The Best Part
Wendell A Brown May 2015
Love help me go to sleep last night
She made my dreams peaceful and sweet
She caused laughter in my heart to rise
Leaving memories for my heart to keep

Her love awoken me this morning
With a smile that's one of a kind
It embraced me with such a warmth
I was proud that her love is mine

And love sent me on my way today
Off into this world’s daily grind
In her heart her eyes were on me
As she thought of me all the time

At the end of the day while tired
Love found the time to lift my heart
For she kissed me twice upon my lips
For this time of day is her best part.

Rhapsody
Wendell A Brown Apr 2014
An interlude, quiet
Soft and lovely,
Full of a tender smile, yet
So much a part of life’s
Hidden joys

A magical essence that
Is lost yet found at the
Same moment in your smile.
And the magic prevails even
Against the night

…for you far outshine the
stars and the moon

A revolution goes on
Constantly within your
Eyes, causing a fire to
Daily rage

And its spark sets fire
To every living essence
Within me, and I know
That I love you

Realizing  my life’s song is
A tribute to your never
Ceasing devotion,  making
Its melody of love…

A rhapsody to my heart.
A song of love

First Meeting
Wendell A Brown Apr 2014
I always thought nothing could hurt me
Yet your smile kills me softly each day
It tears my heart apart completely
As my thoughts it just sweeps away

It leaves me like a puppy in the window
like the one waiting to be claimed
Hoping that you will turn and notice me
Maybe even wanting to learn my name

For the feeling that overwhelms me
Is one I have learned to know so well
It's an overwhelming passionate emotion
That causes the breath in my chest to fail

For it’s been that way since I first saw you
How these sweeping feelings came over me
And though our lips had never spoken a word
There was born within a strong need to be

I mean a need to feel the tender warmth
That only exists in your embracing arms
Entangled in silent  moments of bliss
That leave the walls deep in a heart so warm

Yes I thought nothing could ever hurt me
Yet your smile kills me softly each day
It tears my longing heart apart completely
As every thought in my mind it sweeps away.
A genuine beginning

OUR HEARTS TREASURE CHEST
Wendell A Brown Jan 2017
The many moments we spend together
Shall never find themselves replaced
Each second we will find it to be true
From our hearts, they will never escape

All the moments are securely deposited
In their beautiful entirety each day
Like the memory banks of our computers
To replay over again while one is away

Being away from the other brings sadness
Making the hours of a day seem like years
And it’s during those times we are apart
We might even find we shed lonely tears

For in this world, we can never be assured
How long the time we have together might be
The moment might come when we’re left alone
With only a closet full of tender memories

Let’s choose to live our lives to the fullest
Never letting a moment of time to slip away
Without placing a lovely image of our true love
Deep inside our hearts treasure chest to stay.
We should always seek to embrace lasting memories in our lives each day, especially with those whom we share unconditional and genuine love!

Moonride
Wendell A Brown May 2014
Ride with me where the stars are
Touch port upon the moon
Stretch out into the Milky Way
And in love please fall very soon

Let’s sprinkle dearest into your eyes
The stars that share our night
As we journey into the darkness
So we may use them as our light

Let’s cast aside our dreams tonight
And give life to the products of our thoughts
Let’s make the time become so right
For these sincere moments we have caught

Let’s feel the love that’s brighter
And much higher than the stars
Let’s ride beams up to the heavens
Up past where the angels are

Let’s ride to where sweet heaven begins
And in love let’s fall very soon
And stretch out into the Milky Way
On our love ride beyond the moon.
Written in 1977 April - May  two weeks after meeting my wife to be!

Without You
Wendell A Brown May 2014
Where can I go
to hide from
this image of love
that haunts me?

