Childhood delight, if meant to be
S'mores-gas-bord, little choc-o-chips
A Peanut Butter-Jelly tree

Capri Sun, lil' pouches - hmm - see
Jumping rope, and hop a few skips
Childhood delight, if meant to be

Squirrels & birds, quickly, munch with glee
Tree-crow protects from bunnyips                  
A Peanut Butter-Jelly tree

Sneaky, scavengers disagree
these treats for itty-bitty snips
Childhood delight, if meant to be

Problems could arise - gollee gee
Peanuts  fall, they'll grab with grips
A Peanut Butter-Jelly tree

Nocturne critters, smaller bee
leaving behind few honey drips
Childhood delight, if meant to be
A Peanut Butter- Jelly tree

Read Poems by Steve Harvell

It is there to which is the beauty in all. 
That of the heart to which we live and crave life. 
It is that of an exotic heart to which we love in life. 
That with a beauty of the skies as we hold that someone of special inside. 
As it is that of a blessing to have that to which comes from inside. 
It is that with a heat of passion as I have found myself to love one of passion. 
It is that of the soul I fly as I soar that of the higher lands. 
It’s there my erotic passion is as I think of us in play above a cloud. 
Yes’ that of a land of free with rivers running abroad. 
With that of beauty to behold as it is a land of bright. 
Filled with that of great joy and love, knowing that you are here to love. 
That in you I have found that of a greater love and that’s my hearts in love. 
It comes with that of an exotic love as you make my heart feel that of love. 
Feel that of a land of free as it soars above that of the highest seas. 
Yes’ that of a mountain top rise because it is there the sea once lye. 
But in my heart I have found that of a higher rise and knowing of you and 
the love from inside. 
As it is that of my erotic heart I hunt, is that of a fulfillment I feel 
as I feel you here next to me. 
In my heart but laid deep in the soul for it is there you roam as I feel that of 
a passion and that is to which is my exotic heart in passion. 
Feeling that of you here with me and both our hearts in an exotic passion, 
with that of a love of high. 
Because I would love you from the deepest of the inside as I would 
always feel that of an erotic move. 
As it is you that has made my heart in an exotic move.

Always

The first time I saw you, your beauty captivated my heart,

Yet I didn’t know  that things between us would start.

The evening we shared a gaze, I yearned to confess,

As time stood still, for a moment to undress.

The true meaning of our mutual attraction.

 

Everything seemed so tranquil and right,

When we made love by day, knowing it couldn’t happen at night.

Our second encounter was mind blowing to me,

Your sexy and beautiful that what I see.

 

I had to, I have to, have you each day, 

Or I will be as a flower withering away.

Your are magnificently sumptuous, scrumptious to eat,

With tantalising enticing rhythmic hips that hypnotise to a soothing beat.

 

The words fail me, what more can I say,

I had to, I have to, have you each day.

World's Ending

''through clouds of smoke, 
through acid rain, 
all you can see, 
is destruction and pain, 
bomb shells dropping, 
endless bullets fly, 
till no one is left, 
to see the world die, 
thanks to humans, 
we live in fear, 
and because of them, 
we can not hear, 
the crying and mourning, 
of lost loved ones so dear, 
so this is how it will end, 
with us killing them, 
and them killing us, 
the human race is hopeless, 
we've made our own doom, 
we have made our own hell.

Dancing Bird

Dancing Bird

Yesterday, I saw a shadow dart across my keyboard.
When I turned to look outside the window, 
I spied upon a sparrow playing in the sun.
He was dancing in dramatic fashion 
Across the shrubbery that was his home.
I could tell it was a male by his markings.
He was busy with his boasting, and proud.
No longer a fledge, he fluffed his feathers
To parade his prowess to all that might adore him. 
Then, he pivoted into a pirouette, and pranced
Most skillfully across the length of a branch
And launched himself into flight.  

Today, the sounds of birds cackling and chirping
Inside the shrubbery drew me to the window.
I could see three sparrows engaging in some fun and frolic.  
Perhaps it was some flirtatious mating ceremony. 
While most sparrows do look alike,
I’m sure that one of them was the dancing bird
I’d seen the day before.  I watched briefly and smiled,
Remembering my own courtship and rivals
Who would fancy my choice as their own.
I returned to the monitor and before I could begin 
My work, there was a loud thud upon the glass.
I gazed outside and there upon the ground was a small hawk
Clutching the dancer in his talons. 

