The lionheart.........
It was just a annual dinner
For the fundraisers and their lot
The seating was prearranged
A mixture of who and what
I had an old fella next to me
Who didn’t mind a drink
And the questions that he asked
Made me stop and think
He was just shy of eighty
With a chuckle you’d admire
And he queried me on everything
As I searched for his desire
But my ears tweaked with intent
As he spoke of his friend
A woman of ninety three
He’d support till the end
They’d been friends for years
And she was nursing home bound
But he visited her everyday
To take her all around us
Everyday and in every way
He’d make her life a joy
Never a doubt in his words
No time left to be coy.........

About this poem:
This fella was the epitome of the Lions function .........dedicated and loyal to the very end .......for AJ
ragnarok
"father's fly me strength of two
all wars are old yet I am new"
the trees will bud bodies without any eyes
as the calm before battle sleeps in the skies
its beyond my arm what faces us friend
but into the maelstrom we soon will descend
the weight of my axe the blood of my kin
before the dawn they'll be wearing my skin
but I will snarl at the gates of this hell
and I'll take some demons with me as well
death comes but once to the brave
but to them without courage
it makes them a slave
all wars are old yet I am new"
the trees will bud bodies without any eyes
as the calm before battle sleeps in the skies
its beyond my arm what faces us friend
but into the maelstrom we soon will descend
the weight of my axe the blood of my kin
before the dawn they'll be wearing my skin
but I will snarl at the gates of this hell
and I'll take some demons with me as well
death comes but once to the brave
but to them without courage
it makes them a slave

Don't fear
Don't be afraid if I just say "I love you",
It doesn't mean, far from it, please, believe,
That it is you with whom I am in love in real.
It means I love your spirit, love the way you are,
I love the soul in you, I love inquisitive mind.
Don't shy my love, I beg, don't shy such love as mine,
Cause it is not what matters much, no bond or lust.
My love for you is just sweet dreams, not more,
That stay with me, that I could share with all.
Just know, I love not you, I love the way you are,
I love your gentle spirit, love inquiring mind.
I'm lucky in a way, my love doesn't ask for gain,
Don't grudge me love obtained with so much pain.
It stays with me, it helps endure the strife,
Be what you are, be free, be restful in your life.
Don't be afraid, my love will never bring you pain.
I love the way you are, that's all, it is no more than that.
Be what you are, be you, be what I love and care,
Oh, does it seem too much, oh, do I ask to share?!
It doesn't mean, far from it, please, believe,
That it is you with whom I am in love in real.
It means I love your spirit, love the way you are,
I love the soul in you, I love inquisitive mind.
Don't shy my love, I beg, don't shy such love as mine,
Cause it is not what matters much, no bond or lust.
My love for you is just sweet dreams, not more,
That stay with me, that I could share with all.
Just know, I love not you, I love the way you are,
I love your gentle spirit, love inquiring mind.
I'm lucky in a way, my love doesn't ask for gain,
Don't grudge me love obtained with so much pain.
It stays with me, it helps endure the strife,
Be what you are, be free, be restful in your life.
Don't be afraid, my love will never bring you pain.
I love the way you are, that's all, it is no more than that.
Be what you are, be you, be what I love and care,
Oh, does it seem too much, oh, do I ask to share?!

