Magenta Rose

Magenta Rose and tulips fine

Blossoms bright in the suns morning shine

Now homeward bound over sand and sea

To the dewy petals forever haunting me

~

Magenta Rose and two lips fine

If your bed awaits please give me a sign

Darkness blankets all other blank faces

Till numbing gales scatter their traces

~

Magenta Rose with two lips fine

I’ve longed to make those two lips mine

Magenta Rose may I help your garden thrive

Where two lips pressed will make our blooms alive

Book of Dreams

Rhymesalot's avatarrhymesalot

A page from my book of dreams;

a tale of love, or so it seems.

I wake each day the dream doesn’t end.

Will she ever love me or shall I just pretend?

Technicolor visions and her scent in the air

Awaken from this dream I could never dare.

Her touch always welcome on my trembling skin.

When she says she loves me, my life will then begin.

Encounters of the flesh, too few to ever last.

Music of her voice now echoes of the past.

Sunlit voids surround were daylight once was bright.

Now only darkness brightens our rendezvouses of night.

The End

Can Do?

Can we love something never seen

Can we see a place we’ve never been

Can we hear a voice never spoken

Can we feel a heart never broken

 ~

Do we breathe just to survive

Do we work for what we strive

Do we climb to take the dive

Do we love to be alive

 ~

Can we answer when unaware

Do we question what we share

Can we do all we plan

Do we do all we can

???

All’s Just

A rose is just a rose

When methodically it’s chose

Yet a rose is so much more

When a surprise left at your door

 *

A kiss is just a kiss

When given hit or miss

Though a kiss is so much more

When from who you adore

 *

A life is just a life

When hiding from others strife

But life is so much more

When one finds what life is for

 *

And death is just death

When we take a final breath

Or a life forever more

When we’ve left an open door

The Mothers Way

Happy Mothers day

Rhymesalot's avatarrhymesalot

Cradles all her precious kin

Judges not, where life begins

Cherished breast nurture space

Moving forward her many race

 .

One side day the other night

One side dark the other light

Sheds cool and rain, heat and snow

Her orbits share all else to know

 .

Oceans deep, skies bright

Growing all, her suns might

She frees to wander, endless whys

Her moons revolve before her eyes

 .

Dancing tides flowing minds

Infinite movement never binds

In this universe family all are we

This milky galaxy our mother be

The End

Trying Times

I tried to pen a beautiful rhyme

But I cried most every time

I’ve tried to write a love song

But the notes all came out wrong

 .

I tried to bake a birthday cake

All I got was a burnt mistake

I’ve tried to pick you wild flowers

Till’ the bees rained down like spring showers

 .

I try to say I love you,

each and everyday

I’ll try again tomorrow,

when the pain’s gone away

Thank You Friend

Thank you friend for sharing with me

Your warmth and laughter and all there’s to see

 .

You’ve come into my heart, made me look inside

You’ve made me realize what I’ve always been denied

A new emotion now exposed, feelings I can’t hide

 .

It’s a feeling that is new, a feeling that is true

This feeling is love and I’m sure it’s for you

This love for you so hard to contain

Though resist I must to cause you no pain

 .

I know of your love once had, now gone

I know of your tears and how each day you mourn

This pain you carry and cannot ignore

Time and friends, the only cure

 .

Please let me help and be a friend

Together we’ll make all this hurt end

We can speak of the future or yesterday

We can chat under moonlight or whisper by the bay

 .

Thank you friend for sharing with me

Your warmth, laughter and all life can be

For all you’ve done, I’m indebted to you

How to repay, I have no clue

.

I owe you my life, I owe you my love

I owe you the stars and moon above

I owe you more than I can give, regardless of expense

Thank you friend for these feelings so intense

 .

I owe you most the time and space that you need

For you I must comply, despite my wants and greed

Together we’ll let time and fate take its natural course

We’ll share another day free of remorse

.

We can talk of the future or yesterday

We can chat under moonlight or whisper by the bay

We can run through the rain or stroll in the park

We can sit on a beach or share secrets in the dark

 .

While lovers may come, lovers may go

We’ll be good friends always, this I know

Yes, to you I give my thanks, my friend

And my love for you that will never end

My silent alarm, works every day.

Dreams of coffee wafting my way.

I get up quick to make water hot.

Then longingly watch the drips in the pot.

.

When half way full the process proceeds.

The quest begins for the rest of my needs,

A big cup, of course, some sugar and cream.

And something to stir a new coffee dream.

 .

My brew perks away then perks me up.

There’s nothing better than a second cup.

To sip and to savor and share the sunrise.

