THE TRUTH, THE PLAIN TRUTH.
There's doubtless beauty in plain truth,
gold spun above the stars own roof,
serving thus, make false words uncouth
embroiders a web of conceit by guile aloof;
Truth bows not down to manipulated lies,
't'is but pen scribed by timeless poetic laws,
the stoic heart, straight of limb applies,
antique written, unblemished, without flaws,
yet by pomposity, oft called naive simplicity,
truth, dignifies love for man's common good,
nurturing, fond realms of true brotherhood,
illustrates well, virtues jewel woven integrity,
Truth's own truth, sacred, undeniable,
free life's shackles by love unimpeachable.

About this poem:
In a world of untruths, a sonnet bestowing truth's virtue
Sweet Lady of the Lakes and Fells
Dear muse, I penned this verse with feather quill,
To gently praise your beauty of renown,
My words to float aloft your gaze until,
They softly kiss your eyes like thistledown.
One single thought of you is all I need,
Pure beams of gold to light my dulling day,
A gorgeous wildflower peers from tangled weed,
And paints a splash of colour to my grey.
My lonely shadow drapes this em'rald shore,
With somber heart I yearn your close embrace,
Between us how wild stormy waters roar,
Such tempest I would brave to touch your face.
Fond kisses blown on gentle winds your way,
Warm breezes seek wherein the fells you stray.
To gently praise your beauty of renown,
My words to float aloft your gaze until,
They softly kiss your eyes like thistledown.
One single thought of you is all I need,
Pure beams of gold to light my dulling day,
A gorgeous wildflower peers from tangled weed,
And paints a splash of colour to my grey.
My lonely shadow drapes this em'rald shore,
With somber heart I yearn your close embrace,
Between us how wild stormy waters roar,
Such tempest I would brave to touch your face.
Fond kisses blown on gentle winds your way,
Warm breezes seek wherein the fells you stray.

About this poem:
A Sonnet to my poetess buddy & muse.
Closed
Tiny hands that cling to coins with such hope
To reach out and find the machine is broke
Holding back the tears and trying to cope
No signs no warnings of closed for repairs
In a hurry not paying attention
Grasped the frying pan handle, to feel burn
Ignoring the feeling, apprehension
The hopes of what was to be slowly fades
Donning a coat to keep the cold away
Wrapped so tight you cannot feel the heart beat
Outer shell still looks good, inner frayed
No signs no warnings of closed for repairs
Tucked safely in bed alone in the night
Maybe lost the battle but not the fight

Post CommentHome Sweet House?
As darkness unfolded the old home sighed
Once more another day has come and gone
In the bright light of the sun the eaves lied
But once more the house stood empty alone
No one seemed to notice that no one cared
In the daylight the fresh coat of paint shined
In the dark the rooms laid empty and bare
A home without life how cruel and unkind
The deception of two made into one
Leaving neither completely as a whole
No one lost and no one has really won
A diamond is just an old chunk of coal
Daylight has been summoned a house no more
From blind eyes it is a home as before
Once more another day has come and gone
In the bright light of the sun the eaves lied
But once more the house stood empty alone
No one seemed to notice that no one cared
In the daylight the fresh coat of paint shined
In the dark the rooms laid empty and bare
A home without life how cruel and unkind
The deception of two made into one
Leaving neither completely as a whole
No one lost and no one has really won
A diamond is just an old chunk of coal
Daylight has been summoned a house no more
From blind eyes it is a home as before

Post CommentA SONNET TO LOVE
How our love lit hours must be
thread woven by fond Alchemy,
smiling thru' each saffron dawn,
and wan skies, cold sullen forlorn,
yet love beats it's fragrant way
along the passage of days sway,
sailing sweet, ne'er looks back,
unknown to night's darkness black,
where thundrous clouds hang heavily,
o'er the sunless and sombre sky,
love's true heart e'er shall beat,
as twin worlds joyfully meet,
thus musical lyrics floating sail
o'er the ether and flowered bough.

