Posted: 7/22/2006 10:15:24 AM | Since I dont have time to post anything new at the moment,heres one of mine from the archives:)have a spiffy day,Kat
Through the lens I see perfection
Black and white frozen stillness
Everything becomes eternal
In my eyes..
And through my vision
True loves recognition,or a babys first breath
That can never fade away
Not even after death
Never again will a moment die
Never again a good bye
Nothing can fade away,or become a distant memory
Time is no longer the enemy
When things are captured forever
Holding our thoughts in an intricate web
Thats woven together
A tapestry of photographs a quilt of forever
Living breathing dreaming art
Frame by frame
Frozen still
A dream within a dream
My black and white world fullfilled
All is is frozen in perfection still
Captured in sweetest affection
According to an artists will
When through my camera lens
Your dreams are bathed in light again | |

Eyes to Love
23 July 2006
Inside those eyes
there was a heart
Her place of warmth so sweet
Inside her eyes was this love
that place where happiness did dwell
Her kind, her certainty, her passion
each line, every sentence of her heart
That focus between her lips
the smile upon her face
Inside those eyes was another world to discover
of a place where to sun and moon did meet
For there was no darkness, no battles void
inside her eyes, this place of love
A happy place to find and enhance
Just to surrender, and ponder in thought
her eyes, her happiness, her warmth so sweet
This place to know it was safe, safe at last
would it ever be, inside her eyes, a place to love
“Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty:
they shall behold the land that is very far off.”
Isaiah 33: 17 KJV

Posted: 7/22/2006 11:14:17 PM | Billowing curtains hold the southern summers at bay
Our thoughts slumber in shadows just beyond the realm of day
Are we meant to dream in this vivid and wanderlust way
My barefoot steps wander down these hallowed halls
I leave no footprints as my memory calls
You reach out to touch my face,as if its porcelain will break
But it seems for now only my childlike heart is at stake
On nights like this sometimes I wonder if angels will fall instead of stars
So peace can find its rightful place in this chaotic world of ours
But it seems they never do,so how did heaven come to rest inside of you
Im amazed sometimes at the brilliance I find when I explore the attic of your mind
Like long lost buried treasure ,these long awaited dreams I find
The deep and cavernous thoughts at the depths of azure youth
You understand the endless possibility and the faith thats found in truth
I wonder if Im meant to really love so unabashedly this way
So naked in the summer window of reality today | |

I watched the artists painting come to life over the years
Composed of indigo,the colour of his deepest fears
The crimson of excitement,of all thats yet to come
The emerald of enlightenment as morning light succumbs
To the blackness of nightfall and the coming of the stars
The purple melancholy of Venus,and the Mystery of Mars
Such magical enchanment from his pallette made
As stunning as a miracle upon canvas conveyed
All the beauty of one life unlocked within this artists hands
Captured in one timeless image of all one life can span | |

To Canaan with Love
23 July 2006
Would it happen
would God’s love shine down
This place of reality
and this love in her found
Could it be, or was this
too big of a request
This understanding
as if God does know best
A prayer to heaven
a prayer to see her face
A prayer of her beauty
and the sum upon her grace
Would it happen
could God in His love shine down
To look into her gentle eyes
and know this was love of her sound
“ARISE, shine; for thy light is come,
and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.”
Isaiah 60: 1 KJV

Posted: 7/23/2006 1:27:38 PM | Hey Kat...
Home again and glad to be in A/C...SO hot in the UK and NO air....
A solomn day and yet a celebration
Veterans of my homeland
Clad in blue blazers
Standing to attention
Medals glinting in the sun
Worn on chests now frail but still proud
Each of them saluting a comrade now gone
The standard....dressed with a black ribbon
The Union Jack draped over his coffin
The sound of an Italian tenor singing
Tears came unbidden
Memories in time frozen
And the wake.....
Was awesome
Speeches and stories and songs...
"What shall we do with the drunken sailor?"
Sung by non other than me and my sister!
He would have approved
Especially of the 50% proof rum!!!!!

