"I walk this lonely and gray maze absence of noise for days,
till only my name be known." Quote by poet
Beagle, my small, sweet, faithful, warmhearted,
Regal, Harrier hunting hound girl puppy,
Loves to sleep on my armchair.
Fifth of her litter. She stares, with sun sparkling hazel eagle eyes,
Short, soft white, with patches of brown and black hair.
Her brown ears down like pendulums in the air
That swing back and forth when she runs.
Stands proudly with her head straight up and alert.
Her black nose never fails her;
It wiggles at the scent of quail.
She rumps inside and outside
With bumblebee boundless, curious, playful energy.
Tail high, cheerful and outgoing,
Happy and very yappy at times.
She’s humorous when her toy is her tail
An affair she chases over and over again
In a circle, having fun when she is excited.
Her bed is my bed in quiet, hush puppy, snuggly comfort.
I'm Leo the Lion, I am, I am
From the mystical world of Astrology
I'm generous, strong and warmhearted
That's if you believe in symbology
Not making this up, check it out
Masculine, positive and extroverted
If I listen too carefully, my head will swell
Which should definitely be averted
My wife suggested widening the doorways
Or I might severely injure my brain
Methinks my honey's being a bit facetious
But I love her a bunch just the same
I'm Leo the Lion, I am, I am
Just a fun loving guy who enjoys life
They also say I'm very broad-minded
Love broads but don't tell my wife
Fantastic fabulous frisky faeries flitter forever
Luxuriously loving lady-like likeable lilies
Obliterating outgoing outlandish ostentatious orchid
Wonderful whimsical warmhearted warlock wiggles wind
Effervescent ebullient elegant elves eagerly expedite Echinacea
Relieved rambunctious radiant roses replenishes rakish Rudbeckia
I'm Leo the Lion, I am, I am
From the mystical world of the Astrology
I'm generous, strong and warmhearted
That's if you believe in symbology
Not making this up, check it out
Masculine, positive and extroverted
If I listen too carefully, my head will swell
Which should definitely be averted
My wife suggested widening the doorways
Or I might severely injure my brain
Methinks my honey's being a bit facetious
But I love her a bunch just the same
I'm Leo the Lion, I am, I am
Just a fun-loving guy who enjoys my life
They also say I'm very broad-minded
Love broads but don't tell my wife!
Revealing the sweet way you make me feel unique
Intrigued that compassion and empathy I seek
Grazing me with warmhearted affection and love
Heart racing in gratitude to the Lord above
Tapering off deep loss; now words of hope I speak
Never needing anything but you in my life
Everyday I’m very grateful that I am your wife
XOXO I love you, like stardust we glow
Togetherness we shall spread and faith we shall sow
To be honest I know not why you adore me so
Outstanding caresses in the bed you bestow
Mesmerized by your smile; completeness I do see
Each moment means the most when you’re right next to me

1st place
you resound with an aria of a melody,
seeking only me with warmhearted
fondness.
I need you-
you crave my existence.
I feed you-
without resistance.
amorous with deep ardent eyes,
desiring only selfless deeds,
freeing me from all things that bestow
a reverie of troubles.
I seek you-
you found my soul
I thirst for you-
you drink me whole.
saturated in manners of sympathetic
devotion you sever my ties to woe.
benevolence has been guaranteed
and I am astounded by your tenderness.
for I shall always be your greatest weakness, you shall be my strength.
for all narcissistic purposes,
are you my yeyo,
my guiding light
my guardian, my knight,
my moon, my morning,
my moonlight in darker nights,
I am lightheaded, yeyo
and warmhearted,
by you,
my yeyo
I am even hardheaded.
I get violent for you, yeyo
I am weakened by the climax of your imagination
I dare not belong to another
I positioned myself for this very poison
tabooed by you, my yeyo
so love me.
Echoes cry in the distance with adoration,
as my skin lays breathless touching yours-
You bring me a longing romantic sensation,
oh God, I’m so grateful for your creation.
We break bread; feed each other affection,
my beloved, your scent lingers on and on-
We have this bond, a miraculous connection,
our love has been divine since its conception.
Bring me your lungs so I may inhale your devotion,
shower me with the light you so sincerely give-
I shall carry to you only my warmhearted emotion-
let us ignore all the madness, the commotion.
(So, I took his hand in mine, now we are entwined-
vows sworn with trust…beauty and passion combined.)

