Premium Member The Heart of the Stranger

                We know the heart of the stranger
                   for 190 years, slaves unto Pharaoh in Egypt
                      backbreaking labor, spirit-sapping, 24/7
                         Within us beat loud the heart of the stranger

                 We take him with us, for all time, to the farthest reaches of the globe
                     a sacred bond between us and the Almighty
                        As He protects the stranger, so do we
                            As He promotes him, so must we

                  For what does God ask of us other than
                      to emulate Him
                        to walk in His ways
                            to do justice

“It was a mistake," you said. But the cruel thing was, it felt like the mistake was mine, for trusting you.”
David Levithan

I will forever be as pure
as white virgin fibres,
in your onyx 
field of ravens.
When the 
star-crossed 
silhouette of 
bleeding ink,
ricochets like 
vindictive arrows,
within your 
hollow walls,
quenched with 
muted echoes, 
I am reminded of 
your ebony eyes,
cradled under 
black decomposing flesh.
I shove my 
misunderstood identity
into a pocket journal,
embalmed with a
fragrance of peace lilies
and rhapsodical prose, 
amidst doleful dusks 
painted with 
past mistakes
hidden beneath 
narratives of sinful
tangerine nights. 
But, remember 
that your fallacious
name is an 
erased footnote
in the history of 
relentless runes. 
My tormented tongue
has become 
immune to 
your false screams.
There is no need 
for close-fisted 
fingers to flip
through pages,
of the story 
I left behind,
as visions of 
venomous verses
cremate into 
ashes in my mind-
as mere memories
of monologues from
ice cold monsoons,
which don’t define me. 

I’ve sculpted fragile
paper boats and 
watched them ferry my 
demons,
floating on daisies 
in a ravishing rivulet
of truth and tranquility, 
whilst you chase
impassioned imprints 
within chapters
written in patterns
of insincere phrases. 

I am a survivor of 
your storm, 
drawing dreams in
drowsy darkness,
blooming my 
amethyst artistry,
which vibrantly 
beats to burgundy 
evolutions of a
blossoming flower,
who's scent you 
will never savor. 
My petals 
may be fragile,
but I refuse to remain 
prisoned in toxic 
traits of a 
weathered wildflower -
I only attract 
majestic butterflies.

Premium Member 'before My Pen Is Hushed'

Before my flowing, poetic pen is hushed in Quietus,
And I have reached my journey's end with folded hands;
            Departed into my dreamless sleep beneath violets,
Let me write one everlasting, eternal, immortal verse;
                  Of the ravaged garden of my life.

      I want to hear a bird song when I quietly glide away,
With a sigh, I will lay my pale form down peacefully;
            I have willed my Keepsakes and my musing poems,
The Angel of death, will take my hand into another realm;
                  And the drums of time will cease.

      Oh, it has been a life full of happiness entwined with sad,
I have travelled many different roads to get to Tranquillity;
           The chapters of my life are full of the dead and undead,
Memories of childhood, family, friends and pets I loved;
                  The scars of life stab my soul.

      I do not fear death and I am ready to go through the gate,
But I will miss nature, the woods and the waters moving;
            And as I walk the silent passage alone to my eternal night,
Think of me as being set free and soaring high up above;
                  I lived a life weather-stained with tears.

      Leaving life is something we all must do; it is written,
I was held by a thread in this earthly realm until that last gasp;
            Now, all I know is the peacefulness of a leafy tree above,
Drifting blue clouds and rain falling gently on my resting place;
                  I was a shadow on the wall of time.

      Do not weep over my eternal grave heartbroken my dears,
I have followed the beautiful Angels footsteps to heaven;
           My poetry is timeless, ageless, and will always remain,
I have shed this earth bound life and I am a butterfly set free;
                  I drank from the deep blue cup of life.

      So come, dear hearts and plant some pretty flowers in Spring,
I am at last united with all my beloved who have gone before;
             Touch my name and remember me for my beauty,
And although my life was but a whisper, I loved every moment;
                  Now, I exist in another realm.

Premium Member in marked territory


             my father told me that life
          was a series of emotional chapters
        like a map of my journey
                         exposed in this puzzle
      with all the challenges of life
    and all the wounds that scar

    full of painful shadows that hide
      grief and deep regrets like daggers
        the suffering pushed away and hidden
                         exposed in this puzzle
          a voice inside whispers only negative
               of the thousand faces of me

               faces I have worn in life
          on this endless long twisted journey
        faces ever changing and fading away
                         exposed in this puzzle
      I can see each life destination
  and yes, places that shatter me
   
    territories and lands I have experienced
      places I have forgotten on purpose
        inner landscapes that hurt my soul
                         exposed in this puzzle
                some marked as remarkable and striking
            some have no joy to recall 

            its a magical world this map
          I close my eyes to travel
        to be there in the past
                          exposed in this puzzle
      and I finally face the battle
   to destroy those hurtful memories forever

I think you would have found sociology agreeable.

