Life is full of wonders bright,
Receive its gifts, take in the light.
No matter how small, don’t look away,
For little things grow in a mighty way.
Let’s not waste our time in regret,
Nor dwell on things we can't reset.
The past is gone, the future calls,
So stand firm, fight - don’t let it stall.
His Crown of thorns, His finest hour,
With grace and glory, divine in power.
Through trials deep, we'll stand so tall,
Our finest hour will shine for all.
The answers to our earnest prayers,
Wrapped in the favour that each wears.
Maybe we are planted deep in gardens not fair,
Yet destined to bloom flowers beyond compare.
Words By: Melancholy Of Innocence
A place where love awakens with silent truth un-binding
A breath a speechless word whispered by an eye's caress
anchored deep within inside my naked soul's undress.
Here lies the force of my love, in truth I must confess,
I am a butterfly in flight, a rose drenched in morning dew
awakened by your innocence I cannot help but love you
Like the flowers need the rain, I need you too
One touch one blink and this moment turns to air
softer than perfume gentler than a whisper barely there
Like stars of heaven, you're beyond compare !!!
Nature's beauty
Is making me forget
How much I can't stand ants
The flowers by the wayside
Got my curiosity and attention
The sound of the water is so calming
That running under the bridge
A peaceful river flows through an autumn
Landscape, with golden leaves
I love the color of the surrounding
I love this beautiful trail
Gorgeous for walk, a relax catwalk
The view is a blessing so pleasant to the heart
What a beautiful nature from God.
In sunshine fields and skies of peace.
Where flowers bloom in fragrant ease.
There lies a strength both fierce and rare,
Woman's heart is beyond compare.
She walks with grace her head held high
fighting man when he makes her cry.
Even when her heart is left bare,
Woman's heart is beyond compare.
Nurturer, and giver of life.
Beacon of hope in times of strife.
Gentle hands and soothing sweet care.
Woman's heart is beyond compare.
In sunshine fields and skies of peace.
Woman's heart is beyond compare.
In the darkness of night,
With only stars for light,
I wander through the trees,
Whispering secrets on the breeze.
The moon above shines bright,
A beacon in the night,
Guiding me on my way,
As I wander and sway.
The rustling of leaves,
A symphony that weaves,
Through the stillness of the air,
A melody beyond compare.
I lose myself in thought,
As I continue on my sought,
Journey through the dark,
A journey of the heart.
For in this silent space,
I find my inner grace,
And though the night may be long,
My spirit is forever strong.
So let the stars shine bright,
And guide me through the night,
For I am not alone,
In this world I call my own.
good morning
the entry below is a "goshi" format
before anyone makes a comment on the format
for all of us who have posted on various sites
know each site has their own definition guideline and rule
it should be universal but we all know it isn't
it escapes me from which site I found the format
more than one stanza would make it a goshi suite
just as a tanka suite or haiku and senyru suite
I would further like to say
I'm certain we have all joined in on the format challenges
writing an entry from a to z with every format
the two hardest for me will always be the chant royal and sonnet
for those of you who continuously write in the formats
blessings to you and you have my truest respect and admiration
thank you
with all this being said
here is my "goshi" format
one stanza with rhyming optional
and with no rule of meter or unmeter
I listed my entry under light verse poetry
"beyond compare"
have I told you the worth of your open arms
have I showed you my love and the all of it
not because of your smile or sparkling eyes
and not because we express dress to undress
with illumination you move me beyond compare

To see how you motivate,
you represent all that I admire;
Drew a line through any doubt,
fuel to see the lighting of your fire;
Zone of self confidence,
lone wolf but willing to share,
Undertone so very patient,
showed me you’re beyond compare.
your hand lengthens down my barren neck,
i'm enthralled by your motivation to love me-
you whisper in my ear, on my cheek a peck,
i needed you back then...oh, can't you see?
when we met twenty years ago i was a wreck,
and all the hard times are dusted in a speck
you handle me with care and sincere affection,
believe in me like no one else ever has before-
for we have a rare bond, a strong connection,
you touch my nape and hush, "adore me more";
separate we're flawed but our love is perfection,
bestowing graceful introspection and reflection
in the depths of my heart you reach heights
beyond any mount or eagle in the azure sky-
i'm fascinated when we turn off the lights,
your opium induced passion makes me high;
yes, there have been struggles and fights,
but i'll never let go of all the romantic nights
the way we came together, how love did blend;
you are my mate to my soul, line to my life-
all my heartbroken moments you did mend,
i'm so grateful october made me your wife;
little notes you compose and roses you send…
shows me our love shan't come to an end

