Hellen Poems | Examples

Idyllic

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart."  Hellen Keller  

Snow-tipped mountains ranged around the prairie,
Small rivulets wavered down the steep sides,
Spreading nutriments, flourishing flowers.

   Bright red poppies, and yellow celandines
   Swayed all around, as a balmy breeze blew.
   Aiding agile grey geese gracefully glide.
   Above the shade of a cluster of oaks.

A few old men tended a flock of sheep,
Most chewed unleavened bread, nibbling on cheese.
Till to a tavern they'd go, to drink beer.

O thou whitish heaven's deity
Rowing on the waterways
Hellen of the birds in heaven
Heaven of the world of fays

In the foggy eves of winter
In the moonlit lake you row? 
Larks and cuckoos, moon and weathers
Gaze at Thee in awe and go
Pearl of Love, thou Silent thinker
Midst of oceans midst of river
Gazing at the Reed as hermit? 
Then on thine own thoughts thou shiver

Often see I rowing, boating! 
In the eves of scented summer
Holy mornings, foggy winter
Thou in silent worship hour
On the sands of ocean shimmer

O thou angel, O thou mystic! 
Thinkst thou of earth or heaven?
Thinkst thou of Love that Vanished? 
Thinkst thou in seventh heaven? 

Thinkst thou that life is sorrow? 
Sorrow with the beats that mingles? 
Thinkst thou of mirthful hour? 
Not on face of earth that lingers! 

Write on waves of ocean angel
With the quills in heart of water
Ways of earth are ways of sorrow
Ways of God are ways to laughter

The Hellens of Love

Your smile shines bright
Fields can't contain its light
Miss it with every step
Longing for our chat, kept

Hellen, your name I say
In every statement, it stays
Title of love poems too
For it brings thoughts of you

My feelings for you unique
Unusual, hard to critique
Started as online friends
Now wishing for kidnapping trends

To be near you once more
As we were in days of yore
Hellen's love, what a wonder
My heart starts to ponder

The days we talked all night
Your presence, a guiding light
Oh, how I miss those times
Wishing for moments, so sublime

Your smile, Hellen's grace
Time with you, never a waste
My heart aches to see
The Hellen's love, just you and me.

The Elements of Love

The Elements of Love

Hellen, my dear friend,
Rain canceled our plan,
But my heart will not bend,
For I know I'm a fan.

Your honesty, like Gold,
Sparkles through your soul,
Your love, like Silver, bold,
Makes me feel whole.

You're the Oxygen I breathe,
A necessity in my life,
A rare gem, like Cerium beneath,
Your love, like Iron, free from strife.

I appreciate your gentle heart,
A quality of Sodium in light,
Your kindness, like Krypton, smart,
Makes my day bright.

Your way of dressing, like Carbon,
Pure and decent, beyond measure,
Your jovial spirit, like Neon,
Brings a smile and pleasure.

I wanted to serve you like Calcium,
To strengthen our bond,
With a meal so delightful, like Chromium,
Our friendship would grow beyond.

But the weather didn't permit,
So I wait for another day,
When we can laugh and sit,
And learn more about your way.

Hellen, my dear friend,
You're a treasure, like Platinum,
In your company, time will never end,
For in your presence, I find freedom.

A Declaration For Charlie

I wonder how many dutches it'll take to get you off of my mind
I wonder how many shots it'll take for my heart to leave you behind
I wonder if I could make love to you through another woman would it ease the pain 
I wonder if that last thought qualifies me to be insane
I wonder where would I be today if I never came in that house 
I wonder if you would be single or if you would still have a spouse 
I guess I could sit here & wonder all day
Or I could just ask you if there's anything else to say  
I'm with it if you with it let's roll the dice I done told ol boy you chose & I was nice 
Now you rolling with me you're where your supposed to be you were in the nose bleed now you can see 
It's amazing grace that look on your face I'll conquer the world before I let anybody Hellen of Troy my girl

The Bitterness of Honey

The day’s been impressively amazing
Because everything was entertaining
Birds sang sweetly in shrubs like Hellen
On blossoms lots of bees sought pollen  

Bumblebees have been busy like a hussy
Feeling how the day has been shambolic
Because on the path, I heard a heavy truck
That was rolling on the street slowly

Back to the hive, I was very exhausted
In the way that I was unmotivated 
Today has been restless and now
Miserable I feel for a quiet morrow

That fetches a sweet day full of hurdles
Thus, we will be cagily flying like turtles
That have no return hope but always dare
And that also I take up is neither truly fair

