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

About this poem:
I never thought about boiling it down like this before...but here it is....hahaWarlike Menace
If by chance be that creature of the wood
Searching for prey by the light of the moon
Creature of the sea be misunderstood
Traps silvery schools in shallow lagoon
Creature of the city who stalks by night
Black hoody shadows red eyes are ablaze
Indifferent to cries of fear and fright
Tears drip with blood soak darkenned alleyways
Predation's eyes watches with deep peril
Boldness striking like the fangs of vipers
Coldness gazing down scope of a barrel
Steady squeezes the trigger of snipers
What about nature do we learn is evil
Schooled in survival since times primeval
Searching for prey by the light of the moon
Creature of the sea be misunderstood
Traps silvery schools in shallow lagoon
Creature of the city who stalks by night
Black hoody shadows red eyes are ablaze
Indifferent to cries of fear and fright
Tears drip with blood soak darkenned alleyways
Predation's eyes watches with deep peril
Boldness striking like the fangs of vipers
Coldness gazing down scope of a barrel
Steady squeezes the trigger of snipers
What about nature do we learn is evil
Schooled in survival since times primeval

About this poem:
Contrasting the predatory nature of mankind with survival.Indecision
Been thinking about us a lot lately
And it's making me feel kind of a wreck
Not sure to know how to feel exactly
Just wondering how long we're going to trek
Liking each other a lot that's for sure
Can be the same as only be a friend
Who is sure things will change in the future
When we can't predict what's around the bend
Can you imagine you want more than that
Can't just not think because we think too much
Now so very torn 'cause we've arrived at
This point to make a decision as such
Love too fleeting to capture in a net
Up until the day that you and I met
And it's making me feel kind of a wreck
Not sure to know how to feel exactly
Just wondering how long we're going to trek
Liking each other a lot that's for sure
Can be the same as only be a friend
Who is sure things will change in the future
When we can't predict what's around the bend
Can you imagine you want more than that
Can't just not think because we think too much
Now so very torn 'cause we've arrived at
This point to make a decision as such
Love too fleeting to capture in a net
Up until the day that you and I met

About this poem:
The complex human nature we call love.Beckoning Your Grace
Sunrise spilling light o'er a frozen lake
Still casting in deep shades of icy blue
Color back to a colder darkness make
Transparent crystals shining light its hue
For we the weary travellers of time
Casting out upon our journey will take
In the moment day beckons the sublime
A shining significance each snow flake
For only in your light does darkness shrink
Those colorless memories the night voids
Looking out from eyes of a desert sphinx
Over a sleeping world that life devoids
Shining bright every day from deep space
Giving us life by beckoning your grace
Still casting in deep shades of icy blue
Color back to a colder darkness make
Transparent crystals shining light its hue
For we the weary travellers of time
Casting out upon our journey will take
In the moment day beckons the sublime
A shining significance each snow flake
For only in your light does darkness shrink
Those colorless memories the night voids
Looking out from eyes of a desert sphinx
Over a sleeping world that life devoids
Shining bright every day from deep space
Giving us life by beckoning your grace

About this poem:
A mostly spiritual sonnet contrasting life and nature and immortality to the proximity of sunlight.Spring Meadows
At last the winters' cold spell be broken
Lest soften the foggy freeze in your grip
Givin' rise to springs and streams awoken
Castin' loose ice clingin' on rocks to slip
Return the smells of sweet earth when anew
Once molded decayed old leaves start rottin'
Burstin' fresh in new greens and shining dew
Boney limbs a forest nigh forgotten
For pure is the spring as the newborn lambs
Stand on spindly legs that freshen life brings
Melt back down riverbanks flooded ice jams
Gurgles currents fast around its bend sings
So softly now is the grass turnin' green
Wave fresh across the sunlit meadows clean
Lest soften the foggy freeze in your grip
Givin' rise to springs and streams awoken
Castin' loose ice clingin' on rocks to slip
Return the smells of sweet earth when anew
Once molded decayed old leaves start rottin'
Burstin' fresh in new greens and shining dew
Boney limbs a forest nigh forgotten
For pure is the spring as the newborn lambs
Stand on spindly legs that freshen life brings
Melt back down riverbanks flooded ice jams
Gurgles currents fast around its bend sings
So softly now is the grass turnin' green
Wave fresh across the sunlit meadows clean
