For I know that I am drowning
It is a wondrous death
As I gaze upon your beauty
So soft and gentle, as you
Where the whirlpools of your eyes
Draw me in, ever deeper and deeper
But I have no fear
For I can see only you
It is not the stars in your eyes
Nor the ruby roses of your smile
Or the silky pallor of you skin
Nay it is none of these
As fine as they are
For I have been taken
And forever lost
Within the depth of your soul

Faded jeans cling to you
As you grin your silly grin
Your cotton blouse too
Displays your beauty again
A perkiness thats unique
Of a woman much younger
The child within you speaks
And the world is a wonder
Making cookies with your
Boisterous granddaughters
Shows all the very more
Your love for all that matters
With the laughter of a child
And the woman you have been
The sweetness of of your smile
Reveals the beauty within
A woman wise but tender
Compassionate and true
My heart can only surrender
And then give itself to you

Something a bit lighter
Post Comment
Lightning, thunder and dark storms
Crown this God forsaken land
Just as the meadows
Once a landscape of blooms
Of butterflies and dandelions
Became a haven of the doomed
We walk, caped with fear
Worn from the deepest of our souls
Ill fated on the very day of our birth
We live to die, every second
For hatred and ingratitude
We are eternally consumed
But there is a way
Turn around and change
Hardened hearts be softened
Replace insults and arrogance
Into humility and repentance
I know we can, we truly can.
Let go our human frailty
Let us thrive and aspire humility
Inspire and raise our hands
Let us all join our brother's hand
Peace and love, joy and compassion
A beautiful life to be reckoned.
For each and all, we're brothers and sisters
With love and unity, forever, we should be
And this doomed and God forsaken land
Will once again, be our refuge and heaven.
Can we all join each other then
So peace, love, happiness is ours again....
Shall we?

In immortilezing a mortal thing from it's decay;
there is much virtues to endlesly learn and master,
to eternize magic pen.
Many of us Poets will glow for moment or two
Some with fame and some feel washed away,
by coming waves of new Masters of pen
that writes in vain jewel so sweet to tresure;
takes breath away with valleys of Heaven,
shedows,light,
rainbow spectrum of collars in the human soul of emotions,
all this worth for the white rose cry,
rad rose laugh...in desiring man's art.
And in each splendind tear of human strive,
that vibrates like music in the memory,
mingles in kissing ocean
We're listening world beat that dances
In one spirit of Poets
In one spirit that touch us all
Being inspired
Dreaming throught the links of love
with lightest breath as one
Tremble under feet of Thy thoughts
that makes us lost in blossom of love
Wekening in legs when waiting at heaven's gate
with fleeting vision
To met his eye and smile that sings
Hymns of glorious sweetness
To the love of true minds
To the love of true hearts
that bears it out to the edge of time.
And in this brief breath of mortal life
In sparkling babble of the moment
In a blink of an eye
We live
We die
With flesh lighten into eyes and heart
of golden morning of love
Longingly looking upon you
To kiss once again
before I die.

One day passing stranger come to me in rose garden
and I am out of words to describe how beautiful she is;
I couldn't take my eyes of her,feeling tenderly drowsy,
electrified and my legs refused to walk away.
She took me by the hand and said;
"Shell we dance?" so with hipnotising embraces I followed her
and ask her name;
With childish giggles she replied;
"You don't need my name to laugh with me but if you must know;
I am Love.
Take time,don't give yourself to me as full spoon of honey,
I can get full too fast and be sick.
Dance with me as if no one watching you,
Drink with me slowely as rad wine should be taken with care"
I was puzzled and question Love;
"Love,forgive me,I didn't know you're wise.
Your second name is Fire,
You burn down many houses,
and some call you Fool and Crazy.
Is there any reason in your madness ?"
Love laugh and laugh,
dancing around in collarful ferry dress,with giggles of a child,
than she gave me a tender look and spoken;
"Thrust me with all
you would normally treat with the deepest suspicion,
I will teach you all things as you must learn how to win me.
I can be difficult;need much labour and a long time.
I am Immortal,
People call me by many names,
Not everyone can understand me,
Many sufferes great pain because of me,
but do not fear me as I am life itself
when you truly live.
Give yourself to me with full heart,
I am honest,honoured me,
I give you a glims of heaven,
And if you discover my secret,
I will cure you from all ills and
wrongs,the sorrows,and the crimes of humanity,
if you allowed me to always live in you,
not some times,not for a passing moment,
but always."
Love laugh and laugh,with giggles of a child,
feeling me with the depth,delight,the ectasy,
and I couldn't resist my curiosity but ask;
"Love,what is your secret?"
Love replied gracefully;
"Endless forgiveness."

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.

Love forever eludes me perhaps because it flies on angelic wings
And yet my earth bound body is beneath the weight of gravity
Its like following a rainbow to an end I'll never see
Or like chasing the horizon as it falls away from me
Will I ever find that pot of gold and embrace a warm sunset
With my heart on sandy shores beneath a sky I won't forget
To become envious of the moon as it illuminates her face
Gently dancing across her skin as it adorns with utter grace
Then inhale the scent of beauty as her lips press next to mine
As I watch the midnight sky reflect inside her radiant eyes
and in her starry shade
Of dim and solitary loveliness
I learn’d the language of another world
That I've found deeply within a kiss

If we were stars in cosmogyral space,
Lost apart in nacreous endless blue,
To seek, I would like gossamer embrace,
Upon a moonbeam, destination....you.
In reminiscence of your twinkling light,
I'd fall for your aeolian warm rays,
Our fusion to ignite the lonesome night,
As showers of stardust calm our fiery blaze.
Together we could disappear through time,
To float in ataraxial deep love,
Like poets entwined in pure celestial rhyme,
In Heavens reverence 'mid stars above.
Drifting through soft moonlight psiturism,
Forever lost in dazzling starry prism.

I wish I could write a sonnet tonight.
I wish I could make it sweet for you.
I wish I could make it rhyme and right.
I wish I could though I don’t know how to.
=+-=+-=+=+-=+-=+=
I know I can never write a sonnet.
I know a sonnet is so hard for me.
I know that I am not a good poet.
I know I’m only ‘the sun and the sea’
=+=+-=+-=+=
So, how could I let you know that I care?
How could I show you what I feel inside?
I'd love to take away all your nightmare.
I’d love to shed every tear when you cried.
=+-=+-=+=+-=+-=+=
I wish the angels could give me more time,
So that, I’d say “I LOVE YOU ALL” in rhyme.

how sweet indeed to love who we love
who we promise forever and never lasts
whom we cherish and offer our hearts
for always, never to end, we never part
we commit, we hope, we join our hands
we set the depths in our hearts and minds
that we will not betray nor look around
and condition ourselves forever bound
but sometimes, life becomes too much
we do make mistakes and why not
we are but humans and always err
but we always attempt to do better
well my friends, my sisters and brothers
today is the day we have to remember
to make our love show, enjoy each other
for today is a sweet valentine's day
and so life goes for us all to share
this sweet memorial to lover's day
for love is a love that is so sweet
so let's be happy then and celebrate
HAPPY VALENTINE'S TO ALL OF US
SINGLE OR PERHAPS NOT
IF YOU ARE WITH SOMEONE ENJOY
AND EVEN IF YOU ARE ALONE
STILL ENJOY. l LOVE YOU ALL.
