LOVE AND ROMANTIC POETRY
Be careful what you pray for
Be careful what you ask for With God it could come true like the sparkles in the sunshine the rainbow in the blue
be careful what you pray for for your sure to find a friend somewheres in the shadows where love and glory ends
be careful what you ask for for shes sure to turn your brain turn your whole world upside down on that mercy train
be careful where it takes you through sunshine and the rain her kisses they will thrill you then Shel come back again
be careful what your seeking for love will show the way where glories everlasting and blessings still remain
there's a light there in the tunnel its plain for all to see that shes taken all your heart my friend they call it destiny.
lost notes to a love song
Swift was the love she promised though like the whirlwind it declined dreams crashed out in fal;se illusions plus those thoughts all left behind swift was the promises she made like the seconds of her hands like a card dealt out on the vine far from the promises she made like the closeness of her touch lost there in the false moment somewheres stranded on the vine the gentle touch true handmaiden who once blessed this love sanctuary with pastures of lies and nothing less planted so proud on the vine the smoke of Truth eludes me now like the feathers of a swan with sacred words that promise nothing like the last notes of a song
TWO WOMEN two women in a kitchen where they shared their thoughts and dreams they fooled and had a scream they cooked the apple pie turned cartwheels then felt shy
two women in a kitchen two women in a home one dreamt of her tomorrows the other felt so sad alone
one carried all her secrets the other shared her dreams and woes one had to care for young children one really wanted to go home
ones hand stretched across the table the others heart across the shores one was destined for her true love the other knew her place indoors
one prayed for true salvation with grace and kisses sweet one dared to dream anothers dream one was truly so alone had eyes across the street
one lived for tomorrow the other rooted to the floor ones heart was in the country the other chained inside her doors
one blessed the day shed met him with flowers and true love the other was married to her obligations prayed each day for help from above
one went to church each Sunday always said her prayers one was grateful for life's gardens for the love of God upstairs
one had left behind her prison the marriage just in name the other studied law and god but neither was to blame.
JOYS AND INNOCENCE
childhood days and winter night a walk to bed by candle light a flickering flame a common prayer a word to god a child in prayer
days of joy and innocence so free of country picnics beneath the apple trees a dog to run with and call your own a summer fair and carousel days to recall when your alone a day when life was so young and swell a happy time beneath the sun across the fields where rabbits ran
he morning bus ride to the school the games of chance and fun at Poole the pretty clothes that the girls all wore the games of conkers in the fall the Christmas tree and firelight glow the winter frosts and falling snow
the winds of change which blew the land the forest glades the purbeck lands and golden sands the friends and family gathered around the merry trips to London town
the Xmas cakes and chocolate logs the memories left out in the fog the tunes we sang the ropes we spun oh the joys and innocence of the young.
KNIGHTS AND MAIDENS
He nestled in her sanctuary where he found his resting place his ardor was bitten and he knew at last his place all her wayward wishes were raised and sanctified he offered her his Lancelot for she was betrothed to be his bride...
she offered him her fruits of vine with wine a running free her heart was rich in comforts then and her sanctuary by the sea her refuge she had chosen well within his palace gates he held her in his arms that night made love in time n space
her sailors had all left the crew except one boatman rich he was smiling in his palace gate as her Sprite flame he lit her sultry ways were crafted then as the love from her it flowed she was transformed in Ecstasy and gave her heart so free n bold
there within the forest walk the gardens were in bloom the petals were so rich in dew and their blossoms were in bloom he knelt and prayed for love and trust and offered her his kiss within the secrets of the night he kissed her sultry sweetest lips
her boatman rose and sighed with care so tender was his speech the waters of the sanctuary gave all their springs as one when soaring breeze and summer sneeze gave way to falling leaves the harvest then was rich and free within her enterprise he saw the light that perfect night as he looked into her eyes
the knight was raised his Lancelot high and the maiden was released and free.
GIRL IN A MILLION
pretty as a picture candid camera show girl in a million my sweetheart dont you know
shy and bashful on occasion a lady on the town sweetheart in my arms she wears the lovers crown
smile to sink a battleship eyes to send you wild a woman in a million inside a little child.
REBELS IN LOVE
she was the captains daughter he was the lord mayors son they meet in strange circumstances when they were on the run
she was a fair maid a traitor to the cause he was a rebel spokesman didn't like the laws
they met one night in Bombay just before the war he had sold his future she was friendly with the whores
they met in darkness alley and shared a tale or two he was lost to reason and she was trouble too
they sailed upon the oceans to Indian shores she was cute and sexy never wore no drawers
he was tall and randy she suited him just fine together they sailed the ocean waves and drank a lot of wine
their friends were fine n dandy pirates and outlaws they fought the roving battles for any noble cause
their ship was called the enterprise though they didn't have a plan they took on many a pirate and many an old deckhand
the weather it was stormy they all got lost at sea they found themselves an island and lived there fancy free
they had two dozen children they all grew up so fine they sold the coconuts to the natives and fermented wine.
