A Sonnet to friendship.
Friendship shall halt the power of time,
like boyhood days that seem not to fade
amidst those long lost spheres sublime,
when, to unforgiving time we joyous played,
rare such virtue true, slumbering sweet
with thoughts more rich than gold,
its voice unknown to thunders roll, entreat
the heart that ne'er grows old,
united, bonds mutual strength, thus found
a hallowed ground, much blessed, heroic deep,
harvest sweet unspoken words profound,
where love's silent voice its honest tokens keep,
friendship gilds the value of each weary day,
annulling, all life's stormy paths away.

About this poem:
To have a true Lady friend, is often subjected to ill founded thoughts, thus this sonnet is written to such a special Lady, the passage of years have not tainted one iota of the close bond we share.
Moonlight Rendezvous. (A Sonnet).
Amid intoxicating green, our Love bestow,
I plucked for her a bunch of forest flowers,
A lovestruck arrow strayed from Cupid's bow,
And pierced a tearful cloud to April showers.
We trod the rugged path towards the steeple,
Together dancing wildly in the rain,
Flirting unaware of passing people,
To please our yearning we could not abstain.
Her female curves my wanting eyes impress,
She moved with poise and grace of noble swan,
To blushing moon removed her silken dress,
Our pleading Siamese limbs conjoined as one.
'Til the moon with bloodshot eye expelled a yawn,
Retiring then bowed curtsy to the dawn.

About this poem:
For someone special !A LOVE SONNET
Roses are flowering her in Brittany,
like as a Nun's God given care,
cloistered robed in unsung divinity,
flourish in its soft fragrant air,
far from Winter's deep untrodden snow,
in unearthly ways weaves her spell,
loves quietude, like bounteous rivers flow
revive the spirit more than words can tell,
thus with thee here and with my heart,
the Rose's perfume shall around us play,
intoxicate the hours of our hand held day,
where silence sweet, soft thoughts impart,
Embrace with me this earthly care,
words but vain where love is rare.

About this poem:
The roses have just started to bloom here in my lovely garden, they are the harbinger of love, how better to extol them, than a sonnet.
Love’s Many Faces
Our love has endured its share of sorrows,
the foolish mistakes...the ache of regret.
We aimed our dreams toward each bright tomorrow,
vowing forever, to never forget.
With each anguished tear we have shed for love,
we have grown and changed in such diverse ways.
Time doles truths we have long been afraid of,
while love succumbs to the old, worn cliches.
The years have well proved what we always knew;
I live in your heart, as you live in mine.
Wherever you go, whatever you do,
this love will not fade with the trials of time.
The past will not steal our dreams as before...
We forgive, we let go...we love all the more!
the foolish mistakes...the ache of regret.
We aimed our dreams toward each bright tomorrow,
vowing forever, to never forget.
With each anguished tear we have shed for love,
we have grown and changed in such diverse ways.
Time doles truths we have long been afraid of,
while love succumbs to the old, worn cliches.
The years have well proved what we always knew;
I live in your heart, as you live in mine.
Wherever you go, whatever you do,
this love will not fade with the trials of time.
The past will not steal our dreams as before...
We forgive, we let go...we love all the more!

About this poem:
This was one of my first attempts at writing a sonnet back on the mid 90's.
Enough(a sonnet)
I may not ever be, all you desire,
I may not give you all you'll ever need,
I have not as yet worn the knights attire,
Am I then somehow less than once perceived?
So you play role of damsel in distress,
and I play him that seemeth not to care,
but with one look, one kiss, one soft caress,
remove the ill from mind and tension spare.
I am the thing you crave despite charade,
I speak a language makes your body weak,
your wish is my command I will obey,
'til valleys peak as we lay under sheets.
I am what you need no less, just enough,
'til you reach highest crest and whisper love.

About this poem:
I am not the knight in shining armour you dream of but I give you what you need!I'm Aways Here Dear ! ( For Christina )
Should life e'er cause you stumble to a fall,
and you lie broken, tearful on the clay,
I then would pause my days to aid your call,
No lady owns my love, but you this day.
I'd gladly piece together one by one,
The shattered segments of your crystal heart,
Embrace you in my arms 'till hurt is gone,
Fond dreams of you, now tearing me apart.
Rise my beauteous princess, take my hand,
And you will feel my love is strong and true,
Important that you know and understand,
The heart within this chest, thumps but for you.
Should e'er you dab a teardrop o'er the miles,
I pray this ardent verse restores your smiles.

Darkened
---- IMAGE REMOVED because photobucket.com no longer allows embedded images ----
Toys scattered over the play ground, lost
Taunts cries lingering as if in a stance
All gone, but one left with darkened feelings
Holding onto life's gift of second chance
Searching deeply for strength to continue
Gathering power to hold close to thee
No need for mirrors every step engraved
No one knows me better than I know me
Releasing visions of what I would like
Freeing destiny to be as it should
Paining myself by allowing it so
Letting go of what one knows is not good
Torn but still completely whole my soul bare
Some weights in life one must carry not share
Toys scattered over the play ground, lost
Taunts cries lingering as if in a stance
All gone, but one left with darkened feelings
Holding onto life's gift of second chance
Searching deeply for strength to continue
Gathering power to hold close to thee
No need for mirrors every step engraved
No one knows me better than I know me
Releasing visions of what I would like
Freeing destiny to be as it should
Paining myself by allowing it so
Letting go of what one knows is not good
Torn but still completely whole my soul bare
Some weights in life one must carry not share

About this poem:
Just how I am feeling here of latlyA Wedding Day, Sonnet.
Love's destiny, thus two rough diamonds drawn
in the opening hours of loves exclusive dawn,
whence from the infertile mundane shore,
love polished bright its glistening facet store,
highlighted vowed love, to be friendship personified,
where each and every caressing detail amplified,
like as, the touch of hands e'er so importantly,
as the sweet and secret realms of intimacy,
though clouded skies there well may be,
when sombre portends challenge loves philosophy,
would'st pleasure scupper sacred vows integrity,
remember, ever burning bright is loves illuminosity,
Thus, the simplicity, that love and marriage
is a special journey, in life's upholstered carriage.

About this poem:
Having of recent times been asked to make a five tier wedding cake, I accompanied it with this Sonnet.Just One Slowburn Kiss.
Wandering lost, devoid love's fragrant scent,
My need for you so bad, you'd ne'er believe,
Cruel East wind bites my skin, without relent,
Dreams of you bring warmth, my pain relieve.
Nought I wouldn't give to hold you close,
And share with you this feeling bursting through,
To celebrate life's gems, I love the most,
Abundant Nature's flowers & birds.....and you !
The lyrics of my song deliberately plain,
Played from raw heart strings, no fancy script,
I prayed love soon to sate our yearning twain,
This heart for you, so 'oft a beat has skipped.
One slowburn kiss ! My eyes in yours to stray,
To trade my soul, such price I'd gladly pay !
My need for you so bad, you'd ne'er believe,
Cruel East wind bites my skin, without relent,
Dreams of you bring warmth, my pain relieve.
Nought I wouldn't give to hold you close,
And share with you this feeling bursting through,
To celebrate life's gems, I love the most,
Abundant Nature's flowers & birds.....and you !
The lyrics of my song deliberately plain,
Played from raw heart strings, no fancy script,
I prayed love soon to sate our yearning twain,
This heart for you, so 'oft a beat has skipped.
One slowburn kiss ! My eyes in yours to stray,
To trade my soul, such price I'd gladly pay !

About this poem:
I'm just old fashionedwhen it comes to kissing !
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
