Best To A Higher Place Poems
7 may 2012 4:50 PM
I dance in the sunlight
I dance in the rain
I dance when I'm happy
I dance when there's pain
Because it frees my soul
And it lets me go
to a higher place
to a higher praise
With You ohhhh with You
that's right
I dance to remember
I dance to forget
I dance in a dream land
I dance in reality
Because I dance for You
And You take me there
to that higher place
to that higher praise.....with You

Secluded Lovers Nest.
.
Alone as one in our secluded nest
Made of love to be forever together
Heart to heart and heaven blessed
Lost in the cozy moment
Giving and sharing awakening blissful kisses
And sweet tender caress
.
Eliciting a deep flow of warm emotions
And exquisite mounting sensations
Freedom to express what mere words cannot express
With teasing strokes and loving touches
Increasing tension to a satisfying liberation
.
Silver trails planted upon a sensitive yielding
Smooth receptive sensitive landscape
The secret garden tendered
As two bodies rive with pleasure
And weave in the midst of a firry lake
Assenting to a higher place
Only twin flames can venture
Few travel with the sweetest pain
Upon such a thrilling sensual adventure
.
The waves of hungered passion
Now as a placid lake
Warm embers still aglow
The lavish feast now satisfied
Wrapped up safe in each other's tender arms
Pecks and butterfly kisses
And the glazed look of love
In my lover's eyes
.
She gently nuzzles her lovely head upon my bare chest
I stroke her cascading fragrant tresses
With loving fingers of heartfelt tenderness
I tell her how much I love and cherish
The angel by my side
Two kindred souls and entwined hearts
Brought together by devine providence
My world my life my one and only faithful bride.

Death... the final breath, the last smile you can take, forever gone in a land of
make. Your words to be spoken lost in a book unread, and now you're laying in
some death bed. Why now? Have I done such wrong to deserve this punishment
that I have gotten? Forever to be lost in a world alone and forgotten.
My life has just seemed so short compared to those who have sinned, for I too
will be gone with the cold and lonely wind. As you finally close your eyes, you can
see the final step that takes you to a higher place, which people say.
But where to? With whom? What is said? Well all these questions can be only
answered when you are dead.
How can it be that you are dead
These thoughts keep racing inside my head
I can not believe it, it can not be true
How can I live in this world without you
My life will be empty, my heart broke in half
You're my reason for living, you make me laugh
How can I go on, how can this be
I'm falling to pieces, please can't you see
I'm crying, and dying, and empty inside
All of these feelings I can not hide
Where do I turn, what will I do
I just want to die and move on with you
They say that I can't, they say I must stay
I must keep on going to face the next day
I can not conceive it, I feel out of breath
I do not know how to deal with this death
Oh, God please help me, please reach out your hand
I need you to hold me and help me to stand
I turn to you now, my saving grace
Please take his soul to a higher place
This quaint haven away from Seeing Eye
No sound of the loom now at nature’s call
Here on this coarse park bench in deepest fall
Gloomy clouds above threatening blue sky.
Song of the Blackbird rings out yet so shy
Speckled Thrush nags his mate in tuneful squall
Lush green lawn an ocean of food to trawl
Twisting squirming succulents soon to die.
I now will have to end this little verse
Clown on a motor mower not at peace
Feathered friends scatter to a higher place
I look to heaven now in silent curse
Back to the weaving shed and all that grease
Lunch break in tatters silence without trace.

Lovers each parted their ways,
Tears cause misty sprays.
Colder grew them both,
Love amid them was now an old growth.
Lovers wear on their poignant face a pair of abysmal drenched brows,
Each parted brow one crumpled, other rumpled as twinge, sonorous it grows.
Their ways parted but for scores to come both would grieve,
Tears to obscure make believe a poker face for all to deceive.
Cause misty sprays now quench and quell the fervent fires of the raving heart,
Colder grew to icier but a dim flame of passion lies to be kindled although apart.
Them both a score later brought face to face by fate or fortune to meet,
Love amid them, wedged, now flickered and glinted, sneering smiles as they greet.
Was now at hand frozen silence and two tear blubbering faces,
An old growth of love renascence and regenerates.
Now the feelings cold erase and hate displace,
To make way for their searching love to take them to a higher place.
To melt intrepidly into each other’s arms and embrace,
Depose and oust with grace the long worn mask of the poker face.

