online today!Peace and Love
Will peace be not gone only by and by
Fall away like summer days asunder
Now only a thin ribbon of blue sky
Swept aside by gloomy warring thunder
Fast do the dark clouds of reproach return
Swim and swirl in the swamp of lost desire
War only so lost in a fire could burn
Such jealousy stacked so neatly on a pyre
Will peace like flowers grow faded and old
Keeping pressed between the pages of time
What of a story that was never told
Holy words mere muffled sounds of a chime
Only when we let love conquer boldness
Can we trust each other in holiness
Fall away like summer days asunder
Now only a thin ribbon of blue sky
Swept aside by gloomy warring thunder
Fast do the dark clouds of reproach return
Swim and swirl in the swamp of lost desire
War only so lost in a fire could burn
Such jealousy stacked so neatly on a pyre
Will peace like flowers grow faded and old
Keeping pressed between the pages of time
What of a story that was never told
Holy words mere muffled sounds of a chime
Only when we let love conquer boldness
Can we trust each other in holiness

About this poem:
A sonnet deeply reflective of a crazy, sad world. When will 'our' the 'human' story become about righteousness … ‘peace and love’.
Truth
Like the gentle clouds that float above head
Memories, times that seem to have stood still
A book with the end I not yet have read
Just holding me against my fragile will
The warmth of the comfort of knowing you
Holds me close when the chill tries to enter
No lies no suspicions for we know true
Yet summer goes away and comes winter
Can I stay warm with only memories
A cover made from the clouds up above
Or is it time to let go and fly free
To close this door and turn my back on love
A tattered rag can let the sunlight in
But want stow warmth upon me in the end

Post Commentonline today!Her Portrait
Memories captured in an old parlor portrait
Immortality found a beautiful face
Swirling brushstrokes from a Master’s palette
For everywhere you look is divine grace
Crowning statement of love and devotion
Carefully framed gilded ornate plaster
Beauty the subject of much commotion
With much respect still given the Master
Such as the fine details found in her eyes
The still subtle shades of light through her hair
Features as fresh as the day its paint dries
Anything made today even compare
Esoteric beauty still shines our souls
More meaningful than all the ancient scrolls
Immortality found a beautiful face
Swirling brushstrokes from a Master’s palette
For everywhere you look is divine grace
Crowning statement of love and devotion
Carefully framed gilded ornate plaster
Beauty the subject of much commotion
With much respect still given the Master
Such as the fine details found in her eyes
The still subtle shades of light through her hair
Features as fresh as the day its paint dries
Anything made today even compare
Esoteric beauty still shines our souls
More meaningful than all the ancient scrolls

About this poem:
A sonnet about an old family portrait painted long time ago of a very beautiful woman whom I still share feelings for.online today!Cave of ‘Time Immortal’
Deep in a forest dwells a secret cave
Hidden from time generations ago
Entrance buried during earthquake shock wave
And landslide caused by its laminar flow
Whence was habitat for an early tribe
Did become an ancient tomb thus enshrined
To what race of man, for they to ascribe
Became a burial place being mined
Day the ‘dozer let in daylight contain
A time capsule was discovered once more
A prehistoric world under the moraine
Once lost in time now ready to explore
Rare in the records of time immortal
We ever walk back through an old portal
Hidden from time generations ago
Entrance buried during earthquake shock wave
And landslide caused by its laminar flow
Whence was habitat for an early tribe
Did become an ancient tomb thus enshrined
To what race of man, for they to ascribe
Became a burial place being mined
Day the ‘dozer let in daylight contain
A time capsule was discovered once more
A prehistoric world under the moraine
Once lost in time now ready to explore
Rare in the records of time immortal
We ever walk back through an old portal

About this poem:
A sonnet inspired by a recent dream.online today!Summer’s End
Softly the end of summer nights will sing
A calling on the wind that crickets bring
For all that still keeps my heart lamenting
Now soon even the songbirds will not sing
For deep into the valley does the stream flow
Into gurgling brook drifts the leaves that fall
When busy days of life begin to slow
Then such a sudden breeze will bring a squall
Stormy clouds drifting by with anxious rush
Past lazy sun that rises less and less
So when the ever growing night will hush
That first killing frost anyone will guess
For short is the season was summer best
Now as autumn winds blow north by northwest
A calling on the wind that crickets bring
For all that still keeps my heart lamenting
Now soon even the songbirds will not sing
For deep into the valley does the stream flow
Into gurgling brook drifts the leaves that fall
When busy days of life begin to slow
Then such a sudden breeze will bring a squall
Stormy clouds drifting by with anxious rush
Past lazy sun that rises less and less
So when the ever growing night will hush
That first killing frost anyone will guess
For short is the season was summer best
Now as autumn winds blow north by northwest

