Picking Diamonds
I was picking diamonds from the heavens
When my hair got tangled with the stars in the breeze
Fireflies reached up in glee too, their soft glow dancing
Singing our mirth awash with moon-paint, I smiled
Then the night tugged gently, pulling away the sky
For the dawn to stroll in, with her show-stopper colors
The diamonds in my hands were spilling their brilliance
Reaching down to earth, to jewel my silent hopes
I learned to fly with the winds on rapture
Their swoosh, music to my hopes on wish-pegs
They warm themselves in the summer-sun promises
Waiting to burst alive on my future rainbows
Some nomads we pick treasures from the future
The skies and nature our only witness
We walk with them prized in our hunting bags
Carrying hope in its precious revered status...

Through The Eyes Of A Poet
Through the eyes of a poet
The stars shone so brightly
the moonbeams danced across the wave
flickering lights spreads its glow
into the deepest darkest night
starlight’s shining deep into the night
until the flicker of dawn
rays of sunshine spread across the land
warming the grass the sand
one looks upon the beauty
that mother nature displays
in rainbows of colours
that splash across the day
winds whisper softly in the breeze
butterfly gently flutter in its wake
dancing and swaying to the midsummer breeze
one sighs as we feel the sunshine warm on our face
embracing the beauty that sprawls its splendor around me
Then high above the sky painted
In colours by the hands of our Lord father from above
Shines the rainbow of colours
To remind us the beauty
Of the Earth
Our mother land

My thoughts stray out to you........
My thoughts stray out to you........
My thoughts stray out to you
Stray out to join you........
Walking the milky way
The cloudy skies look on
The stars twinkle with mirth
Many a moon circling the Jupiter, Earth, Mars
Busy in its chosen track
Pause a second
To exchange a smile
The years slip by
Time swishes past
I increase the speed of my travel
Time travel I do
To a future with you........
The breeze tickles my curls
Takes hold of my clothes
Gently pulling it..........
Accenting my curves
In the darkness of no moon's night
Mooning away with your thoughts
Hardly aware of passing time
Hugging my self with tightened arms
My shawl pulled closer
Keeping my Chasity intact
A smile of slow happiness
Lights up my features
As hope builds a future with you.........
I would walk for ever....
Through thick and thin
If it only meant
I would reach you
In the end.......
Within the safe haven
Of circling arms
Your breath on the nape
Of my creased neck
Your touch the magic
That transforms earth to heaven!

Look Up
You see the sky when you look for hope
The hope that the cool breeze will hit your warm face
On a hot sky lit by the afternoon light
You look up at the sky when your imagination is running free
You look to the clouds to see crazy things in your imagination
Like a zoo for the day dreamer or the wisher
You look at the sky to see the stars dancing around the evening sun
The evening skies are the most gorgeous thing to a painter
The sky paint’s it’s own painting with the colors of the heavens

Music of Hope
rains of hope bring rainbows of peace
warm smiles, clear skies, twinklng stars,
sparkling laughter. school children
skipping home to play,
hope, whispering in my ear
blooms intio music of cheer,
come dance with me, the dance of peace
sing with me, the song of peace
come laugh with me, the laughter of peace,
the secrets of the land will bloom into peace
rippling whispers, twinkling stars
rainbows in the sky raining hopes,

Summer Skies
Summer skies
When clouds have dried their eyes
And all fierce storms have died
Listen, -fickle breeze just sighed.
And sunshine laughs across your hair
As England bathes in evening air
Upon your lips I taste fine wine
Lending sips from heavens' vine.
And as church bells peal their echo soft
Sunday will reveal aloft
Like meadow dance of happy flora
As summer skies reflect aurora.
Winters' frozen feeling flying free
Red sky smiles revealing tranquility.
Bees humming natures' tune
Serenade the hissing noon
The woman that I'm missing,
Soon, will hold me under crescent moon.
Summer skies
Rivers flow
-But passion will fly
Promises glow,
Then like fashion will die.
And so we walk the twilight beach
No dream is ever out of reach
No sunset ever waved goodbye
Without a twinkle in its eye.
As love returns with sweet surprise
Your touch still burns
Like summer skies.

