LADY ODETTE OF POET CORNER
Lady Odette of Poet Corner,
Thou art a divine lass of wisdom and knowledge!
Greatness thy presence if not in essence!
Sacred and rare among noble ladies of thine,
Whose body,mind and soul cast exquisite spells!
Love and compassion are your fortress,
Forgiveness your all time sweet mistress,
Charms and flattery ,thou take them for breakfast,
By high noon a teacup full of magical poetry,
By nightfall your passion dances with dangerous ferocity!
Knight Angels guard thy temple dream,
And moonlight safeguards thy loyal paladins...
Who stands up and against thee,
The ShieldBearer of the Holy Sea!
Your dungeons are far worst than Hell,
Where the task masters are minor demons!
And those who defy thine Ladyship decree,
Will thou unleash upon foolish goons,
The doom sound of the MegaDragon!!!
Alas a power unlike yours and yet so lonely,
Without a consort or a living mate,
A sorrow too heavy for many mortal men,
Thou carry always within thee, High Lady Odette of Poet Corner!
Thou art a divine lass of wisdom and knowledge!
Greatness thy presence if not in essence!
Sacred and rare among noble ladies of thine,
Whose body,mind and soul cast exquisite spells!
Love and compassion are your fortress,
Forgiveness your all time sweet mistress,
Charms and flattery ,thou take them for breakfast,
By high noon a teacup full of magical poetry,
By nightfall your passion dances with dangerous ferocity!
Knight Angels guard thy temple dream,
And moonlight safeguards thy loyal paladins...
Who stands up and against thee,
The ShieldBearer of the Holy Sea!
Your dungeons are far worst than Hell,
Where the task masters are minor demons!
And those who defy thine Ladyship decree,
Will thou unleash upon foolish goons,
The doom sound of the MegaDragon!!!
Alas a power unlike yours and yet so lonely,
Without a consort or a living mate,
A sorrow too heavy for many mortal men,
Thou carry always within thee, High Lady Odette of Poet Corner!

About this poem:
This is a very special tribute to Lady Odette after reading classy women and getting a dose of inspiration from her ladyship!
Peace
I will come to you and ask questions
That I may know what's in your mind
I will come to you and listen to your words
That I may understand your pain
I will come to you and acknowledge your emotions
That I may empathize more than sympathize
I will come to you and hear your full story
That I may offer solutions if required
I will come to you and treat you the best I can
That I may prove myself and take away unfounded doubts
I will come to you that you may see what's in my heart
Working around with rules, never breaking nor bending
For when we speak, we are heard...
when we listen, we understand
when we acknowledge, we show respect
when favours we extend, we lift hearts and souls!
That I may know what's in your mind
I will come to you and listen to your words
That I may understand your pain
I will come to you and acknowledge your emotions
That I may empathize more than sympathize
I will come to you and hear your full story
That I may offer solutions if required
I will come to you and treat you the best I can
That I may prove myself and take away unfounded doubts
I will come to you that you may see what's in my heart
Working around with rules, never breaking nor bending
For when we speak, we are heard...
when we listen, we understand
when we acknowledge, we show respect
when favours we extend, we lift hearts and souls!

About this poem:
we all long for a peaceful life...peace is like a clear river...it must flow from one point to the other... Let us be the vessels Peace springs from....
New Day
What do you do when you find yourself
Holding aces and eights,against a straight
What do you do?
What can you do
You took a chance,and you made your play
Its not your fault, when its just not your day
What can you do?
Do you walk around in a daze
Precious dreams locked inside your head
Now i know you feel bad,.. and I know you feel sad
But cant you see,there is always tomorrow
Tomorrow...
Because there is a new day coming down
And there is a new game to be found
Yes,there is a new day coming down
Don't let the old one get you down.
And i know its hard, to keep a poker face
Without the ace you need to fill a winning hand
But what can you do?
When to bet, when to fold,..blood runs cold
Life is just a game of chance
What do you do?
Do you turn away to hide the tears
You tried to hide all those times before
I know you feel bad,.. and I know you feel sad
But cant you see there is always tomorrow
Tomorrow....
Because there is a new day coming down
There is a new game to be found
Yes,there is a new day coming down
Don't let the old one get you down.
What do you do on a losing streak
When luck is just another four letter word
What can you do?
You've got no aces up your sleeve
Only a joker,.. in a funny hat
What do you do?
Cant you see its got to turn?
Its the law of averages,
its got to turn your way some day
Now I know you feel bad, and I know you feel sad
But there is always tomorrow
Tomorrow..
Because there is a new day coming down
Yes, there is a new game to be found
There is a new day coming down
Don't let the old one get you down.
Holding aces and eights,against a straight
What do you do?
What can you do
You took a chance,and you made your play
Its not your fault, when its just not your day
What can you do?
Do you walk around in a daze
Precious dreams locked inside your head
Now i know you feel bad,.. and I know you feel sad
But cant you see,there is always tomorrow
Tomorrow...
Because there is a new day coming down
And there is a new game to be found
Yes,there is a new day coming down
Don't let the old one get you down.
And i know its hard, to keep a poker face
Without the ace you need to fill a winning hand
But what can you do?
When to bet, when to fold,..blood runs cold
Life is just a game of chance
What do you do?
Do you turn away to hide the tears
You tried to hide all those times before
I know you feel bad,.. and I know you feel sad
But cant you see there is always tomorrow
Tomorrow....

