and water them daily to flush out the tolls
of everyday life, let the seed start to bloom
fill the day with colours of joy, never doom.
May your day be blessed by all that you meet
and the joy be passed to everyone whom you greet
Let the sun shine upon you as your working each day
May the flowers you carry fill your heart in every way | |

Posted: 2/22/2007 7:41:03 AM | May the flowers you carry fill your heart in every way
don't let a corner stay in the darkness or grey
smell those roses, geraniums and narcissus
arrange the petals originally without being vicious
you may want to taste some before dinner time
but remember they're there because of first line
lick off some nectar as it drips from the bud
savour the flavour with warm patient love

| 8 LINE STANZAS
Posted: 2/22/2007 8:53:01 AM | Savour the flavour with warm patient love
like the olive branch rests in the mouth of a dove
You came to me like a theif in the night
You made me see more, when I had lost sight
It amazes and awes even the hardest of fools
How love crumbles the walls, and breaks right thorough
I was never so ready to let someone in
I know now it's fate, and my heart you will win. | |
|
| 8 LINE STANZAS
Posted: 2/22/2007 9:08:51 AM | I know now it's fate, and my heart you will win
the message is there, a new beginning again.
My body tingles everytime I hear your voice
anticipating the connection, anywhere, anytime, its my choice.
And altho we are many miles apart
the distance brings you that much closer to my heart.
Time and patience are our magical keys
till that moment when our love reigns free. | |
|
| 8 LINE STANZAS
Posted: 2/22/2007 9:48:04 AM | Till that moment when our love reigns free
I'll be true to myself to be all I can be
With anticipation my heart beats strong
like the pounding of drums in my head, like a song
While I wait for the moment to hold you so near
the ache and the yearning I have for you dear
I'll keep tight inside me and never let out
till we meet once again, with never a doubt | |
|
| 8 LINE STANZAS
Posted: 2/22/2007 11:03:36 AM | till we meet once again, with never a doubt
I have known when you were somewhere about
A sense, a tingle, intensely aware
Leading me to you, just missing you there.
I’m sure your path runs parallel to mine
And wind through the same crevices left there in time
And many an occasion I’m sure they have crossed
But from this perspective it feels like we’re lost. | |
|
| 8 LINE STANZAS
Posted: 2/22/2007 11:30:59 AM | But from this perspective, it feels like we're lost
we were so willing to give, no matter the cost.
Through the pain and tears,
through the smiles and love,
I have no regrets, I have not come undone.
I keep the memories so close to my heart
I knew the inevitable, that one day we'd part.
We wanted to make it, a love that would last,
As hard as it is, you are now only my past. | |
|
| 8 LINE STANZAS
Posted: 2/22/2007 12:24:21 PM | As hard as it is
you are now only my past
however convoluted
Iam equal to the task
so keep those memories
and cherish your part
secure in the knowledge
you are the healthiest piece of my heart | |
|
| 8 LINE STANZAS
Posted: 2/22/2007 12:44:18 PM | You are the healthiest piece of my heart
which I hold deep within
a likeness of self
where our meetings begin
I sense and I feel
we've been through this before
wether close or afar
it is you I adore | |
|
| 8 LINE STANZAS
Posted: 2/22/2007 12:48:06 PM | it is you I adore
as I gaze a foreign shore
there is so much more
but its all a bore
with out you to share it with
I may never again find bliss
so alone standing here I miss
the world inside your kiss | |
|
| 8 LINE STANZAS
Posted: 2/22/2007 12:58:04 PM | The world inside your kiss
brings a passion within
and a memory that gnaws
at my soul as I begin
to remember that time
that we shared long ago
of moments so sacred
just so you know | |
|
| 8 LINE STANZAS
Posted: 2/22/2007 1:20:48 PM | just so you know I remember so fond
the feeling of love going on and on
with lust overpowering some of the night
we held all together with fragments of light
woven by candles all around your room
flickering on silk and chiffon as we swoon
lingering like some tea or dark chocolate
your taste is with me I will never forget | |
|
| 8 LINE STANZAS
Posted: 2/22/2007 2:00:30 PM | your taste is with me I will never forget
the time, the lines, the dripping sweat
the beat, the moves, the simple sway
the rock, the grooves, the sadistic play
time greater than myself opened itself to me
as you opened yourself to let me have a peek
i laughed, i cried, i screamed for all the things i saw
i want to say i'm in love, but there's fear in that fall | |
|
| 8 LINE STANZAS
Posted: 2/22/2007 5:46:33 PM | there's fear in that fall for a moment
the balance of space with time
tricking you into thinking
something real is ready to find
quicker than anything noticed
perspectives are unrecognized
all that was and ever could be
melts before your eyes | |
|
| 8 LINE STANZAS
Posted: 2/22/2007 6:04:26 PM | before your eyes, I stand
alone inside this crown
put your hands out quickly
I think I'm going down
too many words are flying
thought process is out of sync
help me, baby, hold me up
in this word pool where i drink | |
|
| 8 LINE STANZAS
Posted: 2/22/2007 6:45:20 PM | this word pool where i drink
for me is the missing link
I get to come here and share
things that I think elsewhere
but to say them way out there
oh my oh my I just wouldn't dare
so out with the parables in with the slang
even when I skip a syllable no one says a thang | |
|
| 8 LINE STANZAS
Posted: 2/22/2007 7:28:52 PM | even when I skip a syllable
no one says a thang
could be cause I'd "box yer ears"
and make your head twang
and run you should as I am fierce
and wiser in my years
so keep that tongue inside yer mouth
if you value those 2 ears
(had fun with that one) | |
|

Posted: 2/22/2007 7:33:26 PM | "and run you should as I am fierce

Beautiful, memorable line, Awakening! | |
|
| 8 LINE STANZAS
Posted: 2/22/2007 8:48:16 PM | if you value those 2 ears
that honour the wind by listening
If you did count those years
and all the petals that lay glistening
and all the leaves that fell
and all the walks, many walks
the countless trips to the well
that leave me in this space | |
|
| 8 LINE STANZAS
Posted: 2/22/2007 8:54:21 PM | Leave me in this space
No, go, I need to be here
Alone in time and place
I need to face this fear
Let me suffer in my way
And face the dark within
Let the voices tell what may,
The only way out is in | |
|
| 8 LINE STANZAS
Posted: 2/22/2007 8:54:52 PM | the countless trips to the well
that leave me in this space
ring the echoing bell
and fill me full of grace,
to keep me in a place
of wondering. | |
|
| 8 LINE STANZAS
Posted: 2/22/2007 8:58:48 PM | the only way out is in
learn to count before you begin
there are eight lines required
attention is born from within
I know there are more of us out there
that adhere to the rules and still can share
welcome ogeorge and well done too
I couldn't have done it better if I were you | |
|

Posted: 2/22/2007 9:03:19 PM | But, blundering, and heeding not the rule
of the eight line stanza, I am a fool. (these two for penance.) | |

Posted: 2/22/2007 9:15:46 PM | I couldn't have done it better if I were you
…of the eight line stanza, I am a fool.
oh… which one to follow
and try to stay true
Nice to meet you too
As I listen to Keith Jarret
sleepy time now
or tomorrow no carrot | |

Well, they could have used the edit butt-in
I couldn't have done it better if I were you
Well you didn’t, 4 minutes too late it’s true!
of the eight line stanza, I am a fool.
Well we were just seconds, so that’s almost cool,
oh… which one to follow, Oh just grin and bear it
sleepy time now or tomorrow no carrot | |
