Tuesday: hahaha.. Nicely done!

Nick,

I don’t tell you often enough
But you are special to me.
In my heart I hold you near
A friendship both have we.

A strong and guiding hand you give
encouraging strength and care.
Unbiased friendship for either
choice however I should fair.

You mean the world to me my friend,
to which you may not know.
And through your care and concern to me
My self was let to grow.

ΜīήďSрŷ: Welcome to Brainking.. everywhere I turn I am seeing you.. I figured I might as well say hello.. so.. Hello!

America

LuckyCat9: Well hello Lucky..

I see you enjoy the nursery rhymes..

Artful Dodger: awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Dan that is so sweet.. *cracks a smile* Your wittle grand daughter is so lucky to have you..

BulletProof: thankies.. ;)

whoo hoo!! yea haw

Foxy Lady: Thanks.. yes.. when I get inspired I write..

All in a dream...

A dream captured me...
floating me up so high....
on a poofy cloud so soft....
way up in the sky...

I see a unicorn....
with its gentleness float on..
and rainbows so bursting with color..
that I could wish upon...

Though dreams may be magical....
and unreal...
it doesn't take away......
the love for you I feel...

My journey through this life...
is often hard at times..
but floating on this cloud to you...
softens it just fine..

I wish into the nightsky...
upon the brightest star...
stare into the moon...
and dream that you're not far...

the postman brought me a letter....
it arrived today....
breathing it in....
reading what you say....

I see the words in front of me...
I hold it close to my heart..
I read the written words not once..
but, several times to start..

and even though it is not what you write..
that makes you so real.
it is the loving care...
that this letter has made me feel..

this empty piece of paper once...
had been in your hand first..
composing written words from you...
after receiving it.. has quenched my thirst..

Never before have I received a gift...
that touched me so dear...
I have only you to thank...
for bringing yourself so near..

ArtfulDodger: yes.. wonderfull

I WONDER

white fluffy cotton balls
fluttering through the sky
slowly falling in flakes,
to leave a white blanket covering the ground.

Kids dancing happily
grabbing mittens and scarves..
building snowmen and forts...
laying in its softness and shifting their arms...

I wonder

soft chirping birds
fluttering through the sky
building nests on the tree limbs
slowly swooping and drifting, spreading their wings to fly

Kids dancing happily
grabbing kites and tails....
watching colors of triangles..
smelling at flowers starting to bloom, picking them innocently.....

I wonder

Bright brilliant flashes
fluttering through the sky
full of energy.. and clapping...
bringing along with it... heavy droplets of water, to feed natures call....

Kids dancing happily
as the storm moves on..
staring at tears from above trickling on the window...
feeling the warmth of the sun... and the coolness of the swimming pool....

I wonder

Oranges, yellows, reds and greens
fluttering through the sky...
giving freedom to the branches...
and turning crisp and cool, days get much shorter..

Kids dancing happily
making friends at school...
learning history, arithmatic, and science
seeing pumpkins, and holiday wreaths.. bringing joy to their hearts....

I wonder.....
do you see the same way I do..?

written on 020501 posted to bluemountain arts.. on same date... :)

How I dreaded this day would come
though at this time you don't realize
the hug and kiss you offered so...
was the start of just letting go...

Then deep pain within, will shortly start
tearing at your precious heart..
I will offer my caring arms..
to comfort you.. and protect from harm..

Your father is a good man, he tries..
yet confusing will make your innerside cry..
How he could move so far away
and promise to you visits for a future day.

I shall not promise the lies he's made.
I don't walk in his path.
I have facts that he has done this before
I know it won't be his last.

You are young and innocent and try to believe
Yet only inside you will grieve.
The anger has yet to come I know.
and I your mother will help let it out.

I don't know how a parent could do this.
he knew he could never be there
why does he do this... does he care?

Back to the beauty of...
the Rose of Red...

Strip off those petals...
lay down their sweet scent...
upon the cool covers...
where I lay my body spent...

The silkiness surrounds me...
it tickles my skin...
a red cast has etched itself
the sheets of within...

The moon softly floats...
as it pauses in the sky...
through my curtain it illuminates..
a shadow of the rose and I...

We shall be alone soon...
you and I......
looking at the moon.....
in the sky, so high....

Breathe me in......
just a minute more....
before I must leave....
and close the door.....

For I shall be here....
lingering in the night....
hold on to my thoughts.....
hold on to them tight....

Is it so wrong to want you so...
the miles between us.. even though...

the miles of ocean... that glisten so free...
the fact that you are half a globe from me...

Knights in White
Run wild and free..
the warm summer breeze..
Take all of me now..
then leave with a bow!!..

The sudden life forces..
they tremble within..
Urges of desire..
Known only as Sin..

Capture the essence..
Of romance yet young..
give to me my pentance..
and take of me my tongue..

For desires deep inside..
lure to me your call..
Awaken passions fury..
til then.. when it's Fall..

Yes.. that is me as well..

I probably would have put more of my poetry on their site.. but, every time I submitt one it has to be submitted through a contest.. and then they have a limited amount of space you can use.. so I end up having to reword the poem.. or chop it in other ways..

That "Today was your B-day was put on to CD as well as in a book.. I had 3 or 4 others that were to be published.. I never bought any of the items since I could never afford it.. I was also a bit upset that my name wasn't showing under the published pages they have on their site..

And like you.. some of the poems getting awarded the prizes weren't all that great..

Mostly I use the site so I can show others my poems and they are stored somewhere so I don't loose them totally if I have puter problems..

here is the first poem they promised as being published. I have yet to see my name on their lists for published Authors and I have had 5 offers of the 6 or 7 I have posted to their site.. Each offer comes complete with an order form for my own copie of the book.. Which is rather pricy.. I don't believe I have ever seen the finished product sold to the public..

TODAY WAS YOUR BIRTHDAY

~To My Lovely Daughter Bree~
Today was your Birthday, 18 you turned..
Candles on the cake, forever they burn..
Memories of years, how quickly they passed..
Crawling to walking, an Halloweens 1st mask..
You breathed in life, six minutes to noon..
Laughed at funny faces, stared at the Moon..
Today's your Birthday, eighteen you must be..
Taking your future, a woman now I see..
Celebrating in a city, Far away you roam..
Soon off to college, miles away from home..
We celebrated with barbecuing..
Just like we always do..
One thing was different..
It was celebrated without you..
A Trip to New York..
With your father you went..
What a lonesome firework show..
Your Momma has spent..
Happy B-Day Bree!

I see the beginning and end.. don't know if perhaps more detail of how the heart changed would make it more complete..

Just my thoughts.. very nice

With a big red bow...
looped and neatly tied..
No sticky tape to mess with..
wrapped tightly inside..

Hidden under paper
with just a breathing hole..
Not much room to move..
Why! it even covers my mole..

On the outter package
a message stamped with ink..
This Side Up! and another..
Fragile, I think..

Gift tag on the ribbon..
To You - sealed with a kiss..
Only one rule to follow..
Don't open before Christmas!

Tender words for you to share
In your heart you seem to care..
Your eyes they sparkle, dance and cry..
as if to stand out and yell, Notice I!!..

Once upon a midnight blue
When birds are sleeping; but the owl says HOO!
Tinkering noises made in the dark..
even the dogs... make not a bark!

Feel the warmth as the sun does rise
Smile to the East as the birds fly by..
Open the shutters, and comb your hair..
Let it not be a dream, or do we Dare!?!
