Posted: 11/5/2007 11:42:38 PM | Heya Dingedarmor~How are you my Spiffy friend?Thank you for the wonderful comment....So good to see you posting again.

A few quick new ones:)
In the presence of nightfall
My heart longs to set sail
On a vagabond journey
without fences or rails
My dreams do not fly upon paper wings
But float on the sweet mystery
as the mourning dove sings
make no mistake, my heart is not frail
I keep pressing onward
Even if it seems to no avail
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do you long to possess all you desire
Or set it all free just to see what transpires
Is your soul half asleep or is it awake
Do you live by the clock
Just for old times sake
Do you move with a gentleness
Upon paths seemingly untouched
Or embrace with passionate fire
The things you want much
What sets you in motion
In lifes sweetest dance
When others say its impossible
it doesnt mean you cant | |

Posted: 11/6/2007 5:14:16 AM | was that thunder that rattled my window , caused the shade to move, theres no wind
the fans will hum if you listen, first the one then the other joins in, it helps to center
as i become I, the light a rolling call to expand the direction,the volume of the inner voice, size of circle fixed like a shell but the links are more of one from the other an expansion without touch until the constant slight suggestion finds a home, and sleep reaches out
and the Chill Wind of Knowing finds me
Do the messages we leave ever make it all worthwhile.
Is choice just the killing field, of creation versus style?
I cannot ask the question without stopping first to see
the direction of my doing not the will of destiny.
i may not have the reason for the cruelty of cause.
At birth, death is the ending, our lives a poignant pause.
A butterfly becoming finds no resonance in me
if i cannot take the larger look and set my spirit free.
The buzz of morning ..Eyes are caked with nights baking ,
the sun says hello | |

Posted: 11/7/2007 5:51:32 PM | Above is the first draft of what became the poem below. And the word "Boise" is not only the state capital of Idaho, but also the French word for 'wood' or 'woods'. When the foundation of this completed works was inspiried by reading the poem of a friend. In each step being one to the next.
CWH
Like a dark sky, the heart does blend.
Would history prove it wrong,
as music plays in a wafting silence.
Structured beyond myth and legend.
A man and a woman, like dark trees in a breeze,
their childhood, two different paths.
Then came a division, like branches,
this bracing of departure to relate.
Different colours weathered on their own,
a novelty of nationality in denial.
The dream, the chant of Idaho,
a statement in mind, would reason know.
The timber carved and moulded,
a heart developed in carved walnut.
Every grain like sand, battered on an ocean current,
would childhood know the answer, and
was there a day their hands would finally touch.

Heart of Boise
05 November 2007
Like a dark sky, the heart does blend.
Would history prove it wrong,
as music plays in a wafting silence.
Structured beyond myth and legend.
A man and a woman, like dark trees
ambling upon a breeze.
Their childhood, two different paths,
a division, like branches, braced
of departure indifferent in faith to relate.
Different colours weathered on their own,
a novelty of nationality in denial.
The dream, the chant of Idaho,
a statement in mind, could
reason in reality know.
The timber carved and moulded,
a heart developed in deep rich walnut.
Every grain like sand, battered on an ocean current,
where childhood knew the answer, but
was there a day their hands would finally touch.

