Random Poem

My Thoughts tumble together endlessly Like waves crashing in the surf, And words spill out so quickly I can scarcely write them down, Or place them in their proper order. These thoughts and words are spawned of you, For you have a strange effect on me; The shortest glimpse of you, or slightest touch, Or the warmth and music in your voice, Ignite in me this endless need to express. I suppose I should count my blessings, Because if I had my way, I'd spend my nights with you All the days I'd be... Sign in to see full entry.

Hello

Hello my friend, How are you this day? It's almost my day's end, And I'm about to down in my bed lay. But my thoughts are filled with you, Though you're more than a city away, I need only close my eyes, And I can see you any day. I hope you're well, In work and health, And life as well, In all things blessed. I hope you're fine, And making new memories, Enjoying yourself these warm summer nights, Your spirit free. Hello my friend, I just wanted to say hi To you before my day's end, Before I... Sign in to see full entry.

What you are

Boundless confidence And unbridled joy, Are what I feel When you are near. Uncontrolled smiles And ill-repressed laughter, Paint my face When it's your voice I hear. Now I'm floating away On wings of song, To words I don't know, But it sounds like your singing. And when I crawl in bed at night to sleep, My mind's awake with glorious dreams Of the one I want, Who cheers me so. For you're the dream that dreamer's seek, Why we would sleep instead of wake, Each day slowly plodding on When you're... Sign in to see full entry.

This isn't really a poem...

or a song, but there's a song in my heart that just won't stop! This is the note that accompanied flowers I sent to someone special today. Hi J, These are for you because it's been too long, And because every time I see you, You make my entire week. To my favorite J who has always been unforgettable. -E- Sign in to see full entry.

America?

Born in the Bronx, Reared in LA, I grew up on the Bible and the Pledge Of allegiance that I spoke every day. I pledged allegiance to the flag, Of this America of United States, A flag that stood for hope and cheer, And opportunity for all regardless of race. I pledged allegiance to the flag, Of this country which under God, Fought the good fight to right one by one The world's wrongs--an effort to applaud. I pledged allegiance to the flag, Not knowing to whom I pledged my oath; The U.S. of A I... Sign in to see full entry.

Without You

There's in my hands an awful coldness; They're bereft of your warm touch, Of your silky hair they would caress, Or your cheeks stroke, they miss you quite much. There's in my arms a constant ache; They long to your everything hold, To with you a circle make, And into their embrace your body enfold. My legs are shackled with weights; There's no one for them to visit but you, They'd march down every step and wait, If only to match stride with you. My eyes see a blight on the land, A world of ash... Sign in to see full entry.

A Dinner Invite

Will you with me tonight dine, On a repast of dessert and wine? And take a stroll with me under starlight, There's nowhere I'd rather be, Than anywhere with you tonight. Sign in to see full entry.

Someone I so muchly

With careful measured gait she steps, She takes her time when on the go, When up the stairs, she has no frets, But down, she takes it nice and slow. A wounded soul she's on her way, More each day, and more each night To recover from her hurt so grave, This someone I so muchly like. With verve and warmth and heart she speaks, Frank and charming, boldly caring, She speaks her mind through chipmunk cheeks, Her ins and outs, a life worth sharing. A voice of songs of days carefree, And lips God... Sign in to see full entry.

To her

Every touch, and every glance, And every hug, and every kiss, And every word we ever shared, Has found me truly, madly, deeply in thrall. And every day, and every night, And every dusk, and every dawn, And every moment in between, I long to lose myself in the circle of her soul. For when first my gaze upon her chanced, And found a nymphette sitting near, I could not help but feel unnerved, Seeing this rare treasure of the earth. When she left that day my heart was sad, And when we touched I... Sign in to see full entry.

What is Mars?

Roman god of war, A chocolatey candy bar, The fourth planet from our sun, In the night sky now it's second to none. Red planet of mystery, Subject of fables and movies, We've dreamed of you, reached for you, Searched for aliens within you. We've made up little green men, Or men in black hiding them, Thanks for the memories, And thanks for all the fantastic stories. Sign in to see full entry.
