Poems (34,330)

You can write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
trying to stamp me to the dirt
Still,
like fire,
I rise.

Just like moon and sun,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes high springing
I Still,
like fire,
Arise.

Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders fall like tea-er-drops,
Always,
like fire,
I'll rise.

You can stab me with your words
cut me with your eyes,
Try kill me with your hatefulness,
I shall,
like fire,
Still rise.

Does my truthfulness upset you?
should I be despised?
I'll dance like i'm a diamond
Forever
like fire
I rise

Curled up in the corner of the dungeon, my head resting on the young dragons back, I can feel him breathing, peaceful and gentle.

And suddenly the air changed, charged with an energy, compelling and Strong.

The young dragon stired and rubbed his face softly against the Dungeon Master's hand.

Looking up into eye's that knew me, that smiled into mine, I happily placed my hand into his where it belongs.

A week after I celebrated my birthday on the big island of Hawaii
A big fire broke out on Maui
At first I thought maybe it was a volcano with hot lava
That was the reason I visited the big island
I wanted to see fresh hot lava oozing out
But I heard it was lightning and heavy winds
I do know they are far away from everything
That is what is so neat about this place
Total isolation from the rest of the world
It is a neat place and I'm sure they will rebuild
I was entertained for my visit
And I'm sure future vacationers will be entertained on Maui

In the afternoon the wind brings the dust
clouds of it come up from the valley
to invade the silent streets
small animals hide in crevices
now we are all hunkered down
awaiting the quiet of dusk

In the mornings I walk the range
where the air is clear and cool
the city below glimmers
its metal rooved armor
protecting it from the glare

I toss a rock to the gods
and it tumbles out of sight below
shaking the cacti in its descent
this very afternoon the rains will come
then the hard spirit is lifted
with the quenching of the dust

Long to be in good shape long to be in good health
Long to feel good each and every day
No matter what the situation might be of my wealth

Long to be with good friends
Long to be where excitement is just around the bend
Long to be where I can suddenly feel a gentle summer wind

Long to be at a cafe where the piano music makes the food taste great
Long to be there knowing you might be few minutes late
Long to be on a first date as she arrives a few minutes after eight

To this song, amongst some others,
will you take my hand and dance with me ?
To feel your cheek against mine,
to graze your skin all over my own, Sweetie,
as you whisper love's timeless endearments
as sweet and deep as aged red wine ...

Will you dance with me slowly,
.... as you gently pull me closer...?
As I feel your beating heart so near,
when my own starts to flutter ever so faster ...

Will you dance with me
as you become my dearest Darling ... ?
When I sometimes will
that I could make Time stand still,
and just bask in your loving
which to the deepest part of me
blesses with indescribable thrill ...

Will you dance with me to this song
and some more other ...
so through the years , this flame in my heart
will not flicker out but, instead,
grow all the more stronger ...
So as I live through my life's remaining chapter,
I can put a period to its last sentence
with the sketch of a heart , in memory of my times
with my dearly beloved lover & partner ....

Seems like just yesterday, I wandered astray,
Caught in life's bittersweet journey, lost in disarray,
But lucks gentle hand intervened on a fateful day,
And there you were, my newfound heart's array.

In a crowded place, where strangers fill the air,
Your eyes thought they saw a spark so rare,
Senses heightened, the world faded away,
your words, to me spoke more than words should say.

With every exchange, a simple truth unfolded,
The immediate connection, relentlessly emboldened,
We're charting new territories, casting away doubt,
The undeniable pull, there's no turning back now.

Chance serendipity, destiny or fate
Our souls collided, time suspended in space,
A cosmic dance, an intoxicating trance,
Oh, that lucky meeting that bestowed our chance.

Together, we now dance on this tightrope of fate,
Bathed in the glow of love, forever we'll vibrate,
Oh, lingering serendipity, our hearts forever entwined,
Maybe testament to the beauty that destiny designed.
