Sun
Shining brightly in the simmering sky,
Upon the world, its gleaming light does lie,
Nourishing all, as day goes by and by.
Like soup . . . poems also need a good foundation,
a flavourful base to build upon;
I have no set time limit for my creation,
though, sometimes my alphabets are woebegone !
Carrots, peas, celery and corn are like bright gems,
potatoes, green beans, beef broth and tomatoes are the substance;
that any soup or poem needs to fall from spoons and pens,
and of course alphabet pasta words must swirl in great abundance !
Stirring often my poemy soothing delicious comfort,
I am not afraid of adding a little zest;
in the end my alphabet creation will be triumphant,
and Zen feelings will stir and my soupy poem will be blessed !

Just a look
yet a torrent
of hidden emotion
Just a smile
yet a message
of concealed affection
Just a touch
yet an eruption
of channelled passion

Simmering hope in all....!
Simmering hope visible in the morning rays;
keep moving on to find what lays as ways!
As those embellishing golden light that crept,
it is that unfathomable dark past which left!
Stagnation means death in that one form;
as a thumb rule, is against worldly norm!
Take a fair clue from that rays of hope;
pointed focus reveal myriad ways to cope!
Being stagnant is perceptive limitation;
progress - itself a move towards decimation!
As we while our times away in small action,
subtly we glean time in its own subtle motion!
From simmering hope or clairvoyant dark,
focused deep within, will reignite that spark!
Pursue that urge to seek through thy own Will;
let it unravel and unfold itself in that 'calm 'n still'!
A simmering smoke surrounds me
And it’s you
Coming to abduct me
From this life
I’m in your world now
Fenced in by loyal love
Confined by durable devotion
Would you mind
If I stayed forever?