About this poem:
In a world full of harsh realities we need to praise loveA Sonnet from Love lost days
Indeed soft thoughts I've laboured long,
sung sweeter far than the Poet's song,
fully fills the glass where hope belongs,
relieving woes and its attendant wrongs,
as once sombre sullen enduring throng,
served life's integrity, harsh and wrong,
unknown to Nightingale's love lyrics long,
drowned in murky waters, stagnant strong,
thus slain the darkness that surrounded me,
banishing all which past I could not see,
now swift flown, solitudes lifeless spree
to colour paint, a bright new world for we,
How now, a kaleidoscope to us appear,
an emotional tapestry, coloured woven dear.

About this poem:
written on reflection of some one who had been in love's wilderness for many years and now emerging into love's light yet once againThe Revival (Part 6)
I have never forgotten my reason
I have grown strong with each breath I've taken
Waiting anticipating my season
Victory is mine no matter what's to be
The children are gathering together
My heart pounds waiting release from the cage
Soon it will be free no longer tethered
To rest upon the destiny of birth
I see clearly the time is upon me
The preparation has been set in place
As was written the time has come to be
And soon the past will meet with the present
They gathered to have a ball like the old
Forgetting the stories once they were told

Post CommentA Sonnet to the breath of Spring
Thy whispering breath breathes o'er the mountain's swell,
and caressing sweep along the green lush lowland's fell,
in full flush of day or in night's dark solitude,
oft with Warnerian power, or with Chopin's quiet étude,
wandering weave its hazy way, a dancing dream
kissing touch the rippling hillocks new sprung stream,
thus cavorts in gaiety the Zephyr's lyrical breeze,
gathers up the fragrant air, each evocative whisper tease
like as a violin that purls with quiet airs played fine
cosset the atmosphere like as embracing arms entwine
breathless travel, on Angelic soft spread silken wing,
bequeath forever, the perfumes of each scented Spring,
Thus in sightless guile weaves a wondrous spell,
Whence no poetic lines can scribe it's hues to tell.

About this poem:
Each Spring we're intoxicated with the new breath of life in its sightless wonder, regardless what part of the Planet we live in, fills us with the joy of life.
The Soft Beauty Of Love
In the night’s velvet touch i feel your Love,
in the midst of my pain your sweet caress,
touch my heart and you lift me high above,
You touch my heart with your sweet tenderness.
In the sweet joy of your Love i behold,
the peace of heaven now within your soul,
i shall now sip from your heart’s cup of gold,
and whisper to you of love i have stole.
Come to me and share a Love so divine,
lie with me in our sweet supplication,
and our love-light it shall then brightly shine,
as our heart’s sing in anticipation.
In our dream we are in heaven above,
as we lie in the soft beauty of love.
in the midst of my pain your sweet caress,
touch my heart and you lift me high above,
You touch my heart with your sweet tenderness.
In the sweet joy of your Love i behold,
the peace of heaven now within your soul,
i shall now sip from your heart’s cup of gold,
and whisper to you of love i have stole.
Come to me and share a Love so divine,
lie with me in our sweet supplication,
and our love-light it shall then brightly shine,
as our heart’s sing in anticipation.
In our dream we are in heaven above,
as we lie in the soft beauty of love.

About this poem:
Love can be such a gentle beauty.Love's Bright Sunset
(Sonnet.)
.
I wait for you within Love’s bright sunset,
within your eyes i am lost in Love’s dream,
now we do wait for the coming starlight
travelling to heaven on a moonbeam,
Smile when you see me in Love’s bright sunset,
run into my arms i do feel your grace,
this is the moment love stirs within me,
the moment i see your beautiful face.
I drown in the eyes of Aphrodite,
together we swim within your bright soul,
gently together on love’s horizon,
we walk in sunset towards our Love’s goal.
Come let us join, let us never forget,
the moment divine, by love’s bright sunset.
