The pagan pilgrimage, sun-worshippers frequently make
Latter-day phenomenon, take off on a Bronze Age break
Constellations change position, solstices realign
Tropic of Capricorn peaks, Cancer starts its slow decline
Astrologers reassure us, the end is not bespoke
Astronomers can’t sleep, has a supernova awoke?
Healthy cells deconstruct inexorably from their...

Raspberry RuinsIn a world bejeweled
with tainted trinkets,
and feigned flowers,
we follow the
wailing waves below
whirling wind,
like secluded silhouettes,
stranded on the
cusp of chaos,
unable to find the sparkling
streak of hyacinth hope-
between dusk and dawn.
Perhaps there is a
reason why I stopped
rewriting runes with
cashmere conclusions,
as I’ve long...

Slamming the Super-Duper-Soupersyou want to know a secret
when I write a poem and it's perfect
i dont share it
i bury it
deep inside of me
where no one else can see
i mean its perfect
not like this shift
it's elegant, poignant,
simplistic, bueatful
trucking perfect
its not erotic
but i...

As we Metamorphose“being mistook we burnt the book
thoughts rest, we dwell in our heart’s nest
touched by spirit, our body shook
by God’s light blest as we undressed” ~ Unseeking Seeker
As the sky dissolves remnants
of scripted dogma,
to uncloak a canopy ~
embroidered with empathy,
carved with clarity,
illuminated with integrity,
tangled...

"a Rose From Heaven Grows"May we always address dis-complacency, the vacancy,
And remove all opposes, to our roses,............................................................(Acts 18:4-6)
Here at Poetry Soup, completing love’s 100% loop, in our soup,
For an authentic rose, from God it grows, always knows,
It’s own heart, from which it grows,
For authenticity’s, dis-complacency
Displaces a rose, from which...

Let Love KillZoned out in the darkness
Time devours my vitality
Trying to swim; I sink to the bottom
Meet me here in aphotic darkness
Our devilish souls can create a tsunami on the surface
And obliterate all other love
Light hearts, ripples
As we drink their shallow cries
Unite with me as I...

Star CrossedOur eternal souls are dust from a falling star
To once part and come back together from afar
Here is two imperfect hearts and souls
That when together they are whole
Will it be fate or destiny as this story unfolds
Both hearts and souls which was once complete...

In Stars AboveI’m the Swarovski pearl
of an origami dream,
sailing amidst superficial salt,
soaked in sinister sparks,
floating like deceptive debris
and artificial aquamarines.
As the sea weeps luminous lies,
the truth rests
in stars above,
mirroring phrases written
on tales of the island that seized
the light within
the heart of the ocean,
while you...

Over the FallsI whisper to you in the quiet night
So many thoughts there are to say
Immersed in the corners of darkness
While so long you have been away
All these miles of distance and time
From another life merge with today
A peaceful revelation and sublime
Only you would understand this way
Echoes...

The Tragic Savant“It” embraces “togetherness”
Like blemished mascara on a retired call girl
“It” would speak in aggressive audible banter,
As if crystallized bullhorns were
Strapped
Onto unwelcome seating arrangements
No boundaries.
No consideration.
No apologies.
Yet, their measurement of pride
Coagulates into withered centimeters
While seducing unscented tulips
With impoverished protractors
And tattered encyclopedias
An unsatisfied square root with...

The Language of MigrationDespite the climate challenge with traffic congestion on the road,
there’s still a driving urge to go out and celebrate the Eucharist;
it’s a great deal of commitment to God who’s the source of life,
his language connotes an embodiment of love for our salvation.
Braving the difficulties in...

August StormIt started the 8th of June
moving away from too familiar
into too alien,
finding no sane oasis between.
Vibrant greens relentlessly fade
to wilting monoculturing drought.
Brown patches emerge with dulled loss of inspiration
of what might have been a family
an ecological home
a contenting pasture for aging bones,
hinky synapses flaring thorny...

Tax Decoder RingAs we bring in spring the thing I mainly dread,
Is preparing overbearing taxes for the Feds.
If I had the power to empower anything,
I’d shower that power on a tax decoder ring.
This sure thing ring would sting right at the source,
Of our outmoded tax code that...

Iambic Pentameter
Wilderness of the MindDisorientated in the world I've known.
Struggling to comprehend what's defined.
Unable to fix my course, I'm alone.
I stumble through my encamped darkness blind.
Encircled by confusion I must stand,
To confront the reasons that find me lost,
And reach for the will my soul shall demand,
To defeat this fluster,...
