Best Patiently Poems
Love waits,
patiently,
for those who dare to dream,
and envision what their future can be
while waiting for their spirit to be set free.
Suspended between sunray and moonbeam,
time stands still,
as they anticipate nature’s will
together,
-forever-
together,
as they anticipate nature’s will,
time stands still,
suspended between sunray and moonbeam.
While waiting for their spirit to be set free,
and envision what their future can be,
for those who dare to dream,
patiently,
love waits.

Oh my beloved,
this life can be confusing.
A plethora of recycled emotions,
sometimes result in false devotions.
Absence wounds with nostalgic reflections.
Secluded souls yearning for old satisfactions.
Oh my sweetheart,
sometimes we feel like trees in Autumn,
exposed to the harshness of an apathetic Winter.
We battle the storms, remaining defiant until Spring.
Virgin petals bloom among protective thorns in Summer.
Only a true lover knows how to cultivate in the garden of love.
Oh my darling,
you remain hidden behind stubborn veils
and even though I'm deprived of such pleasures,
patiently my eyes wait for one glimpse of heaven.
The stars are no substitute to illuminate my desires.
The moon lacks mystery in comparison to your elegance.
Oh my lover,
my lips yearn to taste forbidden nectar.
My heart envies those who breathe upon you.
My hands seem empty without a hand to hold
My eyes disinterested by this monotonous existence.
My speech disillusioned with oxymoron contradictions.
A sad soul searches among an abundance of cherry blossom trees,
to unite with a unique rose resembling a titanium chrysalis.
Upon this path of desperation, a true heart has no fear,
life is a trial with many an adversity,
the one who prevails, is the victor.

Simple Musings
May the wisdom of the serpent be thine,
Close to the earth, as it lives on the ground.
Into the forest, we follow the hind,
Knowledge surrounds all, waiting to be found.
Secretly I sit, silently in awe,
Captivated by all the breathing trees,
Esoteric in nature, I see more,
Against my face, I feel the warmest breeze.
Time stands still when you're sitting on a hill,
I drift off into a deep calming spell,
My soul is replenished, it’s gained its fill,
As if I've taken a drink from youths’ Well.
Those secrets that fall from heavenly heights,
Are gathered by those who turn on their lights.

Upon the seas there sails a mighty ship
Her hold is weighted down with precious gold
She sails across the wide and surging sea
Alas! so dark and stormy is the sea
The men in fear and quaking grip the ship
The waves have no regard for chests of gold
While sailors try to lift the load of gold
The hull is damaged further by the sea
And rocks of distant shores have crushed the ship
Now lies the ship and gold beneath the sea
_ Form is both tritina and iambic pentameter _
windy ocean shore
covered with sand and seashells
waiting for the tide
A friend to her, for decades
from the innocence of children
to the adventures of teenagers
and even the stupidity of best friends
all well shared and enjoyed
to a point the gods ask why the wait
and beg for the next level.
He sees all the possibilities
to make her the care-taker of his heart.
Thinking he's the only one with eyes open
he made his confession
attached with an honest recommendation
to his amazement
she looked at him and said
"you are so nice, but like a brother to me'.
Switching to the next damsel
who's no where near cold
but soft, tender, meek and charming.
He allows her control the pace
and lets her gentleness maintain the tempo.
Feeds her with poems
and makes her drunk with happiness
with hopes going higher, reaching the moon
she looked at him and said
"sorry! I am not yet ready".
He jumped into the next wagon
having an available space for a beauty
and meets a potential 'second half'
pretty, quiet and an introvert.
Worships her right from day one
letting lose the net of affection,
half in magnitude of his efforts
will strike the tenderness of a millepede
but it got her scared as she looked at him and said
"I just had a heart break; I'm so sorry"
Watering a fresh new flower
growing in a familiar garden just close by,
makes him grow in creativity
as he engage in constant words exchange
and creating wonderful serenity around her.
Huge investments and time well spent
coupled with passionate research
in equipping his machinery of jokes and laughter
sums up his passion and carefulness
in his latest trial which seems worthy of the medal.
Constant updates on his outlook
and becoming the number one specimen for fashion
were not enough as she looked at him and said
"You still have no swag"
So many disappointments
made him stronger, wiser and smarter
not even a forest of wild beast
will make him turn his back
to the beauty and escapades of life.
The moment he tried to pause,
the period he wanted to take a nap;
the Queen bee passed by.
A simple hi and a conversation
led to series of memorable meetings,
having in mind, the worst is a "no"
and her welcoming countenance,
a proof to nothing yet,
he asked with no expectation in mind
then she looked at him and said
"Yes! Sweet heart. I want to be your girl"
Jesus Patiently Waits For YOU!
Satan comes to take everything!
And destroy!
To rob you of you of any
happiness and joy!
He’ll take the beautiful things
God made…
To lure you into sin and bondage…
Like a slave!
He’ll twist God’s truth,
any way he can!
So God’s word—
you won’t understand.
You’ll end up shattered,
tormented and confused.
Perhaps feeling alone, neglected
and abused.
Jesus is here now! Waiting at
your heart’s door!
Won’t you let him in?
What are you waiting for?
He’s promised to give you,
everlasting life!
He’ll remove all sin, guilt,
sorrow and strife!

