Can't forget the man from Malta, Paul Callus
In his poems he shows absolutely no malice
Once in a while
He turns on the smiles
Girlies are all competing to live in his palace

Malta puts me in high spirits,
always have me twisting at the first sip,
languishing its energetic erotic spike,
total elevation only can you see!
awe! alluring gestures floats off my tongue when I am on my Malta.

Fragility
 
Things break;
hearts bruise
hard purple
when heaved
off the edge
into air bled dry
from love, 
leaves
cracked veins
longing to be 
repaired.

Paul Callus and I have finally met
It’s a day I’ll never forget
Paul is so charming and he’s got greying hair….
I’ll say no more of our meeting… I’ll leave it there
What happens in Malta stays in Malta!

Sitting in a dim but golden room
Looking out into the cooling gloom of evening
Checking out the mundane.....
Is the washing dry?

Silly question I remind myself!
After the heat of the day, 37 degrees
The only thing dripping is me
Acclimatising at last in Malta!...

I am feel certain that my Karma
Is to sail over there, Charma
When I get to Malta
I surely shall waltz ya
Til I’m quite sure I done charmed ya...

And drive you to 'Sweet Home Alabama’)

Tell me the poet
Who comes from Malta,
Whose name is apostolic,
Who authored "The Composer",
And the "Unspoken Words".

Tell me the poet
Who is not callous,
Who is not Carl Lewis,
Whose name sounds like both.

My poet is an Adam,
My poet an Homer,
My poet is a Plato,
My poet is a rabbi,
Who is my poet?...

Breathless life
Silenced shadow 
Denounce fixed hallow love. 

Still beauty feeds desire 
Longing what was. 

Here life, forgotten love 
Shall nest upon this chair.
Guard not love life forgotten 
Hereafter eternal affair.

Quietly toasting my skin in early morning sun
Sounds of Malta ringing in my ears
Hearts beating rhythmically within
Like engines revving
Cranes swinging
And stones dropping into place
Six storeys high
Birds wings heard fluttering around, trilling quietly
As noon brings peace, and noise withdraws
And people rest in the siesta....

Reached the arrivals hall and to our delight...

VICTOR HAILS FROM MALTA

I picture you on your island of Malta,
fine treasures you mete with nature
and lovelorn memories. My mind’s eye
froths with imageries and portraitures.

You stir the sea of Poetry Soup’s lot,
ladle out friendship and kind words.
Halfway around the world, the sun
And moon shine with blessings stirred.

Trapped


Just like a butterfly 
wrapped tight,
her folded wings 
await the flight.
Cocooned, she fears 
what to expect
when from her safety, 
disconnects.
With wings of flight, 
she must escape
into a world 
of new landscape...

Winter trees and Winter Moon,
Winter stars and Winter Gloom,
Winter Night and Winter Noon.
Winter Skies and Cold Goodbyes,
Flames Of Passion,Fire dies.
Winter Snow Flakes, teardrop ice.
Winter Mist and fading Smiles.
Winter Rain in Greece and Spain,
France,Italy and U.S.A.
Winter  Rain in U.k too,
In Malta,Storms drowning Our blue.
Winter Winter,Winter Pain!
Cold blue  Winter ,Once again!

This poem you now read
Is of a wonderful man
A brother of old
From a far away land

He stands for so many
On this planet we call earth
To their hearts he was taken
A man of worth

Georgia, Malta
Russia, the Ukraine
To all they admire
This difference of men

In the country of Alba
The Kingdom of the Scot's
When the Saltire flies
We forget him not

On the 30th of November
To the Scot's so true
It's his day 
Our patron, Saint Andrew...
