Desire

Boy, When all is said and done Like a mighty uncanny wind to by pass Let it not be ever a whistle thereof When in youth you sprout forth And be a determined shoot To avenge the wrath of retardation And in the light walk right Avenge boyish dreams And cast away the dilemma of hangovers The salted myths of the dozed off giants Or the imminent fear of extinct volcanoes Let the future afore be cast sane Or like a sea ashore Sands of time ashore to beckon And be a poor boy plays pebble plays Then avenge your avid desires And mould them into a dream to reckon A force that unrolls the planet a tune Zigzagged ways pulled right Akin to this Passion to grab a life of your own For in this there is no mountain!

Mugo M, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

Mysterious and full of metaphor. I like it, especially the line about "dozed off giants." The imagery startles, as it should, captures our interest. Welcome to Soup, Mugo. There are many links that you may find helpful, including the "New Links under Poems... "Poems -- New" where you can read the most recent poems posted on this site. Soup is a good place to share poetry. I encourage you to visit other poetry pages and read some of the other member's verses. I hope you enjoy your membership.