My fingers brush the strings of an old guitar, hidden away in the closet in my room.
A small smile plays my lips and I close my eyes, picturing me playing that guitar.
Me singing some song on a bench in the rain.
Singing the music that makes my heartbeat pulse through my whole body.
I can sing. I know I can, I just need practice.
I laugh as I picture the look on my friends faces when I tell them this.
I smile and put the guitar away, all the while thinking of how I'd love to learn to play
that guitar.
To go to a friends party and sing. To make them feel what I do when I ride a high
brought on by nothing more or less than music.
Breathless, I sit on my bed, my face glowing.
I will learn. I will learn to let out the song that makes my heart fill with so much joy I
feel like I'm going to explode.
Still smiling, I put on my favorite music and let that high take me to a higher place.
Inexplicably bound
Shared history
traveling alongside each other
diverging from the clan
to seek ourselves
only to converge
and celebrate together
the pattern of human experience.
Shared euphoria and expectation
as the baby’s first breath
raises all to a higher place
gazing in wonderment
stirred to protect.
Shared humor.
Delight in the child’s laughter
and its infectious joy.
Clever wit volleyed with affection.
Stories fondly recounted
Shared congratulations and trust in the future
as lifelong commitments are declared
And promised before those who care.
Shared grief when one of our number is hurting
Giving expression to the depth of the connection,
The bind is not inevitable
nor guaranteed
by shared DNA
or tribalism.
It needs to be nurtured and cherished
For then
Its power to nourish
Is inexplicable.
If I had you my angel ..
I would speak
For as long as there is a breath in my lungs
I would use
As many words as humans have ever created
I would imagine
All kinds of descriptions anyone can think of
But I wouldn’t even come close
To describing the way I feel
When I think of my angel
When I listen to my angel
When I look at my angel
*******
Her thought would shift me away..
To another world .. another reality
One where im better
Where everything is alright
And nothing can ever go wrong
No worries .. no sadness
No burden carried along
********
Her voice would make me fly..
To a higher place
Where all is worthless
so sweet to my ears
That it’ll make
my complex mind go in harmony
With my beating heart
And the only thing that would matter is her
My heart would dance in love
My thoughts would fly in happiness
*******
And her look..
As painted by my brain
Oh god what a look !!
Notice how you shiver
From a powerful human gaze
Now imagine how I’de shiver
If an angel gives that gaze
She can hold my soul among her eyes
Between a wink and another I’de die
My world will shut closed
When her look at me is paused
********
If I had you I’de only think :..
Im so lucky .. I envy me
My guardian angel is watching me
My god I love that girl so much
I have her in the world
I lived a life with a lifeless goal
And walked the earth without my soul
Until the day I saw her face
At first I felt I am so small
So tiny so unconfident
How can I ever reach up
To the angel of beauty itself
Then she came and blessed my life
And since that day on I know my goal
I also know that shes my soul
I love you would be nothing
Not in my dictionary
I adore you wont be even close
To express how I feel about my angel
I told you before
And I tell you again
********
If I had you
I would speak
For as long as there is a breath in my lungs
I would use
As many words as humans have ever created
I would imagine
All kinds of descriptions anyone can think of
But I wouldn’t even come close
To describing the way I feel
When I think of my angel
When I listen to my angel
When I look at my angel

I Don't Know What It Is About You
But Every time I See Your Face My
Mind Escapes To A Higher Place.
There Nothing I Can Say To Make
You Understand Why i Feel This Way.
Because The Truth Is I Don't Understand
It Myself. But I Know It Makes Me Feel So
Close To Home That I Wanna See Your Face
Everyday.

