Posted: 3/30/2007 12:29:51 AM | I shed a tear today when I came across that box
I'm sure you know the one I'm talking about
that held all of our letters written so long ago
it almost seems like a life time has passed
since those letters traveled across the seas
carrying our words of love and devotion
that were often times blurred by tears
two hearts that were beating as one
yet living on opposite sides of the world
missing you to the point that I often felt
if I sat still enough and was quiet enough
I could hear my heart crying and feel its tears
as it thundered on over the injustice of it all
to so easily of found love in such a short time
then to have to spend that long year apart
feeling like an eternity was passing us over
with only words upon paper to get us by
but just so you know that tear that I shed
wasn't meant for you or my missing you
I shed it for me and the girl that I used to be
the one that was lost after living with you
the one that used to believe love was real
and that dreams often times came true

Posted: 3/30/2007 6:55:52 PM | behold life..given of the sixth day
a wonderous spectrum...exploded in unimaginable glory
appolo your light shines brighter now...your charriot of heavens fire
radiating the soft surface of athena robe
now cloaking all darkness...shadows long decended
hidden world devoid of light
sensuous robe of life ...fauna's realm
tide of darkness soon shall rise to cover thee again
cycle of life....pattern of light
glory in nature
behold ...the vision
behold life

shelter seek under robe of athena's glory
the tide does rise slowly clutching all in her abyss
juno's world now taking hold once more
athena slips into quite rest
her robe soon dampened by the tide
behold the rythem of light and darlk
behold the tides of life

Posted: 4/3/2007 1:42:06 AM | shadowriter ~ thank you for sharing your poems here in my thread... I think they are wonderful.... know that you are always welcome in the haven of my cavern....
I often times wish to warn those friends of mine
that tread so willingly in shark infested waters
they know not that evil is circling as they venture about
but I can not share with them the danger that lurks
for I believe each shall eventually learn on thier own
but my heart cries out at the eventuality of their pain
knowing that even if I were to warn they'd not believe
they'd not take heed of my words so silent I shall remain
standing off in the wings waiting for them to tumble and fall
ready to help lift them back up and gather all the pieces
that remain scattered about after such an encounter
with the evil that lurks in shark infested waters....

Posted: 4/3/2007 1:56:47 AM | Shado I hope the darkness recedes for you soon..
You've left some amazing writes around the place
You're presence is valued...I hope you can find the light
Caly~ ^^ thats so true
And yes, even if you do say something its not believed
The truth is no match for a lie, because a lie can change, the truth cant.
I try to give people the beneift of the doubt until they give me reason not to..
But even then I dont go out after them...I just go on my way
Each to their own..but I have a long memory and they'll never have my trust again
On the subject of shark infested waters
Salt waters cleanse my spirit from the foetid darkness
That lurks in the caverns unseen by many men
Sister wind refresh my senses and bring to me your story
That I might breathe again..
Wolf spirit watch well over me and guide my steps with care
And peace be mine and all who walk in the ways of nature dear
Even sharks those much maligned creatures who in truth have took so few
And only for to live and eat....not greed as mankind do
And they are eaten also..in your blessed fish and chips
Remember shark resides in you, next time your fork does dip!
 
Oops. Sorry Caly :) Started out serious but I just saw a shark fish next to chips on a plate at the end! lol The places my pen goes! (shakes head)
(nice to see you back* You were absent for a while....) | |

Posted: 4/3/2007 2:14:11 AM | On a lighter note...if I may...
I know you used to love unicorns and collect them..but you said you somehow stopped believing... As you know, I still believe. And so...
With silv'ry mane she dances across the heavens
Rhythmic hoofbeats waken me from slumber
And soft my smile as creeps across my countenance
I'd thought the sound I head was merely thunder
But unicorns do call me, to come out and play a while
And run with them on spirit of the wind
For all of immortals know to nurture inner child
That way with each new dawn..a day begins
So run I will, and dance with leaves, and rooftops soar above
And eyes will shine as joy is mine
And glowing from each pore, each blessed breath, is love
As soar we do on winds of time..
For the unicorn is free.. | |

Posted: 4/3/2007 2:14:19 AM | salty no worries here
after the weekend I've had I needed the laugh...
and yes you are correct I have been absent....
I find it hard to write when my mind is consumed with other things
and I'm being pulled in several directions....
but I know I need to write because it's driving me nuts that I haven't....
I can't decide which is worse...
not being able to post that which you write
or not being able to write anything to post

Posted: 4/7/2007 11:10:01 AM | And then....
Back to the beach, still dark,
Where the crabs discuss their hatred.
All the creatures make their mark,
The seen, the wooed, the mated.
There sits Orpheus out of breath,
Staring at his bleeding hands.
Wishing for a nice, quick death,
That his pit were made from sand. | |

Posted: 4/8/2007 10:21:23 AM | Hope everyone has a happy and blessed Easter holiday filled with family, love, and laughter!
in the morning the children did awake
and in search of eggs they went
not an egg to be found or even a bunny
and tears in their eyes did gather
as they picked up the phone and called mom
groggily she answered when it rang at 7am
to hear her children crying and asking
tell us please the easter bunny came there
we searched high and low here at dads
and not an easter egg was to be had
tell us mommy please he didn't do it again
and forget all about us again this year
we were good enough we really were
tell us please the bunny loves us still
awake now is mom as she hears the distress
and groans silently to herself not again
then tells them cheerily of course he was here
you'll have eggs galore for both to search for
and baskets filled to the tops with jelly beans
eggs, toys, and of course chocolate bunnys
so please dry your tears, the bunny still loves you
he just stopped at the wrong house this year
then with excitement and glee they say thanks
and disconnect the call as mom jumps out of bed
and heads for the store to buy candy for eggs to fill

