this book of expressions

to

My Beloved

Virisa Anne Cohen – Peters

4 July 1957 ~ 2 July 2006

And my 11 Children of Love

 Welcome to my world

A world with limitless possibilities

Where there are no restrictions nor restraints

All dreams are honored in the infinite sense

There is no quota restrictions on how much you can love

Exploration and discovery is as you please

You can paint your own skies as you like

Sunshine
Stars
Moons
Planets
Rainbows
Clouds

What ever colors you desire.

Why you can even make your own Galaxies and Solar Systems.

All it takes is your thought and it will be so !

Come for a visit . . . no bodies required . . .

. . . just your consent to dream freely

. . . and LOVE !

 Challenges

Some People
Look at challenges
They see Tribulations
And they say I CAN’T !

Some People
Look at challenges
They see Possibilities
And they say I’ll TRY !

Some People
Look at challenges
They see Triumph
And they say I Will !

All People
Look at challenges
All people see something
All people enjoy
The Fruits of their Labor !
 Minds . . .

Small minds talk about people

Average minds discuss places and things

Exceptional minds speak of ideas

. . . but dreamers determine the course of mankind !

 ~ dreams ~

reach out and touch the sky

then we ask our self why
do our dreams doth fly
and when will they ever land

for dreams are fueled by hope

with dreams this life we cope
let not our heart elope
please reach and take my hand

may all your dreams be true

for I believe in you
as you must also do
then you’ll understand

our dreams are life's gift

to help us make the shift
and our souls we now can lift
for that is the Master’s plan
 finding grace

you can reach out your hand

to help some one
you can stand by them
‘til the battle’s won

you can wrinkle your face

to make a smile
with a laugh from the heart
that knows not guile

you can look at them

straight in the eye
you can share a tear
when others cry

you can lift them up

whenever they fall
when there is a need
you answer the call

when another’s empty

you fill theirs up
if they have not one
you give them your cup

if you should falter

just try once again
and you’ll find grace
and a loving friend

 awaken . . .

Do we really want to awaken

Could we really stand the truth
We are mentally enslaved
From our days of youth

Our spirits misdirected

One against another
Yet in still we use
Words like you’re my Brother

Yes brothers in the bondage

Producing for the machine
A blend of Joys and Sadness
The truth is rarely seen

Propaganda and lies

Are fed to us each day
With singularity in purpose
To keep us in the way

Pitted against one and all

Through Dogmas of every kind
Religion, Politics, Gender, Color
Makes real truth hard to find

But some continue seeking

While some just give up
Never know that they did
Never drink from the cup

So we must be ever vigilant

And not give way to despair
For the day of glory is coming
And we are the heir

For we pay the dues

In each day and night
Children of the Universe
In love we must unite

We must remove the blinders

To see things as they are
For each of us know the truth
We are love’s shining Sta
 ~ * ~ if i were a Rainbow ~ * ~

if i were a Rainbow
of colors fair
i'd glow for you
my loving care
if i were a Rainbow
i'd leave my arc
to hold your hand
for a walk in the park
if i were a Rainbow
after the rain
i'd stay forever
abolish your pain
if i were a Rainbow
colors, promise and gold
would all be yours
as love doth unfold
if i were a Rainbow
i'd dance for you
in the light of your beauty
loving you true
if i were a Rainbow
dancing in the air
transmute for you
hope for despair
if i were a Rainbow
i'd be there when you cried
behind all tears are rainbows
you’d see me if you tried
if i were a Rainbow
i'd sing to you this song
i'd hold your heart forever
to you i would belong
all of us have rainbows
buried deep inside
let your rainbow shine
this truth can not hide
See The Rainbow

humbly dedicated to “Blue” . . .“ where Blue Birds Fly ”

 let us dance . . .

