DISSENT (updated poem)

DISSENT

There is an opposition

Disagreement afoot

Discord between friends

Who are now foes!

Who with

Who knows?

There is so much

Destruction

Discord

The conflict

The battle

The fight

The struggle

The clashes

Of personalities

Characters

There is a fire burning

Raging

Raging

Out of control

Nothing ever seen before

It needs to be seized

Taken hold of

Right at the heart of it

It must not take control

It is a force to be reckoned with

Powerful

Strong

All mighty

Have you the strength

And the might to

Reconcile

The dissent

Bring order to chaos

Bring peace

Instead of dissent

It can work

Work with it together

Bring the peace and harmony

As one

Not divided

Alienated

Separated

So let there be harmony

And let our own forces be reckoned with

WARRIOR WOMAN OF YOUR HEART AND SOUL

WARRIOR WOMAN

OF YOUR HEART AND SOUL

This warrior woman the keeper of all hearts

Will fight until she departs

She will fight for what is right

She will stand up to all that is the light

This warrior woman will put up a fight.

She adores all that is good within your soul

Will keep your soul safe from harm through the turmoil

Your soul that you gave to her on your wedded day

Never to depart in anyway

There is a look in her eyes

That keeps you hypnotized

Those  eyes of hers

That shows him love that he so desires

His warrior woman the woman he loves with no lies

That sees her with the passage of time

Beauty beholden and love so infinitely defined

Her beauty

Her grace, her elegance

Her stance that makes you want to dance

Her wisdom

Her dream

Her world

Of a love so pure

She is the warrior queen

Of all hearts and souls

NO DARK LADY (updated poem)

NO DARK LADY

But willing and able to strike

That dark, dark force

Sword at the ready

Waiting

I will defend the light

With all this might

Slicing

Cutting

Harshly

Through the dense, dense

Blackness

Murkiness

Cloudiness

The shadows that lurk

All around the corners

Waiting

Wanting

To pounce

Ambush

Attack at the first chance

This is the time to seize

The moment

Right here

Right now

No looking back

Defender of the light

DRAWN TO THE LIGHT (new poem)

DRAWN TO THE LIGHT

What draws you to the light?

You are dancing by the fire

But never step in

Like you know it will burn

And you will shrivel and die

I will miss you

With your wings so thin

Are you chasing a destiny?

Like I am running away from mine

That is so divine

So sublime

Maybe if I look into the fire

I might see what my heart desires

A flame that will burn

Endlessly

Eternally

What are you seeking?

From the fire light

Enlightenment

Contentment

Or just to come to the light

Just for the feel of the fires

Warmth and delight

I have no fear of the light

It is the dark that

Is shrouded in mystery

But the fire is our shining light

Without a shadow of doubt

BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE (new poem)

BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

It’s not in the way that she carries herself

Nor in the way that she dresses

Or the clothes that she wears

It’s not in any way that she has her hair

Be it orange, green, purple or blue

Tied up in a French knot

Or blowing in the breeze,

So wild

 So free

  Without any care

It’s not in the artwork that adorns her body

Or the jewels that she wears

They are just an embodiment,

A part of her cares.

The real beauty is in her eyes

That speaks volume for all to see

They are the windows to her soul

Where her love for others resides

So deep, so true, so real that cannot be denied,

The fire and the passion that no one can deny her

YOU AND I AS ONE

YOU AND I AS ONE

You are the wolf

I am the huntress

You’re baying at the moons full light

Filling my mind and soul

With ecstasy

So powerful, such ferocity

You’re the leader of the pack

The alpha with the silver back

You’re strength and beauty

And with your sense of duty

The moon shines bright

On this dark, dark night

The haunting sounds

Crying out loud

Oh so much music that

Sounds so right

Oh baying wolf

In this wild, wild wilderness

You have me in wild, wild

Sweet blissfulness

Never, ever do I want to miss!

Such wonder, beauty,

And your tenderness