Posted: 12/5/2007 12:35:04 AM | Hiya gents:) Transcend and TheWowpoet~I absolutely loved reading the latest writes you both posted .Thank you so much for gracing the pages of my lil corner o the forums with your amazing verses.You are both truly talented....awesome stuff guys I havent written in so long,I thought Id pop in here and give it a spontaneous go...Hope all is spiffy with everyone:)Thanks again for the visits,Kat 
I want to meet you kindred one
Where the wild elms sway
Whispering earthbound secrets
As the wind wraps them in sunspray
The leaves billow like curtains
or a lovers hair in disarray
As swans entwine their ballet necks
In an elegant display
Perched high upon horizon
Our souls will minuette
As we kiss the parting clouds
Our hearts wont soon forget
What its like to bask a moment
In total nothingness
And find in its mirrored simplicity
Nothing but sweet bliss | |
|
| Im feeling spiffy...I hope everyone else is too:)
Posted: 12/5/2007 12:55:41 AM | The years they wrap around me
Like an unfinished childhood quilt
I remininisce in memory halls
Of the Mother daughter life we wouldve built
I wonder what it feels like
To decorate a first house
or go shopping at the mall
with you to buy a business blouse
So grown up on the outside
yet missing you so much
Even as a woman
I crave my mothers touch
her softness when the day is long
her strength when i feel weak
Sometimes it just isnt the same
When I still need to speak
To you and only you
And ask what do I do
Which way do I turn
Sometimes my memory burns
Like a childhood skinned knee
Im haunted by your memory
I miss the way your laughter
Was filled with melodic beauty
And the way you loved so easily
Not like it was a duty
And now I pass along
Every wisdom gift
To my precious daughter
And my heart it seems to lift
With grace and tender love
I truly do transcend
And my world is enshrouded
By a peaceful stillness yet again | |
|
| Im feeling spiffy...I hope everyone else is too:)
Posted: 12/6/2007 9:34:40 PM | Kat, You certainly do have a way with words, and a truly spiffy way at that
As for me, the unusual element of this latest for my love, was that it was the Bible quote that was the inspiration for the poem.
“In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the children of
Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going
and weeping: they shall go, and seek the LORD their God.”
Jeremiah 50: 4 KJV
6813
Child of Judah
06 December 2007
Child of Judah,
beauty of your love.
The faith to hold your hand,
a soft tender touch of skin.
Tranquillity, peace, deliverance,
away from mercy and sin.
A candle, a flame, evermore,
two souls enlightened and joined as one.
Your child, His child of the Lord,
symmetry, a mirror of hearts to age.
Summer days, nights of winter frost,
like warmth melded, liquid silver in love.
Admiration, care and kindness,
birth, bliss and menstruation.
For God created the child,
the mother and seed.
“In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the children of
Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going
and weeping: they shall go, and seek the LORD their God.”
Jeremiah 50: 4 KJV

Posted: 12/7/2007 1:05:38 AM | My daughter reaches for my hand
An expectant look in her eyes
She cannot wait another moment
To show me my suprise
A paper towel roll
becomes a proud snowman
When adorned with cotton balls
So tall and straight it stands
Nothing can compare
To these amazing gifts
Except the look upon her face
As we share a moment like this
her eyes are full of wonder
brighter than the Christmas tree
I wonder if she truly knows
The precious gift shes given me | |

Posted: 12/7/2007 1:53:44 AM | If there was no heaven
If there were no heaven, there'd be no angels singing
No hope that a better place for us exists
No dew drops or rainbows to greet the morning
and no one to dream of that first kiss
If there were no heaven, there'd be nothing to believe in
No birds singing their heavenly praise
No dreams to give us the strength to live
No one to believe in faith
If there were no heaven, there'd be no stars at night
No sun set and no sun rise
Nothing for anyone to believe in at all
We'd miss the sound of a babies first cry
If there were no heaven, there'd be no God
Without God there would be no love to carry us through
Without love there would be no existence
Without existence there would be no you
So for all that I believe in
Heaven is the one most pure and true
It gives me the strength to hold on to faith
And faith is what got me to you.

Posted: 12/7/2007 2:19:57 AM | My best friend...
What I miss the most is telling you I love you
Just to hear you say you love me back
Or watching your favorite TV shows
Just to have you rub my back
I miss the way you made me smile
How you were there to wipe my tears
I miss the way you use to braid my hair
Just to show me that you cared
I miss the way I use to greet the morning
With your tender kiss upon my cheek
And how you use to pinch my toes
If I happened to fall back to sleep
I miss you telling people I was your baby
Even when I had grown up with a child of my own
I miss being able to hug you
When I was feeling all alone
There's so much more I would have done
If I had known how quickly you'd be heaven sent
I miss so much more than the little things
Most of all mom I miss my best friend

Posted: 12/7/2007 2:31:57 AM | A word of thanks ....Nov 11
For those soldiers that we loved and lost
Today we stand and give our thanks
Placing wreaths of red poppies
Upon their resting place
Some we will never know
But in our hearts will we never forget
They died for the love of our country
Not once having a second thought or regret
Through the gunfire and the violence
They stood brave with their heads held high
Knowing that for our freedom Most of them had to die
Some soldiers lived to tell the tale
Broken down from the fall
But will reign up with the strength to defeat
If their duties should come to call
to our hero's who have risk their lives
So that I could live being free
I thank you for all you have done
And pray that angels always gather at your feet

