Posted: 3/5/2007 1:38:31 AM | To past heartache and its cost;
To save the souls wary lost:
There is but a beacon mirred in rock;
The irony there, light to prevent havoc.
Many a ship would be wrecked beware;
Save and except that beacon there!
Many thankful seafarers when storm is done;
Reflect over sandwich an' coffee, that One.
Rocks to be wary, stormy sea;
Greatest fog in not to see;
That lighthouse tower, beaming bright;
Fog horn sound, saved them this night.
Regards,

Posted: 3/5/2007 11:22:05 PM | The roads have been hard and many.
The journey has been long....
went through a valley to climb this mountain,
all this,...just to find my way home.
Now that the storm is calm inside of me,
I can breathe in ........with ease...all of this beauty.
But I can't turn a blind eye....for I feel and I see
when others suffer from so much pain and needs.
Through all I have endured,
there is a certain awareness that comes about....
for suffering is knowlege,
and I no longer let my questioning bring doubt.
With this awareness,
it allows me to know when something needs to change.
And in faith and works,
I know... with suffering.... there is purpose.....and all that we endure is not in vain....... | |

Posted: 3/6/2007 12:02:28 AM | The Fox upon the journey in own life quest;
Seeks to care for Family to Her very best.
The riders mount the horses and unleash hound;
Chase that Fox for sport and drive Her to the ground.
The hounds have been trained for such;
Of rain or sun they know not much.
Mounted fools in coats of red;
Seek in sport beautiful Fox dead.
But that Fox with depth of eye;
Thwarts all of that sporting they try;
Smiles She in safe haven in foliage green;
While hunters and entourage pass by.....
The Fox unseen!
Kindest regards to all: but especially to "Foxie',

Posted: 3/7/2007 12:17:37 AM | piercing pain preventing
words from even flowing
yet the soul begs to write
even on such a night
dizzy with vision blurred
it's completely absurd
sleep is what I need
that's for sure indeed
so releaving frustration
with such a sad creation
ryhme I know not supreme
but finally I'm off to dream

Posted: 3/8/2007 9:12:20 PM | a little from the lighter side...
seriuos words escape from me..
my lighter side it have to be
sitting in my chair alone
like henry in his mighty throne
I ate too much..I must admit
tommorow morning pants won't fit
golden arches called me there
of 1/4 pounder do beware
large fries and coke to frost the cake
with rumbling stomache I will awake
passing gas in darkest night
the sleeping cat I'm sure to fright
the dogs will look with dismiss glare
under blankets do beware
I'm not this way
all the time
only write whats on my mind | |

Posted: 3/8/2007 9:12:45 PM | Dear Friends:
As yet untitled:
The sweet smell of horse stall
The rider prepares that love
Eager anticipation freedom
Both!
The freshness of morning air!
Bursting forth in youth joy
Fragrance pines
Free air!
Both feel that freedom!
The coolest wind
More than scent
To run!
The air was moist
Could taste it
Drink it in....
Not wasted.. a moment!
Freedom there relaxed
To run free!
Separate, but One!
Through the field, jump the brook!
Past, the present whom may care!
Enjoying each but together One
Flying free! Soaring, flowing high!
Savouring, tasting, touching ...my!
Regards,
TBK | |

Posted: 3/8/2007 9:26:18 PM | Dear Friends:
Poetry is it not but an escape from reality? Perhaps an expression of reality: like any art form it is an expression. Please, to be clear, it is a place whereby I just feel free to express all that I feel, like a dance.....or playin' in the band....dance, sing, play! BE FREE..........
Regards all,

Something is missing
The heart of our soul
The eyes of our spirit
We search
There you are
Hiding
But never alone! | |

Posted: 3/11/2007 11:54:38 PM | into the abyss
of nothingness
ready to step
darkness kept
the soul in anguish
unable to toil
mind in turmoil
waging war
searching for
the soulful wish
lovable
acceptable
wanting
needing
the soul's desire
fraught in pain
heart slain
now incapable
unattainable
the soul in dire
the abyss
of loneliness
not feeling
not seeing
the soul bled
emotion gone
withdrawn
no giving
no receiving
the soul dead

Posted: 3/13/2007 8:54:28 PM | living in this pain
a rythm in my brain
thats tearing me apart
driving me insane
it thunders and stabs
can't even open my eyes
everythings a blur
especially when I rise
dizzy and feeling faint
just have to lay down
no sight, no sound
no moving around
and still the pain
won't go away
can't sleep, can't eat
can't go another day
doctors can't help
all these shots
and all these meds
and still seeing spots
for over two weeks now
been living in this pain
thats tearing me apart
and driving me insane

Posted: 3/14/2007 3:43:42 PM | crying eyes
see the pain
the heart feels
as love again fails
walking away
becomes easier
shutting down
second nature
loneliness becomes
the way of life
my only destiny
'tis finally clear
shall fight no more
perhaps hearts desires
exist only in fairy tales
true love never to behold
only half measures
and guilty pleasures
none of lifes treasures
such simple things
within my mind
my heart....
a glance across the room
a strong but gentle hug
a lingering kiss
a whispered welcome home
how's your day been...
a lover, a friend....
one who listens,
one who hears,
one who's there...
through the ups
and the downs
til the very end...
holding your hand
and drawing in
life's last breath
to say I love you
just once more
before I pass....
at least I have
my dreams....

