Swiftness End

Sip the wisdom's ink
Be silent on the thought's hatch
Let's seize the fast day

Premium Member As I Walk-Vi

As I Walk in contemplation 
I find the swiftness of change 
to be unnerving at times 
rules are revised without warning
variations come and lives are altered
deprived of rhyme or reason
I'm astounded by the anger 
questioning change creates.

Longing a Forever

Comfort you bring,
as warmth greets me with
pleasure
through your rays.

A gently touch furthers the swiftness of 
affection,
and a longed care appears through your
tender kisses,
sweet touches,
and soft eyes.

The sweetness of
your light, how I wish
to bask in you
forever.

I Too

To those who are bestowed with the strength,
And the pacing swiftness of the *steed
And have ran before
Let them go,
I will run slowly
And I Too will get there.

Swallows

Swallows
- for the morphologically inclined

No sheep 
to bumble about alone
weighed down 
with individuality
upon the ground
we surge 
in sweet 
and singing swiftness
across the sky
shape-shifting 
all as one
to sculpt the bright 
and empty air
with wings of light

The Great Pumpkin

It's never too soon take ye heed and prepare for the night of All Hallows Eve cleansing your hearts of all malice and greed that ye may be judged worthy and noble of deed... 
These words are a warning for he has been summoned and with a swiftness of wrath The Great Pumpkin Is coming!!!!

Darkness

Darkness falls all around thee
All around me the midnight comes
Rolling in with swiftness and greed
Consuming me completely and to the fullest
I welcome the cold and silence
Inside I toss and turn
Burning, yearning,withering
I find peace in the darkness
Darkness finds peace in me

Sea of Life

My soul, like a sea gull,
Poised in the midair
and scanned the wide and
shimmering surface of the sea.

Taking a stance to dive,
It swooped down with
grace and swiftness
and scooped up its prey--
Leaving behind unexplored
the treasures hidden in the
deep bosom of the sea,
as it soared skyward!
Form: Verse

Shatter the Shell and Raise the Swell

shatter the shell and raise the swell
the crispness and swiftness of a  southeaster fell
battered blue lips craving summers breast
the raspberry round,the milk,the nest

an inner thigh by which to sigh
the ears for tongues in which to lie
beneath,between,we two are spun
the speedqueen and the coin
together
one.

Premium Member I Know Better

I waited about six minutes but the person who was
going to show me did not come back fast enough
so I did it myself.

impatience is my first, middle and last name,
and often points out my laziness and swiftness
to depend on someone else to read the instructions.

I know better. 
I do better.
I am better than that.

Imagine

I dare you to go and tell to those
magnificent bald eagles, I too can fly 
away into the blue skies,
garnering swiftness from the wild winds, and to
Icarus that I can soar to the sun and beyond, yet
not burn my wings if I but close my
eyes and just Imagine.

Let Us Fly

let's fly away
like youthful birds
wings a-gile
limbs at the alert of swiftness
let's fly 
and arrive at the destinations
with up-right brainy
vision
a-glow in glory-land
where mountains are plain'd
ever-young rivers of life
where golden dreams 
of eden was at first 
birth'd for each soul
that on earth could 
trudge in hopefulness
let us fly!

Premium Member Whose Words are these Really

I read my words and laugh
For are they mine……..really?
They manipulate themselves into my typing hands
Before I can decipher whose words they are.
They come fast and hard.
My fingers are clicking with them.
Zapping them onto a white page with rapid swiftness.
Whose words are these? I ask.
My muse laughs.
She has me under her control.

Cupid

Last nite,he passed by
Shot so deep,so sly
The arrow beheld your name
Helpless, i succumbered

I sent him back
With your name on the arrow
With swiftness of a sparrow
He flew to launch attack

And this time
I hope a miracle unveils
That cupid will finish the job he started
The my blood was not be shed in vain
When he shot me last night

Premium Member You're In My Heart

There's no where else I'd rather be than sitting by your side
I know that's it's not practical but if it was I'd fly
To anywhere around the world, no compass would I need 
My heart knows where to find you, and to get there I would speed
With all haste and swiftness not to waste a second of my time
In getting to you Songbird, my soul mate most sublime

BONDED STIFF

Our love knows no swiftness;
It’s tied and bowed in stiffness.

Our love life is no played game;
It is an everlasting bond attained.

May our love ever be as if a royal palace evening ball;
An orchestrated ball, admired and wished for by all. 

May this precious bond between you and me,
Be granted an ever-blessed bond of  eternity:-

God Blessings

The love of relatives and friends,
Days without end,
The love of nature and song,,
The picture postcard of winter,
Skiing on a mountain,
The swiftness of a breeze,
What magic god creates for humans to enjoy,
I am astounded by his mercy and benevolence,
The love between man and woman,
Blessed with conversation,
Thankful to the Lord for the days and nights,

Premium Member Power of Luna

Moon threw the stars across the sky in a streak 
A fast burst of twinkling diamonds emerged

Energy personified, the air felt cleaner and newer
I marveled at Moon’s prowess and swiftness

One second a curtain of dull gray with fading trees
The next second a sparkly stage of illumination and hope

How powerful you are I told Luna, smiling at him.
He slipped under a cloud to smile, away from my eyes.

Restless Heart

Restless Heart.

Moonless night is peace
Full moon and my poor heart aches 
For the impossible
Let it be said with swiftness
I’m incurable romantic 
When the moon hides 
Behind clouds of indifference 
Her absence hurts
But I will deny utterly
That I care about romance. 
 What I hate to see
Is an anemic moon at noon 
Tells me off failures
I should have said I love you
But in a bar a girl smiled.

Premium Member Chosen

Not for the beauty of your face,
nor for the greatness of your race. 
Not for your location in space,
nor because you won first place.

Not for having a special trait,
nor even because you were great.
Not for your dignified estate,
nor because your ways were so straight.

Not for the swiftness of your pace,
nor because you won the race.
Not for some bloodline I could trace,
But simply because of My grace.

Nicole, My Cheery Friend

Nicole, Nicole
You are so cheery and free
Nicole, Nicole
You are the stars in the night to me

Your sunny personality (I can hardly describe) lingers around me 
And it really made a big impact on me 
Your outbursts are hilarious and your swiftness is like a humming bird
Flying dramatically and your wings are preciously absurd 

Nicole, Nicole 
How long will you remain energetic and free?
Nicole, Nicole
You are the rain pouring playfully

The Sun Kissed Your Lips Before I

The sun kissed your lips before I 
Trespassing in our dusky room 
as night dressed a gown to die 
embracing her glorious doom.
 
A smile rose and faded away,
Blessing you with a red fair,
My heart trembles as you sway 
Carried by the unwanted pair. 
 
A sigh grew within your bosom, 
Moving with steady swiftness, 
With no trace of sunrise poison:
My name given with keenness. 
 
Then, I recall your sudden cry:
Love too, kissed you before I

Premium Member I Feel Her Fury

She is furious; I feel her fury.
Taste her anger; my eyes open from sound slumber.
BANG!
Storm’s loudest cymbal.
I smile, picturing trees lying flat in a straight line
Maybe oaks, genuflecting to her power.

I will come back as a storm.
I will be furious.
I feel and taste my fury,
I am maniacal and mad.
Oaks and elms will lie flat, amazed at my swiftness.

BAM!
I smile, loving her strength.
I hear rain 
Gentling her
My eyes close.