let us dance
to the rhythms of life
the colors of the rainbow
dance away our strife

let us dance
to the joy that laughter brings
listen to the song
of the love our soul sings

let us dance
to the dreams we have of bliss
it is ours to have, it’s here
it may take but one kiss

let us dance
a dance of loving care
sharing our heart with another
makes our hearts so dear

let us dance
dance ‘til we dance no more
the dance of faith the dance of love
opens that very magic door

let us dance
 ~ * ~ I’d ~ * ~

i'd walk to the end of the earth

that i might have one kiss
my heart is your ocean of love
an endless and deep abyss

i'd count each breath to eternity

if i could spend it with you
mindfully sharing each moment
entwined, entangled and true

i'd build a house of dreams for you

upon the cosmos of hope
our hearts embrace joys of love
and one grace be our scope

i'd hold your hand ‘til heaven comes

your darkness i'd defeat
i'd be your angel, i'd be your wings
together we’d be compleat

 life journey

as we take this life journey

a journey to the light
many times we will stumble
as we try to get it right

but it really doesn’t matter

the things that we get wrong
as long as we keep on marching
to the beat of this life’s song

for life is so forgiving

each failure does enhance
our abilities to learn
as we take another chance

for growth comes not by swiftness

or he who resolves to quit
just keep being in the moment
and make the best of it

so keep your dream and focus

on that which you believe
and be a loving being
and oneness you’ll achieve

“ One Love . . . One God ”

 duality

duality of thoughts
duality of life
they go together
like husband and wife

supposedly as one
yet often estranged
that is the purpose
to keep us deranged

it’s part of the program

a dominion to maintain
oscillating realities
diminishing the sane

examine quite carefully

what you perceive
with a finite eye
what you believe

~ wsp ~
 I will remember you . . .

do you remember
when we use to play
in the Gardens of the Stars
picking and planting
as we choose ?

do you remember
the Cosmic Sandbox
where we built
Solar Castles
and . . .
Limitless Dreams ?

do you remember
skipping across the Galaxies
and . . .
playing Hop Scotch
across Time Continuums ?

do you remember
Creating Planets
that we could play Marbles
with the Father ?

do you remember
swimming in the Nebula Oceans
and diving in the
Plasmic Pools of eternity ?

do you remember ?
I Am . . . Thou Art

I'll lift you up

I’ll carry you
when times are dark
I’ll see you through

for . . .

I Am the One
who loves you most
in ocean’s storms
I’ll be you coast

I’ll hold your hand

and lead you on
I’ll hold you near
‘til tears are gone

I’ll put a smile

upon your heart
for I’m your Father
I will not part

so trust in Me
I can not fail
all but I ask
you read your mail

for . . .

I have been calling

and writing too
with a message
just for you

I love you my child

despite your ways
and I am with you
all nights and days

I’ll put that smile

back in your heart
you must believe
I Am . . . Thou Art.
~ * ~ love addict ~ * ~

I must admit . . .
I am an addict . . .
I like getting high . . .

On Love !

~ won’t you join me ? ~

 Loved one gone . . .

there is a place
where the Angels walk
where Love is One
no need for talk

I am in God’s hand
You know this true
I just stopped to say
I still love you

don’t worry for me

i am in bliss
I love you mom
I send you my kiss
 if i had a garden . . .

if i had a garden
i’d would plant new seed
awaiting new growth
a gardener’s creed

if i had a garden
i’d work with the soil
with Mother Nature
together we’d toil

if i had a garden
i’d water it you see
and the heavenly tears
would assist me

if i had a garden
i’d pull all the weeds
for weeds choke growth
and dastardly deeds

if i had a garden
i’d embrace it with love
so warm and caring
like the sun from above

if i had a garden
i’d continually prune
that which is errant
for harvest comes soon

if i had a garden
i’d ever be diligent
for a bountiful harvest
is a life well spent

i do have a garden
it’s here within my heart
my fruit is your fruit my friend
in oneness we can start . . .

