Friends
are people you can trust
that are there for you
when you are in need
real friends don't judge
just hold out their hands
smile and cheer you up
shake their finger at you
when you are out of line
most of all its a form of love
that helps to uplift you
makes you feel strong
ready to meet the new day
someone's shoulder to lean on
also to cry out your heart
most of all a person who shares
each little loss or joy with you
friendship is giving
but also its receiving
that are there for you
when you are in need
real friends don't judge
just hold out their hands
smile and cheer you up
shake their finger at you
when you are out of line
most of all its a form of love
that helps to uplift you
makes you feel strong
ready to meet the new day
someone's shoulder to lean on
also to cry out your heart
most of all a person who shares
each little loss or joy with you
friendship is giving
but also its receiving

About this poem:
you can never have too many real friends
Forty Years and Forty Nights
We should not howl loud into the hollow
Announcing all the world is doom and gloom
For time march not like death to a gallow
Waiting for the ol' volcano to plume
Forty years and forty nights an eon
Time measures deeper into space than light
Make our needs to suffer oblivion
Dulling our senses that once shone so bright
For fruits of our labor decay to dust
When the fading sky will swallow the sun
When great cracks rip across the earth's dry crust
The moment comes when darkness thus begun
Nothing safe but our spirit in the wind
Like a lonely owl keeping one eye skinned
Announcing all the world is doom and gloom
For time march not like death to a gallow
Waiting for the ol' volcano to plume
Forty years and forty nights an eon
Time measures deeper into space than light
Make our needs to suffer oblivion
Dulling our senses that once shone so bright
For fruits of our labor decay to dust
When the fading sky will swallow the sun
When great cracks rip across the earth's dry crust
The moment comes when darkness thus begun
Nothing safe but our spirit in the wind
Like a lonely owl keeping one eye skinned

About this poem:
Talking about one generation...in the ageless and timeless cycles of life...what all can we ever hope to understand about its fleeting nature?
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.Sonnet
Sitting here in the dark no reasoning
Watching as the world starts to awake
I'm always on the outside looking in
Not knowing which road for sure I will take
Cold wind upon my face sun heating me
Heart filled to the brim so full that it hurts
Passing miles through the ages, tides to sea
Seasons are a coming searching for me
Longing for the arms I am seeking for
No ties that bound me hold me back from you
I am like the calling of the echo
Surrounding finding you want have a clue
So much love to give to keep not for mine
Love to stay with you but not for this time

Post CommentMemory Lane (sonnet)
Take a walk today down memories lane
what is it that you remember the most
is it the childhood memories of Spain
maybe the first time you went to the coast
into the waves you ran without a care
dancing and tumbling you played carelessly
drifting out to sea you had a big scare
when saved your mother grasped you tightly
or could it be the day you fell in love
all starry eyed remembering that kiss
like a shooting star falling from above
never had experienced such bliss
memories last a lifetime don't fade
reminiscences can not be mislaid

About this poem:
never written one before so I asked Bill about how tofollowing the guidelines he sent me I wrote this
I guess its a load of rubbish
you have to start somewhere
sonnet
Yon lofty hills, dear lingering youth,
when we climbed life's sisyphean slope
amid tumbling rocks, yet struggled on in hope,
now, backward glance, on labours oft uncouth,
each blind day, we, green faith applied
upon the anvil of life's harsh forged sway,
each and every aching limb, relentlessly applied
the burning coals, to fire destinies unspoken play,
to climb the summits unattainable spoils,
those salad days inspired by trackless spheres aloft,
passion filled, like as when, both lover and artist toils,
flew on wings when life was green and soft,
despite the woes and destiny our constant foe,
we've sallied forth to Autumn's coloured glow.
when we climbed life's sisyphean slope
amid tumbling rocks, yet struggled on in hope,
now, backward glance, on labours oft uncouth,
each blind day, we, green faith applied
upon the anvil of life's harsh forged sway,
each and every aching limb, relentlessly applied
the burning coals, to fire destinies unspoken play,
to climb the summits unattainable spoils,
those salad days inspired by trackless spheres aloft,
passion filled, like as when, both lover and artist toils,
flew on wings when life was green and soft,
despite the woes and destiny our constant foe,
we've sallied forth to Autumn's coloured glow.

