More Tomorrow Night ALWAYS...HG
Form:
.
One house that dots the distant hill,
where a curve in the river runs
now shivers, alone, in the winter's chill.
It sits near a star, now that day is done,
I notice a light, as the twilight comes.
I wonder who sits there, behind the light?
From the window, there is soft, yellow glow…
Who sits at a table, alone tonight?
Is it someone whose spirits are low?
Is it someone I'm destined to know?
Armed by tall pines, on either flank,
As soldiers would guard a fort
Near the river that runs with the willowed banks,
Would they welcome a friend at their door?
For we have been neighbors for years…

"English Quintain"
By Carrie Richards 12/10/11
i know you
almost
as well as
i know myself
over the years
i have learned
your moods
your face
each expression
each crease
each worry line,
each crinkle around your eyes.
where they began
why they are there
would i erase them
if i could?
never...
for if i could
if they were no longer a part of you...
it would take away
your past
and mine..
and ours together....
perhaps there are different..
more delicate ways of saying
that life with you is good to live...
but knowing you,
as well as I do...
i know this will do

I had a mother once
With long dark hair
Whose candle faded,
but not her flame
The light she left inside my heart
Is still alive, forever glowing
It flickers softly in the dark
It chases shadows from my dreams
And comforts me, and softly keeps me
warm and safe,
and whispers love that does not leave me
It somehow knows when darkness swallows me
that soon the blush of morning follows
It tucks me in, and lightens my dread
and with warm breath, will kiss my head
Then tells me
"Hush, hush little sweet one....,
...go back to sleep"

In honor of Constance's Contest: "Give Me a Kiss, Mommy"
By Carrie Richards 10/6/11
My drowsy eyes turn to wander
Where window gazing, finds a crescent moon
Rifting the darkness, and against it's light
A magnolia branch is stenciled, black and keen
Three stars are tangled in the topmost bough...
And because deep loveliness is there,
I turn to you...
You lay in half light
As the fringe of dawn approaches
Breeze stirs the sheer lace curtains
Our room is infused with crimson hues
I’m wishing you might soon awaken
But you are sleeping soundly
With such contentment
It seems all the worry lines
Have disappeared from your face
Your legs are tangled
In the softness of the sheets
Your familiar hand now lies
Gently on my waist
The profile on the pillow
Is that boy from long ago
I love watching you
Your lashes are fluttering
What are you dreaming, my love?
How could one explain
That a love like this exists
Before coffee, on a Thursday morning in a shadowed room?

PD's Contest: Any Valentine Will Do

. in mortar of stones
silent masquerades revealed…
recessed yesterdays
..........
the day leans heavy
upon contemplation….
thoughts flow as rivers
...........
breezes meander
through castles of reflection....
a tiptoe through dreams

(Hey, there isn't anything wrong with Poetic Male Affection, even Poetic Genderless Affection)
I better stop sucking up. I suck at it.
So amazing, it seems to be..
that joy is found in simple things....

The wave from a neighbor
over a white picket rail
The first sunny day, after a long winter spell
A wood pecker's drum, and the skylark that sings
Sweet berries I picked, overflowing the pail
Sweet soapy fragrance and a grandchild's smile...
straight from his bath...wrapped, warm, in a towel
Rays of yellow of sunlight
shining bright on the floor
And a wreath made of grapevine
hanging from the old front door
Our calico cat, curled snug on the rug
a kiss on the nape, a brief little hug...
Old books, gently used..... old photos, often viewed
one teacup that was hers, a memory, dear
My locket, a keepsake....inscribed with the year
Given with love, from someone not here....
All treasures, these things..so simple, so clear
Filling my spirit, when I feel despair
Seeds of true happiness....aren't very big
Just look around you......so simple are needs
These things that I will always recall.....
Simple can be the most precious of all

Sweet island of the tropic moon
Who could paint a dream as this
Believe a sky could be so blue
Or know a place, like this exists
Where gold reflects the ocean sky,
Sweet island of the tropic moon
We come to you where breezes kiss
And passion fills a heart with bliss
Where ancient palms could sing and sigh
I had not heard a wind could hum
Or breezes too, could play a tune
Or birds could wear a rainbow hue
Beneath your moon, a sandy cove
My passion came, and turned to love
And left me warm and worry free
Along the rise and falling waves
All cares are gone, they’ve blown away
Into the mist and distant seas
~