For even at night
when I lay down
to sleep, as my eyes
close I see your
smile…

When I am not
near you, the hunger
becomes much too
unbearable…

And when you are near
to me, I want to hold
you so very close, even
to the point of feeling
our hearts beating...
together as one

For I have become
overwhelmed by this
sweet love with its
enduring strength to
bind a willing slave
to its powers

And I know that my life
could never be happy
without you always by my
side.
When I first met my wife in April 1977, we stayed in separate dormitories, men with men, and women with women in the Air Force, we married June 24 of that same year...it will be 37 years  this June, love at first sight does happen

A Thought Of You
Wendell A Brown Aug 2014
A thought of You blossoms inside of my mind
flowering its senses with sweet tastes of bliss
Drowning me with so many furious emotions and joys
of a genuine want and need to share Your happiness

Yes, a thought of You cries out from deep within
for another chance to begin a new wonderful day
In which my feelings can begin lovingly to express
the exquisite thoughts my heart has longed to say

For inside my mind each new day comes to life
a persistent energy which never falters or dies
A living organism growing, breathing, responding
to heavens creative essence which dwells inside

You are the loveliness of all my thoughts and dreams
the sweetness which flows gracefully from my heart
Your love is more priceless and so sorely needed
I pray each day from my life Lord, it won't depart.

Written From The Soul
Wendell A Brown Jul 2014
Their words lovingly make a daily appearance
With a new days birth they seem to find a way
Quite like a tremendously beautiful flower
Bringing many gorgeous smiles to life each day

It matters not which heart gives them life breath
Or whose selfless spirit makes them radiantly smile
Their priceless messages are embraced lovingly by many
As within each one you will find a love worthwhile

A daily love which generates an awesome true beauty
A unique one which will stand the test of time
And whether each writer/poet believes it to be true
Their words will age wonderfully like a fine wine

For God has blessed everyone with a taste of bliss
Of His delightfully joyous creative touch divine
And He will allow His sweet happiness to stay
As long as we praise Him in our hearts and minds.
For my friend and sister...Silent Fingers,
who made me smile today with her
spiritual hug and smile

Inspiring
Wendell A Brown Apr 2014
My heart opens up to you each night
Resting peacefully as I fall asleep
Finding my spirit sleeping without fear
For within your grace I rest so deep

I feel the nourishment of your love
And the healing power of your touch
As my mind gently begins to dream
It is of you Lord,  I dream so much

You are the breath which fills me
The radiant sun I see alive within
For as I dream so faithfully of you
I find the life in my words to begin

I see them floating inside my mind
Seeing them softly embrace my soul
And even though I am sound asleep
Their embrace shall never let me go

For the gift Lord, which you gave to me
In my daily life never comes to an end
Because each night when I close my eyes
Your love inspires the words to begin

Lord, I know that I have infinite reasons
To humbly send songs of praise your way
For you are the genuine sweet nourishment
Which feeds my mind and heart each  day
A prayer of thanks

Three Joined Together
Wendell A Brown Apr 2014
An angel came to my world with a message
Holding a perfect triangle in His hand
He asked me if I knew why he carried it
I laughed at him thinking such a crazy man

He placed it down on a piece of paper
Beginning to trace all of its shared lines
And as the image came together so complete
He then asked of me to open up my mind

He explained how its adjoining three points
All share equally the same space in between
He went on to ask me this single question
If I truly understood what it really means

He went on to say how it truly displays
In such a very special and wholesome way
A wonderful side of pure spiritual wisdom
Which many alive fail to embrace each day

The top point of the triangle sit’s our God
With His glory, grace, forgiveness and love
But the two lines which went away from Him
Went to the two creations He was most proud of

The third line reflects Gods strong foundation
A shelter when needing guidance the two would be
But here in the triangle they would be connected
Saying this is the way our lives should truly be.

If as a man you turn your head away from God
You cannot hide away anything you might do
As you are connected to both God and your wife
He shall see and feel all you might plan to do

It is the same for the wife as with her husband
If she ever for some reason chooses to turn away
God will see any paths which she also might take
And nothing would be hidden from Him in any way

The point of the message which he shared with me
Was to help me understand where my heart should stay
He said look at the connecting lines in your life
Sharing and depending will bless your lives each day

For God will love and embrace you both all the time
With His blossoming love in so many beautiful ways
And His blessings will always nourish your lives daily
When in this threefold embrace of love you both stay.

Never mistreat each other a single day in your lives
Treat and love the other as you would love yourself
And when God looks daily upon your steps each day
Your hearts will never in his eyes leave any doubt.
A message of guidance written June 1977

Always Stays
Wendell A Brown Apr 2014
Build up your treasure
in heaven, with riches
that never fade

Reach out for the
greater things in life,
whose origins only
in heaven lay

Hunger for the spiritual
things, those special
gifts from up above

And my God will
reward you aplenty,
with all the fullness
of His love

Lift the Lord Jesus up
on high, for He  loves
to hear your praise

And keep His love
which is so special
deep within your
heart always

Long for the treasure
found in heaven
deeply craving it
night and day

For the place where
your treasure really
lies, is where your
heart will surely stay.

