longing,
he looks at her eyes
butterflies surf dreams within
strolling twilight beach
shooting stars make wish
Prince wakes up serene Snow White
something melts the night
stream of passion flows
non stop chimes of Cupid choir
crystallizing breath
backdrop of embrace
pearl in heart of oyster blooms
covenant of love

dream, love, sweet,
Enticing sweet dreams you tiptoe
Charming passions memories spun
From days of our youth long ago
When quest of love had just begun
When in your heart I'm all alone
Enticing sweet dreams you tiptoe
Blazing desires we've felt and known
Kindled embers of romance glow
Musings endearing you well know
When our engaging souls impart
Enticing sweet dreams you tiptoe
Holding me captive of your heart
Oh! how our indulgent hearts woo
Flame of ardent past still aglow
Courting love beholden and true
Enticing sweet dreams you tiptoe

Theme: Sweet
by Joseph May |
Categories:
heartbreak,
A love affair with secrets to keep
Broken vows and rendezvous
Pillow talk and in too steep
Love triangles, a dangerous brew
Chasing passion in secret places
With deep desires and embraces
Love has many turns and twists
Hearts astray entwined in trysts
But love is never guaranteed
Entanglements and lusty needs
Someone's love can be hard to measure
But fickle hearts can steal love's treasure

beach, ocean,
I love to walk barefoot
along the shore
the imprint of my footprints
follows me like a shadow
I know they’ll vanish
as each wave breaks
rushing over the shingle
tickling my toes
I stop
and turn to face the sea
hoping to espy a seal
suddenly a little wave appears
and a black head pops up
bobbing up and down
in the ocean
Alas,
this magical moment
is marred
by squawking seagulls
circling overhead
as they follow a trawler
heading home
with catch of the day
I wave to the fishermen
and continue on my walk

The New Year has now started and we belong to new and exciting events.
I love, I laugh, I smile, and I cry with happiness for all the new talents.
The New Year is all we need to have a new start fresh with ideas to share.
And I hope for the better we enjoy the new poems and show everyone we care.
The New Year is a way to be wishy, washy, and to show we are human with feelings.
With that in mind we are ready to open the doors to the world that we believe in.

dark, love,
Endeavored romance, bolstered and cried
Then came the night, my music died
One last attempt, a foiled finished taste
A devoted passion, soon laid to waste
Recovered contentment, felled for the count
Heartache and pain, a stable failed surmount
End of life with its completion of care
A quickened loss for incessant despair
The dark night recalled; cessation dispense
Atonement is sought, assume recompense
My last night on Earth, withdrawn in vain
My death for your love, this life for your pain

Vibrant bliss in fullness

Burnt in funeral pyre

Clear truth bespoken

desire, love,
She did not yield to his advances
Playing hard to get, taking chances
He sent her a bouquet of red roses
As his quest for love he poses
Love becomes a game of pursuit
In an attempt to capture her heart
Like a tango in steps so cute
As she dances to the beat he imparts
Soon he will close in on his desire
She's the lovely flower in the field
Then they will spark love's fire
And to love's pursuit she will yield

Raked leaves of the past

Dusk is asking, "please sun move on",
please sun, move sun, move sun, move on!
The stars saying, "Time you were gone",
the stars, and moon await.
The stars sparkle, moon shines bright, great,
moon shines bright, shines bright, shines bright, great!
Lovers paradise, true loves fate.
Lovers finding passion.
Truly engrossed in loves fashion,
in loves, in loves, in loves fashion.
For each full of wonder, passion.
Each dusk, a new love, sworn.
Dusk is asking, "please sun move on".
For each dusk, new love sworn!

love,
In our last rendezvous
We sat in a precarious way
On the ledge.
But our ecstasy was unique
Collected, composed, nonchalant;
A perfect blend of finesse
In our mutual heart,
Both acquiesce to the objective,
a promise for both,
Wherever we are
Whatever we are
Whenever we are
Unqualified, unconditional
And not to play around
Gallivanting.

"Lost in a dream with idyllic abstract musing." Quote _by Poet
Absorbing a double scoop of azure,
Bottom of the golden-brown waffle
Cone, green, yellow, orange, red,
Dripping down melting, into the horizon.
Evening's laughter shatters the azure sky;
Frowning disapproval, the sun
Gently wipes away it's tears for
Harmonious promise of future
Idyllic, enormity, day of earth.
Jabbering shadow falling across
Knobby, frayed, wings and contagious
Love: power to renew universe heart.

Formless and strange
what is this concept
this thing we call time
why do we change
this girl once knew sorrow
her paper and a pen
now she has grown
knows love and joy
but she's lost the words
no longer writes her thoughts
how did this happen
did joy steal those thoughts
no new poems does she give life
time has gone on
her mind too has changed

Old Poems
The old poems; I once wrote, I tried to keep them safe.
I wrote of things, that I had lived and I wrote of things
that I had done. I also wrote of things from life. Old poems
bring us memories. Old poems bring us tears, other times
they bring us joy.
Old poems - came from the heart, to express love, grief
or hurt. Old poems, I like to read. They touch my heart "oh "
so deep. I can picture what someone wrote a very, very
long time ago.
Today I will write some new poems, but they will be old
tomorrow. To you reader I want to say - thank you for
reading my old poems today...

depression, feelings, heartbroken, hope, how i feel, loneliness, lost love,
The house is quiet now,
and I am all alone. Tired.
the dead are buried in their tombs of slumber
six feet under.
the babies are born into crowded hospital rooms,
with smiling faces all around dressed all in white.
the new bottle of wine is opened,
the new cigarette lit with a new match.
the house is cleaned,
and she is with a new man
not remembering who made her smile last.
All though it is a new day for me,
I still think of old memories
that make me sigh,
and make me cry,
and laugh
and smile only for a moment
then the moment is gone;
And I sit all day
writing new poems
for all of you to enjoy and look at yourself
in a brand new way.

life, memory,
Lovers drift away with my yesterday
Yet, leave their shadows behind to remind
In the midst of my mind's eye, they will stay
To drift back again, when I rest to find
They share a memory's time which lingers
And a faded face of silent sadness
A wish that had fallen through my fingers
Those days of love's emotional madness
When each day and night was meant for lovers
Who sought paradise where the world belies
When kisses begot love one discovers
And soft warm tongues exchanged mints between sighs
The timelessness of days forever gone
Are only memories to look upon

moon, sky, stars,
Obsession in the sky above, such infinite beauty I truly love
Beyond the earth I see Mother Moon and stars and planets too
Saturn and Jupiter through my scope sends shivers to my spine
Even Saturn’s rings I see clearly and Jupiter’s many moons
Shiniest planet, favourite by far, is sparkling, glistening Venus
She really is the jewel in the crown, this diamond way up high
ISS is another treat and I always wave as she passes me by
Oh lucky me having balconies high, so much closer to the sky
Now seeing an exquisite sunset, brings tears of joy into my eyes

Is something she ain’t
Loves spur of the moment
Goes where her heart takes
Is whimsically charming
With a smile so disarming

Such a joy to be with
Spontaneously fanciful
To know her is magical
She brightens my life
I love her so much

Some secrets spin a veil of lies,
creating a web of deceit.
And yet, some secrets survive to
guard the essence of who you are.
Though stored behind a shield of trust,
some secrets spin a veil of lies.
But, tucked in between hope and love,
no trespassing signs get posted.
If you do not share everything,
you are only being human.
Some secrets spin a veil of lies,
and some weave privacy curtains.
There are thoughts you alone should know,
private things not meant to be shared.
And though some secrets are innate,
some secrets spin a veil of lies.
