I wondered whether or not God was talking to me
again, I was asked for a line that would 'make things easier'
a line that would make things easier, I pondered on it
but this time it was a line with a twist
the line had to hint towards betrayal
and pain
and growth
the line had to be sweet
but cunning
the line had to be gentle
but pierce the ears of whoever heard it
a line
essentially about things that are extremely complicated, and ever so painful
I thought to myself
and for whatever reason the crowd sat up
in anticipation, waiting for me, the amateur
to speak
to share the few lines that I had in mind (this was only my second night at this bar)
I called the poem "Carpentry"
and I went on to say
"I trusted the carpenter
with the tasks of Carpentry,
silly her, silly me"
the crowd rumbled
"You and I grew old sitting under this tree,
remember when we carved our names in the bark?"
the crowd went wild with whistling, applause, and demanded a few lines more
(to be continued)
Four Billion years or thereabouts
Earth has orbited its appointed place
Slowly and surely developing into
A safe and hospitable living space
What a strange year this has been
Year Two Thousand and Twenty Two
You seem to have bern so long passing
And I’m so glad to see the back of you.
A year of invasion and Warfare
Of bullies flexing their might
Seeming secure in their belief
That might alone is right.
A year of political spectres
Of crooks, spivs and ghouls
Carelessly showing to the world we
Are lead by blatant self seeking fools.
The greedy and avaricious seem
To want, and take, more and more
Leaving even less for the peasants
To fight and grub for off the floor.
The rich man in his castle still,
Security light and guard at his gate,
More and more decrying the excesses
Of the battered remnant Welfare State.
So goodbye twenty twenty two
Heaven only knows what we’ll see,
More of the same and worse I think, when
They usher in year Twenty Twenty Three.
Four thousand years give a century or two
That’s just about as long as it’s taken
For man to abuse Earth’s delicate balance
And leave it stunned and badly shaken
In simple terms
Two sides greet;
Forge a new script
~~~~~~~~~
Two Chinas meet
Singapore Saturday;
November seventh
~~~~~~~~~
Face to face
On neutral grounds;
Sculpt new trends
~~~~~~~~~
A sanguine talk
To forge ahead;
To heal old wounds
~~~~~~~~~
Positive moves
To set bold sights;
To build anew
~~~~~~~~~
History comes around
In one sure act;
New ties bring smiles
~~~~~~~~~
Less haze, more sun
To guide the way;
By Shangri-la's verge
~~~~~~~~~
Global news
Event highlights;
New chapter starts
~~~~~~~~~
Cross-Straits moves
In simple stance;
Two brothers dance
~~~~~~~~~
Red-dot moment
History's brief tryst;
All looks good
~~~~~~~~~
Fine Saturday here
Sparks a new quest;
Peace and progress
~~~~~~~~~
Beginnings start
Step by step;
With willing parties
~~~~~~~~~
Hope speaks
Empathy knows;
Peace transits here
~~~~~~~~~
The Middle Kingdom
And Taiwan talk;
Brisk moments stroke
~~~~~~~~~
Cheers to goodwill
To come to terms;
Make all things new
~~~~~~~~~

The heart fades with the end
of two thousand and fourteen
I did so want to waltz - dance away
this last two thousand and fourteen day.
You, in my arms, closing the door
on another year – 2014, gone for evermore.
There comes a time – sometimes –
when words in ones rhymes
sets free the human spirit,
lets the ghostly past slip past it,
it’s chains that have bound tightly
the soul, to precious moments - rightly
or wrongly - that live in the light of a rainbow.
This, only a true heart, true love, comes to know.
Moments that most, seldom come to experience,
seldom, smell the roses, intimately know their fragrance,
seldom, or never find it easy to tough down,
seldom on bend and knee, reach up, kiss the ground.
Lucky !!! – I have touched the edges of this state.
Forever lasting – never to be my fate.
That has been the journey,
living it has seemed an eternity.

Me and the dance floor don't really get along, but she made me want to tango
So, against my introverted instincts I approached her with half a cup of confidence and the other half nerves
Only to let my lips reach for the words, may I have this dance
A pause of one second turns into one minute before my ears are kissed by a yes
Then we walk on a waterbed for the first couple of steps before dancing on the clouds next to a bed of roses
Pocket full of Posey's
I don't suppose we could let this cupid shuffle continue into the next song
Because I can sense some chemistry, forgive me if I'm wrong
It wasn't my best class in school
I'm the type that likes to let creativity rule
And the right side of my brain is thinking of you the perspective of the left
After the end of the second song, she left
Nothing but a heavy impression on me was left
What's your number is the only question left
So, I turned around and looked to my left
But she was gone
p.s. what a lovely night...
sumthymes we loss direction
I might be saying, a little
too much now
but sumthang I wanna say
and I want you to understand
never been much
of a lover
and I aint much of a man
I'm a two timing brutha
sum say I'm a ladies man
when my wife loses interest
I have sum one
who cares for me
she treats me unkind
but the other one's real
good to me
sum say half a woman
is better than no woman
at all
four half's makes two wholes
I'm a glutton who
want's it all
time and time again
I seem to make these mistakes
speak to my lover
like she's my friend
I get disappointed
and start lookin around
like an ole dog
look at what I've found
no shame in my game
I'm a two timing fool
can't disappoint one
see they know the rule
if one knew the other
it would be a surprise to me
two timing
lower than a snakes belly
common dog you see
With light might they sparkle
Karst Experiments which labors and
Chores
Might there mindfulness to produce
For who adores
Folk of value to stem and stern
Together in the name of science which
Lessons learned.