Come over here woman and touch me you look so electric

When you smile you make my world resolve and you take over
Wild laces with diamonds in your hair
When you smile you make my world resolve and you take over my pain
Oh love
You got a tear in your eye and a look to match it
Well maybe you think you just can't get me out of your hair
Don't try to resist it 'cause
We're getting stronger
The closer we become
You are the best thing in my life

A clear Midnight
the stars are diamonds
strewn by the gods
over the sky
in celebration
of their undying love
for the world
they cool my mind
the stars are diamonds
strewn by the gods
to the golden lady
of the night
the gentle subtle lady
that keeps
the night lighted
as lovers whisper
their secrets to each other
the stars that catch
each of the lovely
glittery promises
spread them across the sky
the stars are diamonds
strewn across the sky
for lovers
to swear their undying love
to each other
words pristine as the stars
that keep each night illuminated,
guided....
inspired by
A Clear Midnight
THIS is thy hour O Soul, thy free flight into the wordless,
Away from books, away from art, the day erased, the lesson done,
Thee fully forth emerging, silent, gazing, pondering the themes thou
lovest best.
Night, sleep, and the stars.

Diamonds and Rust
I'll be damned, here comes your ghost again
but that's not unusual
it's just that the moon is full
and you decided to come
And here I sit, hand on the telephone
hearing the voice I'd known
a couple of light years ago
headed straight for a fall
But we both know what memories can bring
they bring Diamonds and Rust
yes we both know what memories can bring
they bring Diamonds and Rust
Now I see you standing with brown leaves all around and snow in your hair
Now we're smiling out the window of the crummy hotel over washington square
and then comes that white clouds, mingles and hangs in the air
Speaking strictly for me
we both could've died then and there
Now you're telling me you're not nostalgic
then give me another word for it
you were so good with words
and at keeping things paid
cause I need some of that vagueness now, it's all come back too clearly
yes, I love you dearly
and if you're offering me diamonds and rust
I've already paid
But we both know what memories can bring
they bring Diamonds and Rust
yes we both know what memories can bring
they bring Diamonds and Rust
Diamonds, Diamonds and Rust
Diamonds, Diamonds and Rust
Diamonds, Diamonds and Rust
Diamonds, Diamonds and Rust

Wintermoon
Under stars,
under sky,
I will walk,
my path and fate.
Wathing the moon,
the ghostly light,
enchanted by its beauty.
I will walk forever on,
knowing that past is past,
and future is future.
Life is only lived in the present.
I will walk,
in winter, spring, summer and autumm,
watching the moon,
enchanted by its beauty.
I walk down the path of spring,
knowing my fate awaits,
I'm walking the path of life.
I walk the path of summer,
looking at the sun,
warmed by the sun,
I'm alive and growing,
nature is part of me.
I walk the path of autumm,
seeing the prey of death,
beautiful coulours of the fiery soul,
striving to live once again.
Once future, now the base of knowledge,
THE future.
I walk down the path of winter,
looking at the wintersky,
bewitched by the wintermoon,
so clean,
so beautiful,
and yet so cold.
I will live in the present,
walking towards the future,
while this life of mine is build upon the past.
The past is me,
I'm the past, the present and the future.
Sea Of Faith
Say sayonara darling
this time goodbye
No bon voyage,
it's time to fly
I can see the breakdown coming
Like a twisted wreck
Let's save ourselves the sorrow
Before we hit the deck
From the high plains
to the border
All across the land
From the flying of the flag
To lovers kissing hands
You can cover me in roses
put nickles on my eyes
There be no tomorrows,
no more goodbyes
Sea of faith
where did she go
Little diamonds
how you shine and glow
Looking at the future I don't know
I am just here to watch the river flow
A street full of whispers,
rings like a chinese gong
A room full of would be's
whose lives have gone wrong
The blues don't exist now
just to cleanse your soul
They were made to wake you up
Not to dig a hole
You can cover me in roses,
put nickles on my eyes
There be no tomorrows,
no more goodbyes
Sea of faith
where did she go
Little diamonds
how you shine and glow
Looking at the future I don't know
I am just here to watch the river flow
Solo
Say sayonara darling
this time goodbye
No bon voyage,
it's time to fly
I can see the breakdown coming
Like a twisted wreck
Let's save ourselves the sorrow
Before we hit the deck
It's something of a tragedy
It would make you weep
When you kiss your love goodnight
Now I see why lovers leap
You can cover me in roses,
put nickles on my eyes
There be no tomorrows,
no more goodbyes
Sea of faith
where did she go
Little diamonds
how you shine and glow
Looking at the future
I don't know
I am just here to watch
the river flow
Little diamonds
how you shine and glow
Looking at the future
I don't know
I am just here to watch
the river flow
Little diamonds
how you shine and glow