The beauty’s doubled with wide open eyes.

 .

I think it’s the drink I drink the most,

Columbian, Sumatra or a dark French Roast.

Whole-bean or ground, instant or drip,

They all taste great from the very first sip.

.

Winter hands on a hot mug are nice.

In the summer it’s refreshing with ice,

Or a flavorful syrup or tasty ice cream.

Everyone Loves a Fairy Tale

His dragon nurtured, best he could

His spoken word not understood

Yet the Prince’s dragon could always tell

When the Prince wasn’t feeling well

 ~

They cared for each other, had no fear

Though most aren’t Princes, dragons rare

We all need something that makes life clear

Words unimportant when souls we share

YEAH!

yeah

Congratulations one and all

No task too big or job too small

Made a movie, made a play

Now’s time for graduation day

Three years past, mastered the rage

All the world’s now your stage

Share your craft, design, create

Dues were paid – go be great!

Time for Time-Out

Time for time-out, it’ll end soon.

Dug in the yard with mom’s good spoon.

She’s had it since her wedding day.

Used just for holidays, not play.

`

I said that it was shaped just right,

to dig a trench where armies can fight.

Needs to be deep but not too wide.

Had to dig fast so they can hide.

`

Buried far down just like a tomb.

Guarding treasure found in your room.

Found in a box high on a chest.

It’s the booty pirates like best.

`

I must protect those shiny things:

chains, charms, bracelets, baubles and rings.

Hid them good, remembered the map.

But then forgot after my nap.

`

To help me dig I found a pet.

The best digger there is I’ll bet.

Finished our yard then went next door.

Found nothing, ran off to dig more.

`

Chased our cat high up in the tree.

Grandma called the police for me.

Her nurse had to help make the call.

The police came, that’s not all.

`

While chasing his dog that I found,

the man fell from holes in the ground.

He said he’ll sue, just wait and see.

I said it was his dog, not me.

`

His face was red, limping away.

But grandma’s heart will be okay.

And I have some more good news.

While digging today, I wore no shoes.

`

They’re nice and clean and tucked away.

I’ll try no pants some other day.

Though mess was made with my bare feet,

I cleaned it up with hose and sheet.

`

Pushed all the water out the door.

Then to your room, I cleaned some more.

Too bad the hose didn’t quite reach.

I luckily then found the bleach.

`

You’ll smile when you turn on the light.

I know you like things clean and white,

with spots of color here and there.

You’ll surely hug your little dear.

`

I’m glad you’re home early today.

Don’t believe what the neighbors say.

The rescue came, Dad’s all right.

Not much pain, he’ll wake by tonight.

`

Go to the doctor, I’ll just wait.

I’ll be good and won’t stay up late.

I missed lunch; I’ll make us a snack.

Fix the chair dad broke with his back.

`

He climbed too high to find his keys,

lost his balance from wobbly knees.

I found some socks to wrap dad’s head.

Then found soldiers under my bed.

`

Recalled the mission to be done.

Ran downstairs to start the fun.

Found no spoons not already bent.

But then found yours and out I went.

`

And that’s where my story began.

Now come sit close mom, hold my hand.

I know that time-outs hurt you too.

But when it’s done I’ll still love you.

 

The End

Today’s Tomorrows Yesterday

Once upon a time,
I thought I heard you say.
That for all our time,
you’ll love me everyday.

~

It was a special time,
seems now like yesterday
Sharing endless time,
but now my world’s gone gray.

~

I fell behind killing time,
today alone I lay.
You said I was wasting time,
begging you to stay.

~

My face slapped by hands of time,
and your heart now gone astray.
Why must “Once upon a time”
always end this way?

Love Loving You

I don’t like bugs and I don’t like snakes.
I despise non-chocolate birthday cakes.
I don’t like deserts nor frozen lakes.
I enjoy the fall, hate the rakes.

~

I prefer the old to the new.
I don’t like laces in my shoe.
I don’t like doing what I don’t love to.
But surely I do love loving you.

Mind Over Maturity

Whilst all the young may have youth,
not all the youthful young.
Youth’s not measured by our age,
or the passions we engage.

~

It’s not about time at all,
or being big or being small.
It’s not a question of maturity,
rock star travel or annuity.

~

It’s the way we feel and perceive,
of life’s fascinations to conceive,
hopes, dreams and wishes to believe,
it’s how we love and how we grieve.

~

A youthful heart’s quick to mend,
quick to receive, give and lend.
Wonders abound in youthful eyes,
birds soar higher in bluer skies.

`

Yet youth is stolen by the fiendish lie,
That getting older is preparing to die.
