christian22 Poetry (95)

Run your fingers
through a rainbow
as beneath her arch
you stand

Walk beneath the
falling sunshine
though she is
so far away

Sit beside the
flowing river
filling you with
thoughts serene

Sleep under the
skies dark blanket
moonbeams touch
your sleepy head

All around
creation touches
silent as the
mists of time

Soon the blossoms will return
and lone rider will come home.
She is waiting in the cabin
for her man to ride in.

There the lone rider
sweeps over the plains,
six gun is holstered
left hand holds the reins.

Thinking of someone
across the divide;
a woman with blossoms
and young growing child.

Ride on lone rider
through dust storms and rain,
work is accomplished
you come home again.

One bullet is missing
all that was needed,
avenging his brother
shot down by that killer.

There in a gunfight
lone rider outdrew him,
there in a town
called medicine bend.

Clouds are blown by the wind unseen
Trees feel its caress of her leaves
Whistling through on a summer day
Creating a soft cool breeze

Watch her play on this earthly ball
As she covers the sea and land
Oceans deep feel her presence there
As she sweeps with a mighty hand

Blow big wind send the sailboat home
Fill the sails with breath from above
Though the wind can be often stormy
on a sea once still like a dove

Blow wind blow all around the world
Places I have never seen
As you pass over me I just wonder
Where in this world have you been

Whisper into my world
Tell me what you have seen
So I can fly on the eagle's wing
To places where you have been.

thanks rob, for viewing and the comment..

Words unspoken
kept inside us
so afraid
to venture out

Such words
carry feelings,
such words
portray the heart

Words in boxes
unpacked
to light of day
fading away

Such words
would address love
tell someone
your feelings

Slowly open up
your heart boxes,
let the sun
shine on your thoughts

On the big day
you got the courage
to ask her
for a date

Words tripped
like left feet
timing was
not the best

No, thank you
met the question
other feelings
rushed to aid.

Tender heart
felt the impact,
crushing words
so new to me

So was that
early trial
of me asking
with jangling nerves

Thankfully
that day has passed
words and boxes
open at last.

Some thing we remember so clearly serpico 12, and can recall the pain or happiness of that moment years later can also cause stress.
A doctor told me recently that if we stopped beating ourselves up so much regarding occurances that happened, whether sad or happy moments, just excepted them as....life experiences... we'd be doing ourselves a service.
I hope your life experience give you more pleasure than pain...Niah9

Nice write Serpico. I can relate. I used to be quite shy as a youth and teenager. Small things now seemed like the world then...kinda sweet and tender though.

serpico12 Sun Feb 13, 2011 11:18 PM WET
hi boyscharm thanks..yes you are so right, if we had of our older wisdom for back then could have been a lot easier...thanks again

Love is the hand of a stranger
a friend who may well become more
and we find such one anywhere now
in a party or on a dance floor

Love is the key to all things sister
without true love it will die
so please be sure the one you meet
is honest and will not lie

For there is beauty unrivalled
in the form of someone like this
truth is such an essential
we all need someone like this

Then look for kindness inside them
its a bounty so rich and good
don't go by looks on its on girl
for woodworm inhabits the wood

Love kindness and tenderness
truth in its beauty to shine
in a world like this be sure to find
someone who really is fine

Don't go by outward appearance
not everything's as it seems
but just take your time
pursue your dreams

And hopefully one day you will see
that there is someone
who is all the above
sincere but with fun.

thanks pilgrim..i hope my friend this will happen for you too..

One step
one word
one thought
through time

One step as you dance
one word as you look
one thought to express

Through the mists of years
where steps, words, thoughts
excel, into deeper depths:

Abounding in love
Breathing out sweet refrain
Caressing the vapour she is
Destiny watches over both
Everlasting vows await
Faith in each other
Grace to him
Honour to her
Inner happiness
Joy resounding
Kisses like morning dew
Love which grows and grows
Marriage that binds
Never ever to part
Open to each other
Pleasing each other
Queen you have made her
Rich in her company
Strength out of adversity
Touching the tenderness
Undying love and affection
Virtuous were they
Wanting each other
X- means love in mail
Yearning to kiss
Zealous the feelings

Hear the restful song of silence
her sultry sounding voice
is still.

