Birthday Candle
one-year anniversary poem
Birthday candle
One candle I claim
Twelve flames I stitch
One for each month
On this poem I frame
How lovely to dwell
In the breath of life
The Sun tolling
My morning bell
One year in the making
Verses in poetry
Dancing in thanksgiving
My spring glowing
These words yielding
Truth in meaning
Doors open wide
Spirit seeking
With gratitude and delight
I celebrate my
One-year anniversary
On all Poetry website
I never thought
My poems will blossom
When I began my
Garden of nought
Few fell by the wayside
Few on solid rocks
Some found rich soil
Affirm my faith inside
These feeder rains
Of Love and acknowledgements
Awaken dormant hopes
Nourishing my grains
Not everything I wrote
Had flair or panache
The few ones who shone
Made my heart float
Happiest of days
When I found my voice
To discover my pulse
To God be all praise
If I may celebrate
July 24th 2011
Launch of my footprint
Birthday of my nameplate
I have chosen a ghost name
'Leaking Pen' for my face
Its inks fed my first poem,
'A Poet's Anger' my claim!
Surprise! Surprise!
This first poem of mine
Turned out to be the one
Boosting my stock rise
Stubborn passion and thought
Will not deter my journey
Till I compose the Perfect poem,
Rescue my pen from distraught
Hands shake in the open
Invitation to celebrate
Hospitality's welcoming tent
A feast from a true Bedouin
I am not feeling quite right
Asking for gifts for my flight
I do envy each write
From Poets on this web site
Active seeing eyes
I thank you for your comments
To my poems messages
I value your praise
And for silent eyes
Who read my verses
Your loyal following
A blessing in disguise
I wished for a masterpiece
To declare my thanks
But the poetry's soul
No- Will -can force its release!
Happy birthday to all poets
Where the human heart dwells
I am but a single beat
In the drums of our chorus
poem by leaking Pen
