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!!
WHEN GOD IS NUMBER ONE!
WHEN GOD IS NUMBER ONE EVERYTHING ELSE ADD UP!
There's a famous old story about a man who was sleeping at night in his cabin when suddenly his room filled with light, and God appeared. The Lord told the man He had a work for him to do, and showed him a large rock in front of the cabin. The Lord explained that the man was to push against the rock with all his might......... So the man did, day after day. For years he toiled from sunup to sundown, his shoulders set squarely against the cold, massive surface of the un-moving rock, pushing with all of his might. Each night the man returned to his cabin sore and worn-out, feeling that his whole day had been spent in vain. Since the man was showing discouragement, the adversary{Satan} decided to enter the picture by placing thoughts into his weary mind: 'You have been pushing against that rock for long time, and it hasn't moved.' He gave the man the impression that the task was impossible and that he was a failure. These thoughts discouraged and disheartened the man. Satan said, 'Why kill your self over this? just put in your time, giving just the minimum effort; that will be good enough. That's what the fatigued man planned to do, but he still decided to make it a matter of prayer and take his troubled thoughts to God. 'Lord,' he said, 'I've labored long and hard in your service, putting all my strength to do what you've asked. Yet after all this time, I have not even budged that rock by half a millimeter. What's wrong? Why am I failing?'The Lord responded compassionately, 'My friend, when I ask you to serve me and you accepted, I told you that your task was to push against the rock with all of your strength, which you have done. Never did I mention to you that I expected you to move the rock. Your task was to push. And now you come to Me with your strength spent, thinking that you have failed. But is that really so?............. Look at your self, Your arms are now strong and muscled, your back sinewy and brown; your hands are callused from constant pressure, your legs have become massive and hard. Through opposition you have grown much, and your abilities now surpass that which you used to have. True, you haven't moved the rock. But your calling was to be obedient and to push and exercise your faith and trust in my wisdom. That you have done. Now my friend, I will move the rock.
Usually our additions to what He says get us in trouble and cause delays.
When God gives you a word, don't make a paragraph out of it. 'Yes, use the faith that moves mountains, but remember, it's He who will actually do it.'God never made a promise that was too good to be true. God made us, and God is able to empower us to do whatever He calls us to do. With God's strength behind you, His love with you, and His arms beneath you, you are more than sufficient for the days ahead of you. It's my observation and experience that nothing humanistic works out that well. All great things have God at the center of them. The man who put God first will find God with him right up to the last.
In everything you do, put God first, and He will direct and crown your efforts with success, says the Bible.
'Unless it includes believing God, it is not worthy of being called God's direction; every divine direction that we receive from God will include our believing Him. Saying 'impossible' always puts you on the losing side. If you dream big, believe big, and pray big, big things will happen. Most of the things that were worth doing in history had been declared impossible before they were done. The Bible says, Yes, be bold and strong! Banish fear and doubt! For remember, the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. Many people believe in God, but not many believe God. One of the most incredible states in which we can live our lives is in a continual position of trusting faith. Look to God, believe God. When you leave God out, you will find yourself without any invisible means of support.

About this poem:
GOD Motivational write up has always been my inspiration.
Old Weathervane
Old, turning blue copper on the barn’s roof
Always pointing true seldom standing still
Looking from the ground searching for some proof
While pushed around by all the winds of time
Giving us some meaning our lives become
Many random moments since we were born
Prone to falling by all the fates succumb
In knowledge and truth and by honor sworn
Won’t you point to me the way I should go
A direction to follow in my heart
Leads down which path of life I do not know
Just only when needing a place to start
For what purpose more will you ever serve
Guiding best those directions we deserve
Always pointing true seldom standing still
Looking from the ground searching for some proof
While pushed around by all the winds of time
Giving us some meaning our lives become
Many random moments since we were born
Prone to falling by all the fates succumb
In knowledge and truth and by honor sworn
Won’t you point to me the way I should go
A direction to follow in my heart
Leads down which path of life I do not know
Just only when needing a place to start
For what purpose more will you ever serve
Guiding best those directions we deserve

About this poem:
Written In tribute to my fellow poet, Cafetwo2010, and his poem called “Crossroads”, for you Jim, because you are such a great source of much inspiration to others here on the corner.
"Always Happy"
Always happy never sad,
You make others very glad,
You are like the sunshine on a cloudy day
You chase all of the clouds away.
\Always happy never sad,
Sometimes you make me so mad
You appear to be so honest and good
Bur deep within you are nothing but a hood.
\Always happy never sad,
Why couldn't I see that you were bad
I put all my faith and trust in you,
And now I realize that was a silly thing to do.
You make others very glad,
You are like the sunshine on a cloudy day
You chase all of the clouds away.
\Always happy never sad,
Sometimes you make me so mad
You appear to be so honest and good
Bur deep within you are nothing but a hood.
\Always happy never sad,
Why couldn't I see that you were bad
I put all my faith and trust in you,
And now I realize that was a silly thing to do.

