Solace and Liberation
During those times of uncertainty
Spinning around a pedestal
Trying to decide how best
A threshold to cross over
Alone all the confusion feels
Like the weight of gravity
Pressure felt all around
When comes kind words
A simple gesture gives
A whole presence guides
Encourages every step
The grateful heart is lifted
By the sheer presence of
Of a powerful understanding
When there is no judgement
Only words of solace and liberation
Spinning around a pedestal
Trying to decide how best
A threshold to cross over
Alone all the confusion feels
Like the weight of gravity
Pressure felt all around
When comes kind words
A simple gesture gives
A whole presence guides
Encourages every step
The grateful heart is lifted
By the sheer presence of
Of a powerful understanding
When there is no judgement
Only words of solace and liberation

About this poem:
A helping hand that means a lot
You
Always there in times of despair,
words so pure
Knowing, my fears
Always, there
showing, you care
Never, letting me down
Not so, much as a frown
The tenderness, in your heart
It's a beautiful, work of art
I never thought it possible,
not to be judged
To be, unconditionally loved
You, make me laugh
You, make me cry
Never, telling a lie
Such is a rare find
I'm, proud to say
You are, my best friend
To the very end of time.

Post CommentFading Flower
My flower is fading
Losing some of its
Summer bloom
Fading fast from glory
A brilliant sun does pass
Baked into perfection
From such tender roots
To the heaven bound buds
Rising to the top of all high
Like a personal resurrection
Albeit one best not surpassed
I give you my morning
My best indication of all
Just tender loving care
Is all I will ever need
Losing some of its
Summer bloom
Fading fast from glory
A brilliant sun does pass
Baked into perfection
From such tender roots
To the heaven bound buds
Rising to the top of all high
Like a personal resurrection
Albeit one best not surpassed
I give you my morning
My best indication of all
Just tender loving care
Is all I will ever need

About this poem:
It’s a seasonal thing....... heading towards late summer.
FRIENDS.....
A day when grey skies and rain doesn't matter
Your inner sun, and friends warming chatter
Lift your spirts, making you smile and chuckle
Nothing upsets you, in a busy timetable juggle
On other days, you may have fought back tears
Yet these special days, the outcome is clear
Attitude and confidence, will win through
You feel blessed, and that is the only clue
These days so special, teach us to smile
Learning to remember, and retain on file
Tucked away deep, in our emotional core
Memories kept safe, until needed once more
I had one of these special days, last week
Friendship surrounded me, feelings so deep
That will warm me on chilly times in life
When we fight to overcome, what we call strife
Your inner sun, and friends warming chatter
Lift your spirts, making you smile and chuckle
Nothing upsets you, in a busy timetable juggle
On other days, you may have fought back tears
Yet these special days, the outcome is clear
Attitude and confidence, will win through
You feel blessed, and that is the only clue
These days so special, teach us to smile
Learning to remember, and retain on file
Tucked away deep, in our emotional core
Memories kept safe, until needed once more
I had one of these special days, last week
Friendship surrounded me, feelings so deep
That will warm me on chilly times in life
When we fight to overcome, what we call strife

Tommy
I'm the strongest man in Ireland said tommy to his friend,
I'm the strongest man in Ireland it's hard to comprehend,
I'm the strongest man in ireland said tommy to his friend,
His friend kicked tommy in the balls,
The end,
The end,
The end.

"Captivated by a smile"
Have you ever been captivated by a smile?
Like mesmerized, deer caught in head lights.
Breath taking, heart racing, beating a minute a mile.
I couldnt believe such beauty was in my sights.
You left me in awe, the moment I saw your picture roslov434.

About this poem:
I dont really do this, but "oh my gosh, this woman has a beautiful smile"The Last Bonfire
Under gray billowing clouds the gulls flew
In the bitter wind when first snowflakes grew
Whipped into funnels to the ground they blew
Filling in cracks between the rocks askew
On the horizon a pale dull sun did drop
And the darkness crept up ‘till the shadows
Converged all around when the day did stop
And stars became celestial rainbows
Huddled brave souls near last glowing embers
Within a ring of rocks was set ablaze
On icy shores our lake in November
One last bonfire to cheer the good ol’ days
A peaceful sound when each wave comes ashore
Was life counting the seasons more and more
In the bitter wind when first snowflakes grew
Whipped into funnels to the ground they blew
Filling in cracks between the rocks askew
On the horizon a pale dull sun did drop
And the darkness crept up ‘till the shadows
Converged all around when the day did stop
And stars became celestial rainbows
Huddled brave souls near last glowing embers
Within a ring of rocks was set ablaze
On icy shores our lake in November
One last bonfire to cheer the good ol’ days
A peaceful sound when each wave comes ashore
Was life counting the seasons more and more

About this poem:
Reflections of life along the shores of a big freshwater lake, where many years in our youth were like seasons when all would meet together and party around a large bonfire until the end of each season such as when the darkness and ice of winter came.FRIENDSHIPS.....
Friends can change a day, giving a lift
Caring and sharing, their special gift
Whether just a kind word, or a smile
If needed, they'll go the extra mile
They'll know when to listen, or talk
Maybe take us for a drive, or walk
Whatever, sincerity shines through
They can even arrive, right on cue
When our world seems to crumble
We feel unsteady, ready to stumble
A trusted voice, is there on the phone
Passing sad time together, not alone
Everyone needs family or friends
Positive support, readily they send
In person, or their voice or word
True friends, will always be heard...….

About this poem:
friends......can be close or miles away......true friendship matters.......
Leslie Ann
well you walk with a swagger
that's unearned
but it always fits you well
and you speak in a way
the warms the places
where them wildflowers dwell
a lady of undetermined age
I'd guess at forty-five or more
and each day comes as tide
and they break as waves
upon your kitchen floor
fierce as a hawthorn tree
warm as the sun
and cold as air
and your flowers grow through oil
plate and steel
like the barrel wasn't there
Oh Leslie Ann
I wonder what song
is on your mind..?
are you sleeping in that garden chair
and leaving
all this modern world behind?
are your dreams
a Polaroid of a photo taken many years ago..?
as the sweet grass of peace
grows between your true heart
and your big toe
that's unearned
but it always fits you well
and you speak in a way
the warms the places
where them wildflowers dwell
a lady of undetermined age
I'd guess at forty-five or more
and each day comes as tide
and they break as waves
upon your kitchen floor
fierce as a hawthorn tree
warm as the sun
and cold as air
and your flowers grow through oil
plate and steel
like the barrel wasn't there
Oh Leslie Ann
I wonder what song
is on your mind..?
are you sleeping in that garden chair
and leaving
all this modern world behind?
are your dreams
a Polaroid of a photo taken many years ago..?
as the sweet grass of peace
grows between your true heart
and your big toe

Post CommentEnough
All the little ways
I appreciate you
Cannot be compiled
On a simple list
That says it enough
No time to worry
I just accept you
The way you are
And I want to share
How you’re enough
The way you know
When you walk
Into that room
Your love will
Always be enough
I appreciate you
Cannot be compiled
On a simple list
That says it enough
No time to worry
I just accept you
The way you are
And I want to share
How you’re enough
The way you know
When you walk
Into that room
Your love will
Always be enough
