Threads

Breeze anew, I felt.
Amidst the heat.
As it moved.
Whispered silently.

Mocking, in my ear.
Those solemn words.
Elusive whisks and wisps.
I thus, was meant to hear.

As the day faded.
Slowly turned, into night.
From threads, into thoughts.
It developed.

There I sat - Solidified.
Faced, onto emptiness.
Into the night.
Stones outside.

While within.
Hollows burned.
Flames alingered.
Remained still.

Those hopes, wishes.
Which, I had kept.
While all else born.
Became corrupted, or was lost.

These threads of value.
Still remained.
Too stubborn - Precious.
To simply, vanish - disappear.

They remind me, of what was.
Question worth, I valued.
What madness gripped?
Tainted sense, sensibility.

Evermore.

Until nothing, but money.
Fame, success!
Its ultimate futility.
Mattered anymore.

Perhaps all I asked.
Aspired for.
A smile unique.
Somewhere, in-between.

Annerved kindness.
Mixed with sighs and sorrows.
Lasting faith.
Our wait, deserved fate.

Fitted their enduring thought.

Those many kinds of tears, which we have.
What might their purpose be.
Why should their waters flow.
Bring fullfillment in joy?

Relief, in sorrow?
Release, in agony...?

Elusive Butterfly

Breeze blowing across my face
even the wind leaves a trace
gazing at wavering trees
petals floating in the breeze

For a brief moment in time
I thought maybe you'd be mine
but they were only dreams
and dreams are never what they seem

Love the elusive butterfly
always seems to pass me by
love the elusive butterfly
fly, fly fly, my elusive butterfly

Raindrops falling at my feet
why does love taste bittersweet?
butterfly's dancing in the trees
and then float off in the breeze

Love the elusive butterfly
always seems to pass me by
love the elusive butterfly
fly, fly fly, my elusive butterfly

My Elusive Dreams

by Curly Putman and Billy Sherrill
(added 10/25/97, thanks to Pauline Buchanan)
You followed me to Texas, you followed me to Utah,
We didn't find it there so we moved on.
Then you went with me to A-la-bam',
Things looked good in Birmingham,
We didn't find it there so we moved on.
I know you're tired of fol-low-ing
My elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things,
My elusive dreams.
You had my child in Memphis then I heard of work in Nashville,
But we didn't find it there so we moved on.
To a small farm in Nebraska, to a gold mine in Alaska,
We didn't find it there so we moved on.
I know you're tired of fol-low-ing
My elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things,
My elusive dreams.
Now we've left A-las-ka because thewas no gold mine,
But this time only two of us moved on.
And now all we have is each other and a little memory
To cling to and still you won't let me go on alone.
I know you're tired of following
My elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things,
My elusive dreams.

Innocent Feeling

It ended up with innocent feeling
But certainly it came from her as willing
She was not her but a daughter
We both busted in surprise with laughter

'It was not mom on line'
'Who chatted with you and felt fine'
It was me all the time and talked
Now she expressed with desire and silently walked

'I am not kid as you thought but was influenced'
'By the beautiful charm of her I was silenced'
I continued conversation for some more time
But wished from inside to continue whole time

Now it was my time to render an advice
As she showed so much of an interest and surprise
'I am bachelor in literature' she added
'That can make lovely union and future' the words faded

She turned out to be sober and intelligent
She was not meant for worldly desires at present
I was drawn at her apparent skill
With her honest desire and strong will

I expected wind to blow in my favor
She was all meant for descent behavior
I assured and we moved on with total interest
It was all desired on her part to serve the best

Today we have pledged
Agreed and well managed
She is there for me forever
I shall desert her never

I know the relation may grow and last
As it appeared on horizon very fast
I am lucky to find her in lovely bond
As I had waited for such relation and was very much fond

Star of Bethlehem

‘Will you come again? ’
I asked you that evening
Your steps moved silently
Towards the door
The setting sun by then
Stealthily entered through
The door ajar
All set to grab you
The floor under my feet
Felt damp
Dusk, gathering its shadows

The question silently repeated
As silently as the stars that
Revealed themselves
On the fading sky

You turned your head
Standing one step
Outside the door
Your eyes twinkled
As those stars

Hope hoisted
A star-like flag…

You followed me to Texas.
You followed me to Utah.
We didn't find it there,
So we moved on.