They wanted to create
A stone
A beautiful stone
One to make
Competiters envy.
Envy them into a submissive
Shame.
Might there works then be
Centered around the needs
of people.
Crush the Ego's of egotistical
Men
To stimulate a means of ways to
approach.
Using dissolved carbon they
Wished to create a colorful stone.
They thought using an abundance of
Layered colors from natural materials
The could create something.
The used a still like the one's moonshiners
Used. They disstillated colorful flowers, berries,
Mixed with dissolved clear quarts and carbon.
A super gelitan would allow the colored layers
To form the structure, should the
Blackberries come out black, should the pine berries
Come out white, the blueberries blue, the tulips red
Or purple, or pink, or yellow. The green stems and peels
Needed to be green, all shades of green.
They would layer these thick layers of gelatinous stones
So they could fuse and dehydrate into a solid stoned material then cut and polished to create gems for an inspired world. If this success was made the next experiments would be gold, platinum or silver.
This they prayed and prayed and prayed!
Wolves were wandering all alone
At home
On a Sunday AM morning
Goodies empty in their storing
Feeling pretty dandy
But there was this craving for candy
Calling to deliver toffee
Thinking it would be grand with tea or coffee
Having a bout that is diagnosed as the blues
Everton thought this visit would be easy and cool
Dressing the part to be a muse
Everton arrived at the Wolverhampton field
Ready to honor the business deal
Before they decided to rest
A foul was committed wanting a confess
Goal awarded after the arrest
Penalty shot scored due to contacting play was a mess
When they returned from the break
Another toffee the Wolves did take
Followed by one more
No need to buy any toffee inside the convenience store
Three nil was how it ended
Table jumping wolves worthy to be commended
Aston’s property now must be defended
Royals from the Eagle state
Made a date
With Aston to tell him ‘wait’
“You have not gone under
Buzzing west hams could still blunder”
“Do you have a plan you’re royal highness?”
Aston Asked with kindness
“I will give you two
The rest is up to you”
King Glazier did explain
About Aston keeping his villa in the high profile game
Three points appeared
Creeping closer claret and blue army got near
Being told nothing to fear
Blowing bubbles
Seeing no trouble
West Hammy United buzz was all secure
But are they sure
One could be shown the door?
Oooh, Andrea, can we take a walk,
because my time is passing
and we need to talk.
Seems the days grow shorter
when the ice melts in
And we don't know if we're gonna fall in.
But there's a place we can go
the same old yard we both know.
And the rivers are divine,
you can love the world...anytime.
Oooh Andrea, we need a break
withe people rushing, I can't slip in
But if I hold you close, then I know
we'll make it to the next show.
And I will be with you
and both of us can't wait.
By the shores of destiny, by the indigo of fate.
Oooh Andrea, if I said I was wrong
could it make you see?
All the joy. you give to me.
Bringing home a loving gift,
to the last I'll ever kiss.
My heart, my soul a peddler's treat,
for the world itself to feast.
Be then to me, a lasting note,
of sipping drinks and Christmas snow.
I heard the sound of fading doe, and Ray and me.
So hard it was to eat the dirt,
the peasants tilled; for what it's worth.
And now my sins be washed in blood,
and now my mind be drowned in flood.
Elijah the earth, the crop to be sown
when the grimmest nuances are left alone
Begone and steal away some grace
and kiss the memory of her face.
Begin again and all we've done
is passed in time and lost in fun.
To saturate a living a dream
and crush the last word.
We sit afloat our tropic boat
and think we're never heard.
The type is set at zero
and the fall is set to find
a way to get through the mountain,
so we don't have to climb.
It's the way that we sit awake,
the way the words still rhyme.
Like a flowered bird in paradise,
a maiden on the Rhine.
Photographs of the lillies,
pictures of us all.
the projections of our vision
until we break the wall.
Just roll your eyes like you used to
and fly like we are one.
Grip the sighs and the gleaming
of the crystal light to come.
To saturate like a raindrop,
and melt into the breeze.
While we sit idle by the fire,
all in vain: we freeze. We freeze.
Two years ago, I gained a family of friends,
it's with all of you, my spare time spends,
Your poems have been an honor to judge,
from this great place I just will not budge,
It was here that I first learned how to grow,
only here can my own words freely flow,
Another awesome year with this creative group,
just happy to be in the mix of our Poetry Soup.
I joined this site on August 7th, 2013. Its only been 2 years, but it feels more like 10.
This has been such an amazing experience for me. Thank you all!
