Long Contently Poems

Stood I there, that last day,
On an iron bridge...
An aqueduct by design,
Where, looking dreamily out over
The Ernes Lower Lough,
My compressed shadow 
Momentarily paused -
To contently recline:
Amidst coy Junes radiant beams 
of sweet benign!
All was stilled,...

How fragile the world can be
And I know you've gone away,
But in my heart you'll always stay”  –Katie Melua

So blinded by tears 
Fighting off childish fears
There's hope to find; actually, there's some here in your heart and it can be hidden in your wit 
Sometimes, I don't mind being left behind come to...

I guess you can say that I'm a wilderness survivor junkie,
which is surprising for many because surviving isn't easy.
Anyone who tells you that wilderness surviving is fun
isn't truly surviving. They are just simply camping,
but venturing...

Lay down your old ink pen...
Rise from the table...
Push back your chair.
Gather them all up...
Put them out of sight now...
Place them safely in the cupboard 
Bare.
Wrapped in stiff brown paper,
Strung tightly together
With thin white string;
Turn...

The Shamans gather to discuss the oblivious reason
Dispel cruelty as fate opens for our unorthodox legion
Conformity’s blue armies will try to trap you and me in
Destroy notions preconceived, let the celebration begin

The mind is confused...

At first I called you Mama, then Mummy and then Mum
I lay awake at night 
Wondering how long you will be gone

I stayed inside myself, a lot of the time
I longed for your love
I just...

Thoroughly I believed in your love. In the words you spoke, I found truth. Wanting so to understand the depth. Glancing back I now can see, that your declarations were lies indeed. Love doesn't run...

Long time had passed, our road doesn't met
We keep on searching, but fate doesn't allow us
I removed myself from my shell to find freedom
Time you came unnoticed I wasn't there
I go to North, you came,...

Cool raindrops kiss my cheeks
A warm breeze rises within me
As I recall the moments
Which linger in my heart forever

The pulsating sphere of light and dark
Polar opposite lovers in the circle of life
Encompassing magnificent visceral nuances
Infinite...

Conversation with an Angel

I live in an average neighborhood, in Colorado Springs. I like to refer to my street as
the ‘all American street’. Most of the homes in my neighborhood were built between the
1890’s and...

there were times when I did not understand him
times when I fought with my heart, to remember
time would not forget the days that were so grim

it wouldn’t be that long, just before December
he would tell...

I have set in this corner too long it’s true
My hand rails are polished to a light umber hue
My spines have come loose, but they just need some glue
And my cushions have faded from a...

My Gramma as I called her, probably seemed no different than most,
But to me she was the very best, sorry - I really have to boast.
She had grey hair, was fairly stout and always wore...

I glide carelessly, smoothly, and contently through the deep, dark, murky lake water,
Not knowing that the devious, mysterious, and ruthless hunter is quickly approaching
With the sole intent to plot against his prey then mercilessly yet...

Finally, my little girl is sound asleep
after multiple bedtime stories, I plea that she will not make a peep.

Hugging her favourite teddy bear ever so close
the blissful sight is as precious and delicate as a...

It is foolish to feel so good, you forget about before.
It is foolish to feel so bad, you might again explore.
It is foolish to feel anything, anything but your core. 
It is foolish to feel...

why is it that most people are always seeking wealth?
they will push themselves to the limit and disregard their health

it's more of a burden than a prize

My Kentucky in Fall
 
Peaceful country roads winding through meadows and hills,
and golden rays kiss purple asters, tall ironweed and abundant goldenrod.
Gorgeous colors are greeting me despite the warning that drought 
would hold them back...

I see a tree outside my patio door; it’s tall and gifted with so much life.
It’s bark flows in connecting patterns, they come together then flow apart.
It echoes the patterns of relationships that so often...
