Though hatred rages against this noble heart
With its deadly griping piercing claws
Yet will I stand to face the green-eyed beast
Standing against such infinite odds
...
There stands a tree! That dogged tree
that clings ever firmly by the raging sea
...
The price to be gentle is sometimes steep
And at times it even make you weep
...
The Pythagoras' Theorem
by godfrey morris
Pythagoras! Pythagoras!
...
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.

Nature Paints
Nature paints the sky in blue,
Then adds the fluffy spots of white
...
I am a poet
silently hidden in life's closet
with half-measured expressions
seeking to be made whole
...
Promise of a new day
My faith is weathering like the corps of a rusty iron
I think my extremity has been reached
...
Come on time, be quick
quench this unfavorable fog
and restore tranquil bliss kindly
Come on time flow like the wind
...
The road to heaven is laden with a trail of tears
A patchy path of peaks and troughs pattered by dust
...
My name is Godfrey George Morris. I am a teacher by profession. I love to explore my world with verse, to make my imaginable expressions, brought to life. This I try to do by breathing life into words and live vicariously through them. It is my ambition to become an authentic poet. I am most influenced by the works of William Shakespeare, who was such a genius. I Also like the works of Claude Mckay, Robert Frost, Langston Hughs and many other great poets and writers. I wish to be half as good as them one day, and so my journey as a writer begins. I thank poemhuter for such a forum to express my thoughts and the world through my writings. I also thank you my dear viewers, my friends your support and critiques are very welcomed here. I only hope to meet your great expectations. Godfrey speaks truth of world's daily loss dreaming desires hidden in souls freed from the depths of sighs rendered from the heart of minds eluded dreams of pure mankind yearning for a thought for share seeking most soothing ears promoting a verse to bear earning grace's golden tear at a lonesome heavy price keeping life's true rejoice surely now I speak twitter @ yerf29)
Seek And Find
Life hides secrets to find
Seek its truths and be refined
Life's safari reveals a map
an eluded path, go fill the gap
To survive the curse of old Adam's sin
follow truth, and be cleansed a thousand times within
thus to it do trust
In safe-guard winds in it do thrust
Search for this peace and be at ease
never let rest until life cease
Seek life's truth and you will find
a glorious ever state of mind

Dear poem pal, thanks 4 d inspiring comment on my poems. ur poems are timely, attached wit events around us.
love is the most powerful weapon we have but will we ever us it
Time is one of life most Precious commodity. One that is needed to Find the true self
We must not live only for Ourselves For while we live Others die for us To live
We don't live in a perfect world But we can strive to claim Our own perfection.
Criticism is easier made Than solutions.
You will never know the limits of possibilities until you have exceeded them.
The world is a fantasy A perfect illusion That keeps getting older
