online today!A Roundup For MacDuff :)
Feral words that demand freedom
Strain against the trap of my heart;
Wild eyed and stomping,
They quiver, whirl and falsely start.
They struggle in their confinement
Jostling, circling they seek escape;
Round the perimeters
They somehow form and shape.
Feral words that demand freedom
Have charged and broken down the gate;
Bucking and snorting,
They run blindly into their fate.
A great abyss swallows them whole
They run through the bit and it's pull;
Never to be seen again
Words escaped from a heart too full.
Strain against the trap of my heart;
Wild eyed and stomping,
They quiver, whirl and falsely start.
They struggle in their confinement
Jostling, circling they seek escape;
Round the perimeters
They somehow form and shape.
Feral words that demand freedom
Have charged and broken down the gate;
Bucking and snorting,
They run blindly into their fate.
A great abyss swallows them whole
They run through the bit and it's pull;
Never to be seen again
Words escaped from a heart too full.

About this poem:
Defining words of horses. This was written on an observation of rounded up two-year old colts and fillies. At birth they are imprint trained, halter and lead broke. Then they are turned out to pasture to grow and thrive. At their two year birthday, they are rounded up and vaccinated, gelded as needed and saddle trained. Imprint training works wonders. After a few tense moments, they settle down and remember the imprint training. They handle very well and training them is a breeze. :-)
Played a fool
Played a fool
Cried enough tears to fill a pool
I thought you were my missing jewel
I was never anything more then a toy
Used by you, a baby boy
Took away all of my joy
You knocked me down
Give me a week
I'll be back on my feet
I'm glad I saw you for who you are
Time to get in my car
Drive away far
There has to be somebody who will love me
Now to dust off my knees
dry my eyes
Hear no more lies
Say my good byes
Cried enough tears to fill a pool
I thought you were my missing jewel
I was never anything more then a toy
Used by you, a baby boy
Took away all of my joy
You knocked me down
Give me a week
I'll be back on my feet
I'm glad I saw you for who you are
Time to get in my car
Drive away far
There has to be somebody who will love me
Now to dust off my knees
dry my eyes
Hear no more lies
Say my good byes

Spring Breeze
How do you make your eyes
Smile at me like an orchid
Dancing in a field of grass
Drawing me closer and closer
Circling like a hungry bee
Thirsting to taste your nectar
Still I dare not touch you
Can I hold back
And just hover
My love forever
Why am I so afraid
I'll never hurt someone
As beautiful as you
Until you really see
How fragile is my love
How much I need you
As much as you need me
As tender as our lips
Softly as you please
So is Love as gentle
As a spring breeze

About this poem:
Springtime Romance !! So .....let someone know how you feel about them, but ever so gently!! ok?
Midnight Concophany!
Moonlight stroll Seashore
Gritty sand tickling soft toes,
Distant whale cries, lullaby,
Sea foam slapping rocks,
Scent of wet sand slight taste of sea-salt
Gulls screeching Good night!
Gritty sand tickling soft toes,
Distant whale cries, lullaby,
Sea foam slapping rocks,
Scent of wet sand slight taste of sea-salt
Gulls screeching Good night!

About this poem:
Was thinking of the ocean at late hour
All of Our Lives are Planned
Walking down my road one day I see a little tree,
It seems so lost and alone, it reminds me of… me,
Not really having a place in this world, not knowing what to do,
But sure to grow up big and strong, this I know is true,
Feeling small and in the way of everyone around us,
Seeming like a pesky insignificant piece of dust,
Finally growing up into a beautiful adult,
Realizing that everything that happens is not always our fault,
Knowing that no matter what we have a place on this earth,
If we didn’t why would god have made us from his hearth?
Apparently we have a reason for being created,
But right now we’ll just have to wait and try to not feel jaded,
None of us can tell the future and find out what’s to be,
We can’t unlock the door to it with a little key,
That little tree reminded me of who and what I am,
That every thing on this earth has its life planned.
It seems so lost and alone, it reminds me of… me,
Not really having a place in this world, not knowing what to do,
But sure to grow up big and strong, this I know is true,
Feeling small and in the way of everyone around us,
Seeming like a pesky insignificant piece of dust,
Finally growing up into a beautiful adult,
Realizing that everything that happens is not always our fault,
Knowing that no matter what we have a place on this earth,
If we didn’t why would god have made us from his hearth?
Apparently we have a reason for being created,
But right now we’ll just have to wait and try to not feel jaded,
None of us can tell the future and find out what’s to be,
We can’t unlock the door to it with a little key,
That little tree reminded me of who and what I am,
That every thing on this earth has its life planned.

Forked Lightning.
Your eyes on me
my eyes in yours
kiss me
forked lightning
hot and white
sky to earth...
Root of flowers
soars from earth
beneath our feet
outside a tree in bloom...
Our garden
our hearts
flutter
We rebuild
shattered trust...

About this poem:
A kiss is one of the most sensual things two lovers can share...
online today!Pania
We met in Newtown* 'twas a dinner party
At St Peters* I kissed you in a lane
My head was swimming and I felt swoon dizzy
Now both of us had made our feelings plain.
The fount of love had over flowed with plenty
And I could see that now you felt the same; -
From there was only one place then to head
That was quickly - to my room - and into bed.
Your hair fell down - in soft cascades all over
White shoulders - in lovely jet black rivulets
I felt a need - as a young man - to take cover
Amid those tresses - and longed just to forget
My childhood pain - taking you my lover
Your alabaster skin - there's no regret-
We found our selves lost in a private fancy
And for a time found sweet intimacy.
Now chasing this affection our young days
I was twenty two - you twenty seven
For three months every day sweet love we made
Something innocent there was - close to heaven -
If there were others - then they were betrayed
Whatever that we had now had to happen -
First now at my place - and then at yours -
Fantastic love was writing its own laws.
First at St Peters where we couldn't stop
What we had started there the night before
You stayed three days and I could no more hope
To stay what others may at first deplore
And after this it seems we must elope
Bound for your flat in Crows Nest* and some more; -
Becoming now our bower in the city
This love some never know - and mores the pity.
Your figure full - an hourglass perfect made
Your eyes as soft as mist with a moist dew
Reclining on your couch in dark brocade
That was when we found what lovers knew
In ages gone before us - now not delayed
Trust not known to many - perhaps a few
To tie a lover's knot and make real a fantasy-
Swimming in the ocean of our destiny.
Half Irish, half Maori, and all beautiful
That's when I loved your body and its curves -
Loves rich bounty now becoming plentiful
In floods of passion where we lost ourselves.
Sweet recollections still are bountiful -
As cradled within time your memory dwells -
Those feelings that encompassed sweet delight -
Where we lost ourselves to love most ev'ry night.

A Christmas Snow------monorhyme
A Christmas Snow
The soft snow flakes fall gently coating
the land, which to white is turning.
Trees brushed white stand gleaming
as Christmas dawns with sunlight bursting.
A hush settles as people start stirring
emotions high, children in the snow delighting.
Soft and pristine white as the wind sets it flurrying
its touch a whisper as it brushes cheeks now settling.
Magical flakes of pure white glistening and sparkling,
while icicles translucent adorn trees decorating
their branches and trunks with colour reflecting.
The people filled with awe as Jesus they are welcoming.

About this poem:
Simon and Garfunkel's "The Sounds of Silence" was, and remains, my favourite song of all time. I spent many hours listening to it.Silence is the canvas on which all sounds are painted.
I have tried to capture its essence with this haiku.
I am not sure how others will respond to it but it is deeply personal to me.
