Heavenly Eyes
19 September 2007
Beauty was your soul,
so pure, so fresh.
To look in your eyes,
and feel the pain.
You thought you knew him,
and that was not true.
Yet he robbed you
of more than gold.
An innocence,
a freedom, where was that.
Your mind guided not
to try and remember.
That was yesterday,
a last breath to gasp.
He knew your name,
but did he know more.

For Jacinta
17 September 2007
My heart stands still,
to whisper your name.
For could it be true,
did I always love you.
Did I know of that truth,
a question and a voice inside.
Was there an answer,
or was that too much to ask.
Reaching out,
wanting something back.
Was time a reward,
or another quest in bliss.
To look at your eyes,
your lips, a painting of red.
In accepting my kiss,
now that my heart
beats once more.

the journey is still to begin”

Jacinta Cinders
15 September 2007
Red tipped fingernails
upon a piano key.
The destination of hope
in music to press.
Gentle fingers,
arresting each sound.
Contrast of every note,
her touch, her tenderness.
An umbrella of freedom,
shelter, serenity encased.
Beauty, the face,
the word the voice.
Tranquillity, floating waters,
mesmerized, certitude.
Her red tipped fingernails,
painted, the destination,
her own to achieve.
“for Jacinta”
“But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour:
yet what I shall choose I wot not.”

There is such a nectar sweetness
In finally letting go
With unbridled abandon
Letting the words just flow
There used to be a time
I was afraid to set it free
Until i finally realized
Why should I fear the depths of me
Standing in the mirror
I gazed in shadowed glass
Dusted off my thoughts
And let go of the past
I walked into the sunlight
And felt the gentle rays
Then bathed in brilliant colours
That washed the lingering pain away
Sadness doesnt live here
Though once my wings were torn
Theres no reason to feel sorry
And no reason to morn
When i recollect the ones Ive loved
I carry with me still
What more does my heart really need
To truly be fullfilled
I dont have all of the answers
Or lifes great mysterious key
Im never going to be perfect
And i dont try to be
Every day Im given
Ill give my soul the chance
To wander uncharted pathways
And dance this sweet lifes dance
Ive finally discovered
What pulses in the depths of me
To live life with simplicity
And help those that are in need

Walking in the garden
Moonflowers explode
and fragrance the night
Morning glorys
Trumpet vines
Capture the essence
Of another time
Someone elses footsteps
Once decorated this place
I close my eyes more tightly
Im blinded by her grace
She was the most beautiful
One Ive ever seen
Sometimes we hold hands
Embacing in a dream
Retracing footseps
To the secret corners
Of my mind
back to a time
When my mothers hand
Held mine | |

Posted: 9/29/2007 4:41:17 AM | As you said Kat -"Hiya Christopher:) Thank you so much for gracing this thread with your fantastic writes...wow!...just wow".
So it is about time I claim the throne I have held for so long and is appreciated fully elsewhere. And now you know what the "W" of my middle name stands for.

Judea's Star
25 September 2007
The star of Judea,
the price of passion.
A clash, often of war,
where freedom was love.
A charity of faith,
within tomorrows chastity.
Calling to arms, and
knowing fingers belong.
Gentle fingers,
kind hands lifting to strength.
Muscular loins, the call of the wild,
each sinew a passionate wave of romance.
The waters, no longer salty,
the calmness of being at peace.
The Star of Judea, all in harmony,
the birthplace and birthright of home.
"For all this I considered in my heart even
to declare all this, that the righteous, and
the wise, and their works, are in the hand
of God: no man knoweth either love or
hatred by all that is before them."
Ecclesiastes 9: 1 KJV

Sour Lemons and Gravy
04 September 2007
Beauty was in your eyes,
as if that was always said.
Like those pictures,
upon a page, read.
Not only to smile,
but to sing in a soul.
Solitude, celestial,
harmony, music
to the lips.
Sour lemons and gravy,
insulting gravity in flight.
Reaching to the heavens,
higher to the sky.
Pretty blue eyes,
the colour of a dress.
Smiling, neither shy,
happiness, why then to cry.
"for Barb Elyett"
"And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his
feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head,
and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment."