Because Of You
Wendell A Brown Jun 2014
Because of you my heart sings
a song much sweeter than the
lark which makes its home in
the meadow...

I smile because of the faith
that I found you did reward
me with which makes me see
those things I would not...

My happiness is shown to all
through the feelings which
find life in finely inked
words of praise to you alone

And as Your glow adorns my  
my face each morning I rise
to a crescendo of many lovely
moments and heavenly sounds

Where I find the radiance in
your life light which I share
with you far outshines the
brightest star which lights
your heavenly kingdom.

My Love For You
Wendell A Brown May 2014
With eagerness of heart
I shall wait on you and
My heart shall embrace
Your love while my lips
Drink joyfully its nectar

And I will eat until full
At your table because
Everything is yours and
Blessed with many spiritual
Delights

Even in the darkness of night
I am wrapped in the radiance
Of your love as its glow fills
My spirit with its beauty and
Truth

When you arrive before me
I shall wipe your feet and
Anoint your head with the
Most precious of oils and
I will bring out a better
Meal than yesterday

And I shall wait on you always
Serving with an eagerness of
Heart full of a most splendid
Love from deep within where its
Well is made full each day

And I will sing praises to your
Name for you are my dearest
Treasure, my precious pearl  
Of such great worth, the life
Force whose strength shall bring
Alive in my spirit a peaceful rest


For your mere presence will cover
Me erasing any fear or doubt which
my heart has ever embraced for I
Shall be forever safe within your
Grace and love

You are the greatest blessing in my
Life, a jewel whose beauty will never
Diminish always filling my heart with
A genuine love for you.

He Will Always Be Near
Wendell A Brown May 2017
My world was touched by his hand
And its loneliness was chased away
Into my world entered such happiness
And a greater need for his love to stay

He taught me to love all of mankind
Also to love His father first of all
Promising me if I did all these things
Never hard would ever be my fall

He filled my heart with a believing faith
Which he promised I could always keep
He told me not to ever  doubt again
As he would always be on call for me

He gave to me many sweet treasures
That to others he allowed me to share
He promised that even while I slept
That his love would always be near.

His Sweet Name
Wendell A Brown May 2014
Within us there is a world unseen
Where young spirits seek to know
The voices they begin to hear each day
As their passion for life now grows

They will begin to make tough choices
As the voices within become alive
Leaving them to seriously ponder daily
Which choice, might be wrong or right

For everything they attempt each day to do
Along with the choices their hearts will make
Will deeply affect the life road they choose
And within, their  spirits will now be at stake

Inside the  voices strive for dominance
Like two hungry wolves over a tasty meal
And of the two available choices in life
One gives a blessing while the other kills

So we must always be so very cognizant
Of the choices each day which are made
So when the end time appears in our lives
By believing in His name we will be saved.
The words to this poem came to life while deeply praying, its message I think is awesome!
Wendell A Brown Jan 2017
Your living words are life to me
They provide the air I daily breathe
They are the bliss filling my heart
The eternal love of which I dream

Oh Lord, you are my truest treasure
The song my heart daily seeks to sing
My love exists to praise you only
For the happiness your spirit brings

I shall never look away from you
Nor your love will I ever forsake
In your shadow, I will walk gladly
With each step in life, I daily take

The whole of me will humbly serve you
Each day my soul is allowed to live
And I will never forget your blessing
When you spoke the words...I forgive.
A relationship with God is needed to bring peace and spiritual nourishment in ones life!

Within your alluring smile as
You softly gaze my way

Locks itself deeply in every
Dream my mind has while never
Wanting to ever go away

That I can only lay claim to a
Special hope the loveliness of
Your smile will now always stay.

