This is just a place for me to bring all the poems I scatter round about. I'm not asking for feedback here...just presenting some. The ones I want to "submit" eventually I will work on in the Poetry section with someone willing.

Please feel free to comment on the poems and if you'd like to share your own, I'd LOVE it! Just another friendly place for speakers...and seekers...who like to make a connection.

There are many of my poems scattered all about...I don't know even where some are as I write them on a whim sometimes! LOL. If you find one I haven't...please cut and paste it in this thread. Thank you!

Observance

There are some who would
Contain another with ideas
Like "maybe"..."oh baby"
Or "I need you"..."I'll feed you"

All these are good things
And make our heart sing
But can't hold captive one
Who wants to touch the sun.

I love so many here at times
Who inspire me to rhymes
Some I submit to in my ways
Some I hope to in some days...

But none can hold me captive
With a maybe or a perhaps...
I enjoy the people who are free here
That is why I like to be here!

We all have needs and dreams
And find some peace here it seems
To be with others who seem like us
And for being different do not "strike" us.

So...off to sleep a dream of dreams
Of emerald fields and crisp blue streams
And friends who like the things I do...
I've found that here...at Lit...in you.

The Beast (Addiction)

I danced with the Beast and tasted deadness
Of my spirit. It smelled so sweet....I was deceived.
I embraced with a fool the futility of the hopeless.
My faith was altered (had faltered) and the beast crept in.

I pranced with the Dragon and touched the rotting flesh
Of wicked. It felt so warm.......I was deceived.
I grasped the golden ring and was confused to feel it burning.
My faith resisted (was twisted) and the beast crept in.

I writhed with the Serpent and heard the wailing
Of the charmer. I thought he sang...I was deceived.
I glorified the discord of the Father of ALL Lies.
My faith was reason (was treason) and the beast crept in.

I glanced at my shoulder and saw the tearful eyes
Of *Heppa. My angel cried...and I was grieved.
I prayed for understanding. I asked and did receive.
I saw with terror, my error, but the beast would not LET go.

I cried out to the Lamb and found the Light of Love
Within me. He touched my heart. ALL sin relieved.
My Mother smiled gently streaming strength into my spirit.
My faith revived (I am Alive!) and the beast crept away.

Before it Left it turned it's heads
I caught my breath in fear and dread
Before it Left I heard it say:
"I will be back someday some how some way..."

I pray each day: God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things that I can, and the wisdom to know the difference...

Poem for the Absent Druid

Oh Drunken Druid worker hard
A committed teacher as well as bard
When you are gone we linger still
In waiting for you...so until

You return to your flock of friends
We will make merriment here that ends
NOT until you join us again
And we can be here all as friends.

We will look to tomorrow a new day
To greet you in a merry met way
Until then, we will keep us together
As together do birds flock of a feather

So its been said
By someone dead
But still rather wise
I'm rubbing my eyes...

:)
 
Here is one from 1984!

My Rainbow

I tried to pass under a rainbow...
To gain peace from it's magical beams.
I chased that rainbow for miles!
It symbolized all of my dreams...

Well, I never caught up with that rainbow.
Though I tried - gave it all that I could!
It faded away into somewhere...
But it's meaning I understood.

Rainbows, like dreams, are elusive.
Some can be reached, some cannot.
Yet just by chasing after my rainbow..
My troubles and woes...I forgot!!!

:)
 
A Monday Morning Rhyme

'Tis Monday morning
Far from Sunday night
No foul weather warning
That makes all things right!

A silly little poem
To bring about a smile
Some vegetables I grow 'em
And go the extra mile...

To nurture these
And more to nourish
That which doth please
So it may flourish!

Good day, good friends
Be it to ye all!
May all of the ends
Break any fall...

That may befall ye
Now and ever
A gentle float it be
Now and forever.

:)
 
Posted for the Clan at The Drunken Druid's thread

A Poem for the Clan

Rum Night for this week is over.
We rolled around in thorns and clover.
Today the sun shines bright and warm.
There is no rain. There is no storm.

A goodly mood is quick approaching.
Today is not for more reproaching.
The wicked fun goes under wraps
Until the evening comes perhaps...

I like the balance, light and dark.
The light is wholesome, dark is stark.
For me there is no other way
Than playing each in it's own sway.

So until we mingle words again
I move on for now and who knows when
We merry meet for greetings sweet
I'll see ye then...when we next meet!

:)
 
Love your poems! Post more!

This was sent me by a friend, I think she found it online somewhere. It's cute - thought I'd share. :D

I do not love thee, Mr Twinkie,
For thou shalt make me fat,
Thou art no friend to me, indeed,
My scales have told me that.

I do not love thee, shiny M&Ms,
Thou causeth my teeth to rot,
And doest thou care for this?
Indeed, thou carest not a jot.


I do not love thee, Coca Cola,
Thou sendest me into a tizzy,
Of sugar induced hyperness,
For thou art sweet and fizzy.

I do not love thee, creamy cakie thing,
Though thou tempt me with thy wiles,
Thou make'st my face all sticky,
The butt of laughs and smiles

I do not love thee, little candy bar,
I cast thee from my sight,
For thou dost tempt me wickedly,
And call to me at night.

