Best Sweep Over Poems
Yesterday I was oblivious and carefree,
looking forward to seeing you,
talking with you on the phone -
your teasing voice glimmering with laughter . . .
Today my heart is a deep abyss
that knows no bottom;
I cannot find you in the darkness
for you have slipped beyond my reach.
No one can share my pain and loss;
only I carried you within me,
nestled just below my heart,
your forming body responsive to my voice and emotions.
Others may be familiar with this grief;
but mine has its own individual, bitter taste.
You are one of a kind,
no one just like you in all the universe.
My heart swells with aching sorrow;
you passed in the deep of night
with no one by your side,
alone,
except for the angel who came
to escort you from my world to His.
Waves of loneliness sweep over me;
I am capsized!
My baby boy you will always remain
although you grew to be six feet tall,
an independent, self reliant man.
There is a loneliness I know very well . . .
each birthday,
every holiday,
it stands beside my bed
waiting for my eyes to open.
It is my companion through every day,
raising its head at unexpected moments
to remind me that you are dead.
I could not bear this loneliness
if One did not walk with me
who knows it better than even I do,
God who gave His Son for the world.

The center of a star reflects just like a diamond...
Returning a pearl within each silver breath that one treasures...
With faceted panels, I promised I'd never...
Sweep over a deep sea of blue waves unmeasured...
There is a pattern woven inside golden petals that kiss the inside of my heart...
Parts of my heart that I've thus' failed to start...
With soft fingers dancing, you're forever entrancing...
My star that's eternally far...

Souls like these breathe sweet release
inhaling each others air
Falling locks sweep over your frame
encasing you in this moon soaked room
Soft scent of perfume...lingers from you
my pillow will sing of your absence
Tracing sinew with felt tip fingertips
you draw invisible words on my chest
Thoughtful gazes say more than pass our lips
no words for these moments that go without saying
Your chest rise and fall calming
soft tones of speech echo in silence
Captured by each others arms, drifting slowly
we talk now in murmurs, trailing off
My fingers run through your silken hair
rhythmically calming us both
Fading at last to a sweet lovers sleep
inhaling each others air

A white walled Spanish villa
over looking a blue Mediterranean rolling sea
the fragrance of pink cherry blossom
and olive groves fill the warm night air
as waves of calm and tranquillity sweep over me.
Red roses and bottle of wine upon a table
by the pool candle flames flicker and dance
in a calm caressing breeze
Soft gentle guitar music
charge the air with romance.
With a dark haired señorita in a red elegant dress
and hair styled to impress
we talk and laugh exchanging flirting glances through the night
then dance under the stars slowly holding each other tight
Kisses lead to caresses
as we hold each others heart within our welcoming hands
For the night is made for love
She is my woman
and I her man.

Relentless venom in a still river
seeing out it's weak.
Tainted beauty cries
pure, sweet, eternity.
What was then
could not be now.
Such tales surely hold
mistaken ground.
A whisper heard,
a voice in the wind,
Shadows sweep over,
darkness begins.
With each taste
there's little pain.
His burning venom
numbs my veins.
Rid me from such despair,
beyond this paralyzed nightmare.
Bring me back to that still river,
let me hear such tales again.
Let the wind voice it's worries,
before it's darkness see's me in.

Misshapen flimsy mass
Rubbage under foot
Wet with spittle and DNA
Morphing into a Dali
Time melting away
Family needs more
Rubbage on the floor
Unmoving joints staring eyes
Hollow unfelt emotions
Sweep over like a helium balloon
Surrealism opens the chest of me
Deflated spirit; deflated balloon

Tenderly the ivory keys call to me.
Their vibrating octaves like different voices
soft and hypnotic, drawing from me
the deepest yearning of my heart overtaking
my senses....helpless against its intoxicating
melody. Sweetly the notes swell, filling me,
lifting my spirit from its solitary place. With
each push of the keys the hammers strike a
chord deep within. Waves of inexpressible
emotion sweep over me enchanting,
and mesmerizing they carrying my
soul Heavenward.