About this poem:
A rearward glance to the green fields of youth and the joy of these latter days of colour;Eyes Like a Flower
Deeply your eyes color gives them a glow
Spreading such delicate bloom to the world
Shining so bright since a long time ago
Rare blossoms bursting out of damp earth hurled
Behind a great smile we greet tenderly
Shimmer when in radiant sun its sheen
With a gaze from the sky into the sea
Mine deeply blue into less deeply green
We danced like lovers in a soft caress
When drawn together once were caught within
Love was a net stronger than will I guess
When your eyes like a flower made me grin
Great is reflection of love all around
Looking at the greatest jewel ever found
Spreading such delicate bloom to the world
Shining so bright since a long time ago
Rare blossoms bursting out of damp earth hurled
Behind a great smile we greet tenderly
Shimmer when in radiant sun its sheen
With a gaze from the sky into the sea
Mine deeply blue into less deeply green
We danced like lovers in a soft caress
When drawn together once were caught within
Love was a net stronger than will I guess
When your eyes like a flower made me grin
Great is reflection of love all around
Looking at the greatest jewel ever found

About this poem:
A little love love sonnet about a woman's eyes......Celestial Love in a Bottle (An Easter Poem)
Tell me how long my love be cast away
Drifting hopeless in a foresaken sea
Tossed one day into the windy sea spray
Could feel utter lonely to this degree
No tides rolling back to the shores of hope
Without a chart or stars to guide my night
No rudder or compass to help me cope
Wound like a message in a bottle tight
Only glass that surrounds my fragile heart
Protects secrets written inside of it
Will be perished and smashed on rocks apart
Or gently washed on sands my Holy writ
Love perhaps lost so long ago in time
Just waiting to be found on shores sublime
Drifting hopeless in a foresaken sea
Tossed one day into the windy sea spray
Could feel utter lonely to this degree
No tides rolling back to the shores of hope
Without a chart or stars to guide my night
No rudder or compass to help me cope
Wound like a message in a bottle tight
Only glass that surrounds my fragile heart
Protects secrets written inside of it
Will be perished and smashed on rocks apart
Or gently washed on sands my Holy writ
Love perhaps lost so long ago in time
Just waiting to be found on shores sublime

About this poem:
I'm just floating an idea of 'celestial love' based on a premise we have only one 'soul mate' for all eternity which makes finding them an even more daunting search. Happy Easter everybody!
I Have Met Love
I have a love, my heart so wishes that she knew
What ploys and desires can I invoke to win her hand?
She treads so lightly so as not to disturb the morning dew
And her delicate heart never leaves a mark upon the sand
Oh love of mine please look to where this soul is residing
At the edge of the entire world it sees only thine reflection
Can you not see that my adoration is forever abiding
I would sacrifice all for a moment of your divine affection
For willows cannot weep more than mine own eyes
Yet as the rivers flow and carry my dreams to thee
All I can see is your vision across all the clouded skies
And your look of devotion would forever encompass me
Love, Oh love do not smite me with a dismissing hand
For no greater passion can be found across this land
What ploys and desires can I invoke to win her hand?
She treads so lightly so as not to disturb the morning dew
And her delicate heart never leaves a mark upon the sand
Oh love of mine please look to where this soul is residing
At the edge of the entire world it sees only thine reflection
Can you not see that my adoration is forever abiding
I would sacrifice all for a moment of your divine affection
For willows cannot weep more than mine own eyes
Yet as the rivers flow and carry my dreams to thee
All I can see is your vision across all the clouded skies
And your look of devotion would forever encompass me
Love, Oh love do not smite me with a dismissing hand
For no greater passion can be found across this land

About this poem:
Sonnets are not really my bag, bit too disciplined for me, but I thought I would have a crack at one.First Signs of Spring
Those first days of spring with cheeks so ruddy
Wanting sun burns with desire winter clouds
Dares passage over meadows so muddy
Besides ice cold brook grows in misty shrouds
Sing us up vibrant song you redbreast bold
Revel a whole woods cry out Spring has Come
Wake the day alive and shake off the cold
We all know you won't let your love keep mum
Burst from the ground an iris or crocus
While we smile with our eager impatience
Who be first to show their hocus pocus
To study nature... is love not science
So precious a time rewinds like a clock
When the first signs of spring is all we talk
Wanting sun burns with desire winter clouds
Dares passage over meadows so muddy
Besides ice cold brook grows in misty shrouds
Sing us up vibrant song you redbreast bold
Revel a whole woods cry out Spring has Come
Wake the day alive and shake off the cold
We all know you won't let your love keep mum
Burst from the ground an iris or crocus
While we smile with our eager impatience
Who be first to show their hocus pocus
To study nature... is love not science
So precious a time rewinds like a clock
When the first signs of spring is all we talk