Posted: 12/9/2007 4:40:50 PM | Hiya and happy weekend yall:)Its so nice to finally have some chillaxin time ForbiddenDesire~Welcome to the poetry forums,and also to my lil corner of them.I was so moved by your writes and the sentiment behind your words.The poem you wrote for you mother is such a beautiful testament to a Mother and daughters love,and the bond that is shared between them.There isnt a day that goes by that I dont miss my Mother, and all of the simple and wonderful ,special little moments we shared.I pass that love along to my daughter everyday,so in a way the love that is shared between a parent and child is passed on, and lives on forever throughout generations to come.I take great comfort in that and hope others will find solace in it too.Have a Happy Holiday,and feel free to visit again soon.Thanks again for the visit,Kat
spontaneous as usual:)
A pebble falls silently upon placid waters
Rippling for effect
Footsteps in the snow
Show the places we have yet to go
Frozen photographic images of where weve been
Do you trod upon the lace trimmed edges
Or balance where the ice is thin
Is your life a highwire act
Performed beneath the golden light
Or do you wait for darkness
And waltz until the twighlight
Leaving footprints luminously glowing
In A radiant December sky
Faint traces of where youve been
Is your memory a lullabye
As the universe is spinning
Is there an end to the begin
So many unanswered questions
As on and on we spin
Carousel riders on splendid horses
Moving so fast we forget
Which way North is
We chart and plan our courses
And neglect important things
Like what gives our souls wings
What makes our inner pheonix fly
Just beyond the darkness
Of the radiant December moonlight sky | |

Posted: 12/9/2007 4:52:59 PM | I want to touch you beyond your fence gate
Where your soul is in bloom
Bask in the glow of your heart
On a lazy porch swing afternoon
Ask you thought provoking questions
Most are too timid to ask
Kiss you like this forever
So our first kiss will be our last
Entwine poetic verses
In a lovers patchwork quilt
Our words will be the woven thread
of the hisoty weve built
So strong is the foundation
A mortar made of love
And though youths paint may wear with age
In one another well see only youthfulness and love

Posted: 12/9/2007 4:59:04 PM | An older one o mine that kinda fits the flow..have a groovy night,Kat
Faith wears the face of a child
How long has it been since your longing heart smiled
I know its probably been awhile since you embraced
The dance and the wonder in this life we call ours
Like a waltz across the universe of twinking stars
How long has it been since youve wondered at all
Of the dreams that could be when youre unafraid of a fall
My curtains they flutter like butterly wings
As I ponder the the calling of destiny things
Like a carousel as I child where I waited in line
As the music began I was freed up inside
Brilliant emeralds and rubies decorated the course
As I held onto the mane with a childlike force
I realize our strength comes from somewhere inside
And freedoms sweet kiss in my heart would from then on abide | |

Posted: 12/9/2007 6:44:01 PM | Thank Spiffykat........ my mom was and still is my best friend , even though its been 4 years since she passed away. I still feel like a little girl sometimes thats been abandoned expecially around this time of year. My writing always helps express the way i feel . I know nothing can bring her back , but sometimes words can be comforting. Like you I pass the love my mom gave me onto my son. He is 13 now and still tells me about 30 times a day that he loves me , followed by a hug and a kiss. Something I will always be grateful for. Thank you for inviting me into your forum. I will be honored to add more here. I would also like to wish everyone a happy holiday.
Where Angels fly....
Never thought the day would come
Where as my whole world would come undone
Never imagined being here without you
That I'd wake and you'd be no where around
As a child I thought a Mother was forever
That nothing could tear apart the two
But I came to realize how wrong I was
On the day that I lost you
From heavens gate the sky opened up
And angels swept down as the clouds did part
As an silence filled the air that day
An emptiness filled my heart
For the one person I was sure of in my life
Was taken without a reason why
Now I sit here after a year has passed
Still wiping away the tears as I cry
Today though as I write this
I'm reassured as time goes by
That your happy up there in heaven
Where I know angels fly

Mirrored Rhyme
12 December 2007
Once upon a rhyme,
there was a photograph on the wall.
A picture of my eyes and face to see,
a mirror image, not to imagine.
Then the light of the lantern did change,
where you were to view your own face.
Your beauty in full adoration,
an emotion, ever present.
The glass tinted and secrets darkened,
not to hide, but to gather again in grace.
No longer one personality with a single shadow,
as two souls began to merge in event.
Once upon a rhyme,
you did not know my name.
Then the light of the lantern did change,
the glass still tinted, our beauty full in adoration.