The One I Do Think Of
Wendell A Brown May 2014
So blissful is the morning
When in my ears are heard
The songs

Which are sung by angels
Up above as they
Awaken with the dawn

Going on their appointed
Duties to make a day
Become so alive

With the love of the
Eternal One who dwells
Up in the sky

The flowers open wide
This day, with their beauty
Giving Him praise

The birds majestically
Spread their wings in prayer
Dancing as they spiritedly
Fly on their way

And the sun so bright
Mightily awakens and
Truly shines his very best

For he knows the Lord
Is deserving of his praise
And he will never
Deliver anything less

So blissful is this
Wondrous day which
Is so alive with our
God’s great love

That I am just
Like all the others
For He alone each day
I think of.


'Thank You Lord, for the gift blessing  
I could never repay, of another year of life

This Perfect Day
Wendell A Brown Apr 2014
Friday had been the saddest day
That my young life has ever known
The loneliness which my heart-felt
Just would not leave me alone

The clouds which filled the afternoon
With their darkness and their dread
Left remorseful feelings alive inside
Along with emotions which seemed dead

As the sun rose this morning I awakened
Finding the moment still haunting my dreams
With its sadness and gloom embracing me
I searched to find joy in most anything  

From what my eyes had seen to transpire
On that sad, dark Friday afternoon
So I began to pray what had been written
Would come to fruition so very soon

As the last twenty-four hours ticked away
The hope in my heart slowly began to rise
Beginning to beat with a steady rhythm within
Waiting for the prophesied moment to arrive

I saw many in the room praying around me
How their faith began to slowly slip away
Not believing what was soon to come about
Would surely inspire a stronger faith today

My heart anxiously awaited the moment to come
Anticipating the new joy it would soon receive
As I felt the lifting soft touch of the Holy spirit
I could feel my faith growing deep inside of me

My ears heard so many captivating melodies
Embracing me from the direction of His tomb
And upon hearing the hearty voices of angels
I sensed my Savior would be coming back soon

As we were kissed by a beautiful dawning
A genuine happiness swept my sadness away
As my Lord replaced it with a lasting bliss
While rising to life on this perfect day.

A Better Love
Wendell A Brown Apr 2014
Every moment of a
sunset is pleasingly
different, as is my
love for only You

Every moment of life
which passes by, are
full of seconds of
change its true

But unlike some things
which could possibly
change from better into
something worse

His love will never
lose it value but
will steadily grow
in its priceless worth

For even if it changes
each day, the tender
warmth of His love
remains the same

And because He cares for
every one of us, it will
cleanse many hearts of
their pain

The strength of His
love lies in spiritual
power, a holy essence
which will never fade

His love is powerful
in its nature, which when
received in our hearts
will always stay

...for He is eternal love.

Praises From My Heart
Wendell A Brown Apr 2014
You press me each day to be much better
Much more than what I was only yesterday
And when it seems my heart might falter
Because of my need for You I kneel and pray

You only want the very best for me Lord
Wanting to make me spiritually strong
So one day when I put on my priestly robes
I may not do a single thing that’s wrong

You love me daily with a Fathers Love
And so deep and full is what You give
And as someone who knows their Fathers will
No blessings from me have You ever hid

You lift me up on high so often lord
Causing within my heart to be born sweet praise
Transcending words which find a lovely home
In your presence my Lord every day
Praising God for a new beginning each day

An Eternal Valentine
Wendell A Brown Apr 2014
You were with me in a spiritual time
Before I was born into the flesh
Long before I took my first breath
You were a part of my life then
The best part of my soul and spirit
The deepest part of my...Heart

When I was young
There was always emptiness
That could not be filled within its walls
Because I was gone from your side
And the happiness I once knew

When I became a teenager
I would dream about
The missing essence of love
The missing part of my heart
You alone would abundantly fill
One day with your love

When I became an adult
There was nothing that would make me feel
More exuberant or tantalizing than
The dream vision of you
That let me know my heart would be full
Once again in time

Then we met…
I heard the calling of your voice
As it embraced my name and heart again
Allowing me to know that quiet heavenly hymn
From my past shared with you
Before I was born into this world

Once again, I felt the sincerity and deepened wholeness
Never seen by human eyes before
The best of love only God could create for...
He made us to be two equal sides of...
The same golden coin

Doing so to His delight, so I would answer only to
The call of my soul mate, the only one
When she would say my name
Would make a captive of my heart once…
Again

I loved you before my time
In this world became a reality
Always adoring you
Long before you were born
And had taken your first breath

