Bronzed hunk on the beach
Trunks falling, the girls screaming
Oh my, man oh man

On a rocky crop
Looking out to sea
A lady in waiting
In the hope she will see
Her true love
Has been away so long
Out at sea
Where the fishing is strong
The calm sea's
Indicate none
No horizon movement
For her loved one
Her dedication
On this rocky crop
Her love abounds
Which will never stop
Day after day
In hope
He returns
The Lady with the Lantern

She arches naked
Her hair, rinsed in natures life
Posture, proud and pert

Poetry is thought
Turned into words
Where many can read
Not many will have heard
But the spread of writes
Our poets words
Once someone has read
Then someone has heard
This poem is written
For the Poetry Soup pens
Our family of members
Every single one a gem

To die by the sword
Or die by the pen
In my literary world
We would never lose men
They would prosper and grow
In my world of write
Never to war
Never to fight
They would be dying for love
Injured by hearts
If they can't heal
Its time to restart
So pick up your pens
Lay down your arms
En capture your thoughts
And you will come to no harm

In a forest clearing
Floats a long haired girl
Flame red dress
In this misty world
At her fingertips
A fairy so white
In this misty clearing
Shining so bright
A small deer
Walks with her
As if to turn
To confirm she's there
In the morning i wake
From my slumbering sleep
I open my tent
As if to seek
Will i see, a long haired girl
Floating along, wearing a flame red dress
Or was i in another world
I can only guess

As i stare at the sky
Thinking thoughts
In this meadow of bloom
My life, what its taught
To be kind with respect
Any colour at all
Honour and obey
Our elders call
Walk with pride
With your head held high
We should all walk together
Lets give it a try
As i lie back in the meadow
Enjoying the sky
My Butterfly thoughts
As they flutter by
http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/life2.php
The moment i saw her
Adorned in ink
Perfection of shape
No tattooist did blink
Designs of many
Etched on skin
Shoulders, thighs
A personal thing
Creative art
By a steady hand
This human picture
Beautifully grand
Gothic work
Drawn in place
Artistically scribed
In it's female grace
To view this view
Copy my link
As you will see why
No tattooist did blink

All the lovely colours
In this human race
Different faces
With different shapes
In towns and cities
Rich or poor
We all came to life
Through the same door
If we can't live togther
Some thing is wrong
Do the colours divide
Why we can't, sing the same song
So, you just be you
And i'll just be me
But, when we stand together
We are liberty
" Inspired by Christina Larmons poem "
Bad to be black