You went with me to Alabam,
And things looked good in Birmingham.
We didn't find it there,
So, we moved on.

I know you're tired of following
My elusive dreams and schemes!
For they're only fleeting things'

You had my child in Memphis.
Then I heard of work in Nashville.
But we didn't find it there,

Now we've left Alaska,
'cause there was no gold there.
But this time,
Only two of us moved on.

Now all we have is each other,
And a little memory to cling to.
Still, you won't let me go'
Go on alone.

I know you're tired of following
My elusive dreams and schemes!
For they're only fleeting things'

Youth Got Mail

Her email was a bitter pill,
She was no more my friend,
I sat there mid a sudden chill
I thought would never end...
Her callous words ripped through my soul,
Like lightning bolts of death,
As if she'd lost all self-control
And so I held my breath...

I waited for a change of mind...
Was that her final dart?
Was there a second chance to find?
Perhaps a change of heart?
Then solemn days turned into weeks
And weeks turned into years,
Such that my heart no longer seeks
A sad return to tears...

So, I moved on, alone, of course,
Regrets to bear like scars
And though true love I'd once endorse,
Remorse makes that a farce...
The other day, I heard God's voice...
He whispered soft and low...
He said, 'My child, she made her choice...
It's time to let her go...'

Of course, I laughed at such advice,
The idea quite absurd,
But God gives time so we think twice
And then obey His word...
'O.K., ' I said, 'I set her free...
I pray You'll bless her still...'
That's when I felt the Lord touch me
To take away that chill...

Meant for each other

I felt it as if was meant for each other
World was not meant to be bothered
You were lying by my side
World seemed to be open and wide

You were only to whisper and confide
There was strong urge inside and flow of tide
You made a move with little space
The madness was on with race

The door was opening slowly
The act was perfect and holy
Body fully anchored with close bond
There was no thought for a second

It was not a simple game
Certainly holy and free from blame
You were under magic spell with intoxication
Surrendered with trust and approved with indication

Slowly melted as if heat was on
Closed eyes as fight was over and won
Lost in each other’s embrace with complete match
We became one in sense as if to become precious catch

New souls may be daily added
Love is not like commodity to be traded
Its fragrance is never faded
More and more couples joined to be wedded

It is nice acquaintance and prelude
Before you surrender and become nude
Not only cloth and dirt is thrown away
But everything unrelated is shown the way

It is nice to be closely aligned
Fully acknowledged and trustfully aligned
You can proudly claim it to be holier than holy
As everything is likely to be owned slowly

Descry

I stood in a grand wood alone
whispering to God upon his throne:
' Is it truly true
nothing is more powerful
than magnificent You? '
Then, I stood by the great ocean
and whispered to God:
'Can You hear me above the roar?
How will You find me,
my footprints have washed away all along the shore? '
Finally, I stood upon the highest mountain top
and whispered to God:
'Can you see me now,
the mere speck that I am,
even just a glimpse, somehow? '
No reply came.
Not in words
I could hear.
No powerful voice
loud and clear.
I waited
'til the end
of day.
Then quietly, alone,
I simply walked away.

On my way home
travelling into the dusk,
a desert I did pass through
with a quiet and lonely
darkened view.
Nothing moved,
not a sound.
Except, for the slightest breeze
whisper wonders my way,
through the tops of a few scraggly trees.
I stoped
I looked
I stood.
Amazed at this wind
passing by through the twisted and bent woods.
It was at that moment
in the darkness,
at the edge of desolation, among the lowly trees,
that I became fully aware,
God is everywhere, even right here next to me.

Love at First Sight

We met and let our eyes speak,
We meant to talk, but felt so weak.
'Was it love at first sight? ', I wondered,
'Was it just a mere idea? ', I murmured.
Then words helped us break the ice.
How lovely was the talk! How nice!
Time felt we stole His hours,
We felt time was just ours.
We knew we were meant to meet,
At such a time, in such a heat.
Soon I called her my better half,
Soon I tasted the joy of love.
We rushed to pledge for ever,
To rise to glory or fall together.
She meant the world to me and more
I meant no less with my little lore.
We were so happy and content,
To lead our life, and were so bent,
To stick together through thick and thin,
To tell the world our true love was no sin.
Love is when hearts soar to happiness,
Love is a cure for the heart's sickness.
For me and her love was, is and will be,
The air of this life and of the one to be.

