UNTITLED
by Sharon Athanasos  

In your presence the star seem jaded
It is they that bask in your brilliance
Their glory and brilliant shimmer
Thrust to the corner of the universe
Making way for your golden illumination
To light a troubled world...
Beauty and serenity
Radiate from within your soul
Casting shadows not of darkness
But of brilliance and invitation
Enticing those who cross your path
To enter into your world of tranquility...
Hands that created you
Were loving, tender and meticulous
They moulded you with care
Attentive to detail, mindful of virtue
Instilling qualities that would be sought
Throughout the hearts and souls of legions
For many leagues and beyond...

THE LEGACY

TO MY GRAND-DAUGHTER

I've made a list of things I could give you,

A legacy, we'll call it, I guess.

The grandfather's clock in the corner,

And a very old cedar chest.

Down deep in a drawer is a silver watch,

That glitters as it spins and twirls.

You'll cherish that venerable old time piece,

For inside is one of your curls.

You'll find a tattered worn photo album,

And a crinkly fan from Japan.

And, of course, grandma's wedding gown,

When our life together began.

The Bible still rests on the table,

There by an old rocking chair.

Oh! I could go on for hours;

Our memories are everywhere.

There's a collection of rare old coins.

In what was once a music box.

And a hundred or more love letters

Kept under key and lock.

There are so many treasures I'll leave you,

Along with the list above.

But, my dear, the greatest gift I could give you,

Is my deep and heartfelt love.

Grandpa

Gale Rider

Outside in the thunder storms

as I sit here writing you poems

beside me a candle flickers in the wind

but to be with you I can only pretend

I have not seen you now for quiet a while

but it only makes me smile for I know it’s your style

I can feel you here even when you hide from my site

I just don't know, can’t explain, is feels so very right

I sense you carried the on the gale

and it heightens my awareness as my skin your wind does assail

I hear your heart beating on my roof in the pounding rain

and your power echoes through my essence, a thundering train

inside I sit with parchment and pen

as upon me I know it is you that does ascend

and wrapped in your storm I fell safe and warm

for I know in your projected arms I can feel no harm

This love for you

I don't know much about this world we live in.

I don't know if I've done much to make it a better place.

I don't know if there will be sunny days ahead.

I don't know if I can provide for you.

but I know my love is as true as the seasons,

...When Spring rains bring renewed birth,

.....When Summers warmth fills the day,

.......When Autumn colors herald beauty,

.........When Winter crystallises your purity.

I know my heart, lost in your embrace,

...Where all rains come freshly rushing in,

.....Where all warmth is forever kindled,

.......Where the colors of the rainbow reside,

.........Where love crystallises in lasting beauty.

I know my soul remains in your care,

...While you wash away my sorrows,

.....While you fill me with your warmth,

.......While you color my world brightly,

.........While you crystallise my love eternally.

I know my feelings for you are forever there.

...I will always wash the rain from you.

.....I will always warm your long, lonely nights.

.......I will always fill your pallet with rich, lasting colors.

.........I will always crystallise a brilliant lustre for you.

I don't know if I can make you a better place

.......in this world, or do anything in it.

I don't know if I can provide sunny days for you.

But I know my feelings,

.......and I know my heart and soul,

.............and I know I will always love you.