. . . a new garden !
 ~ * ~ forgiveness ~ * ~

vengeance is the Lorde’s

for that is His role
the lack of forgiveness
is what condemns my soul

as we hold wrongs within

diminishing our light
clipping our wings
that gives us flight

we soil our own dreams

removing clarity
can not see our paths
the trail to verity

so we stumble blindly
going that way and this
carrying a burden
that prevents our own bliss

so unbuckle the yoke

remove forgiveness’ chains
embrace the heart of love
let us begin again
 free verse for free hearts

as my spirit dances across the rainbows of your love

the colors of your heart embraces my dreams
yes, they give credence to my being
. . . for my steps are sure.

as I skip from cloud to cloud,

you whisper my name . . .
and your words caress my desires into passion.

i reach for you and you smile

turning your light on within me.
i become the Sun giving life to all I touch
and all i touch bear seeds of hope and grace . . .
that I gather for the sowers of the fields of dreams of love

loving rainbows, light and love . . . in you.

 Father who am i

Father who am i
what is my name
why no one calls it
is it one of shame
Father who am i
i seem so lost
like a row upon the wave
with each wind i am tossed
Father who am i
what is pulling me inside
every time i see light
why do i run and hide
Father who am i
will you give me sight
that i may see your truth
rid my soul of plight
Father who am i
am i really very grand
how can i be when there are so many
many grains of sand
Father who am i
i am below and you are above
all i really want
is your embrace and your love
Father who am i
in spiritual quest i roam
trying to find
my way back home
Father who am i
i know i really know
it’s this pocket full of seeds
you sent me here to sow
Father who am i
i find you in all i see
i taste, i touch, i feel, i think
Father who am i you decree

~ * ~ Father who am I ? ~ * ~
 ~ * ~ Grounded Angel ~ * ~

if i prune my wings . . .
that i might not fly again . . .
will i not be with those others . . .
who can not at this time . . .

can i not remind them of the stories of grandeur

that i might impart hope
to these Souls of My Father . . .
that they too can believe . . .
that they still can fly . . .

i must be here on the ground

that i might . . .

give hope . . . not show off

encourage . . . not boast

lift up . . . not look down

i have not fallen,

. . . no . . .
i have elected to ground myself.

Some day we shall all fly again . . .

. . . together !
One Truth . . . One Love

i go to the garden
of Sacred Seed sown
and observe the blossom
of the known

and truth cannot

deny itself
for in it’s void
lies all wealth

as we submit
unto the abyss
a fathom of love
the purest of bliss

no longer i fight
Soul of the True
that doth resides
in me and you

One Truth . . . One Love

 i fall in love

i fall in love in a heart beat

i fall in love in a blink
i fall in love too easily
all it takes is a wink

or a smile or a gesture
for flattery i am vain
misguided you say, i say not
just let me try to explain

‘tis better to believe in love

and see it at every turn
for life can never have too much love
so why should i discern

so it may be but delusion

that i myself deploy
but for that brief moment
two souls knew of joy

but should we get unlucky

and love begets defiled
i shant, i shall not ever complain
for i had love for a while

for any love’s better than none at all

we all know this be true
the color of love matters not
even if it’s blue

so we must fall in love often

and let our hearts live free
practice love at every turn
and love will always be

 Sacred Whisper . . .

i went to a place where Whispers are Sacred

and truths are not what One seems
atop of the mountain there was a Song Bird
who voiced a melody of dreams

i uttered my request for but a verse

but instead i was given a few
as my heart and my soul danced to the rhythm
and my eye did twinkle anew

so i sat and pondered this divine gift

and i looked in the chasm of grace
the essence imparted made me soar
as i looked upon my Sacred Angel’s face

but now she is gone, but not really so

there’s a treasure she did impart
a few moments shared yielded eternity
as i embrace the gift of her heart.

