Premium Member The sands of time

The sands of time

Sand castles

Sand is the word

Inexplicable

To seemingly mold

Itself into time

We are Sand...

Burning Sands

Blazing sun and burning sands,

laughing squeals of delight.

Glistening waters, crashing waves,

Beautiful partner, what a sight.

Sands and Pearl

the sands,
Depending on which you meet
Depending on how long you've been endure

remain as sand,
to become a pearl
It varies.

Shifting Sands

My feelings are a house of cards,
My will is the glue,
Without the will of wisdom,
They would be toppled by you.
Where, pray tell .. is my wisdom?

sands in my hand
     trickle as I close
my palm to grip them

    I whisper your name
as my teardrops
    flow with the sands

you let love slip through your fingers
where you once held the key
now you're haunted with regret
and have nowhere else to flee

Grains of White Sands of Diamonds

Time is definitely of the essence
Floating on down like a fine tune caress
The effervescence of leaves calling sounds
Like grains of white sands of diamonds.

As I Leave the Salty Sands

After the oceans salty sands
I dive into the deep blue
T shirt, and let it flow over me
Jump into my shorts
Wade into my shoes
and leave the shore
For dry land

Plowing the Sands

We are reasoning the limitations of women,in Islam,but we are giving non-religious freedom to women in our own land,what we do,is not defending Islam;It is just plowing the sands.

Premium Member A Poet Named Heidi Sands

I know a poet named Heidi Sands
  Who, when she waves her magical nature wands
Her skies are a pastel of the clearest blue
  That smile down from heaven's canvas, for me and you

Premium Member Sifting Sands

   Treasuring every moment left
     waking hours become minutes
       become seconds, sands of time 
     sifting through our fingers and
       the very sinews of our beings

     sand whispers softly,

                 waves gently kiss the shore~

                       nature`s sweet embrace.

Premium Member Shuffling Souls in Shifting Sands

Listen to poem:
Shifting standards in drifting sands,
where forgiveness is a sundae treat,
spins the wheel of fortune
to shuffle-card mode. 
Where truth is discounted, 
by dealing cards face-up, 
and uncounted.

Golden Sands

Hands twirled
The magical wand
Feet skimmed
Over the golden sands
A celestial sojourn
My butterfly was born
Draped in colours
She cushioned my feet
So long
I'm homeward bound-

Sands of Time

Stones and Sands
Sanity on the rise 
Path in waves 
Foot steps onto hill
Freedom at will 
Drums in heart 
Pounding ill
When thee don't take to heel 
On these sands and stones 
Thy life shall'nt be lived

Premium Member A Rock On Lonely Grain of Sands

I just a lone lonely grain of sand; Strained on this barren island; Oh! So covered in rocks; From the bottom of my feet to my neck…

Golden Sands

As the stars in the sky
 Come out to play
 And the moon
 Shines down on us
 This tropical shore
 We visit once more
 To stroll hand in hand
 On its golden sands
 Where we first made
 Our wedding plans
 So many years ago

Premium Member Sands of Time - Hourglass

On the wings of a seagull the sun slowly sets
   Time flows through the dying light
 Like the seconds the hourglass begets
   Each grain of sand in time will write
 The days and years of humanity's plight

Premium Member Shifting Sands

Listen to poem:
fog and rain at the beach
until the sunshine returns

sand crystals soak up
each ray and twinkle

and soon the breeze
renders its warm caress

sands shift almost giddy
without a care in the world

Basking On White Sands

white sandy beach opened her arms to me
I ran to her shores lapping the blue seas
sun, water and wind blend
her triple treats a godsend
sets of big waves came, and white sands glee

Premium Member Sands of Time

The sands of time trickle down,
 Measuring the days of man,
 Who now has lost his spiritual crown
 And has abandoned salvation's plan.
