Sweep Over Poems

Music and Magic

     The lyrics sweep over me
        as a wave of enchantment
           over a magic forest

     The melody embraces me, lifts me up
        o’er highest treetops
  
     to a place where billowy clouds
        lull me to sleep

Impulses

  impish impulses
  sweep over me
  one more preposterous
  than the next

  I think I’ll take 
  the plunge and see
  if I can act on them 
  without context

Responsibility As A Bus Driver

Children can be pretty noisy while you’re driving 
As they are in your responsible care.
When you take the bus back to the garage,
After dropping every child at their homes or daycare
Make a thorough sweep over every row ensuring a child has not
Been left behind and make sure everything is secure.

Search That Bus

“How can a bus driver not notice that a child is still on the bus? When a bus driver takes the bus back to the garage, they are supposed to make a sweep over every row. “ Quote by poet. 

Children, our hope and dreams. 
Some of us spoil and make a fuss; 
Our streams full of knowledge that beams. 
We go to extremes to keep them safe.

 We send them to school so, they can learn 
in a creative safe and respectful environment. 
Their little brains churn all that they do yearn. 
We trust those adults to keep our children safe.
 
We wait at the bus stop for the bus to arrive. 
The bus slowly comes to a stop, the doors swing open. 
Children excited to be home after a hard day with a high-five. 
Our hearts into shock when our child doesn't walk out.

Your Empty Chair

Dreaming of how our life used to be
for loneliness now doth sweep over me
I feel you are there almost everywhere
though all I can see is your empty chair
Since that fateful day whence you did depart
your empty chair truly breaks my heart

The Harpist

Delicate hands sweep over the strings
Stirring chords and melodies meet,
The harpist gently plunks and pings
Producing music soft and sweet.
She does not smile, concentrating
On the nuances of each crescendo,
Tenor of the performance elevating
Each measure a startling innuendo.
The climax brings a stirring rush
Exhilarating orchestral responses
As over the audience falls a hush
The music its hearers ensconces.

Don'T You Dare Bury Me

Let me molder on the surface of the Earth. Leave me on dirt with dross and peace. Let the four seasons sweep over my husk. In blood crush dust and petrified grease…. A feast for my insect and animal pals. This circle is my best and oldest friend. I was given to this promiscuous box and now— I return it back to its righteous end. So grow! — Oh, wild oaken ladle! Someday you may scoop the sludge from my deciduous knee caps. If I have to, I will change my approach to suit the drought. My sun worn bones will sprout curlycup gumweed. While the wind will carve all of the chondrocytes out. I will take pride in my rotting. Leave it for me— Leave it.

Whisper Unheard

Relentless venom in a still river 
seeing out it's weak.
Tainted beauty cries
pure, sweet, eternity.

What was then
could not be now.
Such tales surely hold 
mistaken ground.

A whisper heard,
a voice in the wind,
Shadows sweep over,
darkness begins.

With each taste
there's little pain.
His burning venom 
numbs my veins.

Rid me from such despair,
beyond this paralyzed nightmare.

Bring me back to that still river,
let me hear such tales again.
Let the wind voice it's worries,
before it's darkness see's me in.

A Moment

As the Latin beats sweep over me,
I take you up into my arms,
The scent of coconut from your hair,
Your perfume drives me wild,
Your hair so black those curls so soft,
As we move it sways and then we lock eyes,
And subtly so subtly our movements made in perfect unison,
I feel the people staring yet the moment is our own,
as I dip you pressed so tightly,
Your bosom so inviting,
As you smile so delightfully,
You breath hot against my neck,
our chests now back together,
our hearts in rhythmic sync,
And now we walk and leave the dancefloor,
As the song has ended clean,
As we share a perfect moment,
And we go on about our night,
Now we interact with others,
Our private moment seemingly unknown,
But as we glance and pass each other,
Do they know anything about us,
And if they did would we really care?

Candy Horse Vs Dark Kid

The center of a star reflects just like a diamond...
Returning a pearl within each silver breath that one treasures...
With faceted panels, I promised I'd never...
Sweep over a deep sea of blue waves unmeasured...

There is a pattern woven inside golden petals that kiss the inside of my heart...
Parts of my heart that I've thus' failed to start...
With soft fingers dancing, you're forever entrancing...
My star that's eternally far...

Our Love

I watch you while you sleep today,
Emotions, so strong, sweep over me.
 A love so strong, it takes my breath away,
It consumes my soul, mind, and body.

I remembered the day we met,
How it was to see your handsome face.
I was a nervous wreck, full of butterflies and fret.
Prepared for you to bolt, but that was not the case.

That first kiss was so powerful,
It was as intense as could be,
I felt the “fireworks”, it was very magical.
That first kiss and your love have set me free.

Travel to four years down the road,
It is now the day we will wed.
My heart so full, I fear it shall explode.
Ecstatic that my heart had not been misled.

We are now husband and wife,
Forever, we are to be entwined,
I thank the Lord for our life,
And the path for us, that He has designed.

Lost Within the Tides of Eternity

Caress my thirsty heart
with tender words of love
Shower me in gossamer soft kisses
that render my soul to float to a higher 
places that transpire from thy  velvet
awakening exploring glove.

Plant the seeds of pleasure
that bloom on fertile ground
Show me thy treasure
and where thy sun kissed 
Summit we climb may be found.

Let us languish in euphoric
wedlock's private 
as warm waves like on a moody ocean
sweep over us
As we lose ourselves
within the enveloping deep tides
of eternity.

Warm Romantic Spanish Summers Night

A white walled Spanish villa
over looking a blue Mediterranean rolling sea
the fragrance of pink cherry blossom
and olive groves fill the warm night air
as waves of calm and tranquillity sweep over me.

Red roses and bottle of wine upon a table 
by the pool candle flames flicker and dance
in a calm caressing breeze
Soft gentle guitar music
charge the air with romance.

With a dark haired señorita in a red elegant dress
and hair styled to impress
we talk and laugh exchanging flirting glances through the night
then dance under the stars slowly holding each other tight
Kisses lead to caresses 
as we hold each others heart within our welcoming hands
For the night is made for love
She is my woman
and I her man.

Where Once Was Never True

Where once was true is now a lie
The deep dark ocean cries with pain
Mans mark is made and felt right deep
Stops not with the shore.

Where once the sky was clear and free
Ten thousand planes sweep over thee
Man marks the very air we breathe.
Stops  no more.

Sexual Senses Sweep Over Me

Feelings so fabulous
With a love so sensuous
It's like I'm living in a dream
Glowing with a bright love beam
Shining from your sexy eyes
Like warm sun beams from the sky
Penetrating through my body
Always on time--never tardy
With your kisses full of flavor
That I always love to savor
Your sexy smile gets to me
It's a nice calamity
When you flash it big and wide
I start to melt from down inside
Hair that bounces with such ease
You know how to always tease
Me with your poses and head flips
Your sex appeal slowly drips
Oozing with desired notions
As our bodies create motions
Joining two bodies together
That get hotter and much wetter
With each passionate slow touch
Sending a hot fire rush
Through two bodies joined as one
In the night until the sun
Burns brightly on this hot scene
Neither of us could contain
