Best Soothe Poems
Silk wading thru wistfully warm sea waters,
my dreaming fingers have lingered to potter
with ocean surface, sun sparkled glitters.
My poetic pieces have gone full twitter
in charmed waters of crystal clear rarity
where I felt God's love soothe life's severity.
Slowly easing into ocean powered waves,
my playful moods have seriously caved
from forceful, salt stinging, brutal wave smacks.
My body has ached sea bruised, blue and black.
Rough seas crudely taught me joy may survive
despite waves of fright that savagely arrive.
Now, reaching the end planks on my journey's pier
and viewing my twilight's approach so clear,
it's past sunshine glitters that most sustain
these concluding sea views for my earthly gain.
Yet, I know without crass waves that abused,
wading joys would not have peaked this enthused.

soothing your soul self
a knowing within your heart
what is best for you
dream state magic
introspective sureness
living your truth
bathing your soul self
hearing yourself realistically
being the most healthy statistically
living your joy artistically
following your absolute truth mystically
your angel guides know the eliminations and
inclusions that you will need to delight in
your bliss and live your true soul self

In the moments before dusk
night in a struggle with the day
dreams they do say
dancing into reality
the red light district
flickers on high alert
she, backs into me
a soft velvet touch
embarking me involuntarily
to thrust
my chest closer
to those simple breaths
slow and so sweet
rendering me complete
here's where I dream
or so does it seem
a memory or want
to endow her my pride
an encompassing ride
stirring, echos in time
a morning of lust
urged to surface
thrive
brazen and bare
not coming up for air
spring undresses the moon
surrender takes many turns
lasting sips

He bought everyone
A choux pastry
Filled with cream
And half covered with chocolate,
To eclair the air.

To Soothe Her Heart
I sat in despair, the pained look my stare
silently weeping behind dark closed doors
My world crashed because she was not there
heart and soul shatters as my misery pours
The early morning hours drag on in despair
I stumble away doing my boring daily chores
Never a moment forgetting she does not care
those terrible fights we had by the scores
Soon the dreaming of repairs come to mind
rehearsing sweet words to soothe her heart
first off, where she is now I have to find
beg her return again for our loving restart
I rise from that despair to pursue my quest
look for my lady love in all the old places
Speak to her of forever doing my very best
to dance away with smiles on both our faces
If only such a happy ending had came about
for my lady love rejected all my epic pleas
Sent me away with her cursing with a shout
not even if you cried begging on your knees!

My mood made me rude,
My dude soothed my mood;
All right all my nights dude,
Your loneliness makes a day grudge;
Let the world burn outside,
Let’s remember nobody outside;
Insanity makes me fervent dude,
Exigency needs your deeds, dude;
And when I watered in dread
I Reminisce,
With Tearful eyes more filled with bliss,
I Reminisce,
I could tell the moments like a dream,
Is all that we saw or seem;
You exalt my cheerfulness,
When I am in woefulness;
My mood made me rude,
My dude soothed my mood;

Sapphire silk scarves
Soft white cotton sheets
The best piece of chocolate you ever did eat
The sweetest scent of
Lavender, or
Two weeks at the beach
A nap with your
Teddy
Kissed by salty sea air
Wind blowing wildly, tossing lion mane hair
Curled up with a quilt
On a wet,
Winter-spun day
Caught up in a dream that carries you
Far away
A violin trilling serenades you to sleep
Treble-tousled lullabies
Take you to
Fluffy, frothy skies
Clouds dancing in the sun that you wish
You could keep
Spending hours on end with
Somebody you
Love
Celebrating Un-birthdays on account
Of just because
Stars cling to the night like the blush
That hugs your cheeks
The guitar you strum softly is the sole
Companion that you need
His meek friend the mandolin
Puts the beat into
Your blood and the lyric in your
Name
So rub your eyes, weary souls
Come and shed all of
Your tears
Drop every heartache in the ocean
And erase all of your
Fears
This place was built to calm you
Entirely to soothe
To cradle you in the arms of a world
That's really not so huge

after the rain has falling
where will you be
when the pain stop
yawling
i can see you free
after the hard labor dies down
like a tree from the ground
roots strong and fill with
viens you will rise again
after turmoil opt out
friends who turn on you
apologize
money becomes
deeds... which
before was full of greed
how is it that tonight
i'm fresh with new thoughts
and tomorrow
morning i'm tired with
new thoughts....
i meditate and
pray.... and watch all my desires
and wants just fade away