Post CommentHappiness is an inside job
But you'll never find happiness
Unless
Ya find it in yourself 1st
Always searching for Love outside
And when you think it's it then your bubble burst
Feeling cursed
Or maybe worst
Spirit the nurse
The doctor
Even at the lowest point still got ya
Look
See
Still breathing
Still receiving
The Love of The Most High
Sigh
Sigh
Please
Just look inside
Yea at times a rollercoaster ride
But away with foolish pride
Let The Divine within be your guide
Love is infinite
And never leaves
Ourselves we spite
With wants n needs
Sewing seeds
Of destruction
Negativity & corruption
Here comes the eruption
Whirlwind
Spiritual volcano
Spewing up out to through
Everyting iNna this flow
Funny not funny
We already know
And still choose to blow
Malice n hate
Argument n debate
Haaahaaaaaa
It is hilarious
Cos all must be
And we
Learn from tasting da dust
Biting da dust
From the bottom we're thrust
Trust
Spirit always reminding
Breaking n grinding
To help us be finding
The 1ne true Love
That lives n remains in the essence of
Every1ne n everyting that does be
Find yourself n find the ultimate key
Bathing in the beauty
The tranquility
At peace with self brings peace with everybody
So what's it all about
I'll buy you gifts today n say
I Love you
Hmmm
I'll Love you more
For every moment you endure
My slips my slides
My ego n pride
Thank you
For accepting me for who what I am
What a beautyfilled feeling stretching forth ma hand
Let ma light shine
I am Divine
Bending perception of mind
To align
That which is to be aligned
Every1ne remember yes
Remember you're blessed
Partner no partner
It's on you to manifest
Your desires
Your dreams
Choose misery n worry or choose streams of infinite beams
Laugh
Smile
Give thanx
Appreciate
And I promise your Love will multiply n create
A beautyfilled feeling inside
A place of appreciation n contentment maybe even the perfect husband or bride
Unless
Ya find it in yourself 1st

About this poem:
Looking for somebody to make you happy will never work. You must find your own joy, your own happy before you go seeking a partnerWhen you are both already happy in your own skin you will only make each other happier
If 1ne is happy & the other is feeding off of them then it can only end badly
Self Love first makes for a longer lasting relationship
Life
To live a life of easy living is to dream
To live a life for yourself is selfish
To live a life for others is honest
To live a life of war is sad
To live a life care free is without purpose
To live life for life sake is a blessing
All of this is good bad and other
I love to live for love is there better.
To live a life for yourself is selfish
To live a life for others is honest
To live a life of war is sad
To live a life care free is without purpose
To live life for life sake is a blessing
All of this is good bad and other
I love to live for love is there better.

About this poem:
The life you, I, and others seek is life itself. Is there anything need to be said.
Heart Felt
the best things in life
cannot be seen
or touched
just felt in the heart
and the heart grows stronger
when shared by we two
cannot be seen
or touched
just felt in the heart
and the heart grows stronger
when shared by we two

Post Commentthe bookstore
tommy was the skipper on the tugboat 'whiskey smoke`.. he lived for his two husky dogs and loved his rum and coke..
twenty one and crazy.. I was rougher than the quay.. tommy was like a father.. who saved myself from me..
tommy told a story.. of a girl he lost to time.. and the price you pay forever when you discard something sublime..
"I'll call it the bookstore and let me make this bold.. no book in this here store is ever getting sold.."
" nineteen hundred and fifty-six.. I first met Vanessa fair.. her eyes kinda made me seasick.. I'd go swimming in her hair..
but I was young and foolish, couldn't keep it my pants.. I was ruled by rum and other blondes.. it was just a temporary dance.."
"every book I have is her memory.. I can read her anytime.. but I've paid the price of losing her.. every dollar, cent and dime"..
tommy died ten years ago.. I now skipper whiskey smoke.. he left me his two huskies pups..
I call 'em rum and coke

About this poem:
I wish to challenge others to write and post an acrostic on a theme of their choice.I dedicate this challenge to GingerGee.
All One (Definition, Triangular, Nonet)
A
single

a oneness, all
encompassing, sums
everything we now own.
Possessions of no value
defining how we are assessed.
Judged, without the monad of our souls

About this poem:
Definition poetry as the word suggests, defines the subject.Triangular poems, are one of the shapes you can make a poem conform to, in shape or concrete poetry.
Nonets are poems of nine lines, where the first line is one syllable, and you add one syllable to each subsequent line, until the ninth line has nine syllables.
i will push on...
I bend but not broken down.
I may have lost, but I'm not a loser.
I've failed, but I'm not a failure.
I've fallen hard and will get up and continue.
I been isolated, but i don't care.
I have been destroyed but i will rebuild.
My heart is broken, but I will fix it.
See, no matter how close I come to breaking,I will continue to push on.
I may have lost, but I'm not a loser.
I've failed, but I'm not a failure.
I've fallen hard and will get up and continue.
I been isolated, but i don't care.
I have been destroyed but i will rebuild.
My heart is broken, but I will fix it.
See, no matter how close I come to breaking,I will continue to push on.
