Lyric
Poem
Every now and then
Every now and then
I come to you
a climbing jasmine
through the window
of your heart
a perfumed smile
beneath your sheets
a sweet scent
in waking thoughts
an empty porch
of swinging dreams
Every now an then
I come to you
a hush-hushed whisper
on a restless night
a drop of sunshine
on winter lips
a tender touch
upon bare shoulder
a yearning moment
in ardent kiss
Every now and then
I come to you
a melting snowflake
upon your lash
a silent breeze
tickling your cheek
soft gentle wind
behind your ear
a vivid memory
a vision gone
a lingered breath
which once was here

Lyric
Poem
WHEN I STOP AND PRAY
When the storm clouds boil around me,
And the lightning splits the sky--.
When the howling wind assails me,
And life's sea is rolling high--
When my heart is filled with terror,
And my fears, I can't allay--
Then I find sweet peace and comfort,
When I simply stop and pray.
When the things of life confound me,
And my faith is ebbing low--
When my trusted friends betray me,
And my heart is aching so--
When the night seems black and endless,
And I long for light of day--
Then I find a silver dawning,
When I simply stop and pray.
There are things beyond the heavens
I can't begin to understand,
But I know that God is living,
And I know He holds my hand.
Yes, I know He watches o'er me
All the night and all the day--
And He's always there to hear me
When I simply stop and pray.

Poem
Who Is the poet ? (Dedicated to great poets, friends and my P.S family)
The Poet is the language,the mystery of Monalisa's smile,
the brush of Caravaggio and the finest painting of Vangogh.
The Poet is the sonnet of Mozart and the symphony of Bach,
the tragedy of Shakespeare and the saddest verse of Pablo Neruda.
The Poet is the Blue Danube in waltz and The Swan lake in ballet.
The Poet is the renaissance of passion and the remnant of life,
the dilemma of morality,the shadow of deed,and the ombra of sin.
The Poet is the fantasy of each sunrise,and the illusion of every sunset,
the wave in tide of wishes,carried in a bottle,printed in honey beige sands.
The Poet is the believer,the dream lover in a hot passionate crazy affair,
the magician who creates fables and fairytales out of dead realities.
The Poet is the worker who works till late,to survive,to cope,in this expensive,
sophisticated,stigmatic world.The Poet is the thief of time,His eyes fluttering,
still holding the pen,thinking in verse,writing a bacchus of fragranted words.
The Poet is the Omnipotent humble servant, with a will to ask,a crave to learn.
The Poet is a philosopher,who's always an amateur in the pursuit of wisdom.
The Poet is an eternal slave of the muse,and the beverage of inspiration.
The Poet is the artist,the musician,the actor,the story teller of destined paths.
The poet is the man married to literature,the adulterer of lyric and prose.
The Poet knows no lapsus in all that is scandalous,royalty or sacred.
The Poet is the mold of cheap clay carved in the great sculpture of the next century,
The Poet is the Unfinished book,the chapter of yesterday,the Nobody of today,
and the rememberance of tomorrow.The Poet is the Red Rose Petal book mark.
THE POET IS YOU !!!
This poem is goes to the following talented poets,friends below,who
in this past year used their thought to dedicate a verse for me..
I want to show them my appreciation and care....
They go in alphabetical order,Hope I won't forget anyone.

Lyric
Poem
Sing Solitude-Play Soltude-Confetti's Song
Hidden away
between the broken chimes
of church bells
lies the dream of a man
the waltz of a butterfly
and love for one woman
He carves her name from a star
on a pebble~
burying it deep
where corals sleep
Across the moon
wishes concieve
from moist salt on his cheek
in the womb of an ocean
ocean so deep,ocean so dark
dark as the night in his soul
Hidden away
between the broken chimes
of church bells
lies the dream of a woman
the soft breeze of a petal
and love for one man
She paints his smile from a rainbow
holding it high ~
where sunsets splash
in the sky
Across the moon
wishes concieve
in the womb of a desert
desert so steep,desert so dry
dry as each crack on her lips
Hidden away
between the melidious chime
of church bells
lives the love of a man
lives the love of a woman
where oceans meet
where deserts greet
where stars collide
where dewdrops fall
Lashes caress
the dream in their eyes
Play Solitude...Sing...

Poem
It Is Springtime In Heaven
It is now springtime in heaven
Sky is so blue...sun shining so bright
Beautiful flowers are everywhere
Angels are dancing...as the harps play
Here on earth...we scamper around
Sky is so blue...sun shining so bright
Beautiful flowers are everywhere
We are missing the angels in heaven
Angels are dancing...as the harps play
They await the day...as we do also
As once again we will all be together
Our mothers and us...in heaven above
Dedicated to: Our Mothers in Heaven
and her children who will be missing her
this weekend on Mother's Day
To all of you who still have your mother here
on earth with you make sure she knows how
much you love her.

