Frolicking along through the weekend haze,
Trying to drown Old Misery's daze.
A `Mermaid' appeared right out of the clear!
Or was it just my weekend beer?
With fun and laughter she did glide
Pushing Old Misery to the side.
Wow, what a vivacious diamond I have here!
Or was it just my weekend beer?
Warm and tempting did she weave.
Smiles and friendship she did leave.
Oh tell me this I ask abyss,
Can cupid's Arrows ever miss?
I held back on my liquid cheer
To determine - if it was my weekend beer.
With a heart and mind that is clear,
Now I know it wasn't my weekend beer!
Its sting has no cure.
So beware of this BUG!
No one can escape
It’s venomous tug!
Visions of reality
Are laid to waste.
Profound by its honey
Food has no taste.
Mountains move easier
Than breaking it’s hold.
Wisdom is folly
Within it’s hold.
Hearken the message
In truth I tell.
Beware of this BUG!
I'm under its spell.
Capacious and full of care
Is her Teddy Bear.
Inner secrets it does hold
All that's within her soul yet untold.
To her sorrows it listens with no sleep,
While her heart does pour out and weep.
Stalwart it enjoys being crushed with hugs
When life releases love's unending tugs.
Oh to converse with this friend to find
What is upon her precious heart and mind!
To create in her a brand new light,
With peace and love I'll set its sights.
Small and petite;
Beauty so complete!
Splendor and grace;
A smiling face.
Flowers to share,
For you I care.
Oh precious sight,
A new day's light.
Small and graceful are the lines.
Shapes and angles perfect to the mind.
By yourself beauty is there on hold;
With directed energy galactic visions do unfold!
Hearts are warm while in your glow,
For what you perspicaciously emit is no show.
Oh little jewel! What a precious find!
You, I will always hold, in my heart and mind!
While talking one lazy day
To a friend I did happen to say;
"I am hooked, She's got the look!"
He asked me what I've seen.
For as he was puzzled by what I mean;
"I was hooked. And she's got the look."
Her eyes are pure and simple
Revealing what's in the soul's temple.
They weave a captivating spell
That pierces the heart's protective shell.
Her smile is as pure as gold.
My heart needs not be twice told.
That she may very well control,
The path that my life does stroll.
Then my friend after a while
Said with a wise old smile.
"She's got you hooked, Cause you've got the look!"
With darkness all around
I heard its subtle sound.
I could not just turn around
Its existence was wanting to be found.
In a brown study way I found its light
Dim and hidden from obvious sight,
Encased in life's merciless blight.
Pleading freedom, to give it flight!
Reflectively in its embrace I fell
It casts an everlasting spell.
Rockets and flares just barely tell,
Pure rapture did it impel!
Because I can't stop thinking of YOU
Created this poem I did for YOU.
`LOVE'
In the darkest of the night it beamed so bright.
A jewel so radiant and rare,
With beauty that none can compare!
In striving to obtain it was plucked from sight.
So darkness began to weave its wretched blight.
I searched the heavens and saw it there.
Woe! So near, so far, it’s just not fair!
To restrain from my reach,
While darkness closes in on every breach.
Oh radiant jewel can there be
A way, a place for you and me,
To conquer darkness and its blight;
To live in everlasting light?
When within the room it appears
Shattering loneliness oppressive spheres.
Lifting spirits to a high
Even though it’s just passing by.
Flowers pale to its splendid grace.
The sun and stars dim to give it space.
In its natural state, no fakes!
From the heart it’s meaning takes.
Through your eyes the soul does show
The true meaning, of your lustrous glow.
Warmth and caring of others is your stand,
Sharing what was given by God's own hand.
In a pit did she lay,
Just a pebble I dare not say!
They did their jobs with unperceiving sight
Sending her on a vapid flight.
Trammeled from an exemplary view
Why did they do this to you?
Is everyone blind as a fool?
This is no mere pebble but a jewel!
Then one day came hope I thought,
When for gleam she was sought.
But with insipid settings did they play;
Skipping her across waves to where she now lay.
