Pele, Goddess of Fire

First fire surges from the inner Earth.
Island waters greet the fire goddess
Risen from Earth's fiery core, her birth,
Endows with lava, land from her first kiss.

Exploding from a volcanic shower
Earth spews fire as Pele emerges...
Her hair glows golden in the twilight hour,
Streaming slowly as her passion surges.

Gracefully she moves and quietly creeps
On her burning path toward silver sea.
Wanting all things that she covers, she keeps.
Pele's steamy kisses saved for the sea.

Sorrow's shadowed Pele for timeless years.
Sadness is seen in her ebony tears.

*Pele's hair is a form of lava. It is named after Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of volcanoes. It can be defined as volcanic glass fibers or thin strands of volcanic glass (Shimozuru, 1994). The strands are formed through the stretching of molten basaltic glass from lava, usually from lava fountains, lava cascades, and vigorous lava flows.

*Pele's tears
Pele’s tears is a geological term for small pieces of solidified lava drops formed when airborne particles of molten material fuse into tearlike drops of volcanic glass. Pele’s tears are jet black in color and are often found on one end of a strand of Pele's hair. Pele's tears is primarily a scientific term used by volcanologists.

Premium Member Ode To Goddess Pele-N

Strophe

Ye, the goddess of flame, fire and eternal love
From Tahiti you found home  in Hawaii Kilauea
I accessed your gateway with deep feelings of love
With your archetypes *Kali Ma, Sekhmet and Durga
You falsify that women are weak and incapable
That to be feminine to be fragile and helpless
You’re a beauty with dignity & divine power all
Ability to shape shift woman or crone effortless.
Known as Pele energy or energy Pele-kino-aha-nei
Your four sisters using same will Pele-kino-aha-nei.

Antistrophe

As a young woman you fell in love with Lohiau
As you left volcano, pining for you & dying nearly
You sent Hiiaka for him, she fell in love with Lohiau
You found Kamapua, but allowed them to marry.
All in Hawaii know your defined potential of fire
And stories about your many loves & infidelities
Your father sent you away because of your hot temper
As you seduced your sister’s husband with abilities.
Finally in Hawaii with blatant infidelities and passions
Manifested in the Big island’s volcanic activities.

Epode
Because Hawaii sits on the mountaintops of Lemuria
Lemurian Goddess energy is a still a strong vibration
Coming to Hawaii, feels good like coming home area
Within their cellular consciousness with love’s vibration. 
Ye, Goddess Pele is surprisingly playful and light
With three dynamics, well being, play and flow
You, as healer, love to heal and love to be brought
If not treated with respect , you have the power to blow. 
All visitors you listen to the Pele archives as I do
Believe that miracles can come from teachings due.

Premium Member Tribute To Pele

Pele wins World Cup at seventeen.
Letting proud Brazilians cheer and preen.
Scored six goals in victory
National Treasure we all see
He’s the best soccer player ever seen.

Pele Playing

Ronaldo, messi are nice
but Pele had no price
always made more than one goal
with him in field no zero for sure


Pele Rip

PELE – R.I.P.

When I was a young boy
Soccer was my game.
I dreamed I would play like Pele;
The whole world would know my name.

I would just be known by a single name
And I’d always wear number ten.
I’d win the World Cup Final,
Again and again and again

The crowds would all adore me,
I’d bask in adulation.
The name on everybody’s lips;
The darling of the nation.

But of course it was only a pipe dream.
I could never really compete.
For I was born right-footed
And I’m blessed with two left feet

The Day Pele Disappeared

Team named Santos of Pelé, Coutinho, Doval, Mengálvio, Pepe and cia played against a Ceará first division team. It was not Ceará nor
the Fortaleza. It was the first half and the defense of that team was
almost nullifying Santos's fabulous attack.
Nothing worked: neither Pepe's kicks, nor the little tables of
Pelé and Coutinho ... nothing was undone by the defender "Chico Paredão...-
that marked Pelé with total efficiency: it looked equal to Ramos
Delgado, or Figueroa ...
Result, first half 0X0, score naught ...
In the second half, after 30 minutes everything seemed the same ...
suddenly bam! 1X0 ... there it goes, ... there it goes, bang! 2X0.
Chico Paredão with bulging eyes "hunted" the Pelé ... and
the ball ... where ... where ... bam 4X0.
In the final Santos 5X0 in fifteen minutes ...
-
Chico what happened? ...
- How are you? ...
Where is it?
- Where is he...?
- Who?
- Pele, Pele gone?
Pelé disappeared from Chico Paredão's field of vision and scored 4
goals They say the defender never recovered from the trauma
and ended career.
That day became known as: the day Pelé disappeared ...
It is as Valdir Amaral said great soccer narrator:
- This man doesn't exist ... this man doesn't exist

PELE

Oh

Yes!

I am Pele 
Was born poor
But to be great
Dad played ball 
I’d loved to do it better

Even if the flower won’t bloom
I’ll cherish what I love to do 
Do it in a better way, thrive!
Yea!! To a better me to reckon 

Where is the ball, balloon rolls
Where is the field? The road to greatness 
Even if I turn roads and path to soccer pitches
All I want is to be watched on world-wide pitch

Oh the pain my mama hate to watch
Oh the groan my dad wanted it better
Would work out of friends who wanna be doctors
All because I have no money but skills for soccer

Now fame came, they loved me as legend!
Would they love to know the pain of the huddles
I dribble with ease, was my calling to entertain
Would they want to know the trees and apples?
That I set as target players, I had  targeted goals

Set! was it my focus, never wanted to be down
Clear was my mission; to make all others smile
To the length of my days, let Brazil be known 
To the mark of my calling, legacy for whole world

I passion through, moulded my beginning
Even if I fight daily, to the end still waiting 
For the trophy to my Lord, welcome home Legend
My life was spent, my anthers fully blown for all
To spread, yielded seed of legacy to all hearts for soccer

Rest on Legend! Pele; GOAT of all times