| Yay for road trips:)
Posted: 7/23/2006 10:01:57 PM | The sun filtered down in cascading waterfalls
Slipping softly through the dense green forest
Upturned leaves caught a breath of Southern wind
And fluttered skyward like worshipping butterflies
As we shared a picnic in the grass,our laughter echoed in the meadow
The mountian road wound the hours away,beckoning us to stay
Its was such a lovely day to be at play with you this way
We filled your summer hat with blackberries to the brim
We didnt have a bowl so we just picked them on a whim
I loved to watch your golden curls sparkling in the sun
We put daisies behind our ears and ran barefoot just for fun
A lazy porch swing cat greeted us and we meandered on our way
We fed a bunch of cows a pile of road side hay
Ill always remember us laughing this way
We laid on top the car and your stuffed animals came too
Theres no place id rather be then right here with you
My lovely little daughter ,if you only knew
Memories like this well always cherish when the day begins anew
We may not have the luxuries that so many others do
Sometimes barely getting by,but we have enough for two
Ive always considered us so lucky its true
because of lazy hazy days like this I get to share with you | |

| Everyone else is sleeping,but here I am writing:)
Posted: 7/23/2006 10:26:14 PM | A poem for my honey:)I love you ...mwah!
The stars reflect upon the summers gone by
The clouds weep in raindrops as winged night birds fly
What a perfect place for the love of you and I
Can we stay here forever your skin is so warm
A soft whispered promise on your lips now takes form
I kiss your words and then,we drink eachother in again
Your heart mesmerizes and moves me like a sunrise
A tranquil reflection Waltzes in your eyes
Beyond mere melody,my love its rhapsody
In all of the languages lovers can say
We need no utterances so we silently stay
Just holding on this way,as night blends with the day
Your arms are like branches in a cradling tree
That made me feel safe as a child you see
The innocence in me,and here my heart is free
I cant help but rejoice in these feelings weve found
Like a bound ballerina finally coming unwound
In magical wonderous ways,with you my heart will always stay
We neednt promise forever ,for now time doesnt matter
Sometimes restrictions can cause love to shatter
When we speak them in a voice,we stay of given choice
Youre not only my lover but my dearest friend
We wont break eachothers hearts,because we know how to bend
Its such a perfect blend,as the year melts into summer again | |

Kisses for Some
24 July 2006
As the stars light the sky
and the moon takes a peak
There was our love
in wishes of desire to keep
Every night, those thoughts of you
my baby in the woods of collaboration
This place of a journey, a journey of hearts
each breath a new foundation to ponder
For where was hope, this charity of love
an amour in faith to future events
Holding hands and sharing kisses in the sun
the poet and his muse of debonair being
Eyes closed, impatient times ahead
for why was this so hard to openly endure
Her heart, her beauty of verdite to golden stone,
finding a rainbow, a place of hearts to shine
Was there a reason, and would there be time
“And Jacob kissed Rachel,
and lifted up his voice, and wept.”
Genesis 29: 11 KJV

| im back
Posted: 7/24/2006 3:17:29 AM | All I see is familiar places
Strange faces with worn down features
Peculiar creatures
Constantly going threw there morning rituals
Their tears falling into the grass
How long will their pain last
How can you look forward to tomorrow with such sorrow?
Never hang your head
Do you find it hard to tell me?
Do you think it is a little strange?
The one thing you love so much
Also fills you with so much rage
Line up with all the masses
No social classes
The perfect world
Feel like a child again
Sit and miss me
Do you feel happy?
Take it all in stride
Our worlds will collide
It will be an interesting ending
So as I sit here thinking
Me emotions never show
Is what I feel real?
Or just something to put on for show
Do you think it is funny?
Perhaps a little sad
I find it hard to tell you
Perhaps I never can
These feelings I have inside me
Are the best I ever had
Maybe that is just a little sad | |

