"When Poetry Meets Soul {{A Soul City 15 Poet Collabo}}"

A place where souls greets destination
Where flaws are accepted
A place where cries are wiped before teardrops
Fall
We stand as one collage
A beautiful piece of art
One mirror
We are the fragments linking
The Crystals
Holding
Bonding
Pulling
Together
Creating One reflection
You Me and I
We are a link in a chain
A gear to mesh all one
Thoughts and dreams pulled together
To be the group to show the way
To create a new vision of ink

Poetry far above the norm
Casting lots as we become the light
The soul and color of the word
Live
Write
And create as reborn
Brothers and Sisters in fellowship
To be at the zenith of love
We could pen a verse,
making alpha and omega spin in reverse
oh wait it gets much worse...
Because we're passionate about our written symbolic form of church
Letting our family's spirit soar
You step wrong through the front, we'll all lyrically bless you, then show you the back door
With us there's no time to snore, our pen fellowship will have you awake til your eyeballs are sore
You see my Soul is with this City, for the good, bad, indifferent, we can even get gritty
We should open up a Penmanship Uni-Verse-ity and teach poor writers for whom we show pity...
Teach them the value that comes from being in this group
The unity that we have formed
Brothas and sistas together for common knowledge
Sit you down to the language of the spoken word
Drill into your skull thoughts of war and hate
Or maybe drown you in this thing called love
Show you a thing or two about the metaphysical and the psychological
Have you cry tears now that I leave you emotionally bound and broken hearted
Spit you up in an acrostic and call you a humor write
We are everything under the rainbow
Here showing you the truth you need to hear
From politics to erotica, we have a teacher here
To inspire you and encourage you no matter where you stand
Lift each other up in the saddest of times
And smile with you
When we bring each other much joy
Showing we are truly a family…
Something beautiful always happens when poetry meets the soul,
If you were once shy you get the strength to be bold,
taking control of situations understood to be chaotic,
Breaking down the complexities of love without watering it down with erotics,
It’s a combination of imagination and reality,
The things of this physical world are made much more grand from your dream,
The roots of your spirit grow ears and just have to hear it,
Ignoring the limitations of this world that won't let you near it,
If you only knew the power of your pen you would see why the world should fear it,
When poetry meets the soul it takes life's debris and clears it
Poetry is our "writes of passage"
A day without it
Is another day we cannot manage
Raising the torch
to uphold the good poetic image
For all those looking in
criticizing our ways of living
We control our internal affairs
to keep it our own
Outsiders cannot intrude
Take our problems and make it theirs
We got that family luv
Snugs and sparkle
Like M.J.'s glove
You would like to be a part of this inspiration?
We will get back to you
Send S.C. a request
And fill out the rest of the application
Not for the faint of heart
And definitely not for the dramatic
A home for the creative, open-minded
And those full of passion
Where the simple question "why"
Can be so therapeutic
And having a new spouse weekly
Is legal only when we do it
I

Where
Beautiful souls meet To elevate minds
Literature and Art, Seeking to find
Divine works of the heart, Never in decline
What’s mine is yours and yours is mine
A group with Hope and Faith,
Giving off energy to motivate
Leaving the rocky road behind
As the road ahead is straight
Living the life that we love
Loving the life that we live
Soul City's influence And resistance
Turns negative to positives
Diverse poets, with skill
Drop stanza's at will
Ideas quicker than light
Then we all form and unite
And if you’re sick."Well" Don’t fear
Cause your family is right here
Your in our thoughts in every way
And in our hearts when we pray
Now you heard who we are
And knwo what we do.
Although the many are welcome
The chosen are few.
Where The word family
reaches beyond the branches of any tree,
Where the word family, goes beyond
the essense of you and me.
F-A-M-I-L-Y = U-N-I-T-Y
Hate has no place in our community
Where home grown love is a commodity,
Where having soul is a necessity.
We relinquish negativity
We’re distinctive and form a unique breed
We are indeed…….family
With poetic achievement
Our talent is never prosthetic…..just check the scribes if you don’t believe me
We are lyrical warriors
That delivers with a purpose
To captivate your thoughts
With words to motivate you through our poetic course
We go for what we know
The good, bad and pretty
We compliments each other as a whole…..We are Soul City
We are those with the skill
To make ink spill
Between receptive thighs
Creating family blood lines,
From black and blue explosives…
Molding minds with savant foreplay…
Together we ride those orgasmic waves…
Of Poetry.
We are Soul City-
Submerged in artistic expression
In this province where our sprits are kissed
Licked
Whipped
Gripped
and
Dominated
By extraordinary verbiage.
We submit to its splendorous wonderment.
And if you’re mad that you’re not apart of this
Tell it to the hands we’ve clasped
Through virtual atlas and global maps-
We’ve erased the distance with miles of smiles
And an eradicated judgment; no drama fills this camp.
This is universal love, placed directly at the cusp
Where the Moon meets the Planets, and the Sun…
Is the descendant of both Reality and Fantasy.
We are the souls of futuristic quality; we are One.
ONE- a single entity comprising of many
A beauty that surpasses imagination
A culmination
Beyond expectation
We are the reason
POETRY lives supreme...
As we breathe
Oxygenated words filling asphyxiated paper
With a sublime pleasure
Which once seemed possible only amongst
The God's and Goddess of Olympus
We have found our own kingdom
And here we reign supremely
Dripping ink blots
From sanely insane hearts
Expelling emotion
Existing together as a magic potion
That others only dream to drink
We are our Own Souls Remedy
We heal others with our words
With our Real emotions
And with our presence
We write with our lives
Because that’s all we know to do
We break down barriers with the creativity
That we use
No one can break our spirits
Because We'd write about that too
If you want to know who we are
Just open up your eyes and take a look into my heart
A collection of Poets
Soul City is our art
And through our art
We gently caress the souls of those
Who are wise and open-minded enough
To ingest and behold
The lessons leaked
When pens unload
And poetry unfolds
Onto eagle spread pages
Filled with ink blots that explode into expressions of
......Love
....................Pain
...................................... Fear
................Courage
..............................................Humility
..........................Melancholy
...........Lust
............................ Sexuality
All within the loving embrace
Of the Soul City community
Never alone
But sharing
Each joy
Each travesty
With family
Though we boast individuality
We vibe collectively
Fusing poetically
Until we share one heart, one soul, one love, one destiny
Follow me as you hear the call
Get a glimpse over our private city walls
Where talented souls mingle about
Where we talk a little shit and flirt some- no doubt
Our sexy and seductive ink spills out into the streets
And we got each other's back when life turns up the heat
Our residents wake and greet each day in the family room
But if you're feeling extra sexy, we got a spot where seduction looms
We represent more than a poetic city
we are a close knit village when things get gritty
Soul city is where our creativity meets style while bringing us peace
Where we push that pen in the name of soulful release