overwhelming, obsessing, regressing

i am just sitting here entranced

i feel him all around me

though i know he is far

and i wonder can he see

just what hes doing to me

is it to him known

what he has sown

how does he touch

the me i hide so much

a tenable hold on sainity i clutch

and i dont know why i want to cry

and why is it i sigh

for something illusional that is too real

why is it i really feel

why is not my heart protected by the bodies seal

i dont understand and my head aches

as i try so hard in my chair not to shake

or really even think or feel at all

for even now still my soul is raw

so i banter and dodge longing for what holds me in awe

and at the same time i despartly fight

not to loose myself in ur mental mite

for im just starting to see the immense sight

of what i have to have but tremble near

because you can see through me and i fear

why are you so close around me wrapped

the route to my soul do you have mapped

my heart is here emprisioned

as i cast for the futures vision

and hide behind play from what is more real than illusion

slow down

please dont turn around

for i am bound

but engulfed by fear

of what i know can hurt

and is too near

rhonda (c) 1997

the sign of my inspiration

where is my inspiration

was it only an aboration

i myself could not believe my eyes

when onto my retinas you did rise

and then just as fast cruely ripped away

leaving me bereft, in shock i stay

i cant believe what i saw

and how so my emotions are raw

but i fear it was only an illusion

of the real you mearly confusion

for i cant accept youd ignore me that way

float by and not even stop to say

anything at all, somehow to call

and i gasp, bracing, hopeing not to fall

i try to hang on to what the voice of reason states

but logic irrational fear abates

and i think strange and terrible thoughts

i feel dark despair wrapping wrought

havoc inside my aching heart

and i can feel sainity start to depart

but tiny, small, and true hope faintly speaks

you know you cant trust emotions peaks

take a breath, smile, and try to be of good cheer

it was a sign from heaven, he soon will be here

and as i feel me coming back to right

i sigh and long deep into the cold night

but i smile and a white candle spark to light

trusting inspriation divine will i soon tremble in his sight

vix... rhonda enrayne (c) 1997

a white candle

a white candle burns

in an otherwise dark room

and green eyes turn

as it pulls them from gloom

brighter it grows

whispering a soft caress

and a face glows

as she starts to undress

its late and time for bed

the candle warms the cold

and the flame burns never to die

i am in its hold

rising i know i should blow it out

but i need to be wrapped in its song

i dont have the heart and i pout

so i carry it with me and long

as i fall to sleep still i can see

a vision of you in the fire

and in my dreams you come to me

as the flame brings light to the mire

All Along

Gazing at your picture,

It seems to come to life --

To return my gaze

Mysterious, half-smiling,

It strangely seems to reflect

Your tender love for me;

Yet taken

Before you knew me,

Perhaps our love

Has been

All along -- waiting --

And it’s taken us this time

To find it.

©1997 Twyla Turnbow Sorrells

Another Corny Metaphor For Love

Love is a gently flowing stream

Strolling leisurely toward mountain's precipice

Unaware what lies before -- following it's destiny,

Suddenly rushing in blatant torrents

Cascading over the palisades

Tumbling downward, falling, falling, falling. . .

Until ceasing descent, landing in a blended fusion

Of effervescence,

Where it dramatically calms into it's indemnification

And serenity becomes the glass-top pool below,

Which flows into another gentle stream.

Lovers End

Sing me a song while i contemplate the legend

Sweeter then the spirits sphere, your voice indulged me.

Eyes of the blue ocean, the heart of an angel, and the figure of

the perfect woman

White silk hands make even the ugliest of foes florish in beauty

Voice filled the most despaired minds with joyous thoughts

My lover and beauty. The secrets hidden inside your vaults.

The gaurdian of shepards that no man dreadeth

And it all seemed to ruin where it thought to be raised

Been so bewildered by your treasures and praises

Neither sages nor priests forbade your actions

But who would believe a mere peasant as i

Seen the devil in an angels eye

That which made others breed shall make me diminish

No need for one to pick the pocket of I

Me with emptiness not even a pennys worth

Brought possets, brought I warmth only to

escape no sign

Oh what a unrurly night but object come and

Go and i've decorated the oceans with tears

So dry you were for sway, pray day

The fables come to ends...

A Love Poem

For a moment let me speak of Don Juan.

Perhaps now that I am older I can borrow

From Byron his legendary hero, a lover of sorts,

As my hero with whom I can follow along,

And learn as great lovers do to woo and to charm

The lady I love the heroine in my arms.

No, I'll leave Don Juan to Byron and do this alone

And sing to the Angel who calls me her own:

Light of my life

Dream of my dreams

My radiant wife

Who joyously sings

A love song so tender

O'er long lasting years

It's wonderous splendor

No sorrow, no tears

But love's lovely number

That kissed the night air

And caused me to slumber

It's music I hear.

Now my heart dances

To the love that I see

A woman enchanted

Upon the night breeze

That gently caresses

Like soft moonbeam rays

The curl of her tresses

While she slowly sways

In rhythm and motion

On soft blue vein feet

With love's true devotion

Kindhearted and sweet.

Light of my life

Dream of my dreams

My radiant wife

Who joyously sings!

When First I Saw Your Soft Brown Eyes

When first I saw your soft brown eyes

My thoughts exhaled with every breath.