not that I
want you to suffer
its not that
I don't like you
but your animal person
is more favored than
eye (I)
is there bias
why yes there is
and you get all the bliss
with your big warmhearted eyes
you have all the love and no risks
and some very good
love me tricks
you waddle and you jump
you prance and you run
and still I see you
for what you
turly are
way to sweet
you make want to
barf up puppy love
I can't compete
this is just to cute
and you have some of the best
lovable, love me moves
so I'll get a sign
and write on it
'start A Trend
Give A Smile
'Hug A Human Stranger Today'
and we already know
who the winner will be
but you love us
*****sapiens, anyway
Mother always told me to keep my self-respect, Dad always told me to stay on track, Grandpa always told me to never let anything affect me. But what did I always tell myself? To raise my kids and to keep writing. Im warmhearted but also coldhearted. You can't live up to nobody expectations. I make mistakes. I'm hard-headed sometimes, but I've always been on the same road, & I don't plan on taking a U-turn.

five generations
connected to my grandpa
kindred forefather
parents united
unto them came four children
love to go around
mother faced cancer
a dear lady, my angel
adulthood so strong
adoring siblings
warmhearted and devoted
affections of blood
money not vital
wealthy in rich loyalty
assets of true faith
our childhood dog Bo
my sweet Golden Retriever
my canine best bud
united as one
roots form a family tree
belovedly linked

Say, could you give me
A little hand here?
I’m near the end
Of my rope
The world all around me
Seems to want to disown me
I’m down and
Near out of hope
I don’t ask for much
Just a kind caring touch
Just a modicum of charity
A bit of warmhearted mercy
So please don’t pass me by
With cold averted eye
For it’s only by a twist of fate
It could well be you in my place
I may be down and out
But remember my friend
(have no doubt)
We’re both family members
…Of the whole Human race…
A poem written about "Let It Be" by the Beatles
Sponsor: Silent One
"Leave it as it is" said my affectionate mother,
She saves me from the shadows in the night,
There are lessons I need to discover,
May I be filled with wisdom as we unite.
So many questions left unanswerable,
May the sun radiate until tomorrow,
Broken hearted and vulnerable,
Full of emotional distress and sorrow.
"Leave it as it is" said my lovable mother,
She sails me away to a distant island,
In times of turmoil the darkness smothers,
She taught me to be subdued by silence.
May there be a solution for accusations,
Resolution and answers for all questions,
For her, my mother, gave me salvation,
A chance the wounded find complete redemption.
"Leave it as it is" said my warmhearted mother,
Expand and accumulate enlightenment,
All the times I was excluded and suffered,
Her wisdom freed me from imprisonment.

My woman’s spirited disposition
casts dreamy masculine awakenings
which offer delightful fascination---
her laughter bestowing iridescence.
Through cycles’ darkening consequences
she provides warmhearted sanctuary—
a lighthouse enfolding disturbances
through graceful affection, eternally.
Manny Paras 21 Sept 2014
THE LIGHTHOUSE Contest, nette onclaud
-- This was difficult but challenging!
I go among trees and sit still.
The river of awakening draws the peaceful laughter of sunshine,
flowing in, and flowing out,
until any distractive discontentment is all but nil.
This is peace beckoning me as a warmhearted friend,
cherishing the moments spent with me,
telling me that I am loved.
And then the soft whisper of God,
"Awaken my child, it is the moment to embrace your destiny."
and then hush.....
the enveloping soothing calm,
my heart breathes beating and drinking in the acceptance, of His Spirit filled
identity for me.
And then Peace.....
