A Woman's Eyes

Eyes...
Misty Windows deceptively 
Shielding Storms 
Blowing radar-less boats within a
Woman

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

Premium Member No Love Lost

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common sense marked as out of date

     The trees bent their boughs over the road
         shielding the drivers’ eyes

      From omens unwelcome in hellish skies
          through which blood-red entrails flowed

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.

Crumble To Dust - 5 Line Contest

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

Damaged

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

The Jailer Within

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

The Calming of the Storm

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.....

Once we were

The soft sun smiling 
down upon my feather-light skin
The trees listening 
to every crunch of leaves
The sunflowers turning
To see our pass by
The rocks shielding
And guarding our hideout
The moment remembers
How we once were;
Children

The Best Mother In the Whole World

Silence

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.

This Hole

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.

Behest

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.

Sun and Sand Minichu

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! 01.07.21

Premium Member Not the Same

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

Premium Member something old, something new

Listen to poem:
The US tariffs declares the plot is lost
shielding the tired and old, from the new kid on the block.
Focusing on the past admits failure to compete
with others on a level playing field.
It says we've lost all
hope in our future innovation
and bright sparks in our populace
to lead us to our prosperity!

First Frost

First evening's frost,
...a gentle touch-
to kiss the glass,
enrobing blanket 'pon the out,
neither heating, nor shielding-
...those unlucky few-
who chance upon it's love-
in the cruel chill of fortnight.

You First Loved Me

You First Loved Me





To know you is to love you

Because you first loved me

You wrap me in your loving arms

Always shielding me from harm

You loved me then and you love me now

I think of you and can only say Wow!

Thank you for sharing your love with me

Sharing my love makes me happy

Hinkleworths Diatribe

yes, yes
you see, my boy
we are the belts of society
you may hear such a statement and recoil;
for indeed, it is frivolous. but what is a belt?
a woven fiber, which must remain firm and taut,
and exists only to uphold a curtain
shielding from sight shameful and private entities.
entities that govern
all that we know

Raindrops From Your Eyes

Rain drops
Tear drops
Can't tell the difference
Not while walking in this storm

Cheeks burning up
Air ice cold
Eyes well up
As my umbrella protects me

Wish there was this umbrella
Shielding the rain
From my heart 
From the pain

Walking through town
Soaked shoes
Shivers and shakes
Then, my umbrella breaks
