LOVEEEEEE !
If I should think of love
I'd think of you, your arms uplifted,
Tying your hair in plaits above,
The lyre shape of your arms and shoulders,
The soft curve of your winding head.
No melody is sweeter, nor could Orpheus
So have bewitched. I think of this,
And all my universe becomes perfection.
But were you in my arms, dear love,
The happiness would take my breath away,
No thought could match that ecstasy,
No song encompass it, no other worlds.
If I should think of love,
I'd think of you.
I'd think of you, your arms uplifted,
Tying your hair in plaits above,
The lyre shape of your arms and shoulders,
The soft curve of your winding head.
No melody is sweeter, nor could Orpheus
So have bewitched. I think of this,
And all my universe becomes perfection.
But were you in my arms, dear love,
The happiness would take my breath away,
No thought could match that ecstasy,
No song encompass it, no other worlds.
If I should think of love,
I'd think of you.

About this poem:
LOVE IT!!
How You Shine
“How You Shine.”
By,
Michael P Clarke.
(Sonnet.)
Like the midday sunlight how you do shine
Your Love shines brightly just like molten sun
In dreams bright passion your Love it is mine
Blessings upon me for i am your one.
Above your head God’s bright eye does shine
You come into my arms i hold my world
In my life my eternal Valentine
For you my arms are ever held unfurled.
My Angel of moonlight Love is ours
Before the lake Love we shall consummate
Our passion and desire two mighty towers
Love is a dream we always contemplate.
Beloved i see you in the divine
When you are beside me how you do shine.

xmas where are you
Is it that time of year
With lots of cheer
We wish you a merry xmas
The cries ring out
Music plays we wish a merry xmas
I dont feel happy i feel sad
Gone is santa his present un opened
Lies where it was a decade ago
How the spirit broken the fun laughter gone
Should i laugh should i cry
My heart lays broken
Time flown
Decades gone
Where has xmas gone
With lots of cheer
We wish you a merry xmas
The cries ring out
Music plays we wish a merry xmas
I dont feel happy i feel sad
Gone is santa his present un opened
Lies where it was a decade ago
How the spirit broken the fun laughter gone
Should i laugh should i cry
My heart lays broken
Time flown
Decades gone
Where has xmas gone

America by Claude McKay
Although she feeds me bread of bitterness,
And sinks into my throat her tiger’s tooth,
Stealing my breath of life, I will confess
I love this cultured hell that tests my youth.
Her vigor flows like tides into my blood,
Giving me strength erect against her hate,
Her bigness sweeps my being like a flood.
Yet, as a rebel fronts a king in state,
I stand within her walls with not a shred
Of terror, malice, not a word of jeer.
Darkly I gaze into the days ahead,
And see her might and granite wonders there,
Beneath the touch of Time’s unerring hand,
Like priceless treasures sinking in the sand.
And sinks into my throat her tiger’s tooth,
Stealing my breath of life, I will confess
I love this cultured hell that tests my youth.
Her vigor flows like tides into my blood,
Giving me strength erect against her hate,
Her bigness sweeps my being like a flood.
Yet, as a rebel fronts a king in state,
I stand within her walls with not a shred
Of terror, malice, not a word of jeer.
Darkly I gaze into the days ahead,
And see her might and granite wonders there,
Beneath the touch of Time’s unerring hand,
Like priceless treasures sinking in the sand.

About this poem:
A black immigrants view of the US in the '20s, powerful and thought provoking. Have we really moved on? You could swap out the title with any other country and still the poem would make sense. That's indicative of the harsh reality of 21st century living
Love Sonnet XI
Pablo Neruda
Love Sonnet XI
I crave your mouth, your voice, your hair.
Silent and starving, I prowl through the streets.
Bread does not nourish me, dawn disrupts me, all day
I hunt for the liquid measure of your steps.
I hunger for your sleek laugh,
your hands the color of a savage harvest,
hunger for the pale stones of your fingernails,
I want to eat your skin like a whole almond.
I want to eat the sunbeam flaring in your lovely body,
the sovereign nose of your arrogant face,
I want to eat the fleeting shade of your lashes,
and I pace around hungry, sniffing the twilight,
hunting for you, for your hot heart,
like a puma in the barrens of Quitratue.

like a puma in the barrens of Quitratue.

