Gone With The Wind
Gone with the wind so many years ago
Your song plays triumphant
My heart still aglow
I've never forgotten
All the stories you told
All your hopes and dreams
In a loving novel bestowed
Goodbye my loving fortress
With all your colors aglow
Soon I shall find you
A glorious moment to be told
Waiting for the day picking flowers along the way remembering reminiscing at all the love you gave away

At dropping of night comes the wind,
bringing sweet dreams filled with magic,
until I awake with the morning.
The bright light of morning
displaces the wind;
all dreams disappear, and the magic.
Why does loss of that magic
give such grief in the morning?
Oh, return sweet night with the wind.
How sweet is that wind at night with the magic;
Sisters, please unweave the morning.

In the realm of dreams and gaiety
A rose blooms in my heart, glamour strikes with vivacity
My stretched hand reaches to fondly pet the palm
But like wind, the goddess ghostly evanesces with a calm
Dotingly I endeavor to serenade the enchantress.
Off the warbling lute the soft ditties sing
From the changing tune, the pitch to the ears sting
Yet with a sparkling giggle your spook infatuate
With fortitude, realms I’ll cross to graduate
The school of endurance you command with shrewdness
With agility I fly, but you’re too fast to reach
Roaring water crushes at the beach
Sand so calm I hanker to hold
The setting shining sun glares, with a frail I behold
Because am in love with the wind
Slacken my love! Off my feet you sweep with desire
My heart you take; sturdily I admire
Like a magnet, your enigma besots with charm
And the goal to get I’ll praise with a psalm
For I loathe to crush on the wind
The world will mock, but the love will shush the chatter
A future so bright they’ll hail the latter
And applaud our allure’s perpetuity
With fantasy our posterity shall sing of a deity
For all is possible, even love with the wind!

"gone with the wind"
gone with the wind
are loving hands
that touched my heart
washed by high tides
are shining eyes
that sparkled bright
silent of sound
are your whispers
embraced with song
now suddenly
gone with the wind
your love has left

Eyes closed
Birds be chirping
Evening warm
And sky be gray
We hear construction
I met the wind
And after a busy day
Asking questions
Making conversations
With the warm breeze
And say goodbye
After evening ends

Waltzing with the Wind
See
the breeze
sway
the leaves
to-and-fro.
Watch them
dance
around
with the wind
waltzing in time
do-si-do
as they
move
and swing
with the beat.
Only stop
when
the wind
goes.

Weird we could not find one American to play Scarlett O’Hara.
I was irritated until I saw Vivien Leigh’s eyes,
reminding me of Elizabeth Taylor.
How many are half as beautiful? Rhett Brother is not so very handsome,
But his devilish manner and his suave manners make up for that.

during our yesteryears
we made no appointment
to catch up our close friends
their doors were always open
friendly warm smiles greeted us
whenever we walked into their home
not quite so today
when plans are made
mostly at outside locales
the conversations guarded
idle banter, wit but less warmth
leaving heart feeling hollow inside
now there’s no such thing
as a 3am trusty friend
life as we knew it
has collapsed

The family here and reminiscing.
Hats, horns, ready for midnight kissing.
But no, not this year, not meant to be.
As sudden high winds tore through our trees.
The windows shook, a frightening storm!,
So, this year, no chance for hats and horns.
At nine o’clock, we lost all electrical power!
As the rain was vicious, more than a shower.
With deep regret, I sent my family home.
Then in the dark for a lantern I did roam!
The room lit up as I frantically desired,
But alas lost the central heating fire.
The temperature in the room began to drop,
This storm, indeed,a true powerpop.
I found an ancient, portable radio.
Found a tepid Las Vegas radio show.
My cat leaped up on my warm tummy.
Upon a plaid blanket comfy and fluffy.
My Guardian angel protected my family
from harm.
As a tree fell on the darkened road in the
winds and rainstorm.
So, dearest poets, I decided to call it a night.
Hopefully, next year’s New Years won’t be lonely,
but brimming with love and light.

while my poetic soul
wandered free with the wind.

When you’re young
you run with the wind
laugh in the face of time
Of a sudden you’re old
you hobble, chagrined
every step a tortuous climb
Though if young knew of old
as old knows of young
no melody’d ever be sung

Across great plains and in rich soiled valleys
on tall and slender stalks, they dance.
They sway to the tunes as Mariah plays,
Her flute whistling notes in wind songs.
They bend and dip in choreographed allegro.
Amber cobra's hypnotized by gentle breezes.
Mighty Sun, Ra, smiles down upon them.
They praise him for his fatherly warmth,
helping them develop to maturity.
Deeply rooted children, fed by the soil
Elements blend to nourish the golden crops,
nursed at the breasts of the Goddess, Rain.
Harvest reaped and grains thrashed
sacrificed as staples for mankind's need.
Now the plains and valleys lay bare,
replenishing their cupboards
to feed the next seedlings
implanted and given in to their care.

I had reasons not this,
had a vision sadly it died
No night vigil straight to the grave & no one cried
Voice of reason decided to hide
Glued to the wind my sunshine
Could not care less
As it built a shrine
Blowing away with my sense of self
And from afar the unspoken word danced chanting refusing to be kind
Painting pictures not appealing to the eye
Demanding peace should die
Gifting walls guarding my thoughts with the ability to fly
