Here,
Let me wet
your quill
That's what
I call
a fresh
start
DJC May 5
What forces charge this pen of mine?
to set rare thoughts upon the line.
Warm feelings lost or bound in tight,
set on a shelf and out of sight.
What drives this need of mine to share,
to bare my soul with laissez faire
Could it be, for once, no fear,
Its love's faint echo that I hear.

My eager heart and cautious mind,
Engage in fights for dreams refined,
A constant battle, thru day and night
But alas, for me, no truce in sight.
Small pleasures, won with joyful might,
by parting's sting, are put to flight.
How can one's heart restore its flame?
On merely the whisper of your name.

A sweet surrender lies on me now,
when your tender kisses caress my brow.
Your honeyed voice, its gentle plea,
your softest touch reserved for me.
My search for awe, at last renewed,
having found in you, an unlikely muse.
A friend, a lover, my ever near
Who's soul and spirit, I hold so dear.

My pen, once grounded, soars in flight.
to boast of feelings brought to light
Your eyes, a blue-gray vibrant hue,
a smile, that makes all skies feel blue,
Your poise and grace, seem heaven blessed,
have stoked a fire within my chest.
My eyes can't hide my heart's true plea,
As our bodies entwine with such chemistry.

When love transforms what lust once made,
to a thing so pure, no man would trade.
The cloak that hid my heart's true beat,
is thrown aside, my soul complete.
What moved my pen, what made it leap?
True affection from my 'someone to keep',
Its you, my dear, I say in my softest tone,
you're the greatest love, I've ever known.

O~ captain, captain!
Here comes the awakening of the summer,
And also, mon sommeil as a voyager.
Like clouds my mind is dashing,
And my eyes will forever rain.
A storm of thoughts ever flashing,
With dreams, both in joy and in pain.

Thunderous sounds within the mists,
As each droplet holds a tale untold,
A torrent of feelings that twists,
Every tear contains my story, true and bold.

Through this downpour is my journey made,
Between the storm, a hope always remains,
A flood of emotions, both light and shade,
Washing away my heart's hidden stains.

Let this rain in my mind's wild flight,
For in the clouds my tears' refrain,
Cleanse my soul and bring forth light,
A new beginning and a new chance to gain.

Insatiable colored eyes
— inveigle, beguile —
let me tempt you a while.

Between first light
and the breezy part of afternoon
it will dawn upon you soon.

This was an encounter
of convenience
— solicitor's propinquity —
the price paid was your obedience.

Your independence day
tossed your children away,
into deep dark waters of misery
we were immersed.
Arii Mar 9
I know the end;
like the harsh shine of the sun,
and the soft glow of the moon.
One comes around,
and the other turns away.
Like a grand finale,

into a fresh, new start.

I know the end;
like coastal waters.
Rushing to the shore
and drifting away,
bringing when it returns

cold tsunami, or gentle wave.

I know the end;
like a distant friend
that laughs over the phone,

sometimes you never meet again.

I know the end,
it’s closer than one can see.

But after the end,


comes a new beginning.
Lalit Kumar Feb 25
A glance, a spark, a fleeting chance,
Two souls colliding in a passing dance.
Familiar yet unknown, strange yet warm,
A love unnamed, yet taking form.

Yesterday
The streets were wider
Now they're narrow
I would go
To the place of mystery
Is gone

Truths revealed
The wide-eyed wonder
Of a child has seen
Into the eyes
Of that distant dream
I had dreamt
The visions
Of a peaceful life

I live
The remnants
Of that child's
Dreams come true

Take my hand
And take my feet
On the paths
That no one
Has tread before
No one knows the pain
That dreamer's feel

I cross these rivers
Deep and wide
I search through
Valleys deep and wide
The other side starts
Where each new day begins

Now today
I will walk the streets
Of yesterday have passed
Into a new beginning
Is in what I see

From the bridges
On the rivers
That flow from yesterday
It's clear
That I am dreaming
My reality

Dreams are real
Make them happen
As a child
Plays the games
That are reality
At any age.

Come sit with me by the fire
Take in the glow and warmth
The lights are low and the night is young
Time for a chat, a look back
The mood is fine and all is divine
Sit back, relax, and ease your mind
Let's pause and now rewind the time
To replay the moments: highs and lows
Looking at some decisions you chose

Come sit with me for a little while
Come close and let me hold you child
The storm outside is full of fury and sound
But in here you are on safe solid ground

Come sit with me for a moment or two
In this space, it's just me and you
Let me tell you a story from many years ago
A tale of love and honor suffering and glory
But there is something else you must know
It is as yet unfinished even to this day
Still, it remains the Life, the Truth, the Way

It begins at the beginning the first husband and wife
Everything was perfect and they knew no strife
They walked freely with God in complete honesty
And all the world was blessed in perfect harmony
Possibly unfinished with room for more, but this was all I had written at the time
