Afraid of the Best

I am afraid of this, though be my best

A cause of great concern

Will I see you soon or ever again?

I fear my best shall fade one day

And watch my ways descend

To an unfavorable end

I know my dreams were not always golden

But still they were of my chosen

This vile world has a say

In what you want to do today

Life

Life is precious

A gem on the sands of shores.

Though often treated as if it matters little.

Life is the beauty of the world.

As a rose, it blooms in season.

Hides in it the souls of all reasons.

Life is the sun it comes and then goes

Each life adds something new

Good or bad is what we make of it.

Life is worth living.

Poem In The Making

What if we were sainted beings emmbedded in disguise?
sent to this celestrial orb to show our devine prize
and as we go through hustle-flow a story takes a ride
these words we speak are flowers, just waiting to unfold
some so brightly versed, words so strongly told

What if we are all apart of this? A universal poem
each one has a say, each one here to play
And so then behold!
Life be a timeless poem, and we - jointly authors
our verses do intersect to tell which way to go

It's a World for All

The test of history never rest

A queue of villians give their best.

Coniving, cheating passing threats.

All this for a prize - a world for only one to keep.

If all these ways were ever had.

I fear -

I dreadfully fear what ills there be.

Genocide - an excluded kind.

One supreme tongue.

Greek, Latin even French and German perhaps

Come - on Time

Come on time, be quick
quench this unfavorable fog
and restore tranquil bliss kindly
Come on time flow like the wind
to lift my sale to higher heights
of dreams sought to attain

Come on oh time smile my way
be an ally to traverse
the vilest parts of worlds
Come on time be steady be still
show thee in patience, guide my will

Ding, Ding, Ding
hear bells rings
Ding, Ding, Ding
my words still sing

Come on dear time,
hear a cause

Nature Paints

Nature Paints

Nature paints the sky in blue,
Then adds the fluffy spots of white
Which sometimes hide the fuel
Of fiery sphere - light
A relief that gives a gracious smile

Nature paints the high mountains green
An emerald of an incline climb
Extending stairway to heavenly dreams,
The peak is in a target's reach

Our nature paints the dark stained soil
A symbol for our hard day's toil
What in its core does treasure hides?
Seek the rainbow you will find
All colors that our artist binds

Gambler's Delight

The price to play is steep indeed,
but reward to be had is more desirable.
Greed is the drug that feeds all inhibitions;
a gambler's reward is the only route to his plunder.
Though constant failure looms, pursuit insist
for one more try, a mighty blow to turn an endless tide.
One to forgive all previous misgivings.
Bit by bit the future hangs in the balance.
The dream lies high for that one thing, an endless prize.
Though it may never arrive, in the end,
wishful thinking is the gambler's only true delight.

London 2012

London 2012
by godfrey morris

Alignment of stars shoots high
Parading four years' worth
Of bestowed heavenly gifts
East follows West
North greets his South
At the compass of time
Where the Big Ben chimes
Every nation, each tongue
There they fold!
Promise fulfilling golden goal

A flag to wave
A crowd to cheer
A will to give
A song to sing

Once again they have gathered

The beast rest there!

Go before the night draw near

Before ill-times wake

Cause then, It may all be late

So lad make haste

Before next day

Harken to what *dis old man say

Make hay my lad

Unless be sad

My Best

My Best
by godfrey morris (January 19,2012)

I raise my head to the sky
Just as the eagle flaps its wings to the heavens
Then gazes at my target with grand precision
The going it tough, life swings one way
Then back again,
Which make you wonder
How to go?

My stage in the arena comes then goes
Until one other takes its place

I pounce like the panther to achieve that imaginable prize
But somehow complete redemption eludes my rise
The dream though shall never rest
My hope still lives
To give the best,
