Sweet Time

Copyright Oct. 27, 2013 I spoke to you yesterday of love and coffee, Both eye-openers. I heard you take a breath and it was music, Because I love that you are here, We are here and the world is right. The world is filled with light tonight, Because you took my coffee cup, drank, and laughed.... Sign in to see full entry.

Copyright Oct.25, 2013 Ancient tears, Flowing down to old roots, A tree's years counted by the sky... -ForeverPoet -What have you counted today? Sign in to see full entry.

The Mannequin

Copyright Oct. 21, 2013 I cannot say goodbye to one who left me long ago. To one who stands in the same skin, But merely acts out an old part in an old show... An old farce that can never grow, Into a real love with a carved, wooden face. I will not shed real tears, Over mechanical lines delivered,... Sign in to see full entry.

Winter Whispers

Copyright Oct. 19, 2013 When snowy wonderland has crept upon the world again, And every child sleeps in fluffy bed. When feather-like flakes fall to scrub the dirty world all white, And I, watching out my window like a winter sentry, Send out these Winter whispers to all your hearts tonight, Hoping...

Journey's End

Copyright Oct. 17, 2013 Snowfall in full moonlight, Fairyland in the backyards. Sleighbells shiver through my ears from the county road, And I? I see the amber glow Of Home-light reflected from around the bend. Journey's end, The Traveler's friend; Friendly hearthfire and the warmth of familial love... Sign in to see full entry.

Winds of Flame

Copyright Oct. 17, 2013 Longings fell like perfumed petals from the sky, Too precious to forget, Nor will I deny them their fulfillment. The flowering of delight or the demand for love; the whispers of my soul to my listening heart; Winds of flame painting the sky. -ForeverPoet -If you have true... Sign in to see full entry.

Laughing In My Sleep

Copyright Oct.16, 2013 When you laugh in your sleep, does it bother you, on waking, to be unable to remember the joke? Knowing my luck, it was the funniest, most side-splitting, run-to-the-bathroom-before-you-have-an-accident kind of episode that anyone has ever forgotten. The Three Stooges would be...

Out A Prison Window

Copyright Oct.15, 2013 I am the monkey dancing for the organ grinders, And none care that I am lame, As long as I dance on. Dandelion gold medalions are scattered across the fields, Like the loneliness scattered across my heart. Those inner coins shine too, Brighter than beauty in my cold... Sign in to see full entry.

They Were Like Suns

Copyright Oct.14, 2013 There are those that I have known, That were like suns that came up in a breathless dawn, Which, being constantly polished, At the last, In the sunset of their golden day, Glittered so brightly that I could not look. Though they are gone, they left their glow upon my memory,... Sign in to see full entry.

Life Words

Copyright Oct.13, 2013 What is in a name? A million smiles, a million tears, A billion breaths, a hundred years. Birthdays and laughter, And all the aching that follows after. What is in your name that whispers to you where no one can hear? Is it the same heart-secret that you keep so near?... Sign in to see full entry.