Light From the Darkest Star (Paloma's Challenge)
Light from the darkest star shining on me
Travelling from blackest regions of space
Caught like the deepest creature in the sea
Wriggles in your net humble, needing grace
No longer hidden as I twist and turn
Shimmering light on my defenseless core
Trapped hopeless in the point of no return
Brings to surface what I try to ignore
There's no escaping great moments of truth
Twisting and turning my head in disgrace
Swimming in lies is really quite uncouth
When dimmest star light still shines on my face
Close to creation is found in the heart
Good love always sustains from the start

About this poem:
metaphor for truth,,,,, (originally posted in 2012)
The Wish
I picked up the phone
Many times tonight
Waiting for your messages
about a life you had before
The ghosts of love waiting at my door
My heart, It feels anticipation
my soul, it aches
apprehensive in mind
As the ghosts of love
Knock once more
The wish
To dream with you
To hold and Release
from a past unjust
To grow old....
As we become the ghosts of love once more

Sonnet No1
Shall I compare thee to a wet Monday?
Thou art more miserable and dull.
Watching TV, on thy couch doest thou lie,
guzzling snacks, yet ne’er seem full.
Oft-times too much the effort proves,
exertion for usefulness to devote.
thy sluggish body hardly moves,
save to press the buttons on thy remote.
Apart from thy telly, and need to be fed,
thou seem’st not to have any cares.
Thou doest not a thing betwixt sofa and bed
save to haul thy fat arse up the stairs.
As for contribution to society, to rest some pride upon,
‘tis with regret I say to thee, thou art a slob and maketh none.
Thou art more miserable and dull.
Watching TV, on thy couch doest thou lie,
guzzling snacks, yet ne’er seem full.
Oft-times too much the effort proves,
exertion for usefulness to devote.
thy sluggish body hardly moves,
save to press the buttons on thy remote.
Apart from thy telly, and need to be fed,
thou seem’st not to have any cares.
Thou doest not a thing betwixt sofa and bed
save to haul thy fat arse up the stairs.
As for contribution to society, to rest some pride upon,
‘tis with regret I say to thee, thou art a slob and maketh none.

About this poem:
My work sometimes requires me to visit people's homes, where I often get an insight into their lifestyle. This is an attempt to describe one in particular.
With in a Dream
---- IMAGE REMOVED because photobucket.com no longer allows embedded images ----
Twas the twilight creeping in thru morning
The lingering of your presence felt here still
The tears that stayed upon my heart and soul
Tears held captive no longer able to spill
Children's joys found by simple pleasures
As coffee cans turned into telephones
Skip to lou my darling darkness comes soon
Picture perfect tucked in our loving homes
Quiet leaves me here facing dreams of mist
Alive awake just not wanting to see
Preferring the comfort of the cozy
Staying in the realms of the dreams I'll be
Morning sun upon my face time to rise
Not wanting to leave my dreams how time flies

Sonnet 1
Let the world mock at me and express grin
With all its skills to the fullest desire.
Let them find faults with me and use words in
Their subversive speech to support satire.
Your world may treat me dull and crestfallen,
But you know that I am a burning fire
And it pains me, which do not know these men.
Neither with effort the world can it know
‘Cause pomp and power, by and by, is swollen.
The massive world becomes short and the glow
Of swagger and pride has a fine touch
Over blind citizens of this world they flow.
Let the world mock at me open as much
But it is a fact, my life has been such.
With all its skills to the fullest desire.
Let them find faults with me and use words in
Their subversive speech to support satire.
Your world may treat me dull and crestfallen,
But you know that I am a burning fire
And it pains me, which do not know these men.
Neither with effort the world can it know
‘Cause pomp and power, by and by, is swollen.
The massive world becomes short and the glow
Of swagger and pride has a fine touch
Over blind citizens of this world they flow.
Let the world mock at me open as much
But it is a fact, my life has been such.