With gibing torrents she is hued.
Why are they doing this to you?
Is everyone blind as a fool?
This is no mere pebble but a jewel!
To polish and shape her I will aspire.
Establishing her beauty to where all would admire.
Embedding her in a gold lace ebony tree,
Portraying her as the gem she was meant to be.
For the fools in their haste could not see;
The priceless jewel she been pleading to be.
Not everyone is as blind as a fool,
I see this priceless JEWEL!
What is the key to LOVE I plea?
For all need it so desperately!
More than feelings of the heart that play.
If taken right is forever here to stay.
Forced it will surely flee,
Selfishly hoarded it can not be.
Alone it will not stand,
It binds more than we understand.
Many faces does it hold
Here's one you've never been told.
Love is now for all time to come
A microsecond back a memory it becomes.
Forward in the future its hope you see.
To hold it just cannot be.
So keep this in mind --
It is this love I intend to find.
These roses I send for you
To keep your heart from turning blue.
Though they're late by a day or two,
It's not because I've forgotten you.
Each bud you count is to say
Something about you that is good in every way.
For these roses splendid they may be
Can't touch the beauty I see in thee.
Mere words could not have expressed
Your thoughts, your heart from which I'm blessed!
Has Cupid's arrows struck me blind?
Are you the one my heart seeks to find?
A smile that fills your winsome face.
A body that moves with liquid grace.
Oh tell me can this be?
This vision of a queen I see.
Your eyes so clear and refreshingly true.
That sparkle like the sun on the morning dew.
A heart that's full of love and compassion;
Not just the local perfidious fashion
Oh! Can it be?
YOU’RE the one for me!
My heart does scream with no protest
With your hand I truly would be blessed!
These three roses I'm giving to you;
Tells the way my heart feels for you.
They tell of the time that you’re on my mind.
Day - Night - plus what ever spare time I can find!
They tell the ways I think of you.
In the past with memories that last.
In the present where loneliness rules, "I MISS YOU!"
And in the future where dreams wait to come true.
They tell of many different things
With lots of different words.
But what I really want to say,
Can be said in just three little words.
I LOVE YOU!!!
Look into a rose, What do you see?
A flower or marriage’s secret which would it be.
The plant as a whole you must take
To understand the importance that’s at stake.
Thorns Oppose your taking hold
As in life, so the stories been told
The blossoms pedals so soft they glow.
Look hard for the secret I am trying to show.
Its colors so alive, so Vivid, so pure
As must your heart be for it to endure.
The plant as a whole a beauty unsurpassed
Can you see the secret? One more clue I will cast.
With patience and proper care; Eternally it revives
As does the marriage; you must always strive.
What the secret? You’ve read every clue.
It’s in plain sight, marriage’s very own glue.
While pondering one idle day,
Upon this ring my eyes could hear it say.
Listen and guard this thought,
Of marriage and wisdom that cannot be bought.
When I was formed and in my making,
Conjoint with two ends for the taking.
Clasped together in my bend,
You find no beginning, no end.
Puzzled for what it meant
I inquired its message sent.
Acknowledging it unfolded to say
Its light in my heart will always stay.
A line for the couple it stands,
Tied together, but having their own paths.
But as a circle it's meaning grows
For being married this wisdom should show.
Love holds together, it's seams it seals.
Of equals for which there are no appeals.
Without love and its grace to paste,
A ring becomes a line; its meaning goes to waste.
Answer this petition I pray of you,
What makes a friend that is true?
Is it being honest and true?
Maybe showing a little flattery too?
Is it being able to listen when one is blue?
Sharing what your heart expels to you?
How about laughing and joking in fun,
Or just plain talking under the sun?
I know its not stepping on one's toes
Nor one-sided will it grow.
Are we friends, me and you?
Flattery I did bestow on you
Characterizing qualities I see in you.
My intention I clearly laid out.
With respect to you I gave my `Seed'
To have a friend is all I need.
Just a friend in need
Sowing all my friendship seed.
What's behind the mask of a clown?
Is it what the surface sounds?
