| If I could wish a wish for you
Posted: 5/21/2008 11:25:32 AM |
If I were a weaver of soft spoken words
I would create a constellation in the sky
Each star representing the wishes
If I could wish a wish for you
I’d wish all your dreams come true
It would be a wish for you alone
Wish all your troubles away and gone
I’d wish your life were full of peace
I’d wish for all your woes to cease
I’d wish your days each full of bliss
I’d wish no more would go amiss
I’d wish your skies from grey to blue
I’d wish moonbeams to shine on you
I’d wish for stars to guide your way
I’d wish the sun to brighten your day

Your love has shown me
a special corner of heaven
Wherever you go
as me you are leavin'
Be strong Stay safe
feeling loved and free
Until our Angels
bring you back to me.
You are my strength
The courage I lack
You lift me up
And keep me on track
You are my hope
Holding my hand
Helping me cope
Beside me you stand
I need you by my side
To lead me along this way
Building me up inside
Ready to handle the day
For now I must go alone
But with you in my heart
And when my task is done
And I’m free to depart
I know you’ll be there
Just waiting for me
When the road I must travel
Will lead me to thee
When at last I reach the end
And see your smile
Free to love you, my friend
It will have been worthwhile

| LOST IN LOVE
Posted: 5/21/2008 11:46:28 AM | As I lay down my head and close my eyes
Drifting into the abyss of tranquil sleep
My body and soul floating towards the skies
My heart is light; it has no more need to weep
For my body feels the warmth of your beside me
My heart feels the overwhelming love that we share
My soul is filled with the joy of knowing thee
Because you and I have found a gift so rare
As we carry each other on a journey of passion
Side by side, holding hands, together as one
Then coming to rest on a black velvet cushion
Softly whispering as our journey has begun
Our hands exploring, gently caressing, so tender
Lips meeting, drawing the very breath from within
Bodies touching, bringing sighs of sweet surrender
Silk against silk, let our coming together we begin

Posted: 5/22/2008 12:36:18 PM | You are everything
You're everything romance
And love can comprise
As I stand in your presence
And gaze into your eyes.
You've defined what it is
To be fully subdued
And enraptured by the song
In my heart, you imbued.
Just a kiss from your lips
Sets my heart all aflame
Where the hand of my soul
Carefully carves your sweet name!
May our heavens sing
Of our love so strong
When our two halves are joined,
And to each they belong

Posted: 5/23/2008 3:00:59 PM | You are my strength
The courage I lack
You lift me up
And keep me on track
You are my hope
Holding my hand
Helping me cope
You know where I stand
I need you by my side
To lead me along this path
Building me up inside
Ready to handle the wrath
This I must do alone
But with you in my heart
And when my task is done
And I’m free to depart
I know you’ll be there
Just waiting for me
When the road I must travel
Will lead me to thee
When at last I reach the end

Sweet, silent messages
flowed within night to me

he is one I wish for you to know
so take his hand my child
safe with him I know you will be
for your lifetime
hold your heart he will tenderly.
Good morning Ms. Serendipity...enjoy your day! | |

everyone, truly fantastic.
Thank you for your kind words naiveandwitty, they are very much appreciated coming from one of the ponds most valued writers

| Please show me the way
Posted: 6/1/2008 5:37:38 PM | Come, take my hand, show me the way
To a place where the sun shines all day
Where babbling streams freely flow
Where delicate blooms flourish and grow
Where grasses sway on a gentle breeze
And blossom sprinkles from stately trees
Where exists only peace and happiness
And harmony, the soul to soothe and caress
Please take me I entreat you once again
To that special place where there is no pain
Where of pitiful sorrow there is no sign
Nothing to stab and bleed this heart of mine
That place where I can feel no more hurt
Where there is nothing at all to disconcert
Where the only tears shed are those of joy
Where nothing exists, my soul to destroy
Please take me away from all this torment
To a place where my heart will lay content
Find a pillow for my weary head to rest
Oh please listen to my heartfelt request
For I am tired of watching this suffering life
Full of grief, and pain, anger and strife
Please let my soul find peace once more
And heal these wounds I do thee implore

| These eyes no longer see
Posted: 6/2/2008 5:50:33 PM | These eyes no longer see
These eyes have seen too much
To much sorrow and pain
They have seen the worst of life
And things I can’t explain
They have looked upon a child
And seen the tears that fall
When that child battered and bruised
Lay waiting for God to call
And have seen a man writhe in pain
When disease his body did eat
I have seen the despair deep in his eyes
As he lay in anguish and defeat
I’ve seen the agony on a mother’s face
When her son was taken by war
I have seen the shadows of desolation
To know she’d hold him no more
I have seen a woman haunted by man
Seen her live in terror and fear
And with blows struck to the ground
Then again if she should shed a tear
These eyes have seen a man weep
His beloved taken too soon
Wishing to hold her just once more
As he howls beneath the moon
I have seen the evils of terrorism
Born of power and greed
There are no winners, only losers
Those left in the gutter to bleed
I have seen the destruction of war
The lives of innocents lost
All to save our future freedom
But who will count the cost
I have seen the freaks of nature
That causes a land to crumble
Earthquakes, floods and tidal waves
Crying, as over the dead we stumble
Yes these eyes have seen too much
My sight now gone and eyes do smart
Does this give me any peace not to see?
No, for I still see it all clear in my heart

