2012 Poetry Form Challenge#09 Rondel PrimeThe rhyme pattern is very simple being .A. B. a. b. a. b. A. B for the octave (Octave 1) and a sestet for the final stanza that mirrors the first two stanzas, with the last line repeating the first two lines of the first stanza a. b. a. b.. A. B (Sestet x) Similar to the Italian sonnet there can be a variation in the octave (Sicilian to Italian) .A. B. a.b..b. a. A. B. for the octave (Octave 2) and the sestet a. b..b. a..A. B. also.(sestet y) Like the Italian Sonnet it is possible to mix Octaves and sestets. The meter is open but like most French poetry, it is usually eight syllables and this is one of the forms that in its purest state does not repeat any of the rhyme words. Here is an example using the first type (octave 1 sestet x)

Maryse AchongPoor dog she got a rotten deal But then she did not have a say; Wed to a man, it seems unreal, Better to have remained a stray. What kind of freak would even feel That to marry a dog's okay. Poor dog she got a rotten deal, But then she did not have a say. He hoped these rites would help to heal Him of his sickness, dream away! Whilst he enjoyed a sumptuous meal A bun made up his 'bride's' buffet Poor dog she got a rotten deal But then she did not have a say. ----- Questions Who's to know what the morrow'll bring Who can foresee what lies in store? Maybe we will hear our heart sing Like it has never sung before. Perhaps it will do no such thing And we will find ourselves heart sore. Who's to know what the morrow'll bring Who can foresee what lies in store. Perhaps we'll see a light shining From underneath a once closed door, Are we to take the chance and fling It open, or choose to ignore. Who's to know what the morrow'll bring Who can foresee what lies in store. ----- Recognition If I just look around I see Why I should offer thanks each day. The mere fact that He lets me ‘be’ Is reason enough I would say. But other gifts given freely I accept in a casual way. If I just look around I see Why I should offer thanks each day. The mountains in their majesty Show off their hues, a grand display Whilst great trees bow their heads humbly As gentle breezes make them sway. If I just look around I see Why I should offer thanks each day. ----- Thailand en Rose Thailand's gone pink, that's what I read, And yellow is on the way out, Because of their king, so it's said, Once ill but now up and about. The good news like wildfire spread, The King wore pink there was no doubt. Thailand's gone pink, that's what I read And yellow is on the way out. Now that they're wearing pink instead Of yellow, soon there’ll be a drought Of anything pink, what a dread- Ful thought, enough to make one pout. Thailand's gone pink, that’s what I read, And yellow is on the way out. back to list |
Kathy AndersonThe lovely words blew them away Took away their sanities lock The the beast within had its day On the shores where love makes its dock. By the bay they had their sweet way For hearts undone rare find a block. The lovely words blew them away Took away their sanities lock, Sure the Crane came into the fray His song loud, wings wide, by the flock Of seagulls parting before clay People intent on loves first shock, The lovely words blew them away Took away their sanities lock.  Circe - Boris Vallego ----- Mistress of Wyrms Mistress of wyrms and earthy things Those things that sneak and slither round Between rocks or swim in springs Underground dwellers sightless found More seen than heard without two wings, Others with teeth seek to enround, Mistress of wyrms and earthy things Those things that sneak and slither round Come round to her at the calling For her voice alone is the sound Of their queen mother who's singing Marks their living breathing hearts pound, Mistress of wyrms and earthy things Those things that sneak and slither round.  Mistress of Wyrms - Boris Vallego ----- Searching Song sparrow at the dawn of day Searches for it's mate day to night Waking me from slumbers to say It's time to fly awake with light A lighter heart and peaceful ways The way is better than alright, Song sparrow at the dawn of day Searches for it's mate day to night No night to hold it come what may It may take longer than one flight So rest needed and it must lay Down 'pon feathered nest, gather might, Song sparrow at the dawn of day Searching for it's mate day to night.  Mistress of Wyrms - Boris Vallego ----- Somewhere In Time Somewhere in time two lovers wept Their hearts could not forget times fog As this was the forbidden mist A place they could reclaim loves fugue For a few precious hours kissed In arms altered the course of Spring Somewhere in time two lovers wept Their hearts could not forget times fog Such was as destiny laid waste To forbid unheard of in song For this song is forever's date A date I've wished for so long Somewhere in time two lovers wept Their hearts could not forget times fog.  back to list |