Jovially cheating laughter in all to be found;
Crushing frowns that turn light brown.
Steering crowds away from their blues
Thru threading life's garroting bowl.
With compassion from his soul
To direct it's antics with his clues
With life's pressures from the start;
Can it meticulously be, that he,
Has found the answer of this anguished sea
That tears and gnaws upon the heart?
Before enchanting seeds of mirth will take hold
Revealing to others first must conclude.
To reap this harvest of propitious attitude
And fill the spirit with unselfish gold.
Let me tell a story, it starts off blue.
Like for many others, it’s all so true.
Held in a state of low esteem,
Life's hand was dealt, shattering dreams.
Within its disillusion his worth he thought was not.
So an angel was sent by God, who hadn't forgot.
Assiduous compassion this angel did use. To explore
Sundry talents and values he seem to ignore.
Still he abstain to open his mind!
Again this angel with a heart so kind;
Proclaimed with vehemence
`WHAT you think is WHAT you are!’
So have faith; BELIEVE; you'll go far!
The hardest move in life
Is letting go without strife.
Ravenous fears and emotions play;
Thru deluded thoughts alone you stay.
With anguished hurt you try to hold
Only to tear a greater hole!
Oh, is there a way I cry,
Just to be able to say goodbye?
In the key to letting go,
True love you must show.
Caring more for the other
Letting God's hand be the cover.
Then time will heal
And a friendship you will seal.
Look in a mirror, what do you see?
Is it what others perceive;
Or what your mind makes you believe?
When is a smile a smile?
Or a frown just a frown?
Does one's body betray its thoughts?
Can one really tell what's on the heart;
Expressing to others without showing the part?
I tell you the mirror doesn't lie.
It has no motive to slant its eye.
So then take its message
Use it to your advantage.
Make others see what you feel
Then life's meaning will you seal.
Moment upon moment is all you see.
The future you don't know;
And the past is but a memory sea.
Take control of the moment and you will grow!
Though ironic as it may seem.
It takes darkness and pain
For joy's light to gleam.
Happiness is here for you to claim.
So open your eyes to pierce this gray.
Look for the moment to make this your day!
I met a lady from this place she be.
How immensely lucky can one be?
Though only a few times did we see
To tell this feeling she created in me.
These words I must write for her to see.
`Imagine the exhilarating feeling you have
when after a long dry spell there comes a
good rain causing the grass and trees to
expel the fragrance of life. That's the
feeling that overcomes me when ever I hear
her friendly voice. With eyes that are both
refreshing and tranquil to a soul. Top that
with the long wavy hair and a smile that could
turn the coldest iceberg to a flaming sun.'
It would be presumptuous to believe
She would go out with the likes of me.
To take her on a romantic spree,
Dinner for two and dance till are hearts were free.
Oh what a night that could be!
Exploring both heart and mind
Would I find a real gold mine?
Though I'm reluctant from events of late,
I know she the one I would like to date.
Just one grain of sand
On a dessert land.
Or one glimmering light
In a star lit night.
Perplexing my thoughts may be
Your smiling face I cannot flee!
What sets you apart?
To captivate my heart.
Can this quandary on my heart's door;
Mean your the one I'm looking for?
Or in it should I shy,
And let time pass me by?
Days gone by, they seem like years!
Eyes are swollen from heart-felt tears.
Memories of when the light did shine
In a chimera that was greater than wine.
Curse your timing, Oh Hand of Fate,
To present this jewel, when it is too late!
Oh to turn back the hands of time!
Just to hold her hand in mine.
Then in heaven would we be!
This precious queen and me.
Oh rapacious demon of the mind
What causes your nefarious kind
To cozen this one's very soul
To steal his visions, his goal?
Light once shined upon his face,
Endowing life with expanding grace.
There was nothing that couldn't be done
Knowing his love was the only one.
Then darkness one day did spread
It’s lugubrious web on his head.
Stealing the gleam from his eye,
In his gloom; He tried to die!
