Now This Is Love
The stillness of the night in silence quickens my thoughts of you.
Unhurried but in haste they come with tears of joy abundantly.
I feel your warmth upon my face as if of angel footsteps gently.
No more fear I this moment passing your love for me is true.
Longing for the awaited chance a smile to see, impatiently I weep.
I will not bear these hours wasted before you hold my heart.
For time and place has selfishly, knowingly kept us far apart.
Once more I wait till by your side in tender arms we'll love, then sleep.
To suffer for just one whisper of chance to hold close this love of mine.
Is pain enough to bear but pass it will and ceases then, the waiting.
For in her first breath, creation, our destiny was debating.
In a while soon, our lives entwined will be until the end of time.
I want to Live
I want to see the sunrise as I awake from my sleep.
I want to feel the warmth of its rays upon my face.
I want to touch the rainbow as it crosses the sky.
I want to breathe salty air as it comes from off the sea.
I want to know what tender love is.
I want to kiss my lovers lips.
I want to tell my friends out there I care.
I want to let the world see me smile.
I want to face my life with head held high.
I want to live, want to live, want to live.
.
What do I want my love?
I want to be imprisoned within the locks of your hair,
I want to be forever the reflection in your eyes.
I want when you feel happy to be that smile upon your face.
And I want, my love, your lips to taste.
I want to be the kisses that dance along your neck,
I want to be as a baby, suckling at your breasts.
I want to bathe in the sunshine that glows from off your skin.
And I want to be the ecstasy you feel from deep within.
I want, when tears may tumble, to be your comforter.
I want, when you are fearful, to be your strength and shield.
I want my arms to pick you up, if ever you should fall.
And I want you to remember this; I love you most of all.
Seek and you will find!
Those days of eternal night that shrouded my soul with darkness,
Are now but a faded memory and replaced with warm sunlight.
That veil of sorrow, which once consumed me, has been lifted up.
As if a mist of uncertainty and dread were removed by her tenderness.
She came into my life, stole my heart and released my spirit upward;
It soared beyond unhappiness and sadness, reaching heights I’d never known.
I felt like a young man once more, my innocence trembling with anticipation.
Yet safe, knowing she was there to guide my uncertainties forward.
For you my friends, whose lives seem an endless struggle for contented love.
Reflect on this once unfulfilled man of many years and take his words as truth.
For if you search with open hearts, though heavy with despair and pain,
You will find her waiting in the shadows of your soul, like mine, sent from above.
My Soul Mate Is calling.
I hear you whisper to me when the warm breezes blow.
You speak to me with every raindrop that falls
and when songbirds sing, it is you that calls.
I've spent my whole life searching for you,
Now here at this moment I feel that it’s you.
You know who you are and you know that I know,
So be still my heart, for she will never let go.
All my sad memories will fade now that your here,
And I'll love you forever and ever my dear.
of the ups and downs that there are.
When at times you may feel on top of the world
and those times every thing seems so afar.
You wake to the sounds of this world at dawn,
as the birds sing their welcoming songs.
Of sunlight shining through trees in bud
And the dew glistening from silvery thongs.
The web that was spun in a whisper,
while the world was asleep and at peace.
Who would dare to imagine that all this could end,
when all of our laughter would cease.
We all take for granted that which life’s given us,
its beauty and wonders we ignore.
For when it has gone and it’s too late for sorrow.
Then our tears, they will fall, no more.
Caressed by a moonlit sea.
Salt scented breezes brushed my hair,
While snow capped waters kissed my hands.
Surrendered by exhausted tides.
Forgotten friends they reappear,
And my tears fall like silvery jewels.
Warm summers spent in harmless play.
Of Halloween and fireworks too,
With Christmas trees and winter snow.
Lost innocence in tender arms.
With promise of eternal love,
Those were the days I often miss.
I hear the ’shepherd’ calling me.
I am content, I’m satisfied,
His voice it calms my fear.
