Searching for her womanhood,
but still, she's just a child.
so young but fast, she's growing;
like weeds, that girl, gone wild!
Struggling through her youth,
she still is so unsure.
Searching with all her heart
for the man who has her cure.
I love to watch her growing,
to the woman that she'll become;
to the beauty of her maturity,
to a grace known only by some.
She is so young and like a child;
what else could I surmise?
But then one day, I looked at her;
could you imagine my surprise?
I saw the truth, a glimpse of heaven,
a look she couldn't disguise;
I saw the beauty of a woman's fire
burning deep within her eyes.
Now, I have seen the future;
she's a caring and loving soul.
I pray she grows to fulfillment;
Love's perfection as her goal.
On e more thing I'll have her know,
something I'll never regret;
the day I saw her burning eyes,
is something I'll never forget! | |

Posted: 7/7/2011 4:53:27 PM | Best Friend
I've flown to heaven and fallen to hell
and everywhere else in between.
when we first met, I fell deep for you;
my love couldn't be much more keen!
Right from the start, you enlivened my heart
and gave me the reasons to live.
I just want to know - if it comes from my heart,
what will you take that I'll give?
I've given you things, but you wouldn't take wings
of the spirit of love that you gave me.
Will you ever believe I couldn't deceive
the love you are really could save me?
I wouldn't possess, hold down or own
a love such as yours can't be held down by stone.
I hope the day comes, you'll make to me known
to the knowledge of love is the place you have grown.
I hope down life's road, we might meet again;
that we'll smile and then laugh of how we were then.
As I was in the past, I'm now and again -
forever in proving,
that I'm your best friend. | |

Can I tell you of how I feel
when I see you on any blessed day?
Will you believe what I feel is for real?
Will you believe in what ever I say?
Every time I see you, I fall in love again .
I want to do it right for you
by earning your love as a friend.
Any time that I'm close to you,
the longer I wish I could stay.
Our time is always too short together;
I dread when I must go away!
Do you think that someone who writes this way
doesn't have it burned into his heart?
do you think that I could write this for you
and haven't loved you right from the start?
When I write of a love, sweetheart,
it's of a love honest and pure.
When I gaze with Love's eyes at you,
I look to your heart to be sure.
it's just when I look at your face, dearest,
I feel I've found my love's lost friend;
someone I've searched for all of my life -
has my search for love come to an end?
I hope, love , you'll let me into your life;
I hope Love will help us to win.
I'm hoping the love, that we both have dreamed of,
will , at last, have a chance to begin. | |

Posted: 7/7/2011 5:47:23 PM | Love - Then and Now
Will we go on playing those same old silly games
like we played when we were so young?
Shall again we make those same youthful mistakes,
like when lies eased off of our tongues?
Can we still so carelessly break friends and lovers hearts
like we did when we didn't know better?
Could we still so recklessly tear loving souls apart,
writing them those 'good-bye' letters?
Now, when we smile into each others eyes,
We're walking in through a loving door.
We've grown soft to older truth, instead of hard, young lies;
to caress and not hurt love, anymore.
It's great that we're in love as mature adults now,
not children playing vicious head games.
We've grown up to give and to keep our vows
and not calling each other bad names.
Don't worry, my love; we're smarter than that.
We're clear of that folly today!
We're floating on the much-higher cloud of love,
and those youthful mistakes fade away.
Being older and wiser, we ask ourselves -
about the hearts that we left in the dust.
Growing softer and kinder, we wonder how many
hearts made of steel turned to rust.
We've grown up to realize, if you want to be happy,
you give each other all of your trust.
we've flowered to know, to receive all the love,
the giving of love is a must! | |

Posted: 7/7/2011 5:58:17 PM | Girl, there is One Thing
Girl, there is on thing I want you to know:
the seeds of my caring in your heart I will sow.
And when we speak on affairs of your heart,
let none who don't love you try to tear it apart.
And of your great tenderness, of which I'm so fond;
let none with their hurtings, lay callouses upon.
I envy your love - your giving and sharing;
your sweetness has drawn me and made my love daring.
I hope as I melt in the rays of your glory,
that, someday, I may be a small part of your story. | |

Posted: 7/7/2011 6:20:10 PM | Clean Earth and Soul
Crystal clear water,
clean fresh air.
White clouds and blue skies,
weather that's always fair.
Natural rich soil,
pure wholesome dirt;
nowhere is spilled oil,
unblemished Mother Earth.
No poison anywhere,
no where to be found;
not in the heart,
not in the mind,
the air, the water or ground.
As bad as things are,
man still has a chance
to clean up the world's sorry state.
But as for our insides -
our hearts and our minds,
Who'll clean up the our anger and hate?
When the Lord comes,
He'll clean Earth and soul;
He promised He won't come too late.
He'll clean up the outside
as well as our insides - to perfection;
now, won't that be great? | |

I don't want you!
I don't need you!
I don't care about you!
I don't care what happens to you!
I don't care if you're happy or not!
I don't care if you're sad and alone!

