With the beat of every footstep
I feel a soothing appreciation.
The physical world around us
Sounds the lessons from creation...
The elements beckon us to note
That we must respect their place.
The forces of nature hold far more
Power than the human race!
The iridescence that dazzles us
On the most unappealing creatures
Beckons an opening of eyes and hearts.
Everything has beautiful features.
The daily musical - the dawn chorus
Beckons spirits to feel more light.
While the birds sing their joyous song,
They too have their fight.
The tiny delicate flowers that grow
In places where they do not belong
Beckons a reflection on how our difference
Makes us beautiful and strong.
In the physical world around us
Everything we smell and touch
Beckons our considering that these gifts
Come from a creator who cares so much.
The joy and pleasure that we feel
Beckons the question, how would life be
If we could not see, hear, taste, smell, touch
In a physical world - without sensory?
For all the splendour of our surround
Without announcement, without fuss,
Beckons our souls to connect with and love
The Physical World Around Us.
midsummer days evoke the trancelike past
where children played in joyous, daisied fields
with buttercups so bright the memory lasts
a freedom that our conscious growth will steal.
those stones and leaves and many coloured flowers
were gathered into images that glow
yet later we forget those treasured hours
when for a while we lived in life’s deep flow
we did not look and see,but felt at one
we lived as did the birds high in the trees
now we see and write yet experiencing has gone
we no longer live like flowers filled with bees
to lose ourselves in nature is a joy
which to our adult selves we must restore
Each poem that is written on these pages
Welcomes the world to an individuals personal stage
We applaud with remarks and ratings to express our liking
Some are exceedingly joyous and intimately inviting
Comments are posted like critics from the New York Times
Everyone can find someone that’s poetry feeds their soul and mind
Contest are done regularly if not everyday
Refreshing our spirits and inspiring our written way
Feedback is given from some of poetry’s best
I can’t think of just one reason so I must simply contest
Aside from being remarkably clever
Poetry Soup allows poets to arise and pursue their future endeavors.

Glimpse cheery chimes, glimpse charming poise;
Echo bold plans, echo fine feel;
Rise to fond times, rise to warm voice;
Move all you can, move with kind will;
Abide in truth, abide in hope;
Impact and see, impact and be;
Now feel life's proof, now sense life's scope;
Etch love surely, etch sure beauty.
Add lovely zest, add lovely choice;
Note precious fest, note peaceful poise;
Dance your fond quest, dance your fine voice.
Merge heart and soul, merge with sure mind;
Indulge fond feel, indulge fine fest;
Touch now makes whole, touch seeks and finds;
Choice prompts reveal, choice moves fond quest;
Heed happy heart, heed joyous mood;
Explore good times, explore warm trends;
Love flings fond start, love springs pure good;
Live sanguine chimes, live poignant plans.

ANGEL'S TOUCH
Did you ever stop to think,
What this angel's touch really mean?
Smiling at you at a flower's blush
Giving you the time to think and hush
When you wanted a melody to hear
She sang you a song in joyous tears
When you badly needed determination;
She is ready to give you inspiration
When only a joke could make you smile;
She flashed it to you in shortest mile
When you wanted a game to play;
She partnered with you in gay
When only an hour you swore to spend;
She wants to be with you until the end
When strings of thorns are poured upon you;
With arms wide open, she welcomed you
She comforted and gave you might
All these all she did with heartfelt delight
Now, I ask you...
Have you ever felt the touch of an angel?