Disperse oh clouds of lone despair
And with life's compassion do repair
Bring him back to verve with love to spare
Cheating the death from this demon's snare
Pierce his blinded soul clear through
Destroying this ponderous blow that made life blue.
To see that light still lives true
But through other vessels he must view.
Within these walls it stray
Stalking random victims for its prey
Weaving tormenting fears of gloom
Closing in to leave no room
Oh is there help at the door
For it has me on the floor
It’s incarcerating power within me pours
For in crowds still it roars.
It fetters the mind with flickering shadows
Leaving the heart discarded and shallow
Oh is there help I implore
For take it I can do no more
Help is there to contend and bind
Open your eyes, don't be daunt and blind
From the start with open hands
Help did offer to assist your stand
For in this sphere both far and near
Friends you may not know hold you dear
Love once did freely flow
With freedom that allowed it to grow
As each day filtered away
Intertwining hearts did it play
Chide this demon's snare I say
That wedge its presents here to stay
Suffocating love's fervent flow
With mistrusts did it grow
While pursuing help, this light was shed
Think of a candle. Picture it in your head
The candle is a lady and its flame is her love
Lighted she burns with undying love
Now the demon's name; the glass we'll call
If over the candle the flame will fall
Take heed my friend I must share
Let love have some breathing air
Uncanny as it may seem
I'm taken by a dream.
Answer this beckoning call
Before I break and fall!
She stands with perfect air
The fragrance of her beauty is everywhere.
Thru limped brown eyes
Its spell holds me while time flies.
Tell me it is not to late
To twist the hand of fate.
And find what it would take
To catch her heart and get a date!
Just a rock in sinking sand
On this island alone I stand.
With no love to hold on,
Is there a reason to go on?
Try as I might, I can do no right.
Life keeps dealing its ponderous blight!
Where's a thread to hold on?
Is there a reason I should go on?
Love I share, there's no one there
It passes on into thin air.
Trying I am to hold on
I need a reason to go on.
Is my nature so vitriolic in what they see?
How wanton I must seem to be?
Oh heart of mine, Why ponder on?
I have no reason to go on!
A smile, a wink, a friendly drink;
An open port to say what you think.
For fun to break the steady grind
Too late it snared you blind!
It plays the strings of the heart
Wily encoding all who take part.
Integrated and hidden among innocent thoughts
It weaves a web in which all are caught.
It opens doors to emotions of destruct
Leading hearts on a road of distrust
Barring the love of your mate you find
It leads you down its path so blind.
Lord! Help us all to see right thru
This demon's plot that causes hearts to unglue
For its the most dangerous of all
Causing all it touches to come to a fall!
Jerks, assholes, and bitches;
Only difference is in their britches!
With traits and actions so trite
The list of descriptions is out of sight.
To name a few I'll try to do.
Stratagem, mountebank, gudgeon, and cozen;
With amour-propre they think they are chosen.
They distend in circles with impugn dung.
Befuddled they emerge like old fables sung.
Full of avidity and rapacious thoughts
Concern for others is all but lost.
As long as their parsimonious ego has fun
They think their number one.
Jerks, assholes, and bitches;
One of life's greatest glitches!
Why torment me so, Oh Hand of Fate,
To leave my heart in such a state?
When I was a young and handsome sight
You placed in my heart a love so bright.
No shadow could err befall me, you see,
For by my side, this love would always be.
Then the dark clouds did you heave and boil!
Ripping up love, tearing my heart with your fatal coil!
So held in this dark and lugubrious gloom,
Life for me was running out of room!
Then from LOVE and all its form did I run.
Fearing it far worse than any gun.
Till now with Cupid's piercing arrow
You tore my heart open to love's sorrow.
Stealing my every thought my every dream,
For this love every fiber of my heart does scream!
This love eats at my soul, as for blood would a leach.
Yet you hold this love just out of reach!
To hold and cherish this love would I endow
Giving freely from the heart all God would allow.
So, Oh Hand Of Fate, for this love, I plea!
Or to hiding you'll force this heart to flea.
For the pain, you see, would be
Far to great for me!