Tomorrow, this bird will not dance.
He will not sing or court another.
And as sparrows are many,
I will no doubt find another to enjoy from this vantage.
I chide myself for failing to warn him of the danger.
I was too busy with my own enjoyment to notice.
Now, I close my eyes and reconstruct those moments
As I attempt to resurrect the dancing bird,
And preserve him.

BEING FRIENDLY

How hard can it be to say hello to a stranger on the street
or smile and say "how are you" to anyone you meet?
It sure can't hurt to be polite or lend a helping hand
or give a friendly word of cheer or respect your fellow man.
Be friendly toward your neighbor, don't try to shut him out
peaceful co-existance - that's what life is all about.
You can turn a frown into a smile by just the words you say
like"please" or "thank you very much" or "have a real nice day".
Sometimes a friendly gesture or a little word of praise
is all it takes to bring that smile, it's true - you'ld be amazed.
Remember the times you were off somewhere in an unfamiliar place,
how much better it made you feel when you saw a smiling face?
If you apply the Golden Rule to all you say and do,
you'll talk to others just the way you'ld have them talk to you.
We're in this world togeather and will be till we die,
we can't make friends with everyone but it wouldn't hurt to try!

A Snug House
By: Noel N. Villarosa


 
A snug house on the prairie
Where family members return and urge to nestle
Stoking intimacy gone in the past
Of pluvial and winter, it withstand

The pineal form of its roof
Where nestlings kept and fed by their mother bird
Is a life-giving when the sunbathe its frame
A time to harmonize to the swing of season’s best

A place to revitalize strength after a snappy pace in work
Pointless and aimless views settled in one decision
As all are desolating and aging
A promise is kept for going back again

Hibernate in the coldness of the night
Return engagement to activities in daylight
Back and forth nailed its floor with footsteps
By sunrise everyone is gone, alone again standing is the snug house


I am

I am a lover of what i understand.
A fighter of the unknown.
The sheppard of this earth,
Where many mark it with birth.
This rock with smoothed edges.
these grass patches filled with life.
The lights fill the sky,
Where we ponder heavenly might,
From our visions of glorious sights.
Here we wonder the days of chance.
In the distance which forever has stance.
Creeping closer with every glance.
We guide these voices.
As in our own trance.
The sheppard,
A fighter
The lover in hand
Forever roaming
these inglorious lands

For Marty, you saved me. This is one of many for you. I'm not creepy!!

Scissors meet wrist, 
my body shakes,
I drop the scissors,
As the blood cakes.

Razor meet thigh,
I breathe in deep,
I clean off the blood,
Right before I sleep.

Knife meet neck,
I think of you,
I cannot do it,
It cannot be true.

Fingers meet keyboard,
I write this all down,
To remember the times,
I wore scars as a crown.

Lips meet yours,
My heart beats fast,
You do this to me,
I want this to last.

Palm meet stone,
Is there a hidden purpose,
I look at you,
More than slightly nervous.

Heart meet you,
What I feel is love,
I thank God,
For this gift from above. 

Lungs meet smoke,
I'm in San Francisco,
What I was thinking,
I'll never know.

Voice meet Michael,
He seems like another,
I soon tell you,
Is he your brother?

I meet you,
You gave me hope,
You gave me strength,
Enough for me to cope.

Thank You

If i were a bird
I will fly on my wings,
To the highest mountain, 
To the deepest plain.
With my wings
I will soar, 
Till i can soar no more.
                        if i were a fish, 
I will swim with my fins,
To the deepest part of the ocean,
To the deepest part of the sea.
With my fins,
I will explore the beauty of the waters, until there is nothing left to see.
                        if i were a star, 
I will let my light shine, 
Lighting every part of the world, 
Lighting every part of the universe.
With my light,
I will light up the darkness in your hearts.
But am only human.
With my flaws and shortcomings.
I am not a bird. 
I am not a fish,
Neither am i a star.
I cannot fly on wings like a bird.
I cannot swim with fins like a fish.
I cannot light up the world like a star.
But i have love in my heart, and with that i can change the world.
I have you close to my heart, even if you are thousand miles far away
Even if my love for you, you never returned
If i was to make a dream come true...
I will make a dream of being with you come true
A dream that can never come to fulfillment
Love came first
Love that betrayed
Love that can never be...

How You Had Fought So Hard and Fierce !


My true love was gone from here..,

The challenge to be free is a question of time,

My one solution is using my mind..,

Living on the edge and its' going to my head !

Sitting up at night all alone in bed..,

Following the rainbow to the sky !

I see a crystal clear vision of you pass me by,

Our war were in is almost over ?

It's so hard to believe that I had lost my Lover ?
