Best Thanks Poems

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

Rain, midnight rain, nothing but the wild rain
On this bleak hut, and solitude, and me
Remembering again that I shall die
And neither hear the rain nor give it thanks

I'll tell you something: every day
people are dying. And that's just the beginning.
Every day, in funeral homes, new widows are born,
new orphans. They sit with their hands folded,

Skin remembers how long the years grow
when skin is not touched, a gray tunnel
of singleness, feather lost from the tail
of a bird, swirling onto a step,

Lest we forget
Those who were blinded
So that we may see
Lest we forget

And the wild storm hath somewhere found a nest;
Air slumbers--wave with wave no longer strives,
Only a heaving of the deep survives,

That's why we celebrate today

Let these be your desires:

A great many thanks for all you have done
Without you my life would not have begun
You have been there when I most needed you

If I weep, if I come with excuses, my beloved puts cotton wool in his ears.
Every cruelty which he commits becomes him, every cruelty which he commits I endure.
If he accounts me nonexistent, I account his tyranny generosity.
The cure of the ache of my heart is the ache for him; how shall I not surrender my heart to his ache?

In my life there is room after room of good things

Whiles smiles cover our face
A mist of confusion
Awaits at our gates

beshrew a drinker who doesn't give thanks

A pure white feather floats silently towards the ground.
As it lands, I pick it up,
and rest it gently in the palm of my hand.

Though I am down and bear a frown
Because words of sword are always painful
And rejection is always sorrowful.
...

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are,
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.

Along the road the magpies walk
with hands in pockets, left and right.
They tilt their heads, and stroll and talk.

Your friend is one who answers to your needs:

We will buy presents galore

Disertissime Romuli nepotum,

Who prop, thou ask'st in these bad days, my mind?--
He much, the old man, who, clearest-souled of men,
Saw The Wide Prospect, and the Asian Fen,
And Tmolus hill, and Smyrna bay, though blind.

Nothing exists as a block
and cannot be parceled up.
So if nothing's ventured
it's not just talk;

In that top corner of the house
A cobweb swaying in breeze
What made the breeze become the wind
A foul play..it blew butting blind

What delightful hosts are they --
   Life and Love!
Lingeringly I turn away,
   This late hour, yet glad enough

Oh! Goddess of knowledge and wisdom!
Many born with me have no source
To pursue education with resource
Which I am blessed thanks to my parents

Hi guys..

Before the Lord we bow, the God Who reigns above,
And rules the world below, boundless in power and love.
Our thanks we bring in joy and praise, our hearts we raise
To Heaven's high King.

land,
To her, we extend our hand.

Silence encompassing all
Alone but not in solitude
Silence giving fortitude

Wonderful words given to me
By other poets sharing their gift for others to see.
Words of hope... and healing too
Then words of such sadness. That You just wish you could touch
...

I love sensual women and not passionate ones. A passionate woman closes her eyes, moans and shouts and the enjoyment of a passionate woman is blind.

A passionate woman writhes about, grabs you with her hands without looking where, clasps you, kisses you, even bites you and hurries to reach her climax as soon as she can. She has no time to display her sexual organs, no time to examine, touch with the hand and kiss your sexual organs, she is in such a hurry to slake her passion. Having slaked her passion, the passionate woman will fall asleep. The sexual organs of a passionate woman are dry. A passionate woman is always in some way or another mannish.

The Jumbo Jet has barely shuddered off
The ground, and I'm depressed. My scuba mask
And fins, my fly rod and beach hat

An emotional moment
For there in the mail
Was a bundle of cards
All..wishing me well

I felt a miracle for the first time
As your presence touched my life
You gave my heart joy it never had

You thought of Mopsus, and o'er wastes of sea
A flower brought your message. I divine

No, God be thanked
I am not grateful
In that cold, calculating way, with blessing ranked

In my life there is room after room of good things
my man is one room for whom thanks-I-am-giving.

