Best Deane Poems

Could YOUR Heart, hold all the TEARS; that Life has shed in LOVE
Would YOU Gallantly suffer, Sorrow, for the Memory of Eternal LOVE
Should YOU empty an Ocean of Tears to revive YOUR Everlasting LOVE
Does YOUR mind Reminisce, about the First Kiss, igniting the Flame of...

A wizard of wild
Seasonal changes his world 
Sly and cunning games

Open fields are home 
To always play till days end 
Hunting more than sport

A flash of movement
Traces of his whereabouts 
Are scarcely a trail.

Magician of beast
Blending one within his own
Timeless enchantment

A graceful harshness
A beautiful wilderness
Harsh...

Day gives in to night
Crimson hues paint the sky
A kiss from Heaven

If you can find me, you'll know where I am
Face in a book, quiet as a lamb
Matter not where I sit down
If I look like a clown
Writing for self preservation I am

Waiting for my star to shine...

Busy reading a curious series 
Wrapped in the fantasy 
Written within it's covers
A story of Vampirates

A complex tale of lives entwined 
Destiny shaped before life 
Journeys embarked upon
While sailing the open seas

Set in a time ahead of now 
Throughout the past plays it's part
Challenges faced...

Who is that staring back at me
Go away on the count of three
Do I know who you are
Can I wish upon a star
Questions of who I should be

Not just demons do I fight
Thoughts drift easily through the night
Myself against me 
Trying to break free
To do...

When I was girl
Many a moon and season
Love was fairy tales 

A challenge at best
Yet fun to frolic with love
A season to create
Masterpieces from within
Patiently waiting for fun

Released from my heart and soul
A forget me not of phrases
Combinations of my words
Poetry in life

Cancer is the sign
Zodiac born into being
Moods captured with words

Trusting the tide
Water is my element
A part of my soul

Crabs shelter their home
Hard top shell, soft heart below
Sensitive I am

Twelve months in the year
Horoscopes all around us
Cancer is my sign

Excitement bubbles throughout the air
Delighted to see so many there
A chance to meet three 
Passionate like me
Welcoming sweethearts who believe that's rare


Inspired by three individuals who have welcomed me to Poetry Soup with open arms, 
love and support, thank-you for everything.

Shannon Deane, James Fraser, Linda-Marie...

Mirrored Fragments 

Awakened thoughts finally faced, familiarity of days retraced..
In the  depth of one soul a whisper is seldom seen, a peaceful plea in a passive scream..
Clarity magnified between the words etched..
An imagination pushing boundaries far fetched..
Welcome minds madness once misplaced..
Where demons lurk and...

Alice was her name, the girl in the story
A Journey of self worth and unwanted glory

Although from what I have been told 
The story was just beginning to unfold

Many characters could write their own book
Amazing lives to be seen, come take a look

The Cheshire cat...

Where we hail home, our native land
The sun rises in the east
Our harsh winters here
Make the sun impossible to beam

Come winter's end 
When everyone emerges
To welcome in the spring
The sunrise is brilliant 

From one extreme to the next
Through winter's cold 
And spring's stare
My sunrise is...
