Premium Member In the Rose Garden

The intoxicating scent of roses 
Each single one caressed and moonlit kissed 
Gazing up at mirroring star poses
Silently waiting for the morning mist

Perched under honey sweetness of moonlight
As its warm caress cloaks the pair farewell
Turtledoves cuddle and nuzzle all night
Enamored under a crystal moon’s spell

Grateful for this evening's blessed twilight
Reverent I walk through God's creation
Peace and paradise on this wondrous night
Knowing this may be my last ovation

Sweet rose petal caressed nigh my demise 
I'm ready, Lord, I've said all my goodbyes

We can hide from life with umbrellas 
of daisies.
Walk in forests pretending we are 
cute as squirrels.
But, alas we live in a real world.
You know~ the one we fly above?
Where life is all about turtledoves?
And yes,alas eternal love.

Reality smacks us in the face!
We hide from it, as if it were a
disgrace.
Fearful to pen the truth about life.
We,like pre-school children, with 
shinned knees, and running noses
fying kites and kissing our muses?

We don't cry when our dolls do 
break.
We do wail when loved ones turn 
our carriages shake,
Best way to get attention here, is
for you to feign illness.

Aha, that magic trick children love to 
play!
Then come back well..,beware the
poet turned health-snake.

"Caim"



Caim 
in time
labyrinthine
tale swallowed
serpentine 

Caim 
in time
heart kept 
secure in the 
central fortress mine

Serpentine
swallowed
labyrinthine tales
cooed her love Basilisk
night terrors and turtledoves

Turtledoves
followed trails 
of diamonds dripping
through hazy windows emerald
reflecting you

precious pearls 
slipping wisdom o’er
rusty halos for a golden crown
we all fall down 
after rain comes sunshine

Caim 
You 
in time 
to find my love
labyrinthine

little fugue 
in G minor
Caim 
You 
in time

"The circle is open, 
but never broken. 
The love of Light 
is forever in my heart.

I thank you Light 
for lending 
your energy tonight.
I call the Guardian 
of the element of Light
to watch over this sacred circle.

Merry meet, 
and merry part, 
and merry meet again."

Fugue in G Minor
Why is it called Little Fugue in G minor?
Bach's Fugue in G Minor for organ (BWV 578) is known as the "Little" G minor not because it is a work of small importance or even because it is an unusually short work in its own right, but simply so that it and the much longer and later "Great" G minor Fantasia and Fugue (BWV 542) might not be mistaken for one another ...

Premium Member Treasure For Maureen

A midnight ship with silver sails
And hoisted flags with scarlet tails
Is whisked by winds of golden gales
                    Descending from the skies above.

And though the decks are wet and soaken,
Still the hull is swift and oaken
So the course remains unbroken,
                    Trailing wakes of turtledoves.

With storm departed, then no sooner
Comes, unseen, a pirate schooner
Neath the nighttime, light and lunar,
                    Pouncing with a push and shove.

Though hope seems lost, a cyclone saves 
Dispersing foes and other knaves
With frothy foamy fisted waves 
                    Which strike like leaden leather gloves.

Secured, the ship has safely landed
- Left behind, the pirates stranded -
Passers-by are smiling candid,
                    Knowing not the worth thereof.

For hidden in the wooden hold
Is treasure bursting unforetold
- Far more than diamonds, thyme and gold -
                    It brings unbound a brother’s Love.

Blanket of Stardust Love by Linda Marie Sweetheart

"Blanket of Stardust Love"

beneath a blanket of stardust, soft melodious refrain
enchants golden moonlight while whispered words of love proclaim
affection and devotion sprinkled with snowflakes in horse drawn carriage
red velvet box tied with silvery bow, proposing lifelong marriage.

as sequined stars illuminate heart pattern of design
in wintry atmosphere pure warmth engaged emotions mine
an aura of sweet ambiance encircled as true turtledoves
caressed by kisses under a blanket of beautiful stardust love.

we pledged our special vows 'neath Summer's canopy twilight
upon a sandy beach in private alcove of joyous delight
through many years of tears and pain of heartache and sharing
your love was ever at my side for comforting and caring.

these golden years have fashioned journies we conquered together
love grows stronger when two blend one even in stormy weather
the depth of feelings increases as tender time rolls by
but in the end, through thick and thin, there remains you and I.

we celebrate our life so grand and thank God everyday
for bringing our paths to collide in His own precious way
in retrospect fond memories radiate love's glow
as stardust hovered over our hearts and started an irreversible flow.

Poem written by Linda Marie Sweetheart in 2012 before she left us for her heavenly abode. This is being reproduced here to honor her loving memory and muse with this post which is also being entered into -

Bay Area Nigh December

A tryst on a San Francisco trolley
that exhibits penchant amidst a glance,
for 'tis wintry time launch all, too jolly
save two turtledoves, culled cooed romance
left in steep devotion, neglects folly.