The chapters jump right into the heart of the matter and do not cause you to stray wondering--spelled with an 'o' not an 'a'--as 'stray' would have clued you in, ... and I wouldn't suggest psychology. 

Why not? You'd pass out in the hallway fronting the classroom door. You're still young enough, and you should give sociology the benefit of your doubt to its full measure. 

Why did you tell me--back to school, me, I mean I'm not like you. Jane stop. Don't measure me to you, but measure yourself owned outright--firstly, by not putting yourself down.

Why sociology? Because of your verbal reactions to my points relating to the matter.

Yours is one of wonder--again spelled with an 'o,' you'll quickly learn how not to swim endlessly in a goldfish bowl wandering--with an 'a,' going from end to end realizing no corners that would bear points, reasons going in a circled bowl, wondering, now with an 'o,' of an open ocean, and endless swims each bearing a point of interest to a goldfish, who's now left to wander----------with an 'a'-----------smart girl.

The goldfish scenario is a hopeful suggestion, unlike Clint's objectives. Why say it like that? Well, I'm flattered ... to be used, Jane! 

And, I am not placing that vacant ruse in the brevity of our encounter, for I am including you Jane, and the five times that fellow workers made that arduous journey to your Shang-Gri-La invitee and our office poor water cooler, ... had to cool down.

That Sociology book, though it's been a few years, it should still be in use or at least in circulation, that is, if you pass on the sitting purview.

I am going to write some poetry,
Some happy and some sad,
Ones you have to think about
Others that will make you mad.
If I write a good selection
I will put them in a book,
If you see it on the shelf
I hope you take a look.
There should be one that relates to you
At sometime in your life,
And I hope that it's a happy one
That will bring your smile alive.
I'm sure there will be others
That will make you be aware,
Of all the good and bad times
I'm memories,in all our lives we share.
So if you purchased my little book
And you have got it in your hand,
With all these chapters in our lives
I know you will understand.

Be Selfish

A selfish man protects his family
        like a guard,he contemplates the welfare
   of his beloved family members,endures pain happily
            THEY ARE A HAPPY FAMILY

             A self obsessed labor focuses
          on his work,pays no heed to others
  accomplish task,within a given time, to grab bonus
             HIS WORK IS FLAWLESS
 
       A selfish teacher persuades his students
     to assimilate the tough chapters,and make them
   fathom the subject, to gain self esteem and improvement
          STUDENTS BECOME KNOWLEDGABLE

      A selfish politician indoctrinates his followers
   by his bewitching words to procure their full support
 and intentionally resolve their problem to retain his power
         THE COUNTRY FLOURISHES
    
       The selfish soldiers possess patriotism,sustain
  in the inconsistent weathers,tolerate rain and heat
 to fortify their nation,never allow the opponents to win
           PEOPLE ARE PROTECTED

        We are all inherently selfish,no doubt in that
   Showing concern for our family,friends,pets,nation,
 But,in fact we need to become the selfish human beings
    to take care of the beautiful planet we live, to halt 
      the wars between the countries,rationing the food 
        with our fellow beings and to share resources
After all,we all belong to one planet.We are already the selfish men,politicians,soldiers and why don't we become selfish human beings?

This is my hundredth poem.
I honestly never thought,I would reach 100. I am so glad to be here.It is all because of the poetry soup members.So many talented poets are here and I am learning a lot from you. More than anything else,it's your encouragement that made me write.Thank you so much for your encouragement and support...

Premium Member THINK LIKE A BOOK

Life taking a second
Pause for a moment
Reflection a wonder
Hard lesson in preparation
Theory throughout
Complexity living
Exploring directions

Conquering what’s holding me back
Attempting moving forward is a struggle
Every step being a depth of every breath
Time is steadily revolving, and I don’t even have a clue on where to start
Do I start or depart?
Books are full of concepts, stories and chapters of events
I don’t have that kind of time
I must make time
Seeing life as the full picture
Believing in what I can overcome
Improve what can be transformed
Mind connection
Thinking beyond any book into wise
The mirror seeing the reflection of self
Being why I was created to achieve
Promise with a direction

Novice approach
Learning being knowledge
Mindset determination
Impact of my own footsteps
Journeys through the preparation
Hard as it is and the knock downs
Achievements that can be made
Not scare to take chances
Trials and Errors periodic methodology
Courage showing no fear
Challenging principles beyond
Book knowledge in destination promise
Life chapters
Aspect theories
Expectations
My own bookmark aniseed
Wonder not, but believe more.
