Dreams Do Show

.

“All days are nights

to see till I see thee,

And nights bright days

when dreams do show

thee me.”

music

mathematically perfect

instruments unique sounds

what do you hear

euphony

Haiku:

.

as front follows front

cyclical weather patterns

hot cold rain hot cold

Poem:

why is love such a common poetic theme ? ? ?
because love is such a hard thing to describe
philosophers go to great lengths to prescribe
but poets can explain the word in a dream

analogies, metaphors swiftly drip from the poet’s  pen
feelings physical, emotional and spiritual
mixed and matched with words lyrical
learned on the laps of the mothers of men

love is in the mind of the beholder
sensations essential to a time and place
objects or persons which we cannot efface
sentiments that grow stronger as they become older

thank you Shakespeare for the sonnet
for the purist it is truly mnemonic

in the very heart of poetry

.

“How they had dreamed

together,

he and she…

how they had planned,

and laughed, and loved.

They had lived for a while

in the very heart of poetry.”

beat

pulsating rhythm

without a murmur

physical, emotional, mental, spiritual

heart

Haiku:

Jack Frost almost bit

the sun warmed earth held its ground

spring flowers blooming

Poem:

.

the journey with no destination
growing and learning along the way
the soul exists in every location
the mind creates home and away

where am I really
when I think I am lost
comfortable and contented ideally
normal is akin to being star crossed

today is a luxury I must not lose
the moments to savor and relish
doing God’s will I cannot refuse
avoiding the self centered and selfish

today I will live in the present
lessons from the past not forgotten
avoiding the issues of discontent
joys and pleasures to enlighten

gratitude for a mind that is free
and to have lived in the heart of poetry
