Though't that I'm sending...


Breaking away
Searching anew
Looking for answers
Finding a few
Knowing the question
Before it is asked
Knowing the outcome
The purpose now masked
Amazed in a problem
The solution yet found
Hearing the music
The query of sound
Philosophy of learning
Quest for to know
Inquiry of manners
Answers come slow
Purpose of living
Always never ending
Constant for now
Thoughts that I'm sending

My Delusion




My delusion is a conclusion
I have reached on my own

A fantastic illusion
Of my thoughts now reformed

Is this an intrusion
Into the pristine where I live

Or the energy of fusion
meant to forgive

My mind runs in confusion
As the hours pass by

A reality of deep erosion
That won't let me fly

I need an infusion
To break free from my chain

Is this simple delusion
Perhaps, I am really insane...

Eyes of Beauty




Beauty in an Angels face
Formed in God’s marvelous time

Prepared for times, just as these
Born in concert from a time long ago

When beauty resided in the soul
And sparkled in the eye of kindness

 A ghost from antebellum past
Spirit that soars in the brightness of a smile

Walking angelic, delightful carnality
Formed to please the eyes

 O peace to all who touch her path
And see the eyes of beauty, in an Angel’s face.

Black Birds

  
Why old Black Bird, do you live?
Among the beauty, of Dove and Swans
Why do you burden, those peaceful birds?
With your fowl songs

Squawks and screeches, never would be heard
If to flight, those big black wings
Would right now, fly far away
From where the kindly bird sings

Why don’t you leave, this restful pond?
And escape their lovely sight
Take those songs, and big black wings
Take them all to flight

I can’t, I can’t, with squawking beak
Said, Black Bird to the Dove
I won’t, I won’t, in screeching tones
For it is you I love

I know I’m not, as beautiful as these
That rest upon this pond
But who will notice, the beauty of Swans
 If all, the Black Birds are gone.

Half Hearted



To the one with half a heart
Perhaps, maybe smaller pieces
Those who've given some to all
With aching , that never decreases
Once to live with only one
convinced of no one other
Now the pain of conscience split
With two , and one another
Why to test , what was rare
A love that was so pure
Fragments now, of 
broken hearts
Scattered and shattered for sure
Is there a remedy , meant to heal
To quench and release this sorrow
Well, maybe hearts are meant to break
And love a gift to borrow......







Old poem, but I needed to republish it today...

I found you there.... Visiting Carnton Plantation here in Franklin I found the name of a confederate soldier from South Carolin...