Know Your Dreams

Claim you will not maim,
Those goals you have named to achieve.
No matter if your shoulders hold a heavy load...
Keep your motor fueled.
Don't be fooled by losers.
Wishing to melt away your 'cool'.

Keep that heat you've got,
Turned up and piping hot!
Don't let that boat you row spring a leak.
Or be stopped by a rocking that shocks...
Your eyes,
Away from the prize.
Keep alive,
Those dreams not meant to idle.

Claim,
You will not maim...
Those goals you have named to achieve,
Accomplish and to realize.

Keep alive your eyes and kept on the prize.
Know your dreams,
Are not meant just to idle.

Keep that heat you've got,
Turned up and piping hot!
And know your dreams,
Are not meant just to idle.

Keep alive your eyes and kept on the prize.
Know your dreams,
Can be achieved and realized.

Keep that heat you've got,
Turned up and piping hot!
And know your dreams,
Are not meant just to idle.

Keep alive your eyes and kept on the prize.
Know your dreams,
Can be achieved and realized.
They're not just yours,
To sit around and idle.

The First Poem

The first poem I ever read
is the first words I ever said.
The words I love you
written by this beauty's tongue
turned a heart rosy red from a somber blue
and made me burn for my heart was wrung.
The first poem I ever read
is the first poem I ever said.
On her poetic lips love words refined
and shaped a sonnet on her flesh defined
On those lips I read a poet's song
And knew it was there my lips belonged.
The first poem I ever read
is the first words I ever said.
I love you, I love you
What does it mean?
These words said, to start anew
something pure and something serene.
The first words I ever read
is the first words I ever said.
Those first words she whispered into my ear
And in my heart, her poem stood near
Those are the most beautiful words one ever said
I love you, I love you, will live till its dead.
The first poem I ever read
is the first words I ever said.
I read her lips, I love you, I love you..
now to sleep I go in love's sweet bed.

Love Is Truth

Love is truth, love is whole, if you love me, I give you my soul.

If it isn't meant to be, don't hesitate, you must live free, leave it to fate.

If you're seeking love, don't look straight, look beyond and above, you will find someone great.

I'm unable to understand, why I am so content, and at the same time, completely tormented.

When you are not near me, or in my arms, I start to feel pain, and become alarmed.

Are you alright, are you in pain, all I can think about, is keeping you from harms way.

There is so much left to learn, but so little left to do, You have fixed my heart, but all along you knew.

That I was in pain, I have to choose, as I have everything to gain, and nothing to lose.

You were all I ever wished, when I was thinking about you. I meant every word, when I said that love is true.

It's just not the same, without you in my arms, I keep repeating your name, and think of how you have been harmed.

If I could erase my past, and begin anew, there would nothing I would change, as I just wanted to be with you.

This can't be it, when you say that you love me, and I felt hurt, because I couldn't see.

That you did love me, you meant it all, You were everything to me, and now I can hear your call.

My heart is mending slowly, all thanks to you, I cannot thank you enough, for your love through and through.

I love the way you laugh, and your beautiful eyes, I love the way you smile, as calming as the skies.

I care about you so, and new beginnings start here, I can't thank you enough, you have me now dear.

Shes Gone

My woman is gone (woman is gone), my woman is gone (woman is gone).
She had left me a note hanging on my door:
She say she couldnt take it, she couldnt take any more.
The pressure around me - just couldnt see;
She felt like a prisoner who needs to be free.
Fools have tried, yeah - wisemen have failed:
Oh, listen to me, honey: life could never be another jail.
Still we know now: well never see smoke without fire
And everyone you see has a heart desire.
Shes gone (shes gone), shes gone (shes gone),
Shes gone (shes gone), shes gone, ye-ah!
Oh, mocking bird, have you ever heard,
Words that I never heard?
Oh, mocking bird, have you ever heard,
Words that I never heard?
She made it through the exit (she just couldnt take it);
She made it through the exit (she just couldnt make it).
And, oh, my children, if you see me cryin:
My woman is gone.
If you see me - if you see me - if you see me -
If you see me cryin -
If you see me - if you see me - if you see me -
If you see me cryin:
Shes gone (shes gone), shes gone (shes gone), shes gone, ye-ah!
Oh, mocking bird, have you ever heard,
Words that I never heard?
Oh, mocking bird, have you ever heard,
Words that I never heard?
Shes gone (shes gone), shes gone (shes gone), shes gone
(shes gone)

