“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.

“The Last Night Star.”
By,
Michael P Clarke.
(Sonnet.)
We lie together under the willow
I hold you in my arms and i do see
The light of God’s own flickering sunlight
On the horizon is winking on we
And in the heart of love’s own fiery blaze
A single star in Heaven’s sky shines bright
My Love together let us make our wish
Before we see its last flicker of the light..
Cuddled up close we watch the star be gone
To its peaceful sleep as sun does arise
We know again our stars once more shall come
To take their peaceful place within night skies.
And in the sky we can see from afar
Our tiny twinkling friend the last night star.

Have you ever watched the last night star extinguish from the night sky holding close the one you love? A wonderful feeling. Let the love flow.

Together we walk by the babbling brook,
Slowly flow the waters upon their way.
So cool are the waters on which we look,
As along forest floor the brook does play.
You and i standing in each others arms,
As we watch the brook as it softly flows.
Sun glints on the water enhancing charms,
As sweet Love within our hearts it does grow.
We hear the soft voice of the babbling brook,
It whispers its cool words into our ears,
Upon the playful waters we do look.
Remembering all our most peaceful years.
Our Love shall ever be an open book,
As in Love we stand By The Babbling Brook.

Hands thrust in pockets you walk and mutter
Thoughts alleyways of unwanted clutter
Watches rather looking at the nutter
Squinting two wild cats across the gutter
For all wrongs in life become the weeper
Cry o’er some scraps boilin’ in a steeper
For not mercy of the market keeper
Safe from clutches of the dark grim reaper
Sadness that’s lost in the slums and ghettos
Inspired in such classical libretto
Pours out like the smoothest amaretto
Sung an opera of such fine falsetto
Homeless and wandering drifting afloat
In a turbulent sea so sails your boat

Trying to fathom the deepest sense of despair of those who have no place to call home.

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

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.

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

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??? :)

Watch and wait things will always get hotter
Sooner or later love will turn around
What grass really grows greener and wetter
Grass over the fence or all over town
What can be argued in and of itself
Stop, think about what you already know
To even change one thing about myself
Is when your love is only 'just for show'
Searching halfway across the universe
Hoping to find what was already found
How can anyone of us just converse
When speaking faster than the speed of sound
When all you can say is all you just heard
Better believe you are being absurd

Love just is.....it doesn't just pretend to be....

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

Run to my open arms, they'll gently squeeze,
And we will gaze into the rippling pond,
The fragrance of your rose is on the breeze,
Reflected in the pool, two hearts so fond.
This kiss we share today a precious thing,
The bows of our Love tree bend down with fruit,
Two lofty turtle doves are on the wing,
White knuckled hands conjoined without refute.
We wander o'er the bridge to leafy lane,
Our Love we did express in Nature's palm,
Deep feelings poured that we could not contain,
In mutual release we found our balm.
Sated now, we lie in joyous bliss,
While falling deeper still in Love's abyss.
