Best Private Poems

The hutch 
like everything else in this house is
crooked.  A slanting hardwood floor 
and the burnished ends 
of an ancient table. 

An ever rounding table 
"a table with history" she says, 
a lineage with the cut 
and lineaments 
of the eight-score man who built...

College party red cups  all across the room.
we caught each others eye.
Inbetween  dances  if eyes were a camera they'd 
be caught in zoom.

I know you came here with another guy.
Sixfoot four football player.
Tried to say whats up but blockhead just told 
me...

Father it’s me again. It’s been too long between talks
Days, years: restless lost wasted years
Choices made based on greed, pride, arrogance and misbegotten dreams
It’s difficult at best to understand how You can still love me
The blessings continued throughout it all
I had Kristofferson on the stereo...

Faraway magic sparks inside distant dreams awaken tears
spells under a smiling moon casting shadows out howls lonely
within deep soft moving feelings lights all candles in four chambers bright

Silver whispers one lone wolf cries princess moonlighting ball faraway dance
flying on wings across many oceans sweet warmly...

Romeo Jaxx had a friend for a fool
So he never thought "Baby's in love."
He fought for his rights
and he slept through your dreams
With his self-centred wolverine paralysed
 
Drove out of the camp on a bright summer's day
waving last weekend's pass-out goodbye
Phoned Jenny, then Julie, who...

The Misses gave Santa a private dance
She was in the mood for some hot romance
                Played a sexy song
           ...

Dear Folks:  I pen this note as we ply the dark and stormy sea.
Thanks to Uncle Sam I'm cruising on the Queen Mary, all for free.
You'd think we'd travel in style on such a luxurious tub,
But I'll tell you about life aboard and what...

IS  SOUPMAIL STILL  PRIVATE 

How do non - members get into soup,
Somewhere in the system there’s a loop,
And ask you to contact them please,
It makes one to not feel at ease,
This person does not exist on Poetry Soup!

Since I commenced with this friendly...

Enjoying the outdoors..
As sun rays dominate
a soft gentle breeze surrounds
A picture perfect haven..
Scenic views of luscious gardens..
Colorful flowers of all sorts..
An effervescent infusion fills the air
Sweet floral fragrance..
Along..
A fresh and crisp fragrance 
Knocks out the senses..
Invigorating with such pleasure..

A private garden..
Nestled and tucked away ..
A...

Abortion is supposed to be good
The babies are safe in heaven
The baby Angel  told me 
Tell the priest that the babies are safe in heaven

God wants to give women
Chance, on the left ear
Choice, on the right ear
To save themselves
After, saw my previous tragic car...

Retired now, the Government calls me a carer. 
Now I ask you what could be fairer?
They pay me a few dollars to look after my better half.
They explain that I save them the cost of employing staff.

Well, I won’t tell them, but they could have...

 Everywhere, in dark and light, 
are always watching eyes.
Way out in space, 
glowing orbs, 
some of gold; 
watch through celestial layers.

Sift through the layers, 
to allow the light.  
Expose the golden, 
watching eyes.  
Those burning orbs, 
that hide in space.

We all need...

Theme is "Trust in Him"
An invite to all

Life has its ups
Life has its downs

Trials are just
a test of
your Faith. So

Put ALL
Trust in

How can something so small
Cause so much pain?
With awesome power
And nothing to gain

You think you are dying
You hope that you are
Your threshold of pain 
Has been tested so far

Those who have been there
Will recognize it's sign
You're ever so lost
In this moment of time

Trapped in this...

Non exchangeable 
biodegradable 
Given time may be changeable 
However 
Forever 
Insatiable 

Thrashing out the tempo of life
Misses a beat when presented with strife 
Within Private chambers 
initials inscribed 
Etched with a promise 
None but one can revive...
