Best P.L.S. Poems
For the rose without season is you
Light between stars shine through your soul
Ocean of kindness whispers your name
Joy resides in those beautiful eyes
Treasure trove,a friend to keep
Humbleness and Honesty your virtues
Open-hearted to all,expecting nothing in return
Mother and Wife who lives life for her beloveds
Admirable for verse,and much more for gentle deeds
Special is the best word which sincierely describes you.
Dedicated to Flo.J Thomas- a friend who supported so many soupers here on ps ,by reading our poetry,and encouraged so many by giving free memberships ,She even sent so many surprise gifts across the ocean,one of which has even reached my own land,and made me so happy.
Today Flo. is gone.Her account is closed,and Her beautiful words are now replaced by an empty page, on this site.This saddens me deeply. It saddens me anytime any souper gets hurt enough to leave.It hurts because poetry 's purpose is not to hurt people but to unite them.Us soupers here should be more careful how to use our words .Lets not let our tongues work faster than our hearts,nor our pretentious minds play the game better than our kindred souls.Someone have hurt Flo badly by stating mean remarks about Her,so I was told.I don't know who that someone is,because Flo was woman enough not to reveal names,but She was hurt,hurt enough to leave here, and close Her account.I can't watch more soupers leave due this nonesense.Pls lets all be more careful how to use our words.I am not pointing fingers at anyone in particular,I am saying this to myself as well.We all need to be more gentle and respectful .Situations like these are making friends considering leaving here for good, and each time one of us is gone, its a huge loss for our soup familyLet us all remember that once we utter a word we cannot take it back.It is ok for us to be different,have our distinct ideas, it is great to share them,but lets do everything with love.
To our dear Flo I say -'Please do return to poetrysoup and open a new account.I am sure you are greatly missed by many,sweet lady with an uplifting spirit.Thanks for being You.Pls Come Back '.
I will be the stars
The moon will be my mum
The sun will be my dad
The rain will be my brother
The wind will be my sister
The rainbows will be my friends
The rocks will be my cousins
The fountains will be my happy tears
The waterfalls will be a nickname
Of an edifice I carved for you
Among the rocks and
That I have chosen just for you
The fields will be my attires
The paper and the ink
will be my parcels for you
I tell my mum to rule the nights
Take away sorrows of darkness from you
Caress away your insomnia
And clothe you With her cares
That her night gleams your attires
And I will be the stars
I tell my dad to shine on you,
sunbeam your countenance,
away your damp with his warmth,
and smile always at your hustle
And I will tell my brother to feed you
With the heavenly springs
Flow on your droughts
Feed your greens
I will tell my sister to cool you
With her tender breeze
See that you are bathed
With her oxygen
I tell the rainbows
Of how you wrote me
Many poems of love
And how we smile together
As co stars
And I will tell The Fields
To weave you coat of many colours
red, green, yellow, blue,
violet, orange and indigo coloured
The rainbows will lend a helping hand
I will be the Stars
I will tell the Fields to plant
In your garden multiple colours of roses
They will add a sunflower also
I will tell them to fit in berries,
red, blue, multiple berries
And I will be the stars
Up above among heavenly
Bodies, I will shine as the firmament
Daniel chapter twelve holding three
And brighten your tomorrow
Shining your prayers to God Almighty Alone
First PLACE WIN
STRAND NO 800 ,any theme,any form FINALE