. . . Sacred Whisper
 seeking light

are you searching for something

are you seeking the light
perhaps we’re not in darkness
perhaps we just lack sight

for there is a light within us

one that’s never out
if i could but find it
and bask away my doubt

i diligently seek it’s presence

through faith i know i’ll find
the eternal burning bush
that enlightens the “One” mind

so this is my life’s journey

from which i’ll never part
the secret to the light i seek
is within my heart

but what good is a light

if not in darkness shared
give your light to all of life
and live as if you cared

and that’s the final edict

commandment number One
love all that is for All is God
and know “Thy Will Be Done”
 Self

There was a time when I was not Happy with My Self

So I had a Long, Hard look at My Self
I decided I needed to Change My Self
Most importantly the Image Of My Self
Especially the Image I had of My Self
So I began the Self Improvement of My Self
So That I could be Happy with My Self
As I Dug Deeper within My Self
I really started to Find My Self
When I really began to Discover Myself
I realized That it was quite Difficult to change My Self
Oh, for a little while I Fooled My Self
Into Believing I was Someone Other than My Self
The I realized I had to Deal with Myself
So I began to acknowledge My Self
Then came the Realization of My Self
Then I accepted My Self
I even came to like My Self
Because I was Stuck with My Self
Because I was Blessed with My Self
Because I was Encouraged by My Self
Because I was Loved By My Self
In the Discovery of My Self
I really found My Self
My True Self within My Self
The True Love Of My Self
Resided in HIM
 One Heart . . . One Mind

it was a fine Spring day

but it was all in his mind
the illusion he created
were one of a kind

but it mattered him not

for it served his life well
for he knew he had
a story to tell

life is what you make it

a very personal thing
as your God you choose
to cry or to sing

you can even choose

the light or the dark
or embrace the whole
and let your journey embark

for a one footed walk

is not a walk at all
for if you choose to hop
greater chances the fall

i am my creator
now that i know this
that partial ignorance
tastes not the bliss

so i choose the beauty

and loving to be
and it matters naught
if delusions i see

for there’ll come a time

we’ll all be blind
by the love of life
found in One Heart . . . One Mind !
 Sunday

Today is Sunday,
a day of rest.
The six before,
I gave my best.

So I take this day,

for the God of myself,
to meditate and reflect,
for my spiritual health.

I worry not for tomorrow,

for Monday will come,
and once again,
I’ll march to the drum.

So I take my leave,
I think I’ll not bother,
for this is the day
I’ll dance with my Father.
 My Paradise

a place of no worries
no suffering nor pain
where all of the occupants
are loving and sane

no dark inhibitions
where love is not chance
where all hear the music
all willing to dance

all people have smiles

the children of laughter
where life is about
the happily here after

where gardens are full

of fruit so so sweet
sunshine and butterflies
our heavenly treat

all hearts are full

with joys of the day
through the nights of bliss
we continue to play

yes this is my vision

my paradise you see
no cost for nothing
for all love is free

. . . welcome !
 for Natasha . . .

i have a good friend

each morn feeds me love
she touches my dreams
with wings of a Dove

with each new morn

i go to the East
to return to the table
for her delivered feast

she comes unabashed

with a new day’s soft heart
as i digest her whispers
beckoning my art

i listen intently
as she stokes my fires
for she sees all to well
my deepest desires

she speaks my truth

that were never told
each day i witness
as the vision unfolds

she paints me pictures

that i may see
just how i can
be a greater me

she says she’s my mirror

askew with a blur
but ‘tis only God’s wonder
reflected in her

for she is a flower

in my garden so fair
each morn i thank God
that she shares my air

she even takes time

to feed the Gulls of the Sea
i know in her heart
that’s the way it should be

she is so special
and so full of grace
perhaps some day
i will look upon her face

but for now . . .

i have not the means

to look in her eyes
so i wrote this poem
as a special surprise
 resurrection

My God, My God, My Father

why hast thou forsaken me
what did He mean by that
just what did Jesus see ?

Was it a moment of weakness

or words cast asunder
or the duality of nature
something of wonder.

In seeking to discover
the gifts that we got
we claim that we know
yet we know not !

He gave us His key

to that sacred room
that we may be delivered
from our own tomb of doom.

for He has died and risen

to provide me a way
to rise from my nightmare
and embrace Him some day.

. . . He has risen . . . will we ?

 so try love again . . .

when your heart is betrayed

caught, scaled, filleted
tell me what can you do

like a fish out of water

drawn with no quarter
knowing not what is true

you know you should leave

but you want to believe
that love is still there for you

but you must do what you must

for destroyed was the trust
so you cling to the color blue

but worry not my friend

for Karma will send
all the love that you’re due

. . . so try love again . . .

