Shimmering Darkness

She woke up everyday 
to the beckoning of death's toll. 
But decided to embrace life, 
pulling herself from the darkened hole. 

With a new brightness in her eyes, 
she lived life as partially buried gold. 
Never afraid of the darkness, 
or what the future may hold. 

Shimmering beneath the dirt, 
her beauty shall now unfold. 
True legacy lies hidden to reign, 
for a prodigy has risen from bitter cold. 

One example of grace goes far, 
farther then any story ever told. 
With strength that comes from deep within, 
that's been held from days of old. 

Among the majority she lived, 
witnessing atrocities flare. 
From her soul she would always give, 
though no one seemed to care. 

As the bells of sadness began to ring, 
she would rise above the gloom. 
Out of darkness and despair she would sing, 
with a melody that filled the room. 

The tears that had fallen proved as strength, 
to her ever-impending light. 
Onward traveling to any length, 
for what she believed was right. 

When darkened paths shimmer, 
despite the pangs of apathy, 
through life she will always glimmer, 
no matter what the tragedy.

Premium Member - How I See You Dan -

Once upon a time ....
A little boy was born
He cried when he was born
as most babies do
It was a nice little boy
named Dan

He was born into an ordinary family
Mother, father, siblings, grandma and grandpa
Soft blankets and a crib to sleep in
Unfortunately, not always real life as an adventure
Family life was not a bed of roses

The boy Dan got a new mother and father
A hard time for a young boy
Feelings of betrayal and loneliness
But he got much love of his new family
As the years went by he accepted his life

His teenage years, I will not say much about
Dan was like most young people
Most often kind and helpful
but also a little naughty as boys are
Looked after the girls and went happily to a party

At the end of his life as a teenage he had a special
eye for a pretty girl, who later became his faithful wife.
They were so young both of them, but their hearts had decided.
One day they gave each other: "YES, I WILL"

November 2011 I met Dan
Yes, I met him here in P-Soup
He was one of my first friends here
Always a smile, nice and caring
I was looking forward to his word


We have become "f.e.f." - Forever friends!
Dan is a man who allows himself to be sensitive
Yes, he can even cry
Thoughtful, afraid of hurting others' feelings
He likes a little flirt .... but loves his wife

Dan and I traveled together to the "Land of Happiness"
in the words of the poem, rhyme of course
Dan is the expert on the rhyming (I'm hopeless)
A poem from Dan to me, hanging on my wall with ribbon on

If I mention the word: Pizza .... I think it is more
than me who knows it, he LOVES pizza!!
However, he HATES to shovel snow
Dogs are man's best friend, just ask Dan
Have a beer and a weekend trip with the guys
  is also something he appreciated

Dan you are good as gold and it is not bull****
I love you as my dear friend
Wishing you all the best
A big hug from me to you: "f.e.f." !!

Insistant Fires

A collaboration with Dan Kearley
Thanks for writing with me! : )

Feelings that we sometimes feel, 
can be bound in ties that bind. 
Flaming heart felt insistent fires, 
kept hidden that no one else can find. 

As you look at yourself in the mirror, 
are you pleased with who it is you see? 
Is this the person you had set out to become, 
or a stranger who longs to be set free? 

To truly live is to never hold back, 
let your passion be a guide to your way. 
Find that spark that let's you live, 
by taking action into the light of a new day. 

You will find your true purpose and the meaning of life, 
if you trust the inner voice, you have hidden inside. 
Never give up, laugh, and learn to forgive, 
then you will realize, it's a gift to just live.

I`ve got a good friend
                                 one that is easy to understand
                                       and who understand me

                                    When the day is sad and fed
                                 my advice is: try and understand
                                   offer comfort and give a smile

                                      Tomorrow is another day
                                         what is sad and sorry
                                     gets a little easier tomorrow

                                       A friendship that has not
                                      obligations or expectations
                                      a friendship that has only
                                  warms thoughts and kind words

                                                A friend asks:
                                           How was your day?
                                             Are you all right?
                                      Sharing thoughts and ideas

                                           A friend who sleeps
                                               when I get up
                                        because I live east and
                                      he lives west on our globe

                                        Thank you for being my
                                                 friend Dan
                                          Today I will send you
                                                 a BIG hug.