The Chornicles of a Dark Heart Part 12 Two Sides to Every Story

I dared to say those magic words ('I love you')
As people passed by in herds
you looked a little bit confused in our silence contest
But this is where the poem changes.. takes an unexpected turn
I guessed what you would say and that i would burn
But you didn't...? you smiled and you drew closer...
closer... thats how you glided forward and whispered to me 4 words
unlike my 3 words the ones that were spoken were like birds
I couldn't believe how happy i was...
I put my arms around you because
because those 4 words.... were 'I love you too'
are just what i needed to hear...
I silently knew my own thoughts for once! !
who knew the open book could read i knew that 'I loved you'

The Things You Say

Words
Said in a careless huff as you walked away
Hurt
Words
Said in a whispered excited voice
Caused electricity in me
Words
Said in a caring loving way
Were a balm for the wound in me
Words
Said in an angry menacing way
Felt like daggers thrown at me
Words
Said like sugary sweet morning due
Caused my knees to go weak
Words
Words, Words, Words..
Your words have so much power over me
Words
Said like a magic spell
Have enchanted me
Words
You throw around those words so carelessly
Do you know
Words
How they have been affecting and inflicting me..

Silence

I got a feeling
Everything's gonna be alright
And I still find my way
And I heard
It's always darkest before the storm
So come on let it rain
Everything was different when I was seventeen
The world was so much brighter
Now I finally found the truth
Of what they hid for me
That world was so much kinder
Silence
Don't hear a sound
But my own voice
Silence
Is what it is
By my own choice
I believe
That we were meant to learn from our mistakes
And stumble along the way
Now I know
That people are gonna grap what they can take
Then just turn away
Everybody's searching
But no one really knows the truth
The world is upside down
What it's all about right now
Will soon turn to gray
Their promises have faded
Silence
Silence
Silence
Don't hear a sound
But my own voice
Silence
Don't hear a sound
But my own voice
Silence
Is what it is
By my own choice
All my little merry friends
Have turned their backs on me
Excuse me if I'm jaded
I'm so tired of people telling me
How it should be
Their promises have faded
Silence
Silence
Silence
Don't hear a sound
But my own voice
Silence
Don't hear a sound
But my own voice
Silence
Is what it is
By my own choice
Silence

I mean you

Yes you, I have always meant you
Because you do not just go away
This time
Of my lonely hour you come like
A persistent dream that does not
Leave me, I ask
Why?
Yes, you, I have always meant you,
I know
It is not enough to say the words
You like to hear
I understand
It makes the difference when you
Touch my hand
Kiss my lips
Slide your hands in my pants
And feel me
There
I know more shall be demanded
When I say the words
You do not want them
You need me
In this hour of loneliness
Yes, you, I mean you
My love
I will hold you still even if
I am dead
Even if my spirit does not know what
Flesh is all about
Yes, you, I have always meant you
I cannot touch you now,
Let me whisper then
The words you want to hear
This time
It is not my mouth that will speak.

Sonnet: A Prayer to God

Amidst all chaos Lord, bring order God;
Amidst the darkness Lord, show me Thine light;
Amidst the atheism, give me Thine word;
Amidst my weakness show, Thine divine might.

Amidst life’s sultriness Lord, give me breeze;
Amidst the mire Lord, could Thou me pull?
Amidst life’s stresses Lord, give me mind’s peace;
Amidst the storms of life, give me a lull.

Amidst my despair Lord, give me new hope;
Amidst my temptations, God, let me win;
Amidst life’s hilly tracts, show me a slope;
Amidst my struggles Lord, let me not sin.

Amidst my foes and woes, show me haven;
Amidst my worldliness, give me Heaven.

Words

If I whispered words, would you hear them now?
Would you cross the deepest seas?
In the fiercest winds, on the burning trail,
Seal it with your word.
If I whispered words, would you keep a lie?
Would you promise me till time?
So if we grow old and the distance parts,
So seal it with your word.
Oh, Ill scream upon the hill,
So, you can hear me still.
Now, will we ever fade?
I seal it with my word.
If I whispered words, would you hear them now?
Would you cross the deepest seas?
In the fiercest winds, on the burning trail,
Seal it with your word.
