Keeper Poems

Premium MemberKeeper of the Flame

A single light, a fragile spark
Guides the lost through endless dark.

The Keeper guards it, steadfast, still
A beacon strong, see.. a force of will.

It cannot falter, cannot fade
Its warmth eternal, softly laid.

The Keeper’s task, to hold it high
Until the stars themselves must die.

Nothing

'Nothing works faster'
the advertisement read
'Nothing works better'
the adman said
I don't know about you
but if that's true
it's Nothing for me
Nothing's a keeper
not only that
it's also cheaper

Not being silly is Jamie Smith the new Gilly

5 down..for just 84..what do you do.. try and survive..shut the door..or instead more hardcore jive...out on the lash  ..go to town..

On his way to 184..borrowed the crown from the real deal surreal cartwheel Panto clown..smash down the door..

Red hot..bespoke with the oak..smoking..old school Ben Stoking..first ball stroking for four..

Robin Hoods with the wood..forget

Premium MemberThe Wicket Keeper

**The Wicket-Keeper**


Today, I learned that a lover I once cherished has passed away. Just yesterday, he was alive, and I never imagined I would feel this way about him. It’s strange how I rarely think about the rain unless it floods my drains, my driveway, or my beloved rose garden, or dampens my happy mood.

The Keeper of the Circle

I do not rule with iron hand,
but with the rhythm of sacred sand—
each grain a word, each line a sign,
where order breathes and hearts align.

Before the lesson dares to start,
I plant the law with quiet art:
Not carved in stone, but shaped in grace—
a whispered guide, a steady place.

I walk not tall with voice raised high,
but

Keeper Of My Flame

"Keeper of My Flame"


Before the scriptures carved in stone,
Before the dawn, before the throne,
There was a song, a sacred hum,
Where Flame and Womb were joined as one.

You were the Rose, unopened, pure,
The portal deep, the silent cure.
I was the Flame, the rising tide,
That searched the stars to reach your side.

Not lost, but waiting in the

My Brother's Keeper

Am I my brother’s keeper?

Well…in a way

I keep your secrets in a chamber of my heart

I keep your confidences hidden behind the lids of my eyes

I keep your skeletons locked in the cupboard of my mind

I keep your insecurities safe in a bag of many tears you’ve cried

I keep your hopes in a jar with

My brothers keeper

Am I my brothers keeper , beside him will I stand . When I see him falling will I reach out with my hand . Will I stand beside him through battles big and small .  Am I the one he always knows will take late night call . Am I the one he

The Keeper Of Your Heart

I’ll sing to your demons,
Lay in my arms, find peace in my hold.
Don’t panic when you feel yourself falling,
Keep holding onto me—I’ll never let go.

When nightmares creep in and shadows loom,
Listen to my heartbeat; it’s your lullaby.
I’ll weave stories of starlit skies and tranquil seas,
Guiding you softly into your dreams.

Tell me of your weakness; I’ll

Tell it to the fire Keeper of the Night

Tell it to the fire 
(Keeper of the Night)
By Michelle Morris 
24/11/2024

Tell it to the fire 
It will burn away all your secrets
Feel the roaring flames
It will burn away all your fear

It consumes all the oxygen in the room 
It will leave you breathless and dying
So be careful when you play with fire
Unless you're prepared

To the Keeper of My Soul

You hold my heart in tender grace,
A sanctuary, a sacred place.
With every glance, my spirit soars,
You are the key to all my doors.

Bound to you, my soul takes flight,
A love eternal, pure, and bright.
In your arms, the world stands still,
A gentle warmth, a soothing thrill.

Your laughter dances in my veins,
Erasing shadows, healing pains.
Your eyes, a

The keeper of secrets

The leaves are falling, murmuring truths to the wind 
Creating a song of old whispers nestled in the fallen leaves 
The wind, the keeper of secrets
Haunts the wanderers—me,
Tracing the silent path to change
Each turn of color an echo  of what once was 
 
  And so, the leaves fall,
crushed under the weight of

Premium MemberKeeper Of The Sea

At a very young age 
He knew what he wanted to be
Like his father before him
A ‘Keeper of the Sea’

He married his childhood sweetheart
They loved unconditionally
Dreams and hopes for the future
Of raising a family

They lived in the lighthouse cottage
A loving home comfortable and cosy
They didn’t have or want for much
A happy life lived modestly

Both felt

Premium MemberAdvice for a Woman Looking for a Keeper

I do not care if your boyfriend is an alien or window-peeker,
a squirrel, monkey, oak tree, dinosaur or a pumpkin seed
If you are in for the long haul, look for a mate who will be a keeper
by all means, marry the guy who is secure enough to let a woman lead.
