Forge forth from force, never from forgiveness,
Don't fumble with the frame of your future.
With veils of past sins, allow some liveness,
Bind the soul's light to its faith by suture.
And dispel the darkness; squander no tears,
But flip the twig and then smile, smile, foresee.
Upon the smudged history of missed years,
Ariose pure soul that's zealous with glee.
Do not be proud of the grieve but believe,
That sacred spangle in your crux should grow.
Such as the striving spirit can achieve,
Gossamer scintilla arcane and glow.

The morning sun illuminates my bedroom window causing me to awake
A breathtaking journey through the forest I am about to partake
Nature has invited to be part of their day
Promising to enlighten me with every step that I take along the way
The morning silence is broken by the birds and the animals welcoming me to the place they reside
The path ahead is a visual delight of multi colour leaves that seem to enhance my stride
To be alone with my thoughts and having nature as my guide
The trees with their branches waving at me in the wind, a true sense of pride
Many walkers with their high-energy dogs extend smiles and greetings along the way
The beautiful sights and sounds of nature are truly elevating my day
Whenever you can make the great outdoors and all of its splendor, make it part of your plans
Once you experience the mental clarity and the other health benefits it provides you will truly understand

On your kisses I feast as a bee on nectar
You are the beacon that brightens my world
A shimmering star enhancing the moonlight
It doesn't matter what words you whisper
All of them sound like je t'aime to my ears

Four O’clock in the morning, cant sleep.
The house is so quiet, not a peep.
I’ll stay up and try hard to recoup.
I think I will log back on to Soup.
Seeing more slumber just would not come.
This cheers me up, I don’t feel so glum.
I have uncovered buried treasure.
These poems have given me pleasure.
I did not know there would be such fun.
Wonderful talent from everyone.
Some poem's grandeur often transcends.
There are people that I call good friends.
Thanking them each for all the laughter.
I’m glad it resounds ever after.
There is beauty and sunshine, some rain,
In poems I love to read again.
There are some tears I shed when I grieve.
For the dearest poets when they leave.
For time on the net Soup tops the chart.
So many ways it has touched my heart.
So please do keep the Soup pot burning.
So we poets can all keep learning.

He dances so well in those flares.
Such a gliding, sliding motion.
Round and round - planetary.
Prance, and prance, prance, prance.
Is he a dummy, a puppet?
Yet singularly, exceptionally charming.
Do we believe he exists? He does continue to
prance, oh prance, prance, prance.
Such a springy way to dance - so elastic -
enhancing that appearance.
Such a stunning, gorgeous
prance, gee, prance, prance, prance.
Is he mad? Or are we so?
Oh, such a one-man energetic bustle,
spirited, bubbly - such an indefatigable
prance, that prance, prance, prance.

we would need a chance
to enhance each circumstance
for making romance
knew God would forbid
long lasting being vivid
about what they did
always ill fated
with fools am fascinated
even if related
we could hardly wait
agree after we negotiate
then may consummate
when we say a fool
poorly would be playing pool
he should go to school

Multi-hued fragrance
Ye spread wide, haply then dance,
With bees rare romance,
Watch butterflies prance,
And give this penman a chance
His mood to enhance!

Poet’s Note: And what we, men do? Enjoying their company, nor learning from them, but in our haughty come-uppance we pluck them, put them in a vase, or try make a bouquet as if we would do a better job than Nature. But let me say this, O Flowers: one glance and ye do my mood enhance.

Be willing to enhance your mind
Lift yourself up
Continue to climb that mountain
Soar to the top
Enlighten yourself
For there is always a way
Build up that vibrant energy
Take charge everyday

Take my hand, let us fly. Take my words, let us love. Join me in this journey of
pure passionate truth. Enlighten your soul, expand your mind. Become one with
me, you are my other half. Let these words caress you and float into your heart.
Hold them there and keep them tight. Encase them in your love, ensnare them
with your kiss. Expand your mind to higher things and allow your heart to follow.
Bring forth your inner feelings, let shine your beauty true. Do not recooil and keep
them bound, your feelings i want to see. Force that inner joy from you, in which I
know you posses. Open up and let me in, your mind I want to explore. Take me
on a journey, to your heart, your mind, and your soul. Let me in my love, I
want to be with you. Take this as a piece of me, and let it enhance you.
*This poem is dedicated to the man who has made me see that love is worth
fighting for. He has showed me that the world isn't all cruel and bad. I love him.
And he knows who he is.