Hanging in the starry sky, a wanderers guiding light.
The frost draped fields turn a ghostly hue.
Trees cloaked in varying shades of blue.
Touch my face like kisses sent from the one I love.
With a prayer I turned towards the light.
Shine not on me but on her tonight.
Sweet songs of birds be heard no more when the sun heralds the dawn.
The waves would cease the shore to kiss with every tides embrace.
And flowers in bloom bow down their heads as if in sadness mourn.
Storm clouds drained of fury weep once raged on earth subsides.
Rivers fail the sea to greet, ice and snows refuse to thaw.
Nature’s purpose in time suspended while all creation cries.
Then would surly I this universe reject and to dust return once more.
Fear not true heart for death shall conquer not this mortal soul.
Entwined our many lives to come for all eternity shall endure.
Birth, life, love and?
This seed from love impatient for release yet waits unborn.
The mysteries this world are still unknown a journey to fulfil.
Not till embracing waters yield and cast towards the light.
Upon the breast is laid contentment overshadows fear.
Forgotten now the silent darkness fades, that did once so entomb.
With lips atremble suckles that flesh from whence he grew.
Childhood memories etched forever in young minds.
Friendships kindled as flames ignite youth’s eagerness.
Enriched knowledge gathered eagerly with fleeting days.
Love as yet its shameless thrill to be rewarded, brings forth the man.
Enticed by sensuous pleasures emotions awake the heart takes flight.
With waves of ecstasy unleashed once a child all innocence now gone.
Towards the light now beckoning, pause footsteps fear enhanced.
Unsure one’s life in vain had not this consciousness still hesitates.
Then enters he with faith enriched where creation’s sculptor reigns.
My best friend and I love her
You would feel the love between us both you’d see it in our eyes.
I’d smile a knowing smile at you as you glanced when passing by.
And she would then look back at you as she does with all she meets.
Sometimes we stop and chat a while I chat she just stands there.
But all the time she’s looking round for someone she may know.
Until I’ve finished chatting she’ll be listening to me instead.
We’re both worn out and tired now it’s been a long old walk.
Past the village grocer’s shop the old school then the farm.
Home at last she rushes past, lays down exhausted then grabs her bone.
If love be the maestro with wings sweet music takes to flight.
If love be the diva’s angelic voice with heavenly chords delight.
Then for you my love so great, would these leave out of sight.
h
If love be the rainbows when droplets fall in vivid colours dress.
If love be the spring time flowers do seek the warming suns caress.
If love be the waves when greets the shore bow down in gratefulness.
Then for you my love so great, would these diminish none the less.
h
If love be the moon and stars above that illuminates the sky.
If love be the clouds on summer breezes like un-sheared sheep drift by.
If love be the voice of angels their singing praises him on high.
Then for you, my love so great, like these will surely never die.
Seek and you will find!
Are now but a faded memory and replaced with warm sunlight.
That veil of sorrow, which once consumed me, has been lifted up.
As if a mist of uncertainty and dread were removed by her tenderness.
She came into my life, stole my heart and released my spirit upward;
It soared beyond unhappiness and sadness, reaching heights I’d never known.
I felt like a young man once more, my innocence trembling with anticipation.
Yet safe, knowing she was there to guide my uncertainties forward.
For you my friends, whose lives seem an endless struggle for contented love.
Reflect on this once unfulfilled man of many years and take his words as truth.
For if you search with open hearts, though heavy with despair and pain,
You will find her waiting in the shadows of your soul, like mine, sent from above.
Poignant comparisons.
a bowl of cherries or a walk in the park?
Or do you see it as an endless uphill climb,
a constant struggle maybe just a losing war?
Are you forever giving in to others demands,
feeling insecure and often left in the dark?
Being taken advantage of when you’re feeling low,
all your emotions just dashed to the floor.
When you try to fit in to the world around you,
do you feel like a million piece jigsaw?
