Slowly she climbs aboard
through darkness of shadows cast
her noble steed awaits
anticipating the joy of being ridden
through valleys and mountains
full moons glaring upon howling wolves
through waterfalls of sensual pureness
one can hear the breath of hoofbeats
always she rides at night
afraid of false impurities
never understanding
she glows in the dark.......
when you love somebody, nothing should ever be hidden, especially that which
you give unto each other....Peace

spiritual,
Simply by allowing life to carry us,
essence of presence vibrates with love and light.
As ego recedes, fears no longer nonplus
and we’re drenched in bliss mists, by day and by night,
content in time stretched peace, aboard God’s love bus.
Heightened delight accompanied by clear sight,
ignites nodes within, that the false falls away,
whereupon we see soul’s light, as clear as day.

Those Who...
Those who are presaged to selflessly save innocent life
Are impervious against inequity and of inhumane strife
Those who endeavor unraveling the mysteries of space
Are tireless in pondering the genesis of the human race
Those who venerate indomitable spirit ascending above
Are ever reminded of the authenticity and virtue of love

love ewe and blue
aer rhyming words true
there is always inflection and poor attitude
limits of knowledge above snobbish refrains
trains run on time only in the movies
movies run on time only in a small town
there is very few movies shown on trains
blue can be an attitude blue can be a heart
love you can be used to start a heart apart from you
as you watch the blue southern train depart
from the blue stunted depot with the board walk floor
the little blue conductor yelling all aboard her
as the train takes the love and makes your attitude blue
soup mix tastes so wordy so blue so true and good
with a doubly heaping helping of a love ewe attitude

I have taken my final arrow,
My race has now been run
I’ll depart from here and go in peace
Into yonder setting sun
I will climb aboard the ship of death
And cross the chilling tide
I will go to yonder setting sun
As on this ship I will ride
I will not fear what lies ahead,
Or what I cannot tell
I’ll stand upon the bough and wave
To this life farewell
I will now close my eyes in death,
Weary from the race I’ve run
As upon the bough of death’s ship I will ride
To yonder setting sun

Women in my family
Who remember the morning Grandma passed
Recall a loving woman with no malice
Who left a void that would last and last
From the pogroms she fled as a girl of eight
Helping nurse sea-sick refugees aboard ship
Receiving such steadfast love became our fate
She gave strength when we were losing our grip
With Grandma around, arguments never turned to hate
Despair and angst were eased with her smile
She introduced common sense; our non-sense could wait
All about was her wisdom and guile
It is now sadly apparent how Grandma's role
Had once kept our family happy and whole

Cold Kiss And Silent Goodbye
Fall blindly in love and plunge deep into a firestorm of intricately weaved
pattern of uncertainty
Mask feelings with transgressions and feel the weight of trust shatter the
matrimony of spiritual unity
Fail every obligation with deceptions and morph as the destroyer of each
dream blinding an optimistic eye
Assume possession of the healing light and see frigid lips caress a selfish
heart with cold kiss and silent goodbye

Joy In Rediscovering Love
In solitude the mind constantly wander beyond the periphery of infinity
Thirsting for purification discarding every ounce of doubt and ambiguity
In limbo love exposes renewed passion liberating darkness caged inside
Finding tenderness again for a wounded heart to mend from the outside

Keep climbing … Don't look down
Higher and higher … God's town
You're on the rise … ever-ascending
Surrounded by … angels never-ending
The air is light … cheerful and free
A feeling of elation … cushions your ride
You gaze all around you … a joy to behold
Faces of friends … renewed, no longer old
A rainbow of love … washes over your mind
Everyone here … is so incredibly kind
A voice rings out … a voice sweeter than wine
Welcome aboard, friend … aboard Eternity's airline

sad love, sea,
Brenda penned a story about Brennan the boatswain in Bermuda
Who had bought a Bavaria 43 barque for a sailing adventure.
The story began with the ballad of Brennan:
'Come sail with me, on see-saw sea
Becapped, bedecked, emblazoned blithely, a blast!
Your love becalmed in my arms embrace.
All aboard, all in, with my deck I beckon.'
As the rollicking tale unfolded,
Brenda fell brow over boots, besotted, in love with Brennan.
She found herself browsing more and more online
Searching for 'Bermuda', 'Brennan', 'Bavaria Barque',
Hoping to find a real Brennan on board, waiting becalmed, with arms beckoning
For her to embolden her text and join him.