Changing the World

Among its existing old leaves of the mango tree
Arrived fresh flowers in early February

At dawn everyday
Bare gay soles at walk felt tiny granules
A pleasurable scent greeted them on their way

Soon little mangoes came out
Tiny green shapes stout
Adorning the same old and pale green leaves
Dust laden shabby grief

Nature doesn’t like the mismatch
Even the hatching birds hated
The striking disparity and protested
In their confused call
The ball moved on to rise and fall

One fine morning comes out
Sprouting in a soft green rhythm
In the spirit of communism
A small bouquet of velvet like leaves
Then another bunch and then another 
Slow but steady goes on the development
Beautiful symmetry in the canopy

The mangoes are now
In their way from green to greenish yellow
From hard toward mellow
As we all yellow
The leaves are now combination of old and new
Nature dislikes the imbalance and disproportion
Brings up green leaves very fast
Worthy of gazing and learning
Soon the whole tree
Will be evenly green in spree
Of equity

Had our rulers and policy makers
seen and learnt also
The intrinsic principle of aesthetics
To each according to his need
For a balanced growth
Instead of the incurable wounds of poverty
We are loath to accept
And fruitlessly regret

We are mere spectators in the hall
The ball moves on to rise and fall

Destiny's Ecstasy

You may find destiny's ecstasy, that you searched for all your days 
Cut free from your bonds of sorrow,and sadness burnt up in a blaze 
For when the ashes and fog arise,happiness reveals its ways 
The familiar face in the mirror, will be happy with your gaze 

To stay on course in life you must keep the right frame of mind 
Think not only of yourself but of the others you may find 
Look at yourself as a stranger that you've met for the very first time 
Notice the sadness,and sorrow that you keep hidden away inside 

Hard enough as it is, you've got to just pull yourself upright 
For some circumstances in daily life, are hard to see in light 
Sometimes you have to look into a mirror,and focus with all your might 
To see what you may find hidden within,takes so much more than sight

*Collab with Dan Kearley  Thanks for the opportunity, Dan! 8) Twas fun..*

Premium Member Make Me Cry

Make me cry

Since long you chose to stay away,
It's tough for me to tolerate betray,
In sleep at nights I have cried,
My subtle desires having belied,

Friends forever you had promised,
Brightness of life very soon eclipsed,
How long will I have to repent,
Broad smile on face, now I pretend,

Tears that once flooded my eyes,
Now just an empty stare in the sky,
Once that was an emotional outburst,
Now as if a slowly simmering curse,

Shocked and spellbound, yet hopeful,
Mind ponders on having lost magnetic pull,
Silent sorrow, not a tear from dry eye,
Requite my love, make me loudly cry !

Premium Member Time For Change

Firstly, I would block all computer pop ups
Because they drive poor Dan quite mad …
But remember Poetry Soup get an income
So if they disappear PS would be pretty sad!

I would prescribe sunny days for everyone
Because they brighten up dull times in our life
But we still need refreshing showers of rain
To rejuvenate our wonderful world again

I pray a cure would be found for cancer
And every other medical condition too
People would enjoy a long and healthy life
I hope it’s a dream that can come true 

Poverty, terrorism and war would cease to exist
Sadly these issues are down to the human race
I pray we can all live in peace and harmony 
And one day our earth will be a better place

Premium Member Good Education For All Kids

Good education for all kids would be
my way to change the world for everyone
because without this opportunity,
the world can never change. Can it be done?
Can people see past sex and race to give
all children education? Without it,
we’ll keep declining! How can we all live
with ignorance? Our kids will take the hit!
If we teach care of our environment,
awareness of each problem, and its cure,
I think we’ll see our dollars wisely spent,
especially when we educate the poor.
To see the end of social ills on earth
we must give education greater worth.

- Land Of Happiness -


 When our hearts met, a star was born in a land of happiness
 In this land you are the king, and I am the queen
 We live with delight in loves sweet harmony
 Ruling the land as the passionate dream team

 It has beautiful flowers and luscious fruit trees
 With clear blue skies and air free from disease
 Golden meadows with clear flowing streams
 And flower scented air that floats in the breeze

 The sky at the night is filled with a multitude of stars
 As I look at them all I see the one that is ours
 It warms my heart, and brings a smile to my face
 With you in this land of happiness, there is no greater place




It's hard to understand
that a friend who was so alive
is not among us anymore
Dear Dan :
I hope you found
the "Land Of Happiness"
        R.I.P.
