Heather Mirassou's Poetry Soul Closet

Poetry reflects the connection between people, life, minds, soul, hearts and spirit.

Poets write about their life experience, their life expression and their life perception.

This lens is a journal of poetry, beauty, women, spirituality, feelings, life and relationships. It is a journey of recapturing our dreams, desires and passions.

"Writing is as essential to me as Breathing."

I hope I can give you a concise glimpse into the heart and soul of myself and others. Here we will connect...

God Whispers

A smile resonates upon my face
Words spark through my inquisitive mind
Feelings begin to radiate within my heart
My fingers tap-dance across the page
My soul grasps freedom
The burdens of the past extinguished
The bright future in abundance
God whispers hope and faith
Miracles plentiful appear

Phenomenal Woman - Maya Angelou

Famous Poets

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman

Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Mistress 

Mistress

Amorous kisses and tricks
Give way to a strangers desire
The willing mistress
awaits a man for her game
No love need be adorned
Only sinful seduction performed
She captivates and bewitches
Engulfed in her charms
No longer listless and calm
The truth of the immoral act
Haunts them with fear and shame
Their hearts drown as they quickly depart

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace. I love thee to the level of everyday's Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light. I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise. I love thee with the passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints,-I

FIRST KISS

Long after we met
Still standing in forever
Our kindred spirits released
Beyond our wildest desires

To find love alone together
For I found you there
In nights glow lights
Full of moon beams

Shed of inhibitions
With no one to see
I kissed you secretly
Under the naked tree

Webbed in shadows
Embraced yet still free
For I found you there
In the warmth of the eve

Without a summer breeze
To be dancing in the droplets
Of Nectar sweet as a honey bee
Subtle light and free

To fly with you in dreams
Relished natures fantasy
Will blush my heart
When our lips touch

For I found you there

A Beautiful Love Poem by Nizbar Qabbani

"He lets me listen, when he moves me,
Words are not like other words
He takes me, from under my arms
He plants me, in a distant cloud
And the black rain in my eyes
Falls in torrents, torrents
He carries me with him, he carries me
To an evening of perfumed balconies

And I am like a child in his hands
Like a feather carried by the wind
He carries for me seven moons in his hands
and a bundle of songs
He gives me sun, he gives me summer
and flocks of swallows
He tells me that I am his treasure
And that I am equal to thousands of stars
And that I am treasure, and that I am
more beautiful than he has seen of paintings
He tells me things that make me dizzy
that make me forget the dance and the steps

Words...which overturn my history
which make me a woman...in seconds
He builds castles of fantasies
which I live in...for seconds...
And I return...I return to my table
Nothing with me...
Nothing with me...except words

Percy Bysshe Shelley

THE MOON

AND, like a dying lady
lean and pale,
Who totters forth, wrapp'd
in a gauzy veil,
Out of her chamber,
led by the insane
And feeble wanderings
of her fading brain,
The mood arose up
in the murky east,
A white and shapeless mass.

Art thou pale for weariness
Of climbing heaven and
gazing on the earth,
Wandering companionless
Among the stars that
have a different birth,
And ever changing,
like a joyless eye
That finds no object
worth its constancy?

Percy

PAWS

Hershey, black satin,

length of my torso

Diamond green, serene eyes

Velveteen curious nose

Tongue like a pumice stone

Her elegant but waddling stride

Powerful, confident and territorial

Sitting like a queen on her throne

Cat of mine, mother to be

Tuxedo, black and white, bow tie and all

White sock covered feet, satin gloves

Long white elderly whiskers

He reminds me of Fred Astair

Quick, calculated, light on his feet

Shy yet debonair

Patient, watchful and full of pride

Cat of mine, Father to be

Oreo, friend and foe

Black face and tail

Her back white as snow

Fearless fence and roof climber

Mischievous youngster on the prowl

Paws in the air, tummy exposed

Purring loud vibrations

Kitty of mine

Your voice, like a river rippling with waves of goose bumps,
awaken my inner spirit and fill me with delight.

Your gaze, magnetic, blue and moonlight bright,
clear as the evening night, gently captures my inner light.

Your heart, speaks softly and soulfully, whispering
faithfully and sometimes silently, but never in spite.

Your touch, captivating, tranquil and slight, caressing me slowly,
surrounding me with all of your might.

Your smile, brilliant and bright, tantalizing like a steamy,
summer night, summoning me gently to be your wife.

Memoir of my Daddy and me...

Affection

The earth that made the rose,
She also is thy mother, and not I.
The flame wherewith thy maiden spirit glows
Was lighted at no hearth that I sit by.
I am as far below as heaven above thee.
Were I thine angel, more I could not love thee.

Bid me defend thee!
Thy danger over-human strength shall lend me,
A hand of iron and a heart of steel,
To strike, to wound, to slay, and not to feel.
But if you chide me,
I am a weak, defenceless child beside thee.

"Mary Elizabeth Coleridge"

Sonnet 17

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way

in which there is no I or you
so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand
so intimate that when you fall asleep it is my eyes that close

Pablo Neruda

Stardust Dreams

A stardust explosion
warm, wet, glittery
tingles on my skin,
abates my mind and
stimulates my soul.
Escape. Phantasies. Dreams.
A portal to a different dimension
is opening its gates
and augurs a soulmate.
Entrancing promises and
hypnotic dreams
of what lies
beneath.
Dreams are begging me to
go down an endless highway,
a timeless quest
to find them,
to see them materialize and
become a rightful part of my life.
They're begging me to
have faith in them,
to believe -
in them.
Believe in myself.
Here and there,
reality and dreamland
fuse in a secret space of
my mind.
A place I don't want to leave,
I never want to leave.
The door is opening,
the gates are closing.

Son & Father

Heather's Soul Closet

Son & Father

A father with adoring eyes
Who is an example of love
And of Kindness and compassion

A father who is a mentor
Who teaches by example
And guides with understanding and patience

A father who is fun
Who laughs and runs
And plays with his children

A father who listens
Who is open minded
And who sees life positively

A father who shares a family Tradition
Who displays a pristine work ethic
And encourages his son to continue the tradition

Be proud father
Your son is a scholar
And an agile athlete

Be proud father
Your son shows a vision of you
And will carry those traits to his sons

Be proud father
Your son shows your heart
And soul and courage

Be proud father
Your son has the world in his hands
And is an incredible young man

Be proud father
Your son has a dream
And will carry on the family legacy

Love

Love
Is the great work
Though every heart is first an
Apprentice

That slaves beneath the city of Light.

This wondrous trade,
This magnificent throne your soul
Is destined for-

You should not have to think
Much about it,

Is it not clear
An apprentice needs a teacher
Who himself

Has charmed the universe
To reveal its wonders inside his cup.

Happiness is the great work,
Though every heart must first become
A student

To one
Who really knows
About Love.