 ~ * ~ wings of flight ~ * ~

why do we speak things of the world

it is such an easy write
let us speak of the grander things
that give us wings for flight

we remember all that’s here

all these inconsequential things
i want to remember the tune
the music my soul sings

dancing across the rainbows

let us not speak of strife
let us smell the flowers
in the gardens of our life

i choose to believe, yes

just call me ignorant
it’s deliberate can you see
just listen to my chant

if we but recapture our beauty

and dust off our light
perhaps we will see
our own soul wings of flight
 Synchronization
Synchros

A Simple Prayer

Lord, please synchronize my Time with Yours.

Whether I know it or not,

my time is synced with Yours. . .

. . . So please synchronize

My Mind with Your Thoughts

My Heart with Your Love
My Will with Your Law
My Care with Your Mercies
My Understanding with Your Wisdom
My Kindness with Your Grace
My Giving with Your Embrace
My Eyes with Your Face
My Walk with Your Pace
My Soul with Your Taste
My Gait with Your Race

Lorde put My Flower

In Your Vase

Amen
 The Broken Heart Syndrome

spinning, spiraling all around

like a carousel in the fair
people handing out broken hearts
all in the name of care

we encounter each in chance

with a twinkle in our eye
our lusts and desires entice us
to tell our self this lie

we be it’s love we call it

and love is never wrong
but it is only emptiness
our heart’s need to belong

we all seek out the warmth

a loving kind love embrace
hoping to win another’s heart
within this human race

so we call it real not fantasy

giving our self to pleasure
but our heart knows that it gave away
it’s one and only treasure

we give our self, our trust

to a love that’s ill conceived
to only suffer the consequence
of what we forced, believed

. . . now we are . . .

spinning, spiraling all around

like a carousel at the fair
trying to mend our broken hearts
damn, life just ain’t fair !
 thanking you again

My Father, My Father
i thank You once again
for standing by me
as my best friend

i asked You for joy

and You taught me to sing
in my times of trouble
You gave my hope wings

i know that You are busy

hearing all of our prayers
but You are always here with us
embracing all of our fears

Father you are so awesome

i cherish Your touch
i just stopped by to thank You
for i love You so much

must there be warriors

must there be fight
must we fight darkness
to liberate the light

must there be death

must there be hate

as is below is it
as so above

must there be discord

can not we but trust
greater good exist

must there be change

yes true I believe
a love change birthed
together we achieve

Beloved, if God so loved us,

we ought also to love one another.

No man hath seen God at any time.

If we love one another,
God dwelleth in us,
and his love is perfected in us.

Hereby know we that we dwell in him,

and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit

Contradictions to Love

I have love
I possess Her in all Her radiant beauty

I lend and give her to others

. . . of my own choice and non choice
Look upon my face
. . . and you too may feel her presence

Touch my hand and I will impart to you her essence

Caress my lips with thy own
. . . and you shall taste the rapture
. . . and be fulfilled

Sit with me and I shall lend you her peace

Talk with me
. . . and you shall feel her understanding
Vex me and quake in the footsteps of her fury

Exist with me and her warmth

. . . shall be yours to give to others
Oh Love how I love thee
Thy Beauty lies in thy giving

be
encouraged
prepared
loved
blessed

~ * ~ fire ~ * ~

i have a fire
burning so deep inside
you said you’d put it out
but again you lied

it hurts so badly
this yearning for you
we been here before
this is nothing new

it seems to me
you like when I beg
you love to tease me
you like pulling my leg

and leave me with this fire

burning so deep inside
please put it out
i can’t, i tried.
 the romantic

i am just a hopeless romantic

i can’t help myself
i am in love with love itself
for my love of love is my wealth

i am just a hapless romantic

i joyfully embrace life’s toil
for i am but a seed divine
firmly implanted in love soil

soon i will bud, then flower

yield all of love’s fruits
for we all are part of the garden
that flowers from love’s roots
 the choices . . .