BRIDAL VERSE
when the mind wonders and the words don't seem to flow just think of me sometime and the places we would go when your thoughts lay drifting oer the wonders of this world don't look for wisdom there in every line cause ya know its quite absurd when your cast in glories anthems and the sonnets they do flow just be grateful for the poet bards of a long long time ago
when you think you've heard a whisper there upon the seven seas be grateful for a poet because hes begging on his knees
when the light you shine still flickers within your dreams again just be honest in your wonderings and your journeys across the plains
for theres thruth in every stanzas that the storyteller wrote as he composed his symphony of words so beautifully eloped
though you may be outcast within these reels of rhyme your never truly lost if your love is on the vine
for the petals of the blossoms state that love is sanctified when romance is on the wings of love and your his dearest bride.
country gal
she was a love of mine a beauty and a rose she offered me her friendship and words that shed composed
she was born within the sunshines rays and raised up in power she was an angel of mercy and a prairie flower
her mother was a baker and her father was a judge her brothers were all boxers and each one held a grudge
i loved her in the springtime when buds were on the trees i loved her in the meadows she had me on my knees
i loved her in the straw i loved her in the fall she was pretty as a picture and her frame was heaven sent she captured up my innocence and offered me her scent
she went to church on Sundays and read the bible quotes she was such an angel and she kept a nanny goat
she made love on Mondays and she booked it in her notes she was playful as the fairies and as neat and so composed
kept me on my toes
she wore frilly dresses and Lacey underclothes
she was a lady in the daylight and at night she was a rose
she tied her hair in ribbons and she had me in her spell i was just a country boy and it was for her i fell
she was sentimental spoke words of diction too took me in the hayrick took me for a fool
her neck was majestic and her body too she played games with my heart and took away my blues
she was quick with her affections fast with her touch she gave me comfort in the daytime but at night she was too much
she was styled in cute perfection right down to her toes she was perfect in her demeanor and rare beneath her clothes
the parsons son was jealous though he didn't throw a line just asked us where wed been and did we have a good time
the church bells they were ringing and the meadows they were green we heard it from a distance the night of Halloween
she was precious in her movements and she was free with her caress she loved to share her feelings that much i can confess
the night was full of starlight and the moon was all aglow as we lay there in the hayloft we had nowhere else to go
the moral of my story the wisdom of my tale don't go off to the haystacks with just a country gal.
GALLOPPING HORSES
Just like galloping horses across the prairie lands like the whistling of the winds love cannot understand
just like pinto stallions brushed n rare n free you ride the hills of love then you come home to me
like a whispering maiden you whisper soft n low through the hills and the canyons like the stagecoaches long ago
across the Indian country through future reservations plains you ride like galloping horses then you whisper just my name
just like coyote country afore the western territory the buckboards n the wagons the cactus ridden trails across the wide Missouri down to the duck-wood creek across the blessed river your fortune for to seek
just like galloping horses afore the hide was laid the stetson and the saddles the cowpokes country maid
you rode the prairies daily the wagon trains and dust the Oklahoma badlands where no one could you trust
through wild and Indian territory where smoke signals were relayed they smoked their pipes of peace afore their warriors graves
high up above the Rockies the sun beat down so free you rode the hills of hope and tears then just like galloping horses you found your way home to me. battlefields of love
I'm stranded on these battlefields with the enemy in my face no room for hope and valor thoughts and reasons all misplaced Ive conquered all those victories somewheres down the line there's a heart full of confusions love left far behind brides all left revisited on some far distant plain where hope bleeds out eternal in these lovesick games in a caricature of thoughtlessness wastelands on that road somewheres between the road to vanity of jest and dare and mode all love was promised faithfully yet in life its all destined lost out to fantasy moments somewheres down the line.
DORSET POET I'm not a doctor of philosophy don't have a science lettered PhD have no need for master degrees or dips in the common touch I'm just a lonesome poet here with no need for a crutch
I'm not into perfect vision and all that spinning rhyme my handle is my motive and i read your every line the master tactician he wrote a phrase for me but i was lost in romance out upon the seas
the durzet broads they taught me to love and to frequent the sidewalks and the rivers for sources of lament so i took my candles with me and i strolled there in the dark waiting for the spark of life and somewheres there to park
i counted all my blessings rounded all my lines then i wrote her words in sonnets every single rhyme though her eyes they were so dreamy and her breasts left me ablaze i squandered thoughts and interludes until my heart she saved
her magic hands they touched my soul and her kisses thrilled me so i held her in the moonlight close and would not let her go through troubled past id frequent with weary songs of woe i cherished on her ruby lips and there i loved her so.
