You built your house upon the mist,
The sea-sigh cradled every beam,
And winds like lost and wistful souls
Would lean against your fevered dream.
You wore the sky against your hair,
The stubborn stars beneath your feet,
Your laughter was a thistledown —
Too wild, too swift, too fleet.
In Adam’s Rib, you wove your song,
A silver thread through jest and war,
Bright was your spirit, fierce and long,
A river breaking on the shore.
But storms came calling at your door,
And none could hold them back or plead;
The walls were torn, the hearth was drowned,
The sea had learned your creed.
Yet still you rise — a ghost, a flame,
A prayer stitched into rain —
The salt remembers your brave name,
And we remember all your pain.

She came so violently into the house, like a bolt of lightning.
I could feel the heat radiate off of her face. I was extremely anxious.
It was unexpected this time.
She won this round and she proudly boasted it all throughout the trailer.
Her revenge was so juicy and delicate as she served it forcefully loud and clear.

You nor I
Neither You nor I will live to see these wonderful times
When the world will live without any crimes
Neither you nor I will live to hear the victory cries
Of freedom before one of us dies
Neither you nor I will live to feel the keys to our chains
Before we reveal the world our pains
Neither you nor I will live to smell the air of our land
When we all march southward hand in hand
Neither you nor I will live to taste the cold bitter tears
Of those who mourned our pains and or fears
-Katherine Leutsch

Helper for heartbreak's dissipation
Coat of slick paint covers pain
His younger hair longer temptation
Gives dead Romeo fresh frame
Travel miles along Australia's coast
Brought assailed soldier to me
Astringent ginger kisses Kylie ghost
Instant skin soothe of proximity
Tersely told stories, recently passed
Undo injury of passion's abort
Urge rapid recovery, characters cast
Script for infant territory taught

Kiss me on my last breath,
After that let me lurk to death ,
The times when the stars start speaking,
Hollow hearts don't know what they are seeking
Eventually the love runs dry,
River of truth turns into a lie,
In all this cruelty , living is tough,
No, id rather die than to live a life of bluff,
Empty be my body not my love.

My soul was ruptured by crystal soprano
As I walk from door to door
Try to outpace my welling tears
Noble silver - perfect jewel
Reduce a man to burning fuel
Untill I spellbound dont exist
Your voice a bell , my disbelief
That could summon men to wander off
To dwell in wanton pergatory
and kneel in wonder of a eucharist
A radiant flame of holiness - an arum lily
The palor of thy countenance
Taste of Russian Ural honey
Lift me to the stratosphere
Never was heard a sweeter sound
I was born for hearing this
Surpassing every ounce of elegance
Surrender meekly to thy song of godliness

In angelic voice, enthral, rejoice
Of peace be s-t-i-l-l, for one fine day
A garden of dreams, over the rainbow, a daydream behold
In a graceful realm, of grace to amaze, a dawn of promising rays
Blissful skies, sunlight arise, a peaceful picture
Soul silhouette, lest we forget, royal remembrance
Together we stand, to thee, across the land
A musical language, all-embracing, casted carousel
Performance premier, shining sensational, inspirational
Hail – music of the night, dance with the stars
Tap and glide, a guiding star, something in the way……….
Just as you are
Journeying jewel, revel, jubilee
A walk through autumn leaves, in timeless reverie
Sounding soprano, crowds resonate, of joyfulness elate
Gracefulness of elegance, a time of prime
A gift given, of noble distinction
A symphony of sophistication
Due adulation, due applause, with charitable cause
Exceptional tours, over a great and mighty distance
Of services rendered, a splendour of release
Flowering duet, a radiant bloom, of times unknowing
We’ll meet again – soon

Just like lines of spiderweb
It's so tender, implicated,
Kiss of Katherine is like jab
Her eyes tempt. All's complicated.
And she makes on heart her mark
Blood ferments in veins. Excitement!
There's no time for our luck
Moment's gone and she is silent.
She is hiding in the mist
Crying Kate's in hardest breathing
Kiss has slid on red lips
She's in dreaming. Dreams are seizing.
She has notion to repeat
Our kiss so soon in practice
Strong and sensitive! We need
Careless kiss as kiss of justice.
To create for us delight
Feel it through the lips in glory
For embrace for wanted sight
Just for little moment. Sorry!

Katherine Moore Haiku
what happened to us
we may never know when or why
or how to translate
so what should we do
to relieve all of our pain
and suffer no more
seems so pure and plain
our answer just did appear
we wish you were here
when you leave again
better be sure to prepare
us so can survive

Katherine the Great
Was fashionably late
In the parlor were chairs to recline
Each year she got greater
So of course she got later
And now all her “good friends” decline

She has a voice of the angels
She has a heart that touches my soul
She may seem heavenly to you
In solitude, she paints visions of beauty
She falls to the ground
A wounded angel
We weep together in the rain
She is the wind of my hopes
Her words, so soft, bring stories to life,
Rainbows of my desires
She caresses my being
Her voice beats as my heart
We dance as one
We sing at two
We take tea at three
Rum tumbles in at four
We stumble to the floor
In Laughter, oh I adore
She has become my other
There is no more
Kiss me sweet
Of all the angels
She is my treat
She is!

Katherine
My sweet
Angelic friend,
You held my hand when
I needed a caring
Warm hand to hold.
You taught me
How to be bold
When ugly things
You are told
About your
Soulmold.
How frightful
I was when you
Told me you may
Have to go away.
That cancer had
Invaded your
Shapely flesh
Chest.
How I prayed for
You day and night.
I can’t imagine
My life without
You in it guiding
Me through my
Dark tunnel,
Towards the
Shining light.
Now you rage
Against this
Terrible plight,
Spreading your
Bright pink ribbons
And encouragement
To everyone.
Letting women
Know how much
You care and
That you’re
Aware of their
Breast scare.
What a bright
Day it is that
You’re here to
Dare to live
Another day,
Spreading your
Mystical ways.
How lucky we are
To have you with
Us longer as
The world sways.

Her voice reaches a higher plain
It quivers through my evey vain
Picks me up when i am low
Just a poem to let you know
When you sung Nessum Dorma
It brought a smile to my face
When you sung amour et let u
you were bathed in the light of grace
So pretty so sweet
With a voice so strong and true
On that night in bastion
I fell in love with you
We were blessed that you sung for us
Even though you didnt have too
Thank you from all the soldiers
And a personal thanks from me too you

Katherine Stella likes to play
And gives GODS HEAVENLY ANGEL
CHOCOLATE COVERED KISSES each day.
Off she goes to CRIPPLE CREEK to ESCAPE
And enjoy some COUNTRY BLISS
While she tries to get over THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS
WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING
She served a TATER TOT HOT DISH
Over by THAT OLD WOODEN FENCE
The FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND
Were MY LITTLE GUMMY BEAR
With BOMBS BURSTING IN THE AIR
GOOD MORNING SUNSHINE
I tagged Lynn Marie
Late last night WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING
Thanks Katherine Stella
Now I can say
Lynn Marie you've been tagged today.
Thanks Katherine for the loan of your poem titles.
