That Last "Goodnight"

From the day of one's birth

There's no concept of time,one know's not where they're headed,nor what they'll leave behind

Their journey is but a brief one,with no guarantees in life

From the dawn of their beginning,

Til that last "goodnight"

Tis an existence

Of many hills and valleys,many lessons

for one's soul

Til that last "goodnight",a struggle,of which one has no control

Life is never fair,neither unfair

You should know,tis but a lesson for our spirit

Enabling us to grow

So rejoice with your hills,take your valleys with stride

Remember, life's a gift

Where no guarantees abide

Mother Earth

Winds o'er the meadows,which bristles in the bright sunshine
          Wild flowers blowing,joining this beautifully windy chime
              New life is flourishing,a gorgously new creation
        Mother earth is so inspired,as we watch with great anticipation

Though man has harmed her greatly,as for his selfish needs,he explores

With disdain for her beauty,does he destroy

Whilst earth's climate is changing.

Man's damage is wide ranging,the profit he so desires

Burning his world,maybe much beyond repair

Can there be,but a new day dawning

Where man ,with all his "genus",in his faults, he may soon be drowning

When mother earth retaliates,man's fate may be at stake

His world,he has so damaged

The ability to sustain life,mother earth may soon,be unable to manage.

tis only

This Question of Life

This Question of life

A need of which,one must suffice

A longing,a seeking of knowledge

This quest by man

A need,he cannot admonish

Man's search for purpose

His need to know,the powers of life

From whence do they flow

Is there such a power

An all "knowing - being"

A great master plan,giving life meaning

As man has purged

Through the portals of time

A search,seeming futile

A life,he cannot define

Is this knowledge not his destiny

Is he not to know

This beauty of life

Of which,he has no control

I say,accept this great gift

Treasure it so

There may be but one chance

Of this,we may never know

All these poems are beautiful, THANK YOU BOTH.

Death,A journey of life

Death appears so ominous

An ending to a life,as we now know

The thoughts of it all passing

The earthly treasures,we adore

Yet,could it not be a new beginning

A new challenge for our soul

Another notch in our "belt"

A new lesson,allowing us to grow

For life is but a stage

For our spirit to expand

To prepare us for death's journey

So vital to the soul of man

Life's Lessons

When one embarks upon this journey of life

One shall, through out theyears, encounter much strife

The obstacles will be many more,than one at times can bear

But the rewards will be plentiful,if one would, but not despair

Life is but a classroom for our souls to retrieve

The many lessons in this world,our soul shall receive

And there shall be good,as well as the bad,as will the times we shall also be sad

Thus shall come the times upon which we may grieve

As well as the lessons of love,our souls shall so desperately need

We must accept this precious gift of life

As well, the lessons that shall accompany the strife

Tis lessons so important to ones's soul,as upon its journey,it must go

As it continues on its restless path,when our time on earth shall end ,at last

Ok,I'm not a poet or a wriiter but here goes!

"The Legend of knott+ shott

Knott and Shott fought a duel,Knott was shot,and Shott was not..............it was better to be Shott then Knott!

What I'd Like From You!

I'd like you to be the final missing piece of my happiness that makes me feel complete! I'd like you to be there for all my tomorrows to come...to walk beside me, behind me or ahead of me when you know the way! I'd like you to accept me as I am... with all my imperfections. I'd like you to accept the fact that we won't always agree...that we will argue to prove a point! But I'd like you to know I didn't fight against you my darling, only for what I felt was right. I'd like you never to keep score as to who won, who lost, never hold anger.

I'd like you to show me once we have set aside a disagreement, that you still love me as much then...as you have in the past, and even more in the future. I'd like you to never turn your back to me when we lay in our bed, that you will never raise your hand in anger, or use words you know will crush my heart! I'd like you to be understand that sometimes I may feel blue, and that even I may not know why. Just be there to hold me and comfort me, and help me through it all. I'd like you to share your kisses, hugs, and the softly whispered "I love you darling" as often as you can...but I want it to be whispered sincerely, not because you feel you have too. I'd like to know that no matter what I may do wrong, you will be forgiving.

