It is not in daylight, sunny skies so clear
Pasted smiles, squelched memories dear
Apple blossoms, springtime suburban delight
Little One read to, nursery rhyme smile bright
Cherished ‘Kitty’, daughter aged of not yet one
Discovering little wheels, freely having fun
Working in the cellar, focused there at task
Cursed cacophony, in moonlight now bask
When shrouds silent, envelop sleep in bed
Night Mare revisits, galloping in head
Awakened always, urgent, tasted mouth chalk
Polished boots shone glimmer, stones upon walk
Stabled restless, ‘Ebony’, night coloured mare
Soft velvet is Her muzzle, stroked gentle care
Saddle gentle placed, then gentle cinched
Mounted the Night Mare, rider subtle winced
Moonlight plays upon her mane, flowing gathered speed
Relentless timeless journey, insatiable each in other feed
Galloping headlong, cross brooks on fleeted wing
‘Ebony’, Night Mare, fleet footed, desire bring
One becomes Mare an’ rider, destined called in haste
Perspiration anxious, not a moment to waste
Foliage passes by, speeded moonlit wake
Basked in the moonlight, hope never forsake
Her hooves pounding, gentle rhythm thud
Thoughts overwhelm, that of life blood
Racing now, hearts pumping, earnest focus quest
Her silken mane flowing, speed attained One best
Towered in the distance, seen in cellar moor
Lighted is the doorway, an’ a concrete floor
With haste ‘Ebony’ spurned onward!
Galloping hooves steeled forward!
Cacophony of stairways, cold, held stone
‘Kitty’ embraced, silent, quiet, alone
No tears fell, from that sweet child grace
Night Mares ridden, in nocturnal face
‘Ebony’ is night mare, visits subtle nights
Relentless, pounding hoofbeats, sanity fights
Dreams heroic reached in, chased in folklore
Cursed the rider, didn’t shut the fvcking cellar door. | |

Posted: 5/20/2012 3:01:12 PM | Not written poetry for a while, although I have a small collection, they not all about love. So...here are a couple I just wrote. Hope they are ok.
The limits of my mind will never surpass the love in my heart
I miss the walks, the talks, the dreams, the smiles,
I miss watching the stars knowing someone is beside me,
I miss the touch of hands, the warmth of a lovers soul,
I miss sharing my heart and giving my love.
Through all I crave and all I want.
I miss the thought of you.
Although right now you are but a dream,
I prey my soul will bring you to me.
The stars at night are so beautiful,
Hold my hand and watch the shine.
When I see a shooting star,
My wish is for you.
I want my dreams,
I want my heart,
For you are in both,
Never to part. | |

Posted: 5/21/2012 12:58:11 PM | WeAre1: You have revealed a deep mystery. Hopefully, it doesn’t still weigh you down. As for being a dreamer, that’s what we are. You hit the nail on the head. I thank you for the new perspective.
teeantee: A lot of effort went into this. I wish I could lay eyes on Ebony—a fine mare indeed. Albeit, the surface speaks of a mare, the poem appears to have a twofold meaning. Nonetheless, it’s a great capture.
Silverdr: Welcome to the thread. Your poem is capturing. It definitely fits here.
I thank you for posting it here. | |

Posted: 5/23/2012 12:11:03 PM | A Broken Dream
Drifting through a river of
Dreams, reminiscing on a
Love made precious, but
Absent from the arms of
Would be lovers—what
Became of such precious
Dreams?
As if through the eyes of
Innocence, all became
Florescent, a puzzle that
Fell into place—in the
Hearts of dreamers, but
Reality is a cruel prankster
Revealing what never was.
If only their first encounter
Was ignescent—love upon
Love—sight upon sight.
Destiny would have been
Shook—such a spark
Would have awakened fate
Effacing doubt.
But the sanctuary of the
Soul was closed, offlimits
From prying souls. What
Would have been the ante?
Would all hell had broken
Loose? If only a dream
Was more than a dream—
More the symbol of
Eternity. They would then
Be one, reminiscing on
Love made precious
Opposed to guarding their
Hearts from phantoms. | |