Corpuscles of Faith
04 September 2007
By Christ we walk,
by one man we serve.
Like church bells upon a shoulder,
the shadow of heaven our heart.
Blood, His blood to pool our veins,
Christ, sacrament, sacrifice, death.
Her mind endorsed, certitude,
righteous, an awakening.
Echoes, whispers, a name,
regret, far from the soul,
gathered in the wind.
Every breath,
corpuscles of faith.
Christ, His step to Jesus, prayer,
blessings of promise brought forth.
By one man we serve,
her service His in to rejoice.
"for Barb Elyett"
"For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say
unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou
cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart,
but shall believe that those things which he saith
shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith."

Barbs of Christ
08 September 2007
Come to me, cheer my soul,
hold my hand and dance.
The hand of Jesus,
His hand given to you.
Thorns and fragrant roses,
your heart and His in name.
The name of a Saviour,
Jesus Christ, His bud open wide.
Happiness on the simple side,
this wonderful side of His love.
A journey of salvation in song,
righteousness over grace to live.
The road home, a road,
singing with in a contrite heart.
Come to me, cheer my soul,
hold my hand and dance.
The hand of Jesus,
His hand given to you.

Lips of Partake
29 September 2007
Just to breathe,
and share a breath.
Two hands, two shoulders,
and breast upon breast.
The coupling of childhood,
all those years waiting to talk.
To hold your hand,
and wrap you inside.
An enhancement of beauty,
the battle of hope over pride.
In lifting the veil,
and discovering truth.
A freedom, not to despair,
the fruit, the apples and the orange.
The taste of lemons, neither bitter.
Your lips the flavour,
a life time to partake.

Eyes that are closed
Walking blindly
And without focus
A mind that is unknowing
What the future may bring
With no plans made at all
And sometimes while roaming in the darkness
One stumbles
And suddenly there is a light greater than the sun
And all that is left is to completely fall
And be guided by the heart | |

A Good Day
30 September 2007
In your heart was a good day,
my day with you at my side.
For beauty was more than you are,
beautiful was what no one had foretold.
The reality of truth,
once a mermaid in strength strong.
When anger and fate was a times,
a whimper of a whisper in song.
This compassion of unity,
holding you near as to flesh.
The pampering of each muscle,
building up blocks of unified reality.
Because you were,
every thing a good day could be.
Upon a division, not in a fighting mood,
to taste your lips, an enjoyment of good food.

Night of Never
11 October 2007
The dark night of my soul,
an emptiness from inside.
A place to walk in passion,
her kiss held softly from afar.
Like a nectar of kindness,
an uncertainly shelved.
Tranquillity, bliss, happiness,
was there ever a reality to ponder.
A ship capsized upon an ice blue sea,
the ocean barren and lifeless.
Yet I waltz to the light, a shimmer,
hope was around the corner of morrow
To know I want to change,
and realize in her this will be.
An impossible beginning,
or never land, her ocean by the sea.

PS~Have a safe trip JD I will see you soon.Yay!
Cradled in the arms of a song
Whose memory is long
Spanless and timeless
Like flipping the hour glass
And kicking up the sand
Walking barefoot in it hand in hand
Embracing simpler times
My heart reaches out to find
The essence of the undefined
My soul hums along
On a lazy afternoon
Drinking lemonade on worn porch swings
The sun will reach its pinnacle soon
Romancing the clouds
And dreaming aloud
Dressing the world in golden rays
As my heart sways
Along with the magnolia trees
Painting new memories
With a time worn brush
Im taking a moment today
To decorate my soul in blush
In the heat of the day
I have a tender crush
Upon the world
and all of the mysteries it holds
As sprays of tiger lillies
begin to unfold
The weather may be chilly
But my dreams are never cold
The days may still pass by
But my soul never grows old
Its childlike and free
held closely in the arms
Of this timeless melodic memory | |

Posted: 10/12/2007 11:13:30 AM | The sky weeps classical
Moonlight Sonata rains down
In radiant silver splashes
Tiny star daggers pierce the morning
But miss the eye of the center of everything
The universe dances unharmed
Shrouded in a veil of known mystery
And I sleep beneath the willow tree
With the eyes of my spirit wide open
Watching and learning
What I mightve missed
if my soul had been sleeping
As the song played on | |