I'd like evening walks, walks in the rain, sunsets enjoyed best when we watch the velvet sun dip beyond the horizon as we kiss! I'd like you to show an interest in what I enjoy, what I am creative in. I'd like to hear your compliment now and then for what I have worked hard to do. It may seem unimportant to you, just a little thing I've done, but my love, to feel you noticed and took the time to notice means the world to me. I'd like you to take my breath away and fill our bedroom with my softest sighs because I give my love, my heart and my soul to only you!

I'd like you to surprise me now and then with a love note hidden where I least expect it, or flowers for no other purpose but to show me "I was on your mind"! I'd like you to be all you can be and I promise that if you fell short of success, not only would I understand, but my arms would be waiting to hold you! I'd like you to remember that we are a team...and that regardless of the challenge facing us, we face it as a team, never alone. I'd like most to know in my heart that you feel you chose the right person to love you, that no wall will come between us, that life truly does feel wonderful when we have someone special in our life. I'd like you to believe as I do, that a relationship is a reflection of the effort two people put into the life they share together.

The Things I Love The Most!

I love the way your kiss is gentle

the way your lips linger

I love the way your arms embrace

my body, as my heart races

I love the way your eyes wander

to all your favorite parts

Making me feel I am so much

more then I feel I am

I love the way we cuddle like two

spoons when we are in bed

And as I feel you kiss my back I

know I'll be in your dreams

I love the way you wake me up

and I love the way you smile

You smile with sure a playfulness

I too can't help but smile

I love the way you think of me and

it's almost like you can read my mind

Omg, the list could go on and on my

darling because you hold my heart

You hold my heart tenderly, and with

it you hold all of my dreams

I love it when we are passing each other

and you stop and whisper you love me

It is those three simple words that every

day in every way makes me believe in love

Because when two people share true love

they can pass each of life's tests

I want you to know my darling that in return

for all you have given me I promise this

I promise to try to be all you have dreamed

that I would become to you

It's Time To Cuddle!

When the mornings rays of daylight

peeked through the window

We got up to have breakfast and I

saw you peek outside the curtain

You waved at me hurriedly to come

and see what the storm left behind

I looked over your shoulder and I

held you in my arms lovingly

I kissed your neck so invitingly as

I whispered "come back to bed

Let's just stay in bed and love the

day away in each other's arms"

You turned around and smiled as

I looked into love swept eyes

I have never felt like I was lost in

a lover's kiss before I kissed you

Hand in hand we walked back to

the bedroom as I heard you giggle

Perhaps it was the anticipation of

all my warm lips would share

Snuggled close under the sheet, we

kicked off the blankets

Inspite of the bitter cold outside we

were warm, content and happy

Love is meant to feel magical and

it's the affection shared between two

That replaces stress with a feeling

we mean the world to each other

I Still Get Lost In Your Eyes!

Whether I'm walking thru the door

at the end of a long day

Or walking into a room where I see

you sitting there, glancing up

I see your smile, and at that moment

as I look into your pretty eyes

I am lost withing your soul and I'm

making my way to your side

You've never had to ask to be hugged

to be touched or feel my kiss

Because I love you just as deeply now

as that first night we became one

You treat me with kindness and you've

never tried to become my boss

You listen, you compromise, you also

forgive me when I make mistakes

Everything wish I wish on a night full

of stars can be summed up easily

Just be kind to me, never let a problen

become a wedge between us

In return my love, I will never let you

feel that I've taken you for granted

In all I do each day I hope to let you

feel that our love is renewed

How Can I Express To You Darling?

How can I express in a poem or letter what it's like to make love to you? You

make that special moment as wonderful as firworks in the sky! Your touch is

addictive, and with each stroke of your finger tips, with each lingering kiss

shared, I feel lost! Your eyes whisper everything I need to hear at that exact

moment. You make me fele wanted, desired, and I know that whether we

are together or apart, I'm on your mind! You are my one sanctuary where

the stresses of the world are left behind.

