Some Dreams Never Last (sonnet)
Softly the breeze flows through scented meadows
gentle sounds of water from the rivers
and haunting notes of music crescendos
in the distant background from the speakers
A cascading shower of climbing roses
she waits for her lover impatiently
over his lateness she agonizes
at last his footsteps coming hurriedly
He catches her up in his arms and spins
round and round until dizzy they both fall
her heart and emotions are now tailspins
she loves knowing it could lead to downfall
For to another one he is promised
yet he tells her that his heart belongs to her
she knows that he is a materialist
at first it had seemed a great adventure
Sighing she tells him that he must depart
his plans of her seduction now thwart
gentle sounds of water from the rivers
and haunting notes of music crescendos
in the distant background from the speakers
A cascading shower of climbing roses
she waits for her lover impatiently
over his lateness she agonizes
at last his footsteps coming hurriedly
He catches her up in his arms and spins
round and round until dizzy they both fall
her heart and emotions are now tailspins
she loves knowing it could lead to downfall
For to another one he is promised
yet he tells her that his heart belongs to her
she knows that he is a materialist
at first it had seemed a great adventure
Sighing she tells him that he must depart
his plans of her seduction now thwart

Epitaph to Love.
Eyes I spoke of once, words that burnt then,
hands that cupped soft thy lovely face,
took me from myself for such a space
of time, marked me out from other men,
the waving hair of unmixed gold that shone
amid smiles that flashed with Angelic rays,
used to make this earth, a paradise ablaze,
are but now a little dust, all feeling gone,
I grief stricken, its darkness foreign to me,
alone where light I cherished never shows
in that fragile bark strewn on tempestuous sea,
so, let my loving song come to a close,
as this my Lyric turns to tearful sigh,
the vein of my accustomed art is dry.

About this poem:
This but a futile to express grief, there are many amonst you who can pen better.I Remember.
How first I grazed upon your outward view,
a perfected bloom in full maturity,
where, smiles upon thy countenance ever grew
wider far than the sea's untamed enormity,
clothed the common air with moonlight's pearly blue,
that vanished not with life's troubled hours,
thy being, e'er bright eyed as exotic flowers,
loiters long, rich bathed by twilight's hue,
yet thy presence like as the sun full glowing,
that dress harsh winter in it's golden light,
within thy heart, flourish green fields delight,
yet alas! the world would pass without full knowing,
Such is this truth that rides the Ocean's swell,
Such is this truth, this poet pen doth tell.
a perfected bloom in full maturity,

About this poem:
Just a Love Letter.
Liar
Winds howling whipping tearing their way thru
Currents strengthening swelling with their pride
You yes you begging from release from lies
Damn them they will not have a place to hide
Moonlight shining on darkened battlefield
Yellow glow caressing imperfect man
Looking up appearing at the angel
Justice had been served not as he had planned
Looking in the mirror what does one see
Is it true you or has it been revised
To see ones self with blemishes and all
Is freedom from having to fight the lies
To ones self it is so easy to lie
In the end truth is with us when we die

By Candlelight
I gaze into your lovely eyes,
Reflecting candle's glow,
While in the backgrond gentle sighs,
Of music playing low.
A glass of wine we sip and share,
Here in the candlelight.
Together in an easy chair,
We hold each other tight.
When two romantics such as we,
Have moments such as this,
We join as we were meant to be,
In love's impassioned kiss.
The candle's flame has dwindled low,
And music has long gone,
But we continue our sweet, slow,
Love-making til the dawn...
...As our two hearts entwine,
In one love so divine.
Reflecting candle's glow,
While in the backgrond gentle sighs,
Of music playing low.
A glass of wine we sip and share,
Here in the candlelight.
Together in an easy chair,
We hold each other tight.
When two romantics such as we,
Have moments such as this,
We join as we were meant to be,
In love's impassioned kiss.
The candle's flame has dwindled low,
And music has long gone,
But we continue our sweet, slow,
Love-making til the dawn...
...As our two hearts entwine,
In one love so divine.

About this poem:
When we find each other...Simply Good Bye
Searching for the truth amongst many lies
Which friend or foe lover or deceiver
My heart broken beyond repair good bye
I kept wanting to turn the lie to truth
Looking into the mirror not at me
Different shapes different sizes nothing changed
A slight trick of the hand now you don't see
Magic trickery just an illusion
The curtain closed then opened all were gone
No closing bow no standing ovation
No illusion just me standing alone
A simple curtsy from a mere lady
The lights dimmed the room darkened then silence
Clarity became seen then all made sense
Which friend or foe lover or deceiver
My heart broken beyond repair good bye
I kept wanting to turn the lie to truth
Looking into the mirror not at me
Different shapes different sizes nothing changed
A slight trick of the hand now you don't see
Magic trickery just an illusion
The curtain closed then opened all were gone
No closing bow no standing ovation
No illusion just me standing alone
A simple curtsy from a mere lady
The lights dimmed the room darkened then silence
Clarity became seen then all made sense

About this poem:
Sometimes in life you have to except what you want to be true does not make it true. One day one might realize they are sitting in a room full of strangers. Kindness goes a long way life. Remember in life you are what you eat. You are what you put into your self. If you put love and kindness into yourself then that is what you will be, so if you find yourself feeding negativity into your life the sensiable thing to do is make changes if it is not where you want to be. Love to all.

