Eyes Have.....

This is a poem I wrote the first year of my blog in 2005. Thought I'd share some of my older poems from the first year I started my blog...since I've not time to post or write new ones right now....I hope you'll enjoy some of my older poems I will be posting for some of you that have maybe not been around to have read them. Hope you enjoy this one. I drew the eye also. I love drawing eyes...been doing that since I was just a child sitting in school in class drawing eyes all over my notebook pages..:o)

Eyes have shut

and blocked you out

Eyes have opened

and seen nothing but doubt 

Eyes have cried tears

never knowing where to start 

Eyes have looked through a soul 

and its broken heart

Eyes have looked away 

with nothing to say

Eyes have softly closed the door

and run away

Eyes have expressed words

through shadows of despair

Eyes have hid in a room 

empty and bare 

Eyes have flooded with pain

and sorrow all the while 

Eyes have been cleansed through a tear

so clear......

Nights Companion...Memories from the past..

Here's a poem from the past I wrote. 

Nights Companion

I've seen the distance of the stars

Yet I've seen they are so close 

minds eye cries with tears

following behind your smile

that travels to your soul.......

Unknown upon your untouched shores that come in with the tide

Gravity pulls in the passion

that you try so hard to hide....

I've seen the distance of the stars

and yet they are so close

they are within your heart your touch

 your distant smile.....

I've seen the distance of the stars

and yet they are so close

With streaming ribbons tied up in bows

that wrap you up in splendor

and the luster of nights companion

Freeze frame this moment...

Freeze frame this moment


Sometimes I find those most profound thoughts
that enter my mind
begin in early dawn
Those free phrase words
that flow through my fingers
from pen to paper
with curtains drawn
Freeze frame this moment
for a stargazer
who's been closed in for the night
as dawn spreads her light....

On Climate change, what's happening to our planet now, these specific lyrics from the doors "When the Music's over" keep coming to my mind

 What have they done to the Earth?

What have they done to our fair sister?

Ravaged and plundered

and ripped her and bit her

Stuck her with knives

in the side of the dawn

And tied her with fences

And dragged her down....

Lyrics from "When the Music's over" by the doors.