About this poem:
Writing about little clues that define a changing of season here in New England.
both sides
I look at life from both sides now ...
And still I'm eluded by you somehow....
I picture your smile and the laughs we shared.....
The devotion i Gave when you never cared...
I look at life from both sides now....
The times that i held you and still somehow...
I struggle with doubt if our bond was real ....
The lust and passion and How i would feel...
I look a life from both sides now...
I believed that you loved me and still somehow....
This hole in my heart is hard to repair ....
Most days i feel empty cause you not there....
And still I'm eluded by you somehow....
I picture your smile and the laughs we shared.....
The devotion i Gave when you never cared...
I look at life from both sides now....
The times that i held you and still somehow...
I struggle with doubt if our bond was real ....
The lust and passion and How i would feel...
I look a life from both sides now...
I believed that you loved me and still somehow....
This hole in my heart is hard to repair ....
Most days i feel empty cause you not there....

About this poem:
i wrote this poem after watching the movie...LIFE AS A HOUSE... It tugs at the heart:)
Music Abounds (sonnet)
Listen now carefully, what do you hear?
sounds abound as you tune in to listen
universe of noise fills the stratosphere
birds singing, rustling leaves in transition
Blades of grass crackle sounding like gun fire
the trickle of the brook harmonious
I settle down by the roaring campfire
drinking in the sounds most melodious
As magically they blend together
creating music so soulful to hear
playing perfectly keeping in meter
in the background reed pipes clamour come here
Music around us abounds all the time
listen to it play enjoy the downtime
sounds abound as you tune in to listen
universe of noise fills the stratosphere
birds singing, rustling leaves in transition
Blades of grass crackle sounding like gun fire
the trickle of the brook harmonious
I settle down by the roaring campfire
drinking in the sounds most melodious
As magically they blend together
creating music so soulful to hear
playing perfectly keeping in meter
in the background reed pipes clamour come here
Music around us abounds all the time
listen to it play enjoy the downtime

Baggage
Twould it be so easy to not look back
Fly forward stretching for the finish line
Leaving behind the baggage of the past
Could I just let go if I were inclined
Embracing one another holding close
Soon warmth turns to fire spreading throughout limbs
Flame covering burning to nothingness
All is silent as the bright light goes dim
Door knob in one hand baggage in other
I know I would be nothing without you
Hugging close as if we are but the one
If I go then you must come with me to
Baggage that I carry has carried me
In essence it is the person you see.
Fly forward stretching for the finish line
Leaving behind the baggage of the past
Could I just let go if I were inclined
Embracing one another holding close
Soon warmth turns to fire spreading throughout limbs
Flame covering burning to nothingness
All is silent as the bright light goes dim
Door knob in one hand baggage in other
I know I would be nothing without you
Hugging close as if we are but the one
If I go then you must come with me to
Baggage that I carry has carried me
In essence it is the person you see.

About this poem:
Hello thank you for reading my poem.Bird Songs (sonnet)
Listen when you awake at crack of dawn
hear the chorus of all the birds singing
watch them as they scurry and dig the lawn
until a nasty cat sends them fleeing
How dull and bland without any birds
silence would greet us with it's bleakness
less colour everywhere, half mast halyards
how lucky to have birds to add brightness
So many feathered friends around
delighting us with their wonderful songs
the sound of harmony our souls surround
for the sweet mellifluous songs prolongs
Tunes everywhere blending in harmony
sweetly combining sounding like honey
hear the chorus of all the birds singing
watch them as they scurry and dig the lawn
until a nasty cat sends them fleeing
How dull and bland without any birds
silence would greet us with it's bleakness
less colour everywhere, half mast halyards
how lucky to have birds to add brightness
So many feathered friends around
delighting us with their wonderful songs
the sound of harmony our souls surround
for the sweet mellifluous songs prolongs
Tunes everywhere blending in harmony
sweetly combining sounding like honey

do you ever hear your name being called
turn to find the source is no where at all
just another case of the unexplained
just another makings of some cantrip
do you ever find you're shaking inside
your hands seem to work without rhyme or guide
a bundle of nerves with no where to go
good or bad destination is not known
do you ever feel that one is close by
yet you don't know them and you wonder why
to know the end before the book is read
yet you keep reading turning page by page
have you ever rode the tides of the wind
not caring where it blows trusting the end
turn to find the source is no where at all
just another case of the unexplained
just another makings of some cantrip
do you ever find you're shaking inside
your hands seem to work without rhyme or guide
a bundle of nerves with no where to go
good or bad destination is not known
do you ever feel that one is close by
yet you don't know them and you wonder why
to know the end before the book is read
yet you keep reading turning page by page
have you ever rode the tides of the wind
not caring where it blows trusting the end
