life,
Pale cobalt blue 'pon horizon
Lavender just above
Fog coats the creek and pine forest
Sunrises slowly, love
The roosters sing their warm greetings
Crickets chirp a morn's song
Mourning Doves coo occasionally
"Peace gives life~~ life prolongs"
As the red fireball sun rises
Casting red tinged cobalt
'Pon horizon's morn's whispy clouds
The Dove coos don't halt
There can be peace on this good earth
If love rules in each heart
Let love guide and depart never
As the gold sun paints art
Finis'

SUDDENLY LOST
Sunset serenades
disperse thoughts are her refrains
smiling yet she tears.
The autumn wind greets,
cool breeze brushed her pallor cheeks,
her head in the clouds.
Rumbles crash silence,
denial rush to her lips,
ghost eyes snap and slit.
The strawberry lies
made her wait for sunrises,
truth kissed bittersweet.
Innocence murdered
by colorful, luring masks,
times were trashed, wasted.

Dear Lord I want to thank you for the sun
Without it the world would not have begun
For we need the sun in order to survive
Without it planet earth would not be alive
I like the sun for the beauty it brings
It grows our food, trees, among other things
It gives us warmth, sunrises, sunsets and joy
Brings endless happiness to each girl and boy
The sun reminds me of you lord, for you are the light
Giving hope to us all, every day and every night
The brightness of each brand new day reminds me of your love
Smiling down on each one of us from heaven up above

good morning, inspirational, sunshine,
I watch the rising sun's
radiant, rosy touch,
change dawn's pale gray cheeks
to a spreading pinkish blush.
And as silver golden ribbons
unfurl in the air,
that's Heaven adding adornments
to dawn's glowing hair.

Author's Note. If you, too, are inspired by sunrises
and sunsets, I'd love to read your descriptions.
Please post them here.

~Weaving Dreams~
( Free Verse)
Mind have countless dreams illusions
Flowing bubbles glowing in mid-air
Radiant sunrises sunsets pretty pictures
Sometimes growing burning in the sun
Pillars of great strength raising
High seemly all the way into the sky
Lovable and gentle sweet creatures
Spreading their love and true devotion
Black yellows greens blues and purple pinks
Passing glassy ships filled of inconceivable dreams
In a spinning wheel orbiting weaving on the time
Penning words overflowing thoughts with volumes of my mind.

life, love,
I found you in a rustling of wings,
gentle flight of the great chariot
in a desert of snow,
in a frolicking of saunter children .
in a cry of live,
in a clarification of longing,
among the stones.
no hands,
no legs ... only the soul
wrapped in a
tree bark.
you ever thought I would get lost
through sunrises and sunsets
and well would be
to find my north from the heart.
my eyes bathed in blessed wonders
to move
to you.

I wish for you …
Smiles if sadness intrudes.
Courage to know yourself
Happiness that joy includes
I wish for you …
Faith to believe in you
Sunrises to warm your heart
And beauty to see with your eyes
I wish for you…
Laughter to sanctify your lips.
Rainbows to chase all your clouds
And friendships to shower at your door
I wish all this,and more than here for you,
And to make peace and love yours too.

love
we pause
in flight
as if suspended clouds
arms outstretched
to the sky
as if imaginary
silver wings
reaching far into
the unborn sunrises
of our lives
we are two
you and i
in total unison
side by side
the luxury
of trust
without fear
the splendour
of gentle love
our only wardrobe
the naked truth
soaring in flight
parachutes not required
dreams shared as one
seatbelts discarded
for the safety
each others heartbeat
...up up and away

emotions, feelings, first love, i love you, light, london,
It is strange to think,I have not seen you in a month.
I have seen the new moon,but not you.
I have seen sunsets and sunrises,but nothing of your beautiful face.
The pieces of my broken heart can pass through the eye of a needle.
I miss you like the sun misses the flower.Like the sun misses the flower in the depths of winter.
Instead of beauty to direct its light to,the heart hardens like the frozen world your absence has sent me to.
I next compete in Paris.I'll find it empty and cold if you're not there.
Hope guides me.It gets me through the day and especially the night.The hope that after you leave my sight it will not be the last time I look upon you.

Come along retire, travel with me
Be my love in places we've not seen
We'll travel around the world our home
Roaming those valleys and mountains tall
Our love won't wane only grow__untame
We will have all our pleasures anew
Every moment treasure other
Whilst each day brings us new sunrises
Each one more glorious__ exciting
If these pleasures seem your heart to move
Come be my love in our latter life
In passage over the ocean blue
We'll travel see the world anew__dream
Dreams that our imagination schemes

Colors of the sunset
painted on the sky canvas
mixed emotions
abstract thoughts
impressions of love
cloud strokes lost
a palette of dreams
sits by the waste side
a talent of words
a misguided brush
a nervous hand
so many imagines
can't comprehend
a gesso of emptiness
search for a masterpiece
a work of art within a universe of undiscovered
sunrises

journey, love,
One day all too soon,
love will find you,
in the sunrises,
you won't realize it,
until the sunsets,
until the end drawn near,
Grimm reaper stands drawing near,
slowly he swings he's knife,
erasing your love, in a blink of an eye,
your heart collapses,
turning in on its self,
you start to feel like the girl,
who no longer has a soul,
don't give up, keep going strong,
because love will find you again and bring you home,
your soul will return, your heart will,
rebuild its self,
love is a magical thing,
because you never lose it,
it just lays lingering.

lost love,
Did I come to you in the night?
To tempt you?
Tempt you into something right?
Did I bring you nightmares?
Nightmares of brown eyes.
Lurking in the shadows of your mind.
Locked in boxes you left behind.
So you could scapegoat my reality.
I fell from Heaven.
Fell to lay at your feet,
burn in your eyes,
and freeze in your shadow.
I fell to hold sunrises for you.
Shining like the Mercury.
Playing my guitar as you drift away.
As you climb through the cold air above.
Leaving me behind and searching.
Searching for a frozen love.
E.G. Maynard.