Seldom do my thoughts roam so running wild
With such passion that lights my heart on fire
When you strolled by me your sweet smile beguiled
Nothing could stop the heat of my desire
Help me if you believe I cannot hide
There's no chance to escape your lovely eyes
Exists any place for more truth to confide
Without running away with deceit and lies
Life becomes like a universe divides
Step away from its center a distance
What will cause us an event to collide
Is plotting a course of least resistance
So next time you think we don't stand a chance
Remember what turns love into romance
With such passion that lights my heart on fire
When you strolled by me your sweet smile beguiled
Nothing could stop the heat of my desire
Help me if you believe I cannot hide
There's no chance to escape your lovely eyes
Exists any place for more truth to confide
Without running away with deceit and lies
Life becomes like a universe divides
Step away from its center a distance
What will cause us an event to collide
Is plotting a course of least resistance
So next time you think we don't stand a chance
Remember what turns love into romance

About this poem:
Abstract about how two items in the universe attract and collide despite all the forces that propels them away from each other...kind of like love and physics....maybe....perhaps??? :)online today!My Celestial Lover
Dreamy goddess of distance and romance
Far beyond my lonely world do you reign
In fields of wild flowers watch floating dance
Your flowing headress made of daisy chain
Long days working in fields of dusty haze
A farmer's life tilling the good brown earth
At first evening star I rest and will gaze
Fruits of my labor bring to you such mirth
Every sunrise I greet with great pleasure
Your graceful perfections smile down on me
Thankful each season's for fullest measure
Smile back into your soft radiant eyes
Great Ceres make multiple my hay bales
Run wild the foxes with flamming tails
Far beyond my lonely world do you reign
In fields of wild flowers watch floating dance
Your flowing headress made of daisy chain
Long days working in fields of dusty haze
A farmer's life tilling the good brown earth
At first evening star I rest and will gaze
Fruits of my labor bring to you such mirth
Every sunrise I greet with great pleasure
Your graceful perfections smile down on me
Thankful each season's for fullest measure
Smile back into your soft radiant eyes
Great Ceres make multiple my hay bales
Run wild the foxes with flamming tails

About this poem:
A sonnet in tribute to the great Goddess Ceres.....she's so lovely!!!Sarah Montague
I’ve fallen in love with Sarah Montague.
I hear her voice and I cannot resist,
I fall deeper with every interview,
yet she doesn’t know I exist.
I know it’s just a fantasy,
and I know we’ll never meet.
And I know she’d walk straight past me
if I saw her on the street.
Then she comes to me through my radio,
and the World is a wonderful place.
And I’m hearing her voice in stereo,
and all that’s missing is her face.
I love Sarah Montague, I love her more and more.
To understand why I love her, tune in to BBC Radio 4.
I hear her voice and I cannot resist,
I fall deeper with every interview,
yet she doesn’t know I exist.
I know it’s just a fantasy,
and I know we’ll never meet.
And I know she’d walk straight past me
if I saw her on the street.
Then she comes to me through my radio,
and the World is a wonderful place.
And I’m hearing her voice in stereo,
and all that’s missing is her face.
I love Sarah Montague, I love her more and more.
To understand why I love her, tune in to BBC Radio 4.

Every week day at one p.m. the object of my heart’s desire hosts a news programme on the radio.
online today!Back to Earth
So fair and fickle as a full grown child
Youth is captured in your radiant smile
A name you chose to become more styled
Is masking what you've been known for awhile
When fame and fortune replacing your soul
Is not something you ever consider
Why wonder why life is out of control
When you sell life to the highest bidder
The limelight glows on the stage you enter
For turning back is out of the question
A spotlight shines on you front and center
And accounts for your manic depression
When fame sets you apart from the masses
Time to take off those rose colored glasses
Youth is captured in your radiant smile
A name you chose to become more styled
Is masking what you've been known for awhile
When fame and fortune replacing your soul
Is not something you ever consider
Why wonder why life is out of control
When you sell life to the highest bidder
The limelight glows on the stage you enter
For turning back is out of the question
A spotlight shines on you front and center
And accounts for your manic depression
When fame sets you apart from the masses
Time to take off those rose colored glasses