I do not love a one of thee,
And loudly do I cry it.
I deny the one and all,
For I am on a diet!

A New One...

Seeker on a Path

At times this living seems so odd
Strange with dangers as I prod
Upon my path to who knows where
With heart afire, emotions bare.

Such passions come and go they seem
But follow me through field and stream
Though and I wonder why such happens
This is the journey that is Papin's....

When life does dare us to grow stronger
Somes things feel like they go....wronger :))...a little poetic license there?)
Then gods & spirits I beseech
To hand me that for which I reach...

And when the aid is offered free
I look away as if to see
A greener pasture in the valley
In which I might romp and dally.

It is the path of one who seeks
Unclear ends. At times my shrieks
Are in delight and sometimes bitter
Well..so it be. I am no quitter.

So I will stumble in this walk
Until I find the place or flock
Where the weary is relieved again
Unto this chosen path...Amen.
 
More Poetry for Killing Time: A Renewed Spirit!

Oh atmas I do miss this thread
For quicky poems when time feels dead
I think that this thread should keep running
So the spontaneous poet can keep funning!

So if you've abandoned this thread of yours
I will claim it and will make it roar
Again for as long as I can do it.
Or I will feel like that we blew it!

So instant poets this is a place
For you to create in immediate pace
The words and rhymes will tumble out
And make us here to cheer and shout.

Please add your wit and humor here
As a poet does and bring us cheer
I look forward to the inventive coming...
And no it won't be like you're slumming...

I lost a friend today...unexpectedly...though she was ill and making plans for the ending of her time here. She left some lovely words for those she cared for and I was glad she had put them down on paper. So I wrote some for myself in case my passing happens without warning as some do.

Inspired by Marilyn...

Epitaph

My life did slip away today
In sadness…a bit of madness
The passage of my human life is welcome
As space grew small...untidy
In my surroundings.

The path I walked here…wondrous
In both light and night time shadows
Served me well…a heavenly hell
It made me laugh and cry and rage
It did compel.

The time to seek new journeys
Came upon me slow but sure.
I saw it coming in a circle’s way
And chose the circle door this time
I seek no more here.

Goodbye to all who walked with me
Ran with me and played with me
Your touches and your hushes were a blessing
They made my time here time caressed caressing
My heartfelt thanks.
 
Last Dance

The music finds me...and I dance
A last dance...a solitary rave
Bathed in crimsons, creams & evergreens
Erotic...and slow methodic brave...

Ballerina meets Stomp...a whimsy smile
The Reaper watches not too far
And I watch him...a dark & shining star
I know not which sultry twirl will be my last.

This dance is good.... is also known
It is a good thing to make choices
On one's own....I nod to greet the reaper
And he nods back...he is my keeper now

He'll help me cross the boundaries
I do fear...but want in some way dear
This life is past....I live in shadows
But still I linger..due to the green things that I love.

I toe and stomp...to get the last taste
Of earth and things this world does give
It's time to leave soon...and that is fine
But my love for this life still holds me..****** & time

Of breathless twirling...and sultry swirling
A final crescendo whirling twirling whirling
I breath a deep breath...challenge reaper near
He simply smiles and nods...he is my keeper dear.

Hi poppy, enjoying your poems :)...here is one of mine.

You know me, out there in some nether world
caught as a house fly in a spiders web
by the turning of words.
Lulled with their musical sound and cadence.
Their meanings dangle like colorful fruit
occupying a reality frozen in time.
Lanterns in the great darkness
Pushing away the emptiness of the cosmos
The kiss of an angel caressing your brow
Light and sweet and pure of heart
and a glimpse of what is about us.
Normally cloaked in our worldly hurt
We are blind and cannot see light.
Except in those rare splendid moments
revealed by the word of undeniable truth and beauty.
the heart is glad and full of wonder

Gianna :rose:

Unforgettable

A lover takes my hand
in his as we flirt with eyes
and words...gentle playing...
and he gazes on his touchings.

I quiver in that moment
quite unexpectedly...erotic
My cheeks grow flushed and warm
as he licks my palm and wrist...

He looks up and our eyes lock
Fingers brush softly up and down
my forearm tickling gently and
I forget to breathe a time or two.

Desire Cometh

Desire cometh with a vengeance sometimes...
And then again...
In the whispers of soft breezes
On the skin...sighs

Twice blest for certain
When fulfilling is the outcome
Or sometimes when
It's held in sway...a captive.
 
Two Poems

Sublime in Rhyme

Misinterpretation of words'
Intentions...perhaps...who knows?
I still love this thread...even
If Atmas goes! :rose:

As moods do strike
And energies call forth a call
My fingers seek to guide the keys
To the right place for my words to fall.

Sublime. :)
In rhyme... :cathappy:

Old Spirals, New Spirals

A spiral spins first up, then down
A glittering top spins round and round
A journey forward, then to and fro
I do not know which way to go....

:confused:

For Gianna: The Journey

Layer after layer
I peel away disguise
I want you to see me
I watch your eyes.

A flicker there of something
I wonder what it means?
Is it fear...or is it recognition?
As it is always in my dreams...
