we live but once
as the clock of time
counts our days
life is short.

Past And Future
the future is nothing
it's the past that lives for me
as real as today it lives
the past when I was young
and my little boys were so sweet
with big blue eyes
and rosy cheeks
my angels my own
my three little boys
I remember trips to the cabin
and swims in the lake
cooking out and roasting marshmallows
hide and seek in the woods
lots of laughter and giggles
oh times were sweet
when they were young
now they are men on their own
and need me not
I miss those days
I miss the past
the kisses and hugs and long curly hair
all gone to grownup things
the past is forgotten
but lives
in my memory alone
forgotten by all but me

The Space Between Us
the space between us
can it grow any larger
days past so quickly
I long for your arms
to hold me close at night time
oh my love please please
She Left
As my mother lie dying. I knew it was an ending. I knew that my sister
and I would now be the next generation. As I looked deep into the sweet brown eyes
I had always known, I said my goodbyes. Mommy I love you. I have always love you.
Taking her hand in mine I tried to reach her. But her eyes were focused elsewhere.
She knew me not. Perhaps she saw her savior. Perhaps she saw my father. I climbed into bed with her. Holding her tight. Telling her it was all right to go. And she left me.
gone to her reward
carried on sweet angels wings
to sit with her Lord
Darkness Of Winter
darkness
of winter time
snow falls covering all
deep sparkling snow blinds the eyes
all dark

Necter Of Life
sweet nectar the ripe fruit bears
licking fingers all
children suck fruit dry
little gluttons search for more
oh so sweet they are
The Deep
sold beneath the river
black ice thick and dark
all lies still and quiet
the winter has settled in
fish dream far below
buried deep within
winters sold grip
spring a dream away away

Echoing Frost
with summers soft membranes clinging still.
Limb by limb I stack the wood breathing hard.
Lady shakes her head snorting her displeasure
of the snow now falling around us. I work on
while clouds puff from my body in the misty cold.
I hear my voice echoing tinged with frost stay girl stay.
winters frost has come
wrapping us in biting cold
my voice echos ice
When I Was Young
so much younger then today
never needed love
not in any way
through the many years to come
I danced all alone
love was just for fun
now those days have come and gone
and I long for you
long for your sweet touch
need to whisper words of love
giving you my heart

A Fools Paradise
ever searching for
paradise in a women
sweet words to woo her
flowers to place at her feet
whispers of love forever
a man ever looks for
that which does not exist
a fools paradise where there is none
A Paradise Lost
Deeper into the forest seeking respite for the weary.
Here once a place of peace and eternity,now a paradise lost.
Still she searches for her kind. Here in nevermore where palaces
and gardens once bloomed. They are gone to the west leaving
nothing behind.Tears cascade down from her beautiful eyes as
sorrow fills her heart.Now she wanders alone amid a forest of graves.
She is lost forever for they are never to return.
a paradise lost
to time and sorrow forever
she walks alone now

Winters Waves
I feel the cold breezes cover my body
and hear the roar of winter waves
summers sand but a memory
a memory of you
gone with the tides
winter whips around my body
leaving only it's cruel touch
it's cruel and lonely touch

Rich Red Poppies
red realm of beauty from field
to gate and beyond.
So lovely so alive free in the
wild of life. Free in the matters
of things. Free for all to see
and hold close forever.
Rich red red poppies lie close
to my heart. For they in death
are a part of you and me.

Lavender Twilight
birds seeking their rest on high
musically sighing
soft murmurs so sweet
fill the evenings late hours
quiet now at rest
heads tucked under wings
little souls now full of peace
waiting for the dawn

Birds In The Sky
above the blue ocean
crying out a sad call
waves respond to their rhythm
back and forth the foam rises
all is lost in wind and rain
mystical forms ride the tides
Deep within my heart
I carry your image
this is for eternity
it shall be forever
nothing will change
nothing will burst
for you are mine forever
Where are you?
in the winters darkness
so cold so bleak
my heart is frozen
I wait for spring to release me
and want for your touch to wake me
Friends and readers........
Since I broke my shoulder and elbow I have not been up to writing. I will now try to catch up on all prompts.

The Best Of Me
I think of him and wonder what went wrong.
We were bound together in love and happiness.
Two like souls intertwined forever.
I gave him the best of me and yet
it would seem it was not enough.
How do I live without him?
Simply walking on the paths we took
is too much for me.
I miss his arms around me.
I miss his kisses sweet.
I miss his body next to me
and I miss his tender love.
Time has not changed how I feel.
Time has not healed my heart.
He took the best of me and
left nothing to live on.
He took the best of me and left me to cry

Autumn Silence
hues of burnt orange and yellow
crisp cool breezes flow
silence fills the air
alone I sit and listen
as leaves sigh and fall
Misty Blue Ocean
I see the blueness of your eyes
deep within the ocean
I hear your soft voice as the waves rush in
If only you were with me
If only I could bring you back to me
too much time has past since we parted
too much pain has molded me
those blue eyes flash for someone else now
those blue eyes long for another
I have but shades of blue memories
fading as I walk alone beside a misty blue ocean

You Have Forgotten
and see eternity
my heart bleeds for you
but you care not
shall I give you my soul
my very being.
my life's plan
or should I forget you
and all your beautiful words
that thrill my being
let me go, let me love another
I cling to you as if we were lovers
yet I know you have forgotten me.
I look into your eyes
I look into your eyes

