Last Commented Chant Poems (68)

Bats love the nighttime
And witches love to brew...
Ghosts like to haunt things
And holler out BOO!!!

But me?
I just love thinking about Y-O-U!

When witches go riding
And black cats are seen,
The moon laughs throatily
'Tis near Halloween

When you're all alone in the country
And the night is dark as pitch
Just be bold 'cause you've been told
There's no such thing as a witch.

Howdy everyone, old and new! Boy, have I missed you old members!

I'm ReaderOfSouls for you new to the Poetry Corner. :-) I'm a Texas ranch raised, working horse and cattle ranch owner/operator who proudly served our military and I am a detective with my local County Sheriff's Department. I specialize in Child Sex Crime, so I have seen the worst of the worst and it's all gritty and grim. Having a positive, happy attitude has not only helped, but I just can't help but share it with all that I meet. I choose to not live in darkness.:-) I'm strong, tough but fair. I'm more than happy to listen to someone and my mailbox here is always open. :-) I've been writin' poetry since I was 8 years old and customarily write Cowboy Poetry. I've competed at Cowboy Gatherings and rodeos and my biggest poetry influences are Badger Clark (which also happens to be a familial name) and Baxter Black. I've been 'hitched' to my better half- Mr. Bear for 29 years now. He has written some work about love and life that I have posted through my account here. :-) I occasionally write a bit of descriptive cowboy humor as you will find in the vast catalogue of my writings. :-)

I look so forward to meeting you all and to re-connect with all of those familiar.

Darkness hails
Purple blue flashes
White lightning
Booms and cracks
Stretch across darkened skies
Hail wind blows gust those teeth of flashes
Boom s across lightning flashes
freezing rain lashes whips of light cracks the blackened sky
Dreams of night pure darkness rains
One Looks and stares one looks ponders the lightning and rain one seeks solitude one hides from the flashes darkness rains the boom and flashes morning descends lights up the sky glint of blue the sky's so bright rain has stopped peace regained

The clock chimes the hour
Time ticks bye
Seconds become minutes
Minutes become that hour
Time ticks bye slowly ticking bye time now gone now stolen one says good bye those minute now gone stolen they become
Hours they become days
Days become weeks
Weeks become years
Years become decades
Where has time gone

I dream of you to kiss those lips wanting you
I dream of you each day
Shy to talk shy to approach

I dream of what to say
Your hair dazzles me takes
my breath I can hardly breath
I drown in breath

To be near you to hold you close
To taste those lips
Your my princess held pedistals high

I want to be near you to hold you
Talk to you to kiss you
my wanting feelings for you
But I hide from you from a far

From other ends of this earth
I dream of you
hoping I can be with you my love how I miss who you are


my one true love

Do you feel the breeze
Wind envelopes sways the tree
Branches now blown away
Dancing in the breeze
Birds hold on tight
Blown from their peaches
That wind howls tonight winds gather up
Rain facets paces darkened skies night and day darken
Lightning flashes hail wind and rain
Leaves blown by the force the trees stand nearly bare
for all to see
Branches leafy fallen on the road the fields
Darkness fade winds fade sky's brighten the sunny sky once again
Sun shines bright leaves appear
The trees live again

You feel a breath a icy chill
Cold to touch
You stand and stir on edge
Was something Thier
From corners eye you spy
This thing a person stands and stirs
Icy breath that chills your bones
You stand and watch for no person there they see you as you watch and stare
Cold to touch they follow you
Out the blue they gone from you
That spectre of the night
How it gave you a fright
Was that a ghost you seen tonight oh it did give you a fright

Short days
Darkness surrounds
One sits alone hearing the echos the load noises the cars going bye from the world outside

One sits and dwells you are alone no one cares
No one knocks - are you ok
No rings your door to see if your ok
No one no one no one
Your once best friends your
Family
You once had a life
Now you sit and weep
No one cares your alone
You sit in the dark you hide
No one cares your alone

Six sides
I can not move look within
These six walls
Contained ears closed
To the dreams around
I can't bare the sounds
The scream the bangs
Locked within these walls
Of others locked in these walls
Where I am now stripped of motion of warmth I feel cold
I shiver from cold and the deafness of sound
How did I become locked inside
These six walls

I felt a poem in me
Growing like a tree
Wild and free
At the very edge
Where words emerge
To the croon 
Of a gentle tune
Despite the winter cold
And crazy world 
With swaying
Branches of words
And singing birds    
Rehearsing my song 
All day long