I could not speak save in my heart

Enchanted by your loveliness.

You stole my heart with lavish smiles

While stars unvailed their glittering hue

And brought upon with evening shade

The beauty of eternal youth.

I should have been, my lady fair,

A gallant cavalier

And you a maiden in distress

To rescue from the dragons lair.

Through all the years we've been together

My heart still soars on Angel wings

Each day rewarded with new pleasure

By the grandeur of the songs you sing.

Yet still I see those soft brown eyes

That danced upon this poet's soul

And stired within a lovers heart

A passion that forever grows.

-Thomas Barnett

TWO FRIENDS GONE ASTRAY

TWO FRIENDS GONE ASTRAY

IT WILL NEVER AGAIN BE THAT WAY,

THE LAUGHTER AND THE TEARS,

THE CARING THROUGOUT THE YEARS.

WHAT BROUGHT US TO THIS DAY?

SHE WONDERS AS IF TO SAY,

IT REALLY WASN’T US WHO FOUGHT,

IT WASN’T US WHO BECAME DISTRAUGHT,

IF ONLY I HAD THOUGHT,

THAT IT COULD EVER END THIS WAY,

I WOULD HAVE HAD TO SAY,

LET’S DON’T DO THIS TODAY,

LET’S FIND A BETTER DAY,

SO WE CAN GO ON OUR MERRY WAY.

The Perfect Women
By: Umair Chagani
---------------------------------
When I look at you.
I see what natural beauty, is all about.
Right then and there, my heart tells me.
That you're the one it loves, without a doubt.

Your pearl like eyes.
Your velvet like hair.
That's why no man,
Can't help but stare.

If you have seen,
In this world.
This particular,
Kind of girl.
Make sure that you,
Remember her name.
So you can say,
That you once met,
The perfect female.

Green Day
By Colleen Dwyer

Your warm face nuzzled next to mine.
Watching that crazy punk band rocking out on stage.
The rain pouring down.
My teeth chatter because of the cold winds.
And your gentle embrace warms me both inside and out.
I think I really like you.

I've never felt like this about anyone before.
Nobody has ever been so nice to me.
And I can't explain "why?"
You just make me laugh,
You make me feel good inside,
And it makes me really like you.

My heart used to wrench in pain,
but now it beats freely.
Because I think I've finally found somebody.
I had almost given up my search.
But I'm glad I didn't.
'Cause, I think I really like you.

Now, my only fear is that I won't see you.
Because I want to share that moment again,
To feel your face against mine,
To hug you one more time,
And to tell you all the things I forgot to tell you.
I really do like you.

Two Worlds

One girl,
trapped in the middle of two worlds
one she loves,
but that world is being unkind.
It was so beautiful
so trustworthy.
In that world nothing could go wrong.
Until one day
clouds covered it's skies
and the thunder came quickly
Rain fell.
The storm lasted for so long.
The girl became scared.
What was happening to her beautiful world?
Then she opened her eyes
A new fun and kind world appeared.
She'd seen it before,
but was it like she expected?
Was it time for a change?
Should she try the new world that awaited?
As the storms of her beloved world calmed
She became confused.
Should she stay in the world
that she loves and knows
and risk another disaster?
Or go to the other world
and see how it can be?
So confused,
the girl wonders what to do.
Stuck between two worlds.
One that she loves
and the other a mystery.

-Mandy Bender

Deadly Kiss

In the midnight hour
I lie awake in my bed
Black light on me
and the sound of your voice
in my head.
Creating an image
of you that's so real
I reach out and your not there.

I'm dreaming of a kiss
a kiss that's so real
it frightens me
to think about
your lips touching mine
'Cause you've got a kiss
a kiss that's a deadly kind.

I wake up next morning
find you standing at my door
Ask you to come in
you say, "No, just stopping by."
You hand me a black rose
with a note hanging down
sealed with a kiss.

Oh I'm dreaming of a kiss
a kiss that's so real
it frightens me
to think about
your lips touching mine.
'Cause you've got a kiss
Oh you got a kiss
a kiss of the deadly kind.

Like a snake bite
you spread your
poison through me
make me all weak inside.
'Cause you gave me a kiss
and I got a passion
for you I can't hide.

