Tese's blog: "My Poetry"

'A thing of beauty is a joy for ever' Words of Keats one can forget never What is beauty - beauty is where One can enjoy here and there, every where! Grecian urn a beautiful piece Niagara falls a beautiful place Silver streaks of water brings us peace Hills and dales sure nature's grace! Does beauty lie in the objects seen Or lie in the eyes of the seer keen? Beauty seen in the scorching Sun Beauty felt in the biting cold Beauty heard in the melody of birds Beauty smelt in the fragrance of rose Beauty tasted in the bitterness of neem Beauty found sure in every mean(s) ! 'Beauty is truth and truth beauty That is all what ye know on earth And what all ye need to know' Words of Wisdom From votary of beauty And a devotee of Almighty! Creator of noble beauty Harbinger of peace and piety Bless me with those eyes and mind Beauty in ugliness that they can find! Beauty of the mind and beauty of the soul Sure makes one the wholesome whole!

So many beauties in this appealing world The true beauty lies in the beholder's eyes There is beauty in the child's innocence and in mother's love There is beauty in a friend's affection and in a tender heart There is beauty in a pretty smile and caring eyes There is beauty in the morning sun and a rainy day There is beauty in the flaky slow and a pleasant spring There is beauty in the milky moon and the graceful rivers There is beauty in a hard earned victory and a hopeful soul There is beauty in me and beauty in you So many beauties in this spectacular world and its dazzling life And the true beauty lies in the beholder's eyes

Obstacles or problems Of a conscious existence. May impede my progress But it does not decay The embedded righteousness Desired within my heart Nor the sacrifices of my living. For within every obstacle Is a reward. And to every problem There is a success. A rose remains a rose A fountain is still a fountain And life is still living. Nothing should be impossible For it is Thought That gives life to the mind. And A Living Faith Justifies itself By living today In tomorrows dreams. Think in your faith... Talk in your faith... See things in your faith... Listen in your faith... Learn in your faith... Walk in your faith... Live in your Faith. For nothing binds the mind But the embryo ed hindrance Of one's own pacified inhibitions. Which can expose itself Within your visions. It causes a canker that exhibits itself On display until you are consumed. But the Revelatory of all Revelations. Distinct fully inclines us To abundantly live life. Fear cannot live without shame And the deed of self denial. Kill it let it not coerce you For neither can it conquer you. Reject it for it will argue Denounce it and it will flee. Let it neither rape or deplete Deplore or comply... Confer or confront.... Neither let it Vulgate or converse...... With the intelligence of your soul. For you are this world's future You are A Living Faith... For the old and the young.... For the weak and the strong.... For the poor and the rich. For your tomorrow Is their brighter yesterday. The inferiority of achievement Has sometimes been induced By our own environments And even sometimes By our very own nature. But still it is A Living Faith that stands. So Live in the faith of how you think Live in the faith of how you talk Live in the faith of how you see Live in the faith of how you listen Live in the faith of what you learn Live in the faith of how you walk For you are A Living Faith.

Wonderment His essence so close to me, I feel it all through the day I can’t stop picturing us together, In a photo booth, The humor, the intensity, the wonderment. I can’t stop picturing our first kiss, The sensuality, the beauty, the grace. Together we’re walking, talking, Eating, laughing, and being. Together. Our personalities meld as one, And we understand one another. The sparks that fly when our eyes lock, The jolt that passes between our fingertips, I wouldn’t trade it for anything that mankind could provide. The love that flows between our hearts, It has no boundaries. The feelings that have no words. Unexplainable, The feeling of wholeness Of being complete. And as we walk together, Hand in hand, There would be no doubt in anyone’s mind that We are in love. I can see him standing there, Tall and proud, His face gleaming in the rain, So happy to see me. I can see myself walking up to him, Holding him, Kissing him, It’s the only, the only thing I wish to do, At this moment, I am wondering, What he would do, if he saw me there, Gleaming in the rain.

I wrote this poem for all of my new friends I meet on the internet, ©Tese Hall 2007 New friend A new friend is like two flowers sprouting beside one another, you stand silent and watch the other at first, only studying it's movements, and it's likes and dislikes, you watch as it sways in the wind, how it handles the storms, and if it dances in the warmth of the sun, then you brave introducing yourself to one another. In time you grow a mutual trust for one another helping one another grow, and flourish using love, laughter, and compassion as the soil, sunlight, and water feeding one another daily, In time you watch as your friendship blossoms into a unique and everlasting friendship known only to you both! You find it beautiful, graceful, and comfortable. Thank you for being a new friend, I look forward to growing with you, weathering the storms together and dancing with you in the sunlight! Hugs & Much Love always, Tese
