Best Ouching Poems
P oetry Soup is like a Poetry Palace to me
O rnamented with poems and poets with CREATIVITY,
E veryone bringing INFUSION of literary beauty to it
T ouching the poetic hearts of other poets
R esulting in the INEVITABLE addiction to the soup
Y oung to old everybody thus getting attracted.
P oetry Soup is a sacred place like a temple,church or mosque
A nd nobody should have any ILLUSION about it,
L et us all try together and make it a haven
A haven for all those who loves poetry by heart
C aring to make the palace even beautiful.
E VENTUALLY the palace will be there but not we.

Autumn colors of gold and orange
Uninhibited by the emerald charms
Touching hearts with amazing ease
Uniting minds who long to please
Miracles floating through the sky
Nurturing feelings that simply pass by
Viewing the crucifixion scene capturing my soul
I'm glued to the vital character bearing the painting's essence
Staring at His image, my mind is gripped with Scripture verses
Unraveling momentous event in history - spiritual and miraculous
Asserting biblical Christianity's glorious message
Lauding compassion's omnipotence wrought by the Almighty Father.
Overwhelmed with gratefulness, I'm moved to worship...
Facing the beauty of the Lamb of God, I exclaim:
Crucified slaughtered Saviour, Jesus Christ the Lord
Redeemer and Deliverer, He vanquished death’s sting.
Unwavering in His sacrifice, offering Himself willingly
Calvary’s Hill He surmounted toward eternal victory’s height.
Infinite pardon He declared along “Father, forgive them” plea
Freeing hell-bound sinners from iniquities’ wages.
Immutable truth obscurity cannot hide
Expressing “I am the way, the truth, and the Life”
Dearly He paid the price to ransom me from condemnation’s verdict.
Seeing my Saviour in His suffering state, yet triumphant stature
Awakens my spiritual fervor, anchored by His love...
Vouching me verily, renewing my vow to live for Him.
Imparted with His divine nature, I’m illumined...
Overtaken by service-opportunities from selfishness’ grip
Upheld to exercise my faith midst strengthened heart
Revived to testify “I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live…”
Today, I put my faith in You, dear Jesus Christ. You died, were buried and resurrected to give me everlasting salvation. I trust and believe that only YOU can give me eternal life. Forgive me for my sins. Thanks so much for your love, and for assuring me heaven.
*Matthew 27:33-50; Mark 15:33-39; Luke 23:33-47; John 19:17-37.
**Galatians 2:20 “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.”

7th place, "Final Call Of NAs Your Most Meaningful One" Poetry Writing Contest; Sponsored by Chantelle Ann Cooke; judged on 10/8/2020.
Touching the keys
Yawning as the hours went by
Perfect lining on the sheet
Elefants, butterflies and other things written on the paper
Working most of the time
Read the finished piece only to find a missing word
Inicials at the bottom
Top of the page has the date
Talented typing fills the air
Endless beauty is here
R estless words on the sheet they go
H ow many amongst us thrive on compassion
U nderstanding the plight of neglected brethren?
M others oppressed, children abused, while most
A ccept this dire reality as a part of life's equation:
N umb are we, harsh as modern conduct...
I nstead, let's care for others, ease their pain
T ouching lovingly oh souls lashed by barbs of night:
Y ou and I can share this grace... an act, humane.

John hamilton's Humanity-Acrostic Contest
Starlight
S ee it winking
T winkling, dazzling
A ura filling the sky
R ays and beams shining
L ighting all the heavens
I nferno of gases and flames
G iving birth to new life
H eating us with your silvery light
T ouching our hearts with your mysteries
Favoured poems allow me to feel blessed, letting me rejoice
Announcing soul’s gratefulness midst apathetic noise
Vouching expression anchored upon faith’s poise
Optimizing reflective times, despite doubt ploys
Resonating human nature's bests and decoys
Expressing earnestness of heart’s voice...
Declaring my need for the Lord's hoist.
Poems I delight in reverberate with life joys
Offering inspiration against hypocrisy that annoys
Exuding truth in varied forms along writers’ prudent choice
Making me praise* God for poets and their great style-alloys...
Shaping my poetry, enhanced by what my learning pen employs.
*Psalm 44:8 In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever.

2nd place, "FAVE" Poetry Contest
Sponsored by Line Gauthier; judged on 12/15/2019.
Beguiling, appealing... building
Ripe for nibbling, sucking... controlling
Each breath, gasp... ordering inner core
Answer, body obeying... heat climbing from
Tormenting, teasing... bringing to unbearable
Heights... anticipating the low whimper
Touching moistness... watching eyes that
Ask, beg, command more... moaning lips
Kiss, hardness seeking... sliding
Incites, stretching, throbbing... intense rhythm
Nothing held back, giving... breathlessly
Giving, releasing all... to each other

Crucified Saviour, Jesus Christ, my soul’s delight
Redeemer, He vanquished death’s sting might.
Unwavering in His sacrifice, offering Himself willingly
Calvary’s Hill He surmounted powerfully.
Infinite pardon He granted with forgiveness-joy charges
Freeing me, hell-bound sinner from iniquities’ wages
Immutable truth obscurity cannot against reality-surges.
Expressing “I am the way, the truth, and the Life” edict
Dearly He paid for my ransom from condemnation’s verdict.
Seeing my Saviour in His suffering state, yet triumphant stature
Awakens my spiritual fervor, anchored by His love’s gesture.
Vouching me verily, renewing my vow to live for Him, my Lord
Imparted with His divine nature, I’m instructed by His Word.
Overtaken by service-opportunities from selfishness
Upheld to exercise my faith by His compassionate kindness
Revived to testify “I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live…”*
*Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

K iss of his lover still lingering in his lips,
A s the setting sun's ray kisses his face
S omething melancholy creeps in his mind;
H e is a warrior waiting for another battle.
I n case this is the last battle he would fight
N ever again will he return to his lover
A nd hold her in his strong arms tenderly
T ouching,caresssing her terracotta face,
H e thus kisses his flute, sending a sorrowful melody.

**Written for Constance's contest"Tell his story" but missed the deadline
by few minutes .
Delighted under your light,
Amazing to see you shining
Yes, I am grateful to see the
Stars, the souls of our lost ones
Touching us with tenderness~
Above, where we all will bright
Replete with the searched love
Touching my face.
Ordering champagne.
You slide off your vow from your finger.
E-very eighteenth January morn
S-hadows of the night fade;
P-reparing to let the sun
E-nlighten the world God made.
R-oad ahead is bright crimson
A-s the future is promising;
N-ew dawn will shine zealously,
A-fter the break of morning.
H-appy birthday to you
I-s all I want to convey;
P-ure delight is all I wish for
O-n this memorable day.
L-et the Lord turn your worried mind
I-nto an optimistic thinking;
T-ouching your heart and soul,
O-rdinary ode here is what I'm offering.
