My Angel I've known you forever it seems, Thoughts of you fill my dreams. When I need you, you are there, With understanding, compassion, and care. Magic sparkles in your eyes, Reflecting the secrets of the wise. Your touch is that of gentle seas, Caressing my body like a summer breeze. There is no way to truly describe, The feelings that you leave inside. Except to say their heavenly, For something never meant to be. My angel, please go back above, For I cannot accept your love. You're born to fly, always free, And you shall never belong to me. KAW Written when I was 15............I would like to include this "answer" to my poem, written by my good friend, Hamlet!!*S*......*hugs*......Thanks, Hamlet!!*S* The Angel Replies. I was sent to guide you, Please don't send me home. In the history of your kind There has been only one Who was worthy of heaven's attention. He died while angels wept, But he died for you. His sacrifice makes everyone acceptable, Like the poet says: "As long as you believe" Written by Hamlet New Zealand
Listen To The Angels Call When Father Time takes my hand And leads my escape from this life, The angels will blow their golden trumpets, stroke their harps, and play their fifes. As I begin my final steps through life's corridor, Unhurried in my solemn pace towards that ominous looming door, My moments being somewhat numbered, rapidly nearing expiration, I'll reflect on my former days with true appreciation. I'll savor all the pleasant times, and share their happiness, Silently wish my last goodbyes to friends and relatives, Dream my finest daydreams, and relive my frivolous whims, Then finally I'll arrive at the threshold of my journey's end. The door swings slowly open revealing filmy streams of mist, Parted by beams of sparkling sunlight, and blessed by Heaven's kiss. Temptation will tug at my soul beckoning me to drift through, And as I yield to Paradise, I will think of you. KAW I also wrote this when I was 15!!*S*..............
AS LONG AS YOU BELIEVE Talking to him is like reading a romance novel..... Silently wanting to drink in the words and let them permeate your soul..... Transforming into the picture he paints of you. Smiling so expressively, as he offers you a rose. Knowing you don't really live in his world, but feeling as if you are home. Moments escaping reality, becoming a princess of dreams..... Allowing him to lift your spirits, and let your heart grow wings..... And yes, you sense your own world's truth, leading to expressions of joy after you talk. He will be there sometime again..... Sensitive, charming, compassionate; yet steadfast as a rock. Was he real or is it fantasy? A reflection of dreams come true..... And then as realization emerges from mist, you know Fate has delivered your Muse..... He calls you hon and listens well..... He shares with you his love..... His encouragement enhances your confidence, and inspires you to achieve. He whispers, "Hon, I'll always be here with you," "As long as you believe....." KAW dedicated to Rock and Nightfall*S*......Thanks for the inspiration!!*S*
The Beauty in your Eyes In glancing up from my morning routine, The mirror revealing just how I'm seen, Beginning to wonder just what others view.... Glancing once again at me, and then to you.... I realize, that what I see, Is not the way it has to be.... If what I see reflected in your eyes is true. That beauty is not a constant thing, It's an ever changing point of view. The reflection in the mirror I see, Is a different person, Looking back at me, Then when I chance to gaze into your eyes.... So why, if both are me, Can I not seem to realize, The difference is to me, I can never seem myself to do enough. But when I gaze into your eyes, What I see reflected there is love. It's then I know when you see me.... My heart and soul, Is what you see.... That the reflection in the mirror sometimes lies.... And when I cannot please myself, I need only find the beauty in your eyes! KAW For my Husband James!!*S*........
A CROSSING OF PATHS The lady in white steps carefully, choosing her path across the forest floor. Gently entering the summer of life, extremely happy, but wanting more. She travels back within her mind, to days when she was young. Drinking deeply from the emotional well, from which, all dreams are sprung. She chooses yet another path, and steps forward without fright. Stopping to rest beneath a tree, beautifully reflecting the secrets of night. She could see where frost had come, and enveloped him late in spring. His branches stood out straight and strong, but his leaves were not yet green. Crystals of ice from that late frost remained, untouched by sweet sunlight. Connecting to her searching soul, mesmerising the lady in white. She longed to see beneath the frost, to protect from bitter cold. To heal all ills with a gentle kiss, and mend his wounded soul. As she leaned upon this tree, and drifted off to dream, She envisioned him touched by sunlight's kiss, and his leaves returning green. She sang a song of hope and grace, emparting never ending love, And then she stood in summer's place, feeling radiance from above..... Her smile brightened the forest glade, as stars shone in the night. Her laughter twinkled through the trees, enhanced by his delight. And then, as if by miracle his leaves had shimmered green. His aura sparkled; melting frost, and set his spirit free. Free to love and laugh again, with all right to be alive..... To channel pain and sorrow, as a mechanism to survive..... A wood sprite stepped forward quietly, so as not to disturb her repose..... He kissed her gently on the forhead, and left her delicately holding a rose. Moments later she woke smiling, facing a path returning home again. She pressed a green leaf against her lips, and whispered......"With Love,....forever......friend." KAW For Nightfall.....my answer to 'Trust No One'.....*hugs* Lil' Brother!!!........Thanks for being an inspiration to me!!!*S*....
My Special Friend I've met a man so special, So kind, and good, and true. To hear these things said of himself, he would still be asking, Who?
