Best Shone Poems
Lilac lavender leaves fluttered ethereally
over the smooth sea of the placid lake.
A shimmer of light shone over the calm waves,
as they rolled silently and collectively
towards the sandy shore now lit
by the rising of the amber full moon.
Wave after wave composed
a lyrical enchanting melody
played by the rising orb.
The leaves formed fragrant shapes
emulating the grandness of the scene.
In the gathering darkness two lovers
heard the alluring symphony
and felt each other entwined
in a dance of love as the moon
in a dreamy crescendo shone
brightly evermore.
Until the eclipse took place.
Then it hummed no more that night.
When the sun shone half the night
And the daffodils were blue,
Every door had not a key
And the tallest tale was true—
It was then that you loved me,
And I loved you.
When we flew string without a kite
And many bunnies turned to few,
When all the stars above could see
And life would come to things you drew—
It was then you cared for me,
And I for you.
When backward turned the hands of time
And water flowed upstream,
When laughs and hiccups hurt a flea
And life was just a dream—
‘Twas then you lived for me
And I for thee.
When blueblood horses cost a dime
And shadows went beneath the ground,
When coffee beans made only tea
And golden nuggets laid around—
‘Twas then I heard the sound
Of “I love you.”
E’er since the moment time reversed
My tale of woe I have rehearsed,
In case you’d recognize my face
And listen for a while with grace,
Then let me take you to that place—
That place where time is dead.
Ten thousand kisses I’ll repeat,
Which dreaming laid upon your feet—
That’s how I’ve worshiped you.
And every tender word I’ve said
For all these years to empty air,
I guess I’ll have to say again,
This time into your curly hair.
I really don’t know what’s to blame
For how you drifted far away;
I only hope you’ll feel the same,
And that we’ll meet again someday
Both find our way to that special place.
Where the sun shines half the night
And the daffodils are blue,
Every door has not a key
And the tallest tale is true—
For only there can you love me
Like I love you.
Where we’ll fly string without a kite…
A star shone bright in Eastern sky
two thousand years ago
as angels sang their hymns on high
to let the whole world know.
They sang their praise, their greeting bring
as bells in heaven start to ring
They sang their praise…
They sang their praise
to Jesus Christ the Savior King.
A star shone bright in Eastern sky
while shepherds in the fields
watched o’er their flock with mindful eye
as good news was revealed.
They heard the hymns the angels sang
down on their knees the shepherds sprang
They heard the hymns…
they heard the hymns
as bells in heaven softly rang.
A star shone bright in Eastern sky,
gave signal to the world
that Christ child lie in crib nearby;
the future was unfurled.
He came to earth amid the din
and mankind’s journey did begin
He came to earth…
He came to earth
to save us from our deadly sin.

Way To Success God Had Shone
Instead of being bare to the bone,
And also by myself and left alone;
Bothered being;
Not worth seeing;
Wish way to success God had shone.
Jim Horn
Woods Shone White In the Moonlight
The woods shine white in the moonlight, with
Smells and sounds drifting through the night
A shift of moonlight illuminates the shivering leaves
As they spin and turn hanging tightly to its branches
Pools of shadows cast across the ground
Giving the whole place a haunting feeling of dread
Silence starts my heart to pound fast
Numb with fear, I draw my knees up close to my chest
Resting my hand upon my knees, laying my head down upon them wearily,
Hearing a sound, I freeze drawing a short breath, then rise to my feet to see
Moving cautiously, branches creak and leaves rattle in flight
As a sharp breeze springs up slicing through the autumn night.
Hiding from the faint glimmer of the moon keeping in the shadows
Hoping that the blackness around me will leave soon
Weak with fear, tears trickle down my cheeks as the night dies
The rising sun brings streaks of blue skies and prayers of thank you