I don't care what you think about me!
I don't care if you hate me!
I don't care if you live or die!
I don't care if you go to hell!
I'll go on without you!
My life's not in pieces!
My heart's not broken!
I won't die without you!
I'm resolute!
I'm strong!
I don't love you, anymore!

Posted: 7/7/2011 7:10:20 PM | Love Ascending ( buckle up, gang )
Spinning and swirling.
'round and around.
Twisting and twirling ,
so dizzily down!
Pouring and falling
to someplace below;
I never knew down
was ever so low!
Grasping at edges,
just trying to hold on;
I feel like I'm slipping ,
so alone when you're gone.
Don't stay away;
at least, not forever.
Eternity without you,
my heart won't endeavor.
Whether I'm awake
or if I'm asleep,
I never before dreamed
love could be so deep!
Tears blur my eyes
as I slide through this haze;
for a chance, I still struggle
at you, love, to gaze.
When my eyes close,
I can still see your face;
in my mind, your warm glow
lights up this low place.
How well you take wings -
in my dreams, like a dove.
You hover so gently -
near heaven, high above.
My heart is melting!
It's changing and growing.
See what you've done;
through Love I'm now flowing!
You've sweetened my conscience
with the beauty of truth!
And gave me Love's Life
that I'll live out as proof.
I live in your reflection -
I quietly hold back
all the love and emotions I feel.
I wish I could thank you
for what you give me;
for the wounds in my heart
that you heal.
I'm never so alive,
standing in the sun
as lying in the shadow of your love.
I know now because
you've awakened my soul ,
from this low place,
I will get above! | |

We're either perfect, precious gems,
or we're course, common stones - no in betweens!
We're either beautiful flowers,
or we're ugly weeds - no in betweens!
We're either as smooth as silk,
or as rough as sandpaper - no in betweens!
We're either as sweet as honey,
or we're as bitter as salt!
We either give it all away,
or we try to steal it all!
We're either here and now,
or we're nowhere and never!
We're either completely alive,
or we're absolutely dead - no in betweens!
We're either as bright as the sun,
or we're as dark as blackest night!
We either grasp enlightenment,
or we grovel in ignorance!
We're either as right as right can be,
or we're totally and completely wrong!
We're either living for love,
or we're living dead through hate - no in betweens!
We either succeed gloriously,
or we fail miserably!
We either wear angel's halos,
or we wear devil's horns!
We're either food for the Holy Feast,
or we're ashes under righteous feet!
We either rise to a limitless heaven,
or we fall into the Eternal Fire!
We're either a family standing as one,
or scattered individuals - amounting to none!
Have you been listening?
Do you know what this means?
It comes to one thing - no in betweens! | |

Posted: 7/7/2011 8:58:27 PM | when I was writing my poetry, all the women in my life ( wife, daughter, their friends)
thought some unknown woman was inspiring my work (not true) - so, to have a little fun,
I wrote a poem about a blonde, blue-eyed girl (that never existed).
Here's how it came out -
Colors of You
The early young sun
with amber light rays,
betray where our bodies
last night entwined lay.
Bright morning light streaks
through your hair with the dawn;
close matching it's beauty,
gold shimmering with blonde* ( * a - HA! they said - BLONDE!)
Your sweet eyes reflect
the light of dawn skies.
In vain, dawn tries matching
heaven's blue* in your eyes. ( * a - HA! they said - BLUE! )
I try as vainly
kissing hues of the sky,
when my lips touch the edges
of the blue* in your eyes. ( * a - HA! they said - BLUE, again! )
The sun has now risen
to it's apex on high;
it illuminates your beauty;
face, shoulder and thigh.
Orange, white and yellows
light up your smooth skin.
A noon kiss I will give you,
where should I begin? * ( Oooo! so Racy, they said! )
The setting sun is glowing -
it's rays of crimson threads.
But they can't match the glory
of your lips impassioned reds.
In the rainbow of the daylight,
I love you - I really do!
but the light of the evening moon
I love most on you.
From evening until morning,
dusk until dawn's dew;
'till sunrise is aborning,
I'll spend entwined with you! | |