Hope For The Future
(music: marillion lyrics: john helmer)
Ive been feeling kind of down and loose
Like a rosicrucian pope
Head down deep in the womb of time
Carrying a message of hope
My hands steady as a hangmans hands
Surer than the hangmans rope
I could sleep for invisible years
Carrying a message of hope
For the future
For the future
Carrying a message
Carrying a message
Carrying a message
Message of hope
Ive been feeling kind of down and loose
Like a rosicrucian pope
Head down deep in the womb of time
Carrying a message of hope
My hands steady as a hangmans hands
Surer than the hangmans rope
I could sleep for invisible years
Carrying a message of hope
For the future
For the future
I found a power on a dusty shelf
Hey!-the languages I learned
Now Im so powerful I hurt myself
I hurt myself
I feel kind of limbie brain
Like the library of an astronaut
Found hidden in a pyramid
Shadowing a body of thought
Carrying a message
Message of hope
Madam Im adam, Im a palindrome
Never odd or even any time
Fishin and smilin like a garden gnome
Twisting tales and spinning lines
Spinning lines
Twisting tales
Why dont we twist like we did last year?
Carrying, carrying a message
Message of hope

Hard Promises To Keep
(kimmie rhodes)
Im trying to believe in forever
Im trying to believe in the little jewel box life we lead
Babe, I get so close sometimes
But all I really know is
I believe that weve been making hard promises to keep
You want me to believe in forever
Do you know how tight Im holding
Just to keep my grip on yesterday?
Im trying hard to see the pretty pictures that you paint for me
Do you know how tight Im holding to hard promises to keep
Promises are like little diamonds
Promises are like little hearts
We meant to give away
I thought youd want them back someday
Ive kept them for you anyway
But I know when Ive been given hard promises to keep
Promises are like little diamonds
Promises are like little hearts
We meant to give away
I thought youd want them back someday
Ive kept them for you anyway
But I know when Ive been given hard promises to keep
And I know that Ive been given hard promises to keep

Indian Dancer
EYES ravished with rapture, celestially panting, what passionate bosoms aflaming with fire
Drink deep of the hush of the hyacinth heavens that glimmer around them in fountains of light;
O wild and entrancing the strain of keen music that cleaveth the stars like a wail of desire,
And beautiful dancers with houri-like faces bewitch the voluptuous watches of night.
The scents of red roses and sandalwood flutter and die in the maze of their gem-tangled hair,
And smiles are entwining like magical serpents the poppies of lips that are opiate-sweet;
Their glittering garments of purple are burning like tremulous dawns in the quivering air,
And exquisite, subtle and slow are the tinkle and tread of their rhythmical, slumber-soft feet.
Now silent, now singing and swaying and swinging, like blossoms that bend to the breezes or showers,
Now wantonly winding, they flash, now they falter, and, lingering, languish in radiant choir;
Their jewel-girt arms and warm, wavering, lily-long fingers enchant through melodious hours,
Eyes ravished with rapture, celestially panting, what passionate bosoms aflaming with fire!

Diamonds
diamonds in her hair
diamonds fill her eyes
diamonds from her rough
to sympathize
shine on through my days
shine on to my life
shine an open sky
til all seems right
it's good enough for me
i take my solace everywhere i go
everyting i need is on my back
only you believe that your belief is all i seek and
anything we need is with us now
shine on everywhere
shine on, just don't you care
shine on as you go
shine on
flying through the air
lightning in the sky
flying makes me smile and feel alive
diamonds from her mouth
diamonds in her palms
diamonds from her earth to keep me warm
it's good enough for me
i take my solace everywhere i go
everything i need is on my back
if only you believe that your belief is all i seek and
anything we need is with us now
shine on
the whos and blues and flys remain
as jack knows jill to set a stage
so pause and draw my jar gaze
to face no cause and damn debate
a wise and cries up all disgrace
i'll hit this rhyme and tear a page
shine on everywhere
shine on just don't you care
grab a hold don't let go
cause this ride doesn't stop for anyone

The Lyrics of MoonLight
The Sun is Majestic, holding sway
over land, seas, and skies
defining each Day
in Horizons of Bright Colours
a Peacock's Feathery Display
As the Heavens gather in the colors
and darken the sky
a choir of stars slowly appears
serenading the Sun's departure
with the Music of the Spheres
The Moon glides in
owning the night
Singing a Concert
to Lovers gleaming
under the reflected light
the Moon sings to these Hearts
dancing to the Rhythms
of the Moon's Tidal Force
The soft percussive tidal effects
ignite the emotions
upon which a soul reflects
empower the spirit
to discover its own course
The Lyrics of Moon Light
seen in the blush of a face
felt in the warmth of an embrace
The Lyrics of Moon Light
the voice to a soft caress
the joy of God's Loving Grace
The Lyrics of Moon Light
persist in the heart
as the Moon commands the night stage
a grand opening on Broadway, no
the gentle turn of a lover's diary page

A Bright Sky
I walk down the beach in the beaming sun,
My feet sink into the sand, gently,
My hair is swept backwards as the warm breeze hits it,
Suddenly I turn around and everything is opposite,
My hair is swept backwards as the cool breeze hits it,
I feel as though I walk above the sand,
And I walk back down the beach in the night,
I look up and all I can see is darkness,
The night sky is lit by the moon and the stars,
It’s a bright sky.