the choices we make

that by which we live
some folks are takers
some choose to give

many are stuck

betwixt the two
to the left nor right
the focused are few

but know you this truth

one day you must choose
at risk is your heart
and soul you could loose
 the Harvester of Souls

there is an angel of death

a harvester of souls
your belief is not required
‘tis not fantasy told

for our actions performed

each day that we live
produces our karma
what taken we give

there’ll come the day

beyond the allure
the price must be paid
this is for sure

but there is salvation

through the love that we give
so we give all we can
through giving we live
 the song of life

every day all day and night is a struggle . .

i urgently wish to capture in words the essence of Love . . .
it's commitment, joy, romance, beauty and song . . .
it is singing in my heart,
but words are too big for it's expression.

so i just keep on trying to understand her

and her whimsical blessings of the music
. . . i feel and hear.

it is when i cease to struggle to capture her essence . . .

that she alights upon my spirit and infects me
with her virus, thus overtaking all that i am.

then and only then i become the instrument

for her pleasure and her musical expressions

. . . of . . .

the songs of life. . .

. . . Love!
 the light within

before the light

there was a void
the light was given
and we are joyed

the light within

brings forth grace
a gift that’s given
the human race

we have inside
both strong and meek
the gift of life
that we seek

so . . .

like Phoenix arise

up from the dust
embrace your heart
and learn to trust

. . . the light within

 ~ * ~ The Gift I Give ~ * ~

Let’s see, what gift can I give you today

Will it be a word, Something pleasant I say

Will it be a smile that whisks you away

Will it be a glance at just who you are

Will it be in my eyes your shining star

Will it be a touch, soft and demure

Will it be my spirit, will it be pure

Will I taste your soul as is it sweet

Will I offer you my only seat

Will I listen to Every word you say

Will I open up and together we play

Will I hug you with my best embrace

Will I walk with you at just the right pace

Will I comfort you if you have pain

Will I shelter you from all Life’s rain

Will I remove the speck I found in your eye

Will I remove mine before I try

Will I be your House High on the Hill

Will I empty my cup by giving you fill

Will I judge yet never condemn

Will I always remind us of Him

Will I lift you up whenever you fall

Will I surrender whenever you call

Will I always be tender never shove

Will I Look to you through eyes of Love

Will I remember these words I say

Will I practice them each and every day

as He took me inside

Oh how i missed Him

i'm glad i took the time

when dark turns to light

when dark turns to light

and to dark again
we see the cycle
where it all began

the birth of illusion

the sleep of truth
for wisdoms be held
by the hand of sooth

with cares dispersed

as is all strife
for all is one
all is life

as we awaken
to twilight’s dawn
dualities released
duality’s pawn

the ONE recognition

that Soul is ONE
‘twas never a battle
lost nor won

for things just are

what things shall be
look in your heart
and you shall see

when dark turns to light

and to dark again

 . . . in expectation

in expectation
there is a line drawn
not by man
but by the hand
connecting mystery
to the under – stand
that seeps in our consciousness
that weeps in our souls

perhaps this is the pathway

we must travel as we grovel
in the grossness of life
we seek to unravel

i see the line

the stroke be not broad
for the pathway is fine
direct as it must be
that i may see
the signs
that aligns
the tines
with my garden’s soul
as we toil
for naught

. . . in expectation
. . . it’s coming soon to a heart in you !

there is a place
where it all becomes one
the “Big Bang Theory”
and “Thy Will Be Done”

the time will come

where all that we trust
is cast asunder
as the wind moves the dust

call it what you like

for it matters naught
for in the face of certainty
One Truth is wrought

accept or reject
we will expand
our consciousness will open
as we understand

in our present space

we are but finite
for we only grasp
that within sight

so just be ready
and be vigilant
for the eternal exchanges
the cans for the can’ts

so know this . . .

i got that warm and fuzzy feeling

she had my head a reeling
and i know that she was stealing

i’m always on the phone
don’t wanna be alone

she quietly waited with stillness beside her . . .

looking over the horizon

she whirled out of her thoughts
what ! as she spun her thought . . .
she entered the center of her being
reaching for her solitude
she saw she wasn't alone
and
she smiled . . .
very intense
she replied
still
until silence broke the laugh

yet do i now,
’twas meant to be,
yes, yes i knew somehow

so you danced this way;

across my heart
and each new day;
you are my art

i created you;
as thus thou do i;
you give me wings;
that i might fly

i reach to hold
you dance in light

for ‘twas in flight

this is life
a heart on wing

You can never get the berries without

being scratched by the thorns !

