Raining on the Fields - February 28, 2011

Phatpuppy

Raining on the Fields

You linger in love letters and sleep deeply within souls

Often, observed in the look in one's eyes

Those windows where shadows hold time will reveal

Spirit's of feelings, nameless and faceless

Yet, not to be denied

You rain on the fields of a forgotten melody so sweet

As soft feathers from a time standing still

Dancing on the toes' of the soul, you sleep within

Kept alive in the touch of a teardrop's salt

As master of all will

You hide quickly away within the warmth of a smile

While your sweet music continues to play

To be held as an unforgotten scent within a soul

Whose eyes have pulled down the shades

On those feelings today

Glory in Shades of Gray - Feb. 27, 2011

Olga Perry

Glory in Shades of Gray

A new tear parted last night from an ocean of eternity

Where it had once laid shivering and sweet

Beginning to comprehend those words of comfort

From a spirit that has awakened within

Every eye you meet

Looking up for peace of mind outside of black and white

Thoughts hold a subtle sweetness all around

This new tear stares into the breath of expectation

Seeing glory in beautiful shades of gray

Now wonderfully profound

An old tear reveals lips that speak to us of retribution

Losing sight of what is right and wrong

Telling stories that have no place at all to go

Except dark hills carried in our souls

For way too long

A new tear parted last night from an ocean of eternity

Defining hope in feelings now recognized

In all those words of comfort proceeding forth

From the spirit awakening within

These smiling eyes

Life's Battlefield - February 25, 2011

 Life's Battlefield

Will you run for the highest mountain, when all goes wrong

Roam unlit streets, like a roving lion

Or stand here by me and sing our song

Will you dry my tears

When I am crying

Will you hate me for all my faults and weaknesses

Let floods carry me where they may

Or bring to me your peacefulness

Hold me close

On my worst of days

Will you be that fiery dragon, who sets my heart aflame

Fiercely, burns my free spirit down

Or my noble knight, who returns honor to my name

Before another night

Comes round

Will your feet wander where the winds may call

Leave me wondering, never knowing

Or will you catch me before I fall

'Cause the same way

We are going

If you hear a cry of battle, will you run safely for the hills

When you see me raise up my spear

Or will you place in front of me your shield

Will you be my guide and my protector

Here, on Life's Own Battlefield

Underneath a Whisper of Darkness - Feb 24, 2011

  Kot Valeriy

Underneath a Whisper of Darkness

Underneath a whisper of darkness, lies a candle burning

Fear and suspicion caress the flame

Invisible hands of time lay at rest and waiting

Softly murmuring in words of ink

Across the page

The sound of scars echo in the whisper of darkness

Breathing in the essence of the flame

While time rolls words in the crystal ink of pain

Upon the pages of the heart

That still remains

Experience fades to colors that whisper in the darkness

Softly playing with edges of the flame

As time slowly spreads the ink across the pages

Of an existence eagerly awaiting

To live again

Underneath a whisper of darkness, lies a candle waiting

Within a heart held prisoner by a mind

Caressed by the scars of fear and suspicion

So deeply engraved by invisible

Hands of time

Layers of Faces - Feb. 22, 2011

Carmen Mansilla

Layers of Faces

Under layers of faces there exist journeys held in silence

Constantly unraveling inside as heart strings

Pulled to the surface they can quickly shift these layers

Into smiles, tears or a burning anger not predicted

Instantly changing everything

Memories held within the layers of faces never disappear

What the heart has gazed upon remains

Deeply engraved in the tender fibers of our souls

As burning embers buried under time's ash

Sparked......becomes a flame

What is banished often still exists under these layers

Inside the spirit of all our heart strings

Our journeys may leave vivid scars held in silence

But they will also leave lessons in layers

Used to change everything

As the First Time - February 21, 2011

Delphin Enjolras

As the First Time

I turned the pages where I wrote down your name

Reading every line as the first time

Although each letter did not spell out the same

Your heart was in each word

In every rhyme

I read the depths of my own heart in verses

Reading every line as the first time

Although not a single word was rehearsed

Each letter spelled out your name

In my mind

I turned the pages where I wrote down your name

Reading every one as the first time

I wondered to myself if I still felt the same

If my heart still held each word close

To every rhyme

Then I turned the pages over and I took out my pen

Began writing every line as the first time

My heart began to sing as I read once again

That your heart was in each word

Of every rhyme

Tender Honesty - Feb. 20, 2011

Artist - Selenart

Tender Honesty

As my heart surrenders to this place of hours
I give my thoughts new fire to rise
To tender whispers of honesty from lips
I trust in curves I cannot see
With my eyes

One rare pleasure comes in as never before
Driven beyond my pulses beat
Borrowing beauty from inviting sighs
For my own tribute of solitude
Bittersweet

I would wait on the sands of time for release
From this place my thoughts linger
Surrender up this poet's peace eternally
If my heart surrendered to whispers
Of tender honesty
