Premium Member Poetry Consumes

poetry consumes
poetry site addictive...
divorce is mentioned  

This is just a work ...
Poetry Soup can become addictive
and could lead to an unhappy home
if one doesn't put it in a time slot..
My husband does show jealousy at
times about my writing and time 
spent on the computer..Sara

Time Consumes Life

Just one more time, 
just one more breath,
 just one more moment to remember the past, 
lull in thy memories, 
breathe in thy essence, 
to look upon thy face,
 to know you still care,
 to know what we had was special, 
to be preserved in preferred memories. 

Where I am going I know naught.
 Floating as if in limpid water currents, 
languor reaching but finding not,
 solitary enraged soul longing for one more kiss, 
one kiss whence naught. 
Malformed monsters feast 
upon the vermin ravishing mine soul, 
my tender heart loathing sunset’s rays enfold, 
nighttime beseech me, broken heart unfold. 
Another night shine through tears, 
summoned by memories a hundredfold,
 putrid time consumes life; 
Cruel Life Sleeps.

Premium Member Your Hate Consumes You

your hate consumes you
and God sees that too...
"If you hate your brother [sister]
you have already committed murder 
in your heart."

Oh...but that one doesn't fit you, you think
"victimized"
pray for open eyes
spreading lies
is murder in another guise

I sigh
because you are so way off the mark
out in the dark
you think you know it all
In the end
He'll make that call...

The only one who is sinless
Is Jesus, you see
only...only He
and if He condemns,
Then so let it be 

Other than He...no one can point a finger at me...

So, put away your misguided hate
before it's too late
before it eats your soul
and you lose all control

Ask to be set free
His reward is sure
He'll lift you high
you'll touch the sky

Instead of being chained...
We are all in need of grace
that's YOU...and that's ME

Tainted Words, An Illness That Consumes



Thoughts of dying inside
So much pain I hide 
No other options in sight
Nothing can stop me
No longer will I pour my heart into the abyss 
It come's now, the darkness 
Suffocating the air so thick with deception
Walls creeping closer, encompassing fear
Blinding screams ring through my head
As mercy abandons me
Concealed between the pages
Line after line 
Word after word
Losing faith
A piece of the whole that will always divide
Seeping through my broken soul
The silence of demise takes over
Inside cries of surreal pain claw my flesh 
Tearing a once tender heart
Drowning in my own bitter tears
Dragging chains of broken dreams behind me
Sour love songs
Blah, there he said, she said ****
Like an illness that consumes 
The ticking of the clock, running out of time 
Tainted is the grail of hope
Now filth runs from its rim 
Its poison bitter sweet as it passes my lips
Bringing with it the promise of eternal nightmares
Never waking, forever dreaming, forever screaming
All the while knowing the darkness is killing me softly...

Don'T Judge, Karma Consumes You

Don't Judge, KARMA 
CONSUMeS YOU!!!

God has no religion, don't judge 
the book, it's not he, who 
judges, nor should you... 

SoTo Those who are blind, open 
the pages of your heart called 
soul, and release itself 
conscience, to bare his
Fruit...

For Thee tree of life surrounds 
you with great intro log, wise 
up, the challenge is yours, so 
don't judge me, unless, your 
ready for the ride, Where 
KARMA CONSUMeS YOU!!!

Passion and Love & Love Consumes All

Samson so loved Delilah
He ended up grinding grain.
Anthony so loved Cleopatra
He lost all and was slain.

David so loved Bathsheba
He drifted from God’s command.
The way I feel makes it easy
To imagine and understand.

You‘re the inspiration of my day
And the delight of my night.
The joy we share as we conceive
Makes everything feel just right.

Thank heaven for passion and love
Blessings from God to man.
Without them we’re mere creatures
Subsisting like ants in the sand.



LOVE  CONSUMES ALL


Love consumes all physical functions
Hearing, taste, touch, thought and smell.
It can heal, destroy, weaken or bond
Those caught in its presence and spell.

May I be remembered by tears of love
When my hands lay across my chest.
Displayed for view to say goodbye
To my family, friends, and the rest.

Until it’s time for my final farewell
I will serve whom I love even more.
These words of passion inhabit my heart
Conveying my need for all, I adore.

Summer Consumes Me

Summer Consumes Me

Summer your salty ocean breeze brings 
the call of the wild out of me,
I hear the thunderous lion's roar and 
swishing and screeching of the red butt monkeys 
in the trees full of green leaves,
I hear the chorus of the chirping, 
tweeting, cawing of the fastidious 
bird's mating calls.

The swirling scent of the hot sun beaming 
off my concrete jungle brings my mind 
to a hazy state of mind,
as your lazy days unwind.

I smell the sweet lingering smell of 
tropical coconut oil and chlorine
in the seat of my beach towel 
covered leather seats,
as the beach boys croon to me
of California surfing days and
bikini clad girls.

The pungent, unpleasant smell of the 
doggy doo that relentlessly clings to 
my strappy sandal as I scrape it
against the rough asphalt of the
pool's parking lot.