I loved you before we were separated
By my earthly birth...taken from your presence
Where you were no longer near to me
But a daunting vision which would always stay
Haunting my dreams so many
Sleepless nights

I have loved you now everyday
When my freedom from the trappings
Of this world was found...by your appearance
For, I was already born a twin to your love
Gladly receiving a hearts imprisonment
Once again by Heavenly bars
As our God already predestined it to be
Before the beginning of time

AN EASTER POEM FOR THE LORD
Wendell A Brown Apr 2017
Every time I bring forth Your image
From deep within the well of my mind
My heart begins shedding joyous tears
For Your beautiful love that’s mine

I can never escape feeling the emotions
As they easily overwhelm me each day
Just like the first time You embraced me
The raging passion of my love will stay

I was blessed the day You forgave me
That first moment You became my friend
And ever since Your spirit held me close
My life changed as I was born again

You have never forsaken me a single day
Of all the spiritual things in life I need
And I love those very special moments
When together Your living word we read

While I lift up my song of sweet love to You
Your pure life showers of heaven’s joy begin
As I humbly thank You for shedding your blood
A perfect sacrifice forgiving all of our sins.
Happy Easter to all!

Seeking Your Love

From my heart of hearts I seek You

In the place where my happiness stays

I long to hear Your soothing voice

In the place where my love daily plays


Your love is the most vibrant of my needs

The essence of my life each day

I must eat of your loves sweet tenderness

As In Your grace I humbly stay


What blessings Lord you have allowed

Which brings my lost soul back to life

That I may drink with undeserving lips

From Your tender sweet well tonight


While my day grasps it’s closing moments

And soft stirring stars bring me to slowly sleep

I open up the richness of my love filled heart

So with my spirit You shall always be.

glow that lets me know
how you feel.

am always loved by

in your thoughts

You daily show no matter
what happens in my life
you are the only one who

Beloved
Wendell A Brown Feb 2014
You made the day
Envious, because
Your beauty has no rival

And my body reaches a
Breathless state of
Sheer euphoria

As my lips yearn to speak,
But they are held prisoner
By their binding passion

I can only cry within
For I fear the moment
Will escape me soon

Leaving me a hopeless
Pawn in a maze of
Unwanted loneliness

Where I may never
Be allowed to see
The beauty of your face
Again

As I must know your
Name to frame it tightly
To the walls of my heart

So that I may dream of
You in many moments
That are mine alone

While saying an earnest
Prayer, begging that I  
May see you again so
Soon

Where have all our beautiful flowers gone
Each so very special in their own way
Where have all our young flowers gone
Why has this world’s evil taken them away

Where have all our young flowers gone
Oh Lord, we miss them in so many ways
And it's hard to accept the reason they left
As our grief overwhelms us so much today

For our souls are broken in many, many pieces
While our hearts are deeply wrought with pain
We know from this moment forward in our lives
Nothing in our world will again be the same

Where have all our little flowers gone to
Though it may seem they are now far away
The jewels of our lives are still very near
For in our hearts, their smiles brightly stay

Even as our hearts deeply weep for all of them
In all their faces an angel’s smile, we'll see
Knowing our Lord has embraced each one lovingly
Giving their spirits the blessing of heavenly gain.

My heart embraces you daily
As your smile sweeps me away
And I am now as always
Of your love a willing slave

It does not take much to please me
For it's  very easy when it comes to you
You provide such simple pleasures
With everything you say and do

I try each day not to ever think about
How my life would surely be
If I spent it alone without your love
Right here so very close to me

So I speak each day in silent prayer
To my God who has blessed me so
Who graced my life daily with your tender love
Making it a treasure I will not let go.

You Wanted It Too
Wendell A Brown May 2014
I sat with you
And could not
Find the words
That day…

For they escaped
Me because I wanted
Them to be so right

I touched your hand
For the first time
And my heart did
Leap within…

I hugged you close
And you also did
The same

And I realized at
That moment I did
Not have to say a
Thing

For you already
Understood me
Because your eyes
Told me so

That what I wanted
To be, you also
Wanted the same
Thing too.

The Flames of Love
Wendell A Brown May 2017
Why is it each time I see you
I fall in love all over again
Why is it when I embrace you
Loves fires will begin again

Why is it each time I kiss you
I want to hold you much more
Why is it when I'm near to you
Of one thought I am quite sure

I need you like the grass the rain
Or the sky above the soft clouds
For without your love in my life
I would not know what loves about

I only know each moment I see you
I will fall in love all over again
And when I reach out to touch you
The flames of love will still begin.

