Premium Member A Bridge Over Silent Waters

A Bridge Over Silent Waters

Never judge your fellow man
Before seeking your own reflection
Not the one that shines in a glass mirror
Seek it in the eyes of your fellow man
His eyes shall reflect your compassion or lack there of

When a pond has no ripples
Look for the lies, underneath
When you see the waves upon the water
Know that the winds are singing to you
Truth will always seek you out

Never close your heart to a strangers smile
His smile may bring you serenity or deception
Trust in your inner being to know
It shall open up towards the rainbows or seek refuge 
To protect your soul

When you see a human suffering
Flea not inside your reflection
Instead reflect upon his suffering
Share the waters of your pond with him
This shall promise you both more rainfall


Notes

This was inspired by a poem written by Charmaine, she was kind enough to let me use a few of her lines in the first verse of this poem. Its amazing how when you read something it can open your mind to think of things you otherwise would not have. For some reason, maybe more because of his messages than his style I find myself thinking of Richards’s poetry as well. This for me is the beauty of the site, the inspiration one gets from fellow poets, it’s a great honor to have met so many, and to have shared so many ideas and views and opinions. More important than any poem is the laughter and smiles, this among friends is like giving away gold bars. (Although I do accept the occasional gold bar now and then)


Premium Member To Charmaine

There was a girl named Charmaine
So sweet, not one to complain
Her words did ignite
Put flames in the night
Her rhymes are pretty not plain

Her use of each metaphor
Will lead to visions galore
Like honey and cream
They sweeten each dream
That’s why her rhymes we adore

She writes with class and finesse
Each line has her sweet caress
She flirts with the moon
And makes poets swoon
Her heart is sweet, I confess

So, Girl…here’s looking at you
You bring us visions brand new 
Your words are sublime
They have a sweet chime
For you're are a poet so true

Eileen Manassian

I’m blessed to call Charmaine a friend. I adore her heart and her spirit. She doesn’t have a shadow of malice in her sweet character. Her poetry is of the finest…and yet she is so humble about it. This was inspired by her latest poem….I Think of You. It is just…..sublime. I truly can’t do it justice. Love you, Charmaine….I truly do!!

Premium Member She Is, Or Maybe She Is Not

She found herself
In the shards of who I am
The broken bits
The shadows
The resurrection of yesterday's pauses

I wonder
Was it the happy bits
The quiet contemplations
Or does she exist 
Within the doubts
The abbreviated sentences
The opinions of her own imposters
Those who choose to see her with veiled perceptions
Is she who she wants to be
Or is she in a state of becoming
I try to see past my own limitations

I wade through my wheres
Trying to see where 
Where she has been
Where is she now
Why
Yes I wonder why
Why does she identify with me
I am left to ponder
Contemplate

Who is this woman
With sad happy eyes
Strong in a broken sorta way
Who visits me 
On glowing paper
Graces me with kindness
Chooses to ponder herself
Within my spaces
I will seek her out
For she too
Reveals
Her notes
Sings her spirit
On pure white
Glowing
Paper

Dedicated to Charmaine after she commented on my "I Am" poem.

One soul 
By Michelle Morris
17/03/2021

This day is one I'll always remember,
The day you passed over to heaven above;
But despite your absence on this earthly plane,
I feel you with me every day, my love...

Time keeps moving on and the years roll forward as I celebrate your life on my own,
But the depth of contentment and joy never wanes, because I know that our love is eternal like the original flame...

One day, when my time with our family and this transient life is done, 
I'll be blessed to be with you again under a new sun; and together forever we will always be, 
One soul joined together again, as God planned it to be...

Because of You

Because of you

my lips are never cold

this heart is filled with love

and happiness is not a memory

A scarlet rose blooms in the rain

Each thorn births hundred petals

and fragrance fills the air

My beloved...

the Soft wind breezes on my cheek

and it  is still  your kiss

The moonlight shadow 

descends by my window

and  it is still your smile

My pillow-case is full of dreams

and you are still the dream

You are still  the feeling

which travels beyond  soul

You are still each breath

which mingles within my very own

Because of you...

the sun still rises every morn

Through its warmth 

I feel your touch 
 
Through  its shimmer 

I find those eyes

Through its fire

I find passion

and everlasting Us






Happy Birthday With Love

Top 100 Poets - All-Time Most Popular

Do i have to first change my name to 
Poet Destroyer to top the list,
Or add my all three names like 
Carol Sunshine Brown to come second?
Is it wearing sun glasses like Andrea Dietrich
In my profile picture that mandates me,
Or welcoming Soup freshers like SKAT-LOVE does
To be in the top four?