Posted: 7/8/2011 6:36:26 AM | Two Lessons of Love and Death ( deep time, fishes )
How, at once, so strange yet wonderful!
How depressing, and then, so enlightening!
The range and power that Love has,
it's glory can be so frightening.
I once pulled an old man's face
to air and life out of a gutter.
Words wiser than from prophet's mouths
his dying lips did utter.
It seemed he was successful once;
with his wife, all he touched turned to gold.
But she died, young and quick, in her brilliance;
their future in life's pages went untold.
He had all the power the world had to give ,
but death's stealing of her
killed his reason to live.
He had no one to share, live or to cry for;
just himself and her memory,
he felt he must die for.
So deep into Love death's cruel knife can cut,
when a man lets his life fade away.
But this lesson of Love's depth, burned into my heart,
was but first I would learn on this day!
I came to a park, where, on a bench sat alone,
a woman bent and silent - who appeared made of stone.
In silence, I approached where her broken heart laid;
words stuck in my throat - their speaking I stayed.
She knew who I was, when she looked in my eyes;
the place that love looks for,
when a broken heart cries.
She spoke of her family;
her child and her life.
But not of her man;
to him, just a wife.
Misery and sorrow for her 'till a child
gave her love again reason
to breathe and grow wild.
Then sickness of lungs stole the child's breath -
both Love and the infant
were stricken with death.
Now she is much happier,
on that cold bench all alone;
than with the dead child's father
and his crude heart made of stone.
These are only two of lessons I've learned of Life;
how high from heaven, they've fallen ;
from Love's Joy to death's strife!
I'll go on forever deeper ,
to know deepest love , my mission.
If you would know what I have learned,
just open your heart - - - - - - and listen! | |

Posted: 7/8/2011 9:25:41 AM | Every time I've ever seen you, I've had those same feelings;
that warmth, that tingling sensation of mutual admiration I love.
I hadn't seen you in such a long time, and then, there you were again -
grown more wise and beautiful - and maybe more heart-worn as well.
It was only a casual, impersonal meeting - but when I turned to leave,
I swear I could feel your eyes on me as I walked away;
not just looking, but burning right through me.
I could feel an admiration from you; a love radiating from your heart, your eyes,
that melted me as I poured out of that door.
That look from those eyes brought me back to you that day.
I had to let you know, in some small way, some of the things going on
inside of my heart, my love, my life.
I wanted to give you something of myself that would last forever;
something that no one has ever given you - or ever could;
something to deepen your life and give a new meaning to the word 'Love' for you.
I can see a beauty in you that others are incapable of seeing;
a love in you so wonderful - - - - - -
Oh, I just can't hold my words back, so I'll tell you -
I love you more for yourself than I do myself;
that to make you happy, in any way, would be a blessing to my life.
Let's trust and lose ourselves in each others hearts.
I know, in my heart, we would be so good for each other.
Somehow, I know we can give each other
what we truly yearn for and need from love;
something we've searched for all of our lives, but could never find -
something more than temporary, something enduring, eternal, growing.
Something that, maybe,
you didn't realize you were looking for - or even gave up on!
How can I try to write such things in words
when I'm dying to tell you with my eyes into yours, face to face,
truth to truth, heart to heart, love to beautiful love.
Please endure with me awhile - I know that you're strong enough;
I've seen it in you.
We both have been hurt before -
We both have been searching for a miracle.
Let's heal each others lives through love.
We both have been searching, with our souls,
for a love that when our eyes meet, the world fades away -
and nothing and no one in it could tear us apart!
I see a love in you so deep, so caring, so beautiful,
that I know you're the one I need to live.
I hope you can see a little of how I feel about you.
I know you feel something like this, too - I've felt it.
I would love to hear you say whatever you feel.
Please tell me, dearest -
I'll let you do all the talking.
I feel so good just being together.
I swear I adore you! | |

