Long To a higher place Poems

“Only from the Heart”

some verses like 
ancient parables
 
in dusty tomes

Like Christmas 
all come at once
So too, to the 5th Dimension 
a motley crew had arrived
They were all now
One Flew Over the Cuckoo Nest

all behaving like...

BOADICEA

FIRST STANZA
Boadicea!
Oh Boadicea!
I mourn for you!
Since the day you left us
Our lives has been blue
To defend Britain from the Romans
You laid down your life
And saved your people from the Butcher’s knife
Liberty and justice was all...

We wait around to grow our wings
and find our paradise above,
at last fulfilled and wanting nought,
eternity in peace and love.

and tell you of the place I’ve seen,

have you ever felt like you've taken the fall?

who knew who knew?
The story ends
hands clean and messy
someone stupid like you?
indecently in the mirror i see

authorities alive thought i might die
eyes take a good look
smiling gunshot...

Trying to dodge all these hedges and thorny vines strewn.

As many words as humans have ever created
I would imagine
All kinds of descriptions anyone can...

This is karst country
New Market is a mountaintop
She sits on a limestone hill
And sloping down to a sudden drop
We come to Middle Quarters still
As water in the bulrush 
On the wide chest of a broad...

how can we really think to be judged, for all the things we have done
unless our...

A SADDENED EARTH
How many plagues will the earth survive, taking innocent souls to their death beds.

As their families grieve, daughters crying over fathers, children mourning their mothers.

Life is delicate like a lady bug caught in...

I tell myself
You will not define me
By putting me at the bottom
Or in a slightly higher place

I am not a favorite child
Thankfully my words remain my own
Spilled from tipped...

Secluded Lovers Nest.

Alone as one in our secluded nest
Made of love to be forever together
Heart to heart and heaven blessed
Lost in the cozy moment
Giving and sharing awakening blissful kisses
And sweet tender caress

Eliciting a deep flow...

So life has begun it’s battle
before your dreams have surfaced.

So God or man of a fatherly figure
doesn’t hear you cry,

Try to find some comfort
in some small sort of security.

You tried to understand...

There once was a chance
I didn’t take, a path
I chose not to travel.
It seemed that the wide
And well-used road
Was safer than the gravel.
I followed the way
That many had trod
And always watched ahead,
Never looking aside
Or trying...

It’s all wrapped up with strings
With sweat and tears, with joy and pain
Through hills and valleys I have come
A thousand dreams I dared to dream

Tears cause misty sprays.
Colder grew them both,
Love amid them was now an old growth.

Lovers wear on their poignant face a pair of abysmal drenched brows,
Each parted brow one crumpled, other rumpled...

I tune in to the channel coming forth & then
present what's coming through
A train of thoughts move like locomotives only
stopping for a few
From the ethers they descend like falling rain
precipitating flow from the sky
When they...

What is faith in this crazy world of uncertain times
It’s the never ending hope, it’s the quiet chimes
Inside your heart speaking to your soul
When the numbness sets in and all you feel is cold
Coldness inside...