***my first ever poem @ fifth grade elementary.. :D? I was nervous when I posted but am excited and thrilled to see, how many reads it will get and the comments.. :)
Many years ago, I had gone to Pakistan for a poets’ conference.
They call it a “Shaayari Majlis” there.
The behavior of the Pakistanis, their warmth, the depth of their poetry—
again and again, it left me in awe!
Their wounded hearts expressed in lofty words
left me speechless—
they couldn’t hide their deep love for India,
nor their intense sense of grievance...
How is it that among such devout, deeply sensitive people,
terrorists and murderers are born—
that mystery, even today, I haven’t been able to unravel!
Many years ago, I had gone to Bangladesh for a poets’ conference.
The kindness, warmth, and love for poetry of the Bangladeshis
captivated me!
Their joyous hearts voiced vibrant expressions
that thrilled my soul.
Their deep love for Bangladesh,
and the earnest yearning to become like India,
startled me...
How did these open-minded people of Bangladesh
turn into violent communalists and India-haters?
That mystery, too, I haven’t been able to understand even now!
Many years ago, I had attended a rural poetry conference
in Murshidabad, a Muslim-majority region of India.
The behavior of Indian Bengali Muslims—
their hospitality, sincerity, and reverence for poetry—
enchanted me!
Their noble hearts poured out such graceful expressions
that my chest swelled with pride.
Out of love for the poets, the village audience
did not rise from their seats even for a moment!
How did those same noble souls
turn so violent—
that mystery, too, I have not yet been able to solve!
Perhaps I never will be able to solve this mystery...
If I could build a ladder
And place it towards the sky
I'd climb on up to Heavens gate
And look into your eyes
I'd gaze upon your face to save
Your image in my mind
To hear your voice I would rejoice
I've forgotten it with time
But first I'd hold you oh so tight
To feel your warm embrace
To hold you long and not let go
My loss would seem erased
We'd pass the time with stories told
Of what you've missed down here
I'm sure we'd share in laughter loud
And also in some tears
I'm finding comfort in the fact
Of knowing you are fine
It's peaceful there and joyous too
We'll all meet again in time
So down the ladder I must go
For my time is out up there
I'm needed with my family here
Till our time again we share
Don't you dare whisper a warm breath on my shoulder,
Or I might become even yet more, steamy and bolder!
Here~on this intoxicating, Western, autumnal night.
I wish I were, I wish I might, be your amorous slave tonight!
Like a scented, rainbowed candle, joyfully melting into you.
Becoming not one rainbowed glorious person, but a divine two.
A destined, waxing puddle of the most ardent, joyous lovers.
We are autmn’s blessed ones, under moonlit,sweet cloud-covers.
Oh, how divinely close, under the caring eyes of the stars,we are,
Sparkling in the velvet darkness, like bright jewels from planet,Mars!

An empty throne? ~ Part 9
“My queen, we feared we’d lost you so”
The healer said in joyous speech
“When here the shaman does bestow
these wishes that we do beseech”
“What have you done, how can this be,
my broken heart can not withstand
You silly fools, why can’t you see,
this was my choice by my own hand”
“Your majesty, we know so true
these actions, orders from the king
Returning home in search of you
not knowing what the news would bring”
A frightened glance, o’er shoulder pure
“My love,” she rushes to his bed
Now weeping every saddened pour
To find her king now lying dead
“He gave his life so live you would
with every ounce of strength he owned
For from his heart he summoned good
his wish, his queen to stay her throne”
“Oh Knight in armor, promised shown,
why did you not protect our king
So I may sit upon my throne
and worry not of anything”
“Be gone, I need you here no more”
She wept, her face a glistened streak
Then kissed this man she did adore,
when one lone teardrop fell his cheek
“Oh what, I pray, shall come of me,
to feel this shattered heart again”
When the through dampened eyes to see,
Her teardrop glow upon his skin
It shimmered bright in colors grand
like prisms floating on the sky
She reached and took his weathered hand
then saw a flutter in his eye
A warmth did flow his fingertips,
his eyes then opened with a gleam
He pulled her close and kissed her lips
“I love you so my precious queen”
Her breath escaped from deepened fears
with heartbeat movements quivering
She cried again, though happy tears
“I love you too my wondrous king”
The kingdom sang and cheered in glee
A celebration soon had grown
For on this day their King and Queen
Once more did sit upon the throne
The End