Never really being accepted always left in the box,
to gather dust with the lid firmly closed.
Love seems to avoid you at every turn,
false promises given then fade once more.
Is your life just like this can you honestly relate?
Then you’ll know exactly how I feel, I suppose!
Erotic Dreams.
All inhibitions evaporating.
Sensuous caresses explore dark secretive caverns.
Touching, exciting and invading.
Dark erotic memories exploding.
Emotions erupt forgotten senses ignite.
Mountains ascending with summit reaching.
Cries of joy Eden’s garden bursts into bloom.
With rapturous gasp heaven reached in a moment.
Motions subside the air abundant with love’s perfume.
Soft skin glowing from burning satisfaction.
Separation lingers flesh not wanting to be free.
Two bodies converging renewed with passion.
For ?
to steal this heart of mine?
Or from another galaxy and conquered
space and time?
these feelings deep inside.
But since you came into my life
no longer can they hide.
in a sentence of one line.
The only words that I could say,
Please be my Valentine?
There are no Reasons.
Or does the colour of our skin deter.
Is there no reason why we can’t be friends?
Or do our religions interfere.
~
Is there no reason why we can’t be friends?
Because I need nothing and you need all.
Is there no reason why we can’t be friends?
Are we just hiding behind a cultural wall?
~
Is there no reason why we can’t be friends?
I feel your pain, your suffering too.
Is there no reason why we can’t be friends?
Take the hand my friend I’m offering you.
~
Is there no reason why we can’t be friends?
Let hate and fear be no more.
Is there no reason why we can’t be friends?
United we could put an end to war.
Is there no reason why we can’t be friends?
United as one we can carry the load.
Is there no reason why we can’t be friends?
Together, together till the end of the road.
A Vow for Lovers
These words I write, though eloquent as not of Shakespeare.
Nor have they rhythm and depth those great poets mastered.
But they come with humble testimony to bear for one I hold so dear.
With unconditioned love this path with her I walk which once I feared.
Who would have yet thought it possible yes to love again?
For life had shown no mercy given, when hearts were broken.
I with deepening sorrow, failed to dull this yearning pain.
Yet now I feel a need again to live, my soul had been awoken.
I have no words to speak or write that make sense this happening.
No mortal mind could comprehend those unspoken words that fail me.
It is enough I know though words alone cannot express this feeling.
So pledge I do for all who hear, this love be yours for all eternity.
The Light at the end of the Tunnel
The sands of time drift effortlessly across the desert of my life.
Each grain an experience gained with both success and strife.
Many paths with heavy footsteps trod, this journey has been long.
And yet perceived a horizon, still with purpose I travelled on.
Though the years have swiftly passed, I still recall my childhood.
As brothers we would mischief find where and when we could.
Each grain an experience gained with both success and strife.
Many paths with heavy footsteps trod, this journey has been long.
And yet perceived a horizon, still with purpose I travelled on.
Though the years have swiftly passed, I still recall my childhood.
As brothers we would mischief find where and when we could.
The fears of retribution for our deeds were never entertained.
Learning from mistakes we made through punishment and pain.
Quickly did we grow for encroaching manhood had begun.
With family and friends along the way, we cherished every one.
Until at last, alone I stood to face my final years in fear.
Had my life been all in vain as loneliness turned to tears?
Learning from mistakes we made through punishment and pain.
Quickly did we grow for encroaching manhood had begun.
With family and friends along the way, we cherished every one.
Until at last, alone I stood to face my final years in fear.
Had my life been all in vain as loneliness turned to tears?
I stood before a dark foreboding chasm of uncertainty.
Knowing of my selfish deeds, no God would show me pity.
Awaiting that one step into oblivion the will to live removed.
For then my soul was lifted, unseeing hands from death delivered.
Horizons faded skies once darkened with sadness cleared anew.
I had found what foolishly nearly lost; her love for me was true.
Knowing of my selfish deeds, no God would show me pity.
