirst

With a terrible roar the diesoline-train does pass
as if no trains do run on electricity anymore
and it's in the middle of the night that it is noisy,

In this piercing umbrella-thorn bush
you left me behind with a marriage put on hold

My Lord, I ask that you give me life,
that You do determine my days over again.
I am a sinner and punished severely
where now purposeless I wander through life

I
Nothing of itself is in the still'd mind, only
A still submission to each exterior image,
Still as a pool, accepting trees and sky,

The parchments of the breath from this soul benevolent
Won't howl or whimper with the words at the last stop
Before it's time to get off and give all the tickets back
The breeze never asked for the price of its freshness

Desire across sex is sex.
The sexual desire is the peak.
The sexual pleasure is the strongest.
Sex is the trunk giving out branches:

We do rites, knowing no meaning.
We observe customers purposeless.
We follow scriptures outdated.
We hold gods' birthdays as assumed.

Bright wake frozen horizon
snow crystals chill heavy cipher.
Still heard hoary ghost glorified voice.
Voice vibrating Viking furied forth.
