Premium Member Mamma

 

"All that I am, or ever hope to be, I owe to my mother."

                                                Quote by _ A. Lincoln


I am on a long journey to see you today,
it will take many hours on the bus mamma;
I am bringing a flower bouquet bright and gay,
promise, not to bore you with my melodrama.

It will take many hours on the bus mamma,
as I get close I feel our forever love;
promise not to bore you with my melodrama,
not to weep for beloved who left for above.

As I get close I feel our forever love,
on Mother's Day I wish to honor my sweet mom;
not to weep for beloved who left for above,
it will be a visit tranquil, serene and calm.

On Mother's Day I wish to honor my sweet mom,
I open the ornate gate and walk beneath trees;
it will be a visit tranquil, serene and calm,
at your grave I lay flowers falling to my knees.

I open the ornate gate and walk beneath trees,
I am bringing a flower bouquet bright and gay;
at your grave I lay flowers falling to my knees,
I am on a long journey to see you today.

Premium Member Butterfly Flits, Sweet Nectar Seeks

"Don't deprive yourself of soaking the simplest things in life of what is around you, you will miss the beauty of what God did create that makes this universe." 
Quote by _ poet

A butterfly flits, sweet nectar seeks,
beneath the sun's outstretched golden rays.
Among the rich laden ambrosia,
a zephyr breath blows, sweet aroma.

A butterfly flits in its shadow,
lithe movement in wet meadow garden.
Beauty and waltz grace sweet nectar seeks,
among laden ambrosia peaks.

A butterfly flits where zephyr braid,
mutely flit slowly through pinnate leaves.

Runner

“When you find yourself in a hole, quit digging.”
- Quote by Will Rogers
----------------------------------------------------
Ever since a kid
I have learnt to run
Sensitive to what others say, feel, decide
When the say is crude rude hurting
When others feel I can be pushed over
When others decide how I should be
I run

Ever since a kid, I have learnt to run.
Sensitive to patterns on harm, hate, jealousy
When the harm is on sensible senses
When hatred is hissing between teeth
When jealousy manipulates paths
I run

Ever since a kid, I have learnt to run.
Joy touches heart, sorrow heats up soul
It takes courage to run away 
Than to stay put sometimes.
They don’t even know I am long gone
Being with them all the time
I run

                - Know your value. Confidence breeds success. Act like
                      the person you want to become, and people will 
                 start seeing you as that person. -  Quote: Mark M. Ford


                              Don't fear your inner confidence
                            Navigate through each fleeting day
                           with determination and perseverance

                                        Create the ability
                             notice how the confidence unfolds
                         Mental stimulation, prioritizing self-care

                                    A fortress built of straw
                                provides no impetus for action
                            everything will be gone with the wind

                When you are ready and have built unshakable confidence
                            Your perspective may be changed but,
                        the essence of who we are remains the same

                       Familiarize yourself with the low ant paths
                                Hold your feet on the ground
                            Achievements, decisions and goals

                         Confidence lifts the soul to soar upright
                         embrace your success in the face of life
                                 dare to show care and love

                           One day you might be strong enough
                             unfold your all-encompassing wings
                                an objective which can be caught


Premium Member Mythical

"Mythical creatures  arise in a labyrinth flight round a cloisters, 
a crown of flowers and berries they wear in fairyland." Quote by Poet 

Stars shiver in the laden cold with the moon's sight.
Autumn's chill sigh emotion thrown across the night.
The elves, faeries, centaurs, and minotaur physicality
in merry enchanting dance in the inner labyrinth
among the comfort the open courtyard invisibility.
Untold mythical young too; no mundane eyes could see.
Winged Faeries spin~dance holding an olive branch.
Dragons menacing roar with crackling fire of thunder
weaving between the clouds to catch the air above;
under a blanket sky, whirling in shadows of purple.
Magical serpentine fierce in all their mystic wonder,
incandesce scales in brilliant metallic shine livery,
to its subtle benevolence manner, bold chivalry.