Posted: 3/14/2007 4:42:35 PM | From dreams to the manifest here
Recognizing me in you so clear
Thus we all see a piece of us
Standing there
afraid to trust | |

Posted: 3/14/2007 7:56:12 PM | 'Friend'
Friend calls there upon the door;
Knowing She needs comfort more:
Let us share with cup of tea;
Experience both You and me.
Fears expressed that of trust;
In friendship that is not a must:
Care, compassion soul within;
Thus acknowledged, trust begin.
Acceptance do we all but seek?
Achille's heel, we are all meek!
That lighthouse with light so bright!
Shines within cavern tonight!

Posted: 3/14/2007 9:51:39 PM | angry and hurt with vengence on his mind
he re-enlists and off he goes to war
four year tour once already completed
but now he's decided to go back for more
a broken marriage and too many friends lost
their lives taken by war, he now offers his own
death came for them at the hands of the enemy
so he seeks solace in a foreign land in a war zone
lost in this life, feeling alone he's found new purpose
he's after blood, he wants revenge, he's hard core
he's trained for these days, he believes himself prepared
he joins his brothers in arms, his family the marine corps
he's left his wife behind to file for divorce and move on
he's not sure if he really wants to make it back alone
he just wants revenge for his brothers and a piece of the action...
but those that love him pray he finds peace and makes it back home....

Posted: 3/15/2007 9:57:59 PM | I've come to realize
my past life was too good
so in order to redeem myself
I'll suffer three times over
while living this time around
and should I die too soon
my next life shall continue
to be more of the same
I think I actually found love
once... three life times ago
back when life was simple
I was the farmers daughter
we lived some where near a stream
with mountains in the distance
a simple one story house
with only three rooms
and it was filled with love
I never saw the ocean then
but I know I had a shell
that played the waves for me
as I sat on the porch swing
looking up at the stars each night
and imagined I could go anywhere
but longed to go no where
for I'd found love right where I was
I awoke each day as the sun rose
and the birds sang with a smile on my lips
and my arms wrapped around my man
three lifetimes ago and I feel it still
waiting for him to again appear
I tread this earth in modern times
feeling lost and alone, searching
waiting, needing my other half
wondering when we will once again
be brought together....
until then I'll suffer
a lifetime of loneliness
for I'll not make the mistake
of just settling again....

Posted: 3/17/2007 10:13:07 PM | standing on the ledge
teetering at the edge
thinking; debating
as waves are crashing
down upon the rocks
soft tune of music box
such a sweet melody
pulls me to thee
on this lonely night
spirit takes flight
life passes my eyes
no time for goodbyes
as body does fall
life's over... that's all

Posted: 3/17/2007 10:34:31 PM | walking away so easy to say
but have you ever lived
one of my days...
have you walked in my shoes...
have you seen what I've seen...
have you ever heard
what I've been told??
no I didn't think you had...
so please save your advice
and words of such "wisdom"
when you know nothing of life
and this viscious cycle I live
the threats that I've heard
the fear that I live with
the tears that my kids and I cry
don't just tell me to walk away
don't tell me how things will be ok
for your words mean nothing
actions are what I believe
fists of fury and words of disgrace
those are the things that I know
talk is cheap... and it won't protect me
words from you are nothing
when you've nothing to back it up
so I'll make a deal with you....
I'll walk away just as soon
as you lead the way....

Posted: 3/18/2007 12:06:14 AM | I once climbed a tree
just because I so wanted to see
from over here to over there
I just wanted to see every where
and when I stopped to look around
you wouldn't believe what I found
but a monkey was there just sitting
and I couldn't help but be staring
for I honestly never did know
that monkeys liked capuccino
but there he sat calm as could be
sipping away at his drink you see
and you might think me quite mad
but I actually asked if he perhaps had
an extra capuccino that I could drink
and amazingly enough that monkey did wink
then he kindly handed me a cup
and actually told me to drink up
~Caly | |

| The End...
Posted: 3/18/2007 1:24:40 PM | the heart breaks
for love never found
only mistakes
as life goes round
filled with pain
continually let down
plays havoc on the brain
leaves you to drown
in a sea of hopelessness
filled with dispair
a heart of emptiness
and no one to care
to tired to explore
searching for a myth
never seen before
search ends forthwith
~Caly | |
|
| The End...
Posted: 3/18/2007 3:21:57 PM | happily ever afters
are just fairy tales
love like unicorns
beautiful in theory
but fairy tales
none the less
is what they are
I used to read
I once believed
but now the story ends
the book is closed
and now I know
now I see....
fairy tales are nothing more
then dreams written in ink
that fade with passing years
then crumble to nothingness
eventually blowing away
leaving the dreamer
filled with dismay

Posted: 3/18/2007 9:14:04 PM | follow the path
thats half hidden
bordered by rocks
it leads to the forest
and once you enter
you'll see the stream
that gently flows
bubbling and babbling
over the bed of rocks
a path runs along side
peaceful and quite
nature untouched
climbing through limbs
and over tree trunks
til things once more
will open up wide
light shines through
and you'll be standing
at the base of the mountain
where the stream is seen
running free and running wide
over the red mountain rocks
shallow and crystal clear
the water is cool to the touch
mountain snow melting away
you'll see off to your left
a crevice in the mountain side
barely visible where you stand
but once you venture that way
you'll see it's wide and open
just hop right over the stream
and hike into that cavernous
mountain side, where you will find
fallen rocks to be climbed upon
and crawled between and underneath
but once your on the other side
such a site for you to behold
your own private waterfall
that splashes down into a pool
where you can swim or shower
or hike on in and stand behind
the beautiful curtain of water
so vivid and fresh it still is
in my mind that spot is mine
and though its been
well over twenty years
I can still feel that water
and see it as it falls...
that's my cavern...
my spot that's mine...
that I wish I could share
with someone I love...
