Intermezzo Of My Soul
Author: Joyce Hemsley
I searched for you
and I found you
Intermezzo of my soul.
I build my life around you
Mine, is a loving role.
I will cling to you forever
No hope without your call,
Be here in winter weather
in summer and in Fall.
I searched for you
And I found you, so come
Now make me whole,
Eager arms await you,
Intermezzo of my soul.
I Promise
Author: Lisa Jones
I promise to be your warm spot to cuddle up to
when you feel cold
I promise to be your soft place to land
if you should fall
I promise to be the first
one to say I am sorry (even if I was right)
I promise to be there for you
in all of your times of joy and sorrow
I promise to support you no matter
what your decision (even if I don't agree )
I promise to make a new memory
with you each and every day
I promise to love you without change.
I promise to make you laugh
I promise not to make you cry
I promise to give you strength when you are weak
I promise to love you forever
I promise to cherish you and your love
I promise to compromise with you
I promise to make you and our children my first priority
I promise to never take your love for granted
I promise to never lose faith in you
I promise to never give you a reason to distrust me
I promise to always trust you
I promise to work with you to resolve our conflicts
I promise to always be proud of you
I promise to never let you feel alone in this world
I promise to find new ways everyday to keep the fires of passion burning
I promise to be the best mom I can to our children
I promise to always keep you as an equal partner
I promise to never say things to you in anger
I promise to be your partner for life
I promise to be your shelter from the storm.
I promise you a love everlasting.
IT COULD BE FOREVER
Author: R.C.B.
Sorry, for the way I stare
Forgive me, for the way I think of you
Pardon me, for dreaming all about you
And do understand, the way I love you
If you just knew what it is like this way
I shiver when you’re near
I stare at you just to seize the day
I act so strange if you’re around
I feel my heart smile when I see you
I brag endlessly uttering words about you
And I’d be hurt just the thought you can’t be mine
If you just knew how long I’ve been hidin’
The secret of my affection, admiration I have
I never want you to notice
That I’m simply falling in love
But I hate the way I feel this pain
The pain, the fear of not wanting you to know
Or even just to give you a single clue
For I fear to face rejection and humiliation
If I’d think about how I acted when you’re near
I think I’m going regret those things
Coz I assume I got lost that moment
Trembling, gasping for what to do and say
If I just knew how to be myself with you
If only I knew what’s in your mind
Then, I didn’t have to act someone else
If tomorrow comes that you’d learn
The way I see you, the way I feel for you
Please...I never want you to turn away
Let me love the sight of you
I’m really glad to have found you
I confess, that it hurts so bad falling for you
I can never grace my heart way to you
I guess I have to stay this way
With your presence so heart away
I’d be unnoticed, unseen and unloved by you
I do hope it’s alright
If I’d be loving you silently
You don’t have to worry
I have nothing to ask for
Although I know it can’t be
Just let me be this way
Maybe for a while, for a moment
Or maybe it could be forever.

Hearts Desire
Author: Brynn
Brandish you, my hearts delight
I yield to you every night
And in the time I've spent alone
My love for you I've always known.
Passion burns in lovers eyes
One look from you, my spirits rise
This flame inside, still burns bright
And from my soul, this light takes flight.
Lately this rain seems less dreary
Because of this, my hearts less weary
And if in fact we're meant to be
The sky will clear so I may see.
A future bright and filled with love
Sends cleansing rain from above
To wash away the painful tears
And release my heart of once felt fears.
Each time I look at you my dear
There seems nothing I should fear
Once locked up dreams come undone
A new life for me has begun.
My life spins in tune with yours
Twirling and dancing through open doors
A cycle with a touch of fate
Our worlds entwined, creating hate.
Through our bond, we rose to fight
A love this strong can break the night
Through this fight, we mean no pain
Happiness is all we wish to gain.

