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 LOVE
To Be Cont.
With LOVE ALWAYS and FOREVER, YOUR Liege…HG

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 environments
An eerie silence
Approaching from the shadows
Cloaked in mystery.
Fearless by nature
Radiant energy bounds
An essence of one
Playful and naughty
Shadows of monsters lurking
Elected by force
A challenge to live
Surviving in modern days
Resilient by far.

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
For the world to know those words are mine
Two rainbows for luck
Praying I don't really suck
Sometime soon everything will turn out fine
I find inspiration in many ways
Writing till the end of my days
The stars will align
Revealing sublime
Masterpieces never only a phase
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 by siblings divided
Worlds apart their loyalties tried
Enchanting descriptions of a world apart
Removed from reality
Still within its embrace
An epic tale of adventure
Thousands of pages
To tell its full tale
A beautiful story
An original, truly one of a kind
Wanting the story to continue
For the characters journeys
To not be through
To pick up where we left off
Sailing through the seas
In search of answers
Of treasure
And more
Twins who were once sheltered
Exposed to untold dangers
Denied the truth
To who they are
Centuries of time
Riddled with tales
Of more than just the twins
Conner and Grace
But alas the tale is done
With their unusual stories
Left swinging in limbo
So onto the next one

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 what I know is right

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

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

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.

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 fears are faced..
A tug of war between a sin and a mistake, the lightest of touch still keeps them awake.. I hibernate behind all that was once innocent, only to trip and fall without repent..
A glimpse caught in mirrored fragments
Shadowed relevance in distant elements
Reckless thoughts forming fractured lines
A lifetime of poetic prowess redefines..
By Shannon Deane & Michael J Falotico
"Fragments and crumbs of life, all the little pieces"
John Ruskin, 1853
I knew in the beginning
What I wanted in life
Where my writing might take me
Where I might end up
Only plans change direction
Paths change course, unwanted
When passion burns bright
It can set your heart free
Life's greatest triumphs and tragedies
Remain alive in our memories
Forever etched among my pages
Statements impacting others
To more than just survive
Wipe clean the subconscious slate
Prepare to be inspired by life's events
And the importance of all the little pieces
"I believed that life began when you believed in yourself"

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 to remember
Won 1st. place

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 my favorite I think
Disappearing with nothing more than a wink
Alice's adventures written on many pages
Dreams and reality coming in stages
Wishing for my own Wonderland
To live within the story would be ever so grand