About this poem:
About lost love.Interviewing Your Love
Why do I hide my greatest love from you
To only blend in with the grass that grows
Crowded by weeds when only neglect grew
Simply by now who really cares or knows
What creates love is life's greatest magnant
When it's really me you wanted to know
When attraction never becomes stagnant
Just another seed you wanted to sow
So show me a face so I may know you
Be grateful in your nourishment and care
Life is not competing in some game show
For silly people in the world to share
Only seek what you solely want to share
Only enough for you to want to care
To only blend in with the grass that grows
Crowded by weeds when only neglect grew
Simply by now who really cares or knows
What creates love is life's greatest magnant
When it's really me you wanted to know
When attraction never becomes stagnant
Just another seed you wanted to sow
So show me a face so I may know you
Be grateful in your nourishment and care
Life is not competing in some game show
For silly people in the world to share
Only seek what you solely want to share
Only enough for you to want to care

About this poem:
Just thinking about all the complex reasons why people like and respect each other.Eyes So Icy Blue
Time spreads apart many crests of a wave
Flow in cadence falling on sandy shores
Wash away any trace our souls to save
Even our footprints vanish mine and yours
Eyes shine like liquid stars so icy blue
Blind almost so pale in color make ghosts
Bumps up against darkness' glittering hue
Where deep green sea meet at the coasts
Forever drowned in a dream when each breath
A stench of decay mists into my breast
That what leaves behind after cheating death
Through rocky portals swirl a life compressed
A dank stormy night face a mighty sea
When gulls are crying and laughing at me
Flow in cadence falling on sandy shores
Wash away any trace our souls to save
Even our footprints vanish mine and yours
Eyes shine like liquid stars so icy blue
Blind almost so pale in color make ghosts
Bumps up against darkness' glittering hue
Where deep green sea meet at the coasts
Forever drowned in a dream when each breath
A stench of decay mists into my breast
That what leaves behind after cheating death
Through rocky portals swirl a life compressed
A dank stormy night face a mighty sea
When gulls are crying and laughing at me

About this poem:
A sinking feeling to describe the smell of death washing up upon a stormy shore as it conjures up fleeting images of time and mortality for 'who knows who we really are' when our whole life is only like footprints found in the sand...... here today and gone tomorrow......
^_^ I-LOVE-YOU-ALL ^_^

The Seer
Closing my eyes tightly yet still seeing
Time and time again I closed them tightly
Some things just never change always the same
The gift of seeing beyond ones eye sight
Usually unable to change the vision
Humans have a way of fighting the truth
Not wanting to believe what they can't see
Their always wanting the tangible proof
The pain is so great I can barely look
My heart already grieving for the loss
If I say would you believe me and change
If not would you turn and love be the cost
Wishing to tell you yet turning away
Hoping this time I will be wrong I pray
Time and time again I closed them tightly
Some things just never change always the same
The gift of seeing beyond ones eye sight
Usually unable to change the vision
Humans have a way of fighting the truth
Not wanting to believe what they can't see
Their always wanting the tangible proof
The pain is so great I can barely look
My heart already grieving for the loss
If I say would you believe me and change
If not would you turn and love be the cost
Wishing to tell you yet turning away
Hoping this time I will be wrong I pray

About this poem:
Just thoughts and ramblings.
" Lost Seashore"
My childhood was left behind
Now i am an old man
Forgiving mankind
i do my utmost as i can
Love laces in order to bind
Sometimes i feel like an icy pan
Human touch that i don´t find...
Maybe i am your unknown fan
You know you aren´t mine
As far as i see
i couldn´t reach...
There isn´t sunshine
Oh my honey bee
At this naked beach
Now i am an old man
Forgiving mankind
i do my utmost as i can
Love laces in order to bind
Sometimes i feel like an icy pan
Human touch that i don´t find...
Maybe i am your unknown fan
You know you aren´t mine
As far as i see
i couldn´t reach...
There isn´t sunshine
Oh my honey bee
At this naked beach

sometimes in my darkest thoughts Shakespeare plays
would a rose by any other name change
or would it remain in its state the same
I could dispel ignorance who to blame
I searched but could not find no difference
the cover it is the same inside out
Is it because I cannot see I'm blind
Or is it still the makings of its kind
You can cast upon any name you wish
Attach it upon like an albatross
But in the end it will remain the same
Who can our misconceptions really blame
When only in our eyes do we see change
The molecules already are arranged
