Dove Poems

I need some warmth
If not yours matters 
It would be too cosy to pay 
For each single humble day

Yours needs the cost of love  
Flying somewhere alike a dove 
The sun's needs a complete exposure
And no privacy hides by...Read More

Etymologists hate poetry -
I have that on the best authority -
Of course the bloody rhyme's not perfect!
What else do you expect?
The inventors of language
(About the closest match is "sandwich")
Were not supporters of our noble art,
They had us beaten from the...Read More

I keep on observing couples pass me by oh so merrily,
Getting me all perked up, but at the same time, a bit of jealousy
I am deserving of no one and I know you'd disagree
Getting me slightly upset because I can't...Read More

clouds taking shape of a dove

Ralph Waldo Emerson: “A woodland walk, a quest for river-grapes, a mocking thrush, a wild rose or rock-living columbine, salve my worst wounds.”

SUFFERING SEASON

broken…
the sediment — a deposition seed,
of what meaning, this scrawl?

splinters splayed, suffering season
comforted by a columbine.

Bon Jovi: Always

This Romeo is bleeding, but you don't see his blood,
For it is pulsating in him, finding ways to join his love,
Way out is found, a kind of gift, bottled by a crying dove,
Romeo dies and Juliet rise, and...Read More

Why won't mama go to bed
Said Ned to Freddy Flake
I don't think she has been fed
There must be some mistake

Freddy gives to Mama Eddy
Children for her sake
Eddy lives for Papa Freddy
And their home to make

Honey, Bunny and sister Sunny
Are very...Read More

What timid lamb discerns I am trustworthy, drawing near? 
What deer could hear my message clear, "There's no need for alarm"?
What sigh could signify to butterfly, "My heart is warm"? 
What rabbit out of habit doesn't dash in mortal fear?
What...Read More

Cupid’s Arrow


Cupid’s arrow has a flaw,
It always seems to fall short.
Love has teeth and claws,
And it isn’t a mere sport.

Cupid’s arrow has a flaw,
And it doesn’t cause love.
It seems to cause strife and makes us bawl,
It is most definitely not...Read More

Until they...Read More

I'm hardly awake
and I start to quake.
If I should choose
to switch on the news,
a message of doom
deepens my gloom.
From delusion to delusion
a world in confusion
tumbles and stumbles
as everything crumbles.
Then I see Sally
and hope starts to rally.
She's only seven
and a present...Read More

Love will always seem to last, it grows more & more as time has passed.
Leaned upon the commitment in betimes.
Listen to them just one time.
This everlasting feeling has no bourns.
For now you are truly reborn.
With them, you could never be...Read More

look at the stars,
look at how they shine for you… 
and 
everything you do,
for you were the one who spread hope-
learning to feel again,
starving to cope-
my best friend, 
once taken,
   now free-
      ...Read More

held captive by wounded limbs-
shrouded with perpetual foreboding
without a safeguard to redeem my
tempered mind
craving to be alone...
yet praying someone will come home

i've never been so perplexed-
etchings of chaotic pandemonium 
created an uproar in my mind,
i see not the solution to...Read More

Fright night echoes sounds clink tapped chalices,
Amidst caused bruised concoctions aplenty,
Dons alehouse barmaids geniality,
Fair distance yonder gates of said palaces.

Camaraderie placates fools, nightfalls,
Host chambered snores all else unpleasantries,
Wenches clear tables its swill and varies,
Whilst yon night watchman hollers hourly calls.

The...Read More

God lead us down the path into true love
the kind the angels send to hearts so pure
a sanguine blessing rarely spoken of
bestowed upon the wounded needing cure.

God tell me that true love in truth exists
and can be shared in blissful...Read More

Heaven’s dove arrived
announcing her departure with wings fluttering
Death is the beginning the dove said
In a clear transparent voice

She was ready to leave the diseased body behind
Climbing out of it in a joyful way
Meeting the dove with a cheerful heart
Is this...Read More

I woke up in the middle of the night with tears running from my eyes. I woke up in the middle of the night because my spirit cries
It is not the tear that falls when I am lonely; it is...Read More

flight,  good afternoon
a mantled, wild squirrels skips
betrayed by the doves

flipping and flopping
his tail waving so briskly
jumps from branch to branch

dropping nuts on doves
as they so do try to leave
fly away dove fly