When a woman is just a woman
She's nobody's but her own
She embraces truth in life
with compassion in her soul
When a woman is just a woman
There's ambition on her mind
There is wisdom in her words
and foundations to be kind
When a woman is just a woman
there's a beauty in her eyes
and that beauty reflects journeys
travelled through her inner light
When a woman is just a woman
There' s a sweetness in her smile
There's the instinct of a mother
with protection for each child
When a woman is just a woman
She is humble, She is plain
She' s a friend, She's a great listener
Seeks adventure and not vain
When a woman is just a woman
She thinks firstly with her heart
She gives strength yet begs protection
She needs firm securing arms
When a woman is just a woman
There are secrets still concealed
There are alluring mysteries
Chapters signed yet unrevealed
When a woman is just a woman
There is attitude, there is class
She is sensual, She is daring
She ' s a treasure born to last
When a woman is just a woman
She shakes stardust in the blues
She 's a Lucille Ball and Nelson
She ' s the gift of rainbow hues.
P.S - ( Nelson mentioned above -for Nelson Mandela )
Pls find in pictures above women who inspired me ,and their quotes
Dedicated to all Women on poetrysoup : )
Inspired by Justin's contest : ' When a woman is just a woman '
but not for the contest
The glamour of her skin faded
like late-afternoon sunbeams
that settled on rose petals 'dust
But , not the light in her wide chatoyant eyes
That light was still glowing bright
Like a freshly washed white frock of an ingenue child
A child who knew, each flutter of a butterfly churning deep inside
was to be preserved for this ineffable day.
Today , the day She was to greet 'the one '
Down the valley , by the orchid tree
where minutes ticked seconds and time.
For so long , She waited for this moment
to turn and find him there , to look him in those eyes
Eyes circled with wrinkles of loss and laughter
of many deaths and life.
His demure maiden . The cynosure who filled his thoughts
without even knowing how or why , For weeks, months, and years
Was She there by his side ,or was this another betraying vision
of the lissome lady's smile ?
It was her voice . It was the mellifluous sound of her song
lulling him into sleep.This was not Endymion's dream
Nor an unheard wish on spumes of falling stars.
This was the warmth of his breath upon her neck's nape
It was their once so vacant hearts , beating one to one.
It was their holding of hands, their first promised dance.
A panacea to a long term desease of loss , and loss again.
A new chapter -to be continued.
A sempiternal journey of what little time remains.
Trembling hands ,Scribbling verses on hopskotch
Alll ending with the same repeated names
and unforgettable joyous refrains.
Thanks for the ten words challenge S.One
1) Glamour , 2) Chatoyant, 3) Igenue , 4) ineffable , 5) demure
6) Sempiternal , 7) panacea, 8) mellifluous, 9 )lissome , 10) cynosure

Fiction Poem
In times of need..
Doctors heal our bodies and the good Lord ease our worries,
Never under-estimate this blessing, and its faith.
Yet, do not forget to praise a friend who lends a hand
Cherish every single one, because a true and loyal friend
will walk your journey till the end.
Pls dear friends would you kindly say a short prayer for a friend who is to be operated soon,many thanks.
Move me into the light
Pull me away from these ghosts
Fill me with something I can feel
Awaken every inch of me with your touch
It's like waking from a nightmare
Your hands keep me burning inside
Longing for more
Your mouth electrifies me
Needing you deeper and deeper
Pushing,pulling,screaming,awakening to something primal
Everything fades as you sink your teeth into my skin
Nothing left but desire
Move in me
Harder and harder
Until everything explodes
And all that is left is peace
In the fire that surrounds us
An escape to a place I can lose myself
If only for a moment that feels like eternity
Tasting you
Touching you
Feeling you as I come undone
Unhinged from this world
The deeper you go
The harder you move
The more you shake me to my core
A pls only you can find
I long to be your slave
In this world of Uncertainties
I’m the man that you can trust
And in my words of sincerity
That my love would never last.
And if you could only feel, what i feel for you
You can ask me “why?” so you can see the truth
Like our love that tightens the rope,
Like a light that would give us hope.
As you watch the dark skies
Let me grab the moon for you,
And as I catch the bright stars
That’s the way you can see me through
As this planet turns as it always will
And things go wrong and you don’t know what to feel
Hold my hand for it will make us strong
Like a wind, we will carry on
The wind blow that sings a hymn for you
For they know what does love means for the two
Love is blind, and not deaf
So how’s success if you’re not ready to bet?
In this poem with full of rhymes,
A full of love, Babe can you be mine?
I don’t expect too much from you
Why should I? If you complete my whole.
“Till death do us part” that’s what they have said
But why do struggles crash them ahead?
Don’t ask me when my love will last,
To count all of our quarrels, is that a must?
Now and Forever is all that I promise
No day dreaming and without reminiscence
As the matter of time, as the time passes by
Together we stand, together you and I

