ROSE TWELVE

I gave my Lady love roses twelve today, The first was for her eyes, bright and sassy, The second was for her voice, smooth and silky, The third was for her touch, gentle yet firm, The fourth was for her heart which beats strong and true, The fifth was for her spirit which soars above troubles many,...

FIRE UPON A BEACH

The beach of headland stretches as far away as far can be, Steel dark with stars a bright arch across the bubble of heaven, Among the cobbles, boulders strew about, a wild and windy place, Waters deep and cold lap and surge on the edge of this stage. In the nothingness of the night there is a single... Sign in to see full entry.

STRAND OF SANDS

From my lofty perch high above the sea, I see what I do see, A strand of sand stretching north and south as far as the eye can see. The darkness of the water in the moon light contrasts so with the sand, Like a bed of pearls the beach lies beneath me between the sea and land. Of much is this bed of... Sign in to see full entry.

MY SECRET GARDEN

I have a garden all my own, Very small it is as gardens go, A single rose bush grows, Lush and beautiful the roses are, I tend it with care, nourish and cherish, I did not plant this garden, Found it I did, after decades of search, Many false starts, and thorns without end, Loss and cuts from stabs...

FAR AWAY

He was gone, to fight a war, For reasons she did not believe, He said it was duty, Her father said it was oil, The preacher said it was God’s will, His mother only cried, She never did understand, why the Guard, He seemed to have fun, gone a lot, There was a pride and strength he gained, The extra...

LOST WITHN MY COMPUTER

I stumbled across a secret the other day, not so closely held, Millions of live humans reside behind my computer screen. Some of them are women, more than a few beautiful, One can get their attention by being witty, and suave. Charming them with words alone, weaving a fabric whole, Speak the truth,...

IN YOUR MIRROR

In your mirror can not thee see thine eyes, Can thee not hear thine heart voice, Can not thee read thine thoughts true? Is not thine mirror rimmed with years past, Surfaced with the prism of all that might have been, Lit by the light of all that might be? I for one choose to see the beauty that is...

SUNNY SMILES

The sun rises and it is a new day, Shinny and bright, new with promise, Hope and joy, are the promise, One has but to live to the fullest, Greet this day, as thousands before, And thousands more to come, Yet remember today is unique, For it will never come again, Do as you wish to, love as you...

CUP OF TEA

Here I sit early morn with my cup of tea alone, Morning report and poem to compose and comprehend, Or is it comprehend then compose, really not sure, Oh what the brother, a few sips of tea and thoughts clear, The report is easy enough report the facts, interpretation, Perhaps even a question or two,...

DISTANCE NOT

Friends of the heart are never far apart, Words shared in pillow talk traverse the universe. For love is a magic carpet that removes all barriers, Mountains high, seas deep, and deserts wide are as nothing. Neither time nor place matter to hearts that beat as one, For all things change, and time... Sign in to see full entry.