Posted: 4/12/2007 3:02:40 AM | thnx shadow... the day ended well... so all is ok =)
bringing this one home...
and so I stepped away from night
heading for the sunshine bright
following before path of moon
I'm feeling I left much to soon
as spots dance before my eyes
and ears here nothing but lies
I seek to once again retreat
solitude a blessing and sweet
I stand instead exposed to you
fear within me running through
quick I think must run and hide
but instead I stand love denied
in darkness I no longer dwell
light shining still feels like hell
yet here I still continue to stand
waiting for you to take my hand
show me the path eyes cannot see
help guide me through the debris
of a broken heart scattered about
and a mind that's filled with doubt

Posted: 5/20/2007 11:49:39 PM | sifting through time
memories that linger
of days gone by
wondering how it is
when looking back
at once an infant
so tiny and helpless
rocked within arms
no longer able to carry
the child you've become
t'was only yesterday
or so it seems to me
yet there you stand
at the home plate
feet digging in
bat held ready
the ball connects
another home run
surrounded by friends
offering pats on the back
and high fives all around
as I sit out in the crowd
heart filled with pride
cheering you on
silently filing away
another memory
of days gone by

Posted: 5/22/2007 5:39:24 PM | I traveled down
the broken road of life
searching for a highway
that was simply paved
nevermind streets of gold
I only wanted to journey
upon a road that ran smooth
a pathway of easier days
as my soul struggled
and my heart cried out
another rut in the road
and the tire blows
I curse the life I live
and the road I'm on
as I pull off to the side
stranded with no where to go
I let out a sigh and look around
then the realization hits me
that I was passing life by
while searching for perfection
that was never to be found
I was missing the beauty
that was there all along
right off to the side
of a broken road...

Posted: 5/23/2007 11:33:52 PM | lead blindly down the path of life
believing in friendship that's not true
eyes that see whats not really there
trust and respect reserved for few
crushing hopes with disappointment
the soul aches and dreams are lost
the true side of you finally viewed
regretting the day our paths crossed

Posted: 5/24/2007 9:15:07 PM | I often times wonder
when love will strike
will it be today...
tomorrow....
next month, next year....
how will I know
when it's finally hit me
after so many years
of living alone
I sometimes wonder
if I know what love is
will I recognize it
when it's finally here
or will it simply
just pass me by....

Posted: 6/22/2007 10:24:47 PM | death knocked upon the door
again, again, and once more
collecting souls of old and young
as the sparrow watched and sung
their earthly bodies left to mourn
as their spirits are reborn
death knocked upon the door
again, again, and once more
greedy with need it seems
death steals our dreams
taking the people we love
and the pets we take care of
death knocked upon the door
again, again, and once more
as we struggled to keep him out
our hearts fill with doubt
sadness and grief
anger and disbelief
death knocked upon the door
again, again, and once more
another loved one given their wings
as the sparrow watches and sings

Posted: 6/23/2007 10:45:27 PM | thnx for stopping by nw is nice to be writing again.... only wish my inspiration had come from else where....
the sun did rise just for her
on that cold November day
as she made her entrance
into this earthly world
a dark haired cherub
with chubby cheeks
and sparkling eyes
ten tiny fingers
ten teeny toes
your very own angel
given to you to hold
shared smiles
giggles and tears
late night feedings
and diaper changes
a world turned upside down
in such a joyous manner
now spins out of control
as the sun does set
on a hot summer night
and your lil angel
spreads her wings
and takes flight

Posted: 6/23/2007 11:08:08 PM | Caly-- It is good to see you posting again. I enjoyed your above poem. I already know I will miss my baby bird when he flies from the nest. Hope all has been going well for you.
Into the darkness my soul will feel
When wings are spread and eagles soar
An empty feeling will grow inside my heart
Fly son fly .... forever will you be my baby | |

Posted: 6/25/2007 8:57:58 PM | Greetings Caly,
I've been reading your latest poems, I particularly liked "Death knocked upon the door", very good! 
-Fallen tree-
Years tattooed in your bark,
inner rings, now naked, are telling your age
Today your days became dark
and a sawmill will turn your last page
Tired you was to resist that wind,
tired of being a witness, silent and lone,
of a world with no time to stop and be kind,
now lying there your secrets remain unknown
With each fallen leaf also fell hope,
sighs once raised from under your shade,
for comforting souls was also within your scope
but now your memory will begin to fade
Yet today you reminded me of my fate,
of that inexorable destiny we all must face,
whether it finds me early or late
I hope to face it, like you did, with some grace

Posted: 7/4/2007 11:15:26 PM | stupidity never goes
no matter what I do
it resides in my soul
stupidity reigns
its at my core
its who I am
that I can't change
I just fool myself
thinking I might
just goes to show
who's stupid tonight

I think there is a better solution than stupidity

sax, dreads, and rock n roll
there once was a sax playing dread headed rock star
he played gigs groovin in the bar
when he hit that high F# the ladies swoon with desire
they didn't know he his head was on fire
teaming with spiders and a long snake
they been livin' up there a while
the dudes a complete flake
( just silly enough for a laugh.. hmmm you think? *** and that's why I don't do comedy!!! )