Meditation For This Day Thank You Sunshine

A Thought Bubble Requires - Quiet Space 
                                                                   Quote by: Sunshine Smile 


Allow space to settle inside your mind and receive you like the sun 
let it warm your every image, then place yourself into the framework
of your peaceful, celestial body.
Sit quietly then expand the emptiness of your shape and form. 
(take a moment to breathe in, hold your breath then exhale)
A thought bubble requires time to expand, look through the 
iridescent light of your mind's eye and draw the Divine Light
towards you. It will shine within you and surround you with 
God's sweet protective love. Warm as a candle lit in the evening's
prelude.  The angels will surround you and offer you the quiet
space for your thoughts, desires and needs. 
Forget all of yesterday's worries and place yourself inside this
moment of pure Grace. 
(take a moment to breathe in, hold your breath then exhale)
Allow serenity to settle in your mind, then receive it, like  
the noon day sun...

Premium Member Lost Amongst The Night

"Do not go gentle into that good night."
"Rage, rage against the dying of the light."
Quote By Dylan Thomas

Smoky clouds float above slate skies.  
Powdery alabaster flakes of snow glide to the earth.  
A frozen taste of grief hovers in the breeze,  
while maniacal machinery grinds close by.  
The scent of industrial oil stings my nose,  
as your chestnut coffin lowers into the misty petrichor below.  
The pattering of moist dirt dings against the hardened box.  
Crystal-clear tears wash over my face,  
your warmth now replaced by a marble headstone.  
Hours pass under opaque moonlight;  
I sit with midnight winds  
and buttery daisies,  
clinging to the glistening stone,  
trying to find a way back to you.

Premium Member Filagree

"A filigree of snow is fragile and lovely, 
but even more beautiful when they are etched together."
                                                        ~ quote by poet
 
Fine filigree motifs are being drawn on my window 
Painted by the wind, holding a brush dipped in snow
Each pattern a fragile engraving in a different design
White roses climbing a trellis on their flowering vine

Soon, the frosted filigree will occlude the landscape
Snow covered hills blanketed by an alabaster drape
Never quite as beautiful as the white laced tapestry
created as if embroidered with snowflake majesty

My fingertips trace the threads as if they were fine lace
A meshwork of embellished tatting, frozen in place
Chilled, for a while, is this frost on each glass pane
until sunlight reigns. Such is their plight, their bane

Elegant scrollings that sparkle like diamonds, bright
Each delicate filigree will quickly disappear from sight
when radiant beams come alive at the waking of dawn
to become nothing more than puddles watering my lawn

Premium Member September Rhapsody

 

"Every leaf speaks bliss to me fluttering from the autumn tree."

                                              Quote by _ Emily Bronte


September comes calm and quiet with beautiful landscapes and vivid colors.
Gusts of cool winds bring scents of bliss as I walk my favorite forest trails,
I escape, retreat into a place that is a balm of healing, spiritual and emotional.
My hair a flowing river, soft as a cobweb. The bird songs a musical rhapsody.


blue infinite sky 
and stained glass leaves are drifting ~
          beautiful decay

I talk to the autumn forest and it talks back.  The trees lament their children.
Those leaves falling and drifting, once green, now amber gold, red, yellow and
orange.  They have let their emerald cloaks fall to stand stark against the sky.
Oh, hush of autumn, the silent serenity, where clouds swirl like gauzy curtains.


a journey of paths
with a concerto of birds ~
        rapture and delight 

I want to paint a picture with words. To fill my poetry with beauty, reflections,
and emotions. I wish for you to feel the enchantment, experience the sights,
sounds, smells, and textures rich in details. To see in your mind the shapes,
the colors, hear the rustling leaves, the taste of rain with a sense of wonder.


drums of time have ceased
the old forest waits in peace ~
       and birds rhapsodize
