Short Soaps Poems

Life, a mystery,
Unfolds in myriad ways,
Keeping us guessing
Daily television soaps
Reign supreme in viewers’ life...

When Momma said, 'Wash with soap'
     I heard, somehow, 'Watch the soaps'

   She'd come and turn the TV off, said
     ~ 'At least your hands are clean and soft'...

Men and women weren't meant to live together
They certainly don't have the same priorities ever
Men watch Sunday football
Ladies, it's soaps making em bawl
If it wasn't for sex, there'd be no contact whatsoever...

A sexy lady in town opened her new Sweat Shop
With all kinds of towels, soaps and deodo-props
All sporty men went inside to purchase
With sweating armpits, rushed in race
Fainting in odor was her first business’ mishap.

Bath Time

Every evening
around about five
I pinch my cellulose
to make sure I’m alive.

Long-ago-child 
last rings in my tub
now soaps up her own kids,
rub a dub dub.

Towels at attention,
the bathroom is dry
if I need a re-run
my daughter’s near-by.

How humble is the cleaner,
The cleaner who must dodge threatening dogs and
Hold her legs at bay – her perfect work unbroken.

How she quietly longs softly working with her vacuum,
And room to room, smearings the smell of soaps.
Dragging miles of wires of the vicious.

How humble is the cleaner...

Poetry reading
Wind chimes singing
Animal pelts
Candles melt
Meditation resting
Yogis stretching
Soaps smelling
Tarot cards telling
Sun catchers gleaming
Water streaming
Dream catchers catching
Horoscope matching
Gem mining
Sun shining
Flower seeds sowing
Plants growing
Religious ritual
Nature is spiritual...

I want to take a shower
Not the kind with shampoos or soaps  
I want to get soaking wet 
With your passion and your sweat
 I've been thinking of you all day long  
I had to touch myself
Now that you're in my sights
I could really use your help....

When we are done
Are nice and clean
It's into your arms I go
So I can safely dream........

The propeling feelings become 
static
It was supreme without no tatic
The rush of love almost took the 
place of blood in
ma vains
It took a million soaps to clean d 
lipstick stains
she guarded ma heart with 
countless chains
It's a hurt i had to stop with no gains
It was a dagger to both hearts but 
it's better to
avoid future blames...

Whose concerns are elbow germs?
The bugs we cannot see?
We wash our face and scour both hands
But hinge joint ligaments
Receive no such sentiment
Soaps' a stranger to our winged tips
Located somewhere between the hips
Fractures, aches, arthritis
Funny bones, bumps and bursitis
But elbow germs invite no press
Which is why arm colds are such distress!...

A dark and evil place of dying hopes
Walls thick, cold crawling with vermin weeping sound
Musty smell induced by acidic yellow soaps
Every part of the wasting body darkness had bound
Bruised mental psyche which living barely copes
Images of past sins like ghost rise and hounds
Through a hole in the broken and barbed window
Comes a ray of light, miracle's shadow...

.
.
The makers of soaps
know the smell of clean
and manufacture all
their cleaners with it.
.
The grease of 
my life is my enemy,
my nostrils do a 
primitive quiver.
.
But I feel it bust away
with the foaming edge of my
cloth and the fragrance of
clean liberates my breath.
.
The burst of bubbles and
the squeek of fingers on glass
tell  me how
free I am....

TV, Romance 

So I´m guilty, a temporary crack in 
my tough exterior, a moment of 
sentimental- too mush watching of
soap opera- weakness.
Her coat, hang in the wardrobe, in  
the restaurant, and I pressed it to 
my my face, closed my eyes and 
inhaled her fragrance, only woke up 
when two women looked at me and
giggled. I must be careful not show 
a chink in my armour of coolness and 
never again watch Brazilian soaps....

Dream was to seize every present gracefully
But present has come to wash hands frequently

Paralyzed time stealing the wishes of life
Starting and ending of days on thorny knife

Have to plant the present life in the ground of soaps
To live long healthy and follow up the planned hopes

If breaths growing up in the soap world to save hearts
Without vaccine will the lives find the pure healthy paths?

God had with his finest sensors
Picked the edifice and its sponsors,
Then surfaced to have it videoed.
What angels could have Him radioed!

God,all along Himself radar,
Knew what to do to Man's ladder
And bombs can throw to burst bladder...
Bur-no!-He is always father:
Should God not be man's guide rather?

Men should only sparsely gather,
Save in streams with soaps that lather
No exceptions—Blast Men's Cadre!

And so the Tower kissed Nadir......

No one really needs the gifts
We buy this time of year.
Recipients fake oohs and aahs,
Most likely insincere.

The scarves and watches, soaps and mugs,
Pajamas, books and brandy
Are purchased just for custom’s sake,
Like Halloween and candy.

We agonize ‘bout what to buy,
Then shop and shop and shop;
And when each listed name’s checked off,
We finally can stop.

I wish I could sit out this game – 
I’ve had it to the hilt;
But if I didn’t get each gift,
I would be wrapped in guilt....