Hi see yah around
cherry blossoms drift
upon the wooden casket
life after life
In memory of our dear souper friend Lucilla Carillo,and my husband's cousin
David Chircop who finished this journey ,to start a better one.
May your fragrance of love bloom in the highest of skies as it did on earth.
'Pls remember them,and their loved ones in prayer'.
"Daddy" the way I call my father
The man who loves my mother
The man who gave life to me
And the man who will risks his life to protect his family.
He's not showy about his feelings
But I know he loves us unconditionally
He gets angry when his siblings were hurt
And he makes us laugh the way he dances and tells us jokes
Now..he left us already
His silly jokes,crazy dance moves now were gone
Coz he went to a far away land
In a place where hurt and sorrow has no place in man
I miss my daddy a lot
His voice,
His jokes,
His crazy dance moves
And his being father to us
I miss everything about him!
I know God has a plan
And I give everything into His merciful hand
Pls.take care ofmy daddy in heaven
Coz someday we'll see him again
And continue the sing and dance with him again...
You stripped away my self worth,
layer by layer until it was gone,
I never understood why you hated me,
or what I did so wrong.
I listened as you put me down,
and made me feel like dirt,
bringing me to tears each time,
nothing but pain and hurt.
You constantly accused me,
that I was eyeing every man,
as you dealt yet another punishment,
with a belt in your hand.
repeated hits across my body,
a smack! right in the face,
screaming, crying, yet no one hears,
"you must be put in your place."
I'd wear long sleeves to hide the marks,
makeup to hide the black and blue,
I hid from my friends and family,
all the hell you put me through.
I wish it stopped at that,
but you would drag me to the room,
tearing clothes from my body,
yelling, "don't you dare move."
I can feel my heart racing,
pounding in fear,
praying that it would stop,
under silent tears.
The room got completely silent,
then a fumble around the bed,
opened my eyes just to find,
a gun to my head.
"You disrespect over and over again,
I'm tired of your lies,
this world will be a better place,
right after you die."
I continued to pray ,
my mind and body froze,
"you don't have to do this,
just please let me go."
I heard you cock your gun,
even harder I prayed,
"Dear Heavenly Father,
is today going to be my day?"
"pls God, I don't have much time,
please answer my call......"
"Not today my child,
Not at all."
The gun never fired,
I was able to get away,
I truly believe there was an angel,
holding my hand that day.
Behind closed doors,
was a monster never seen,
over time the pain healed,
but the scars will never leave.
Ladies don't tolerate an abusive man,
don't put up with the hurt,
there is a man out there,
who will treat you for all that you are worth.
death of a forest
blatant rape of sacred land
the green olympics!
--------------------------------
A forest in S. Korea, consisting of 500 year old wangsasre trees,
is being cut down to make way for Olympic ski facilities that will
be used for a four day competition in 2018.
The IOC has mandated these games as the “Green Olympics”!!
Pls, you may join the campaign to save this forest by signing on:

I close my eyes
So I can not see
I close my ears
So I can not hear
I shut my mouth
So I can not speak
I pinch my nose
So I can not smell
The awful fragrance
This government tries to emit
I peel my skin
So I can not feel
Thyself falling away
Thyself torn apart
We were supposed to head onwards
But how?
If we're looking backwards
But not forward
They said they didn't like dictatorship
But why?Why is it that we don't have freedom
The freedom to speak
The freedom to tell who you are
The freedom to tell what you are
You are all arrogant bastards
You of who speak democracy
Brought tyranny to us
You who opposed martial law
Brought it back
Is this really the way?
The way you wanted to lead us
The "tuwid na daan" you were talking about
Maybe you are just dumbfounded
Or maybe you are just dumb?
I rate you
2 out of 10
At least you got 2
Not 1
Pls do comment.
Pls...

With this fear I'm a slave
Just like digging my own grave
Stitch stitch
Hush hush
Spiders in your bed
Stitch stitch
Hush hush
Spiders in your head
Spinning up
Spinning down
Climbs in your hair
Gives you a stare
Stitch stitch
Hush hush
Spiders in your bed
Stitch stitch
Hush hush
Spiders in your head
Tiny legs walking
In your skin crawling
Making wounds wider
Nothing can hinder
Just like a dead flower
Making me wither
Stitch stitch
Hush hush
Spiders in your bed
Stitch stitch
Hush hush
Spiders in your head
Takes a bite
Just a slight
Poisonous fangs
This sad song I sang
My view gets hazy
Making me go crazy
And as I bleed
My words do heed
Stitch stitch
Hush hush
Spiders in your bed
Stitch stitch
Hush hush
Spiders in your head

At brink of solace
Out in the open space
Where Judas died
It's where I'd hide
The crickets chirping
And the wind is whistling.
People have been dying
The lords are laughing
This is life's agony
This place of tyranny
A world of sorrow
People without good tomorrow.
Oh Judas
Where art thou?
Has been out heard
Has been outspoken
Has been loved
Has been broken
To my sorrowful country
I'd give myself, I'd bury
For dead is Judas
Not a boy but a lass
A case filled with lies
Brought you to your demise.
Their faces with a grin
Without realizing their sin
I'd sure miss you
Even the others won't do
I'll sure miss you saying "hi"
I'd bury myself and so here I lie.
Pls. do leave a comment after reading...
thanks :3