Terry ClitheroeLiken to the mid autumns gaudy scenes For a while we see the splendours of farewell Greens, to red, yellow, or brown has-beens And the scents we learned and loved so well. Till naught is left at all save an empty shell Different again from our earlier dreams Liken to the mid autumns gaudy scenes For a while we see the splendour of farewell. The longer, colder nights show darker screens And most have retreated to a warmer shell Scents of spring and summer've gone as well Most creatures now live within their means Liken to the mid autumns gaudy scenes For a while we saw the splendours of farewell.  ----- Blackness The black trees in my minds corner Grow rancid with the fruit of death Corruption and the smell of sulphur Decaying stench forms on my breath. I feel the worms tear and butcher My flesh again, the earth restoreth The black trees in my minds corner Grow rancid with the fruit of death The soil slowly takes me to her Finally earth becomes one with flesh Time erases my sepulchre My soul rests again in Asgoreth The black trees in my minds corner Grow rancid with the fruit of death  Artwork - Boris Vallego ----- Clay of Life Like you and you each life is clay Let your hands mould this clay of life We have casually flung on the wheel. Dig your fingers in as it spins Shape it, press in, feel the firm shape Watch it, form it and we will see Like you and you each life is clay Let your hands mould this clay of life Fire the kiln and the clay will dry. What shape have you made, what life? Fit to paint and glaze, is it cup or jug To enjoy life's wine, or an ashtray? Like you and you each life is clay Let your hands mould this clay of life  ----- Dare I Dare I touch you still my lover Are you cold that you shiver so? Grip me tight and bid me slow As my lips shall your body cover. Forgotten eyes I now discover That with passion they would glow Dare I touch you still my lover Are you cold that you shiver so? Patience, waiting, you recover Relearned what I thought I know And relaxing in loves afterglow What pleasures shall we discover? Dare I touch you still my lover Are you cold that you shiver so?  Art by Maxwell Parrish ----- Darkness The darkness will all encompass Midnight will be ever my friend And bring with it all the evil class Seeking you, your life to end. See dark clouds over the moon pass Furtive moving at the roads bend The darkness will all encompass Midnight will be ever my friend Hear the howls from the hungry mass Desiring blood message they send See your bloodstains on the grass Quivering in death, bowels spend The darkness will all encompass Midnight will be ever my friend  The Collector - Boris Vallego ----- Days Go Too Fast Days go too fast when I'm with you And drag like hell, now we're apart. The days are too short the weeks too few Hour's pass with one beat of the heart. Know, life's colours have a glowing hue That is until that time we are separate Days go too fast when I'm with you And drag like hell, now we're apart. It's so dark now that you're out of view It seems like winter is about to start But I still can't regret old Cupids dart And make it all end, a final adieu Days go too fast when I'm with you And drag like hell, now we're apart.  ----- Forgotten Roads The road curves right and up, always up It's my choice to go this way and alway will Early on I chose the cup from which I'll sup To chose the hard ascent each time on a Hill Having the pain whilst fresh on the way up Means that it's a far, far less bitter pill The road curves right and up, always up It's my choice to go this way and alway will On reaching the top its time to have a sup I stuff paper down my front, prevents a chill My gears go up I'm ready for the downhill And down I plunge, my tactics won the cup. The road curves right and up, always up It's my choice to go this way and alway will.  ----- I Can See I can see right through you Your love is only paper thin. All you do is make me blue Wondering where you’ve been. You smell of him a smell of sin Is our love at long last through I can see right through you Your love is only paper thin. You promised ever to be true You promised that you’d begin To try your best to see us through It didn’t work, to my chagrin I can see right through you Your love is only paper thin. ----- Profile of Destiny What is this thing we call a soul I cannot see, nor can I feel Yet without it I am not whole And you tell me that it so real. I sit here and watch my life unroll Silent waiting for fate to deal What is this thing we call a soul I cannot see, nor can I feel It seems inevitable after all As Destiny winds in her reel With heat and wax she makes a seal As cupid fires, once again I fall What is this thing we call a soul I cannot see, nor can I feel  Fantasy Profile - Boris Vallega ----- Sonnet to a Sparrow How quiet your chirping now my little friend Autumn daylight keeps you longer anest Now you have no company, no love to send Were you an Eagle she'd be by your breast 'Stead come spring you must court like the rest What a pity I say that finality happened. How quiet your chirping now my little friend Autumn daylight keeps you longer anest You both were very well fed, why did it end In two months you will again build a nest Each time you build, you do your best What a pity you have to build 'stead of mend How quiet your chirping now my little friend Autumn daylight keeps you longer anest  ----- Sunlight Dancer Sunlight danced over your hair, Then starlight flashed in your eyes. I knew the future we might share Would each night be written in the skies. Your simple smile is heavens fare, Are you an angel in disguise? Sunlight danced over your hair, Then starlight flashed in your eyes. There is a future we can share, Where hope and promise never dies, Rewards for winning the first prize, In some sort of heavenly fair. Sunlight danced over your hair, Then starlight flashed in your eyes.  ----- My Senses.

