Beyond The Nothingness
If the Universe vanishes
music remains
Each note but a memory
—forever refrained
(Dreamsleep: December, 2023)
The Treasure
Life as a system
sits proudly alone
Unlike any other
secure on the throne
Not physics mathematics
or music can steal
What living the treasure
—of nature conceals
(Dreamsleep: December, 2023)
Amor Est
How can you know it was love
—how can you not
(Dreamsleep: December, 2023)
There once was a fellow named Jack
Always tried to be a leader of the pack
Then one day it dawned
Three clones I spawned
Now we're all a formidable triumvirate
The Malay Pantun: The Non-Party Communal Triumvirate
Ursidae carnivora hug and hibernate
Hypolais polyglottes trill without triumph
Alliance Party* wins and vituperate
Opposition parties coagulate without lymph
• The ruling Malaysian communal triumvirate –
since Independence in 1957.

Introducing our PS Triumvirate
Carol, Susan, and me
Born with a gene devoted to wee folk
Living inside of we three
Found each other after many long years
Now everything else is forsaken
A trio of souls like the world's never known
Our slumbering minds are awakened
One writes a poem that the other is writing
With a similar title and theme
Telepathic, coz how else can one explain
Whatta strange phenomenon it seems
So here's to us guys may we travel together
Down poetry's path arm in arm
Enriching each other and those that we touch
With our talents, our spirit, our charm
© Jack Ellison 2012
Our wish is that this poem inspires others to find
their kindred souls here on the Soup