Atone solemn occasions ere chapel
doors left open, soul worshippers pass stained
glass multicolored figurines, dapple
its windows amidst Christmasy lights, trained
eyes in wonder, gulp an adam's apple.

Snowflakes patterned distinctly, blankets bare
grounds painstakingly, changing verdant green
to an achromatic dressed whitewash wear,
rotating perspective picturesque scene
consistent seasons shift that we now fare.

The Golden Gate bridge, waning its glit of
citrus rising, squirting into blind eyes
forced to shades, now visibly shone 'twas love
delicate trace of your countenance guise
as it chalks a blackboard wrote from above.

Raptured in Heaven

The unearth enraptured in Heaven's flock,
Those who have mourned, the meek, and merciful,
Answers to who holds the key to unlock,
Plus, hungry and thirsty righteous dreamful.

Newness befalls refreshed innocent breathes,
The unearth enraptured in Heaven's flock,
True turtledoves hail friendly laurel wreathes,
Harmonious life will be a cakewalk.

It is Grace who's at your door, comes a knock,
Your soul chronicled in the Book of Life,
The unearth enraptured in Heaven's flock,
Preparations made for your afterlife.

Prayers gifts comfort, freed from the abyss,
Your salvation resources round-the-clock,
He kept His promise--everlasting bliss,
The unearth enraptured in Heaven's flock.

Premium Member HEART THAT BRINGS TO THE LORD SINCERE OFFERINGS

February 2 Heart for God Bible Meditations Based on Leviticus 5-7

Key Verse – Leviticus 5:7 And if he be not able to bring a lamb, then he shall bring for his trespass, which he hath committed, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, unto the LORD; one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering.

HEART THAT BRINGS TO THE LORD SINCERE OFFERINGS

Our heart brings to the Lord our sincere offerings with commitment
As we call unto His name in our miserable predicament
Especially during iniquity-attacks, bringing torment
That incapacitate us against spiritual involvement.

Our heart brings to the Lord our sincere offerings with divine cherishing
As we cry for His help in our weak languishing
Especially during frustrations caused by goal-crashing
That pull us away against divine refreshing.

Our heart brings to the Lord our sincere offerings with gratitude
As we cling to His holiness upon virtues’ fortitude
Especially during struggles in our attitude
That weaken us against faith-increase and good works’ latitude.

Our heart brings to the Lord our sincere offerings with humility
As we cleave to His truth in our laxity
Especially during doubt-bouts and perplexity
That drive us against trusting His authority.

Our heart brings to the Lord our sincere offerings with thankfulness
As we come to His throne justified by His righteousness
Especially during craving sessions while tempted by lustfulness
That bring us out against His will’s blessedness.

Our heart brings to the Lord our sincere offerings with victory
As we cast all our cares to His throne of glory
Especially during prayerlessness’ visits midst anxiety and worry
That thwart us against advancing His kingdom’s territory.

Our heart brings to the Lord our sincere offerings with delight
As we entrust to Him our concerns causing to us despair and fright
Especially during doubts’ attacks along unbelief’s blight
That discourage us against continuing toward heavenly flight.

Premium Member A Walk In Winter

Twin, silver cathedral bells, sway and chime.
As every note peals out, clear and sublime.

No winds blow through the sky, this silent night.
The peaceful heavens, filled with a celestial light.

Arm in arm, down the icy lane we do walk.
Heart to heart, our souls they seem to talk.

A pair of happy cardinals, one red, one gold.
Go bobbing through the snow, so white, so cold.

Along the hillside, stands rows of frosted pine.
The fields, blanketed in diamonds, a vision divine.

Couples, young and old, seated in horse-drawn sleighs.
Making new memories, and reminiscing their by-gone days.

Nestled so close together, like two turtledoves.
All bundled up, with warm scarves and gloves.

Amongst white winter lands, we two do wander.
While our light hearts, are growing ever fonder.




Written for Isaiah Zerbst's contest - "Let It Snow-12 Paintings of Winter"
This poem was inspired by the painting-"Christmas Day" by John Ritchie

The Bowman's Shaft

Solo archer gathers mist of amour clouds, dipping venturous arrow tips in a veiled concocted potion, drowning its mettle in a whimsical bliss of a dreamt liquefied mirage that defines the elixir,

Cupids errant arrow is liberated openly o'er the arc of a rainbow, exuberantly hunting its e'er sought Terra, whereto, it scarcely flutters passed feathered twain turtledoves,

Trifle off-track as projected, titillating a canine whose tail waggles unceasingly as its tongue laps remarkable welcoming faces,

Then piercingly redefines a right-angle course, that mids passionately, a well-managed bramble with shoots flowering in vivid red velvets,

Calculably sailing o'er gray-haired couple, whose one hand hugging canes and their free hands locking each other,

Promised target a fused-kissed envelope proffering treasured eloquence of, Missing You, in numerous expressions, introducing assorted confidences perceived by yearning intrepid bluish eyes whose heart grows e'er fonder.