What does it really take?

Is it all about the P enclosed in the yellow star
Like the top threee?
Really?
What about suZ-D who is number 98 with that gold P, 
Did she not harmonize her name like
Charmaine Chircop  who is on 20


What does it really take?

Should i say its all about being a lady
To be in the top nine?
Or else its because in poetry men come number ten?
If so
Thanks to Vince Suzadail Jr. who made it there
And our own hero Becca Lucas who sealed the 100

Does it really take that?

Should i say its all about the profile picture?
Then i would have an answer for sharon weimer 
who came on number 11 
Would Carolyn Devonshire say i am right on that?
I dont think so not our number five

Then what is it all about?

Should i say its all about the US flag?
If so then thats why  Linda-Marie SweetHeart came on number 6
But what about Robert A. Dufresne who is below 
Vicky Tsiluma a Kenyan?
On that One has P and the other lacks a photo
I got it the former has no photo

So am i right then?


That to be on this list you must not be from Africa?
No at last i disagree with my view 
Because Wilma Neels is on number 38
And…99 Adeleke Adeite 
At least that's kind of fair 
To Africa

So do i have the answer i wanted? 

No. Nott until i went back to my poems
And made a great discovery 
These are the same people 
Who put ink on my poems
These are the people i read their poems
And i curse my mother for feeding me
With pumpkins 

These are the poets we all treasure
The famous 100
who deserve to be on the wall of fame
Even now i guess they are the people 
That will drop comments on This
As others read, get bored and walk a way cursing my master piece
 Not caring about Killing my dreams of becoming 101
I think that's why my all links have that number
101 love poems from Rodgers Roger
Yet i posted an elegy  

These are the book worms
That know punctuation better
And can determine a right type of their poem
These are the ones who never post stuff like  
,./;'' am trying ';./=/

Premium Member Tiara Tears

With trembling hands I tore into my gift
My heart a flutter at what I would find
Out of the box, tiara I did lift
Sent with love from subjects, loyal kind

And nestled there, what else did I espy?
Bejeweled combs to place in raven hair
My eyes filled up with sparkling tears of joy
From sweet and loving words so filled with care

My soul has struggled long to find some peace
At times bereft of strength to carry on
These poet friends have helped to bring release
My heart with tender kindness they have won

So tell me not, my kingdom is not real
Tiara tears proclaim just how I feel

Eileen Manssian Ghali

At times people insinuate that my poetry community is not real. How little they know. I want to thank FJ THOMAS for the poem she posted a while back, “The Kingdom of Ghali,” in which she graciously gave me the title of QUEEN! This was the first step in a process of restoring my faith and confidence in myself.  The next came in the mail a few days ago. What can I tell you? THIS GESTURE MOVED ME BEYOND WHAT WORDS CAN EXPRESS. FJ THOMAS sent me a tiara…and hair combs, to sparkle in my hair and remind me, that though I am going through difficult times, I am a “QUEEN”. In there were greetings from my loyal “subjects”…..Drake Eszes, Richard Lamoureux, Becca Lucas, and Jack Ellison. There were also three letters. My mother on the soup, DONNA JONES wrote a poem that squeezed my heart in the most loving ways ever imaginable. I LOVE YOU, DONNA! Charmaine Chircope send me her love and hugs which just made me glow, and of course, FJ Thomas…the woman behind it all……wrote me  lovely words that will have my heart singing for a long long time. I’m wearing my crown…there…in my photo, but most importantly…I’m wearing it in my heart…FOREVER. It’s good to have REAL friends! HUGS

Premium Member Our Dear Charmaine

Everyone knows our dear Charmaine
From the Mediterranean Isle of Malta
A beautiful lady so loving and gentle
My admiration for her never falters

Charming and sweet are a couple of words
Describing this dear loving soul
I hold my breath till her name appears
Since this ageing heart she stole

Others on the site are sweethearts too
Can't possibly mention them all
But this is all about Charmaine Chircop
That dear sweet Maltese doll

Since the day Charmaine came into my life
The sun has never stopped shining
She fills each day with such joy and kindness
Forever on her love, I'm dining