And from their tender loving toil The nectar of these floral seers The scent of you is that of oil The fragrance of a thousand years Mere perfume where the juices boil Or ambergris torn out with spears Cannot surpass, their substance spoil What nature gave you so sincere The scent of you is that of oil The fragrance of a thousand years  ----- Your Sight Your sight is bless'd like golden morn Surrounding like a halo on waking A piece of heaven has been torn To light the day, for your making. A smile that fades the waking dawn Your look lights the day that's breaking Your sight is bless'd with golden morn Surrounding like a halo on waking. And so each day my life is born The sight of you so breathtaking And more each day to you I'm drawn In love with you and your lovemaking Your sight is bless'd with golden morn Surrounding like a halo on waking  Tatiana and Oberon - Josephine Wall ----- Your Voice Your voice is the sound of rain On a warm summers afternoon Softly falling in loves domain Pleasing my ears with its tune. Make no mistake I do not feign Nor been touched by the moon Your voice is the sound of rain On a warm summers afternoon The sweetest sound I'll hear again Nor tire of hearing, I beg this boon Grant me sound of your refrain A thousand years will be too soon. Your voice is the sound of rain On a warm summers afternoon  Reveries - Maxwell Parish ----- Your Taste Your taste is that of finest wine By the Gods the grapes provided. One sip from of thy heavenly juice Thy love has made to fill the cup No drunken sot, yet I cannot sate My thirsting of your heady brew Your taste is that of finest wine By the Gods the grapes provided. Fruit picked whilst fresh with dew Then crushed in loving frolic Till juice and love are mixed as one Then aged in would love to taste Your taste is that of finest wine By the Gods the grapes provided.  ----- Your Touch Your touch is of the hottest flame That makes me burn with desire So familiar, yet I feel no shame Many others know of my fire. Your touch so casual, like a game Yet feeds the fuel of lasting fire Your touch is of the hottest flame That makes me burn with desire Cupid shot with an unerring aim There's no need, your touch inspires No simple arrow can lay claim Thus twice I love, twice I'm afire Your touch is of the hottest flame That makes me burn with desire  ----- Your Soul I see your reflection in the mirror What do I see, what do you permit? Are you Juliet and I your Romeo Seeing the love that your soul emits? Am I the lover you wish be nearer Is it love for me you wish to admit? I see your reflection in the mirror What do I see, what do you permit? In your eyes I see love much clearer Your soul and mine become a unit.