Where steeples reach to touch the sky
and faithful bow their heads in prayer,
a wondrous sound fills wintry air
as choirs sing “Angels on High”.
Exalted words take wing and fly;
good tidings are for all to share
where steeples reach to touch the sky
and faithful bow their heads in prayer.
The morning of His birth is nigh;
each celebrates a Love so rare –
one precious Gift beyond compare!
His presence cannot be denied
where steeples reach to touch the sky.

Writing Challenge- December, 2019 - I Want Christmas Poems
Sponsor, Dear Heart - Wiishkobi Ode
*Rondel - a variation of Rondeau
R-ose is sweet beyond compare,
O-ffering a fragrant smell;
S-cented petals bring
E-cstasy, delight, and thrill.
B-eautiful popular flower
U-ses red, white, not gray;
Y-our heart is truly warmed,
A-pril twenty-seventh Thursday.
I-t's a lovely morning, there's aroma in the air;
N-oses are really pleased, rose is sweet beyond compare.
Trump Has Been Beyond Compare
But I have a tendency to write poems
about humor, stupidity and how humidity
happens to affect Trump's hair.
McCain criticize we would never dare,
With Trump the Terrible always there;
In straights dire;
Forgot spare tire;
He has so many loose screws to spare.

R-aindrop tenth of March
I-s nowhere in view;
C-old chill has gone by,
K-ind weather comes to
Y-ou.
C-oal clouds early Friday
A-re all turning white;
S-un has begun rising
T-o set everything aright.
R-ugged wind and haze disappear into thin air;
O-pen your eyes to the view and perspective beyond compare.
He was a love beyond compare,
I fell in love with him the day I met.him.
Seeing him from day to day enhanced their friendship,
Now and then they would hug, a prince in disguise.
She learned that he liked skiing, she liked that too,
The swiftness of the skis along the mountain top.
Summers he would go canoieng,
His virile and tall handsome figure beautiful in the distant.
He was very well-liked by his peers and always extended friendship,
She hoped that they would have a long time to get to know another.
When their eyes met you could sense the friendship,
Almost as if they had known another all their lives.
What a miracle their meeting , the weekends were lonely,
He would go home and return during the week.
She thought how blessed she was to have him in her life,
Miracles that only god could create and she was truly thankful.

Breathless and bare you subtly stare,
reckless with flair, I can barely stand-
You flutter your fingers through my hair,
as I gently take your masculine hand.
Only the Lord above can understand,
WE SHARE A BOND BEYOND COMPARE.
Quietly quaint, I feel I should faint,
alone no more beyond the closed door-
I’ll sit as my silhouette you’ll paint,
this is what this life is good for.
It’s always been you that I adore,
when I’m with you I have no complaint.
Unspoken, broken and utterly shattered,
scarred beyond measure was I-
It’s always been you that mattered,
before you I was a lost butterfly.
Now I sing in choirs with angels on high-
you came to me, my heart pitter-pattered.
So tender and kind, I'm outta my mind,
for you bring ease to my stress-
We are beauty and passion combined,
you make my soul shine, I must confess.
Before you I was a drifting mess,
now we are one, our stars have aligned.
~I never knew of a love so rare...
WE SHARE A BOND BEYOND COMPARE.~

G-ray clouds don't gather,
R-ays of the sun ascend;
A-fter the cold Friday night,
C-hill and shadows
E-nd.
P-ouring raindrops Saturday
A-re nowhere in sight;
T-he beautiful beacon
I-s setting things aright.
A-llow the seventh January to rise you up from slumber;
M-orning glory of your birth is truly beyond compare.
