Long Pine away Poems

2.

Off into the distance, total darkness,
to the right where all was light
Divinity thy beast is coming
from his land of endless night.
The thunder and the lightning playing
terrors own sweet symphony.
Darkness, which is soul destroying,
brings the man...

often hidden, and hard to define.
I have won, and lost, and how
i long again to win your heart for mine.

if i gave up everything i had,
and stand alone in a...

Future full of hope, nothing could stand in our way
But dreams can change, visions fall...

Like a tsunami from the ocean
I want to churn everything, inside out
But rue the fact that, 
Like a bubble in the air 
Have to be content with only 
Being fidgety inside myself. 

When the rocks...

I don't say the many things I should;
A sometime poet who runs out of words.

I get distracted once the wine is poured.
I'm not sure the things I say and...

What happened to all the honey bees
That used to swarm all around and abound
And would cover the fruit and holly trees
Now, you rarely see them buzzing around?

Where have the huge flocks of blackbirds gone
That I...

Award Won By My Lord

We would open envelope with a sword;
Read name receiving Academy Award;
Bible also read;
Good news spread;
Gave an Emmy graciously to my Lord.

This is what winter brings.
Depressions vines climbing its way back across the mind.
Fleetingly vamping across acres of its inner shell.
Cutting all the warmth that was once held within.
Freezing to the inner core.

A stillness spreading sadness,
An...

Oh precious noble sunrise gift 
Collecting small pieces of mosaic to a beautiful love
You're my majestic rose whom blossoms deeply splendid
Flowering a Princess young and lightly blushing regal sovereign

Song of the Sojourner

From far, far, away,
In this land so foreign,
Memories of you haunt me.
I pine away in craving,
For the feel of your breath,
Cool, soft and saline,
Fanning my face, gently.

Memories of our first embrace,
As I...

You gave me a magic walk in the rain
Those beautiful sunsets time and again
You gave me glimpses of your beautiful mind
Love that is gentle, tender, and kind.

The rainbow, the blossoms, sweet scented flowers
You gave me...

Usually feeling very upbeat and happy
But even clowns have their days
Probably brought on by the Christmas season
For those old days we pine away

A young family just starting out

misery and loneliness overwhelm you when I die
You better mourn over me missing me a lot
even with another don't ever let me be forgot
Make your home a shrine...

Do you wish to hold me?
We can drift on the sea my love,
under the stars above.

and still inside so sad

Crusty old oaks
wave brittle arms angrily
overhead, threatening
to drop dead
crushingly
heavy limbs
Down

Taller trees
having achieved
the highest heights
pine away, lonely
jealously pouring their
sharp needles
Down

Towering above
terrifyingly insecure
in their position
they shakily
throw their shade
blocking sun and rain-
trying to keep me
Down

What did I do