Posted: 7/8/2011 10:25:06 AM | I once asked myself,
"What is the most beautiful sound I've ever heard?"
I thought about it - the birds singing, the wind singing through the pines,
a sweet-singing violin, all those love songs - but no, none of these.
The most beautiful sound I've ever heard
is the voice of a woman singing or speaking in soft words of love.
And I once asked myself,
" What is the most beautiful feeling I've ever felt?"
I thought about it - and thought about it;
my first kiss, my first total freedom, the loves of my life, the births of my children,
the re-uniting of old friends, the coming of age of knowledge and fulfillment -
yes, all of these.
But the most beautiful feeling I've ever felt
was the touch of a woman's love reaching out to me.
And I once asked myself,
"What is the most beautiful sight I've ever seen?"
I thought about it - and thought about it;
the beautiful sights my eyes had seen.
All the mountains and valleys, the trees and their leaves,
the flowers and their blossoms, the flowing streams and rivers,
the serene and tranquil lakes, the birds and animals - the natural world.
But no - none of these.
Human beings are the most beautiful creations in the universe,
because we were formed by the Creator of all things - in His Image.
But to me, of all the beautiful sights in this world,
nothing compares to looking into the eyes of a woman in love -
especially if those eyes are in love with me.
All these things are the most beautiful -
but the most beautiful thing everywhere - is Love! | |

Posted: 7/8/2011 11:24:43 AM | Dearest ( none in your place )
Of all the beauty my eyes have seen,
of eyes, bodies and face;
there is none who will ever
compare to you,
none who will stand in your place.
Of all of the tenderness I've ever felt,
of the joyful great wonders of Love;
there never will be
any other for me -
no angel who could fly above.
No matter how loving
or gifted in grace,
they won't erase my memories
of your soft, warm embrace.
From the beginning, on our path of life,
you were always so loving and kind.
I'll keep this forever, what you've given me;
in my heart , in my soul and my mind.
How much you love children,
be they ours or another.
No woman more rightfully
could call herself 'Mother'.
Your patience and glory,
forgiveness and kindness,
your presence defines the word ' Friend'.
Your balance of beauty and spiritual perfection,
this world may well not see again.
I adore your smile and wonderful laughter;
I'm so alive when we're together.
As long as I breathe, your always with me,
'till eternally, we're rejoined forever.
The years will pass by - the centuries, they'll go;
for millenniums, we may be apart.
No matter what love, if any I'll know,
you're forever the core of my heart!
Of all the people on Earth who've trodden,
I promise you, dearest, you won't be forgotten.
As long as I write, for as long as I live ,
your spirit in words
to the world I will give.
From time in beginning
'till time at it's end;
in the history of the whole human race;
there never will be
another dearest to me -
none who will stand in your place. | |

Posted: 7/8/2011 3:38:59 PM | Mt Heart Has A Mind Of It's Own
My heart, all it's life, had to roam;
traveling in places unknown.
Knew not what to do,
'till discovering you;
now your heart is where mine will call home.
My heart will call yours his best friend.
He'll love you forever, 'till the end.
Your heart's seeds have sown
love into my own;
he'll be with you 'round all life's bends.
Before you, my heart's days were nights;
it never had seen Love's bright lights.
Now, our hearts melt together
in Love's Fire forever;
our ashes will fly to new heights.
Your heart's love pierced mine, like a knife.
I'd love vows from you, like a wife.
But if you don't want to,
there's nothing I can do;
I'll have to go on with my life.
For you, my heart's loyal and kind.
The best in this world you could find.
But if you betrayed
my love, at your feet laid,
my heart and I'd leave you behind.
Before you, my heart only moaned;
on the wings of true love hadn't flown.
But another than we two,
I'd go on without you -
you see,
my heart has a mind of it's own. | |

Posted: 7/8/2011 4:40:11 PM | B Love 2
I'm always making more out of things than they actually are;
always visualizing, always magnifying, always hoping for something better.
Always praying a situation turns out the best for all concerned.
hoping for the positive and working against the negative;
forever dreaming Love!
I'm always hoping to be seen through the eyes of understanding and acceptance,
of trust and faith, of hope and friendship, and Love.
Needing all to understand that Love is something you always give and never take.
That the true heart of Love
is always caring, always concerned, always growing, always loving.
I am but a cup you may always drink from.
Take all that you need, I am for you!
My blood was meant to be shed for you;
to live and die for you.
Can you feel me now?
Do you understand?
I wait for you to know, to realize, to touch,
to acknowledge all things in your soul worth living for;
the kindness, the tenderness, the compassion,
the joy - and sorrow, the graciousness, the patience,
the perseverance, the Love - always the Love.
I want you to be it, to live it, to love it,
and if necessary, to die for it;
life lived at it's highest level.
That's what life is all about.
Not what you get out of it, but what you give to it;
making someone happy any way you decently can.
Giving everything and taking nothing for yourself;
having faith that living this way,
Love will find you - be given to you as you have given.
Then you'll find true joy, true happiness, true Love.
So drink up all of me.
Fill up your soul, so that I may live through you.
Be my tomorrows that I'll never have - and I'll be there.
Love with every fiber of your being - and I'll be there;
living with you, breathing with you, loving with you.
You see, of all of the things in this life I have been,
more than anything else,
I am Love -
and I love you.
Come! Be love, too! | |