She never utters a word
still as the mountain high
tranquil.

From the hilltop you can look
on the valley green below
peaceful.

To the mountains that surround
a blue and still languid lake
hushed.

She will not share her company
where loudness and conversations
are found.

But she steals to realms of nature
as if to ponder deep languages
unheard.

She is a rest and a retreat for souls
who long for inner peace and still
welcome.

But short is always the travelers stay
to be refreshed by streams and drink
succor.

That having rested in her company a while
we then move on back to peopled land
again.

Many a day I've spent under her shade...a refreshing poem...thank you deeply!

Lord of the morning
lord of each day
we come to you
truth and the way.

Lead us and guide us
be with us each day
lord of the morning
to you we can pray.

Lord of all hopefulness
meet our despair,
as those before us voiced
in song and in prayer.

More than a woman
with virtues and spices
wings of the morning
in a valley so green

Dreamers look for
wishing and hoping
lovers forgotten
hold on to the dawn

Walking in fields of
bluebells, daisies
daffodils, too
as yellow as sun

Dew on the field
nature is blooming
tender the woman
soft as the raindrop

Blackberry eyes
looking at you
dancing along
happy and smiling

Love in her heart
open and free
soft golden hair
born in the sunshine

Innocent woman
from innocent girl
she passes by
restless and lonely

Looking for love
in a soft, playful way
sensitive love

Visit a dreamer
who counts the clouds
way up in the sky

thanks ginger, carol and freeatlast..do value your comments..always appreciated.

When the wind of rejection
blows across your face
and the wind comes anytime
as you launch into life
with your fragile soul
rejection does it best
to make you feel less whole

be it looks
be it appearence
be it education
or a neighbourhood
whatever the source
that brings this pain

You were born to be
accepted
you were born to be
of value
and rejection
and all that it brings
one day may it
fall away from you
when value and beauty
and worth
are seen by you.

thanks dear scatlyn, my you certainly enrich the poem with your warm thoughts..thanks very much my friend..

thanks ladybee...appreciate that

hi rob thanks a lot for the comment

hi cafetwo..hi and thanks a lot for that posted comment.

SOMETIMES SAD SONGS
JUST FILL THE AIR
AND WE KIND OF GET
SOME COMFORT
WHENEVER WE ARE THERE

BUT LET'S NOT
STAY THERE TOO LONG
THERE ARE MORE FISH
IN THE SEA

IF WE WILL JUST KEEP ON
PAST THE RAINBOW
ON TOWARD THE POT OF GOLD
THERE IS LOVE I AM SURE
AND MORE THAN CAN BE TOLD

SO SAY GOODBYE TO SAD SONGS
AND FACE THE WORLD AGAIN
I AM ALWAYS GLAD TO SEE
THE SUNSHINE MORE THAN RAIN

HERE'S TO ALL
WHO FEEL THE SAD TODAY
HERE'S A WISH
YOU FIND BETTER DAYS.

Very thoughtful...

hi scatlyn, thats very nice to say, you read my poems so well...thanks again.

Love is kind
and looks for patience
love cannot exist
unless she expresses
respect is high with her
honor and right too

She will not embarrass
nor like it when you fail
nor compromise you
co-erce you into actions
your conscience
will not go

Place value on you
stays faithful
gentle and abiding
strong when has to be
looks for your interest
cheers when you win

Feels what you feel
in your corner
she will be
come hail snow or rain
still always your friend

So love live in us
with all that you are
where fruit on the tree
is so welcome to see

How true serpico~
to know of love, to see love, to understand its nature is one thing, but to live love, another...
to be love's very essence.. divine!
