Best Intentions Poems

~~~~~~~~

wanted to shelter you
keep you from harm
erase all your pain
extend loving arms
offer my warmth
under winged canopy
escape for one moment
and be...

you and me

Dragon is such an adorable and, yes, kindhearted, dear, little soul.
But he has a few, very, important lessons, that he has yet to learn.
Like what he can do to help our the birdies, we feed in these tales.
Temperatures plummeted deeply down, as the wind blew...

Night skies bend through fading light 
spectrum hints of prodigy pale might 
restless moons hold her penchant still 
burning up in an ever aching sky  till 

Forehead to forehead wonderments lie 
stargazes trapped among cinnamon eyes 
dance naked amid sensual tips of desire 
fires...

False Intentions


It wasn’t my intentions to fall for you…
just wanted some company
but more than a quickie
I guess we can’t be friends
to her you should tend
There were some feelings I was feelin’
so I had to build that “so-called wall”
I’m not mad at you but I’m mad...

here is my rose
my heart on a stem
a gentle whisper
a soft caress
a murmur bent on a melody
a sparkle in the night
sweetest perfume
to catch your attention
a kiss blown your way
a playful wink
under a full moon
a siren's call

Fixing holes with good intentions.


Lions and tigers,
Dolphins and earthquakes.
Liars with cider,
Have nothing to say.


Animals and insects,
Bugs for breakfast.
Mammals need sex,
So find true love and get wed.


Life is a milk tray;
Oh behave!
Nothing left to say,
So gonna leave to get paid.


Fortune tellers remain silent.
Two moon sellers, offer...

She’s asleep and does not hear
The creaks and shuffles entering in,
Corners stand in contrast to
The figures moving ‘round.

Darkness is a bleak covering for
eyes covered and enshrouded,
Stealthily they stand in shadows,
Plotting their misdeeds.

Slowly turning from the depth
Of sleep which surrounds,
Ill attuned to her physical world,
Unlimited dreamscapes...

Snapping beans, the summer pastime
Filling Mason jars
With cornfield or half runners
Filling a crock with layers
Of beans and corn, canning salt
For pickled beans and corn
That would make my mouth water

Peeling ripe red tomatoes
That I called maters
Cutting them in wedges
Placing them in Mason jars
Adding a touch of...

Lost in the Conscience Labyrinth
He dragged his wishes from silence.
Time showed it's magical smile,
Somewhat ironic, yet fair,
And let him spin around it's journey.
Some dreams were not followed,
As sand he held on hands, 
Instead of stones.
Never learned to seperate
An oasis from a real lake,
So he was...

The song wafted through the air,
scent of lurid happiness and
seductive sway beneath the veneer,
intermingling in their ears and
drew them together,
cast aside their fears
as they came close he whispered
in her ear...

Tears welled up, the dam broke
and they fell silently down her soft cheeks

three words she had...

Hungry in all direction's
Hence this Redemption is

    In the achievement
             Of the
Magnitude of His blessings'

Vigilante wannabe
Intentions always good
Lost causes are his nemesis
Loyalty his strength
Abysmally annoying
Gauche socially to say the least
Egomaniac~ there’s one in every village

Blind Sight

-Meghan C. Hutchings

Have you really looked at me,
Beyond my skin so pale?
Do you know my deepest thoughts,
The secrets that I veil?

Have you really looked at her,
Beyond her skin, light brown?
Do you know her hopes and dreams, 
The pain behind her frown?

Have you really looked...

You can’t want it
More than they do

Stop meddling
You’re not helping

When they clearly
Don’t want your help

I understand
It’s inconceivable
That they refuse
To be as happy as you

It’s one of life’s mysteries
How some would rather
Wallow in their misery

Stop meddling

You can’t want it
More than they do