The sweet tangy smell of barbecue 
grilling on a charcoal grill
 and the sounds of sizzle
coming from my 
neighbor's backyard.

The crisp smell of green hot money
that a freshly folded 
burning a hole in my pocket,
"saying spend me
go ahead just spend me!"

The aromatic smell of ripe red cherries 
and succulent sweet watermelon swells 
through the summer air and fuses with the 
smell of the neighbor's fresh cut summer grass,
as the buzz and hum of his lawn mower wakes me up
too early in the morning.

The mixture of aromas from the gyros, corn dogs and cotton candy
as food vendors obnoxiously pitch their mouth watering temptations
from the crowded venue of our movies and concerts on the bricks
at centennial olympic park.

The sounds of my heart slowly drifting away 
to breezy memories of steamy love from 
summers of yesterday.

I smell the musty lust that pours from my head 
as the power of summer consumes me.

Premium Member Life Consumes Death

It can be animate or it can be inanimate "Life" will consume death!Do you have bad health? Some kind of living form can cause death! Life consumes death!

"The evil man and women died and were transformed to a new life where hatred,anxiety,suffering goes on all day ,and all night,and nothing is ever right in the "Hell" that they created for themselves in their evil "Life"!The transformation is what is "Left" after "Life" transforms "Death"! What is left is either good or evil!!! "Good Spirit" or "Evil Spirit"!!!Happiness maker,or Evil Maker!!! Life consumes death,and when we look upon death it looks like a mess,but it is good to know and realize that "The Best is yet to come"even if they drop another "Atomic Bomb"!!!!

Love Consumes

/Oh! dear girlie,
I collected the letter you threw away,
You called me a nut,
You called me insane,
I came after you and you rejected me,
You raised your eye-brows,
Later you consented after much delay,
You intransigence did not deter me,
I accepted you wholeheartedly,
You later decided to jilt me,
In preference to a stranger;
You threw me out like garbage,
My loving mind is paining,
Do you think that my love for you,
Is mere pretense?
My dream garden is withering away,
Like a flower plant left without water,
My only option is to bid you farewell,
And wither away!!?/.

Music Consumes the Soul

Play for me a simple melody,
A half completed rhapsody,
or a fully composed symphony,
because every word you ever spoke, 
was delicately worded like a musical note, 
so say goodbye one last time and watch at the blues consume me,
oh as the blues consume me.

How Thee Poetry Consumes Thy

There is a Heart, I have to admit, I
have to tune it up a bit some-times
Sitting on the grass, a-sway, listening
through ones ear's the delightful . . .
The more I wait, the longer I do not show,
the love inside my Heart so.
I give merit to,
Those in my heart,
How they got there I do not know,
But I love, Love them
So, so much with my acking heart,
It hurt's to let them go,
That's why we hug, or shake hands,
Blow a kiss, wave, smile glad,
Break a cookie in two, Wish them the very best.

That Prewinter Feeling Consumes Me

stars in the sky in late fall blind me to happiness
that prewinter feeling consumes me and i reminisce till rehabilitated
i forget about everything and think about periods that simple sentences forgot
i then remember that God has answered more of my prayers than He didn't,
and thankfulness occurs as a direct result
i break out the dreamsicle melodies in my mind and stuff my problems and my troubles somewhere where a toybox was designed
images of rare southern white winters make my flesh tingle and uplifts my personal yearnings
alas!  i am ready for the HolyDay Season
welcome, dear moon, please proceed to illuminate the missing pieces
solve once again the mystery of the puzzled puzzles and reveal the actual intended discovery
peace on earth is a crescent roll away for me
some may choose to continually disagree
however and nevertheless it is God's Vision i do see
melted butter pride is the way of my New Walk, and it leaves me feeling mighty free....

The Fire That Consumes

The last time that I saw you
You were headed for the dark
Fighting off the sunrise
Dying for a deadly spark

Tinder wet with teardrops
You were aching but to burn
Frost upon the window pane
That wants to quench its thirst

The last time that I saw you
You were near to the abyss
Wanting but to see your soul
The way it truly is

A desperate search to find yourself
A hopeless hope to be
You wanted to dissolve yourself
Into an empty sea

But don't you know, you doubter
That despair only destroys
Oh don't you know, within you
Underneath all of this noise

There is a seed so hollow
That bears fruit of self unseen
For this you search, oh doubter
In this, all your wandering

Will find its end
For there lies truth
Within one bitter taste of fruit
Within the self-destruction
That impossible induction
That you are
Only this
And nothing more

Your own

    Darkness

Anger Consumes

Labels and judgments, oh so crude,
A fire in my belly begins to brood,
You scream and curse, no filter in sight,
Your anger consumes you, day and night.

Your words ignite like flames uncontrolled,
A wildfire spreading, leaving hearts so cold,
You see only darkness, no light to behold,
Your rage is a beast, untamed and bold.

But listen closely, if only you would,
Treat others kindly, if only you could,
We're all messed up, that much is true,
But we can learn, to love and to value
