Thoughtful Words

The Eyes Have It...

A pool, A pond, An optical opus of life, To be listened to at a glance

The dewy moisture of a morning lawn reflecting infatuation

A glistening gem reflecting contentment, A rosebud abouts to blossom reflects in the pond

As the sunrise of a new day sends the heart fluttering

And the butterfly’s gossamer wings can’t fight the strength of the winds of Spring

A Chalice Called Humanity...

Take a sip from the chalice called humanity

Experience life’s pleasures and pain

Drink deep of the cup

Taking risks to embrace gain

At times bitter, others sweet to taste

Feeling every joy and sorrow

At times cold, others hot

And who knows what the mouthful will bring tomorrow

Just A Game

A placid plush green lawn, Upon which balls roll

Who would think it could cause tempers to flare, Over such a relaxing game

Why not ease back and go with the flow?, Mellow and stroke the overs

Kiss the unders sweetly, Just relax and kick back, The lawn doesn’t need mowing

Come see the kids play, As the blackboard is cleaned with a wrist’s sway

Arguing and bickering, Like days gone by in the playground

No it’s my toy, They say

A Tea Party For One

A hapless romantic, A poet, A thinker, A dreamer, A schemer, A tapestry of persona

Rigid ideals and firm boundaries I thought, Where do I stand now?, Are my feet firmly grounded?

My head has drifted into the clouds, I’ve moved my boundary pegs in

What is love after all?

A passing infatuation?, A deadly dose of intrigue?, A lethal level of lust?, A deluded fantasmic ideal?

I can’t say I truly know

How do I escape the emotional maze?  I created it, Surely I must know the way out

Caught in a juxtaposition between fantasy and reality, Will they come and take me away?

Surely so if they knew the inside of my head

Is this just a phase of self obsession and pity?

Me, myself and I sat around a table, Party hats and whistles for all

Cut yourself a nice large slice of depression, A jolly old self pity party

Lets go visit Alice and the Hatter, A tea party in another realm?

Which world do I belong to?

Reality beckons and draws me nigh, Tis time to sever the old, Time to return to the realms of reality

It seems too cruel and clinical, Words need said and emotions released

Oh well... back to another smoke and another coke, Cheers... here’s to better days

Might...

Might I lay my head upon your breast, And there obtain a place of rest

Oh to nestle close to you and recieve your sweet carress, And there to you my love I would confess

Might I whisper sweet nothings in your ear, Feeling the warmth of your body near

Worlds apart yet closer than it may seem, My heart stirred by your attention

By your passionate words, Your thoughtfulness, Your care

Might you talk to me, Tenderly, And whisper in my ear, Three little words that say you care

A rose by any other name would not compare, To the beauty that you bare

Might you hold me close in your heart, Even when we are apart

Might I think fondly of the bond we have formed, Having in me my heart warmed

Might I be infatuated or dare I say in love? Maybe...

What is Love?

What is love?  More than a feeling or just a word, To the scholar it is a verb

Feeling and action intertwined, Substance that is patient and kind

Alive and living, Humble and forgiving

An action and not an act, Not a fantasy but a fact
