Michael
Michael
My lover’s beauty is like the gentle fragrance
Of a sweet flower that awakens my every sense,
His eyes are the clearest streams of purity,
Where frequently I bathe in joy and innocence.
The hand he reaches out to me
Invites me to the realms of ecstasy.
My lover’s kiss is the bond of a love
No human heart could e’er conceive,
His strength and loyalty instil in me
The verity of all that I believe.
The way he loves me endlessly
Reminds me that we breathe eternity.
My lover’s silence is more profound
Than the greatest works of poetry,
The life that flows from deep within his soul
And mine, is a powerful force in unity.
The words I pen cannot reveal
The depths of my love for Michael.

#PoetryInMotion ~ The Key
Find the key
To unlock my soul
For it has gotten lost
And needs to be set free…
It awaits in anticipation
For the chance
To dust itself off
And go back out there…
As the circle of life
Keeps turning
No matter what
And time flies by too quickly…

When My Time Is Done…
When my time is done
Merge me back
To where I belong
Within the place that brings me peace
My Solace, My Soul, My Sea…

This Once Raven
Spellbound in Darkness
Silent Moments
Conversations bubble as seats taken
Hush descends, lights slowly dim
Orchestra pit lamps illuminate shadows
Stillness overtakes as anticipation rises
Music fills the air with excited promise
Curtains part, a column of light appears
Smoke is caught and whirls endlessly
Flickering images appear on the screen
Title cards announce a tale of woe
Of love, heartache, tears and laughter
A dashing hero, a beautiful heroine
The dastardly villain bent on revenge
Romance told in visual vignettes
Music plays to action unfolding
Restrained melodies serenading lovers
Thunderous crescendo for the villain
With the sound of silence ever near
Transported to a place of wonder
When faces spoke and we listened
A world of shadow and light
Those far off days of glamour
Old Hollywood frozen in time
Dreams in silhouette survive
Forever spellbound in darkness

We
Good-bye, Farewell & C’est La Vie…
Good-bye, Farewell & C’est La Vie
Good-bye,
Farewell
And C’est la vie…
.
To the complications
That you have caused me.
To the rejections
That have wasted my time.
To your deceptions
That show your own failings.
To the mass of pain
That caused tears to be cried…
.
I’m done with this unhappy ending
I’m taking back my hurtful pride.
I’m looking forward
Without anymore hesitation –
From your false friendship
That you’ve hidden behind.
No longer will I be a doormat
That foolishly wonders on Why?
It takes two to make a real friendship
And now I’m moving on.
.
So C’est La Vie, Farewell & Good-bye!

In Their Shoes
IN THEIR SHOES
In my job: whilst caring for the Elderly
It doesn’t take but a moment
To stop and listen, give a smile, hold a hand
Or a hug when required…
.
One day we may be “In their shoes”
So I always try to think of that
If I was them, how would I be feeling
And it seems to work most of the time…
.
Instantly calming someone
That maybe feeling scared, lost or confused
No magical touch, just purely
Treating others how I would like to be treated…