Divena CollinsWe shall awaken 'midst the unknown Where images of paradise contrast The seeds of love had been thrown And happy moments had been cast For a greater love never was shown That sweet harmony shall ever last We shall awaken 'midst the unknown Where images of paradise contrast We still feel a presence when alone Although our time shall travel so fast Before long we shall both be gone Where loves spirits forever outlast We shall awaken 'midst the unknown Where images of paradise contrast.  ----- Blinded by Love I am but a shadow that hides away Let not the light shine on my face I have nothing in this world to say If you search you will find no trace For I have nothing left to portray Sent to this earth from outer space I am but a shadow that hides away Let not the light shine on my face Eternally this is where I shall stay Though I may feel so out of place If I see light I shall rot and decay For I am not of the humanic race I am but a shadow that hides away Let not the light shine on my face.  ----- Breathless Such ecstasy to feel the wind in my hair Embracing deeply within my very soul Like the breath of a lover lingering there Such is this feeling so hard to console Within passions that are meant to share Yet I on my own cannot reach that goal Such ecstasy to feel the wind in my hair Embracing deeply within my very soul It is only nature for that I am aware Renders me so breathless to be whole Caught up within mother natures snare Complete and utterly losing my control Such ecstasy to feel the wind in my hair Embracing deeply within my very soul.  ----- Forever to Love Within my memory I hold you dear Your face your smile, I forget not I recall the time you held me near That pleasure I have ne-er forgot When I sleep I dream you are here Within my memory I hold you dear Your face your smile, I forget not When we are apart I shed a tear For I know I shall miss you a lot I listen for words but do not hear You are eternally in my thoughts Within my memory I hold you dear Your face your smile, I forget not.  ----- Hushabye Lullaaby Come hush my little one dont you cry Snuggle up in dreamland off to sleep I will sing you softly a sweet lullaby Close within warmth I shall you keep Within fairy tale dreams of hushabye That speaks in rhyme of little bo peep Come hush my little one dont you cry Snuggle up in dreamland off to sleep Twinkling little stars shine in the sky But little bo peep has lost her sheep They have no wings they cannot fly Cow jumped over the moon in a leap Come hush my little one dont you cry Snuggle up in dreamland off to sleep.  ----- Moon Shadow I am but a shadow that hides away Let not the light shine on my face I have nothing in this world to say If you search you will find no trace For I have nothing left to portray Sent to this earth from outer space I am but a shadow that hides away Let not the light shine on my face Eternally this is where I shall stay Though I may feel so out of place If I see light I shall rot and decay For I am not of the humanic race I am but a shadow that hides away Let not the light shine on my face.  ----- Only Time Time is not all what it may seem When there is lots to be undone No time at all to sit and dream Nor bathe beneath a summer sun For duty forever reigns supreme Which applies to almost everyone Time is not all what it may seem When there is lots to be undone Love is not always down stream When you are hardly the only one There is no such plan or scheme For it comes to you having fun Time is not all what it may seem When there is lots to be undone.  'Solitude' - Maxfield Parish ----- Serenity of Love I lay my head upon meadows green By the banks where rivers run free On cushions of moss I slept serene Dreaming only of my love for thee Once in my dreams I had foreseen There was love in this haven for me I lay my head upon meadows green By the banks where rivers runs free Such passion this true love had been 'Twas within my eyes for all to see For love had shone both in between Dreams of passion and sensuality I lay my head upon meadows green By the banks where rivers run free.  ----- Time Shall Tell Only time shall tell what expectations That we shall find in the far future As it has been in the past generations In human form or that of a creature That may have once been our relations May soon be written within scripture Only time shall tell what expectations That we shall find in the far future In past tense the book of revelations Scribed forth an interesting feature That of the apocalypse contributions Predicting the four horsemens culture Only time shall tell what expectations That we shall find in the far future.  ----- Truth Rediscovered She haunts the woodlands alone clad in red With a basket of evils within her arm Are you red riding hood Mr blackbird said Or is it here you seek to cast your charm Upon a sickly old lady that lays in her bed Are you the creature that wishes her harm Who haunts the woodlands alone clad in red With a basket of evils within your arm 'Neath your attire you are a wolf instead Causing commotion at the chicken farm When you had failed to announce them dead You are discovered and no longer alarm Who haunts the woodlands alone clad in red With a basket of evils within your arm.  ----- Wind in the Willows Oh ancient willow what tales doth thy tell When the wind blows throughout thy leaves Of faeries that wish by an old wishing well Elvin that shall sing and dance as they weave Of trinkets and charms with a magical spell All sorts of wonders rolled up their sleeve Oh Ancient Willow what tales doth thy tell When the winds blows throughout thy leaves Neath hanging bowers where driads do dwell Adorned within green moss covered sheaves They shall whisper secrets then bid farewell For words they whisper no one shall believe Oh ancient Willow what tales doth thy tell When the winds blow throughout thy leaves.  back to list |
Lorainne DafneyIn my garden with thoughts alone drifting between perfumed flowers a sense of security, home no clocks chime the passing hour my thoughts are free like winds that roam in valleys and mountains towers in my garden with thoughts alone drifting between perfumed flowers Where seeds are planted and then grown sprouting quickly from spring showers their dainty petals seem to clone from garden fairies sweet powers in my garden with thoughts alone drifting between perfumed flowers back to list |
Jem FarmerThe first embrace is with the eye, That sings the soul of love's sweet song. A simple kiss, the choral sigh, No shortened notes that last too long, As gentle touches softly cry, To wrap the heart in love's sarong The first embrace is with the eye, That sings the soul of love's sweet song. Two hands entwine, no question why, This gentle thing that walks among A crazy world that flies on by, As in this love two hearts belong, The first embrace is with the eye, That sings the soul of love's sweet song.  Universal Love - Sundeepr ----- Beach Walks A child I was and nothing more, When first I gazed upon the sea, I wandered here along the shore, A-dreaming all the things to be, When life was still a mystery, Each day something new to explore. A child I was and nothing more, When first I gazed upon the sea, But now with you I share my shore, In realms of love, of you to me, And so I know my destiny, Like all the days I knew before. A child I was and nothing more, When first I gazed upon the sea.  ----- A Devon Lass A Devon lass was Mary Read, Raised as a lad the pirate queen, All for her mother’s wish to succeed, To the world a boy was she seen, Elizabethan trews were her screen, So male in dress, in thought and deed. A Devon lass was Mary Read, Raised as a lad the pirate queen, Avast, she swapped the widow’s weed, The pirate’s code became her scene, The woman’s world that might have been, A place she felt she didn’t need. A Devon lass was Mary Read, Raised as a lad the pirate queen.  ----- Farewell to NaPoMo The time has come to say goodbye I'm sure we'll meet again next year, On All Fools I sat, wondered why, Could I compete with doubt and fear, A write a day or something near, Enough to make this poet cry The time has come to say goodbye I'm sure we'll meet again next year, Today it's done, and I must sigh, NaPoMo's fun and full of cheer, I've earned this long awaited beer, I wrote each day and that’s no lie The time has come to say goodbye I'm sure we'll meet again next year. ----- For Lissi and Sky Come join us as we celebrate, Within the circle that never ends. We hear the trees reverberate, Come join us as we celebrate, Our simple vows, so intimate, Our love blessed by our gods and friends. Come join us as we celebrate, Within the circle that never ends. Let's dance and sing until it's late. Come join us as we celebrate, We toast with wine, our future's great Come join us as we celebrate, Within the circle that never ends.  ----- Love Echoes As embers fade to night upon the grate, Your gentleness lifts your hand to my face, Our senses yearn although the hour is late, And the cold night air cannot know this place. The softest kiss begins our love's dictate, Every touch echoes feminine grace, As embers fade to night upon the grate, Your gentleness lifts your hand to my face. The rest of life must now just simply wait, For now is ours, in our own time and space, The time our hearts can freely integrate, No need to run and no more need to chase As embers fade to night upon the grate, Your gentleness lifts your hand to my face.  back to list |
