FOR MY LOVE
Reblogged from Mortal Hearts with Immortal Souls:
For Jeremy, my soul mate and best friend. May our love be like wine growing sweeter with time. xo
Together our love will always be true,
growing stronger in all the hardships we come through.
For many a long and lonely night,
I prayed for you with all my might.
Before you my life was dark and bleak,
but God provided the love my heart did seek.
Mother Nature's Child
Reblogged from Mortal Hearts with Immortal Souls:
Note: This is another poem written in my mid twenties. It speaks of my life growing up as an only child in my grandmother's care in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and the lasting impact of that life lived in so much harmony with nature out there in that beautiful country. I had the song 'Country Roads' by John Denver going through my head with memories of childhood and home at the time I wrote this.
Fallen to blackest desire
We all have a dark side, but what we do with it is what defines who we are. Yes, there is a dark place in my nature, but I am not that darkness. I think my readers know this by all I have written thus far. But it is useful and fun for me to vent aggression and depression in this way….so here it is, an experimental poem in which I present an opposite character…..hope you enjoy…..
Lift up the sickle and tear down the flowers
destroy everything that blooms
give me endless nights of pleasure and pain
violate my righteous pride.
Lay me down in darkest black
cover me in velvet nothingness
change me into a creature that lives,
high on the excitement of newborn power.
My flesh I offer up to you
feast upon my thirsty skin
drive away the mortal weaknesses
memories that bind me to the living.
Corrupt the peaceful waters that once flowed
change it’s form into blood
let us bathe in it’s warmth neath the moonlight
as the remnants of my white garment are stained.
Fill up my raw emptiness
with hungry passions
as we drink from the cup of abominations.
Call me into the dark realms of the ancients
where the fragility
of mortality eludes me
and I will give you my soul
for your wicked love
and for the crown of immortality.
My delicate wings
now thick as leather
and chaos now my consort
all who see me love me
and despair unto the grave
and sever their golden wings
in hopes of a kiss from my lips.
Transformed
my heart forever frozen in time
come and make me your bride
In day let us sleep
in the depths of the earth
and unite in blackest desire.

After the storm
A true to life event, a sensory poem where I attempt to convey my deep joy and emotion in a memorable moment I had with nature.
The atmosphere was electrified
from the intensity of the passing storm.
A light rain falling, so softly
like the petals of a rose
and the air smelled pristine
of new earth
fresh and clean.
The clouds were dark
and menacing
but lined in silver
as a white sun
broke through an opening
and shined it’s vivid light
upon the earth.
The raindrops reflected the light
and sparkled like white crystals
as it fell with such grace
from the heavens.
The shadows cast on the ground
were as of the night
of a full moon
accentuating and animating
every shrub and tree.
The contrast between
light and dark
was stark
but breathtaking in the
beauty of it’s harmony,
light and shadow creating together
a surreal and otherworldly scene.
And as I stood in the midst
of this natural wonder
I let my senses take over
letting them grow and reach out
as far out as they would go,..
and my soul was caught up
in admiration and surprise,
taken in absolute awe.
I was elated
wrapped up in a cocoon
of magic and reverie
as my mind, body and soul
answered mother nature
in her spectacular beauty.
I was helpless
to sound out a word
that would be sufficient enough
to convey the peace
and tranquility I was a part of,
so I gave myself over
to the sublime perfection
of the moment,
to the scene before my eyes.
And the instant I did this
I was lifted high in flight
on the wings of joy
soaring on a perpetual wave of bliss
that lasted until my head
rested upon my pillow
and sleep carried me away
with lovely dreams
in the night.

The lesson of the pebble
I know I just posted this song just a bit ago, but as I was listening to it again, the words for a poem came to me, so I decided to repost this song to this poem….hope everyone will enjoy it….
At dawn she rises, a day like any other
and tries her best to force a smile
again she’ll have to reach down deep
to keep her holding on for a while.
For so long she’s had to battle
this war between her heart and mind
she had not expected in all her life
to find these walls she’d built to hide behind.
Now her sorrow had outrun her
her burden too painful to hold
the joyful song her heart had once sung
was silent and dormant in the cold.
Happiness and peace once the pillars of her soul
in all things she’d found the beauty of a rose
but her world had turned to shades of gray
this is not the life she ever would have chose.
In the still and quiet of the morning
she walked alongside a stream
and wondered why her plans had failed
and deserted her soul in a broken dream.
Beneath the water something caught her eye
a pebble the color of the bluest sky
in the midst of all the others it’s color truly showed
the beauty in it’s solitude made her want to cry.
It was a rock like all the others
it’s journey too was much the same
but in it own uniqueness it proudly laid
alone, yet it didn’t complain nor think of another to blame.
She reached down through the water
and picked up the pebble with care
she would keep it in her pocket
to remind her of her time there.
For nature had spoken and she listened with her heart
and received a lesson that day
that no matter how lonely and forgotten we feel
his love remains near to show us a way.

EMBRACE OF NIGHT
Reblogged from Mortal Hearts with Immortal Souls:
Note: This is one of my earlier writings, which I wrote in my mid twenties. I was in a thoughtful state of enlightenment this day and I really enjoyed writing this one. My heart and mind were so connected and full of emotion that I felt like mere words were not going to be adequate enough to express the passion and revelation that was coming to me.

Breaking the Cycle
What an interior work of art,
to be so dumb, yet still so smart.
Seeing all the parts of our lives,
falling like leaves in a different disguise.
Watching the sun come out to play,
listening to the waters splash on the bay.
Feeling the bitter cold of a frozen day.
These seasons, like emotions will always remain.
The sun on my face fells like a blessing from grace,
Another lovely and reflective post by a dear lady and friend. She is new to the blogging community so let's give her a warm hello and welcome her into the circle. Love to everyone and have an amazing weekend..... :) Celeste

Alone in a World of Millions
Different colors, different race, different bodies,
with a different face, all living in the very same space.
Feeling alone in a world full of millions,
how can there be such an empty feeling?
Many emotions to be displayed,
many personalities to be portrayed.
Believe in something more than just flesh,
there is a gift that is more precious than the rest.
Introducing a a lovely soul and dear friend of mine. Please pay her a visit and welcome her to the blogging community....her words are honest and heartfelt, and you will be inspired by her thoughtful heart. Thank you and have a great weekend!! :)

My son and me
Sunny fun at the creek
bare feet splashing
in the clear cool water
catching crawdads
and froggies too
my son and me.
Little toy soldiers
cowboys and Indians
robots and aliens…
Who will win the war?
No one knows (but probably him)
best buds forever
my son and me.
Day at the park
as high as we can
we swing to the clouds
and back down again
we slide down the slide
with arms thrown up high
we run round and round
till the sky spins
and we fall down.
Smiling laughing
enjoying the time…
Oh how I love this son of mine!…
two peas in a pod, him and I
my son and me.
Bath time bubbles piled up high
sporting bubble hair and beards
bedtime stories we love to read
night time kisses and hugs for me
Over this tiny sleeping angel
I pray blessings and give thanks
our lives a gift to share together
my son and me.
