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.

Cinderella of the Underworld...



A ruined King
in castles to keep
in the Kingdom
Fatherhood weak
in the Kingdom
Father weeps
never protected the child
from Queenmother
in the Kingdom
of castles to keep...
child now a Lady
the Lady seeks
the Lady weeps.

The Queenmother with naked lies
tried to destroy the life
of the child she despised
evil and blood
is on her hands..

Sisters false judgements
with scarlett swords
always drawn...

But ancient wisdom
see's...
and knows...
the Lady with the soul
ancient wisdom
will make the lady whole..

Gate keeper standing guard
at the castle...
The Knight arrives
on a dragon
breathing deadly fire
licking flames
that dart through the night
and destroy all light...

The lady arises
from the ruined Kingdom
knowing she must survive
she must protect herself
to stay alive
from the kingdom
of castles that keep
the Lady knows
the Lady weeps
and then descends
into the Goddess world
that never ends
with buried treasures
of the soul
kept in the underworld
buried treasures
to make the Lady whole
again...
she now arrives
no longer
a Lady in waiting..

Deep waters beckon to her
showing her the way
she is free now
free
from the ruined Kingdom
no longer a castle to be kept
The Lady of the Lake
anticipating
floating
into the mist
finding her way
to Emancipation.

*This poem writing probably makes no sense to most
of you, because it's just a cathartic personal "purging"
I'm going through right now and need to release.