You curl my toes my darling, and my hands instinctively reach for you! We are

as one heart, one body, one soul and the sweetest part of making love darling,

is drifting off to sleep in each other's arms. I have never had to beg once to be

touched, to be pleased, or just to be held as you rocked me in your arms. You

know what I need, and it is your unselfishness that makes love and every breath

I take worth taking. I could never express in a poem or a story all the delicious

emotions or desires that swirl around within me when I am being held.

Though I don't say "I love you enough, sweetheart", but I say it countless times

to you with my smile, my eyes, my touch and my love swept kiss that hopes to

last forever. I feel blessed to know that it wasn't easy for you to take that

chance and let me in. In truth, I was as scared as you, not wanting to be set

up for disappointment.But you took your time and made me feel we were

taking "baby steps"...just fast enough for some reassurance that we were worth

the risk!

We've learned that neither of us have to be a boss! Neither has to control. We

can share this walk through life for all of our tomorrow's to come at each other's

side. And if you have to lead, or I have to walk ahead of you, neither of us is

insecure or jealous. It is the team work partnership that offers you and I the

best that we can offer and share between each other. For that, I feel truly

blessed. You accept me for my faults and imperfections and you don't see them

as a reason to turn against me. In return I accept the same in you.

I can't look into a crystal ball my love and see how many tomorrows life has in

store for us. Seriously, I would be afraid to find out. I would rather believe we

have till the end of time, instead of learning the date you or I will pass away.

I want to focus on today, and make this day as memorable as possible. I want

to celebrate each new success or accomplishment you achieve. I want to

console you if you fall short of a goal. I want to wipe away a tear, and

reassure you that I still love you with all my heart.

If we lost everything tomorrow, and had nothing but the clothes on our back...

I would never leave you. We would struggle, every day I am sure, just to have

a bit of self-esteem, but when your eyes grew weary and it was time to sleep,

you would be held within my loving arms. I hope that day of hardship never

comes. Though the world has come to see that events like Hurricane katrina

can strike unexpectedly and sometimes, a couple has nothing left but each

other.

I can't waste my time worrying about the unexpected what if's that life can

suddenly spring onto us. Life is just too short. What I can do though...is to

make sure that you know you aren't alone...that what you say and feel has

worth! I will always look in your direction with that "Come and get me look"!

I will never pass you in the hallway without the need to squeeze you playfully.

I will never let a day go by without whispering you are all I have dream and

hope to find as my mate.

I will always be eager to release your sigh when the candles by our bed show

me the sparkle in your eyes. I want to know that I am who you dream of when

you sleep, and when we are apart. Never change my love...stay as loving, as

compassionate and as forgiving as you are now. In return, I will do my best to

continue to help you feel that through thick and thin, hard times and bad, that

you are loved!

Your postings are beautiful Raymond, thanks again for sharingthem with us.

That's a lovely poem Phil, thanks for sharing it with us too.

TEMPEST

<o:p> </o:p>

(Translated from the Spanish)

<o:p> </o:p>

Heaven heaves a mighty sigh;

The great oaks bow and quake;

The ground billows into clouds

With the smell of hot and dry.

<o:p> </o:p>

Birds are forced into silence;

The impetuous clouds furiously lash on

Devouring everything in sight

And building a blinding wall.

<o:p> </o:p>

The sands before them flee;

Mouths and nostrils are choked.

The cry is out to beware--

The ground in anger rises!

Nat Faul; 1974

Don't Just Say You Love Me!

Please don't tell me you love me
let me know through your smile
Let me feel I'm always welcome
to share what is on my mind

Let me hear the voice that makes
me smile, that makes me blush
Knowing that your arms are eager
to hold me, to caress me

Let your eyes tell me that you can
tell when I am feeling sad
Show me without words that you
will listen to what is on my mind

Let your fingers stroke my skin in
the most sensual of ways
Make me float on clouds of ectstacy
look at me with love swept eyes

In all you do, in all I feel just be kind
to me, Please I beg with all my heart
Because happiness must be my destiny
it must, I don't want to be alone
