October Poetry Writing Month, Day Four: Florets Float Through

Sorry folks. I've having a sick day today (bad allergies), so I'm going to have to "phone it in" for today. The poetic form I used was a Rondelet.

Florets Float Through

Florets float through
How gently do they float on by
Florets float through
Set free by dear wishes of mine
Those silly little dreams of old
That someday your heart I will hold
Florets float through

September in the Rain (With Memories) - NaPoWriMo, Day 1

So NaPoWriMo had begun and I begin the month with a headache, hindering the creative process.I did not want the day to pass without writing a poem so I decided to write a Triolet inspired by a Gypsy Jazz instrumental version of "September in the Rain." Enjoy. :-)

September in the Rain (with Memories)
 
September in the rain with memories
You walk with me and take my hand
We walk along The Champs-Élysées
September in the rain with memories
You hold me close as the rain falls gently
A stolen moment for us, a time once grand
September in the rain with memories
You walk with me and take my hand

Wings of Love

This sonnet was written around 2005, and was inspired by a painting that I had seen online. I hope to locate it so I can post it.


Wings of Love

Flying on the wings of love
Away into the sky with you
We can soar the Heavens above
Over the clouds I'll fly with you

Knowing that you'll never let me fall
Trust will take us to higher heights
With love and trust we'll have it all
In darkness it will be our light

Taking a chance with you I'll see
As your love takes me on a high
How wonderful love can truly be
Until death we are parted by

On the wings of love together
Where love can take us high forever

Come With Me

One of my earlier poems that I had written in 2001 when I was nineteen. I call this my "daydream poem."

Come With Me

Another morning has come and the night is through

Still the same old things going on there’s nothing new

I’m thinking of getting away and I’d love your company

So won’t you take my hand and come with me

Wouldn’t you like to stop seeing the same kinds of things go on day after day?

Wouldn’t you like to, just for a while, get away?

I want to share these plans with you, you see

So won’t you take my hand and come with me?

We can leave for just a day or we can leave forever

We could leave for as long as you want just as long as we are together

We can go far away and forget about the troubles that lie in our minds

To get to wherever we want to go we can take our time

I could lay beside you and we could look at the stars and talk the night away

Or if you don’t feel like talking we could just sit and watch the night turn to day

We can go where we want do what we want to do see what we want to see

We can do all of this and more if you’ll take my hand and come with me

We could go to a place where we could be on our own

We could go to place where everyone else could leave us alone

We could get lost in our journey as we walk hand in hand

I could hold you as we fall asleep under the stars on the sand

We could leave our cares behind and together every moment we could spend

We’ll have so much fun and we’d wish it would never end

Wouldn’t you like to make all of my wishes a reality?

Wouldn’t you like to take my hand and come with me?