I'm dreaming of a kiss
a kiss that's so real
it frightens me
to think about
your lips touching mine.
'Cause you've got a kiss
Oh you have a kiss
you have a kiss
of the deadly kind.

Will You Ever

Will you ever miss me by your side?
Why did you have to be such a good actor?
Why can't I realize your Love has died?
Was my deep need for affection the main factor?

Questions I ponder, replaying in my mind
How quickly you claimed your Love for me
I sensed a lie I would surely find
A dream too good, yet, could it truly be?

Oh, how I had longed for that precious feeling
Of having two arms holding me tight
Lone souls interwined forming one perfect being
Sharing laughter by day and passion at night

I thought I had found this blissful life
And compassion for a past I felt I must hide
Now my heart is slashed by a sweetened knife
Will you ever miss me by your side?

Lori

Hopes

I had such aspirations for the Love that we shared
Now my broken heart must yield to despair
The cherished dream of how much you cared
Is now nothing more than forelorn hope

I opened my heart with the least hesitation
As your lips spoke words of amorous bliss
Was my presumption of Love just a vain expectation
And your tender passion all been forsaken?

They say life goes on when Love is lost
And time is the healer of shattered hearts
Is your Love worth such a perfidious cost?
I'd yield in a moment if Love was still shared.

Why

How can Love be expressed to one it's not felt for?
Do they ever realize the hurt that word will cause?
A pledge of Love is only meant for the one you adore
It is an expression abounding in joy and said without pause.

Of course Love is never perfect
God never guaranteed it would be
Experiencing rough times we need to expect
But shining through, true Love we shall see

So how can such an emotion be tossed around
Used for the moment, then discarded like trash
As the victim believed that Love had been found
And the user moves on, so brazen and brash.

I Have Seen Love

I have seen love,
But wait and i can prove to you that i have seen love, maybe once or twice
its like a glimpse into another world.
A woman sitting by a grave lovingly cleanining it because in it is where her
husband lies a great man, but not perfect that would be a lie, but someone
who that woman will long for up until the day she dies.
Thats Love
Missing someone so much that just to hear their voice can bring a tear to you're
eyes.
Thats Love
Remembering fond memories od others, while life is passing by.
Holding a beautiful infant who you never thought would exist,an angel dropped
from heaven right into you're midst a feeling i can't describe, thats love
The unconditional kind
Standing over a grandparents grave, we all have our closing time,
but not understanding the fact that you'll never hug them again,
never ask them for advise
never just be there with them,
Knowing that they were always there was always a comfort was'nt it,
we take it for granted, until closing time, Thats harsh love,
The gut wrenching kind.
I have seen love
In a sunset over the horizon
In star on a bright starry night
In a cup of coffee
In music magic for the soul
In one or two people I can count on one hand, and a toe thrown in for good
measure.
In a laugh
In a sibling, who as children the war was on, but to this day if someone hurts
one of them I would be right there by their side no matter what.
Thats love the comforting kind.
I have felt love
When i look at my grandmothers old weathered face and she smiles that
know it all grin, man I love her.
Thats love the unforgettable kind.
When one of my brothers walkes up and justs hugs me for the hell of it and
swings me to hell and back,
You know thats love the neverending kind.
When my father who never really said I love you , He's not a very emotional guy
up until his father died, says i love you now,
I still don't trust sometimes, but I try for his sake i try.
Thats love the forgiving kind
When my mother loves me expecting nothing in return,
Thats love the patient kind
When i talk to a long lost friend who meant the world to me once,
I can remember, believe me I can, love lost is love gained
For each that walks away another remains.
A cozy sweater on a cold winter night
A beautiful glowing firelight
A good book
A soft bed, a 24 hour sleep, I love that.
Love thats been forsaken, have you ever had that,
Someone who truly loves you, but you just didn't love back,
I have felt that,
And when you turn around to say I love you back,
The person you want to say it to has already turned "their" back.
Missed love the regretable kind.
The its to late love, I have felt that, I'll say it tommorrow may never
come, God has his own plans when it comes to that.
See I have seen love, why should i lie,
I have seen love the ultimate kind.
So many versions, so many kinds
But if you feel one in a lifetime imagine the treasures you'll find
So promise,open you're eyes
And never be blind
Its like a glimpse into another world,
Some never find.