Yesterday's Thoughts
Wendell A Brown Apr 2014
Yesterday I thought of  holding you
A thought my heart shall not forget
One so alive with your exquisite smile
A lovely moment I won't soon forget

I  quietly visualized those pretty eyes
A breathtaking  brown as they can be
Their vision is  alive deep in my mind
As I  know they shine radiantly for me

I also think often about your lovely kiss
And the special beauty found in your lips
For such an embracing kiss I would miss
If I never again felt the taste of your lips

But some often say dreams are for fools
Yet with you will those moments be true
Because your love still occupies my dreams
And my thoughts each day of loving you.

WAITING FOR YOU
Wendell A Brown Apr 2017
Lost to my eyes is the morning sun
When to this day I now arise
Dark clouds hovered high above
As rain showers shared my skies

My world was so sad and lonely
With my heart much like this day
For you are far away from me
Yes so far from where I now lay

It is really hard for me to begin
Facing the sadness of this new day
When usually It starts with a smile
The one which takes my breath away

And I find its so very hard to do
Getting myself ready to go to work
For I am always greeted by your smile
But loneliness close to me now lurks

Its tentacles quietly try to entrap me
Placing its many wares into my mind
Though I try to overcome sad thoughts
I find myself overwhelmed over time

Lost to my eyes is your priceless smile
This cold day when from our bed I arose
That even Shakespeare could never capture
My mood, in sweet succulent lines of prose.
being away, loneliness, sadness, waiting

FREE
Wendell A Brown Apr 2017
Whenever you are not with me
My heart quickly turns within
To the image, my heart will see
Whose daily love helps me begin

Nothing could ever separate us
Or keep my heart from loving you
And as long as I am breathing
To you Lord I will remain so true

My heart will sing its praises
Making moments to be treasured
I will cause them to last longer
Praying each will be alive forever

And I will never be lonely long
Without Your love here beside me
For I will give life to my dreams
As your tender touch keeps me free.

Wendell A. Brown

First Memory
Wendell A Brown Apr 2017
I knew you were someone special
When I first saw your smile today
I knew because the way you smiled
In my life, you would have to stay

Filling my world with the loveliness
Which I greet daily when I see you
I found my heart deeply falling
And my mind knew not what to do

I had to try to find new ways
That would get you to notice me
I wanted to get closer to you
So my presence you would need

I had to convince you, darling
In my world, you had to stay
I found each night as I slept
Your image would never fade

I knew what I was praying for
Hoping you would grow a need
To have me close to you in life
And you too would dream of me

Many new things start to happen
As one begins to fall in love I say
I find many pleasurable emotions
Since my eyes saw you that day

What I embrace now I find I need
To fill my life  in so many ways
As love continues to grow I know
Your reality of love will never fade.

SOMEONE THE LORD MADE
Wendell A Brown Mar 2017
You gave me life in my beginning
As You, LORD also chose  my name
Placing Your spirit deep within me
Making me sensitive to all things

Gently placing in my heart Your grace
Always allowing me each day to know
Wherever I choose to go in this world
With Your spirit, I am never alone

You placed me into my mother's womb
In a family where Your love thrived
Placing blessings in each generation
As each kept Your spirits flame alive

Feeling I was one of Your favorites
When each day You would let me know
As Your blessing of love embraced me
I knew Lord, you'd never let me go

Lord understanding the genuine reason
Why the words fell from my mother's lips
For she knew I would praise and serve You
As her prayer was answered with promise.
When my life changed in 1976, my mom reminded why the change came!

YOUR LOVE FOR ME
Wendell A Brown Jan 2017
My heart swells up within me
As many tears begin to fall
My heart reaches out to you
And the wonder of your love

I move to taste the goodness
Which I find each day you bring
As I move even closer to you
My heart now begins to sing

For nothing can be quite better
Then when I open my eyes to see
The golden essence of your spirit
As your genuine love embraces me

For I did not have to open my eyes
Neither did I have to really breathe
For I know it has only come about
Because of your true love for me.
A psalm of praise, and thanks!!
