DCLXVI_1989 (Garrett Asa Hughes)
A Circle Of Goddesses.
Suzanne, “Leonard Cohen”
Years have passed, been high, been low
been drifting though the memories past.
I find my thoughts stuck on you.
Why, cause you were pure, apart from
the kind of life I was living and beyond
what I deserved.
I’d like to explain, but how do you
explain stupid, foolish and irresponsible
to a perfect soul who never experienced
those aberrations. How could you ever
understand and forgive me? I was so
intimidated by your sweetness and beauty
I had to run Suzanne. After all these years
and, for me, boatloads of tears,
I had to reach out. Words fail me like they
did so many years ago. I’m glad you are
happy and life is good for you. If you
remember, one fond memory is
all I could ask for...
been drifting though the memories past.

My Earth
There is nothing that I wouldn't do
For my Earth She's my Girl
If bad energy violates then imma have
To drop that world
Every thought has a want
Every passion has an offer
I respect my Ocean
She's a Goddess and a
Daughter Her grounds are deep
She has the Sweetest Water
Where do I began
Her eyes are twin
Identical to mine she
Has the most beautiful skin
I honor the soul within
Even though the Moon compliments her reflection
She has her own sacred light
She's half human and half universe
My Love for her becomes
Worship
My loyalty has become
A relationship
She's always with me when
I wake up
Could she possibly be my new Love
Who was sent from above
We are in harmony like two Doves
Her energy has returned
With a stronger flow she's just Like a visitor she comes and she goes
In Summer she springs in Winter she blows
There is nothing that I wouldn't do
For my Earth She's my Worth
and the oak tree that grows with me
She will never have to compete with any other flowers
Even the strangest gems
Diamonds, pearls ,rubies will never compare to her power
stories will be forgotten
but they will remember ours
Tomorrow morning whenever I awaken once again I will taste Her dew drops for She's medicine for my mind's body and my spirit's soul
The mountains are her bones and the rivers are her veins
There is nothing that I wouldn't do for my Earth
I will protect her from neglect and pain
For my Earth She's my Girl
If bad energy violates then imma have
To drop that world
Every thought has a want
Every passion has an offer
I respect my Ocean
She's a Goddess and a
Daughter Her grounds are deep
She has the Sweetest Water
Where do I began
Her eyes are twin
Identical to mine she
Has the most beautiful skin

Even though the Moon compliments her reflection

Thank You, Sweetheart
For Cali
I’m thankful that you gave me your heart
You were there for me when I needed a wife
Cali, I’m filled with gratitude for your love
You’ll always be the woman in my thoughts
And I want to say, thank you, sweetheart
I’m thankful that you loved me sincerely
Darling, you were never discontented or sad
You didn’t complain when things got bad
I’ve spent many hours thinking about the past
And I wish we could go back to the start
I’m thankful that you brought joy into my life
You took the time to listen to my problems
And you understood the sadness in my eyes
Cali, I’d repay you for your kindness if I could,
But I can only say, thank you, sweetheart
I’m thankful that you gave me your heart
You were there for me when I needed a wife
Cali, I’m filled with gratitude for your love
You’ll always be the woman in my thoughts
And I want to say, thank you, sweetheart
I’m thankful that you loved me sincerely
Darling, you were never discontented or sad
You didn’t complain when things got bad
I’ve spent many hours thinking about the past
And I wish we could go back to the start
I’m thankful that you brought joy into my life
You took the time to listen to my problems
And you understood the sadness in my eyes
Cali, I’d repay you for your kindness if I could,
But I can only say, thank you, sweetheart

The Matriarch
Grandma was a savage,
And I mean that in the most respectful kind of way,
Back in her day she could do some damage,
If someone pissed her off she would go a little cray…
See the thing about the Silent Generation,
Is that they lived through wars and harsh times,
They pushed forward without any stagnation,
And my grandma certainly fit the storylines.
She had the roughest childhood and upbringing,
Adhering the advice of women who were wise,
And through those years she was really building,
A profound foundation embedded with family ties.
She taught each and everyone one her children,
The meaning of honesty and true respect,
She always gave tough love filled with wisdom,
How to be courteous and also be direct.
Then in later days she went through a drastic change,
With a growing family she became more of a worrier,
Because then when my grandma found her faith,
The tough demeanor gave way to a prayer warrior.
She’s the pillar of my family, resolute and steadfast,
When we think we have it rough she’ll tell us stories,
“You’re not first and you certainly won’t be the last”
She’ll start with parallel parables and allegories.
“When you’re headed there I’m already coming back”
She was young once and knew to play the part,
Through prayers a matriarch always has your back,
She’s a tough little lady but she’s got a big heart.
And I mean that in the most respectful kind of way,

Congratulations to DCLXVI_1989, we will be in touch shortly.
We chose this poem as we felt it was enriched with simple imagery that popped out in his poetry, he expresses the inner struggle of putting deep emotions into words about somebody he loves however, throughout every stanza it digs deeper into his emotions as we go.
Thank you for sharing this poem with us and congratulations once again.
Our honourable mention goes to Calamitygin who gave us a candid portrait of her mother, the highs, the lows and raw emotions of a mother daughter relationship which dripped through every stanza with many personal touches which were beautiful.
Thank you for sharing this one with us, it was beautiful and deserved an honourable mention.
A massive thank you to everyone who submitted their wonderful entries to the competition, it is because of you the people of DU who make the poetcast competitions. 😊
Stay tuned for the next competition 😎