Lori MartinIt appears again I must say goodbye, letting love fly through mist of pain, releasing my hold with heavy sigh, vowing, never shall I trust again. Tears overwhelm will not to cry, shattered heart leaves bloody stain; it appears again I must say goodbye, letting love fly through mist of pain. If life were only pure black white (instead of all this murky grey) and lovers would mean what they say. Understanding not the how or why, it appears again I must say goodbye, vowing, never shall I trust again. ----- Song of the Lori Jaye the silence burdened with her plaintive song melancholy cry of the Lori Jaye to fly beyond this cage, her clipped wings long despite Fate's decree that here she must stay green gold eyes weep while heart yearns to be gone as each morn she watches dawn of new day the silence burdened with her plaintive song melancholy cry of the Lori Jaye wills her mind to accept, tries to be strong unable to fly, her strength slips away rainbow-hued aura slowly fades to gray a comfortable life but its essence wrong the silence burdened with her plaintive song back to list |
Leny RooversAs breath is born within my core, awareness flows along my spine. While ribs expand and air is stored, I feel each vertebra align- in lotus pose upon the floor, I’m resting in my inner shrine. As breath is born within my core, awareness flows along my spine. My chest expands to open doors between my body and my mind- my soul protects a precious ore from which Your radiance now shines. As breath is born within my core, awareness flows along my spine. ----- Choices I I’m softly stroked by your warm voice, stirring my body deep inside; memories pleasantly rejoice as I’m carried on words’ soft tide. Sometimes life offers us a choice- dare we make it, follow new guides? I’m softly stroked by your warm voice, stirring my body, deep inside. We must choose freely, never foist, and reaching hands should be untied, as only then eyes can grow moist in mirrored glances filled with pride. I’m softly stroked by your warm voice, stirring my body, deep inside.  Choices II Each moment of our life we choose between reality and dreams. I know that there are different views, and neither might be what it seems. As many-layered truths confuse, we often see but the extremes. Each moment of our life we choose between reality and dreams. Our daily life might bring the blues- we wish for more exciting schemes; yet sometimes, with a lucky fuse, present and longing flow in streams. Each moment of our life we choose between reality and dreams.  Choices III I used to live in clouds of pink, not in the moment of today. Like grains of sand, but out of sync, my life spilled speedily away. One morning I woke up and blinked- Had I forgotten how to play? I used to live in clouds of pink, not in the moment of today. From that day on I am and think. Awareness holds all clouds at bay- connected with a conscious link, I fall in step with life’s sweet sway. I used to live in clouds of pink, not in the moment of today.  ----- Fear I feel this person in my head He's trying to take over me And makes me stop to live instead So now my life's no longer free The thoughts he thinks are really bad I feel him watching me with glee I feel this person in my head He's trying to take over me Some days I'm longing to be dead Then I won't have to pay the fee Which will be mine when I'll be lead To that I just don't wish to be I feel this person in my head He's trying to take over me!!! II Ever so slowly I can feel My mind being taken over The world is becoming unreal As I day by day discover! No matter how I may appeal Or may try to find a cover Ever so slowly I can feel My mind being taken over I cannot escape this ordeal My spirit has to uncover Need a hiding place to deal With this dread that seems to hover Ever so slowly I can feel My mind being taken over III I feel I'm being drawn apart And bits and pieces of my ME Are slowly breaking from my heart Will there be any left to be? I feel I have to be on guard For all these parts of me I see I feel I'm being drawn apart And bits and pieces of my ME Are growing like a vicious wart They listen to the name of WE Where is the I, I used to be? I'm searching; don't know where to start For bits and pieces of my ME I feel I'm being drawn apart!!!!!!! IV I feel I have to find a way To reunite these many I's It's too confusing every day To listen to their many lies I need to find a way to stay Just one, at least in my own eyes I feel I have to find a way To reunite these many I's If I can switch most off I may Be able to live without cries Find strength to live just through today I don't want yet to say goodbyes I feel I have to find a way To reunite these many I's V or the end of it I think I found a way at last To stop those voices in my mind To get rid of fears from the past Or jolly well pay back in kind Today I found in my mind vast A way to freedom from this bind I hope I found a way at last To stop those voices in my mind Go back to sanity real fast A message read in eyes not blind I look into those eyes and find For me the die has not been cast I know I found the way at last To stop those voices in my mind! ----- In Times Unknown In times unknown we must have met How could we else have met this time To our destiny we were led To find at last a love sublime It is not easy as of yet To tell of this is not a crime It took awhile before we met We had to wait a long, long time But after everything's been said I really couldn't give a dime I'll send