About this poem:
Some verses from a song i was writing...Life being seen as a deck of cards.
It sure would be nice to be able to re-shuffle them from time to time.
Decide
Decide, right or wrong but leave nothing to Chance for she is the cruelest of masters.

About this poem:
Make up your mind, even if you're wrong.My Life
Tis my life and so:
My heart the draw,
My head the thought,
My ears that caught,
My eyes that gawked,
My mouth that talked,
My feet that walked,
My hands that wrought,
And so at the end,
There will be no one to blame but me!

About this poem:
One day every one of us will be judged by the Father for what we have done!
going going gone.................cafetwo challenge
the time has come to say goodbye
the end is near no wonder why
i smoked and drank till i was blue
a different time and point of view
i've seen the beauty of this land
the sparkling sea and golden sand
felt the warmth of a woman's love
set it free on wings of dove
watched my sons enter this life
watched them grow and seek out strife
learned what friends meant to me
a lesson to late for me to be
felt the hate of an angry man
felt the love of gentle hand
seen dispise in peoples eyes
learned of colour and its disguise
walked a road of no end
slept on tiles to understand then
every journey i've made or undertook
revealed a beauty which made me look
deeper into all i see
allowing me a full life you see......
the end is near no wonder why
i smoked and drank till i was blue

About this poem:
hope you don't mind me jumping in on this challenge Cafte..........
Dreamer
look inside to your inner self
find that place of happiness and wealth
let yourself drift into the unknown
find those thoughts only you own
feel the free life force within
its then you will begin
to realise what may seem
the impossible doesnt have to be a dream
find that place of happiness and wealth
let yourself drift into the unknown
find those thoughts only you own
feel the free life force within
its then you will begin
to realise what may seem
the impossible doesnt have to be a dream

The things I will take ( challenge)
It may sound foolish,
or even a lie,
On a isolated island,
I wish to reside.
The first thing I must take,
is the love I have inside.
A gift given, to me.
My joy, my pride, my child.
To rid ones self of material possessions
& live in splendid harmony.
Natural surroundings of simplicity,
Is where my heart, yearns to be.
Challenges will always, arise
In adverse circumstances,
We persist to survive.
Just as I did, in the concrete jungle,
Of my former life.
The second thing I would take,
is not a physical Thing, to see.
It is of a spiritual nature,
a prayer & a plea.
The prayer would be simply,
for the most high to,Guide & strengthen me.
To help through the perils,
of this unknown territory.
I would ask for knowledge & skills to adapt
For all basic needs.
Especially of, well being
To ward off, "insanity"
While I am away, my heart will dismay,
for our humanity.
I will plea, for peace in a restless society,
that is governed, By manipulation & greed.
Where wars & rumors of wars
will plague the air I breathe.
I will silently pray, in hopes not dismay,
for Gods eternal Mercy.
The last thing I will take, is my given soul.
I could not leave that behind, for it is
All I own.
When the body does, decline & if by chance death comes to me.
The, remains of my carcass is the last memory.
That's when my spirit, mind & body, can finally be free
Because God has prepared,
a place for you & me.
A room with many
Mansions, I cant wait to see,
if only we believe.
Till then, this isolated island, ....is just temporary.

About this poem:
Thanks for the challenge shadow, you have a great mind for them:0)
~I'm a quiet man~
With a whole lot to say
At the bottom of that ballot
Was a box for an X.
Yet you studdered in pen
What you needed to say.
Look around you it's real
Beyond media hype!
Genial circus
With membership growth!
Self imposed blinders
Keeping it calm!
The future is yours
Yet in shadow you lurk!
My God can't you see
What's inside of that train
It keeps passing by
As each ticket is sold!
All future resides on our words being said
Yet, you curl up in a corner ingesting the news!
While it floats on by your reasonable mind.
Diversion attraction call it what you may
You're are part of the price the future must PAY!

About this poem:
What say you to this!I believe most people will shy away from a reply here, because of being afraid to speak out against what's in front of them. So it go'es to show that fear tactics work. I believe I'm here for a reason, not too sure what that reason is, but I'll not let fear interupt what I feel needs to be said.
Belly dance
As she danced
for her man
she became
larger than life.
She danced
to be outside herself
larger and more beautiful
and more powerful...
She took his hand
and on the edge of the ocean
they danced
to the light of the moon..
She realized
life is the dancer
and we are the dance..