Narrative
I'd never seen the sun shine so bright
And a sky so vibrant blue
The sweeping meadow green was so lush
Until the day I first laid my eyes on you
Creation suddenly burst into ultra technicolour I had never seen
Be so in awe of such a spectacular picturesque mountain view
Sensations sweep over me in such euphoric ecstasy
Until the day I first laid my eyes on you
Pink cherry flower clusters set against that blue so beautiful
Bird song never as sweet painted Ladies dancing came into view
On the day I first laid my eyes on you
The softest pleasant breeze ever teased and tickled the leaves
I'd never seen cooing doves so in love and so true
Such beautiful rose petals display their hearts to the sun
On the day I first laid my eyes on you
The fresh air never felt so good caressing my skin so pleasantly
Flowers emit such sweet perfume so heavenly as they did do
A rippling stream so crystal clear and clean
On the day I first laid my eyes on you
Find the end of the rainbow and my pot of gold
Float on the clouds and drift so far away as clouds can do
The heaven above pours so much love into my empty cup
On the day I first laid my eyes on you
You breathed new life into my dying soul
Fix the pieces together of my broken lonely heart with loves glue
Opened up my eyes wide to view a world I never knew existed
On the day I first laid my eyes on you.
I am blessed in so many ways my heart smiles and the sun shines
Every morning In those deep ocean blue eyes,

LIFE AND LOVE
LIFE’S 1ST LOVE – FOREVER AND EVER
Some couples,
Fall in love on the double,
Others take years to tie the knot,
Yet others are happy to shack
Up with their mate,
Better to know early in a relationship
Rather than late,
What is to be their fate!
Their promise of infinite love declared
Every day,
In every possible way,
Is hopefully why they want to
Be together,
Forever and ever,
And therein is the cue,
And the obvious clue,
That their destiny for their remaining life,
Is to be a partner, a husband or a wife.
LIFE’S 2nd LOVE – FOR MY BRIDE
Will you be my bride,
And stand by my side,
Down by the sea,
As we watch the tide,
Will you hold my hand,
And be my guide,
As I marry you with oh such pride,
Will you say I do,
As we both pursue,
A life that is real,
And with all that we feel.
Whether good or bad,
Or happy or sad,
I’ll be there for you,
Our whole life through!
LIFE’S 3rd AND FINAL LOVE – TRUE PARTNERS
I want to see and do with you,
Our years on earth are all too few,
I want to share and to explore,
Only with you as we mature.
There is so much that we must learn,
With both our minds and bodies stern.
I hope a soft, sweet wind will show the way,
Sweep over us, and take us far away,
To unknown lands,
Where golden sands,
Will wake us every day!

In the secret place where they can stay beautiful, where Donna and her son Zeus can stay young forever, where there is no more pain, sorrow and fear. In the secret place where Donna and Zeus can look down on us like angles; and protect us like beautiful angles like they were on earth, but now in heaven. In the secret place where we will see them again which the secret place is call The City. Where the roads are gold the bridge is wonderful the sky is blue the clouds are white and the gate is gold. Where the grass is green the flowers are so beautiful, and angles in white wings are flying in the sky. And there are lots of mansions and people are happy smiling. And loving each other not hating one another in The City. The City that is call heaven where God holds out his hands and I hear him say well done my faithful servant you can come on in. We shall see you both again mommy sweet princess and my handsome Zeus we will always love you both and you shall always be remember in or dreams and in our hearts. To a true warrior princess Donna mommy’s brave hero!!!
Isaiah 43:2 “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.”
Romans 8:18 “I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.”
Revelation 21:4 “ ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

Feelings so fabulous
With a love so sensuous
It's like I'm living in a dream
Glowing with a bright love beam
Shining from your sexy eyes
Like warm sun beams from the sky
Penetrating through my body
Always on time--never tardy
With your kisses full of flavor
That I always love to savor
Your sexy smile gets to me
It's a nice calamity
When you flash it big and wide
I start to melt from down inside
Hair that bounces with such ease
You know how to always tease
Me with your poses and head flips
Your sex appeal slowly drips
Oozing with desired notions
As our bodies create motions
Joining two bodies together
That get hotter and much wetter
With each passionate slow touch
Sending a hot fire rush
Through two bodies joined as one
In the night until the sun
Burns brightly on this hot scene
Neither of us could contain

Caress my thirsty heart
with tender words of love
Shower me in gossamer soft kisses
that render my soul to float to a higher
places that transpire from thy velvet
awakening exploring glove.
Plant the seeds of pleasure
that bloom on fertile ground
Show me thy treasure
and where thy sun kissed
Summit we climb may be found.
Let us languish in euphoric
wedlock's private
as warm waves like on a moody ocean
sweep over us
As we lose ourselves
within the enveloping deep tides
of eternity.