No love, not ice
could cool this fire;
though you, through Love
might slow this pyre.
You, love, at
my soul did aim;
from first when you
in my life came.
Always the hope
of love so deep;
into my life
great joy might creep.
I dream, sweetheart,
my love you'll claim;
a bond so strong,
you'd share my name.
True Love succeeds
through struggle and tarry;
defeat the world
and hearts might marry!
Through trial and error,
we'll play Love's game.
I pray my heart, dear,
you will tame.
But if our dream
of Love should fail,
there is no reason
our hearts should ail.
Feel not, love, guilty;
shoulder no blame.
Cry not Love's failure,
it's sorrow or shame.
Just pray your heart's curse
and mine aren't the same;
that yours, too, won't burn
the unquenchable flame. | |

Posted: 7/8/2011 5:59:25 PM | Times I've Loved You
The times I've loved you most
were the times when you weren't proud;
the times when you weren't showing off,
being boisterous or loud.
The times I've loved you most,
were the times when you were humbled;
the times when I had seen you cry,
when others dreams had crumbled.
The times I've loved you most,
weren't the times I've heard you lie;
the times you wouldn't tell the truth,
I wish you'd tell me why!
The times I've loved you most ,
when eye to eye, we'd speak;
when truth made you so beautiful,
so soft, tender and meek.
The times I've loved you most,
were the times when you weren't there;
the times when I could fool myself
and pretend that you might care.
Even though, you may never care,
I'm praying some day that you do;
that some day, you'll know,
some of us who had loved you -
were dreaming of love from you, too! | |

I want to see you happy;

To see you standing in the sun,

Of anything I'd want of you,
please, one thing for me do;
cry and pray for Christ to help,
this world to pull you through.
Of all the things I want for you,
please, one thing for you do;
repent and teach the world God's Will,
like Jesus told us to.
One last thing that you must do
to bring His Blessings down;
please accept the Holy Spirit,
like Christ, Who wears God's crown.
Of anything I've ever known,
I know that I love you!
I know, sweetheart, my soul will rest -
to know God loves you, too! | |

In this garden of life I have wandered.
Through it's flowers my mind and hopes weaved;
with all of my feelings and senses,
you're most beautiful I've ever perceived!
How eternal and lovely your splendor,
when you graciously glimpse in my eyes;
overwhelmed , swept away - in one moment,
my heart has breathed millions of sighs.
All my life towards your heart I've been driven;
'till I found rapture's meaning in your eyes.
All these years, Ive kept my love well-hidden;
a veiled love I'll no longer disguise.
Oh, dearest - for so long, I've been sleeping;
now it seems you're my dream that's come true!
In my slumber, it's your love I've been keeping.
Now, finally, I've awakened to you.
POW! That one still gives me chills - not bad for a ' tree - brained ' poet -
More later today - have an AWESOME one , fishes ( kick it in the butt ) | |

Oh, so many of you I've loved;
nearly all of you never knew.
My soul rejoiced so deep within,
as you and my love for you grew.
All I ever really needed
was having your laughter and smile.
For this, so great was my reward;
to love you so much all the while.
It's just sometimes I get so restless;
for your sake, to pour my love out.
As a moth drawn near a warm flame,
you are what my love is about.
But often, when I've let that happen,
it's twisted into something no good.
I'll hide my love before it's slandered;
kept pure - not misunderstood.
Sometimes, my heart feels so heavy
from these feelings that I keep inside.
Emotions that I should be sharing,
are feelings my love has to hide.
I know my body will wear out
just trying to hold my love in.
When you see my face and eyes smiling,
you'll know my love's making me grin. | |
