Gabriel

A strummer of strings⁠, among other things,
As soft as the thrum of beating wings;  
And, when that forgotten son does sing,  
O’er forest and fjords, his heart does ring.  

He rises with the restless day,  
With a hopeful smile upon his face;  
Despite the obstacles in his way,  
Of his fear, he shows no trace.  
 
On days he doesn’t feel his best,  
He grunts and pushes through the pain.  
Some days his brain’s a foggy mess,  
Left (out)standing in the pouring rain.  
 
An honest man, with stoic stature,  
Wondering through his wizened woods;  
By camera shutter, the poet captured,  
Earth’s enchantments, as he could.  
 
Through a looking lens of grace, he gazes,  
On grasses of the earth, he grazes,  
Spitting fine poetic phrases,  
Whilst on the finest herb, he blazes.  
 
Made of sugar, spice, and everything nice,  
With a pinch of piss and vinegar;  
And although he has the gift of gab(e),  
He’s an extraordinary listener.  
 
I can only hope to be, someday,  
A man of such integrity…  
And to think I let my silly problems  
Get the fucking best of me.

My deepest condolences to Soul's family, friends, and fellow poets. He will be remembered <3

The video on the previous page, of him quietly, beautifully.. playing guitar, is perfect -- I'm glad I got to see it and would encourage everyone to watch it <3

the soulman

we all grieve differently
i read somewhere
once
and it resonated
with life
all that I've observed
and absorbed

tears...
after years
of shared paths
ephemeral it may seem
the company
but experiences are
anything but

souls
created
for lives more than one
and eternal
there
right there
will I seek you my friend.

in the meantime
we hold on to your gifts
two hundred and fifty four
of them which the world is richer for
the rest that are innumerable to mention

Rest now my friend.
For You, will be disturbed
again. There.

Slán abhaile

Goodbye, my friend
I hear the food is nicer there
and the forest is thick with creatures
who will eat from your hand

slán abhaile, mo chara
is finscéal tú, do chroi, ceol, craic
beidh sé mar chuimhneachán ort.

slán





Thank you all for your beautiful reflections. I feel I'm lucky to look back and chuckle to myself. it's great to see the poetcast project here, he absolutely loved it

translation to the above verse: goodbye my friend, you are legend. your heart, music, craic
it will be something to remember you by. goodbye

It was not always like that
it was also
All I know is...the weather/season is improving
and maybe I can be out within nature
once again to rejuvenate

and then we walked
down the hill

the unknowing of loneliness.

 
    
     
i am but a single rose    
my thorns plague    
up and down my spine      
constant scarring,   
twist and curve    
into a dangerous beauty    
     
when closely a look,      
to laugh    
of such    
devious petals    
that serve    
as secret conceal    
     
'Tis you    
and me    
 and ours—    
Yes,      
ours      
     
is mutual sunshine    
mixed of an earthly divine    
sparking and igniting    
a lonely vine    
as together with you,      
now two    
     
only. for. you.    
     
i shall climb,      
with petals extended    
my unfurled reaching out    
to such heavens high    
and softy,    
     
so very softy    
     
a very unlikely two,    
unusual    
and new to bloom    
in wonderment-    
O' how the wonderment    
of all we knew to be true,    
combine in new warmth    
of perpetual sunshine    
and now,    
in all purpose apparent    
we are but two roses
 
      united and always.

The color of my faith
Seen in blue
Unlocking
The true potential of my soul

Some Sextets Of A Palindromic Plying Phasal Mind~ 'MANAM'::மனம்-  In Our Undying 'Soul'ing Love

   
   
   
   
   
1.    
mysterious anonymities~    
மன ஜனம்:: Maṉa jaṉaM
   
   
who are they?!.. these    
disjointed deja vu insurgence    
of a random alien~ known    
mixed characterizations    
   
in a daily gherao over    
dreamy reeling surrealities-    
   
 a drastic expanse in    
horrific drilling inevitabilities    
 of sudden~ switched morphings…    
an unbearable live series of killer    
documentary nightmarishness...      
   
   
   
2.    
lump in the throat’  weighted mind    
::மன கனம்:: Maṉa gaṉaM
   
   
cleaving deliquescent stress & strains    
of a vicious vaunting~ sabotage  times    
      
stride as squally cyclonic juggernauts    
in smother~ strangulating clouded mats    
of hard~ sedimentary  illusional greys,    
   
neither in a thorough~    
blown away traffic clearance    
nor in an awaited eventual    
teary~ equatorial outbursts    
   
   
   
3.    
bloody mind battlefields      
::மன ரணம்:: Maṉa raṇaM
   
   
warring decisive in the karmic fronts    
of summating accounts of Sins & Bliss..    
the inner motherly chaos leads this    
warrior mindchild amidst the bleeds ..    
in a shining singular noble purpose    
& healing elemental purity,  of Love    
   
   
   
4.    
enter the rejuvenating mind~ forest    
::மன வனம்:: Maṉa vaṉaM
   
   
undeniably the forces of destiny..    
these metaphorical 'fourteen Ramayana    
years of foresting liberational penance      
falling divine … as if a deathly    
castaway curse of a raging sage    
to those worldly (un)commoners..    
   
   
   
5.    
all i feel is this 'now'    
::மன கணம்:: Maṉa kaṇaM
   
   
meditating sword~ sharp    
decanting delicate minds    
flow fluidic in ‘the moment’    
-mindfulness’ harnessing    
   
   
   
6.    
marriage of the minds    
::மன மனம்:: Maṉa maṉaM
   
   
the eternal. 'soul'ing love.    
this one us.    
   
   
is there a  death ever?

Another day dear
It is too bright
dreaming of bridges
and shady woods
where I was
but never went
wishes lived through dreams
and faded yellow ribbons hanging on hundreds of oak trees
gently tied by those beloved left behind

i keep my face down, I keep my gaze down


for there is
something in my chest
that aches to come out
my jaws are locked in tight
from the eyes it shouts

Dreams

flying through the land of dreams
of tall pine trees
and everlasting greens
spires of churches in vast green fields
sounds of singing hills
quiet hamlets

Swimming in bubbles
colours of the rainbow trapped
within the wet orb
floating away over the garden
of blue bells, tulips and dandelions
there is tranquility

In my dreamscape I am
peaceful
tranquil
belongs
I want to see
You there too
