On the deserted beach, underneath the moonlight,
That was where we kissed, I fell in love that night.
It wasn't just the summer heat that caused my heart to melt.
This steamy summer love was like nothing I'd ever felt.
The brightness of your eyes caused my heart to swell.
On that deserted beach is surely where I fell.
The touch of your hands set my soul to ignite.
I never felt like this before, a feeling I couldn't fight.
With reckless abandon we joined there on the beach.
With the stars shining down, heaven did we reach.
Wild and passionate we were throughout the night.
Still wrapped in each others arms to greet the morning light.
Our hearts, our lips , our souls were one.
The heights we reached will compare with none.
Forgotten
Even now, the seas swell farewell,
Once certain migrations bid adieu,
Smiling sunrise, once filled with love, now blisters to ash,
From my vantage point, perched
On a boulder above the past, I see the Earth melt in the sky,
Reminded of changes seen before,
Wishing only, that I could see you smile again, in fields of plenty,
Untouched by life’s cruel past.
Forgiveness bears weight no more,
Words that carried heartache and hope, now drift upward,
Like tendrils of smoke, uniting with clouds that comfort stars,
Lost in time…….. The ball, sent bouncing by a little boy, fades in the distance,
With no chance of return.
Higher ground, once sought as a refuge from the storm, does not exist.
Answers, plotted with furrowed brow, remember not their maker,
Remember not,
Their maker
Was this your dream?
Some wild restless imaginings
that sing and dance a fantasy fantastic
with the images once black and white
to rise and swell in pastel delights;
was this your sinister plan
to draw me in as easily as you can
to become some cartoon figure portrayed
in the highlight of your foolish ways/
Is this your dream
the play on words of pretended themes
where prince and damsel in distress
find they are together in love's test?
Then let it play out
the wisdom of the hopeful in doubt
to live and die in the great imagined swirls
to finally achieve the dreams of this world.
Let us loose upon the lands our children,
So they shall be in woven sunbeams clad,
And romp free in winter’s snow-lined cauldron,
Drink in star showers, by starlings’ flight led,
With the largess of nature often fed.
Let their minds be lodged in the greenest vale,
Playful under the bluest lagoon’s spell,
In earth’s bosom give them halcyon days.
With a lasting firmness may their hearts swell,
To suffer none to debauch nature’s grace.
I sit by the slipping sun along glistening shores that stun
Where my soul melts with age and gratitude
Languidly drowning in depths of sanctity and devotion
In the reminiscent ocean of its content and latitude
Such as this in the heat of the afternoon sun
Slowly dripping into the western sea-sky
With the fullness of its scope and splendor
Touching my eyes that ponder and wonder "Who am I?"
Within this point of light where my heart surrenders
To be as this in the heat of the afternoon sun that dies?
And as the warmth fades from view and is done
Surging oceans of memories swell like waves before me
Then part away like darting seabirds high in their run
As my heart is released still burning with synergy
Such as this in the heat of the afternoon sun

Quote: I know there is a place for me in this world, as I am needed. – Speaks Volumes (Wendy Horder)
-------
She is lover of family, sharp in thinking new
Perhaps a bit sharp in words, unmerciful too
Even before you think that you do know her well
All about your heart is calculated by her still
Knowing world better, her fact-finder job was swell
She is spirited, pious, lively & rhymes well
Vigor, value, family & friends she admires
Oblivious to concerns of health, she inspires
Little does she fear, stubborn doter, dog lover
Ultimate love is her quality gem, artless dear
More than anything else she adores poetry
Engrosses in shape-poetry & mystery
She loves humor, wit, wisdom, above all her country.
My worst fear occurred and I did slip and clamber,
With people watching my statements of thunder,
But I did shout my attributions of collectivity grand,
Until they understood not to tremor my shaky hand.
It was not thought to be bad, hurtful or piercingly sharp,
Rather it was analogous with a soft melodious harp,
So it took me all my intelligent mind and heart eager,
To reduce their mutterings down to that of a wager.
No longer were they disgusted at my renouncing distance,
Nor did they stage a joust in bold, contentious resistance,
But they asked about my qualifications and experience,
That my spirit did swell in cultures kind convergence.

Broken wing, cracked heel, dinged fender
There's always something busted to fluster intention
An excuse pulled from quiver,
To send arrow in reverse.
To pull away, questioning,
Doubt defeating resolve,
Willpower bent to neigh and sway.
The good ship "Self" is always broken.
Faults and breaks litter the decks
Patches and quick fixes
Good enough for now
Keep "Self" sailing, broken, battered
But feeling fine and dandy,
Unfettered by paraphernalia's blah and blah
A spirit with wings resilient,
Cannot be tethered by contraption's flaws.
Even sore broken wings, patched and fixed
Are good enough for spirit to soar to fore
As done so well, OK or just swell, before.
Bill saw a girl..She had lots of curls a sent
Like spice, eyes more than nice' she dropped some milk from the bag she held
Bill picked it up, a smile then welled on her face, he beheld' she thanked him proffuse, he felt his knees sorta go loose.? Her name was Lainey, and he asked he gamely.' Would she have time
For a lunch, as she thanked him a bunch.'
She sorta caught off guard.? Says i have
An hour free..If thats for tomorrow, and
You can be ove at one, i get my brunch and tea at the old biscuit factory.' Great
I'll be along answered Bill, his heart going
Like a gong.' Next day all went well; as life rushed along in its swell, they got married
And all, things rolled along Bill found he was boss, they survived each ebb and toss then the kids came along..and soon
Twenty two years were gone, the kids were adults and Bill had three jobs lainey had two, and they just about made it through each week, aint it true.? Someone
Once said to Bill, ( while he was standing still ) how do you find? Married life did un-wind.? Bill did not think too long.' He answered back such..When we first started out I was the boss theres no doubt! Now when the decades have gone
I realise that the shop floor of life, has turned me around once or twice.? And you end up working your way down..I find
I am now just a manager, with (no re-known.)

Sublime blue wings made of limestone
Soften your glide in the wind calm zone.
Flying low over the coast in search of prey.
Salted treats for the crab and winkles sway
Floating gently upward on narrow wings
On idyllic blue pearl wings, a seagull flings.
Dancing on the wind's smooth surface.
Flying low over the coast for hunting purposes.
Oh, seagull, seeing you made my heart swell with delight.
Your white wings are so pure and bright.
breeze carelessly through the sky blue.
when you're dancing on the winds that blew.
As you stalk the shore, I revere your overhead view.
Searching for luckless winkles and crabs is so true.
Briny delicacies, a feast fit for a gull,
as you dive and swoop with precision and pull.
Light, nimble wings lift you above the tide.
Gliding with grace, never losing stride
Every act is relevant, and each moment is sublime.
as you navigate the currents of time.
Seagull, your beauty is unrivaled on this site.
As you sail in the sky, your wings are heavenly white.
You bestow a sense of tranquility and peace.
As you glide and soar, your freedom never ceases.
I envy your ability to ascend with ease.
to ride the wind and feel the gentle breeze.
Your presence brings joy, and your grace inspires.
a reminder of nature's wonders and desires.