Life’s honeyed but it’s difficult full at lair 
We bear its cynicism to alteration pronto 
Sweetness to arise soon we dream on Pluto
Making the itches of bees turn into softness

Poem by Mugisho N Theophile

Dumb and Blind

I didn't always envy Hellen Keller,
With feeling one end on a string
Has no answer to a warm bell laughing.
Having felt luscious bullets in times of grace,
Like sweat fornicating on its face,
Or heavy jubilee with disconnecting -
Erecting with joy no covers in space,
Not knowing of another sister or mother,
Each other willingly sparing no glee,
But to be amused by perspectives of me,
Torn between differing glittering
Under fades of shades.
How not to mourn? But celebrate!
And see smiles on poor creatures!
Nonsense -
I never envied Hellen Keller until now.

Evening

Abend /Evening /  La tarde  

Die Sterne
wie Weidegras, silbern leuchtend
im hellen Mondlicht.
Nur leichter Wind 
in den Bäumen 
wie geheimnisvolles Flüstern.
Der Abend beginnt
wie ein romantisches Ballett.
Und Wolken zeichnen
ihre Schattenbilder,
fantastische Portraits im Wechsel


The stars
like grass of  pastures, silvery bright
in clear moonlight.
Only slight wind
in the trees
like mysterious whisper.
The evening begins
as a romantic ballet.
And clouds are drawing
their silhouettes,
fantastic portraits 
in alterning change


Las estrellas
como la hierba de pastos, 
plateado brillante
en el claro de luna.
Sólo el viento ligero
en los árboles
como susurro misterioso.
La noche comienza
como un ballet romántico.
Y las nubes dibujen
sus siluetas,
retratos fantásticos
en alternando cambio

Im hellen Lichtschein


The bark of birches
Shines so beautifully bright
In clear sunlight 


Corteza de abedules
Tan maravillosamente brilla
En clara luz del sol

Pferde/ Horses/Caballos

Auf silbernem Gras
Schatten im hellen Mondlicht
Pferde im Galopp

Ein Geräusch vom nahen Wald
Einsamer Ruf einer  Eule

-----------------------------------

On silver grass
Shades in the bright moonlight
Horses in  gallop

A sound from the near woods
A lonesome call of an owl

Sobre plateado hierba
Sombras en claro luz de luna
Caballos galopando

Sonido del cercano bosque
Solitario grito de lechusa

Eine einsame Eule
In ihrem tiefen Flug

An einer hellen Mondnacht
Das leichte Rauschen vom Fluss

In the late evening
A lonesome owl
In her deep flight

At a bright moonlit night
Light rushing of the river

Una lechuza solitaria 
A última hora de la tarde 
En su bajo vuelo

A noche brillante de luna
Ligero murmurio del río

Abendsinfonie / Evening Symphony

Sinfonie der Einsamkeit
Gesang der Zikaden
Wie Blätterrauschen

Stille über den den Bergen
Im hellen Schein des Vollmonds

--------------------------------------

Symphony of solitude
Songs of grasshoppers
Like murmur of leaves

Silence captured the mountains
In a clear light of full moon

Communicating With Those Who Cannot

Everyone has a desire to communicate
just because you don't understand them
doesn't mean they're not trying to tell you something
being able to be there, to work on being able to recieve the message
Just because someone doesn't sound smart
doesn't mean they don't have hundreds of things to say
Hellen Keller was living proof
so what did we learn when we dig up history?

Eventual that you will understand
of the different ways of communicating with those who can't

Repressed for life
until someone is taught how to translate
a desire to communicate will be present
being there ready to recieve an invitation for that communication
learning a new language of communicating with those who can't

Psychology of the autistic, and down syndrome
finding something they care about
would be a good place to start
understanding the psychology of patterns of behaviour
of those who are abused
and can't communicate that

Contemplation - Keller (A Theory)

Quiet now
Becoming WHOLE
All the colors
All the music
All the dance
Gathered there
Somewhere

All that ever did
All that ever will
Exist
All This now
In the quiet
Becoming WHOLE

Mind
       and
            no mind
Mind screen bare
                            then
They come to you...........
Revelations............

Questions........
Questions of AWARENESS
In the perfect WHOLE
Is detachment
Realization
               that
There are levels
Levels of AWARENESS

To the dead eyes
                         and ears
Of Hellen Keller
Was there color?.....
Was there music?
If so............How?..........
Sent from her hands?........

No!
When becoming WHOLE
All the colors
All the music
Are gathered there
Keller was AWARE!