 . . . free love

in life we seek to imprison love

to make her do just as we wish
but she refuses to acquiesce
as her essence dances amiss

our desire is one of control

to ensnare Love in our net
what One seeks to take from Love
is up to Love to let

Love and Freedom dance the winds

for their bodies are that of Spirit
be still and patient for they soon come
in silence of heart and mind . . can you hear it

 * ~ the Cosmos ~ * ~

The Planet and Cosmos do I roam

tryin' to find my way back Home

as I wander thru my being

I just can’t believe what I am seeing

Pain, Suffering, War and Strife

Who told that lie and called this life?

I want butterflies and flowers, milk and honey

But it always seems to be about money

So I cast my care beyond aside

What they told me, I know they lied

So each day as I try to cope

I cling, I cling to Faith and Hope

Now I see beauty beyond the fear

Is that light from you my dear?

As we quest for the Gardens Of Sun

Together we come and play as One

The Planet and Cosmos we now roam

I think we found our way back Home

. . . as One !

Blessed is the child that walks not alone . . . wsp

If I had a Hero
how would he be
virtuous and wise
spiritually free

If I had a Hero
how would he walk

straight down the chalk

If I had a Hero
of what would he speak
with a very honed tongue
would he embrace the meek

If I had a Hero
would he have the sight
to untangle life’s equations
be the source of my light

If I had a Hero
i'd yearn for his touch
whenever i'd falter
he’s be my crutch

If I had a Hero
how would life taste
i'd stop to enjoy it
put aside my haste

If I had a Hero

who’d set an example
take away my fear

If I had a Hero
of whom could define

who would be all mine

 ~ a poem of Hope ~

when life is toiled and troubled

and you’re tired of playing life’s game
there is a means of freedom
just call on the Father’s name

He’s all willing and able

all ways by our side
open our eyes and see
through all the tears we cried

His promises will never falter

for He holds us in His grace
through our Faith, Hope and Charity
one day we’ll see His face

so keep the heart of hope beating

don’t you never ever give up
for there is a divine blessing for you
when you drink from the Father’s cup

and when you drink your fill

from the cup of loving care
know our Father’s commandment
that His love is meant to share
 as i cried my tears

as i cried my tears
in the pools of desire
my longings got stronger
as did my fire

but the fault is not yours

it’s something inside
the greatest of truth
i no longer hide

so i reach but for touch

another like being
as i open my eyes
to be what i’m seeing

the colors of joys

of the loves long lost
i must yes recover
no matter the cost

will not you join me

in the noblest of quest
for my soul is weary
and it needs to rest

for together we can

let the task be done
there’s wonderful blessings
when we become one

One LOVE
 all i want

i am not vying for sainthood

that is not why i am here
the best i can do in my life
is give my fellow cheer

i have no wish to ascend

fulfillment alone is a bore
for all I wish is goodness
from without and within my core

we all want our own heaven

by deed we haven’t a chance
i’d rather go to the party
where my Father and i could dance

no, i want no white robe

i'd rather be here in the dirt
for there is so much love to give here
for when you suffer i hurt

no, i wish not for glory

all i wish for is unconditional love
not for my self but my fellow man
may below be such as above
 we will not part . . ever

in death in strife
you are my life
I cling to you forever

through ups and downs

with smiles and frowns
through each of life’s endeavor

the good the bad

especially the sad
I hold your hand whenever

the joys the pains

and in the rains
we’ll smile somehow however

with and without

without a doubt
together through whatever

here are there

just anywhere
my heart is yours wherever

. . . so . . .

