Ode To Poetry SoupAs we sit and type and stare at our screens.
At times we wonder what all of this means?
With our mouse we roam through poems like a maze.
Looking for something worthy of our praise.
We write of our hopes and tell of our woes,
Most of the time, not knowing where it goes.
We wait for the views and...

Ode to TapuyCome! Bring forth the jar that for months had stood
Patiently undisturbed in the shadow!
Lift its lid, remove the leaves that serve as hood
And help age the wine that’s about to flow.
Catch a whiff of its sweet smell long detained
That now perfumes the air around us here.
Take some of the liquid with a bowl unstained
And--wait! Before...

Wake UpWake up
Stop dreaming
Hear the birds chirping
Thank God for the blessings
Each breath is a gift
Breathe in
Focus on your role
Hit the core with a heart of gold
Stay low-key, no time to envy
Seek discipline
Kneel to the Man who never sinned...

The SunAs I walk around on the green grass ground
The sun shone down on the lady in a light brown gown
She bowed with a “hello”
Her voice pierced like a love arrow
The darkness in her eyes
I see a beautiful soul
Oh, hello!
Come and let's delve deep with me into the gloomy exploring galaxy
Throughout the journey I sense peace,...

Your SmileIn everything I could not be
You were always there for me
In everything I would not try
Your love pushes me
Far away from you, dear
Imagine me
I'm still there walking by your side
So lean on my shoulder
I'll wrap my arms around you
Oh please don't sigh
Don't cry
Because I miss your smile
Let me wipe those tears from your eyes
I...

In the Hush of NightO hush of night, you sacred veil,
Who cradles hearts when strength grows frail—
Receive this soul, so gently stirred,
Whose silent grief has gone unheard.
Receive this soul, so gently stirred,
Whose silent grief has gone unheard.
You walk with those the world forgets,
Who carry dreams like faded debts.
The ones who smile through aching breath,
And meet each dawn with quiet...

Posaidon's SurfboardUpon the waves where the wild winds sing,
A tale unfolds of a vessel and its wing;
Through the tide, it dances, graceful and free,
Harnessing the ocean's heart, a sight to see.
With cargo holds filled, treasures abound,
From the Pacfic to the Atlantic, dreams resound.
A bill...

Heroics of the day
Oh, hail the champions of the couch potato throne,
Whose true inspiration is laziness alone!
From the depths of sloth, great inventions arise,
A tribute to those who prefer their dreams to the skies.
The remote control, a marvel of our time,
No more adjusting; we’ve reached our prime!
With just...

Ghost In YouMirror you kept inside of me
Your face I slept with me
Smiles you brought for me
Your love I painted as me
I can hear your thoughts
and I'm always beside you
I can sense your emotions
and I'm always near you
You don't see me
but you believe in me
You think...

Ode to the Voice I Never Wanted to HearOh, the joy of telemarketers,
Who call you up without a care,
With offers they believe are clever,
But really just provoke despair.
They call with grand insurance plans,
Covid kits and credit schemes,
As if I’m some prized target
For their automated dreams.
“End-of-life” expense protection —
Oh, what a cheery nightly theme!
I nod along sarcastically
Inside my caller-haunted dreams.
And then there’s Medicare, of...

Ode to the RainYou come down
And strengthen the feeble.
You pour down
And awaken the dying.
The frail await your arrival.
Your departure saddens the blooming fields.
There’s a rebirth at your coming;
Hope begins to wane at your leaving.
The clouds quake at your appearance,
And the sun retreats...

Queen Moon
Oh Moon, the shining lantern of the sky!
The brightest light set ablaze in the dark!
Glorious boon, heaven freely granted!
Committed guardian of the night!
You appear each night to lead the wayfarers,
The ones lost in the labyrinth of darkness
Shed PHOSPHOROUS beams of light on their way
You stay aloft in the firmament in deep solitude,
Amid clouds that CASCADE...

Sydney my citySydney my love, Sydney my city
Splendour and majesty, nothing such pretty.
Sydney my love, Sydney my city.
First rays of the sun, spread here fun.
Opera, Harbour Bridge, Blue Mountain.
Pretty pretty places, plenty plenty beauty.
Sydney my love, Sydney my city
Clean clean beaches, green green trees,
Pleasant weather, cool cool breeze.
Kissing the shores, sea waives sporty.

Ode to SilenceYou drown out every noise,
In stillness, we hear your voice.
This is the seeker’s guide,
For those in search of the truth.
You open the door to the light,
We emerge from the recalcitrant night,
To find the treasures we seek
And the pathway to Zion’s gate.
You summon the...

Symphony of whispersIn a world of noise where the distractions reign,
Amidst the proliferation of mobile phones,
You find your haven, a refuge from the din,
In the depths of quiet, where your spirit roams.
While parties surge like waves upon the shore,
And social media dances, a fickle flame,
Your...
