crackles and snaps
in the distance sky
while other animals
are afraid of
interrupting or distruding
the lions sweet dreams and
no one to fear in his kingdon

We Sail Alone

power is
an afrodesiac
that we consume
thus absolute power
corrupts and seduces
pharoahs and kings
to crush their enemies but
land and soverienty
we shall own
these things
the wise kings
ask for wisdom
to keep
their throwns and
fulfill their
reigns and promises
to rule
their kingdoms
succeed in victory
or perish
their domains
that shall
be done nor
life or death
stand alone but
real power
shall make
things happen
in this world
we sail alone

A Covenant With A Poem
Stu Harley Jan 2013
Dear Lord, how can I connect with this poem and make it my own?

Does it need new wings to soar like an eagle in the sky? Should it sing in the halls of cathedrals, bridging the gap between the spiritual and physical worlds? Or should it take root in my heart and grow strong and vibrant?

May these spiritual words flow through a beating heart and a gentle hand, finding their way onto the page. Let us make a covenant with this poem to bring it to life and share its message with others.
take root, growing strong and
vibrant, or, should it be ripe
and ready for harvest?  
  
So, let these spiritual words  
flow through a beating heart,  
a gentle hand and sacred pen.

thus to make a covenant with thee.

Sweet Blue Rain
Stu Harley Feb 2013
One day, if I could open my eyes
and watch you walk through
the sweet blue rain, and
wash those tears away.

If I could open up my eyes, and
watch you wear those same
cotton blue jeans with that
cute white blouse, and
tell those cotton candy clouds
to splash sweet blue rain,
into your heart

The fresh scent
of sweet blue rain
bring April showers, and
flowers sell in the marketplace.

Well, a funny thing happened this Sunday,
on our walk through Palomino Park;
I noticed some things that you do
with your sweet blue smile.

Loving you may take some time.
Let’s take a walk again
and fill an empty heart,
with sweet blue rain.