you in this little rhyme All of my love and heart instead In times unknown we must have met How else could we have met this time? ----- Listening Within the silence of my soul I bow and listen to my heart; my mind is aiming for control, it still reflects each daring dart. Old armour bled from many holes- they’re mapped since on a rusty chart. Within the silence of my soul I try to listen to my heart. Your loving voice could make me whole, I trust there can be a new start, so one day we might talk and stroll and can look back on times apart. Within the silence of my soul, I try to listen to my heart. ----- Soul's Song As voice gives birth to thought in sound that echoes from the inner world, its circling overtones are crowned when flow of breath brings song unfurled. Your music's touch is deep, profound- within my heart vibrations swirl as voice gives birth to thought in sound that echoes from the inner world. While crystal clarity abounds, deep in my spine a snake lies curled. Resounding notes are spinning, twirl- entice her slowly from her mound; as voice gives birth to thought in sound that echoes from the inner world.  ----- Thankful There’s much that I am thankful for, my heart is flooding with Your gifts. Blue winter skies that I adore and autumn trees, when colours shift; The drive to work is not a chore, when dawn breaks red as grey veils lift. There’s much that I am thankful for, my heart is flooding with Your gifts. Life’s sweetness and its pain explore the way I cope with lessons’ cliffs. Your warm embrace touches my core- I learn to bend with harsher drifts. There’s much that I am thankful for, my heart is flooding with Your gifts. ----- Tides As waves of song wash on mind's shore, life's flotsam slowly is transformed; it's taken back into sea's core- left wreckage swept by last night's storm. My soul is cleansed, so it can soar above the planes where angels swarm. As waves of sound wash on mind's shore, life's flotsam slowly is transformed. This purity of sound explores all hidden corners and it warms as frozen hearts fall in rapport. Eternal rituals perform as waves of sound wash on mind's shore- life's flotsam slowly is transformed. Veils Within the realm of still veiled spheres, all deities converse with ease- no enmity amidst the peers as gentle talk flows like a breeze. Respect can end the reign of fears and growing insight will appease- within the realm of still veiled spheres, all deities converse with ease. If we could tune our inner ears to listen deep within soul’s seas, I feel all mental clouds would clear and love could heal the world’s disease. Within the realm of still veiled spheres, all deities converse with ease. Winter As winter grabs with icy hands, I long for your warm touch on me. I dream of summer, golden sands and weightless floating in blue seas. At work I have to meet demands- my time and thoughts at people’s plea. As winter grabs with icy hands, I long for your warm touch on me. Our thoughts have built a bridge that spans blue oceans, mountains, forest-trees. One day that bridge might firmly stand, connecting hearts in pleasure’s tease. As winter grabs with icy hands, I long for your warm touch on me. You There is so much now that we share, the steps we chose have been worthwhile. Your voice is telling me you care as our talks grow versatile; I feel your touch and am aware my lips curve in a newborn smile. There is so much now that we share, The steps we chose have been worthwhile. As deep inside me sounds a prayer, I am enfolded and beguiled. Your presence in my mind prepares my heart to end its lonely trial. There is so much now that we share, the steps we chose have been worthwhile. You Are You are my anchor in high seas, my light, when clouds bring early night. You are my harbour in the lee, sustaining me when waves cause fright. Your certainty brings expertise to hidden future's unborn sight. You are my anchor in high seas, my light, when clouds bring early night. Your arms embrace me when I freeze and lead my steps in ancient rites. Your whisper is my autumn breeze that cools my brow in shared delight. You are my anchor in high seas, my light, when clouds bring early night. back to list |

Divena & TerrySomewhere in time we have met before That forever remains deeply in our mind We strolled hand in hand upon the shore So much closer together for love to find Peace and tranquility from ancient lore Of eternal spirits that return to mankind Somewhere in time we have met before That forever remains deeply in our mind With special needs once more to explore Of lovers so affectionately entwined How shall these passions we both ignore When greatest needs shall be to unwind Somewhere in time we have met before That forever remains deeply in our mind.  ----- Somewhere In Time Somewhere in time two lovers kissed Fate looked down and began to smile. She is not heartless and never cruel But recognised that true love exists. And so time stood still for just a while Seeing that this was indeed a jewel.