| Glad youre back :D

| Everyone else is doin it....I want a thread too lol
Posted: 7/25/2006 3:40:30 PM | Some great writes on this thread. Very good indeed. Good job to all of you.
How can I say the words that need saying
When you won’t stop playing the games that you’re playing
Who can I turn to when you are gone
I don’t enjoy this feeling of being alone
Tenders words I spoke falling on deaf ears
Brave intentions where once there were fears
Still I don’t want you to leave, please do stay
Sit down and listen to the words that I say
I still love you now more than ever before
I forever wait for you to walk through the door
Hey baby, I’m home, a phrase that I long to hear
And a sweet smile as you hold me so near
Say something, please don’t stand there not talking
Turn back away from the door that you are walking
Please just have a rest, say what you’re thinking
Talk to my heart nonstop without ever blinking
I can not help but love you, I know I’ve tried
Even though it hurts and real tears I’ve cried
Say one more time, that you still love me
I need to hear it once more, even if dishonestly
Tell me once more before you walk out the door
That you really care even though it’ll be lies like before
I need to hear it really just one more time
And to feel your body once more closely hold mine
Then we can part and be on our ways
And live apart for the rest of our days | |

| In a corny mood
Posted: 7/25/2006 6:06:36 PM | A summer day,
A moonlit night,
A bottle of wine,
And you make it right,
I long for the day,
To feel your touch,
To kiss your cheek,
And bathe in your sight,
The day draws so near,
And so far away,
The love I dont know,
But wish for to stay,
Anticipation grows,
With each waking hour,
You've got me entrapped,
In your sensual power,
If this moment,
Can last a lifetime,
Then a lifetime with you,
Is a moment in my mind.
I had somewhat of a corny type of romantic feeling tonight. But I am more and more impressed by what I read here. It gives me so many ideas, so thank you all. Hugs, Kisses, and Butterfly Wishes.

Posted: 7/25/2006 8:12:24 PM | Funny how
An unexpected call
Sends you into a free fall
Funny how
The mind can fool you
Send you back to.....then
Funny how
After all this time
You called me and I knew
I was over you
Funny how
I didn't know that
'Till just now
BUH BYE | |

Adoration Unkempt
26 July 2006
To surrender and hold fast to her love
this weekly desire of a daily dream
Unable to walk upon water
yet faithful in ways kind
Such beauty her eyes do reign
the sweetness of a smile
Upon a heart all open to serine,
what has been, as if meaningless
until that of tomorrow’s dawn
Many years, a lifetime to endure
but of sadness in finding loves delight
Still those barriers do persist
and even faith cannot destroy them as yet
Such sorrow, and sable regret
for who made it this way
Just to surrender, arms held out
to gather in her kindness and reap no more
“. . . If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say
unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it
shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.”
Matthew 17: 20 KJV

Posted: 7/26/2006 1:53:06 PM | alis kat--Thank you for your kind words. I am glad that you enjoy reading what I write. And thanks for the welcome. "I'll be back" again to check the thread out. There are some really good writes posted here by truly talented people. Yeah, a few people suggested that posting a pic would make the words more personable and I saw the point of view. Now, if I can only keep my pic posted LOL.
Sit for a moment, tell me what is wrong
Listen to my poem, sing your heart a song
Words never soft enough, to tell you how I feel
This heart is ever growing, from the love inside that’s real
The deepness of the universe never could contain
All the caring inside of me, forever will it sustain
A touch upon your beautiful face I hope to reach your soul
And light inside a fire for you to burn wildly out of control
No need to extinguish the flames within, feel the burning in your heart
And know that I burn for you also, let’s let love do it’s part
Forever is not long enough that I will be true
For your’s is the truest love my heart has ever knew
Infinity is a word to use for my trust and faith in you
And your eyes speak so lovingly, as you love me through and through
Together we will walk this Earth, two hearts melted into one
And by your side I’ll forever reside, until our time on Earth is done | |

