Best Soulful Poems

Behind the elaborate mask I wear
Beyond the depths of blue soulful eyes
Beneath the painted lips and coiffured hair
my tears flow into an estuary of sorrowful cries

I'm a ripe peach dangling from a tree
temptation before you, ready for picking
but rotted at the core, where you cannot...

They soar through space-scapes of
divine milky whorls and blue halos;
incandescent dandelion wishes
blown across nocturnal fields -
illuminating the imaginative expanse 

between eternities of cosmic dark ages and light years
are fiery pixies burning holes through obscurity
with passionate gold dust gilding awe -

souls arising fulfill their destinies

The weeping of souls and Heavenly joy abounds
Succumb to the raptures of that moisture upon a cheek
Transcendental souls speak their own language of tears
We are just their harbouring hosts as each other they seek

No longer tears of pain - but instead ‘Tears of Soulful Joy’
Into...

Another impoverished evening
draped so strangely harsh,  the moon weeps
for one more burning a soul must retain...
And she clings among lost stars
with frozen heartbeat thawing   minutes
weighed on jagged sounds of owl's play.

Yet,  an intercepted light begins to kindle
as she gazes at an...

Writing words across a clear blank page…
Sharing thoughts let out of a cage…

Toss it up into the sky…
Watch it scream as it flies...

Over bent back treetops that hide rainbows…
Grabbing colors like a picture show…

From my fingers to your eyes…
The words read clear in soulful cries…

Toss...

Always one golden smile gleams 
looking upon someone so deeply 
beautiful dazzling jewels 
Sweet love shines into a diamond 
sparkling on the greatest gift 
of all treasures handing you darling 
the very heart and soul babe 
To join with you uniting always 
and forever more...

Tearing my soul asunder, a silent scream
A piteous one as in some dreadful dream,    
In a deep sleep but still very much aware,
Was it but another recurring nightmare?
And how so sad, painful and most unfair
No one in this world really seems to...

“To be free of the darkness in my past allows a bright light to beam for my future”  The poet

Locked away in the crevices of my mind.
Reflections that are truly of a soulful kind.
Remembrance can be a useful tool per se.
In the crevices of...

A cobbler may balance his trade, the mending of soles
  With that of a mender of souls, exchanging roles
With a man of the cloth, making two Roman officials
  Wroth, in the opening scene of Shakespeare's 'Julius Caesar'

Yet when barefoot you walk, on cobblestone...

Walking the winding road of life, seek thee quickly then, to forgive.

The divine, magic, elixir that makes a soul bright, enabling us to live!

Well, poetry or music won’t earn your keep
Many times over we have heard
The love of money is the root of all evil.
Be rich but keep that in mind not to divulge it.
“Some think luxury is the opposite of poverty”.
But It is not. It is the...

With stretched brows, while sitting in a corner
I look up from my specs just out of love.
As she lays food on table and stoops lower
Snipes me from grace of her body thereof.
With eyes on her I come there as if drugged
Feeling tickling smell of the...

Beautiful babe simply magic spells thoughts 
by some miracle your beauty appears 
at my side melting heartbeats 

Softly explode warmly bursting echoes 
embraces the purest treasure forever 
to never let go always held special 

A cold moon bites alone gentle beams 
whispers sweet howling roars...

The words of my soul are not just for me,
The words that follow were like a decree.
“These words are eternal, I share with thee,
To be shared with others to some degree.

Every word I speak will always be true,
Nothing I say will be only for you.
My...