When you met this girl I was broken and lonely
I trusted no man, had no 'one and only'
You gave me attention, compassion, and laughter
The safety that I was so desperately after
The days turned to weeks
The weeks into years
We held onto eachother
Through all of the hardships and tears
With my broken trust and shattered dreams
I never feared you'd give up on me
Through love and compassion all finds repair
So I want you to know that I'll always be there
If the ship should sail rough
And the waves sweep us under
I won't let go and watch you drift under
We've always won when on the same team
And you'll never understand just what your love means
In my heart you're my forever, my always, 'the one'
Even if we're apart my love won't be undone
God gave you to me to light up the way
And guard me from rain on the dark stormy days
And if my memory is stolen from old age
And the days turn to darkness, the photos all fade
The one thing that will always stay is my love
When my heart stops beating I'll love up from above
They always say actions speak louder than words
But those people were probably heartbroken girls
And my heart no longer breaks it's just patiently waiting
Devoting my love and then proudly stating
I'm not angry or bitter, I'm completely transparent
No need to go on because it's clear and apparent
I won't be resentful you won't see me crying
Because I was already saved by a love that's undying
Come in sit down relieve your soul awhile
And let me help bring peace back to your mind
I’m sure for you there is an extra smile
My heart as always trying to be kind
You know how much I really care for you
Your happiness is all I care about
For you I do the things that I go through
To be your haven free from worldly doubt
I’m sorry please forgive the tears you see
It hurts to see new bruises that you bring
Sometimes our love and reason disagree
Be patient and perhaps your love will sing
For now just close you eye and drift to sleep
I’ll sing some songs sweet memories I keep
Dried up surroundings
Everything barren and dead
Under winter shroud
Yet life is alive beneath
Patiently waits to sprout forth
You fall into despair on a black rivers dream
Life so it was not going as easily as it did seem
The corner of a shadow screeches silently of doom
The thought of sanity was a wilted hearts bloom
Forever and a day flees as far as the eye can see
Happiness falls flat as it always shall be
Scantily clad joy loose its eternal glow
The shoulder of love is as cold as the artic snow
Inner peace is bewildered upon the scripts of the one
A nightmare approaches upon the tears of the sun
A perilous journey fails fast and is begotten by all
The soul waits patiently beyond the time of nightfall
When I look at you my mind runs
uncontrollably with the thoughts of my lips
gravitating towards yours.
My heart races with pulsing frantic
romantic feelings just waiting to embrace
you with repetitious love.
While my passion burns inside so wildly
knowing that the moment is growing
near for me to hold you in my arms and
gaze into the depth of the window to
your soul.
Waiting patiently for
you to let go your
emotional desires.
The anticipation of
being with you sends goose bumps of
bliss and joy.
Because our love for one
another is and will always
be unconditional.
Until then my love, may our love be
captured as a motion picture with
beautiful heavenly music singing the
tune of our inspirational feeling.

SHE PATIENTLY AWAITS...
In memory of the teen Amber Dubois and
by Donna Newton 2010
C linging to the special memories as
if silently creating a shrine,
Adding to them many more that at
the time was just simply life
I t is belief that you are in a better
place because where you
are is in God's loving grace,
and even though we believe
this too, Evil still got through
our protecting you
M y soul is hollow, cold with grief
I am consumed by the tears
that run rivers deep, and while
guilt fights to thaw this
overwhelming grief,
my parental obligation
is not yet complete,
as my surviving children
need a mom to be here
for them until they
too move on
S o it is here and now Lord
I call upon my faith
as the pain has made me weak...
dear heavenly father please
grant me strength to continue
life's journey now without
my angel's face
I ask of you Father please
keep a close watch as my
baby is now alone..
And however long it takes
she will patiently wait
to be reunited with mommy
As we walk through your
heavenly gates
PATIENTLY
there is unfinished business in my dreams
there is much longing without sleep
i'm always late
but still you wait
there is unfinished business in my dreams
and this is the ecstasy of a poem unwritten