Twilight Purity
05 December 2007
The beat of my heart,
the shine within my soul.
Where the sky and your
adorable eyes do meet.
This foundation upon your breast,
a reincarnation of beauty each day.
A gathering of twilight,
stars in your eyes and
lips to kiss sweet.
Reaching out,
feeling everything within.
Tender touch, tender warmth,
holding you near to the skin.
Flesh upon flesh,
soul upon soul.
The seed to rejoice,
your treasure, those
eyes so true.
“He is ever merciful, and lendeth;
and his seed is blessed.”
Psalms 27: 36 KJV

Contracting Tomorrow
23 December 2007
She found the beauty,
she found the love.
A lamp light of hope,
enflamed from a distance.
The candle alone and burning,
her eyes and body strong in strength.
While with the man she did love,
they were stretched apart at arms length.
Where was time, or was time in zone,
the two lovers and her man.
Would he ever touch her skin,
and finally know to understand.
For once upon an enchantment,
there was trust in honour to respect.
As to herself, tomorrow only knew,
this day of today, fingertips and hearts,
enlightened, two by two.

Posted: 12/29/2007 7:15:46 PM | Ms Spiffy ..... Hey Sweetheart. I hope that all is well. I just had to drop by to say that you are an amazing and enchanting lady and that I love you beyond that which words could ever say. Not only are you the love of a lifetime but you are my very best friend. My thoughts are with you and always I miss you. Love you Starlight.   JD
Behind his eyes are dreams of her
As she is his beacon in the darkness
During the stormy seas of life
Her heart brought calm into the chaos
At the pinnacle of the blackness in the midnight sky
The sun miraculously appeared
At the exact moment that the two became friends
Now life's sky is always azure
As she loves him
He loves her with the same intensity
The same passion
The sparkle in his eyes is due her love
The extra-wide smile is due her kindness
And all the love in his heart is due to the love in hers
When the words I love you are not nearly enough
When bodies embracing could never bring enough closeness
When words and actions can never speak the truth about love
What more can be said
Except I love you beyond time and space
I love you beyond expressions and gestures
I love you beyond words
Close your eyes and imagine
Feel the softness of my hand as I gently touch your face
See the gleam in my eyes
Feel the tenderness and passion in my kiss
That, my love, is how much I love you | |

Posted: 1/2/2008 2:58:31 AM | celestialheart> thanks for the kind words. Whoever said time eases all pain , didn't know what its like to loose a mother who was also your best friend. some days are better than most. I am 34 now and there are still days where I still feel like that little girl who was abondoned. My mom took her last breathe as i held her in my arms , i still wake nights reliving that. I know and understand that she is in a better place, sometimes though knowing that doesn't ease the pain, thats why i write. I also have the love of a beautiful son to carry me through.
btw , beautiful words in your poem ...i really liked it
I thought by now the hurting would have eased
The emptiness in my heart would have gone
Figured four years would have eased the pain
But today I realized that I was wrong
I awoke this morning to a brand new day
But memories kept flooding back of you
Of the day you were taken away
And the heartache came flowing through
I found myself recalling each moment
That lead up to the time you passed on
With each memory that was renewed
I found with you I so desperately wanted to belong
I need to hear you say you love me
Feel the warmth of your arms as you hold me close
Turn time back so everything will be the same
Mom, losing you created a pain no one could ever know
It’s been four years since God took you away
Left me in this world all alone
And even though I know I am asking for a miracle
I need God to know its time to send you home
You’re still needed here in this game of life
I need your guidance to help me get through
For here without you, I feel so lost
Like a little girl that doesn't know what to do
If in heaven, however you wish to stay
Mom I will truly understand
I just need you to know my love for you
Goes deeper than anything they could offer in the Promised Land | |

I think I will make the fifty mine
Will I post before you do
my words come out before yours spew?
I'm thinking how much time to take
to quickly write without mistake
to post here and make two fifty me
if I'm too slow two fifty three
so I take as much time as I need
I dont rush in a muddle for I am strong enough to bleed.
Thwackitty thwack spankys back