Embracing This Reality
Within our conscious physical reality
exist true love and undeniable uncertainty
Live life as if you have gazed at and touched
the confounding edge of infinity
Since the search for the fountain
of perpetual existence
Is an unquenchable thirst in futility

lost love
My sailor boy, my sailor boy,
This lovely boy whom I adore,
His good ship brought him home from war.
I though he'd sail away no more.
Safe at last from the oceans storms,
My sailor boy, my sailor boy.
I welcomed him with open arms.
I wooed him with my girlish charms.
I wanted to keep him from the sea,
To keep him always near to me,
My sailor boy, my sailor boy.
So happy we were sure to be.
When that big ship left port one day,
He didn't heed my pleas to stay.
He climbed aboard and sailed away.
My sailor boy, my sailor boy.

For he is my true father... For

Allowance
That is the true crime to my mind
Allowing entrance of this Idea
An Idea so intoxicating
It Blinded Me
Clouded Judgement
Drove me through a Fog
That I should've never gone through
The Burning Light
It was the only appeal I could see through the Fog
The only thing that even enticed my interest
Was it Fantasy?
Most likely
Fantasy Enshrouded with Arrogance of my own Design
A Design So Flawed
So Young
It would have been the End of myself
Had I continued after it
Perhaps, allowing the boat to float on
Was the best I did for my well being
Staying Or Even Attempting to go Aboard
Would have proven Fatal
In possibly, the most dangerous of ways..

One cannot leave the books..
The precious books..
Not to be lost in the mists of magic
For, a book unopened...
Is a heart with no love
Castle Heartstones' library,
was taken aboard
Before Tapestry
Before Sword
Enchanted things happen,
in a Kings' Library
For, books are alive
A book will find you
The books travelled through corridors
For, books must find their way to you
From a Kings' Library,
to your heart
For, words have more than one meaning too
Books of the seasons
Such colour glowing,
amongst the pages
Queens' pride showing
Books of stars
and sunbright
Above all
The book of The Wise Ways
In a Kings' Library
for all to see

animal,
Horses are beautiful gentle creatures
The most gorgeous loving animal that exists
How far back does our friendship go
Back to ancient times as far as historic times
Fighting battles with loyal companions aboard
Amazing creatures with a deep connection
A similar connection are dogs and cats
But horses are much more sophisticated
Almost on a par with some humans (?)
This is to emphasize my love of horses
It is something that is really difficult to describe
“MAJESTIC” is pretty close

Everyday is a never ending cruise;
Adventure lurks as we land at each port
traveling the world with you beside me;
Honey, with you there I simply can’t lose,
perfect ship and luxurious resort;
Wearing a smile like lights on a marquee
beckoning me softly to come aboard;
Exploring with the gift of a passport
you turned my dreams into reality;
Tilted my face from the shadows toward
the sea.

Sitting in a never ending cycle of lust, followed by heartbreak
followed by lust, followed by jealous intentions
followed by love, followed by heartbreak
followed by lust, followed by freedom.
Repeat.
The cycle goes on, thinking about destiny, fates and the mystic, is a dangerous train to climb aboard.
I should be somewhere else, living in a world of wonder.
I wonder if I have been set-off course, inside I feel this to be true.
Another me is sailing down the path of hope.
I wish him well, I wish him to come back,
to rescue me.
I know he will think of me, he is me and is aware of destiny, fates and the mystic.
The cycle goes on and the train will return.

Me And My Bumble Bee
Rick &Justa
Whenever I get too blue I just
look to Justa and climb aboard
her and watch her wings sprout
and her motor chiming to time.
And away we go, me and
my Bumble Bee, Where we go no
one knows, but me and my Bee.
Oh my, we're heading straight
for the moon maybe I see you
soon.Whoops! Wrong turn, Now
I see the brightest star.
Is that where me and
my Bumble Bee should be?
Okay love we're on our way.
Oh my, I see you waving
in the distance, but hang on,
my bee has jut got a li'l motor.
And if she turns to fast she dumps
me off and has to come and fetch
her friend,but I'll be there in an instant.

love hurts,
It's so confusing that it makes
you cry
But you love him so much that
your willing to fight
It feels like heaven but at the
same time your yelling
Cause you can't figure out why
you love him that much
When a fight comes aboard
You loose all control
Then you catch yourself crying
and calling "Oh Lord!"
Thats how love is it throws
things at you
And you cant just say "no" or "i
don't want you"