Poem
Mother and Child
And She said
Yesterday I lived for thoughts and dreams
But today I live in my daughter's happiness
All my goals I left behind to watch her reach her own
All my friends I do not see to stay with her at home
Money might get tight, but what is money
compared to the pure joy of a child
What is money compared to the warmth
I find in her large hazel eyes
Success lies dormant on shelves for years to come
But what is success compared to first giggles
compared to first steps,compared to first mouthfuls
and her little grabs, Compared to gurgles and babbles
compared to the first time she calls me mama
compared to moments she holds on to my hands
What is beauty 'n the world compared to a pearl
this beautiful child,this coloured coral petite pretty girl
And she said
Yesterday I lived for thoughts and dreams
But today I live in my daughter's happiness
I had my days of wine and chocolate eclaires
Roses on the doorstep,unsigned love letters
with spiced scent of cologne and romantic words
Today I live in my daughter's shadow
to watch her live her own thought and dream
I watch her bloom in Autumn gardens
from Princess of hearts becomes queen
Tomorrow i might not be here
and maybe she would never get to see
the white of my hair and wrinkle in my smile
but today she knows I would love her forever
long more after i die

Lyric
Poem
Belly Dancer
I walked in and found a chair,
And sat down and saw you there;
The light was shining, the light was low,
The candle flickered soft and slow.
The lonely music filled the night,
I felt right then my heart take flight;
The voice that taunts behind the veil,
Haunting echoes that sob and wail.
Hips that glide with slow gyrations,
Arms that weave with undulations;
Languid eyes touched with kohl,
Whisper words to flame the soul.
The sounds of that persistent beat,
Soothe the brow with passion's heat;
Lost in the scene that ignites my eye,
Heats my skin and makes me cry.
You move thro night and cast your spell,
And thoughts I think I'll never tell.
Let's pretend there'll be no end,
For you are more to me than friend;
I want to take you in my arms,
And feel the warmth that never harms;
I play on the strings of love's romance,
As you swing and sway in a belly dance

Sleeping With The Enemy
SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY
See what you want to see.
Don't Look at me!
You are staring you are watching;
At what you can't be..
Come sleep by my side.
The whole world is our playground..
Don't make a sound..
Stop clowning around
In the mist of the night,
you keep me from crying
I wipe off the taste of your lips.
You kiss me starting at my inner hips.
Your broke me in a way..
I hate to say your love is good every day
I deny you, the one thing I can't say.
You are my pillow..
Where I rest my legs at night,
Can you feel me~
This moment feels right
I just want to die here,
Die here ~
Die here by your side..
I sleep with my eyes wide open,
I sleep with my enemy by my side
Come here and hold me..
After you watched my world collide..
Come here and love me..
I'm yours till the end of time...
You can rock me!
Under the moon and its rhyme..
I put it all to a side, how I hate you inside.
I can't let go,,
I just want you to know ,
I'm a fool in love with you..
Even if it don't show!
~ SKAT~

Lyric
Poem
Asylum Bound
I'm not really sure how to explain
This strange feeling with my feeble brain-
It's driving me a new kind of insane.
If I believed in love, then in love I would be.
This bitter, cold heart is set ablaze inside me
Just hearing your name- I melt at the sound.
Without you my dear, I'd be asylum bound.
I'm not really sure how to explain
This madness taking over my brain-
It's driving me a new kind of insane.
Well, I'm not quite sure I can complain
About the thoughts of you that consume my brain-
They're driving me a good kind of insane.
If I believed in love, then in love I would be.
This bitter, cold heart is set ablaze inside me
Just hearing your name- I melt at the sound.
Without you my dear, I'd be asylum bound.
If I believed in love, then in love we would be.
You set this bitter, cold heart ablaze inside me.
I only feel sane when you come around-
Without you my dear, I'll be asylum bound.
No, I'm not quite sure how to explain
This strange new feeling with my feeble brain-
But my dear, you drive me perfectly insane.
By Anne Currin

Poem
Thank You For This Bounty, God
Thank you for this bounty, God
that you give to me
for grain that grows within the field
and fruit upon the tree
Thank you for the little seeds
that in the spring are sown
and with your gifts of sun and rain
have through the summer grown
Thank you for the farmers, Lord
and bless them for their toil
as now they gather in the fall
this bounty from your soil
This was inspired by Brian Strands' Harvest Hymn Contest, which I unfortunately missed
but I wanted to share it with you today and dedicate it to Brian for the inspiration and
support he gives to us here at the Soup. RG
