the heart grow fonder

not those yonder...

I wander and ponder
And couldn't be fonder
Of things I've seen yonder
Driving in my Honder....

Peace 
we sow
grains so small
fonder that grow
in places for all.
Harvests we reap
love we heap
heartbeats'
feats....

A fonder
tides in life
to secure.
I dreamt that
some years ago
same so how.
How can I
waste the world
like pirates?....

Separation makes your heart grow fonder, 
whether it's hours apart or a need to wander.

very nice to me
lived far across the country
the perfect distance

Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Missing you for longer and longer

Deathly afraid my heart may burst
You may love me best...I love you worst...

clouds as fluffy as the whistling bliss
encircling in the sky, eyes fonder and kiss

abaft the hidden pillows of lace
brightness over hays above Thy grace...

Distanced, polarised,
both our hearts yet beat as one,
tango dancing in the void.

This separation 
is illusionary dear;
distance makes hearts grow fonder....

From a broken Heart, does one recover:
To know you will always love the other?
When discarded like trash, far too late, alas! 
You soon discover you long for that Lover?...

Cold and bother as the night 
Grow longer. 
And the day makes it shorter. 
Seasons changing. 
May feelings grow fonder 
To start to wonder. 
Like stars shine brighter....

Winds Blow Weeping Willow

Ship moves as the sails will billow;
Beside river was a weeping willow;
Down yonder,
Grew fonder;
Had dreamed with head on pillow.

Familiarity breeds contempt they say
Just as absence makes the heart grow fonder
Is this the reason couples fight and stray
Seeking their true love way out yonder?

Beauty
Aesthetic grace
Is muted for a time
Weary eyes searching the darkness
New dawn..
Absence makes these eyes grow fonder
Beethoven's sonata
Comes to a close
Sunrise

Love like no other   
Obsolete from intelligence 
Vexed to ignoring all the rules
Ever so blessed to be with you

Young hearts no longer
Only growing fonder by day
Understand, these days are gifts...

'Absence makes the heart grow fonder'
   once wrote an English poet

by name of Thomas Haynes Bayly
   who surely ought to know

For Tom's been absent since 1844 ~
   yet fonder of him I do not grow...

Absence makes heart grow
Fonder, longing for you, love.
Each minute you're gone it aches. 

Long to fill your dreams
Your desires to the fullest, 
With our cup running over.     ...

Distance makes the heart grow fonder;
I prefer you over yonder.
If you get the urge to wander,
opportunities to squander,
find another place to launder.
Maybe once just stop and ponder
        why your life’s this way....

It seems forever, you've been gone
I lay alone and ponder;
does absence truly make 
the heart, inevitably fonder?

Yet here I wait in loneliness
as you are way off yonder,
pursuing that which makes
your heart, inevitably wander...

The hint of love-mist in our eyes,
     my whispered hello,
     your perfumed sighs
The fleeting moments when we met
     linger with me, Love,
     and yet
Though fonder moments still we dare
Those first remain the best we share....

My heart is cold
Because it was told
That you betrayed me
And it won't let me be
I want to know why
Would it matter to you if I die?

I sit here and ponder
Of you, I've been fonder
I don't know how to let you go
And I don't want you as my foe...

A journey landing in December
Road to the Moon of wonder
Trip of four to remember
East of Eden fonder
Milestone is in the offing
Instilled dream becomes a happening
Strobe lights showing and playing

Second-scheduled mission, but first crewed......

the 
bass,
the 
treble,
the 
high, 
high 
hat,
rat
a
tat
tat,
throb
and
pull,
a 
mad,
mad
pulse,
match
the
slow
pour
of 
a 
sloe
gin,
and
I
never
clap
for 
the
rude 
crescendo
of
her
tin
ear
and 
his
last
call......