She sells suicide in the mirror i see
by the seashore dark lady
how i adore her
arch angel say it if you want
that whore its allright
she sells herself black magic
by twelve
arms open wide laugh
and i know i got a knew flame
im gonna buy a brand new dance
the most amazing show on earth
dark angel if you will
because she sells suicide from new orleans
suicide from down below something i been missing
all the things she said
something special
perfume i wont take to kindly to
she sells sundials and daisie
bad scratches in seriuous ways
I'll run
and her thoughts make me crazy
she sells jokes and smiles
make it all worth the while
and the gun was in my hand
lend me my light liar liar liar
and ask the page through the tinted glass
has love brought me to a higher place
does she realy truly
surely she does
she sells suicide in a darkened room
even to the saddest of us clowns
the ones that get down and pray
the ones that care to no longer to save the day
wont turna card up anymore
when all the merry men clapped
have company they shouldnt have
gypsie music
begging us once to marry them
im a mistake in the past
the brew was gone
Liar liar
string our dreams along
and im coming clean to gypsie music
Im thinking ill be alright and wheres my reason
till we have heaven in sight
say it if you choose
she sells suicide everyday
this im sure
she sells suicide
i want some more
to know more of myself
suicide for the rich
the down beat the trodden
the happy and the poor
very close to you
I'll find it in you
and secretly true
the queen and the three
i wish you could have seen my face
lend thee thy light
she sells it by the truck full
she sells it to bangkok
while you pray
and yore wont take to kindly to it
she sells suicide
to forgotten faces
laughing and dancing
like the sound of my voice
i heard it was true
liar liar liar
the black two eyed jack
I'll fight
but never thought id see it like this before
That which beats is a lie
All that flows through is blood
My foreign wounds are denied
The hollow chamber a flood
Both fill me with sustenance
But emptying just the same
This tiny organ beckons
What in time would happen
Eventually would claim me
And call me to a higher place
And i feel this mental apathetic arrogance
As the walls close in
I begin to deny
That this body is drowned
And what is there is alive
I should have died then
I should have died then
Cover me
Envelope me in this
Cavity
Hollowing
Let nothing
Pierce through and
Empty

Be the Rock, for them to cling-to; those who are lost in raging river....be the shieldwall, for them that can't stand alone: against any storm, for them as cannot stand for themselves. Therein lies the true way to Volholla--the sure-footest of paths; the true stairway to heaven. Lead Me to the Rock; Lift Me to a higher place.

I am endlessly groping among these ancient ruins,
Trying to dodge all these hedges and thorny vines strewn.
I am searching for an ancient artifact, only aided by the moon.
The night has now turned into a pensive day,
Yet, amid this solemn lonely gloom, my day is still a day away.
I am seeking under the sun, amid my pain,
Trying not to come undone, for this is my refrain,
Crying out to my Father, under the pouring rain.
There is no end for me, to my mighty ceaseless praying.
Why is this cruel fight, one so hard to make right?
I am in this saying, “Father, end this nightmare,
So I can start living my primeval day.
No more night demons, so I can be forgiven today!”
I close my eyes and crumble, dropping to my demise,
Calling it quits, I’m sure I’ve lost the sacred prize.
But my Mentor is wise, calling me up from the skies,
Exhorting me He says, “It’s enough, I’ll compromise.
I will save you, as you willingly, faithfully, humbly, sacrifice your life.
Give it to me as a sign, and I will give you Mine.
You’ve given your very best to pass this test, now I’ll bless you through all the rest.”
So with sword and shield in hand,
I yield to my Master’s command.
Together we face this eminent battle land,
As He clears the way through sordid foliage, and slipping sand.
We now proceed straight forward, to a higher place.
He is here now, where I finally behold His face!
I feel His love and light, and know His full amazing grace!
I now know what it means, to truly let go.
We march on through the murky marsh,
Searching for this sacred ancient place of grace.
I know this artifact, is one of ancient design, a pearl of most exquisite white.
A symbol of love, Spirit and holy light,
Hidden deep down, well under ground.
An ancient treasure of sacred worth,
Serving as a sacred token portal, to return home from earth.
Master, only with Thee will I go, for only Thy true great name saves.
I’ll catch on and take hold of Thy soul, to never let go!
On our Father’s Majesty, His right hand, Thou takes all godly control, to accomplish Thy perfect role.
With newness of ways, we live in the promised and saving days.
For now is the time of the great redeeming, the fulfilling of the ancient battle ablaze!