You come home with a grim expression
Ignoring the screaming and fighting
Another trashed night of insults and threats from your parents
Blams flying left and right but the only thing you can think about is getting to your santuary
Placing the headphones on, blocking the noises of broken glass and collapsing bodies
You hit play quickly and soon your day has suddenly become more bareable
You relax finally and lay yourself down on your floor
Holding yourself in the fetal position, hugging your knees tightly
You close your eyelids and take a deep breath
No more fighting
No more sadness
Only happiness and joy fill your mind
The beats and different tones coarse through your ears not screams and insults
You tap your index fingure on your knee to the beat of the music
Humming and singing to the lyrics
You begin to imagine your own little world where you can escape to
You smile widely as you see your parents looking at you and grinning back
They invite you into their arms for a warm embrace
You take it all in, making sure not to miss a single moment
You cry tears of happiness and bliss
You look up to them and you say: "I Love you"
But when your world suddenly began to fade away
and reality came into view
You brace yourself for the blow to your stomach
Crashing to the ground, you hold youself and cover your face
Your mother shouting and pleading your father to stop
Your hair being pulled, slamming you against the wall
Grabbing your arms tightly he squeezes as hard as he could, hearing the crunch
Your blood curdling scream doesn't phase him a bit
Your mother tries to help you but he slams her into the corner of the wall
You slump to your floor again, laying there as you have a clear view of what is happening
Suddenly a knife comes raining down, you hold out your arm
Your mother now is suffering pain so severe
He comes up to you and roughly kicks your face
He leaves as you hear tires screaching and slowly the sound fades away
Now the only thing you hear is your so called 'little world' behind you
As your vision suddenly turns black

Heavenly Father, hear my plea,
Remove my sloth and set me free.
Inspire my soul to reach its height,
And fill my days with radiant light.
Bring peace to soothe my troubled mind,
Joy for the sorrow that I find.
Instill in me a hopeful ray,
To guide my heart through each new day.
If something’s meant to keep me low,
Dear God, it’s best that you let go.
Reveal the souls not meant for me,
And end what’s not in harmony.
Protect the path that I now tread,
And grant me strength where I feel dread.
Don’t let me waver, don’t let me sway,
For in Your light, I’ll find my way.
Calm my spirit, heal my heart,
Take from my soul each troubling part.
With gratitude, I lift this prayer,
Dear God, I love You; I will share.
Amen.

You pace the forest with comfortable decadence, seizing a power you have but do not know.
Lying in the sun, the beast comes to take you on, up to the next plateau.
You’re a pinch-kissed cowardly lion, dangling from the hands of destiny’s time.
You seek honesty from the mouth of a friend, a judge whose sentence never fits a crime.
Blood stains a yellow road where love is flooded & washed to sea.
You know, I know there are sharpened rubies in Hell, waiting for me.
You are stuck in formation, congealed with decadence, hoping the sun does not go down.
Before your friends ramble and tease, your cool feet will rust in the ground.
There is oil that keeps you moving. It gives the honor which makes wrong right.
Now your tinny eyes are frozen, transfixed on the pinch of a needle’s bite.
Your friends are coming now to give a heart which they bestrode.
It is there love never blossoms, in the roots that they have sowed.
You are dancing when not decadent, yet ignorant in vain,
And your friends drip with despair so that they’re feeding from your brain.
Remember - vended produce fills you up – knowledge bestowed.
Although it may never help you, take an apple for the road.
God has cast a lively ember on the straw of this attire.
So let your friends come dote upon the contents of the fire.
Sleep soundly in your decadence, with red to match your shoes.
While lost inside the daydream, play a game that you only lose.
Look for the good witch, beckoning as every intent steals,
And spend your last days muttering to yourself, clicking your heels.
Into the dawn you will discover nothing as you go
In search of homely comfort beyond, over the rainbow.
Awake among the poppies, we can find you in dream
Where the turning of an hourglass exhumes your private seam.
A hero in a dart places himself upon your wall,
As we can only watch it from this tiny crystal ball.
Up close, true friends are crying and scolding in their attack,
But I can see few good witches smiling in the back.

down by the river
my soul is raging and wild
I am untamed and pure
refusing to be defiled
down by the stream
my heart is calm and serene
I'm drifting in a dream
taking in the beautiful scene
down by the pond
my mind is quiet and still
and I am quite fond
of nature's power to soothe and heal

Somber sonnet, slumbering of soul
So tired of being tired,
Seems nobody knows…
Soul of slumbering sonata,
Somber, screams of the heart,
Superficial strokes soon to depart,
So tired of being tired,
Seems nobody knows…
Searching sweet solace,
Stir o’ slumbering sonata
Stimulating serenity of soul…
Surrogate the somber sonnet
Serendipitously, so …‘til, it’s no longer tired, but
Soothing balm of stamina
Strengthening survival of the soul…

oh, how you soothe my soul
your love is therapy for my brain
the depths in which i have risen evolves beyond extraordinary
there are not enough ways to say thank you
will 'i love you' do
oh, how you soothe my soul
your heart is the balance serum for my sanity
the environments in which i have viewed evolves beyond a scene of amazement
there are not enough ways to say thank you
will 'i love you' do
oh, how you soothe my soul
your mind is so inspirational like a smile in the center of a grounded foundation
the miracles in which i have accomplished evolves beyond simply being blessed
there are not enough ways to say thank you
Praise God that you love me too....
