First poems of 2006:

First Ladybug

Winter's gray is pierced
by glossy innocence,
red as a tiny drop of blood.

Gentleness of Spring
is tucked beneath your wing,
promising to grow and bud.

East Wind

Trees yield grudgingly,
sighing,
undulating like waves
breaking on the shore.

And we are but toys
buffetted about
by velveted cat's paws,
momentarily abandoned,
only to be pounced upon
unawares.

hmm ok well I guess I am game to share a poem or two and see what you guys think... I don't write very often and havnt written but about 10 poems and really have no idea how to write :shrug: but anyway I will start with this one... I wrote it for an online friend that has since more or less disappeared from my life.

friend along the road

along this dusty track of life I travel,
not knowing what tommorrow brings.
I know of course I have to try and not stray
from the narrow way.
For along the wide and winding tracks is trouble
places that will take me far from God.
I do not care to go along those roads,
for when I do the road is longer.
But when I walk the path my Lord has made
my load is lighter and the way more clear.
The path I walk is not always easy,
But my Jesus walks beside me here.
He places friends along my path,
someone like you and others too.
He knows before I ask the things I need,
and places those along the way,
He does not always give me everything,
lots are wants and greedy things,
but everything I need is there .
He knows the friends to help me
the ones that will encourage,support
and help me grow
As I prayed not long ago,
and sought some friends to walk with me,
He knew my needs before I asked,
and you my friend were sent

ok one more I wrote this one afternoon for another friend who liked a couple other poems I had written

Dream

A gentle mist hangs in the air, alluring and warm
It calls to the enchanting waterfall that leaps forth
Over the rocks and into the gentle river below
As it winds its way like silk through the forest floor.
The lush green grass rolls up over the small slope
Till it rests at the foot of the brown grey trunks
Reaching upwards to the green blue canopies
Gently we walk together over crisp leaves,
Listening to the wildlife, chatting and giggling
Not caring about the world outside, or what they think
Just for a while being together, uninterrupted

I'd love to. Unfortunately, I'm not sure that I'll ever find a market for the kind of things I write.

I'm glad you enjoyed it though. To me, poetry is worthwile if someone else enjoys it and gets something out of it; it's not about wealth or fame.

This was written for my dh for our wedding day, August 16, 2003

To My Beloved...

There was a time, I thought I'd never find
Someone to share my heart, soul, & mind.
So I prayed for the lord to send
Someone I could share the rest of my days.
One day I found that the lord had answered my prayer
in his own mysterious ways.
You had come into my life as a friend
and that bloomed to love.
Inside I thanked the lord above.
From that moment I knew you are the other half of my soul.
Now we pledge the rest of our lives to be true,
and together we are a whole.
So now until the end you will be
My husband, my lover, my friend.

In the shelter of your love

there is a lightness to my soul;
a bright ray of sun on a cloudy day;
a bubble of happiness in my heart
and now words I can say
to express my feelings in the right way;
to come out right
and be able to say
I'll love you for all my days
forever and ever on into eternity
see that’s how love goes between you and me;
a special place a place of hope
a place of peace
a shelter from the storms of life
that's what you mean to me.

This one I just wrote, it's a little descriptive...let me know what you think...

One

There’s a place
Only lovers may go
A source of peace
Where problems cease
With only room for two

Eyes only for each other.
Distractions don’t exist,
The world fades to mist.
Love comes twofold.

Whispered words
Loving touches
Heat rising
Gentle joining
Pleasured sighing
Twinned relief to ensue
Souls entwined.
Lovers cuddle.
Slow and subtle
Reality fades in
A gift given
Hearts taken
Their world shaken
To the core

What a gift God had in mind
For two souls to bind
Into One.

My Sis wrote this one

Alone

I stand Alone
Are you affraid to love
To you my emotions I have shown
You are my angel from above
Memories invade my quiet dreams
Crying and suffering are all I bleed
love has tortured my soul so it seems
Away from this nightmare you I need
Alone in the corner I try to hide
There you find me breathless but still alive
My love has been my pride
For you always will I strive
Come hold me together once again I promise I will try
I will forever love you, without you i surely will die.

Good ones, Din! You've inspired me to dig out the old folder. Here is some teenage ranting by yours truly.

Dream Man

Often when young women meet
They talk of young men much
And not the very least of them
Is dream guy such and such
Now, here I speak of one such man
Though he may know it not
In fact I've never met him
Though he's very much in thought
His face may not be handsome
But in it peace will show
His mouth will speak the love of God
So everyone will know
His shoulders aren't inportant
They only must be broad
Enough to let the burdens
Be carried by our God
His hands may be quite wide and strong
But this I do not know
Their strength is in not shirking work
But doing well for friend or foe
His legs may be a little weak
Or yet a little long
But to carry out God's chosen work
They always will be strong
A little touch of humor
For a smile is never bad
And there's a man to which a proud
"I love you," can be said

starry-eyed idealism? What can I say...

[karenee]

And that hope is a grand one, for sure!

[karenee]

{{{hugs}}} my friend.

[kg00ds]

Friend your in my prayers
I care
I hope your doing well
I care
Arms open wide & tears being cried
I care
For you I want to be there
I care
In pain along with you
I care
In pain because I can't be there to share
I care
Lord of house Avalon, soul mate of mind and spirit
I care
Please let me know how you are.

[karenee]

When the moment's spur strikes
And all dullness vanishes in the essence of an idea
All that is needed is a place to be
Something to do that one likes
Or a chance to shout out, "Eureka!"
In all, this evening, that isn't me.
I'm bored.

[Bard Child]

wonderful poems..
I have a few old ones to share

I danced with lighting

I watched the clouds build high in the sky
Moving carelessly, to and fro
I sway, I sway
As danced with the clouds

Mr. wind dances beside me
Laughing mirthfully at my dance
I leaped, I leap
As I danced with the wind

Rain tears moisten the earth
spinning gracefully
I turned, I turned
As I danced with the rain

Angels speed the dance
Banging on the holy thunder drum
I Ran, I ran
As I danced with Thunder

Bright bolts of light
Dazzle the symphony of the storm
I sang, I sang
As I dance with Lighting
