Dripping Raindrops

 Dripping Raindrops

The rain began quite lazily
tap tap tapping on the canopy

Drop drop dropping on the jade green grass
under subdued light drops shine like glass

The wind kick ups a ruffled breeze
soon the rain is drip drip dripping from the trees

Loud thunder strikes and with it brings
rain pouring down in liquid strings

I hoped this storm would quickly pass
and before too long it had cried it's last

Again I hear- drip drip dripping from the trees
as the raindrops drip off the fresh spring leaves.

Let Go

LET GO

You spend your time worrying
     about so many things
You take a little problem
     and give it giant wings

You let it cloud your senses
     leading happiness astray
You fret and whine relentlessly
     another ruined day

Choose your battles carefully
     all is not as it seems
Let go of the small things
     don't let them ruin your dreams

The little things have a way
     of working themselves out
It really isn't worth your while
     to cry and scream and shout

Sort out all your problems
     push the tiny ones aside
You will feel more joy each day
     less tears you will have cried

Focus on your blessings
   they will never make you blue
Choose a fresh prospective
     each day, a new view

This life is full of mountains
     but when you reach the top
You feel it was worth the struggle
     you're glad you didn't stop

Brush off the petty problems
     don't let them dig at you
Let go and enjoy happiness
     let each day be new.

Soul Mates

 Soul Mates

I remember the day the world fell away
as you walked into this place
Our eyes locked from across the room
and our souls felt the embrace.

It could almost seem like love at first sight
Our connection was deep from the start
I thought it was wrong this feeling so strong
but if felt so right to my heart.

Both of us were tied to another
our union could never be right
Each day you stopped in just to say hi
but soon you started calling at night.

You said our feelings must be addressed
as they certainly could not be denied
But I told you they must be suppressed
to our spouses, we don't want to lie.

Time moved on as it always does
you still came in every day
We remained friends just because
for now, there was no other way.

After a couple of years, I was promoted
my work was at a new place
But it never changed those feelings I felt
when again, I looked in your face.

You walked in with that smile so bright
I couldn't believe that after so long
all of those feelings still felt so right
that my heart sang a happy song.

My marriage was over, I had to move on
when I told you, you started to smile
I wondered where your mind had gone
then you confessed, yours had been done for awhile.

After all this time, we made some plans
to have our first date that night
When you placed a kiss on my waiting lips
We both knew ~ our souls fell in love at first sight.

Magic Moonlight


MAGIC MOONLIGHT

Full moon enchanting
     summer night
Fireflies dancing
     soft misty light
Shadows playing
     across the land
Lovers walking
     hand in hand
Balmy breezes
     in the tree
Night seems full
     of mystery
Enchantment spills from
     twinkling stars
Silence whispers
     the night is ours

The Last Thing I Need

The Last Thing I Need

They all promised plenty
none ever came through
I was forced to move on
from the lies and abuse

I can't sit and long 
for what I don't have
Those feelings of want
could drive me quite mad

So deep and unsettling 
to wallow in sorrow
It strips away hope
for today and tomorrow

They say loneliness kills
and this may be true
But living without hope
Can do the same thing too

Dark negative thoughts 
can ruin your dreams
Deep in your heart
you feel the screams

All bloody and ragged
they tear at your soul
It can make you believe
you will never feel whole

When deep loneliness 
starts gripping at me
I cut myself off 
from society

Though it may seem
the wrong thing I know
You can't see me like this
my pain, it will show

It's only people, you see
that created the pain
and brought to my life
the wrong kind of rain

I don't have it in me
to tear downs these walls
I carefully keep built
to block out the falls

If I don't let you in
my heart you can't break
the LAST thing I need
is another heart ache.

(NO, not crying in my beer, lol - just letting the words flow)

Pearlescent Moon

Pearlescent moonbeams glowing
through the gathering mist
lights my way down a path of
emerald grass the dew has kissed

Ahead the lake just sparkles
aglow in that pearly light
An owl hoots from the old oak tree
his voice echoing into the night

This night now draped in shadows
as I stroll this path alone
a peaceful calm serenity
stays with me as I walk home.

Butterfly

Noiselessly floating-
on those silky windless wings
in life's brief moment.

(one of my first Haiku-  archives 2001)

Better Than a Million

Better Than A Million

There is that nagging restless feel
deep within the soul

You'd be quite content to ignore it all
but you feel less than whole

It's hard to live your life alone
as your days unfold

No heart to love or hand to hold
while we are growing old

Someone who shares your adventures
when you're feeling bold

Or snuggles you safe in their arms
when you're feeling cold

Someone to share your feelings with 
when they must be told

Who lets you be just who you are
without needing control

A true and loving companion is
worth more than a million in gold.

The Death of Trust and Love

They said you would deceive
     I didn't want to believe

I loved with all my heart
     thinking we would never part

I stood loyal and true
     Always believing in you

For years I was played
     and ultimately betrayed

Too many times it seems
     too many broken dreams

I don't think I can heal
     when I can't trust how I feel

When you said you lied
     all trust inside me died

I fear I'll never recover
     from the lies of my "friend and lover".

Tree Hugging

Trees stand proud as they reach and sway
Somehow they tether me to ground
Without them I might float away
Never wanting to be found

Standing peaceful and serene
They have seen all in this land
Ground and sky and in between
True grace from nature's own hand

Tied to this Earth on which they stand
Yet gracefully they dance free
Thriving so patiently and grand
Without them we would not be

With nature I have formed a bond
That calms my very soul
Her gift of those trees I am fond
When Nature's hand I hold.
