Rain Tonight

Posted at 02:24 AM on February 06, 2010

Yes, it is raining again. I think I am deciding to stop posting my poetry here. I will think about it. Hmm. That might make this a common instead of an uncommon blog...could be.


Her hands held rose petals

that floated from her

wherever she walked

like scented butterflies

awakening

enligtening

enchanting


She wore gold bangles

around her wrists,

and silver bells

around her ankles

that played melodies

as she walked

through forests and meadows

and steely city streets


A soft grey elephant

followed her everywhere

She fed it gummy bears

and caressed its big flapping ears

and it gazed at her

with lovestruck eyes


Small fat children

ran after her laughing

and she laughed back

and that was the way

of her beautiful beautiful life.


(well...maybe tomorrow I will stop writing poety & prose here...)

Oh my sweet child

Oh my sweet child
You are so fair
as you look upon me,
I feel the love
I feel the desire.

Fill my heart!
Fill it with the sound of your sweet voice
Fill it with the touch of your soul,
the essence of you.
Surrender your heart to mine
For I have already given mine to you.

Breathe my joy
for you have touched my soul!
Fill my heart again and again
So i may hear, feel and know you.

Oh my sweet child........
What beauty God has bestowed upon me!

I know that lady.

Don't leave us only in prose.
We need the rose.

The gummy bears can go though.

I'm feeling very elephant today.

Hi Ruthie, Thanks for sharing your poetry. There is a lot of love there in your words & the meaning behind them. I won't stop writing poetry. That's not possible. My life is poetry. I just meant I stop writing it here on this open & public blog. Then again...we'll see what the future brings!