Awaiting that one step into oblivion the will to live removed.
For then my soul was lifted, unseeing hands from death delivered.
Horizons faded skies once darkened with sadness cleared anew.
I had found what foolishly nearly lost; her love for me was true.
No need for words
Poetic rhythms this heart in words transcends emotion.
Impossible feelings neither quill nor ink this virgin paper stain.
Yet one inspires this world to know of loves devotion.
How then pray will I convey such love for which I pain?
To search, this soul goes forth on lips a prayer to guide.
From ocean deep the mind confused intent on revelation.
Seek not mortal words that will from temptation hide.
Lest meanings falsely shield from truth loves affirmation.
Lost in doubt the truth engulfed my heart from seeking weeps.
Where concealed these words my love to prove for all to know.
Neither love lives not by phrase of hand nor a word to utter speaks.
But with this hearts endearing beat this love will ever flow.
A thousand miles between us, separates our love.
Across the wires and airwaves we found each other.
Amidst our lonely lives sheltered from emotions.
Someone healed our wounded hearts, someone from above?
It seemed impossible at first how could this surely be.
We couldn’t see each other’s face or even hear our voices.
Yet in just a while a fire was lit and our love burst into flames.
Then I knew we had to meet for this was our final destiny.
Why wait a lifetime with all its ups and downs and many complications.
Living a lie over many years with all the heartaches and pain.
With that fateful vision of ‘deaths door’ forever coming closer.
I then find my soul mate at last, for how long, is speculation.
Maybe a day, a month or a year how long in this life none can know.
But to spend however much time in each others arms will suffice.
For I know in my heart now that we’ve met all of eternity waits.
We’ll now be together life after life and our love will stronger grow.
It has to be
Along the hallways of my mind, many strewn with discarded thoughts.
Concealed behind closed doors redundant memories linger still.
Old age brings forth clouds of confusion that separates from reality.
As I struggle for reasons sake in its place brings turmoil and doubts.
Travelling many corridors they all with unconscious secrets to unfold.
Has time her bitter hand of fate deprived me now of those hidden joys.
Or will I feel before the end the promise this lonely heart has yearned?
For she who waits beyond the void appears to me in dreams untold.
I cannot bear this ache inside the waiting now begins its final challenge.
Will this everlasting love be reconciled that ever was written in the stars?
Can two souls be as one regardless of that which denies loves fulfillment?
To believe that what is meant to be will, these hearts to bind, arrange.
Maybe next time
Words of heartfelt emotions evaporate like morning dew at sunrise.
Were they all in vain, drifting towards a slow and embittering demise?
The love that traversed time and space awakened senses now departed.
All that remains a heart once whole but now completely shattered.
Drained of all emotion I sought the solitude that only death can give.
Why need to roam these paths I feel no purpose, reasons left to live.
Life was but a journey of sorrow with a scattering of fervent desire.
Torn away in a moment and discarded as scorched ashes from a fire.
I can’t go on; this lonely road holds naught but cold emptiness and pain.
All feelings spent in tireless search for loves embrace that never came
Farewell this world no pity shown just one more step then I’ll be home.
And with that dawn maybe a new horizon I’ll walk towards but not alone
Will we ever learn?
Earthquakes, hurricanes and floods, catastrophes’ them all.
Is Mother Nature warning us or just banging her head against a wall.
The pain she’s feeling deep inside is tearing her apart.
We haven’t heard a word she’s spoken, not from the very start.
Plundering her bounteous gifts and with no consideration.
Everybody is to blame each and every single nation.
It can’t go on this reckless folly for all will soon be gone.
Until we learn to compromise our end will surely come.
Divisions will destroy us and ignorance as well.
We are all God’s children let’s not send them all to hell.
I want to go out.
He placed his paw upon my knee
Those big brown eyes staring up at me.
Don't you know, can't you see?
Oh I wish I wish you were a tree.
Don't you know, can't you see?