Curse on my Love
__________________
By: Samantha Lee Drake age 13

Someone has a curse on my love
Somehow I must rise above
above the black smoke dust and mist
searching for you my love,longing for your kiss
Throught the deep red breath of the dragons fire
I search for you my desire
Through the turning leaves of fall
I run , run to you but somehow I stall
Around me has formed an invisable wall
I can see you but can feel you
I can hear you but can not reach you
I fall to my scraped knees and fall to the ground
Then I hear my love say take a look around
In my life I been scorned
But somehow I have been reborn
And I will rise again
*****************************************************

"Distance"
I miss your laugh
the sound of your voice
I miss your eagerness to give advice
The eagerness you had to be there for me
I'd give up forever to have you in my life again.
The person that you were.
You've changed so much, and so have I
I can only move forward, and only look back
I miss your smile
The way you mad me laugh
I miss your encouragement
The way I felt I could do anything with you by my side.
You've stepped away, and out of my life now.
The only thing left is a distant memory
Because you're gone,and
I miss you

"Once Upon A Time"

Once upon a time
I was the light of your life, as you were mine
Once upon a time
All I had to do was think of you, and I'd smile
Once upon a time
You lifted me up off my feet when I was down
Once upon a time I loved you
Once upon a time I made a mistake.
Once upon a time I wished you'd forgive me
Because
Once upon a time you cared
Once upon a time you were my best friend
But we've gone our seperate ways, and are now apart
Maybe
Once upon a time, you'll learn to forgive

"Broken Hearted!"

You dont call me as much as you used to.
Is it because your love for me is no longer true?
This pain i feel cuts deep in my heart,
It feels as though it has been pierced with a dart.
Have you found another lover?
Someone who can love more than me?
Or is it the fact that its me that you dont want to see?
I once thought that my love for you was strong,
But yet again i have been proven wrong.
I sit and wonder why the pain hurts so much,
Is it because i am missing your warm and loving touch?
I always thought your love was to good to be true.
And all i have left is a broken heart in memory of you!!

Oblivion
By Bradley McDonald

The unthinkable splendor
of a rainbow's hue.
The fluorescent sun
in a sky so blue.
The grace of a swan
in a sparkling fountain.
Water cascading
down a distant mountain.
The unforgettable sights
that make the rough refined
are all but forgotten
when your hand touches mine.

If I could...
By Bradley McDonald

If I could bring back Eden
to call it your home
and harness the four winds
to make them your throne.

If I could provide peace
when storms rage in your head
and erase the memory
anytime your heart has bled.

If I could entice the stars
to serenade you at night
and persuade the moon
to caress you during fright.

If I could carry you away
when the ice becomes thin.
If I could build you a world,
would you love me then?

********************************************************

"You"

This won’t be the last time I’ll cry
But these are my last tears for you
I think it’s time I get on with my life
And realize that we’re through

This won’t be the last sad poem
Written in the middle of the night
But this is the last one about you
That I’m ever going to write

This won’t be the last sad sigh
I waste on someone who doesn’t love me
But never again will I try to act like
The girl I think you would want me to be

This won’t be the last slow dance with you
Or the last moment that had to end
But this is the last time I’ll wish
That you were more than just my friend

It’s time to face the fact
That we really are through
And I know I’ll lose my heart again
But never again to you.

********

"Maybe"

Maybe I’m kidding myself
To think that my dreams could come true
But maybe I’ve found what I need
And maybe I’ve found it in you

I don’t know much about you
But I feel like I’ve found a friend
Or maybe more, like what I’m searching for
Maybe my search has come to an end

Maybe you’re who I’ve waited for
I guess I have to wait and see
Maybe you’re not perfect
But you certainly are to me.

We start out our life
on the mighty rivers
some of us takers
some of us givers

Some times with love
some times with hate
one thing for sure
believing in fate

Some times we are happy
some times we are sad
always returning
to good times we had

and when we embark
to venture on shore
some finding love
some finding more

When it doesn' t workout
and we go back afloat
with our same simple life
just a different old boat

next time I stop
I hope what I see
is my beautiful angel
You, waiting for me.