Sometimes, I am afraid of my thoughts,
Ideas swirling and whirling in my head;
Poems and stories, visions and dreams,
Twisting, spinning, moving and changing.
I always need paper and pen.
Since I was a child the words have flowed,
Like the seeking water of a forest stream;
It frightens me and at the same time amazes me,
I am unable to ever stop that I know for sure.
This is my writing journey.
It is part of me, it is like breathing clean air,
Like a dam ready to burst the words are waiting;
They overflow and engulf everything in their release,
It is all about emotions, feelings and messages,
This is my life's destiny.
Like giant crashing waves hitting a distant shore,
The words sweep over me, swallowing my world;
I am not even aware of what I will create with my pen,
At times it begins with just one beautiful word.
This is my need and passion.
And like a thing with a mind of its own it grows,
The pen drips with the words, the mind and pen mingling;
And when I read what I have created my tears flow,
I hang my head with the enormity of it.
This is my writing journey.

Verse
I stumble, I fall and tears start flowing,
I look up, and I see him running to me, even so knowing,
That his little girl fell, and was crying out her heart
Even if he told her not to do it, right from the start.
Regret, pain, and tears sweep over me,
As I look up into the eyes, of my dear Daddy,
Who picks me up with my knees so blue,
And my heart even broken in two.
My Daddy holds me closer to his chest
As words spilled out and I confessed
My Daddy squeezed me tighter in his arms
And yet the pain of my heart still burns.
I cry, I cry, and still my Daddy comforts me
He knows I did wrong, yet he says he still loves me
He tells me everything will be okay,
And kisses me on the forehead anyway.
Even when I run, and scream and shout,
My Daddy came after me, without a doubt
And protected me from my own mistakes
And from the boys who caused so many heartbreaks.
My Daddy, who always picks me up when I fall,
Teaches me, guides me, and protects me,
He laughs with me, and smiles with me overall,
And my Daddy, he doesn’t give up on me.
When I do run, and even when I do fall again,
I know I have my Daddy, behind me to sustain
To pick me up, to comfort, and to encourage me
Because I know, my Daddy, will always be my Daddy.
My Daddy, my sweet, sweet Daddy,
Will one day have to give a yes for me to marry,
And even on that day, when I dance with a twirl;
I will always go sit on his lap, as his little girl.
My Daddy, my sweet, sweet Daddy,
How do I put into words?
The deep love I have that I carry
For you, my sweet, sweet Daddy.
My Daddy, I cherish and adore you,
For you are what a Dad looks like, always to look up to
My Daddy, I love you, I so dearly love you,
Forever I’ll be, your daughter, so true.

Spiritualist -Signs of Souls
Fragmenting eyes of sorrow of baneful tears that demons burrow
Stealing Cupids arrow and the elusive songs of the morning sparrow
Encroaching black mass revels jubilantly to break the mirror's glass
Within the barbarous brass lies dormant their venomous ghostly gas
+++
Dancing amidst rambunctious rituals flaunting their hadal habituals
Illusions entrap the spirituals decapitating souls leaving no residuals
Satan’s lies are beastly born to rip your flesh with a torquing torn
Cathedrals crumble in his scorn with pandemonium’s yet to mourn
+++
Cadavers climaxing high as armies of darkness sedate the secular sky
The lost begin their cry upon ravaging ruins where their death does lie
Dormant dreams of deep thus awake within a wary wounding weep
Abortive ashes silently sweep over tombs where the Pharaohs sleep
+++
I walk in solitude above my gated grave a phantom who cannot crave
Thus abandoned within my cave where demons dine and will enslave
Evil does efficiently exist when God is put aside within heavens mist
Ask my heart that is in a twist for all the love that has been dismissed.
