Long Edelweiss Poems

I gotta let sorrow roll down my weary shoulders
Breaking down a billion boulders, revealing life’s folders
I hear the wolves howl at the after-midnight moon
I can hear them now – the predators scowl so soon

I’m walking...

Inside a grotto scooped out by a wealthy earl for his seated pleasure,
There sat a bard amidst the edelweiss strung 'round the hole of leisure. 

Fallen droplets of acidic water pitter-pattered in echoes across the...

Here lies the gallon of horse’s blood
and soldier lies beneath this hope now dead,
trapped within mans sin
waiting for bayonets kiss.

In this moment of war, these seconds of time
the shadow of foe merges into one
and fate...

As light breaks through mountain ridges
It touches upon pastures and cobblestone bridges
On top of the summit, tall it’d tower
a small and reclusive edelweiss flower

With kin of his own, for those were with the trees below
He...

(To the tune of "Edelweiss"... kinda)

Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ,
In the Eucharist You greet me.
Small and white, Love's pure Light,
You love me so humbly and sweetly.

Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity!
Word made flesh -- forever!
Bread of Life,...

I was once a reckless vagabond
Exploring the world with a brave heart and an empty  hand
People fear the sound of my name
For I am wild, savage, and untamed

I’ve fought countless of battles and win...

Have I ever told you why you remind me of edelweiss? 
The tiny little white flower, with star-like petals that bloom in all directions?

Have you ever seen edelweiss?
It’s small and precious, and like you it...

Eclipse Of The Soul
By: Noel N. Villarosa


Plants harmonize to the sun to bring life aglow
And to rest at the night’s luminary
The sea is waiting for the wind to blow
And serve as a cradle for fish...

For Christmas I got a Keyboard to play
I was thrilled to get this gift on this day
As a child, I studied the piano for fun.
My last piece was Bach and I was done.

Now that I...

The mountain stands tall
Climbing it puts fear in a soul
Below there are trees in colors of fall
The chasm between the rocks is so great one can’t see bottom of the wall

The higher up there is...

This is a slightly revised repost but which was formerly deleted.)

I climbed the high mountain,
breathed in the harsh high air,
really relished the beauty
of the valley where you lived.
And all because it was a custom

Sitting in the snow, I look at the holes in my boots. My toes are frozen solid as I stare at the winter sun that shines against my reddened face. I have no food, no...

As the blood drained from your body,
did it feel like going to sleep?
Why, then, try to staunch the flow,
you made the cuts so deep.

Did you have a change of heart,
realizing what you'd done?
It don't matter,...

Poppies in Profusion on the proud chests of the Brave
Old and aging survivors, of a time when things were Grave
Stones on a hillside, edelweiss under Moon
Light on a bomber’s wing carrying canisters of doom.
White hot...

A pristine gown of drifted snow,
the first since seasons past,
infused with subtle dawn-like glow
from mirrored moonlight cast.
A stillness falls upon the night,
encased in frosty breath so light,        ...

Won't say anything to the police. 
Let this count as an accident. 
No one needs to know. 
For months we prepared the ascent.
We knew the difficulties and dangers.  
But, you know, it's something that's...

Speak not to me of Edelweiss,
Come share this scene;
Cast jealous eyes towards Lucerne,
For by it’s banks, in verdant calm,
There reigns the White Angel supreme.

Mis-stepping tourists, hounds unleashed,
The rudest climes;
She only bends towards the east,
And when...

If we lived in a perfect world,
love would naturally abound.
And in this utopic dreamworld,
there would be no hurt to be found.

Peace and brotherhood would nourish
hope and idealistic dreams.
And Nature's critters would flourish,
in our oceans, rivers,...

For what dreams do you bring us,
With your champions pronounced in deeds,
And how many maids wait with longings in between?
Bring us dreams of golden tomorrows dear Edelweiss.

How many have fallen for you high one?

I picked wild berries, gathered ripening grapes
and tasted life's bittersweet wine.
From fountains of youth by the river shore
I spilled the gold from the Rhine.

 
 In Caucasian Mountains and the Austrian Alps
I sought the elusive...