You know thats not a mirror
But my soul youre looking through
The only time Im this transparant
In the safety of you
The only reason being
is the fact that i trust you
So feel free
Look away
I mean look deeper
Dont turn away
Do you see it
At the bottom of the pool
No its not a mirror
But my soul your looking through
Do you see the promise
The one I made to you
To love and trust and honour
Even hard times well get through
Ive walked a million tightropes
Crawled on my knees through glass
Now Im reaching for the future
Not sinking in a painful past
Do you see it?Its my soul youre looking through
The pain has made me stronger
Do you like the view
It hasnt made me bitter
Thats not something Id hold onto
Its made my heart appreciate beauty
Even more when Im around you
Its made me love the simple things
Take a closer look it will astound you
Thats not a mirror
But my soul your looking through
Lying naked and exposed
As my sweet sweet love surrounds you | |

Posted: 7/26/2006 4:34:18 PM | Kat, I read a poem that you posted in another thread, and this is what I found myself writing as a result

When all Told
27 July 2006
To ignore her love
or just walk away
As if she is under my skin
so here within my heart to stay
Not lost, never without love
for eternity was a long time
But would it be, her place to own
an outlook on the horizon, in being fine
The text of a letter
her smiling face in a photograph
Those gentle words she does write
this conscience to withhold
A tale, a story, a lie
the truth only God made
To ignore such love
and this freedom when all told
“And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren,
and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold,
the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.”
Genesis 37: 9 KJV

Woman and Man
26 July 2006
Was there love in a message
the one with her name assigned
That beauty of her being
another day to dream
Would there be hope to ponder
or was this a lost dream held awake
Gone as to nativity, a future to enhance
would there ever be another, of times to dance
Holding her near enough to breathe
just to savour in her tranquil aroma
Wafting scent, a perfume of amour
some call it love, but only God can decide
Approaching heaven, to not be alone
truth or a further lie in distant count
Just to know, just to understand
for whom created woman and man
“And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man
should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.”
Genesis 2: 18 KJV

| Not I Who Cares
Posted: 7/26/2006 6:32:28 PM | In a world where people die,
People cry, people starve,
And people lie,
Who will turn their back today,
Not I who cares,
When your brother, sister,
Friend, or stranger,
Asks for help,
Who will turn their back today,
Not I who cares,
If you are down,
Needing someone,
To talk, to love,
Who will turn their back today,
Not I who cares.

| Paeon To The Sun
Posted: 7/26/2006 7:16:20 PM | Paeon To The Sun
Call me
Icarus.
His daddy warned him--
No doubt Daedelus was remembering someone
Like you,
So why did he give his boy
Those wings?--
But maybe Icky saw some fire still there
In Dear Old Dad's eye,
Maybe just a twinkle,
The memory of a star now far away
That he once knew.
And for a long time did I not worship at a distance,
Keeping my feet on the ground?
But your gravity was pulling at me,
Raising me ...
Mornings I would lay upon the lawn,
Your yellow corona spreading above me,
Lifting me like the dew.
And when the time came,
Did I not fly to you?
I flew.
I flew.
Your arms flared open and surrounded me
In a hot embrace that
Threatened to melt me down
To my essential
Desires.
But this was no warm welcome,
No, no, a hunger to devour and consume,
To flay me with your fire,
The liquid burn that pits my flesh,
The magnetic storm that chars my bones.
And even your hands have mouths,
And sometimes teeth ...
And I am sacrificed
To your voracious love,
Till there is only left
A scattering of ash
Cooling in your outer reaches.
But after an age I drift, I fall back
Into your hellish heaven
To burn in Paradise,
To be the fuel that feeds your heat, your heart,
And know all the smoldering naked secrets
Of fusion.
And as I rise again,
You call me ...
Call me
Phoenix,
Who knows now that the wait--
Was it only a thousand years?--
Was worth it.
You will never be just a twinkle in these eyes,
But the fire inside
Slaying me,
Animating me.
Nothing is ever lost,
Only changed, transformed,
The single point of fusion ...
The single tear of love. | |