Oh I wish I wish you were a tree.
A Wave of Tears
We stare in silent disbelief.
With surrendered emotions we weep.
For once again Mother Nature stirred.
And a wave of tears rose from her oceans deep.
Washing away generations, young and old.
Whole families swept away.
Out to sea from whence they came.
Took that wave of tears on that fateful day.
Why has He forsaken us? We do not understand.
To unite us all maybe an answer!!
All religions, colours walk now hand in hand.
Forget our differences, suspicions and hates
Resolve all our worries and fears.
Let us never forget the day our lives changed
Changed by that wave of tears.
As the setting sun retreats and darkness embraces the horizon.
Lonely Venus rises playing hide and seek with the moon.
I contemplate this troubled world so full of hurt and pain.
Is it not within our capabilities to thwart advancing doom?
We stand before an abyss that will envelope all we have,
Our selfish needs to quell, this World she cries in vain.
Yet even still her bounty does she give with no reserve.
If only we could suffer not those tears this Earth to stain.
All things die for that we know but what to follow is unknown.
Is this our promise for the life we live, a hole beneath our feet?
Or could there be a better place that mortal eyes have never seen.
I fear for those with shallow minds, what future we may meet.
Day to Night.
Finger like clouds grasp the setting sun,
drawing her beneath the horizon.
She struggles with fiery ribbons of colour,
alas succumbs to the darkness.
Another day grown weary of her brightness,
awaits the enveloping night.
The hastening shadows creeping unawares,
steals her glow, the day is done.
New moon ascending on heaven’s quilt,
showered with sparkling gems.
Innocent of guilt whence replacing the sun,
shines down with dimming light.
The earth now in silhouette reveals her
hidden beauty unseen by light of day.
Ghostly forms arranged in shades of grey,
disguises reality as night time ends.
Hours seem like days and days become unending.
My love, her journey to begin is yet far away.
This life has all but ceased the waiting unrewarding.
Until I hold her in my arms for that day to come I pray.
Oh summer sun, hide not your rays from me,
These chilly nights do so drain my energy.
For how quick these summer months they fly,
Now winter’s footsteps, I feel are nigh.
You came but only for a moment stayed,
A glimpse of you was all I saved.
Now I wish that you had stayed a while,
Instead of tears these eyes would smile.
Will you ever return my golden friend?
To play your magic tune to me again.
Shine not only just for me I pray,
But all mankind, each and every day.
An awakening
If you exist
Why don’t you listen?
Are men’s lies just a mist?
To distort all reason.
The blind faith of fools,
Who follow like sheep?
Those collared wolves.
What is your name?
The cries of men,
Echo through time.
Unheard by you,
Again and again
Is it not plain?
The truth I see!
With opened eyes,
I see your name.
To know all,
It is not meant to be.
Else life would have no meaning.
You are the darkness,
That binds our souls.
Forever will it be.
And I know your name.
It’s ‘destiny’!!
A cry from the Soul
Words of heartfelt emotions evaporate like morning dew at sunrise.
Were they all in vain, drifting towards a slow and embittering demise?
The love that traversed time and space awakened senses now departed.
All that remains a heart once whole but now completely shattered.
Drained of all emotion I sought the solitude that only death can give.
Why need to roam these paths I feel no purpose, reasons left to live.
Life was but a journey of sorrow with a scattering of fervent desire.
Torn away in a moment and discarded as scorched ashes from a fire.
With foolish words, that love we had, I threw away so selfishly.
Frustration through waiting for that first kiss began to confuse reality.
Yet I never wished to hurt this vision, I let her go without a thought.
And now I suffer endlessly, each day her forgiveness I have sought.
I can’t go on; this lonely road holds naught but cold emptiness and pain.
All feelings spent in tireless search for loves embrace that never came
What must I do to heal the hurt my stupidity and selfishness inflicted?
Must I wander these empty paths of loneliness until I’m finally dead?
