Elysiums Lost MelodyIn dreams of yonder, wishes wistfully conceive,
A cradle of lost tomorrows, where shadows sway;
To a realm unseen, where hearts believe,
Past where twilight’s lulling lullabies lay,
A world where reverie and reality secretly play.
Through the veil of verity…
…Aisling nocturnally creates,
Mountains of...

Melody of a Forgotten GenerationWe are a Melody,
We are what no one can see.
We sing together in perfect harmony,
We rise and fall,
Our souls are big but sometimes small.
The evils haven't caught us all.
Not many of us are left,
Over the ones who perished we have wept.
But we knew the cards...

Mermaid MelodyI was submerged in
an ocean
of rants,
hiding the sparkles
of my
poetic
planktons.
My meaningless
phrases
that meant
everything,
but
nothing and anything
at the same...

Preserved MelodyOn a smoky grey October dusk
ensnared by a timeless musk
my heart met those dulcet tides
mellows engulfing it in strides.
A frivolous soul I'd always been
a quarter of this world I'd seen
yet the universe felt strikingly adrift
my spirits looking for a stellar shift.
I stumbled upon an obsolete...

MelodyCompose a melody of all that makes you strong.
First, sing it for yourself; then give the world your song.

Melody of Sadness
A saddening song swishes subtly in the bitter breeze,
Mad mournful music meets me everywhere I move,
Like a dolorous dirge drumming through the dark;
Wistful winds wearily bring to mind stinging salt drops,
All energy expended in trying to make sense of this...

The Death of a MelodyIt’s been two years, three months, and twenty days
since tender music left my life for good
and turned my days to somber shades of grey
which left a shadow where a man once stood.
The faded notes of yesterday’s duets
still echo in the canyons of my soul,
and...

The Melody of LoveLove plays different melodies..
Music to which lovers respond..
Instrumental, is the harp,
the flute, and the drum.
Listen with your ears, for
your heart may skip a beat
.
Listen with your eyes,eyes will
always see.
Hear with your whole being,
the melody of love.
The...

Yesteryear's MelodyA melody from yesteryear
Plays softly on the wind--
A mix of myrrh and honey,
A wistful sweet and bitter blend.
Fond memories of bygone days,
Of long departed friends.
Of hollyhocks and lilacs,
A reverie that never ends.
A vision of a one-room school
Set in a woodland glade--
Of children playing joyfully
There...

The Melody of SpringThe Melody of Spring
The pat, pat, pat of tears from icicles
Falling on the breast of Mother Earth
Are music to my ears.

birds wake up flowers
through dawn's gentle rise
wings caress velvet tulips ...
humming birth of leaves

A Sweet MelodySunshine smiles on butterflies
That flutter by the rose
Their crimson petals mesmerize
As their fragrance they impose
Clouds float by, puffy and proud
As they slowly change their hue
And with gray they enshroud
A sky that once boasted blue
A squirrel laughs...

Sweet Morning Dew DropsDew, to Dawn, to Dusk, to Dust: (pause)
A sacred cycle turns while love endures.
At dawn's first light for I am beside you.
Where my soul finds peace and rest
In your presence there are fears, like fallen leaves.
Are truly comforted and blessed.
Within your eternal heart,
My love's fervent...
