Moonlight Rendezvous. (A Sonnet).
Amid intoxicating green, our Love bestow,
I plucked for her a bunch of forest flowers,
A lovestruck arrow strayed from Cupid's bow,
And pierced a tearful cloud to April showers.
We trod the rugged path towards the steeple,
Together dancing wildly in the rain,
Flirting unaware of passing people,
To please our yearning we could not abstain.
Her female curves my wanting eyes impress,
She moved with poise and grace of noble swan,
To blushing moon removed her silken dress,
Our pleading Siamese limbs conjoined as one.
'Til the moon with bloodshot eye expelled a yawn,
Retiring then bowed curtsy to the dawn.

To please our yearning we could not abstain.
Her female curves my wanting eyes impress,

To blushing moon removed her silken dress,
Our pleading Siamese limbs conjoined as one.
'Til the moon with bloodshot eye expelled a yawn,

About this poem:
For someone special !Distant Dreams. (Sonnet)
In distant dreams an angel 'oft appears,
In awe she wanders Springtime's vibrant hill,
As wild bird songs exalt with merry cheer,
'Mid lesser celandine and daffodil.
In this majestic slumber I am lost,
Her beauty fair to woo my smitten eye,
From sprouting buds 'till flowers bedecked with frost,
Her lips afar, I wish our kiss be nigh.
My minds eye sees her prance lush meadows green,
While cirrus sky beholds her countenance,
On Nature's throne, she reigns as Noble Queen,
I yearn tread yonder fields in fiery dance.
If I held all my dreams since life begun,
I'd hap'ly fling them all away... but one !
In awe she wanders Springtime's vibrant hill,
As wild bird songs exalt with merry cheer,
'Mid lesser celandine and daffodil.
In this majestic slumber I am lost,
Her beauty fair to woo my smitten eye,
From sprouting buds 'till flowers bedecked with frost,
Her lips afar, I wish our kiss be nigh.
My minds eye sees her prance lush meadows green,
While cirrus sky beholds her countenance,
On Nature's throne, she reigns as Noble Queen,
I yearn tread yonder fields in fiery dance.
If I held all my dreams since life begun,
I'd hap'ly fling them all away... but one !

About this poem:
This goes out to a poetess friendwhose passion for love, nature & poetry
never fails to inspire me.
Falling Still. (Sonnet).
This love it stirs like fury in my soul,
Deep feelings to deny would be a crime,
To kiss your lips, I'm losing all control,
Increasing still, despite the passing time.
Absence never makes this warm heart cold,
What should have fallen, keeps on rising new,
This secret burns my brain, I can't withhold..
A love that ne'er diminished, only grew.
Hunger for you rages in my blood,
Raw passion unreleased is growing still,
To grasp you strong, and taste your flesh I would....
Ravish you with wild undying will.
My heart enwrapped by you, like sprawling creeper,
Whose limbs I'd climb so high, while falling deeper.
Deep feelings to deny would be a crime,
To kiss your lips, I'm losing all control,
Increasing still, despite the passing time.
Absence never makes this warm heart cold,
What should have fallen, keeps on rising new,
This secret burns my brain, I can't withhold..
A love that ne'er diminished, only grew.
Hunger for you rages in my blood,
Raw passion unreleased is growing still,
To grasp you strong, and taste your flesh I would....
Ravish you with wild undying will.
My heart enwrapped by you, like sprawling creeper,
Whose limbs I'd climb so high, while falling deeper.

About this poem:
We're enjoying a heatwave in Irelandpresently.....I think it's causing me to
have a hot spell also !
My Coat
Put away my basket and sewing thread
Whilst memories of how you use to be
Decidedly were better left unsaid
Each repair sewed lovingly yet still see
The scars that have changed how you once appeared
There's nothing more that I can do for you
I will don you for what you are, no more tears
There's nothing left for me to really do
Memories of colors that showed so bright
Faded replaced by a different hue
I could think of what once was or what might
Or just except you for what you've been thru
Sometimes life has a way of changing course
To move on you must let go of remorse
Whilst memories of how you use to be
Decidedly were better left unsaid
Each repair sewed lovingly yet still see
The scars that have changed how you once appeared
There's nothing more that I can do for you
I will don you for what you are, no more tears
There's nothing left for me to really do
Memories of colors that showed so bright
Faded replaced by a different hue
I could think of what once was or what might
Or just except you for what you've been thru
Sometimes life has a way of changing course
To move on you must let go of remorse

Post CommentJust One Slowburn Kiss.
Wandering lost, devoid love's fragrant scent,
My need for you so bad, you'd ne'er believe,
Cruel East wind bites my skin, without relent,
Dreams of you bring warmth, my pain relieve.
Nought I wouldn't give to hold you close,
And share with you this feeling bursting through,
To celebrate life's gems, I love the most,
Abundant Nature's flowers & birds.....and you !
The lyrics of my song deliberately plain,
Played from raw heart strings, no fancy script,
I prayed love soon to sate our yearning twain,
This heart for you, so 'oft a beat has skipped.
One slowburn kiss ! My eyes in yours to stray,
To trade my soul, such price I'd gladly pay !
My need for you so bad, you'd ne'er believe,
Cruel East wind bites my skin, without relent,

And share with you this feeling bursting through,
To celebrate life's gems, I love the most,
Abundant Nature's flowers & birds.....and you !

