Your Friends at Poetry Soup
Are they really true?
At times, I ask myself that?
Are they who they pretend to be?
Or wearing a sequined mask and hat?
But, I do know the ones who are there for me!
It’s like sitting with a friend…
Beneath acool willow tree.
There is a love there, that never expires.
Their heart smiles gladly with you,
Way far beyond...

GIVE EVERY DAY
May we be blessed…
especially in this time of political upheaval and strife
To give every day, as Mark Twain suggested,
A chance to become the most beautiful day in our life.

ANOTHER WONDERFUL DAY
The other day was a wonderful day…(I find this is something I often say)
as I woke excited to discover I got to live and breathe another day.
Before I sat down at the computer to put some of my thought into words.
I hung the feeders on the porch and prepared to welcome in the birds.
I rode...

Set Me OffA beer bottle don’t burst for no reason.
You shake it up.
It only shoots
when the cap cracks open.
I can’t be good
when I see your DJ setup,
and I wanna taste
what’s dripping,
what’s dying to break loose
when the cap cracks open.
I want my lips
On your fingers licking good.
They know what they’re doing —
Your fingers on the lid.
Play something.
Doesn’t matter...

All HeartYou are all heart,
Duty keeps us apart,
Still at that silly stage,
You write love on my page,
True hero to all,
Your love keeps me in thrall,
You are my one, you see,
Gold your soul, praising thee!...

Love AlwaysMy love
Has been used
My love
Has been abused
I’ve tried
For so long
But I was tired
I just wanted to belong
Then he came
A beautiful angel
Although the heaven bane
A handsome bangle
Love is a strong word
It takes a lot to mean
People in this world
Don’t seem to teem
They know what it means
They know it can be good
But they don’t know how to...

Love At First SightThe first moment that we met
I couldn't believe my eyes
The woman standing before me
Was a sweet and elegant surprise
Her beauty was beyond amazing
And her smile was so bright
It was at this moment that I knew
I had fallen in love at first sight
Her eyes the pinnacle of vividness
That...

Love Looks With The Mind
There must be
a meeting of personalities,
a synchronization of Souls,
lots of the same ground
for 2 people
to become a couple
Love doesn't mesh
with the eyes
but with the mind.
Intelligence is the key
You must have
common interests, likes
Nowadays even
political views to
avoid discrepancies
making the relationship
go smooth, effortless
Not to say that
attractiveness doesn't matter
but is a part of a
combination of the whole...

Requires that a fellow be drunk,
Pursuing the happy,
A literate chappy,
So happy became that he stunk....

Boys Don’t Break -But I Did-They say boys don’t cry.
They say it like a promise.
Like strength is stitched in our skin at birth
and weakness is something
you have to unzip your chest to find.
I was eight
when I learned that sadness had a gender.
That girls get tissues,
and boys get told to “tough it out.”
That scraped knees get band-aids,
but broken hearts?
Those just get...

With Your LoveI'll never forget the love You've shown
To my family, friends, and I
You are a God of great love and compassion
The deepest love one could not deny
I shall stay and wait upon You Lord
Sing Your praises all day long
Lord I am not worthy of Your love
With Your love I can't go wrong...

Coral and Lime stoneCoral and Limestone**
You can take the country out of me, but the essence of acid lime runs through my veins like an indelible mark of my heritage. Growing up on the island was a unique blessing, where the roots of kinship ran deep and everyone seemed connected by an invisible thread. It was a place...

Crows and me
Sitting in the balcony, I sit blank and stare
Two crows in the tree, some flying in the air
They hop and play without care or worry
I watch them with fancy, don’t know why I feel sorry
They have all the time, and no boss to please
No responsibilities, no bills, no school fees
No one to shout, and no...