For the gladness here where the sun is shining at evening on the weeds at the river,
Our prayer of thanks.

For the laughter of children who tumble barefooted and bareheaded in the summer grass,
...

I chanced upon a new book yesterday;
I opened it, and, where my finger lay
'Twixt page and uncut page, these words I read -
Some six or seven at most - and learned thereby

From earth's furthest corner
To the closest leaves
Love glues the gap between
Two hearts upon a branch

While thou dost breathe, that pour'st into my verse
Thine own sweet argument, too excellent
For every vulgar paper to rehearse?

Who paused a little near the prison-wall
To hear my music in its louder parts

While Thames among his willows from thy view
Retires; O stranger, stay thee, and the scene
Around contemplate well. This is the place

I was of 41 only and 64 is yours
You were happy enough to
Find a way for remaining crowned till '41

To a friend I met on PH
One to whom I owe a huge debt
Not of the current toxic variety

Looks as if three beautiful maids
Opaque costume becoming transparent
Thanks for the naught, you naughty blades!

Concerning my life and education

Thanks for the tears
Thanks for the fears

O My Lord, Your dwelling places are lovely
Your Presence is manifest, not in mystery.
My dream brought me to the Temple of God
And I praised its delightful servants,

On their deaths lies 46 dreadful tales
From their blood emerged boiling ire of revenge
Eyes on fire, multiple grinding teeth of tigers
Hearts ripped apart from their lost of kin

My thankfulness for the sacred text
you have engraved on my obelisk

The hieroglyphics carved means so much

Unknowing, day by day,
That their soft dyes have steeped my soul in colour

Thanks for fragrant air silently filling the garden
Thanks for colorful fall leaves
Swirling and dancing through air even in their demise

With thanks and love from mine. Deep thanks to all
Who paused a little near the prison-wall
To hear my music in its louder parts

Sunset and silence! A man: around him earth savage, earth broken;
Beside him two horses -- a plough!
Earth savage, earth broken, the brutes, the dawn man there in the sunset,
And the Plough that is twin to the Sword, that is founder of cities!

You know what, ?
Birds are a flock of blabbermouths.
All it takes to set them off is the sun rising.
I mean, gees, get over it, you birdbrains,

my Freedom, my Freedom
you saved me
you tore my chain
you detached the knots

Highway, since you my chief Parnassus be,
And that my Muse, to some ears not unsweet,
Tempers her words to trampling horses' feet
More oft than to a chamber melody.

But wherever you are, in Spirit or Body,
I wish to acknowledge, all that you have bestowed,
Beautiful memories for me, with fond remembrance!

It was a dark night, full of fights, as if the sun will never rise
The bullets were passing beside me, but I couldn't realize
All the people were afraid, , I was trying to resist anywise
The voice of freedom rose high in the souls of the arise

For so much in life:
Two eyes witnessing

Until i have found you
Waiting to be kissed

And fell down to the ground
I've been the queen of fools
And was trapped by the weakness' sound

PEACE ON EARTH

The beautiful green deciduous tree
In the center of our living room

Gripping the lectern, rocking it, searching
the faces for the souls, for signs of heartfelt
mindfulness at work, I thought, as I recited
words I wrote in tears: instead of tears,

Once poetry was only
For the educated
And the few
But how times

Due to paucity of time, my deadlines
Thought you alone will understand,

I feel at ease
Like my heart is full
And my life is complete

For writing once more, my exciting dreams
Needing a pen nudge me, with steady
Muse again daily, poetic scheming

Death is a sharp pain to the heart

Death is a feeling of permanent sadness and pain

Welcome, old friend! These many years
Have we lived door by door;
The fates have laid aside their shears
Perhaps for some few more.

No doubt the innocent lives were snapped
No doubt the widows wailed and children orphaned
No doubt the heritage pink tainted bloody red

Pride of my country
love for Poetry
thanks to all writers
and of course to readers too