HEAVENLY PROMISES ON MENDED WINGS
Author: Mike Lewis
The sweetest melodies are those sung from the heart.
The softest harmonies are when two souls mend together.
Why then do people say it's love that tears them apart?
When it's with love that you can stand the stormy weather.
When I met you, Spring was here, and the birds were nesting.
I looked into your soft eyes and saw the prettiest smile.
Heaven pulled down her vail and offered her most sacred blessing.
I've met an angel, I couldn't help but to smile.
Sitting by the pool of life, reflecting upon it's surface,
I think of others and I get a little ripple.
I think of you, and a wave swells, spraying my face.
You said you wouldn't cry, but I see the tears start to trickle.
Some people don't believe in love at first sight,
Obviously they haven't seen you.
Drifting on love's endless blissful flight,
I'm so glad I met you.
HIDDEN LOVE
Author: Heather
Passion burning deep in my heart
Wishing that we were never apart
Coming together hand in hand
Melted and pressed as grains of sand
Shaping a most beautiful pane of glass
Etchings abound and trimmed with brass
A beautiful display wanting all to see
Remains hidden and sheltered only for me.
HOPE IS A THING WITH FEATHERS
Author: Emily Dickinson
Hope is a thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings a tune without words
And never stops at all.
And sweetest, in the gale, is heard
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That keeps so many warm.
I've heard it in the chilliest land
And on the strangest sea
Yet, never, in extremity
It ask a crumb of me.
HOW DO I LOVE THEE ?
Author: Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1770-1850)
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints,--I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life!--and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

The Good Knight
Steely Knight on trusted steed,
A handsome sight beheld indeed.
Rides with head held high post-battle
Beholden, adversaries rattle.
Exhuding strength and will to live-
Slow to anger, quick to forgive.
A good and just one - well respected.
Loves his own, keeps them protected.
All pause to look as he rides by,
Each damsel hopes to catch his eye.
No nymph aware his hearts been taken
A Love that would not be forsaken.
He glances down not, travels on.
She's on his mind, he's waited long.
And when soon they're reunited-
Kisses sweet and both excited.
They'll stow away for days on end.
Two disparate hearts - now will mend.
magnificent prose.

I love the woman's poem but not the man's as I only like poetry with a good rhyme scheme to it. Rhythm & alliteration are just added extras to me. That's just my opinion though.

Equines
In my opinion, equines are the nicest animals on earth.
I've thought that since not long after my birth.
Equines are horses, ponies & donkeys too.
That information is for those without a clue.
At 1 time, most of the world without them would be at a standstill.
They were transport, pulled canal boats & worked in the mine & mill.
They also used to pull the plough.
It's a shame they don't do it now.

Cake, cake, beautiful cake.
Nice to eat & lovely to bake.
Don't eat a cake that is fake.
If you do your teeth will break.
Cake, cake, beautiful cake.

Why can't you think straight when you're mad?
Why can't you think straight when you're sad?
This fight/flight/freeze response is out of date.
I detest people who are full of hate.
Singing normally calms me down.
It normally rids me of the frown.
Singing a song with lots of high notes lets of steam.
Singing a crescendo normally works a dream.
That's because if you express anger vocally a crescendo mimics this.
It starts quiet getting louder until it reaches a climax that's easy to miss.
The sound of bagpipes keeps me calm.
I find it has a great deal of charm.
Reading helps cheer me up a lot too.
I read books wrote like Victorians used to do.

For when people feel down
Don't just sit there if you are feeling sad & blue.
Find something to do.
Things aren't that bad.
You don't have to be so mad.
You don't have to feel so sad.
When you feel that sad you have to wear a frown.
Try wearing a smile & you won't be so down.
Tomorrow is always another day.
You can always see things another way.
You can sing, dance, laugh or play.
The sun will always cheer you up.
As well as tea or latte by the cup.
Listen to music & sing along.
Dance to the song.
You can't go wrong.
There is nothing better than a good book.
It doesn't hurt to have a look.
You're never as bad as you make yourself out to be.
Have faith in yourself & others will have faith in thee.
I know, it's happened to me.

I sing when I'm happy.
I sing when I'm sad.
I sing when I'm calm.
I sing when I'm mad.
I sing all the time.
I've got a nice voice
I sing songs that rhyme.
People like hearing me.

Generalisation on what some people are like
I wish people would stop judging other people on their looks.
They don't care whether people can draw, paint, make things, sing, play musical instruments or write poetry or books.
They also judge people on their voices.
They judge people not on their deeds but on their choices.
They don't realise that people can be intelligent even though they stutter.
They don't realise that people can be intellectual even if they mutter.
They are nasty to people who don't share their creeds.
They think it's good to say horrid things & do horrible deeds.
They don't realise people can be smart if they can't walk.
They think you're stupid if you cannot talk.
They are very quick to put other people down.
Then they treat them as if they're crazy if they wear a frown.
They treat the elderly & disabled & people who are different to them as if they didn't matter.
They treat people who are bigger than them like dirt because their stomachs aren't flatter.
