Premium Member I Hate To Admit It

~ Inspired by the likes of Hoplessly Devoted to You ~

The reflection of your beauty are shadows on the wall,
The abstract of your spirit is still standing in the hall,
I know I am a victim of this ghostly fantasy,
I hate to admit it, but your love is haunting me.

I hate to admit it, but you appear wherever I go,
I can't fight the feeling as the magic begins to grow,
The thrill of believing brings a scary urgency,
I hate to admit it, but your love is haunting me.

As I lie here not sleeping somewhere deep in the night,
Your whisper of desire brings a passion of fright,
I can't go on believing as the spirits above agree,
I hate to admit it, but your love is haunting me.

I hate to admit it, but life is running late,
What love has to offer will die throughout the wait,
I must find a way to break this broken heart free,
I hate to admit it, but your love is haunting me.

The Shadow of a Smile 1

kyrielle sonnet

Graduating from college life
in June of nineteen sixty-five,
I recall in music's spotlight -
The Shadow of Your Smile - top-flight.

Departing from four-year friendships,
Some thought that nothing could eclipse
a love affair, they knew was so right -
Shadows of Your Smile at midnight.

On the world's stage, we’re newcomers
We march to different drummers;
All but forgotten, tribute’s slight, 
the Shadow of Your Smile became trite.

What wistful star may shed some light? 
The Shadow of a New Smile might.

Love Me

                     Love me, do not go apart
                     My Dear! Can you hear my heart beat
                    as you sit on your reserved seat
                       of my holy humble heart.
          
           It is neither infatuation not flirt
           but my intense love I conserve
           only and only for you, just observe.
            Please do not stay inert
   
            My love beats vibrate in vigor
            earnestly pulsate in rhythm
            reflect in translucent prism
            of my soul to touch you in rigor.

            My emotive urge on obsession
            oozing amorous nectar
           in hidden dreamy sector
          forming perl of passion

           Speak soft, hold me in arms          
            I can’t bear to get hurt.
       Only love me, My Sweetheart
        with your astounding charms.

Premium Member Farewell To Teppo Gren

This tribute’s to dear Teppo Gren
He supported both women and men
His account’s now deleted
As his friends were mistreated
He will not post on PS again’

To newbies, kind words he was gifting
His comments sincere and uplifting
Now Teppo has left
I feel quite bereft
To pasture’s new he is now shifting

His sonnets were a joy to read
He’s removed them as his blog decreed
I will miss Teppo’s style
And there is no denial
It’s a great loss to PS indeed

Teppo is a man of great integrity and true to his word he removed his poems and deleted his account today. I know he will be greatly missed by many friends he has made on soup over the last 5 years

Premium Member You Are So Adorable

~~~~~~~~Irene~ Panagiota’s Caiico Cat~~~~~~~~~
             
               You’re so adorable!
               Did I ever tell you why,
               You’re so adorable?
               How your gren eyes
               sparkle, never shy.
               You’re so adorable.
               You’re adorable!

               Times when it’s just been
               you and me,
               And I feel truly lost in the
               magic of we.
               Can any being turn off our
               starlight!
               Impossible, love makes the
               world so bright!

Premium Member Grandpa's Autumn

bird songs drift through the tall Autumn trees and
photographs are floating in my mind and conversations echo 
in the deep, crumbling amber gold leaves falling 
an old man with a walker gets into a car with gnarled hands that I love
blanket on lap  magnifying glass  words blurred meaningless  
raging river view with cold waves crashing, remember the pier Grandpa
ahead is the endless winding road to nowhere
I miss you most of all Grandpa when Autumn leaves start to fall
and horses gallop in the changing fields, wild and free
bird feeder on the deck, tweet and twitter, twitter, 
staring for hours, Grandpa where did you go  a little boy fishing off a pier
playing with your leaping dog  hospital bed in living room
at the dining room table   cannot hold the fork    let me help you Grandpa  
sparkling sun on the water   kids jumping off dock   fishing
long ago  echoes    falling red leaves... Grandpa   Grandpa 
water dripping, oh see the rain on the window  blurred fragments  fall apart
gulping for air   cannot breathe  the birds are at the bird feeder  singing
darkness and silence   peacefulness   glittering sun
yes Lord I am ready  . . . . 
empty hospital bed  empty wheelchair   girl weeping at the window
I miss you most of all Grandpa when Autumn leaves start to fall
and horses gallop in the changing fields, wild and free
oh every bird song drifting whispers to me of you

Premium Member Snow Kissed Love

I put my head on my pillow and soon see you,
      Walking in the falling snow all alone, my darling;
Oh- is that our honeymoon cabin that I see,
            Where we shared such love and kisses endlessly.

When I fell in love with you, it was forever,
      Sweet the memory of us walking hand in hand;
The gentle snow falling was whispering our love,
             When I gave you my heart, it was completely.

Just like you darling, I too am lost in the snow,
      I walk a snowy winding path to your tomb;
The falling snow kissing my raven hair and tears,
             And I place a red rose and touch your name.

When I fell in love with you, it was forever,
      I will never give my heart to another, darling;
Wait for me at Heaven's gate-  I will be there soon,
            When I gave you my heart, it was completely.

Bridging the Gap

My sincere thanks to Teppo Gren for bridging the gap and taking time out of his hectic schedule to visit me on his recent visit to Australia from Europe. 

Teppo was one of the very first to welcome me on my debut poem on Poetry Soup, and from thereon in continued to support me with his excellent comments and feedback. 

I really appreciated your encouragement and taking the trouble to get in touch and visit us in Sydney. I look forward to meeting up again on your next trip.  

Miles of endless sands and seas
In today’s times can be travelled with ease
Bridging the gap between family and friends
In a life composed of so many odds and ends
Extend the hand of friendship to proceed
Beautiful friendships are what we need

Premium Member Whisper To Me

 
Whisper to me, my love
And let me hold you to my heart
Remove your veil of death
And come to me the man you were
In my dream we can be
Two lovers till dawn breaks in the sky

Oh, those days when you caressed my hair
Those nights of sultry love

Whisper to me, my love
And let me hold you to my heart
Death cannot destroy this eternal love 
Come and kiss my ruby lips

Oh, those days when we held hands
Those nights of sultry love

Whisper to me, my love
And let me hold you to my heart
Until the first rays of sun above
Now go to your resting place
Fold your arms and listen, my love

Until, I whisper your name again
