Long Soother Poems

1.

Our blessing, our son, our family clown
The cracker of jokes, the soother of strife
Takes it all in, teaches us to slow down
Although he bungee jumped straight into life

Yes, when he’s ready, he can move so...

and I would let it all out.
I knew that my heart was too fragile to carry such burden around,
and now I witnessed such a phase...

Give it some time,
It is too early.
The wicked world
Will show its glory.

With its sweet demeanour,
It welcomes you all.
She shows its dark,
When you respond to its call.

It decimates the fallen
With it’s sweet chirp.
Its devours its beings
With...

I'd like to help if you've a troubled heart
There's someone out there who's willing to share
All life's anxieties, miseries and cares.

A heart truly broken is a heart that...

To my children she is mother
bringer of life,
giver of love,
sculptor of minds,
painter of dreams,
the calmer, 
the soother,
the rock…

Holding them through the tears
of mistakes done,
when dreams won’t come,
when milestones are won.
Inspiring them to begin,
to reach the...

my skin is the color of a mellow yellow
Amber given from African trees
my eyes dark brown are like those of an ancient egyptian queen
my lips are as soft as the petal of a rose and...

So many gaps are getting bigger by the day,
The gap between the rich and those that are not rich,
The gap between the famous and the infamous,
The gap between the generous and the not so generous,
The...

The daytime radiation changed the forenoon breeze
And the windows were kept close
Flames hemmed in my room from the furnace terrasse
Brought my afternoon snooze at dispose. 

Abounded myself from my brazier bed and stepped on the...

You taught me to walk with  full prepare

You held my hand and made me get up

In the tranquil aura of a tropical clime
An idyllic scene, serene, pacific, sublime,
As paradisal souls basked in gold auspicious.
In peace, placid, prosperous, and prodigious.

There stands a sedate, an ethereal being.
It's a serene,...

Place your hand on this desperation
And save this dying soul
Don't take me into the wilderness: Don't let me survive
Crucify me, but don't call me Jesus
I am the soul that has refused to die
Thanatos, my body,...

IN  THE  ARMS  OF  MORPHEUS

Sing a sleeping-song to listening bundle in my arms:
Large dark pools,  pupils’ unblinking gaze.
He sees in me what I saw in my mother.
Eye-bonded, soother sucked harder...

Searching for a Lover
one that is a hugger, a laugher
one that won't make me
madder, sadder,
or even balder
one that's not
a pouter or a schemer
one that is a soother, a spooner
even a squealer
not a faker, a stalker,
or...

Underestimated 


Oh my love 
Deeper than seas,
You have underestimated,
My dreams so subtle
You have denied,
Crushed my desires,
Soul badly bruised,

Oh my love 
Clearer than sky,
You have underestimated,
My yearnings so pure
You have ignored,
Subdued my emotions,
Soul lies shattered,

Oh my...

A white gem shining in the black sky
A round beauty with a cool light
With a power to make us relax and rest

A wait for a fortnight to view the nature’s craft
In every angle it’s a...

THE GRANDMA RAMP

My daughter handed him to me and ran out the door without instructions.
It’s been thirty years since I’ve been this close to a cat-like scream.

The bottles hang down like bats, perky nipples and...

Spring !   The clip shot out:
Empty now of rounds and clout
Waiting for the next, for 
Me to load the killing rounds,
The equalizers, bullets shot
Through steel

Spring!       I sit...

The panic is just out of sight
And so I'm not being nice
Though I'm doing nice things
I feel terrible that I want to run
Maybe everyone who's ever soothed me
Wanted to be somewhere else too
I don't know,...

An apprehensive Amy
Births baby Bob
Carefully cradles cries
Dons dry diapers
Emanates endless emotions
Fraught frantic fears 
Grateful glad greetings  
Huge happy hugs
Innate intuition increases
Joyful jaded journey 
Key kind kin
Learner loving lavished 
Must make money 
Nurturing new needs
Oceans...

Daylight




For want of words of passion,
the face that turned ashen,
Emotions fuming and stifling cries,
what for she is paying a price?

Brilliant craft with a soft heart,
tuning perfect even if put apart,
Give her the due, fairer and...
