Premium Member A Break In the Action

Hello good people here I am
A minor break in the action
Things are relatively back to normal
Almost to our satisfaction

Lost no data, thanks to Poetry Soup
In this age of techie type gadgets
So dependant on a very thin line
Our heads must be thoroughly checked

We think this progress is the cat's meow
Till a link in the chain gets snapped
Then we're up the creek without a paddle
We're never prepared for this fact

Does “scary” take on a whole new meaning
Such a perilous journey we're on
Oh for those good ole days back then
When all that worried us was the bomb

So there you have it, my very good friends
Just a minor break in the action
Things are relatively back to normal
Well almost to our satisfaction

Premium Member Lavish Abundance

Live in the light of fine insight,
Apt the deep dream as foresight plays;
Voice in clear sight that lavish flight,
Ink words that stream such lavish days;
Succinct fond cheer can anchor well,
Heart and soul know a healthy feel.
Ask joy my dear to flavour tell,
Blessings now show a fragrant will;
Urge mind to think upon grand touch,
Nurture the gift to picture wealth;
Dance as you link verge brink as such,
Aim to uplift your precious health;
Now honours here with sanguine reach, 
Choice mellows cheer in gainful niche,
Express most clear love that makes rich.

What choice have we, who seek truth?

             Our bellies never full of blood
shed by those who seek their righteous path.
Kings and conquerors rally our fears, spewing

slogans of falsehood our hearts know will 
never bring
peace.

What choice have we, who seek truth?

              Our bellies never full of promised
gold, arms that wish to link in brotherhood;
forever bound by our
side.

Forced are we, the peacemakers, to enshrine
       the slavemakers of sorrow our hearts know;

will never bring peace.

I say to you, my fellow humans-

"follow your hearts"

and never rest, 'till peace is found.

Mykoll- the Day You Were Born

The day you were born a glowing light shone on our world, you are the link that brought us all together.

With every cry, you made...you brought us back from the cold stormy weather, you broke the war of who's right or wrong and gave us all the will to move on…total happiness was born

We celebrated Christmas in the middle of August, the day you were born

Your grandmother cried, tears of joy 

I felt I gave birth to my own child 

Your mother was speechless when she saw your face 

I don't think we understood what love was until the day you were born ...our miracle came in every smile you made. We all joined our hearts and hands together because you need us more that we needed to be right. You broke the silence that separated us, with just one smile

My beautiful niece...we all know you are the real blessing in our lives, the day you were born ...I love you…you are my child.

Lolita's Logic

Frames of navy night sky sparkle, her glasses
        Reminisce on stricter times, nineteen forty eight
        A generation before Jimmy Hendrix liberation
        Prior to gyrations from tight crotch crooner

        Women without an inheritance would struggle
        Menial jobs taken on, still society frowned upon
        Independence, thus encouragement to link existed
        Father substitutes sought out by sorrowful youth

        Amusing imp, as quick to pout as to smile
        Stirred strangely eroticism with simple antics
        Erratic her dance, alluring her firey tantrums
        Lost in wanting better love, engrossing plight

        Instinct like that of wobbly Bambi stretches limbs
        Sprinkled in Summer lawn abandon, carefree unfurl
        Flicks tiny traumas aside, a childhood culpable
        Absence aches in her chest like necessity

        Little lady of burden smudges beasts with kohl
        Sketches a future of picket fence flowers tall
        Daddy provides sanctum her unheard heart calls for
        Distance dissolves, eloined on island of illegal union

        Bubblegum pop, impatience dressed in playsuit
        Her fickle requirements are infantile outlines 
        Bumps in road don't dislodge her admiration
        Grim portrait rebellion saved for another decade

Premium Member - A Little Bit of Heaven -


Such a romantic place on a beach in Monte Carlo 
Simple little things in life catching one's breath 

Moonlight glinting of waves breaking off a white sandy beach 
Faraway thoughts brown eyes crying in an ocean dream song 

Spell of romance makes one forget the sense of anything 
Silent whispers echoes binding our chain together tides speak 

Do you remember the white doves that followed us along the beaches 
Each link in your arm magic walks closer feelings sing inside a joyous choir enchants 

Nature nurtured by the desire to fulfill dreams makes time stop 
Holds deep sea emotions a galloping white steed races home in warm waves kiss 

The natures mesmerizing perfume of fragrant flowers 
Where destiny paints the joy in butterflies dance on a warm loving breeze 

Such is the passion in the depths of ones soul 
Jewels needle vision flies without wings heaven sings in a spiral coloring rainbows 

No barriers closed no reasons withstand 
The midnight moon shades blue embraced one shadow two become one dream

Premium Member Soul Ties


Another drag... inhale, exhale, inhale, lungs fill with toxic smoke
another sip... fire glides down her aching throat
another croaking whisper to the one beside, although aloof and remote.