Posted: 5/23/2012 12:48:14 PM | Mystery of my Dreams
Tease me, my love. Excite my
Passions. Step out of my dreams
And ravish my soul, for I’m
Ripe for love, drifting upon
Clouds.
Let us disappear together
Lost in one another’s arms
Running into the future, leaving
Our past woes to the winds—
Let our judgments remain pure.
Look into me, my love—peer
Into the mystery. It has always
Been us, weeping in the
Bitterness of our souls, longing
To become one.
Here I am, my love. Let us pine
No longer. Let us exit the
Wilderness of fruitless affairs
For our symphony is raging in
Our spirits.
Fairest beauty of them all, let
Me prove that majesty is near.
Let us embark upon a love
Surreal. Take one last chance
My love;
For love is ours for keeps, if we
Only dare to listen to our hearts.
Listen, my love. Our spirits are
Filled with poetry. We have been
Here before, my love. | |

Posted: 5/24/2012 11:27:20 AM | Haunted
Come into the temple, my love
Let us sanctify our union in
Midst the heavenly quarters
Let us touch the soul of Christ.
And I awoke in a cold sweat
Running through mirrors only
To return to myself, scathed
And injured within the spirit.
Daymares, even nightmares
Have encompassed me, where I
Am in need of a sacred contract
For I have leaped off the cliff.
It wasn’t my intention to perish
In her soul, but the colors drew
Me in, wherefore, I lost track of
The depth, sinking into her river.
I fell enlove with a reflection
Similar to my own, where the
Mystery had the countenance of
Holy sadness, pulling me inward.
I blushed at the forbidden
Drinking from the wellspring of
Desire, pining for what I could
Never be, bonded in the spirit.
I here repent for my transgression
Falling upon humble knees
Staring deep into myself, weeping
In the spirit of contrition. | |

Posted: 5/24/2012 11:27:51 AM | Lies for love
Love me through the madness
Where I drift through blue skies
Falling rapidly into the face of
God, repenting for my trespasses.
My ambivalent amore, let us
Shower in the agony of love
Careful to disguise our pain, for
Fear of heartfelt rejection.
Yes, if you must, hide from me
My love, in the midst of making
Love, where I question affection
And you answer with lies.
Nevertheless, love me in the
Bitterness of soul, and I shall lie
To witness you smile, gleeful and
Alive, shining in honor of pain.
Walk into my spirit, pluck the
Thorns therein, roll the briers to
The far north, and sketch an image
Of love in the passion of tomorrow.
Shall we be here, my love? Shall we
Survive the future, my languishing
Star?—for a splinter has punctured
Our fortress—I’m eager to fathom.
Depression is coming. But we did
Good keeping it at bay. So many
Laughs. Such soulfelt smiles. It was
Us the whole time, despite the lies. | |

Posted: 5/30/2012 1:49:41 PM | Uncertain Love
An effusion of love has ushered
Forth, but where is my rose to
Flower? She is cuddled insecurely
In her lover’s arms.
Breathe upon me, my precious
Love. Infuse me by way of a
Tender touch, for I must awaken.
Such heartfelt affairs are alogical
For they reach into the soul; and
Albeit, my muse if drifting upon
A stream, absent to the world, I
Presently feel the beat of her heart.
Pulsate through my system, my
Love, for life is unto soreness
Without the vibration of, my love.
Must I disabuse my thoughts, and
Forcibly deceive my heart, for love
Is present—hesitant, adrift the
Winds; thus, love me, my love,
Prior to the spirit falling apart.
My adorable heartbeat, permit our
Love to crystallize, despite, unsaid
Obligation to a hopeless soul.
Have I intruded, my love?—for
My spirit aches, to witness my
Amore writhing inside, shedding
Tears along the seashore.
But I shall drift into the shadows
My love. Where love shall shine
Brightly, waiting for what may
Never come. | |

When a Man loves a Woman
He disappears in her dreamy
Eyes, nurturing her holy soul
Set to sacrifice his godly spirit
To ensure her heavenly smile.
Indeed, when a man loves a
Woman, he can barely see her
Lost in the horizon, gazing into
A fairytale, to catch a glimpse.
She is all of what he shall
Never see, hiding in the forest
Of dreams, touching his vague
Heart, pulsating in waves.
He cries when her ways are
Aloof, adrift in wonder, peering
Into a maze, unaware of what
The sunset may bring.
Indeed, when a man loves a
Woman, his passions surface
From the sea of his being—he
Gives them in pledge of
Eternity, a wilderness roaming
The thoughts of mankind. | |

Posted: 6/17/2012 8:08:26 AM | Makes perfect sense to me, too. It's all a matter of perspective I suppose..
When a woman loves a man
she wants to nurture him like a mother should...
to hold him when he is overwhelmed,
to stay at arms length when he needs to be...
allowing room for breath but assuring "I am still there when you need me."
When a woman loves a man
it is for eternity...
even when he is out of sight
and all that is left is a memory.

she wants to kill him
ten times a day
or more
if possible
Well there ya have it!

