Premium Member The Sorrow In and of Poetry

When Broken Hearts, spill their Tears, Emotions, Quiver in my Quill
I Remember, after all these Years, Our First Kiss My Heart feels “Thrill”

Before Sorrow came and destroyed my Heart. I remember “The Golden Pen”
A combined Imagination of “POETRY”, set Apart, an Archive to be opened- WHEN??

Tranquility : Why do YOU hide from my Heart?? “ The Sorrow in and of POETRY “
Why do YOU sever , The Soul, I know I will be with “LENORE” for the Eons of " FOREVER "

Dedicated in LOVING MEMORY of “ L E N O R E “ , My LIFE, My WIFE, My ETERNITY
                                                             To Be Cont.

Premium Member A Haunting Love

My biggest fear; is to have my LOVE known as a Haunting LOVE
                  An ambiguous, fearful, unfaithful, ominous LOVE
      Shadows, Silhouettes of the past; screaming  for TRUE LOVE
      Searching the darkness, the emptiness a giant void of despair
      My BELOVED GOD My BELOVED SAVIOR blind LENORE’S
      Eyes with YOUR Universal Light the Brilliance of YOUR GLORY
      Silence HER Ears with the Muic of YOUR VOICE : Prayer and Psalms
      Envelope LENORE’S HEART WITH YOUR AGAPE LOVE
                MY DEAREST and Most  Only BELOVED : LENORE
      May Y O U  NEVER, EVER Know A HAUNTING LOVE

Premium Member The Heart of a Poet : Speaks ( Part 1 )

Hello , POETS and POETESSES : as my host would say
 I have been asked to speak in his stead take it as you may
 Like many other Hearts I have known infatuation and Love
Of course I know only of my host’s Love, blessed by God above

I remember his eyes first beheld Her auburn hair, emerald eyes
I leapt, fluttered uncontrollably I never felt warmer : Closer to YOU
Every time my host even thought about LENORE ( LOVE at Sunrise?)
I would receive a Heavenly shower Of  Blessings and Glory  LOVE YOU 

When  it was time to write a POEM for his Beloved LENORE “I raced”
 I learned  to speak to my host : suggestions Clarity he would listen to me
 And I would take the LOVE of his POEMS and bury it deep within  my Soul
 Using Love as  nourishment , strength,  the  Knowledge of ETERNAL LOVE

 The most Wonderful Day  I Eternally Remember : August 25, 1971
The day my host Married his Dearest Most Only Beloved “ L E N O R E “
I was up early Beating in a panicky, Frantically, Sort a way:  I’ve never done 
It was a Beautiful day in the Blue Carribean Sky mirrors ocean mirrors Sky

 Author's Note : This could be a four part POEM or it can end here I will ask for YOUR
Comments to decide Beating for YOU :A POET'S HEART

The Lonely People

Who remembers
  songs and stories once told
of a life lived brave, solitary embers,
  loud or quiet, shy yet bold
and everybody laughs and everybody cries
 and everybody hurts to live or die.

The names unimportant now, slip unnoticed into time
 where passages of love are lost in emptiness, 
bridal gowns stored now yellowed and faded like wine
 promises never made, promises never kept 
and no one sees, no one cares, no one dares,
 all the dreams and hopes lost to memory unspared, 
forgotten people another one among so many.

Like Alice through the looking glass
 hiding down the rabbit hole
lost in the darkened silence and its sound passed
 where Eleanor Rigby swept away her soul
the petals of the dream in imaged visions fade
 of what could be but never was, never there
save the lonely people, those lonely people here.

A masquerade of faceless figured bodies on parade
 shadows of the earth's twilight hours
living for the moment, erased and betrayed
 denied their place in time and hold on power
Eleanor named only here, like Poe's lost, Lenore
 never to be remembered, brief, forgotten, evermore.

Premium Member The Heart of a Poet Speaks - Part 5

Dear POETESSES and POETS of POETRY SOUP; I plead of You not to tell my Host I am speaking with You. It has been a long time since I last spoke and I was
 coerced to say what my host wanted me to say. Today I will say things about my
 host that You may want to reprimand me for. Just know that I am speaking to
 Your Hearts; as one Heart can see, feel, and hear another Hearts pang. I have had corroded artery surgery twice two strokes and a stent put in, within the last
 two years. I am not looking for Pity or Sympathy, I'm looking for understanding 
My Host has one Heart but two souls. One Soul belongs to Lenore completely. I have Pumped, through the many sorrows my host has kept inside himself for all 
these years. The second Soul is also born of Love, for the Restaurants,his Students, 88% ended up working in 5 Star Restaurants, Resorts, and Hotels. My
host is waking: More Tomorrow!

I think how different my life would be, If I were YOU and You were me
Could I live a happy life? could YOU live without YOUR WIFE
I'd live each day : thoughts of tomorrow,YOU would live in yesterday's sorrow
In yesterday's pain, in yesterday's agonyI'd be living for my Family
                I'd love my wife, my daughters, my sons
I feel the warmth of the sun : I'd hear the symphony of the rain
I smell the aroma of the RosesI'd feel the thorns but not the pain
YOUR pain would be forever Your Dreams are of YOUR wife LENORE
YOU see her in the clouds, You feel her softness in the petals of a rose
               Her fragrance still wafts through YOUR nose
My Heart would beat for the Love I know ; LOVE will follow wherever I go
I'd savor the LOVE I find in my Heart knowing such LOVE will never depart
You would wait for YOUR last Breath ; YOUR Broken Heart would welcome Death
I think ; However we cannot change Detiny. So YOU be YOU And I'll be me
                                  I'll meet YOU in ETERNITY
