Best Simmering Poems
Like soup . . . poems also need a good foundation,
a flavourful base to build upon;
I have no set time limit for my creation,
though, sometimes my alphabets are woebegone !
Carrots, peas, celery and corn are like bright gems,
potatoes, green beans, beef broth and tomatoes are the substance;
that any soup or poem needs to fall from spoons and pens,
and of course alphabet pasta words must swirl in great abundance !
Stirring often my poemy soothing delicious comfort,
I am not afraid of adding a little zest;
in the end my alphabet creation will be triumphant,
and Zen feelings will stir and my soupy poem will be blessed !

Just a look
yet a torrent
of hidden emotion
Just a smile
yet a message
of concealed affection
Just a touch
yet an eruption
of channelled passion

Simmering hope in all....!
Simmering hope visible in the morning rays;
keep moving on to find what lays as ways!
As those embellishing golden light that crept,
it is that unfathomable dark past which left!
Stagnation means death in that one form;
as a thumb rule, is against worldly norm!
Take a fair clue from that rays of hope;
pointed focus reveal myriad ways to cope!
Being stagnant is perceptive limitation;
progress - itself a move towards decimation!
As we while our times away in small action,
subtly we glean time in its own subtle motion!
From simmering hope or clairvoyant dark,
focused deep within, will reignite that spark!
Pursue that urge to seek through thy own Will;
let it unravel and unfold itself in that 'calm 'n still'!

A simmering smoke surrounds me
And it’s you
Coming to abduct me
From this life
I’m in your world now
Fenced in by loyal love
Confined by durable devotion
Would you mind
If I stayed forever?

Under the summer sky, in the simmering golden sun, my mind dances among the stars,
Where memories melt into plays of light, dreams, and burning longings,
On beaches where sand is a golden carpet, and the sea sings its eternal song,
I can still feel the waves touching my feet, telling tales of unforgettable times.
The salty air is a fragrance of the past, bringing shivers of forgotten adventures,
While tanned skin glows like a copper garment under the sun,
Memories flow like rivers of light, revealing desires that haven’t faded,
In the depth of my thoughts, I float, in the webs of summer, my senses vibrate.
The summer’s simmer is a spell that wraps the soul in its mantle of warmth,
While sandals burn as a testament of days filled with passion,
Time stops under the spell of summer, and feet run on magical sands,
Leaving behind a trail of stars, like an imprint on the sky of eternal memories.
In this endless flow of thoughts and dreams, I let myself be carried by the waves,
Contemplating the mystery of summer, a season that lives like an unwritten poem within me,
Drawing on the sky of my soul constellations of desires and memories,
A symphony of light and shadow, where magic and melancholy intertwine.

Sun
Shining brightly in the simmering sky,
Upon the world, its gleaming light does lie,
Nourishing all, as day goes by and by.