Posted: 6/3/2008 6:46:15 AM | Good morning Ms. Serendipity....
We Must See
Things are placed before us
another wishes us to see
so that we can walk through this life
with a facet of self called humility
to humble us on our path
to appreciate not waste
to think before we succumb
never to act in haste
I've learned to find patience
to offer compassion to those who are lost
for I look around at my world that is in turmoil
to offer any semblance of peace I must
no matter to me the cost
so if my eyes should view
what may forever be engrained within my mind
then my belief is quite strong
that these images I was truly sent to find
to aid me spiritually
send me out to shed others light
try to banish engulfing darkness
take steps to make a future bright. | |

On Life's Journey
I have a dream
A greater man than I once said
And it rings true
In every book I have ever read
Without a dream
Nothing worthwhile was ever made
But in life it seems
Without a vision dreams must fade
Those Souls we meet
Who touch our lives and those we touch
Make our travels sweet
But without clear vision we don’t amount to much
This is our journey
As the mysteries of life we do unravel
’tis not the destination
that counts but how and why we travel.
Make your journey count
Reaching out a healing hand to all you meet
Lost souls are all around
Searching for meaning in life on every street
Some may never find
The truths you in your life hold in your heart
So always reach out
to those whose search needs a brand new start. | |

Had a couple of very gloomy weeks following the passing of a very close friend
My sadness flows to my hand on such occasions and it takes a while for my spirit to mend
Thank you

Yesterday a butterfly
Came floating gently through the sky.
He soared up through the atmosphere
Then drifted close enough to hear.
I said, "I'd love to fly with you
And sail around the way you do.
It looks like it would be such fun
To fly up toward the summer sun.
But I have not your graceful charm.
I haven't wings, just these two arms.
I've been designed to walk around.
My human feet must touch the ground.
Then magically he spoke to me
and told me what his wish would be.
He said, "What I'd love most to do
Is walk upon God's Earth with you,
To squish it's mud between my toes
Or touch my finger to my nose.
I'd love just once to walk around
With human feet to touch the ground,
But I have not two legs that swing,
I haven't arms, just these two wings."
And so we went our separate ways
In wonder and surprise.
For we'd both seen God's precious gifts
Through someone else's eyes.

For I am tired of watching this suffering life
Full of grief, and pain, anger and strife
Please let my soul find peace once more
And heal these wounds I do thee implore
...one eye penned for you last year
before you came south to the Tiger's Lair
RISING ABOVE IT ALL
I can't count the times because of him your heart's been broken
I have seen you hurt because of angry words he has spoken
But somehow you always knew there would be another dawning
Where you'd rise above it all like the sun on wings of morning
I have seen the pain that brought your eyes to overflowing
then I have seen that you had your own way of knowing
Through it all you could still see life the way it should be
Just waiting for a soul mate lover to help set you free
to hold you up when you thought you'd fall
so now you see you can rise above it all...
A long winter slipped through spring to summer's call
now the love we make will keep us rising above it all...
You've found that wandering tiger to share freedom of true love
One who knows that freedom you need to fly through skies above
Stand tall this weekend my darling and show them it's your call
Show them all that you can shake free of chains while the chips fall...

Posted: 6/5/2008 4:03:45 PM | | Hi Just *smiles* I have a dilemma..delemma...a problem *hehe* I wanted to write a poem to fit in to your name on here, but Im not sure what serendipity is. The meaning is elusive to me. Im still puzzling it out, but will do my best to leave something that lives up to the theme as soon as I get a good hold on it. God bless | |

Posted: 6/5/2008 5:51:27 PM | Serendipity is the effect by which one accidentally discovers something fortunate,
especially while looking for something else entirely. The word has been voted as one
of the ten English words that were hardest to translate in June 2004 by a British
translation company.[citation needed] However, due to its sociological use, the word
has been imported into many other languages (Portuguese serendipicidade or
serendipidade; French sérendipicité or sérendipité but also heureux hasard,
"fortunate chance"; Spanish serendipia; Italian serendipità; Dutch serendipiteit;
German Serendipität; Swedish, Danish and Norwegian serendipitet; Romanian
serendipitate).
...and my SO says I'm impossible to translate ... | |

