Details | Rhyme | Words of Love Words of love have many spills, harboring heartbreaks in their chills, Birds of song upon yonder hills, singing sorrows amongst the daffodils… We get lost within adoration, whirlpools drowning waters of flirtation, Debris of love in mutation, with pendulous promises in rapid rotation… Sunny days that slowly fade, lovers lost amidst their sentiment shade, Honeydews that have been sprayed, only dilute as they stand decayed… Whispers of love that evaporate, as the malevolent minds do magistrate, Twisters surround and obliterate, the love we once had we watch deflate.

Details | Free verse | A Voice In the Wilderness Suitcase in hand, a face polarized against the frosted window pane, searching verily for continuity of a life that knew no restraint. Someone’s Grandfather a considerate Uncle, life’s situation upon the wane, a link within the prejudicial chain of forfeited souls. One’s transitions ablaze in the haze, an index to summarize each hiatus gaze, grappling to come to terms with this enforced deed of human kindness. Guided by caring hands, assembled around the room each demising chair, filled tidily with expressions of doom and gloom, here where silence specifies many words, and lifelong sentiment never heard. Yet I see an old man in remembrance of his youth — worth listening to if allowed to speak!* *Thank you Richard Lamoureux. for the inspiration and line. © Harry J Horsman 2019

Details | Quatrain | The Faded Shade A sentimental sentiment Is part of my prevailing mood; A consequential condiment To my exquisite interlude. A perfect penetration made Within experience sublime Eliminates the faded shade That marks the tragedy of time. I stand alone in private thought (euphoric on this earthen day) receiving all that I have sought as proud production comes my way. To find serene serenity Inside this simple mind of mine Brings forth a pure tranquility Refined by light within to shine. Achieved with solitary ease A state of bliss I now have found; Resigned to bliss, consigned to please, A soul transcendent and profound. I thank the teaching of the muse Who then, in gentle quietude, Committed to me rules to use Applied and tried in solitude. A man set free from pain and tears As vectors changed within life's flight; Then love's sweet peace replaced his fears With clarity of perfect sight.

Details | Rhyme | I HOPE I HAVE BEEN WORTH IT My mom and dad fought in World War 2 They made it home…which is every soldiers aim I didn’t know them before their war but I imagine they didn’t come back the same. I had friends who were drafted…and Vietnam is where they fought some of them made it home…some of them did not. I have never been to war..never once stood at attention or at ease… so I can’t imagine the fear in war one feels and horrors in a war one sees. When I see someone who is fighting or has fought in war I want to let them know I’m grateful…but I’m always a little nervous I don’t want to put them on the spot.. So I usually say, “Thank you for your service.” But, ‘thank you for your service’ never seems to be enough and I’m sure they’ve heard this sentiment a thousand times before… so I’ve always wished I could come up with a little something more Until today when I heard a man in the store addressing a veteran with what I hope is the perfect form of blessing: He said to the veteran…thank you for your service… which, as I said, in most cases would suffice… but then he added I want you to know I try my best to be worth your sacrifice. So I hope I have the courage each time I see a veteran to take this man’s sentiment…and every time rebirth it…. To thank him or her for their service… then look them in the eye and say I hope I have been worth it.

Details | Rhyme | A Place For You See it through for what it is Don't let sentiment be anything but new Events fall hand over fist From mountains of distance with no point of view Between talking about and having done There will be a place for you If the future should come to pass Y'know, most likely, well I'll be long, long gone Live suddenly then follow Though better sense might say stay at home When certainty becomes all but the rule There will be a place for you When you've been pushed so overdrawn, exposed You would thank the stars for a place of your own How with the salt in your eyes Will you see me when all of the clouds are gone 'May take the white noise of lies To recover your poise n' your passion When certainty becomes all but the rule And inaction would be the way of a fool Between making a fuss and pressing on There will be a place for you

Details | Metrical Tale | A Gardener To Greens The land you grow on is His, As water is, sunlight is; And I'm but a care keeper And claim to be no owner, I raise crops blest by His bliss… He says, heart gone to each plant, Each makes him feel so pleasant He strokes them with tender hands, Two long-lost souls as old friends— A friendship that feels no lent! Wishes well, fruits and flowers, Admires beauty of bowers, To fresh buds, fragrant blossom, With praise ever so handsome, And keen advice he showers: A season there’s to mature, Heed to haste nor waste, be sure— Enemies that kill childhood, Cherish, long as lasts and good, It helps old age to endure, Nor wither before your time Ere your growth reaches its prime, He walks on to feel young fruits: Never miss to thank your roots, Growth’s fine, but roots only rhyme. Seeds and leaves as do all else, Each its success story tells, Ungrateful O never be, Be a proud offspring of tree, Bear in mind till ring loud bells. And whilst gardener's wards nodded, A pregnant breeze, yon, wafted: His nature is to nurture, Not to heed, Nature’s nature, Rare if advice is heeded. __________________________________ Musings | 03.03.16 | Poet’s Notes: With loving hands and heart a gardener nurtures a garden. He treats greens as living beings, as they really are, and tends to counsel them with well-meaning words. But even from my not so sound knowledge of gardening I know: not to heed humans is Nature’s nature, a sentiment that reflects in the last two lines of this poem.

Thank You for defending me as You drive my faithfulness By propelling me to come into Your righteousness Truly guiding me through Your counsels’ truthfulness Indeed compassing me with Your favor’s pleasantness. Thank You for defending me as You heal my sin-ailment By forgiving me with Your mercy’s fulfillment Truly rebuking me not in Your anger’s sentiment Indeed delivering me from spoiling with Your loving chastisement.

Details | Free verse | Prom Night Encounter As I dance my way around the room, mingling freely here and there, a stranger approaches as I say hello to a friend nearby. "Are you here with a date," she asks. To which I reply that I'm not. "Then dance with my friend!" I think to myself, and say aloud, "Sure, why not?" And with nothing more than that and an introduction, the night begins. We dance to the beat of music I don't listen to, we dance along using moves I don't know, and we dance in a place where we can barely hear each other, and yet, we dance on into this remarkable night, flawlessly. Curvaceous hips sway before me, flowing in silk and shimmering in white. A dazzling smile flashes across my view, gorgeous and quick to show. Shining brown eyes flutter and suck me in, glittering at every meeting with mine. Velvety arms draw me tighter to her, beckoning me on in these heavenly revels. My pulse quickens and draws to a halt, time standing still for these glorious moments. I wish it could just go on for good, this night of mystical entrancement. Alas, such is not to be, and she prepares to vanish, like a ghost that was never truly there. I lean in close and say, "Well. Even if you're about to leave, I think you are quite lovely, and I want to thank you for a wonderful night." She returns the sentiment, and onward we dance, to song's end, and to a reluctant parting. As she turns away with not a further word, I stop her with a gentle tug of her hand, and kiss it softly goodbye. She graces me once more with that eager, blessed smile, and then is no more, an ephemeral memory forevermore.
