bald eagle a shield 
memories omnipresent
greeted by silence
over time the tears might dry
remembered for your valor

No love lost
  all these 32 years
still lobbing grenades
  shielding the tears

A heart cannot heal
  'til the anger's let go
throw the weapons away
  he's no longer the foe...

shielding autonomy from trade

seems to be the vogue as of late

leaving Europe hinders peace

tolls and prices increase

common sense marked as out of date

Rose Quartz

A Friend of mines once told me that when flowers die,
they were protecting you.
Staring at my broken heart, now I see.

Shielding my own blossoming beauty.
Protecting my soul from debris....

My inner Stonehenge
Shielding memories, encircled within
a circle of stone, no code to crack
time to let go, to not look back
let your circle of stones crumble to dust

Rotting away like tooth decay
Crashing down like a building
Dissolving like sugar in water
Just pain and no shielding
Breaking like glass
Chipping like wood
Been falling apart 
From the start
Fixing it we should...

Loneliness
trumps anger
as love
wields its sword

No shielding 
or armor
will lessen
or ward

Loneliness
a prison
its jailer
within

No ire
or fury
compares
— to its din

His heartbeat is 
what soothes me
Brings me the same peace
I bring to him
He be air to me
when on my own
I cannot breathe
His strong arms
is the iron wall 
shielding me from
the downpour of my
painful thoughts.....

and on that day of sun
the leaves of the chestnut
like arms are shielding 
from
sunlight’s glow
and I see through the dream 
like through mirrors
the garden with boats 
cranes
and 
tones
far steps of the sea 
and beauty
that is killing me...

Shielding the heart with an invisible armour to
Avoid falling in one way feeling.
...Preventing the painful heartache; linked to
The mysterious ways of love.

Let the music
empty my soul
let these sounds
fill this hole

for i fear
i cant take much more
and whats near
is a sore

a cut a wound
permanently set
on my heart
it bleeds regret

closing my eyes
covering lies
shielding goodbyes
it quietly dies....

Friends:

                                 Those who

                               Give their lives

                           Shielding yours from

                                      Foes!

Over multi raven weighted wire,
the azure sky laced with cotton attire,
shielding earth from orb of exploding fire,
slowly donned her darker dress.

Oh that gorgeous brazen flirt,
slow dancing above earth’s dirt,
watching me bask within my hurt,
heeds not my pithy request....

Walking on the warm beach
With sand between my toes and the sun overhead
Joy I reach

Shielding my eyes
I love watching the sea ahead
Tides rise

Content
Slowly I tread
Spent!

Walking on the warm beach
I love watching the sea ahead
Spent!

Sun scorching, sweltering, sizzling beach

My hardened soles resist the heat

Sunglasses shielding my eyes

White cotton ball clouds glide

Along deep blue skies

But I’m blue too

Intensely 

Missing

You