Posted: 6/5/2008 7:51:31 PM | Serendipity
In general, serendipity is the act of finding something valuable or delightful when you are not looking for it. In information technology, serendipity often plays a part in the recognition of a new product need or in solving a design problem. Web surfing can be an occasion for serendipity since you sometimes come across a valuable or interesting site when you are looking for something else.
The term was coined by English writer Horace Walpole on January 28, 1754, in a letter written to Horace Mann. He credited it to a "silly fairy tale" he once read called 'The Three Princes of Serendip'.
According to the fairy tale, three Persian princes sailed off to make their fortunes in the "land of silk", an island called Serendip . (Today, the island is known as Sri Lanka.) Along the way, the princes made all types of wondrous and delightful discoveries about the island, and learned things they never expected. One such learning was purported to be the discovery that a mule blind in its right eye had recently traveled the same road. This was discovered when they noticed that the grass had been eaten only on the left side of the road.
The term is also sometimes used to mean "the randomness of fate," as in "whatever happens to cross my desk today."
Quotations on serendipity
* "In the field of observation, chance favours only the prepared mind." Louis Pasteur
* "I find that a great part of the information I have was acquired by looking up something and finding something else on the way." (Franklin P. Adams, 1881-1960)
* "Serendipity. Look for something, find something else, and realize that what you've found is more suited to your needs than what you thought you were looking for." Lawrence Block
* "Serendipity is looking in a haystack for a needle and discovering a farmer's daughter." Pek van Andel
* "Serendipity is putting a quarter in the gumball machine and having three pieces come rattling out instead of one—all red." Peter H. Reynolds
* "--- you don't reach Serendib by plotting a course for it. You have to set out in good faith for elsewhere and lose your bearings ... serendipitously." John Barth, The Last Voyage of Somebody the Sailor
* "Serendipity is the art of making an unsought finding." Pek van Andel (1994)
• "Serendipity is the faculty of finding things we did not know you were looking for." Glauco Ortolano (2008)
And my SO says he was in the haystack looking for the farmers wife when he found me

| Sea Song
Posted: 6/7/2008 12:24:02 AM | Sea Song
Your unique sea song makes me wonder
Cresting waves embraced by thunder
As it roars and soars across the plains
Steadily counting our losses and gains
We give it all, each day at dawns light
We do not fade under the spell of night
Shadows cannot lay us low nor subdue
Sunlight always rises to pull us through
Even when darkness falls, bringing pain
We pick ourselves up and start over again.
Searching for light and more understanding
Lessons teach that us truth is undemanding
We peruse the starlit skies as they climb
Gaze upon the beauty of night sublime
And see it’s all a part of this infinite plan
That fate bestowed when our life began
Do the best we can and give it our all
And patiently listen for that vital call
We each have a place where we belong.
So carry on singing your unique sea song
Dippity | |

Posted: 6/7/2008 7:00:09 PM | I didn't find what I was looking for
the day that I found you
you walked into my life when
I wasn't looking it's true
some things we find we don't expect
which makes it kind of hard to see
how could I find someone like us
when I wasn't even looking for me
I had to close my searching eyes
to see what I couldnt behold
to win your love I had to be weak
when I had always been bold
I had to close the door to my heart
for you to step inside
I had to stop my seeking
to see where you did hide
so now I face a problem
I'm not sure what to do
what will we tell our children
when they ask just who caught who? | |

Posted: 6/8/2008 3:42:07 AM | I just love it whyspr, it's fantastic and I just love the twist in the last verse.
You have done me proud
 
Came across a photo of a body builder which inspired this one.
Had too many rippling muscles for my taste though
My Gentle Lover
Majestically you stand before me
Sure and proud in all your naked glory
Sun kissed body, glistening gold
Caped in magnetism, beckoning and bold
Bronzed chest, mighty with energy
Hercules personified, raging potency
Rippling muscles like shivering sands
An intensity of strength in your hands
A body that exudes infinite power
A torso like an inviolable tower
Long, lean, virile muscular thighs
A vision to stir my rebellious eyes
But yet when those arms enfold me
Caress my body, slowly, tenderly
With such warm, loving embrace
Trailing sweet kisses across my face
And you softly whisper in my ear
The words of love I long to hear
With feathery touches upon my skin
Gazing with eyes in reverent longing
You lay beside me on silken down
And cover me with your golden gown
And it is with delight that I discover
My strong ‘he man’ is a gentle lover

Posted: 6/8/2008 5:42:13 AM | If I had not
allowed my eyes to see
a treasure hidden far away
truly it would never have come to be
many would not have searched
complained that journey would be too long
yet it glistened to me far off in that distance
I knew to my hand it did belong
so travel did I many miles
to place this treasure before my eyes
such beauty it possessed in every facet
of it's rarity there could be no disguise
hold this treasure called love
I did so tightly to my breast
forever now it has it's place
within my depths eternally it shall rest. | |