A Book Of Love Spells

Buried beneath my grandmother's old silk gown
deep within an old cedar chest
scattered here and there
tiny charms
silver faerie queens
golden sea nymphs
castles of rhinestone and pewter

A crystal ball revealing misty images of young love
nights spent beside the sea
lovers kissing deep within coral caves

A deck of Tarot cards
wrapped in black lace
scented with French perfume
sensuous design
angels, knights and kings finding true love
dreamers flying above the stars
guided by the prayers of a mythical goddess

Buried beneath my grandmother's old silk gown
deep within an old cedar chest
a book of love spells
rose petals and ashes spilling out as I turn the pages

Words to Venus
only to be chanted during a full moon
a photograph of my grandfather
sealed within a white envelope
wedding vows written beneath
intricate hearts drawn
upon the flap
with an old quill pen

Buried beneath my grandmother's hopes
fears
dreams
passions
are the secrets of her magic
binding love that lasted a lifetime
granted to her
by prayers
to a mythical Goddess

Merlin's Box

Once there were secrets hidden beneath the floorboards
of my childhood room
only visible when all was dark and still

Romantic love letters
from a king to his queen
a red velvet heart scented with the fragrance
of roses that grew in Camelot
a magical charm once worn by the Lady of the Lake

Wrapped in black silk
filled with the magic of love
was Merlin's box
filled with a potion
that would cause white knights to turn and stare as I walked by
a spell of seduction inspiring brave men
to search the world for the Holy Grail
for my love
whispering my name as they rode into the mists of this passionate quest

This precious box
Once hidden beneath the floorboards
of my childhood room
was misplaced long ago
buried somewhere between reality
and the grownup world that I now occupy

But sometimes
when all is dark and still
I can feel the magic of Merlin's box
blending with the music of my heart

WRAPPED IN THE POET'S ARMS

I sit within a circle of pine trees
beyond the churchyard gates
The full Moon is shining through the lush green needles
Upon yonder hill is a cluster of standing stones
their meaning and magic so clear to me tonight

Wrapped in the poet's arms
my body is safe and warm
As he tells me tales of faerie women
I swear I see them dancing upon the church spire
Their skirts swirling
as the breeze gently picks them up
Their hair swaying
reflecting the light of the evening stars
Through the mist they bow and turn
in a celebration of our love

I sit within a circle of pine trees
my head resting upon the poet's shoulder
His dark hands cover mine
His lips brush my cheek
As he tells me tales of a mystic Goddess
I swear I see her within the Moon
Taking feline shape as a cloud passes by
Arching her back and leaping towards Venus

As I nestle deeper within the curve of the poet's arm
I hear the Goddess purring softly
in a celebration of our love

VOIDED EMPTINESS

When I'am Around you I feel my emptiness go,
I cherish what i have, Can I let Go?
I smile when you are near,
I'am so happy I may shed a tear.
I listen with every breath you take,
I don't think that this is a mistake!
When you smile and look at me I feel a warmth inside,
I think i almost cried!
The feelings that i have for you are endless,
Now I feel something gone..........The Emptiness!!
You unleashed the confidence that I possess,
And with that comes my Happiness!
All of this tied into one, which is you, I see.
This is all a part of why you complete me!

From the hot earth's thick crust,

The sun's been close today,

The evenings cool breezes,

Are beginning to push the heat away.

The western sky's vivid,

Red colors mixed with blues,

And the dark shadows,

Under the summer trees hiding,

The night life like a curtain.

Soon the frogs and the crickets,

And the locust will come to life,

Announcing their presence,

With their beautiful night sounds.

And into the night the stealth,

Of the hunters and the hunted,

Darting looks, stillness,

And quick movements,

And for some the end of the day.

Thoughts of You

By Paul Engelbrecht

When dawn breaks the night,

With her gentle smile,

And the sun's warmth,

Covers the earth with,

Her golden blanket,

There are thoughts of you,

For all the mysteries,

That this beautiful earth holds,

For all its natural beauty,

Her gorgeous mountains,

And thundering seas,

There are thoughts of you.

When beautiful and eloquent,

Words are written or read,

Proclaiming the goodness,

Of man or nature,

Or lowly beasts,

There are thoughts of you.

For in all that is written,

Of love and tenderness,

Of thoughtfulness,

And charity,

There are thoughts of you.

And when the night's,

Silver stars shine,

And the moon's soft light,

Covers the earth,

The thoughts come true.

I am with you.