Springsong
Summer is coming I hear the wind whisper
Tales of new seasons now waltz in the breeze
Daffodils dancing and bluebells are waking
And new leaves are sprigging on every tree
Hark! how the brook sings its song to the fishes
Tripping along in the dawn's golden rays
Leaping and dancing in joy at the dawning of
Summer, 'she's coming, she's coming', she says
May blossom peeping from every new branch, now
New dew like diamonds bedazzle the lawn
Soon, like confetti their blossoms will litter
Our lawns and our gardens as summer is born.
Sing now of swallows a-swooping and soaring
Borne on the mild winds of Africa's Plain
Drawn to their nests built in summers forgotten
To bring forth their babies fly back again
Joy to the ploughboy and joy to the farmer
Joy to the stranger - and you, all my friends
Let's raise a cup to the warm summer sunshine
And welcome the summer as old winter ends.....

Earthen Odes Never Grow Old (another Ode to Earth)
I'm just a kid lookin up to sky
with hopeful dreams.
Wishes, I have but one;
with will and patience
it will someday come.
For now I am just sittin
waitin for contact,
whether it be human
other or beyond.
Oh to only be intimate
with the fullbodied moon;
transcendent phosphorous-flesh,
naked and dancing,
amongst the many turned on stars.
Staring out
open-infinite-night-sky
never feeling more down to Earth
never feeling more a downer than
when feeling down about the Earth
such self indulgent pollutant:
being so sad, feeling so hopeless,
when alive on this planet,
that has survived so much.
Oh Earth, do you know the dark secrets
of this seemingly late hour?
Earth, you are my life's longest lasting survivor!
Earth, you are my my rock!
tell me, oh Earth,
on the prophets' ticking clock
what are your thoughts?
Stardust life liquified into steady foundation
great gaseous mother birthing solid body form
oh earth,
you of all will be hardest to let go,
you are the full embodiment of all
I've come to love and know.
Thank you for the soft cool mud,
the sands of your shores,
the breeze off the sea, the mountain air,
all the trees, every bee
every moment of
atmospheric unpredictability
every season's
holiday nostalgia familiarity
for the flowers, the warblers
the vegetables, the penguin's smile, and the grain
moss, mushrooms, sea cucumbers and the coral
thank you for rosemary, sandalwood,
thank you for salt
thank you for pepper
the rice and the pot
thank you for the water and the steam
Oh yeah and Earth, thank you for your thyme.
Earth, you taught me starry intimacy
'neath the isolation of your skies.
Earth, I wave your torch proudly
in the burning blue of my eyes.
Upon what silent dawn shall crow the knells
of revelation carrion dinner bells?
- I once bore witness to a
UFO flash its rutilant green gloriole
over the nitid-neon city smog-nebula -skyline-
mystic pacific multidemensional worm holes
opening trinity's lost portal in the ocean?
I look up,
hope diamonds gleam over
the globe of gleeds and glaur.

Nature At Dusk
Butterfly, butterfly, up so high
Your radiant colors as you glide
As the mockingbird sings so sweet and soft
Flowers of beauty and rich scents fill the air with tranquility and serenity
Bumblebees slowly and delicately hum their lullaby to all the creatures
The stars and the fireflies are nightlights to the creatures' babes
The wolf howls gently and sincerely to call the moon out of the clouds
Woodpecker beating his drum to tell the night it is time to overpower the day sky
At last, it is dusk
There is no movement or sound
The singing, the humming, the howling, the drums, and the wind too, all are silent and idle
Every creature is asleep and peacefully quiet
This is nature at dusk

Wonder I at Nature!
Lovely song delights heart;
Beautiful poem pleases mind;
Sweet art sustains soul ever;
Nature is living art all in one!
Singing bird is amazing wonder;
Swimming swan is swaying beauty;
Colourful butterfly is flower alive;
Nature is divine art all in one!
Beautiful flowers dancing by wind,
Colourful fish swimming in ecstasy,
Stars twinkling as diamonds in sky
Nature simply delights all in ecstasy!
Is Nature in all its glory only on Earth
Or in the whole of Universe? I wonder!
