Premium Member Leo the Lion

I'm Leo the Lion, I am, I am
From the mystical world of the Astrology
I'm generous, strong and warmhearted
That's if you believe in symbology

Not making this up, check it out
Masculine, positive and extroverted
If I listen too carefully, my head will swell
Which should definitely be averted

My wife suggested widening the doorways
Or I might severely injure my brain
Methinks my honey's being a bit facetious
But I love her a bunch just the same

I'm Leo the Lion, I am, I am
Just a fun loving guy who enjoys life
They also say I'm very broad-minded
Love broads but don't tell my wife!

Leo

Glorious cats of the Sun 
They strive to be number one
They live for recognition 
To be the best by definition

The most generous of them all 
No favor is too big or small 
They’re loyal to their tribe
Their love’s hard to describe

They love their mane
They can’t be tamed 
Big hearts of gold 
They’re regal and bold

Even in the night
They’re in the spotlight
Flattery makes these kitties purr 
They love compliments for sure

One thing that you can’t ignore
Is when you hear these lions roar
They’ll charm you like never before
They’ll have you melting on the floor

These felines already won 
After all is said and done
These are the cats of the sun
They’re most loved by everyone

Premium Member Secret Pocket

A boy named Leo, with hair of yellow sun,
Stood on a path when autumn had begun.
His jacket, blue as skies on a clear day,
Held a secret pocket, hidden away.
The air was crisp, the world a golden haze,
A perfect backdrop for these wondrous days.

His boots, well-worn and scuffed a dusty brown,
Had walked through fields and every part of town.
He reached a hand inside his coat, so deep,
And pulled a treasure from its magic sleep.
A vivid red ball, a perfect, bouncy sphere,
Then shiny pebbles, crystal-like and clear.

Next came a feather, from a bluebird's wing,
A silver key, a strange and ancient thing.
A tiny soldier, standing straight and tall,
He answered to a silent, unheard call.
A skipping stone, so smooth and grey and flat,
A yellow lollipop, how sweet was that.

A picture of a girl with a brilliant smile,
He gazed at it for quite a long, long while.
A seashell, listening to the ocean's sound,
Though miles of land were all that could be found.
And last of all, a leaf of maple bright,
A perfect star of red and golden light.

His pocket, empty, yet it gave and gave,
A magic trick, a wondrous, happy wave.
And Leo smiled, with pockets full of dreams,
On that beautiful day, or so it seems.

Premium Member Loyal Leo

This is what I hear is written in the stars
Leo's are supposed to be loyal
Well this guy's a Leo and will vouch for that
Also happy and playful and joyful

Would never think of cheating on Cathie
It's never ever crossed my mind 
Always an example of a true loyal Leo
Trust is how our marriage is defined

Opportunities have risen to test my resolve
But I still remain loyal to the core
Temptation can become a very strong a factor
To weaken would be easy to be sure

We must always remember our solemn oath
Standing in front of the preacher
To love one another till death do us part
Absolutely nothing could be any sweeter

Premium Member Astrology's Big Twelve

Aries must learn danger with their own toddler test.
Taurus grasp emotions from the feel in their chest.
Geminis wish for words hearers clearly digest.
Cancers thrive in a neat, loving family nest.
Leos strive to lead infused with praise about their best.
Virgos shelve their dreams for duties that sternly pest.
Libras view couple love as perfect life's peak crest.
Scorpios forget naught, hiding all in mind's vest.
Sag needs outdoor adventure per their soul’s request.
Capricorns need for perfection is not a jest.
Aquarians hear their own drum and march with zest.
Pisces bear any news without shock or unrest.

Premium Member A Loyal Leo

This is what I hear written in the stars
Leo's are supposed to be loyal
Well this guy's a Leo and will vouch for that
Also happy and playful and joyful

Never think of cheating on dear wifey-poo
It's never ever crossed my mind 
Always an example of a true loyal Leo
Trust is how our marriage is defined

Opportunities have risen to test my resolve
But I still remain loyal to the core
Temptation can become a very strong factor
To weaken would be easy for sure

We must always remember our solemn oath
Standing in front of the preacher
To love one another till death do us part
Absolutely nothing could be sweeter

Pope Leo XIV

A Cry to the Vicar of Christ

On the eighth of May—
in the year the world was wounded—
white smoke rose,
and the Spirit whispered:
Leo XIV.

Not a crown,
but a cross.
Not glory—
but Gethsemane.

Go now,
Holy Father,
to Gaza,
where God bleeds quietly
under shattered mosques.

A child cries without sound.
A mother digs without grave.
Hope is ash.
Peace is myth.
And still—
your hands are clean.

Go to the sons of empire—
tell them:
No more prayers dipped in petrol.
No more justice from jets.
No more peace purchased with pain.

And to Israel,
tell Benjamin:
God is not your sword.
He is your witness.

Every Palestinian child
is a gospel we’ve burned.
Every mother,
a Madonna without her Christ.

Go also to Congo. Sudan. Libya. Ukraine.
Do not wave.
Do not preach.
Walk.
Bleed.
Kneel.

Did you not hear Romero,
when the soil sang blood in El Salvador?
The Church was never meant
to hide behind stained glass.

Let the Vatican strip gold from its bones.
Let the cassock gather dust.
Let the Pope
become a man.

For when Pope Francis passed,
he whispered:
“Reality is more than ideas.”

And Gaza is real.
God weeps there still.

Let history write,
not of sermons,
but of a man in white
who saved God
in Gaza.

Premium Member Ode to Leo

(Leo - our cat's name)

Dear Leo, this verse is about you!
It's being shared not out of the blue
He is the morning person of all
But he doesn't require a rooster's call

He likes going for a morning walk
Of course; only up to kitchen block
He gets delighted to stirring sound
And responds if he's in and around

He takes a stance by arching its back
And displays his prudence to attack
Wise enough to show his intention
Follows on to catch our attention

He does give no scope to any mess
He never takes food less or excess
Our casual talks filled with his bites
We feel proud to share all those highlights

Decodes signs like a flawless scanner
Wins hearts with an elegant manner
He always appears to be composed
With great love, the best of him disclosed

Leo Kate Rose and Jack 2

Cutting a path

Along a railroad track

Through desert grass

With no scenery at all

Apart from passing a
barren dry oasis

Because everything else is 
nothing but dunes and sand 
as far as the eye can see

That and the odd bit of
desert grass

Accompanied only by the clickady
clack of a railroad soundtrack
beating metronome through
my brain

And still no station whence to stop

Still no crossroad to crossover

No conductor to click or
check i had a ticket bought

Nor even a driver aboard to 
steer this direction less train

Worst of all where it's going

Where this train's journey
came from began

Or is eventually supposed to
terminate

What it's e.t.a is or even if
it is predestined to arrive at all

For all i know i just may well
be without my knowledge aboard

The land locked locomotive 
equivalent 

Of the unsinkable shipwreck 
now infamously referred to as
simply

Titanic

And on further inspection
according to the official
passanger manifesto 

This ghost train heading head long
into the most desolate of desert

Has exactly the same number
of soul's on board

As it's doomed sister ship

And come to think of it
most eerily of all is today's 
date is in fact

Thursday
15 April 2012

100 year's to the day the
month the year the second on

A so called girl named
Rose and boy called Jack
apparently met

And drowned hopelessly in love
till death
