Premium Member Poetry Is a Blessing

Poetry is a blessing
  Like rain falling softly
    on the meadow
  Like morning dew
    glistening in sunlight
It gladdens hearts
  and sustains the world

You

Your name brings life to my soul
Your smile gladdens my heart
Your voice gives strength to my drive
Your breath is an endless fragrance 
Your warmth reassures me
Of an endless love that I crave

Premium Member The Reason

Seeing more goodwill to every child, woman and man. Finding kindness and generosity wherever eyes span. Hearts warm, greetings hearty, happiness this season. It gladdens us to know that Jesus is the reason.

Premium Member By the Street Lamp

By the street lamp I savor
my cherry-cola snow cone
while licking deliciousness 
from a mound of shaved ice as 
I slowly sip its sweet tang
and relish at intervals
nibbles from a lemon bar 
whose icing gladdens my tongue

Rainbow Parachutes

noontime rain gladdens the heart so,

     leaves sway, glisten upon the bough,

          as moist crystals drip and fall slo-mo,

               each parachuting on a mini-rainbow,

                     just to smooch the wet, grasses below !

Mini-Rainbows

Leaves sway, glisten upon the bough,

        noontime rain gladdens the heart so,

                  silver drops drip and fall slo-mo,

                             each parachuting, floating slow,

                                        haloed by a mini-rainbow,

                                                  down to smooch the wet grass below!

God's Love Is Always Near

S-ing a joyful song for you, 
H-appy tune gladdens the day;
I-n the beautiful blue sky, 
E-arly morn brightens the gray.
L-ight from the morning sun shines to bathe your heart;  
A-iming to warm your life, evening shadows and dusk depart.

P-ray to God on sixteenth January,
A-nd thank Him for another year; 
N-ever doubt HIs wisdom and power, 
O-ne love of God will always be near.

Freedom Belated

.

It was all a sorry mistake
   the judge and warden say,

      and so, after twenty years, 
      they finally set him free;

   strange, but freedom no longer
gladdens him in any way.



Leaning on a hoe, he gazes
   at the prison garden plots,

      sees in his tilted shadow 
      the past outpace the present,

   and what's left of the future
the past has overtaken!

Portrait


This portrait of you gladdens me
It looks like you; depravity
you’d hate it, friend
it’s pitiless,
displays your foul malignity.
Your smile, well
it’s ominous
vampiric canine alias.
The painter tried to hide that smirk
to cover sleaze in fancy dress,
not all paint can cover murk.
He captured your peculiar quirk,
that nostril flare of snobbery
you were a nasty piece of work.

Sweet Sleep

Hoping I will rest
Best I can in comfort arms 
Finished with life’s test

We all need sweet sleep
We, like sheep, roam and wander
Tired, so make no peep

Oh, pray fervently 
I cast my sorrows away
Wept deep inside me 

His love is endless
He grants us sweet sleep for life
Gladdens our distress

In need of wisdom
Also, I reap beauty sleep
Where’s future Kingdom?

Coping with tired eyes
Best I can in harmless light
Satisfaction cries…

I'M In Love

And I began to sing and write poems,
For her love, for her beauty,
This African beauty.
Wording the words I have never aired,
Wearing the smile of smiles.
If only she knew,
That my heart beats for no one else than her,
That I think of nothing else than her,
That my world ceases to exist without her.
If only she knew,
How my heart gladdens
And sing praises to the creator
Each time she’s by my side
And if only she knew,
That I’m in love with her.

I Admire Love

From a distance I saw the way she was staring at him
I couldn't possibly fathom what she felt cos I haven't been in
He must have captured her heart and ‘fort knoxxed’ it
I could see the love drool from her eyes and I loved it
Loved seeing that look and wish I were at the end of those eyes
Not exactly hers, but to be like that is someone's heart
I admire such beauty in love and it gladdens my spirit from within
I wish I could step into his brogues and experience it feels

Musical Interlude

Music plays
Body sways

Feel the beat
Tap those feet

Pleasant mood
Interlude

Back to work
Mustn't shirk

Garden first
Flowers thirst

Tackle weeds
Scatter seeds

Feed the fish
Bodies swish

Mow the lawn
With a yawn

Roses pruned
Nose perfumed

Time to pause
Go indoors

Cup of tea
Gladdens me

Hear the news
Get the blues

Switch to song
Sing along

Spirits raised
God be praised!
