Red Hearts And Roses

Red Hearts And Roses

Remember the day of the sweetheart dance
We were shy, so in love and full of romance

We had many hidden secrets, just you and I
It was Valentines day as you winked an eye

Our picture was made, we looked so grown up
We shared tea parties, danced with the buttercups

You stole my heart in that precious moment of time
We never thought our love would last for a life time

These years have slid by, I look back to this very day
Red hearts and roses, a sweet puppy love meant to stay

A Place Called Home

Our simple farm life was a place to call home
White cotton fields and our cattle could roam

A weather beaten house made by daddy’s hands
In the rich soil of the Missouri harsh flat lands

We counted our blessings with God’s tender care
Through many hard days of learning how to share

The old house had its roots to the country living
There were hopes and dreams and love is giving

The family grew and soon left the nest called home
A place that welcomes its visitors now Mom’s alone

When weather changes
Mid winter dream awaken
Spring doors are knocking

Timeless Love

Love beckon us alone on the sand
Our kisses are wild in no mans land
We dance on the beach in the twilight
Making love on the shore through the night

Our hearts pounded like heavens rain
Our dreams are made free of any pain
A timeless beauty was our only gain
Loving each moment in a private domain

The ocean lies silent to become so still
A loving captures our destiny a love to steal
Webbing ourselves into each others arms
The calm ocean so lifeless is our charm

Spring Tanka Poem

Beneath winter snow
Spreading the youth anew
Coverlet of white

Riches upon earth
God’s blessing to bestow
Awaiting for spring

Valentine

Our moon dances through the twilight
Lovers dreams to capture us at night
Your arms embrace me into morning light
You cradle my world in a heavenly sight

You throw your kisses in a cupid surrender
As you take my breath away in sweet splendor
Be my valentine on this very special day
Entwine my heart to be loved this way

Send me a card with sweet wine from the vine
Velvet roses make my valentine so fine
Dreams are a wonder for this lovely man of mine
I take that I do love him on this lovely valentine

Winter Sunset Tanka Poem

Mother goose up above
Shaking cloudy white wings
Downward falls the snow

Evening sunset below
Horizon cast reflection
Prefect color view

Poetic Senses

In a private life, it began with me always with an
absence of reasoning to personalize myself.
My qualification didn’t seem to be self-important,
time had control to weaken the mind, it was no doubt.
A perfect solution to fit into society, to join the crowd
outside, to walk along, not hide from my own self.
A concealment fills no freedom, in a secret confinement,
heart and soul is a turning point, to see what life is about.
I am what I am, that is the way God made me, a human
being, equal to another in a beautiful life, to be my friend.
When I can believe in me and love myself as God wants,
the punishment will be over, I will understand in the end
Inside the wall of life are my poetic senses where dream 
Comes true these are with me for the reward as it may seem

Stolen Moments

In our surrounding there's pleasure
Alone in our stolen moments tonight.
For two heart with tender love to find
Each other in the romantic twilight

There’s a moon that shows up above
It looks so special with all the stars
The hands of time will bring in day
We will spend our evenings from afar

Mid Nights Bells Couplet

The young newly weds was at the hotel.
When the ringing of the mid night bells.

Wind Haiku

Freezing rain of cold
The wind whispering dixie
Chattering snow birds