About this poem:
I'm just old fashionedwhen it comes to kissing !
Darkened
---- IMAGE REMOVED because photobucket.com no longer allows embedded images ----
Toys scattered over the play ground, lost
Taunts cries lingering as if in a stance
All gone, but one left with darkened feelings
Holding onto life's gift of second chance
Searching deeply for strength to continue
Gathering power to hold close to thee
No need for mirrors every step engraved
No one knows me better than I know me
Releasing visions of what I would like
Freeing destiny to be as it should
Paining myself by allowing it so
Letting go of what one knows is not good
Torn but still completely whole my soul bare
Some weights in life one must carry not share
Toys scattered over the play ground, lost
Taunts cries lingering as if in a stance
All gone, but one left with darkened feelings
Holding onto life's gift of second chance
Searching deeply for strength to continue
Gathering power to hold close to thee
No need for mirrors every step engraved
No one knows me better than I know me
Releasing visions of what I would like
Freeing destiny to be as it should
Paining myself by allowing it so
Letting go of what one knows is not good
Torn but still completely whole my soul bare
Some weights in life one must carry not share

About this poem:
Just how I am feeling here of latly
Epitaph to Love.
Eyes I spoke of once, words that burnt then,
hands that cupped soft thy lovely face,
took me from myself for such a space
of time, marked me out from other men,
the waving hair of unmixed gold that shone
amid smiles that flashed with Angelic rays,
used to make this earth, a paradise ablaze,
are but now a little dust, all feeling gone,
I grief stricken, its darkness foreign to me,
alone where light I cherished never shows
in that fragile bark strewn on tempestuous sea,
so, let my loving song come to a close,
as this my Lyric turns to tearful sigh,
the vein of my accustomed art is dry.

About this poem:
This but a futile to express grief, there are many amonst you who can pen better.A Wedding Day, Sonnet.
Love's destiny, thus two rough diamonds drawn
in the opening hours of loves exclusive dawn,
whence from the infertile mundane shore,
love polished bright its glistening facet store,
highlighted vowed love, to be friendship personified,
where each and every caressing detail amplified,
like as, the touch of hands e'er so importantly,
as the sweet and secret realms of intimacy,
though clouded skies there well may be,
when sombre portends challenge loves philosophy,
would'st pleasure scupper sacred vows integrity,
remember, ever burning bright is loves illuminosity,
Thus, the simplicity, that love and marriage
is a special journey, in life's upholstered carriage.

About this poem:
Having of recent times been asked to make a five tier wedding cake, I accompanied it with this Sonnet.
Love’s Many Faces
Our love has endured its share of sorrows,
the foolish mistakes...the ache of regret.
We aimed our dreams toward each bright tomorrow,
vowing forever, to never forget.
With each anguished tear we have shed for love,
we have grown and changed in such diverse ways.
Time doles truths we have long been afraid of,
while love succumbs to the old, worn cliches.
The years have well proved what we always knew;
I live in your heart, as you live in mine.
Wherever you go, whatever you do,
this love will not fade with the trials of time.
The past will not steal our dreams as before...
We forgive, we let go...we love all the more!
the foolish mistakes...the ache of regret.
We aimed our dreams toward each bright tomorrow,
vowing forever, to never forget.
With each anguished tear we have shed for love,
we have grown and changed in such diverse ways.
Time doles truths we have long been afraid of,
while love succumbs to the old, worn cliches.
The years have well proved what we always knew;
I live in your heart, as you live in mine.
Wherever you go, whatever you do,
this love will not fade with the trials of time.
The past will not steal our dreams as before...
We forgive, we let go...we love all the more!

About this poem:
This was one of my first attempts at writing a sonnet back on the mid 90's.
Enough(a sonnet)
I may not ever be, all you desire,
I may not give you all you'll ever need,
I have not as yet worn the knights attire,
Am I then somehow less than once perceived?
So you play role of damsel in distress,
and I play him that seemeth not to care,
but with one look, one kiss, one soft caress,
remove the ill from mind and tension spare.
I am the thing you crave despite charade,
I speak a language makes your body weak,
your wish is my command I will obey,
'til valleys peak as we lay under sheets.
I am what you need no less, just enough,
'til you reach highest crest and whisper love.
JS
