Best Sweet Balm Poems

In draining sand I trace the line
the tide has made in bubbles, fine,

where scalloped wavelets sloped in foam,
halt the ocean’s wide roiling roam.

Pale seashells shimmer in bright sun
and tiny crabs sport sideways run;

whitecaps dancing, turquoise to green,
toss at my feet a glossed sea bean.

Solitude, loved...

Peaceful as a frozen lake by a quiet winter's dawn 
still as the silence that whispers to us, like a fawn 
Drawn to the air in our lungs as we gently engage  
side by side in a world of great love, rock of Age

The morning comes, dawning
slowly, as I arise once more --
mind meandering, sleepily yawning,
sunlight creeping through my door.

My mewing cat demands a morning meal
while distant church bells faintly peal
and traffic sounds invade the room.
Coffee briskly brews; the cat begins to groom.

I grab a glass of breakfast...

“Halos of a Thousand Lashes” 

Sweet dreams
for runnaway children
looking for nursery rhymes

a sweet balm comes to mind
fairy songs sung 
to close their eyes

fluttering a thousand lashes
like angels wings

hearts wear thorny crowns
for halos seeking home 
opening arms

shooting cupids arrows
across the universe 
for better tomorrows

Mirrored trees reflecting so clear,
Mountains with snow peaks seem so near.
Tranquil lake sweet balm for my soul,
Seldom within a wave will roll.
Natures mirror lined with sky makes me shed a tear.

End comes surely,
Now lost at sea;
Rest feels sleepy,
Opt peace that frees;
Unbraid old woes,
Toils of these shores,
Enter and go.
New light feeds core,
Obtain fond ease
Within a place;
Hidden in peace,
Exult fine grace;
Rest in sweet balm,
Explore soul calm.

ONE GOOD MAN
by Tina Lasley

You breathed into my life like a whisper
So soft, and gentle, with such ease
Your kisses rocked my world
and brought me to my knees

A voice ever so soothing
A demeanor so easily calm
Your sexy voice singing
Is like a wonderful sweet balm

No need to...

The sugar sweet balm of salt water taffy
      graced the breeze.
While savoring deep breaths of this seaside confection,
       I held tightly, my grandmother’s hand.
I was five years old and we had come to the...

Pray, my lord, says the priest. ‘Tis sweet balm for the soul,
and he, he sees yours-
Lord, I hope not- you think.
‘O! there are spirits of the air!’
a poet will write centuries after they give you your soldier’s burial
so when you turn to gaze into the...

Flower Beauty
(Life’s Refrain)

Red rose
Flower of love
So beautiful it grows
Send from above
Red rose

Flowers
With heart and soul
Loving the spring showers
To reach their goal
Flowers

With grace
Fragrant release
Colorful garden face
Sweet inner peace
With grace

Green hills
Inner poise calm
Nature’s wildflower thrills
With a sweet balm
Green hills

Meet moments calm in happy feel;
You start the tale with easy reach.
Joy spreads sweet balm to soothe and heal;
Ideas prevail to fondly teach.
Grapple with voice to cause appeal;
Success speaks well as outcomes tell;
Allow your choice to fund fine fill;
Wise up and spell...

TINKERS #1:


Mind follows heart as feelings urge,
Intent floods start with poise and merge;
Charm has a way to ooze sweet balm,
Health primes each day as stillness calms;
Ask truth to tell in plain words bold,
Expect fine spell to now...

Deep in these woods quest solitude,
Invite the heart and mind to stay;
See fare and food in attitude,
Choice learns to start a better way.
Engage spirit as body finds,
Reach to contact a deeper whole;
Niche zest and wit with peace of mind.
Thrill your own pact as truth makes...

In hues of grace, wonders never fade beneath the starry skies who sing of in softest tones – precious, perfect psalms ~ quote by poet

Reflections of the heart glisten through the night
Quieting the darkness, all the fright
Gentling the ache, a soft calm
Wise like the sweet...