A lonely star shone one night;
By a grave, he stood all alone in white.
The muffled sounds of a laughter gone so soon blew near
With whistles of a heart’s solemnest thoughts,
And, thus, he discovered that
He was not alone:
A lonely star shone one night!
Sun shone again.
When the tears refused to fall,
And the sun decided to shine,
The rain would not fall,
Coz the sky was a big blue field.
Her dams were all dry,
Like wildfire the warmth spread,
The pain in a heart… a distant ache,
‘Twas blurred under the blanket
Of renewed hope.
Withered hope watered to life,
By all the love heaped upon her,
The smiles around her all true,
Chasing away the gloom and urging her to rise.
She held her breath and waited,
For the tears to fall yet again,
But fall again they would not
The sun in her life dried them up.
She tried to shield her eyes from the glare,
But it just shone on and on and on,
Into her cocoon of tears she could not enter
And all the corners of her life were lit up.
Eventually the tears were buried away,
Painful memories a distant past
Her present a warm place to be
Full of life and new colors all bright.
Sheathed in holsters from fire to ice,
holding burning through the freezing oceans,
and freezing through the blazing skies.
The pain I have felt, from these scars,
these past horrors, from the beginning
these are my stars,
my freezing oceans and burning skies,
and I let them shine with you,
I let them shine with no one but you.
See my flares lighting up the pitch black sky,
dyes of red, yellow and blue all calling out to beckon you.
My dear I bow before you a man who is torn in half,
ripped apart from his other half, without you,
let me join, so we together can light up the pitch black sky.
Blissful light, truest love,
fiery warmth all stemming
from the healing, I get from you.
Ripping lies, tripping highs, missing ties,
these are here to give me truth peace
and closing my loose ends,
my loose ends all tied up in one loop,
locking back up, turning to,
and starting each day with you.
Call me loudly, hug me tightly,
kiss me one more time.
Let me love you.
Trust me, when I say I will marry you,
listen closely as I preach my undying love for you.
So call me in the pitch black night,
and the blindingly bright day,
hold me in your fear, and hold me in your tears,
let your dreams tell of my feelings for you,
so you know you can let go with me.
Hold on to the love you know,
so you can speak, so you can seek,
so you can leak out the truth in your mind,
so you can say I love you too
Sheathed in holsters from fire to ice,
holding burning through the freezing oceans,
and freezing through the blazing skies.
The pain I have felt, from these scars,
these past horrors, from the beginning
these are my stars, my freezing oceans
and burning skies, and I let them shine with you,
I let them shine with no one but you.
See my flares lighting up the pitch black sky,
dyes of red, yellow and blue all calling out to beckon you.
My dear I bow before you a man who is torn in half,
ripped apart from his other half, without you,
let me join, so we together can light up the pitch black sky.
It was one of those days
Summery haze
Little girls and boys out to play
It was the day the sun shone
It was one of those days
Lovers gaze
All the grown ups smiling
It was the day the sun shone
It was one of those days
Bluebells and Waves
Shining glory
It was the day the sun shone
It was just one of those lazy hazy days
It was the day the sun shone
in the
near darkness
of your divine mind’s
slow deterioration
I now and then see the light which once shone there
Undressed we are upon hallowed ground
Where hands find gems in loving surround
Your pertness in arise at my fingertips
Tongues fencing within lustful lips
My hands now wander in caressing find
Sighs and groans release from our minds
Down your porcelain torso I kiss my way
Reaching heavens gates in pink display
I touch, I kiss as you arch your back
Your breasts in lift I see no lack
Excited we are as you welcome me home
Whilst the moon shone, our bodies in roam
In sensual writhe we reach moments of bliss
Sharing our moments with a passionate kiss
Like slow waves caressing the sands
Kissing we explode holding our hands
Echoes of pleasure in lustful call
Resonate as they bounce of the walls
Implode we do as our loving ends
As we await the signals, that love resends

Awoke by the coldness of the night
there it is nothing to be seen
you are alone in a rescue life boat
temperatures falling cold’s really keen
Can’t remember much how it happened
the cruise ship must have became a wreck
thankfully at least I am still alive
nothing more to do but look for a speck
It must be night as it’s so dark
nothing else to be seen in sight
but then suddenly the light shone
my hopes raised see something bright
Maybe I’m close to shoreline
could it be it’s a lighthouse
a safe anchor for my soul
oh feel brave again I’m no mouse
The comfort a light does bring
just like how it dispels the dark
suddenly hope rises to flood your soul
how it all looks now see I no shark!
(Just some thoughts on being lost at sea and hoping for a light! )
The heavens cheerfully shone
As the sea was completely torn
Love was perfectly shown
But dreamers have sadly gone
Only the surface has been known