No Matter How It Hurts
no matter how it hurts
losing one you loved
all remains the same
time has a way of turning
all tears into smiles
as we ever long
for that one moment in time
when love comes along
Loves Desire
His heart seeks what he cannot have___
The perfection of her soft skin, her face
The love that lies in her eyes, yet not for him
Beauty has molded time, radiant in starlight she shines
Pale as the virgin moon she walks through the night streets
"Surely what secrets she endures, her pure glorious features
Come, from the constellations, a gift.... not meant for mankind"

Auras In Blue
wispy sky's afloat
shimmering auras in blue
summers last perfume
bluebells gone away
as color fades in the mist
leaving orange red tints
blue trees frost time comes
sends shivers up tree branches
summers blue now gone
Bath Time Dreaming
softly sponging her body
daydreaming of him
lying back she smiled
ardent were his kisses sweet
lips smooth and giving
tonight she would know
as stars raced across the sky
if his love was true

Paper Tears
absorption remains sorrow
letting go is hard
paper tears not real
only feed a rich anger
when love could bind all
give me the freedom
to search your inner being
and feel your soft heart
love raptures us all
willing or not we grow
into loves true gift

Ghostly Laundry
as bed sheet ghosts run and twirl
dad sips his cold beer
children run around an round
ghosts chasing flowers edges

Nights Love ( a repost)
rising from her bed
she washes nights love away
dripping on the floor
This is a poor copy of a poet well known among us. His poetry is outstanding. I love to read his work.
Outside In
in love with love so divine
inside out my heart
falls apart piece after piece
never learning from the past

Hues Of Gold
tints of red orange plum and green
screen now empty trees
fairies hopes and dreams
woven mists move to drum beats
falls dancers have come
they twirl round and round
singing their sweet melodies
till dawn fills the sky

The Poetry Weaver
to him.Poetry my downfall. Woven tightly around me. Warp and weft he wove
his lovely words of desire and bound fast my heart. Long before I knew the sound of
his voice, the look in his eyes,the taste of his lips he had me trapped in love and need.There was no escape from this shimmering web. He fed on my on my flesh and my soul.
a spiders web holds
through nights of love and longing
and with the dawn breaks
left behind torn rent
drained of all my innocence
clutching wispy words
empty tenderness
now meant for some other love
bloodless left to cry
beware those sweet words
beware those dark shining eyes
beware tides that bind.

The River Swift
a river overflowing
it's raw jagged banks
tears pool here and there
as winters frozen snow melts
pale blood left behind
gone his loving care
gone his quiet gentle smile
gone his words of love
empty is my heart
cold my skin has now become
numb my world grows dim
my floating body
caught in a whirlpool of ice
soon sinks from all time

The Clowns
black circles under glass eyes
friendly...they do not smile
they creep towards me
in somersaults spinning
to music only they can hear
I am trapped by their stares
daddy, daddy I whisper
tugging on his arm...he does not notice
slowly, nearer and nearer
I want to scream...
I want to run...
reaching with white gloved hands
now, I frozen with fear, jump up
the lights go dark and I drift away
Oh My Love
time, time so cruel so short and I can not remember
your touch your voice our loving together
would but time give back what it has taken
could I but know and taste our sweet murmurings once more
if you could but forgive my pride and take away my pain
I long to kiss your lips,feel your heat as we lie side by side again
Friday, October 7, 2011
Careless Lover
unthinking uncaring that now I am empty
my love pushed aside no longer needed
I will move on now parting in pain
oh careless lover you will forget me soon enough

Gemini's Incubus
Green shoots everywhere
Earth yawns and stirs
Meadows full with daffodil's
In out of cement gardens
Nature will push pavement aside
Incubus grows unnoticed in shadows
The Laguage Of Love
husky smoking and complete
language links need and desire
as our bodies lie intertwined
captured in this unending place of pleasure
Words Are All WE Have
they link our souls
together they bind
our hearts and minds
never to be apart
when you whisper
so soft and sweet
words of need
I am yours forever
The Sea
Mist rises from the ocean's depth.
The sea, green gray, dark and deep.
Each wave rushes towards me, then
like a forlorn lover recedes again.
Sprites, sirens of the night call to me
as they dance upon the white foam.
Glittering in the darkness.
And I watch the enigmatic moonlight
change the tiny beings' colors, sliver gold.
As they like dancers in the dead of night,
leap from wave to wave.
Crystalline laughter echoes softly. Almost
lost in the surf's sound. My feet, naked, buried
deep within the sand that pervades my flesh with
dampness.
And I wait.
Wait for the tide to once more slip slowly
back into the murky sea.
I wait and dawn breaks to warm my cold still body
Temptation
when I look into your dark brown eyes
it takes my breath away....
I drown in those eyes
each time I look at you....
you know just how to make me tremble
when you whisper soft and low
your kiss on my neck....
my body opens like a primrose
ah, I breath you in....
my body is an open book....
a book you have learned to read so well
as you turn the pages, every sigh is there
every moan is there....
you play your game with me....
until I can wait no longer

His Shuffling Walk
eyes softly glowing red
from whence he came
no one knew only fear kept his company
his skin blotched and worn
frightening more then a few early
morning libertine home from the pub
what creature was this shuffling with in the shadows