She laughs in the face of sorrow, trying in vain to hide behind her eyes
the sound is an open coffin, a high hysterical
 plea filled cry

I imagine she has children, and the sweetness of  love since nothing less can cause such hurt
For what we care for most, are the very things
 we just can't desert

As much as we yearn to dislocate, hide and finally
 push self~destruct
We are bound with soul ties that true love feverishly constructs

Unable to throw off these chains 
connecting soul to soul
We walk about as Marley's ghost, 
each link taking a toll.

For the ties are conducive to nightmares or dreams of lost loves
Imprinted on our hearts and minds, never fully leaving us. 

Whether your Love is unrequited, or Love that stays true
You create the spirits that will forever haunt you.

Premium Member Anaya

Anaya writes the greatest stanza
and she’s won many a bonanza
	my link to her is broken
	with PS I have spoken
It’s hard for me to understanza!

Every comment that I write
is always met without delight
	desirous that she knows
	my admiration flows
my lack of comment is no slight.

It’s been several months now
but on and on I will plow
	I will never give up
	I will keep trying, yup
PS may yet deliver the cow.
	
So Anaya if you read this
please know that I am not remiss
	if ever I get through
	and post a note to you
hope I get a hit, not a miss!

The dreaded message with which I am now so familiar:

The Key

The Key

Ever have a day or moment you knew was
 a milestone? A day you Felt as a person that
 you had moved on? Today was that day for 
me.
Fredy's apartment key was still on my car
 keys. I brought them everywhere, even 
though He died five years ago, We were
 together eight years ago.
I just couldn't bare to remove them. To me,
it meant removing Him or somehow removin
 his memory.  A link.  
The keys meant he had lived . Proof. Proof
 I was part of his existence. And him, part
 of mine.  No matter how grim the end was.  No matter the face I looked upon that day he was alive, no more.  Me, in Love still. 

Today, at the nursing home, I had a very
 confused but grateful patient. 
In fact, he reminded me a lot of my 
grandfather. 
Although very happy & in the moment, he 
often worry about his lost house keys.
 He was perseverating on his keys today, 
again, unable to focus on anything else 
during rehab. "My  Keys!"  he shouted,
  "God, I had keys now I will have to buy 
more!"  It was all he focused on again and
 again the whole hour.
Remembering my spare, I ran to my bag, 
removing Freddys apartment key. Why 
do I need this? I asked myself.  These keys
, to me, mean nothing but death and 
sadness. As I pulled the green top piece off 
of them, I saw an anonymous key emerge. 
The key that meant nothing to me, that 
would help and anxious, lost and dying man.
After all, Fredy was beyond help. Now Fredy was gone. But, I could use these to help others. He would want me to. It's time I 
realized that.
As I zipped the key into the old man's pocket
, his frown turned to a large smile
"Thank you you kind lady. You have eased my pain. Now I have my key. Now I am happy. I can get into my house and return
 to my family." He smiled warmly, grabbing
 my hand. 
He slouched back in his wheelchair with 
a smile, finally calm. 

I knew that the patient would not go home.
But, why not ease a worried mind with this 
key. The key that seems to be always 
tormenting him. Perhaps, we are both the 
same. Perhaps it is I who should thank 
him. Thank him for relieving me of my 
sadness.

(Dedication: For my grandson Axel Caleb)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Dear curious child
Dare wonder wild


Grow well in truth
Let love set proof


Act with clear heart
Poise helps you start


Listen and learn
Grow and discern


Use your time well
Let your life tell


Go on your way
Grace guides each day


Dream bold and bright
Set your soul right


Dare to dream big
Enjoy life's figs


Joy dwells with ease
Hope tells of peace


Feel what you think
Forge a grand link


Be as the breeze 
From sneeze to squeeze


Live faith and hope
Seize love's wise scope


Child of these times
Sketch your own rhymes


Be as a child
Run free and wild


Each end a start
For your life's art