Oh God! Give me light
Please make me fight
Oh God! Make me bright
Please make me rise
Oh God! Bless my heart
Please make the darkness depart
Oh God! Bestow on me love
Please make me realize
That happiness or sadness
Be there sunrises or sunsets
Be it good days or bad…
They happen only to proclaim
Your might and your insight
Please God ! Pour on me peace
Let the turmoil decease!
Make me strong
Make me bold
Today and forever
Make me yours!

West Central Georgia sunrise.
Pink cotton candy swirled with Indigo
passes away into ocean sand dotted by pale yellow sun.
Crows caw in the not so distant pines
while call of Mocking Bird a steady chatter.
A rare crowing of rooster's call
maybe they decided not to rise at all..
Cool dry air surrounds my being;
its touch gentle and soothing like a new love..
Breathing made easy in blessed morn..
Just a few moments to absorb the dew
to appreciate nature a blessing from above;
get in tune or center..
Time flies when in His presence ..
Duty calls..
Responsibility present..

love,
Sensual your form that filters through lace
To warm my eyes in its glorious glow
As candlelight lays still, upon your face
Shadows dance across the room very slow
A night bird calls as lovers we whisper
Silence is too inviting while heart's sing
The candlelight flickers its soft glister
To show a glimpse of the smile you bring
The morning sunrises kisses still burn
The memory of each kiss stays for days
To leave an image in our souls to yearn
Kept in the dreams from love that always stays
We found in our eyes passionate desire
The ecstasy from love's wanton fire

absence, fate, goodbye, judgement, love, sorry, time,
He apparently cried the entire winter
All alone from the inside
By the side of our lake
We didn’t know
He wept from his broken pipes
Beds couches book cases wall paintings
Picture windows filled with sunrises
Sodom and Gomorrah drown
In fountains of cold
Skirted with ceiling-high black mold
True
I had glanced back late last fall
With thirty years of memories and love
My disobedience to God answered
I suppose
We always thought there’d be one more summer.

desire, devotion, girlfriend, love,
This secluded epoch proceeds exceedingly.
This requisite delay, daily trudgery.
Amassing scores of lonely sunrises.
My reclusive heart concealed
willingly abandoned; neglected desire
awaiting my fate, a reunion
the one I long for.

Every single day I think so much of you
What else to you my Love I can say
I can't help it but to think of you day and night
You bring in my whole life so much light
Without you miles play havoc in my heart
As I watch sunrises and sunsets before me die
When you are not there right beside me
Non-stop my heart deep inside for you cry
And I hear your voice and feel your presence
It doesn't really matter where my love I may go
You make my life with so much love aglow
And I know that forever I want to love you so.

A colorful time of year
The skies are oh so clear
The sun shines bright
For our delight
Longer and warmer days
Welcoming the sun’s blaze
Trees and flowers blooming
Grilled foods we are consuming
Pools opening
Divers motioning
Windows down
Cruising ‘round town
Bicycle riding
Hang gliding
Cliff diving
Race car driving
Trail hiking
Beach volleyball spiking
Early sunrises, late sunsets
Picnics packed with baguettes
Romance in the air
It only takes a pair
First kiss
True love is bliss
Twelve hours of sunlight
Not quite
Some more, some less
Ostara has finesse
Rebirth, balance, and renewal
Spring looks like a jewel

life, love,
The sunrises
I'm still me
Moving right along
Can't you see
I have a goal
This will never change
I bought a house
It isn't that strange
I'm happy
Optimistic all the time
I love all seasons
Time is all mine
Holidays ring true
I paint and draw
I learn every day
From something I did or saw
I became skilled
In more ways than one
I am a mother
To daughters and sons
I am stable
I can dance
I cannot hate
But I love romance
You,
I will always haunt
I'll Always have the things
You'll never want

if i have one mouth
between two hearts
i shall shout --maybe
whisper love!
if my two feet run
between doubt
and paradise i run
--those hungry shadows
upon my weeping feet!
The sunrises are opened
crimson eyes bleeding
belief and love so i am
So i run toward belief
When morning mourning
comes i am little
asking light for life
asking heart for soul
asking life for thou
and of me? I am the
weeping feet running
toward the greatest
sunrise of all hearts!

'O, reason not the need! Our basest beggars
Are in the the poorest thing superfluous.
Allow not nature more than Nature needs,
Man's life is cheap as beast's!'
~ King Lear, Act 2, Scene 4
The truth is simple
We are in love
What need we
creamsicle sunrises
or pink turtledoves
Our hearts beat as one
As each day is run
Wherefore wish for
magenta sunsets
or gossamer nets
Love's in our thoughts
~ Our needs are naught

beautiful, happy, love, marriage, romantic, sweet love, together,
Woven together like fine mesh
A perfect fit of flesh with flesh
Handshaking
Mutual between romancers
Affirmations flow like dancers
Handwritten
Pearl earrings, dress of lace
Roses, baby's breath, and vase
Hand-chosen
A diamond in a ring of gold
The framework of a new house sold
Handcrafted
Young bride and groom, fifty years wed
Sunrises and sunsets ahead
Handholding
