On Poetry Soup

 A first day on Soup is filled with much awe
The wonderful poems will make you smile
Easy is it to fall for all
Some enabled my mind, lingering a while
Just the few Soupers I mention here
Will blow you away with works of this year! 

Janet Cervenka almost made us lust
When she penned a piece on Heavenly's bust

Marvelous is the diversity of Jan Allison
Such a dressed gem, and she's only blooming

Nandita then tells us that she's no Jan
Indeed her craft is paralleled by none

Man! the lyrics never cease to flow for Dave
So highly endowed with a skill many crave

You see, my first day on Soup I was greeted by SKAT
Who so humbly laid down the welcome mat

And if there exist a bond no man can put asunder
I have to say it's between SKAT and Linda

O! How can I forget 'Half of A Heart'
A Sara Kendrick special, such design and art!

Who better to mend our Broken Wings
Than the namesake with a quill in full swing

Yes Soupers always brighten my days
Place me in velds full of beautiful haze
And there I spot a Mystic Rose
Defined so uniquely like a Kim Nunez prose

From a consummation a lover was denied
To the hautiness of a lonely man's pride
Whatever we plan to glimpse or scoop
We tend to leave with more from Soup

Far, Far Away

The days draw ever closer with my imminent need to leave

     With promises to keep and goals to achieve

     My ultimate desire is to disappear

     But mighty are the binds that keep me here

     And so I sat down to write a song

     About this place where I could belong

     My nirvana, my world and art

     Where every little craze tickles my heart

     I wish upon a star that is too far

     Hoping for a yearn that makes me churn

     For this I will strive night and day

     To find this place, so I pray

-cupid-

   This armed cherub
In diapers, with arrows
   
   This winged archer
is set upon our meadows

   Yet only time will tell

If he comes bearing,
   God's greatest gift

Or leaves us smitten
   and gawking at some girl...

My Brother, My Blood My Grief

Today, my heart heaves a heavy weight
Why, O! Why?
The soul crushing goodbye
Fervently I pray,
To see you just one more day
We part ways knowing it not our last
Looking ahead, thinking of our next
But Death, too grotesque, had other plans;
My burden to bear!
Why this painful news,
Only God knows
Someone please!
Wake me from this dream
A cold, unfathomable abyss
That I never want to revisit
We bow our head in sadness
And bury our faces in distress
My heart full of pain resonates its tears
If only, If only
We could haggle out of our demise
Gone too soon
The sheer disbelief
 
The promises you vowed to keep
Goals to reach before you finally sleep
You may be no more but not in my mind
Still here with me
If only I can see
A staked heart, resounding unbound tears
Forget you not; to miss you a lot
Lost souls, forgotten families
Never to me
 
Good tales we've heard
From generations long and dead
The happy ending cliche
For your soul, I pray
Here our fate! separated by worlds
While I wait
For the powers that be, to bide us again one day
But more, for in mere simplicity
I will never say goodbye
Forever with me, 
My brother, my blood

                                                                          In Loving Memory of our Lost Souls

To Her

,
In no fewer words can I explain
the aura of lithe this lady contain
from witty banter to affectionate touch
her gracious presence only missing a blush

True, it's been a while since we were ourselves
but at least it gave me time to reflect on you
in anxious times when you calmed our nerves
and the nightly chats, those I treasure too

Though it seems I tender not a hearty soul
and times I keep much more than I show 
within these words I wish you will find
how highly a friend I esteem you in mind

Till I find others so true
all my nights shall be dreams of you ,

Love To Hate

A Lover's fist

Glitters red with blood

Friends become Enemies

Up and Down

Drops of floral grace

                                      Dancing across the velds while

                                        the rest stay perched above

Woes of a Man

Once upon a time, I used to be you. 
In my misdemeanor I fell out of your love. 
Now you are quick to judge, but you don't know me. 
In your silence, you wish me away.
Invoking ancient curses, praying I stray. 
Tiny streams of tears roll down my prematurely withered cheeks. 
Tattered clothes I salvage from dumpsters 
Days gone by since I had a meal 
Even longer since I saw the inside of a bathroom 
Am I a son of the Land? 
Will you show me any kind?

My grief resounds no mercy 
I am, but one, in a land of many 
O! lethal fate, pangs of anguish and strife 
Here, I lay holding on to dear life 
Once I had it all, I was homed 
Nature's calamity left me doomed 
A past so rosy, full of kind 
Trapped in the deep embers of my mind 
I walk the streets without a clue 
This place of love; never true 
Ah! what crime! 
Wicked, is the wheel of time.

I have embraced misfortune 
And felt the smile of pain 
Your pity, I seek not, 
Nor your assets. 
Rather A consummation fervently wished 
That you see me not with those Eyes of Repugnance. 
For Once upon a time, I used to be you.

Simple Pleasures

Three waves blew past 
My two arms stretched wide
With one word in my head: Haven!
And to you alone shall I confide

The tide brought a whisper to my ear
"A simple pleasure I give to you, my dear" 

An uphill steep each man is forced to climb
And atop that mount is a rare moment of daze
When you glimpse your Pain lamenting below
And feel the breeze brushing at your face

Empty your mind but don't shut it close
To the simple pleasures under the mountain's nose

The rigors of life may yet sink you low
Deep down away from the starlit skies
But twirling and curling in the open meadow
Are vivid blossoms pleasing to thy eyes

Down in the velds also, that beautiful haze
These simple pleasures often elude my days

An Endless Encounter

 Seated in a corner to my left
Were travellers who appeared to be deaf
I knew not who these men were
And their purpose I have no true care

Slung over his shoulder, one rose to aim
At the conductor amassing her claim
Tut-tut! Bullets marched, making peace with her neck
In desperate haste, Les masses  went berserk!

With my mind acquiese and body nervy
The prospects ahead were quite scary
Two more to the roof...tout l'argenterie clattered
An untimely error by my fidgety created

In the quiet of my carrel, three breaths from sight
A sheer bystander in another man's malice
Scribbling my death song away from the fright
To recount, mon amour  why we will never have Paris

But before the end of this lengthily horror and me
In merest simplicity and pitiful hope
My dearest Naina, should this get to thee
I pray the heavenlies will make us a new home
