MYSTICAL AND CHARMING

 

THROUGH A POETS EYES

 

 

This world is full of beauty through a poets eyes

with love around each corner and each day a surprise

there's wonders in Gods glory with joys to fill your days

wonders in the hillsides and in the children's play

 

The paths that life doth offer us with trials and dreams to set

flowing rivers hills to walk and seas to travel yet

there's peoples of each continent ail full of great ideals

wonders of the seven seas and golden daffodils

 

The birds they sing their melodies and the lion roars and preys

the monkeys scamper in the trees and the lambs and dolphins play

the artist paints a masterpiece and the builder builds a dream

mansions on the hillside and pretty running streams

 

there's forest walks to saunter and hills to view the scene

rabbits in the meadows and crops of corn and bean

love to wonder daily with beauty on parade

pretty girls and lovely ladies sultry virgins and old maids

 

the carousel it spins each day and the vardos wheels they turn

one man in his castle and the other old and worn

soldiers in their battles and kings upon their thrones

one man his own master the other works alone

 

there's music set to symphony and artistes with great style

one plays a guitar loud and free and others sweet and with a smile

there's words to set us free to dream and words to hold us down

one man is a free person and the other wears a frown

 

the world is full of variety with cultures rich in tone

Sanskrit lines of Truth and grace and others on the vine

Prophets to study endlessly and writers of great pen

some are fools in jeopardy and others are our friends

 

the sun comes up each morning with hopes and plans to set

friends and neighbor's greet us here with sorrows and regrets

there's happiness in a child's smile and a kiss from a lovers lips

with freedoms on offer daily and religions soaked in myths.

 

 

FORSAKEN MEMORIES 

 

 

 

Branded and battered and beaten to dust

the poets life shattered with few men to trust

the lyrics and stanzas were lost on just fools

whilst the wise men looked on to mankind's own rules

 

The lofty professions were sanctified fame

with words that meant nowt to the fools on the plains

the softly spoken speeches were primed to fools ears

whilst the sparrow it fell and the Truth disappeared

 

The countryside pastures where poets did tread

where sweet virgin maidens all rested their heads

the trees offered sustance with the leaves and great boughs

where the woodlands were rich and the meadows by stour

 

The rabbits explored there and the foxes ran free

with the sounds of the gun in old histories

the constant companions get vent to the breeze

but its only a whisper amongst the tall trees

 

Under the pulpit where the preacher he stood

the children gave laughter as only they could

the bells rang their daily and the stars blinked each night

before child went to bed and they put out the light.

 

 

 

BRIGHT LIGHTS OF HOPE

 

 

 

I visited his dark room today and wandered through the veils

where many strangers sat and dreamed their life of living hell

he squandered all his mastery of written prose and rhyme

then lost his way in sadness gained amongst the grass of time

 

No hopes he offered there for me in bitter reels of rhymes

where hollow words of victory were squandered on the vine

the darkness there engulfed my dreams whilst honesty declined

of love lost romance lusted free like a poet in decline

 

I took along my lamp of hope and santify of grace

i spelt out love and promises all wrapped up in faith

the beacon of my promises shone within that space

where love and hope were sanctified along with faith and grace

 

The rooms were lit with feather dew and crystal ice so sweet

where cockerals crowed at dawn each dayt and sailors sailed at noon

the mortal screams of sanity hid from the darkness gloom

the words of comfort love and peace offered in that room

 

I heared his mournfull screams of woes and suffered his insanity

whilst i played my verse of gaitety and strummed beneath the moon

whilst virgin gals they kissed my hand and offered me a prayer

the sun shone through the curtains veils and i found my hope lie there

 

No more did i but venture there where poets mouerne and wail

whilst light was set for pastures new and happiness was swell

the candle flickered in the breeze whilst true lovers all were swayed

by stanzas full of merriment and soldiers on parade

 

The darkened room no longer stands with its sunshine peeping through

whilst birds did sing their melodies each and every afternoon

the kiss of love was granted free and the charm of verse was free

whilst the poet left for a better place and sailed out far to sea

 

 

 

LOCAL HERO

 

 

 

I was a local hero till I lost my words online

My virtues al forgotten somewheres down the line

My friends and old aquaintances branded me a fool

but I had trust upon my side and use the golden rule

 

The virtues of a man i found were grafted on the vine

amongst the words and stanzas i wrote them in my prime

The master politician told to me once upon a time

then i crafted them in solitude and wrote them on the vine

 

All through my youth and life of joy I crafted words so true

but trusted in the hopes of man and warrants of the fools

the journeys that life took me were plentifull and free

but I lost my way with childish dreams and battles overseas

 

The friends and strangers comfort me as I have no one to fear

only thruth and honesty granted through the years

my latent understandings and intutitive prayers

stood me in good manner for that climb up all lifes stairs

 

The birds they sang theur songs for me and the maestro played his tune

whilst pretty maidens in a row took my hand so soon

the gardens offered blooms that burst and perfume nectars sweet

whilst famous men and ladies offered verse at my feet

 

My long time insirations and noble words of rhyme

were squandedred in the morning light afore the ranks of time

i gathered up my armor there and wrote a symphony

that usheredred in the words of God that meant so much to me

 

All the lambs are on the hillside and the rabbits all ran free

whilst foolish ranting scoundrels hide their lies from me

I crafted all my teaching and wrote it in one line

to trust in God our maker and flow those words of rhyme

 

 

 

Dark poet

 

 

 

Crushed by thorns and shattered by his dreams

the lonesome poets serenades and lives amongst his schemes

where lonesome maidens search for him amongst life's twisting roads

along the tracks where lovers kissed and foolish gals eloped

 

Out there in his sanctuary where pride stands tall and free

amongst the sanctions of his hopes his words are but a scene

where kisses float on lustful schemes and pride comes for a fall

there's rooms of shadows lost in time where comfort knows no scope

 

Out there in the backwoods where he rocks upon his throne

he dreams of days and times gone by when hope was his true home

the birds they chatter in the breeze and a lonesome coyote calls

where maidens offer him his food and suffice wanton schemes

 

The hollow words he wrote to her where nowt but idle talk

whilst the moon shone through the canopy of stars and birds that squawked

the phantom of his memories were lost in time and space

whilst silly stanza came to home from somewheres out in space

 

He wondered where his youth had gone and where the seer did hide

then gathered up his tears of woes and sold them for a price

the cockerel crowed as morning broke and the Prophets sang a phrase

whilst visions of another time were granted in this place

 

 

 

Tomorrow amongst friends

 

 

 

 When friends are loyal to the core

and dreams are made in times of war

when winds do blow and troubles stir

the cross still stands for one and all

 

When harvest days we reap and bless

in times of troubles put to the test

when happy hours are shared with friends

we trust in God and not pretend

 

The hours we blesed when friends are true

when soldiers fought their waterloos

when troubles shared and love was gained

down pleasant walks of country lanes

 

Oftimes the anchors lifted free

when the boat of grace sails to liberty

when the trumpet blows and love is free

upon the pages writ for thee

 

The childish ways are set in sand

wen friends and comrades all hold hands

where ships that sail are full of joys

to share with happy girl and boy

 

Tomorrows hold the hopes of men

when prophets put their dreams to pen

when artists paint and maestros play

the symphonys of life today.
