Sonnet Poems

Sonya was the best friend I ever had,
we were always doing things together.
When she moved away I was very sad,
she was my refuge in stormy weather.

Over the years I've thought about her life,
did she join Delta, so she could travel?
Or...Read More

" A sweet friendship refreshes the soul."

Many friends have come and many have gone,
such sweet beauty that stayed just for awhile;
I have a friend that I can lean upon,
others have left without even a smile.

And that has...Read More

a broken heart cannot be healed easily. it takes time and pain 
a lot of it 
it takes breakdowns and blank stares
crying for hours on end 
and sometimes not feeling anything 
another love won’t heal it 
it has to be...Read More

eerie ensconced eyes
salient spooky sight
kinetic kindled flames
bounty blazing brace
gigantesque gaunt gulp
taunted tunnel; induct

scrunched seeped smile
dripping damped drive
hoisted feelings survived

callous covertures creates
brain's busty ballet
sane senses strays

moistened mystic memories
damped dull dwindling.

Your sensuous eyes render me a fool.
How clumsy I become within your mien.
I stutter, stumble trying to keep cool
While all the time envisioning a scene
Of you and I together palm in palm
As sun departs behind the hillside's face,
And in the...Read More

Its meter and rhyme, delicate and sublime,
 fantasy surreal, personal appeal;
a couplet, quatrain or quintain, try them all in time
 but gather close to your heart
 the best way your words depart;
what could be bio, ballad, sonnet best
 as we...Read More

Butterfly, My Love

You have hair like golden silk. 
You laugh like clear water running over stones. 
Your eyes, they are the color of the sky, 
clear or stormy, matters not, they are the same. 

You have wings unseen. 
I know…
You...Read More

purpl'd eyes heaven
with tongue cloven
met mystic malady
embroidered ensconced epilepsy 
dripping damped desires 
jittery earth admires

saline liquid loitering 
deflowered dusts damping 
scrunched sans spooky

moistened mists melt
Jove's jumpy jets
twain trailed crest

dull disease dances
later lost traces
    19:11:16:11:56...Read More

The shroud of night slides from the silken sky,
rise of dawn with crown of gold has begun.
On my olive meadow pearls of dew lie,
dance of yearning starts with shimmer of sun.

Hues of lilac clouds drizzle, flush your face,
in my heart...Read More

My window pane puts on a winter scene
as silver specks of ice starting to seed.
Small pins grow with spiky bits between
and one pin lengthens to a dagger blade.

Then from the hilt a silver sword soon grows
and on each edge there...Read More

WHERE ARE YOU NOW?


Mascara pink lipstick ribbons and curls
Miniskirts no matter what the weather
We were teens two cheerful giggling schoolgirls
Enjoying bits of time spent together

A yellow ribbon round the old oak tree
We followed all the radio top hits
All night writing...Read More

My best friend is Line
I mess up she emails me with a grin
What a super friend my line
I can always expect a smile

Spelling wrong no sweat
Sonnet out of tune 
I know it’s not a lyric
Always there wanting to help

My best...Read More

Like-minded and loved
It than is easy to
Except your proposal
Might those we love than
Find it appeasing and perfect
Might togetherness keep us
And might love
Make those tentions
Resolved
Beyond the nights might
Mornings began days
Of harmonic and joyfilled
Doings
What disturtions of those days
Naysayers who wish is apart
Might...Read More

They are always there,
shouting, screaming telling me
to hurt you telling me I
cant trust you because 
you are the one who put me through 
all this pain all this hate 
all these issues my mind
is telling me some horrible things like...Read More

Salmon steak or fillet
Choose fillet or salmon
steak
Either way I can get it
Is alright with me

I enjoy a salmon steak 
Cooking on the barbecue
Or the fillet is tasty to
Either way I enjoy it

Salmon from a can
Is handy to have
For a salad...Read More

reviving rusts revamping 
frolic feigning feasts
damped desires drooping 
mystic mists moaning 
puked passion plying 
tactic tier tucking 

sour scrunched smoothened
pleasant parks heightened 
dark dances darkened

fiery flames simpering
mocking mystic mists
towering; twigs twisting 

archaic aura blending 
brooding base bleeding.

How to make my team work as asked?
Is it only motivation
at right time that makes them to work,
Or it's something else that hinders?

Working with them I had to learn
how to make my team work as asked;
Some starts work at...Read More

Being in love with You is my heart’s quest
to abide ceaselessly in Your presence
as You nurture me in Your caring breast  
midst divine bliss of peace-iridescence.

In my relationship with You, trust reigns
sealed by Your covenant for faith’s fervor
indeed forgiven,...Read More

Nicholas, my sincere and loving friend,

Walking all alone through the bleak abyss
The ravens watching from silhouette trees
Inspiration dead, writing I did miss 
A dark event put me down on my knees.

In the distance I saw gold rays of light
I hoped and prayed that it was...Read More

Words can not express the joy I get when I see your face
It encourages me to know I can make it from day to day

Words can not express the way I enjoy your touch
When we are together it's never to...Read More

She loved the skylark
And she loved the grub
She didn't love me
Therein lie the rub

I penned her sonnet
On scented paper
She set it aflame -
Vanished in vapor

You want to hear me say I’ll love you forever.
And yes, I well could say those very words to you: 
For after all, they simply state the current truth.
But at the risk of seeming callous or uncouth
They’re also words one...Read More

what causes me to make
 keepsake of these trinkets
there mire mention causes strain
than I am a hypocrite
with the mire mention of your name
you are whispers made over
a wishing place for men
you are the subtle overance of being
someone to make friend...Read More