Love you bunches and am so stoked, you know. Take care and have fun today. JD
As the clock is holding me hostage
And thoughts of you are on my mind
The seconds can not speed by fast enough
As my heart is filled with excitement
I miss you so much
And soon the sun shall shine .... even during the rain
Just to be at your side
Makes everything in life make sense
It is the feeling that resides in my heart
For it is you that lives here within it
Your smile lights up the darkness
And it is your love that my heart needs
And as the time dwindles down
And soon the voyage will begin
Patience extended will be worth the wait
Just to tell you that I love you
And to listen to your heart and soul
And to look into your eyes
Is to see the true beauty in life
For you are beautiful indeed | |

Chocolate Chip Poem
30 August 2007
Through the eyes of a chocolate chip,
a view of encrusted tender taste.
An aroma of flavour in elegance,
beauty surrounding the heart within.
The recipe of success,
the land of hope.
Through a love of enchantment,
romancing the texture of a tongue.
Home baked,
and fresh to the lips.
A morsel where
beauty and a smile do meet.
The smile of a chocolate chip,
anticipating your intense taste.
In feeling the romance of
a chip of chocolate upon
your heart.

Address to Beauty
10 October 2007
Your beauty was in my loins,
like a green pasture.
The hills and mountain tops,
the passion of kind.
A burning, an enlightening fire,
the richness of your charm.
The tip of your big toe,
a kiss on your moist lips.
Much unto an alarm bell ringing.
A vibrant sound, the clinging to death.
Away in a manger, holding you close,
unable to escape the prism of your body.
Magnetism to the poles apart,
a warmth in greeting each drop of blood.
Never to be silent, in taking each breath,
engulfed in a freedom, your beauty addressed.
“for Tammie”
“Elegance doesn't mean being noticed,
it means being remembered”

Im in a writing mood,so im just going to go with the flow and see what happens..So nice not to be pulling an all nighter at work  <me lol
The seasons pirrouette
In vibrant coloured dance
Passing one another like strangers
behind a mirrored glass of circumstance
reflections of sultry summers
And Autums filled with prismatic light
Springs renewal of sacred promise
And winters bejeweled in mystic white
The worlds changes bring me comfort
As i reminisce
A dreamer dancing onward
Whose soul is adorned
with loves sweet kiss | |
|
| Im feeling spiffy...I hope everyone else is too:)
Posted: 10/21/2007 10:04:07 PM | Belief in the beauty of another
Light bends and a friend becomes a lover
Like a flower blooming beaneath the snow
I shouldve picked and sheltered long ago
The pathways that Ive taken
Prosperity was sometimes found
My footsteps sheltered from the wind
As I walked with unbroken sound
The stars would pierce the darkness
In silver wounded smile
As my thoughts grazed upon the greenery
In a field of hopes a while | |
|
| Im feeling spiffy...I hope everyone else is too:)
Posted: 10/21/2007 10:09:58 PM | One more just because:)
A motionless carousel
Sits upon a hill
A car wth a destination
Yet cant seem to climb uphill
A ship destined for ports
In exotic far off places
A heart that breathes inhaling love
In quiet tender places
A train derailed from its tracks
A gift given
That somehow lacks
Andy sort of thought
For the person it was bought
A smile so fake it almost cracks
From the sincerity it lacks
A clock you can wind
But cant turn back
A summer sky
That fades to black
Have a super groovy night yall,Kat O:) | |

| Im feeling spiffy...I hope everyone else is too:)
Posted: 10/24/2007 10:45:46 PM | Ms Kat ---- Love you Sweetie. Dropped by to read your latest writes ... enjoyed them as always. Hugs and hopes that today has been a great one for you. Thoughts and best wishes for yall. Mwah. Take care. Love you .... JD
The clock has the same time as yesterday
Yet today is a brand new day
Through snow
And rain
And heat
And the changing of the leaves
The seasons have indeed changed
As has an evolving heart
And true the clock says the same time as yesterday and the day before
The clock is lying
For today a new season has began
As a heart beats with a new pulse | |

| Im feeling spiffy...I hope everyone else is too:)
Posted: 11/2/2007 5:46:36 PM | What hurts most is when the obligations of life keep me from this refuge and what salves that pain most is stealing time to come here and find the comfort of these word quilts.