Um... just whisperin' there
for yer respectful consideration...

Posted: 6/25/2012 6:36:30 PM | "ethics and suppressed desires.....feel free to express"
hmmm....
is it ethical not to express
if desires are suppressed?
if there's no desire, is it ethical not to say?
what is more honest? kind withdrawal
or free expression?
if one knows one's truth
is it necessary to share it?
which is more kind?
sharing with sensitivity
perhaps is best
or just run away
free and easy
to where the pixies
and fairies hang out
with elves and magic | |

Yes, it is necesarry to share One's truth.
Kindness is irrelevant, if attacked.
It is a choice, yet a challenge.
Pixies fly, freely, magical butterflies
Sheep graze content on pastures green....
Would, or should that be risked?
Little ones, or fed sweet false sugar?
May I ask , please:
is it best to teach young?
or let young teach?
It's simple.
Taught are young old
Old are taught young
it is wisdom however
that embraces young
old renew. | |

so is omission a lie

this damaging knowledge?
sometime the truth only sets us free

Posted: 7/13/2012 3:26:08 PM | her eyes are gentle upon my flesh
but our nights are without vision
divination has become darkness
we are the sin of Jerusalem

for the moon has dimed the skies

love. Kiss me deeply. Resurrect
my soul.

essence of heaven. But how do I
authenticate my claim?
Beckon me into the vineyards of
your heart, where we would love
freely, albeit, we have freely
hidden from the depth of said love.
but let us pitch a tent together:
nibble upon grapes together,
lost in the woes of poetry, sipping
from the vat of enchantment,
praying silently for one another’s
soul.
tend to our garden, my love—for
wildflowers lurk in the shadows.
indeed, my rose sprouted from
concrete, awakening spirits, a solid
pillar of the harvest.
my fair beauty, shadowed by the
presence of sadness, who sees you
my love?—dangling, nay, mastering
the tightrope.
you may fall into my arms and
cast your burdens upon my
shoulders.
beloved of poetry’s soul, stir within
us a fortress.
let us dwell therein, safe from the
hand of tragic tales.
indeed, in the secret places, my love
dwells, a treasure to behold
giving strength to the weary, casting
light upon the darkest corners. | |

wrapted in the arms of
her lover, falsely secure
for the winter, until his
eyes grow weary of the
familiar
let her Ba speak of
dreams deferred,
postponed on behalf of
her lover, as he takes
refuge in the night
though the sun shines
in her glory
romance has captured
our footprints within the
garden, where our tears
have watered the lilies
we are therefore fruitful
in our pains
where is her identity?—
it is at the mercy of
literature, suffocating
between the lines
tortured in the summer
winds
but the birth of strength
writhing in the political
sphere, hast sprouted a
stem, which lay drenched
in newness—the newness
of hopes
where is such hope to
dwell? Hopefully within
the temples of vision
where Spirit gives birth
to motion—the guidance
of a nation | |

dwells within the songs

hast time to give?—
especially to one
drenched in the passion
of electric streams
our souls have seeped
into our imagination
severing our personality
challenging our heartbeats
what hast time to give?
let fate unveil and alert
to the seasons that love
has come to its end
however, alert to its
resurrection
my mind, arrested in the
woods, captured by tacit
beauty, wailing to the
psaltery of my future
it’s the poetry of existence
echoing the core of our
destiny, where a bruised
leaf serves as our spirits
in place of such tenderness
dwells a solemn secret
the source of Yahweh’s
eyes, written upon sacred
papyrus
the charge of something
more is upon our souls
but hidden in the forest of
worry, where one soon
gets lost in charades | |

Posted: 10/18/2012 3:07:31 PM | angelic, my fervent passion
kiss me softly, pierce the
winter’s heart—cause me to
ponder aside cupid’s arrow
in love’s essence, a storm
races through my members
I am affected, staring into
glowing stars
what has become of us—
wrestling with dragons
walking freely into the
flames, despite the injuries
born in our spirits
authenticity was first a
dream to us, an impulse
of the soul, lost in vacant
eyes, afflicted with hurt—
who would understand?
and there fate appeared
poking us in the belly
we felt the surge, waves
pulsating through our hearts
proximity became painful
to be responsible for
wounded spirits, while night
sits on its stool, casting spells
upon the Morning Star
would that our vision remain
fresh, sparkling in our hearts
awakening us in burning
degrees, for eternity is nigh
else we ponder alone
conversing with the moon
wondering of the presence
of love | |