wherever thou art

you have my heart
together we are forever

we will not part . . ever

 always . . .

i have been lifted up

intoxicated by your love
where your wings have taken me
there is no more above

when i think of sweetness

colors fill my head
i think not of the harvest’s honey
i think of you instead

inside me there is music

a special sacred song
causing my heart to flower
for ‘tis you that i doth long

for you gave me something special

from which i’ll never part
the smile of friendship and your love
i have within my heart
 ~ * ~ are we dancing ~ * ~

here we go . . .

you prefer Ballet

. . . on Tap!

Tap does not take Two

In unison it sounds good . . .
. . . but . . .
too much motion for me !
So I told you . . .
Get the Funk Outa My Face !

. . . I’m sorry . . .
 woman, liberate thyself

woman, liberate thyself

from the God of delusional love
you wish to embrace
and it knows only shove

yet you come and go

and you say you want a friend
and you tease your dreams
and there you are once again

submitting your self to delusion

telling your self that it is real
trying to fill that empty space
and to God you make your appeal

but don’t think He does not hear you

He hears every hearts little voice
each day He gives you life
and the ability to make a choice

so i say open that wounded heart

and let the light of true love in
that your dark times will part
and then you will live again my friend
 ~ Don't Quit ~

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,

When the road your trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and its turns,

As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When they might have won, had they stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the struggler has given up

When he might have captured the victors cup;
And he learned too late when the night came down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when your hardest hit,
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit!

 my prison

i have erected four walls

that i call my jail
for inside my walls
i can not fail

outside of my box
in traps i am caught
they tempt me to see
if my soul can be bought

my prison is safe
by my own design
my light’s filtered in
and my truths are sublime

outside of my door
there is my own guard
no one may enter
without their love card

i’m safe in my world

and the risks are few
why i stay here
i have not a clue

but some day i’ll leave

and that day is soon
for i hear my heart’s piper
playing Pan’s tune

so i’ll open that door

and then i will see
a bigger prison built
especially for me

so how do i escape
how can i be free
there is but One answer
and that is to “BE”

. . . stop building walls

 . . . so try life . . .

all humans have frailties

all humans have flaws
to enhance life’s conditions
should be life’s cause

. . . so try life . . .

as we put forth the effort

and face our journey’s tests
make one step at a time
and give life your best

. . . so try life . . .

there will not always be Sunshine

nor skies full of Rainbows
many times life is gloomy
but the wise child knows

. . . so try life . . .

that joy cometh with each morning

at the passing of each night
the errors of days past
can never be set aright

. . . so try life . . .

but there is much to be learned

regardless the outcome of each task
always, always ask questions
and thus remove life’s mask

. . . so try life . . .

and then in each moment

life’s beauty will unfold
this is the joyous secret
and this day you have been told

. . . so try life . . .
 ~ * ~ come ~ * ~

come dance with me

and i will make beautiful love . . .
. . . to your soul
i will reach into your heart
and extract my palette
that i may paint your dreams
the colors of rainbows and butterflies

come walk with me

as we stroll by the stream
the stream of spiritual beauty
that abides within us both
we shall flow together
to the river, to the ocean
for we are one

come sing with me

the melodic tunes of bliss
where no cares exist
for we are the note
that harmonizes the world

come climb with me

as we explore the mountains . . .
. . . of our desires
peaking at the place
where passion overflows
into the skies beyond

come with me
give me your heart
in exchange for my own
and we shall dine . . .
. . . in the gardens
of divine joy

come my dear, come

for oneness is beckoning
come before the illusions . . .
. . . of time disappears
come my dear, come!

i’m the one who prays.”

“so take a chance and trust me . . .

and open up the gate.
i’ll show you what’s salvation
before it is too late.”

“you must share me with all others . . .

let’s give to One and All.
a hug of love from the heart . . .
will dismantle this hearts wall.”

. . . a quote from the heart.

 The Waiting Game

as we do play
this game called waiting
our dream to come true
anticipating

we pass on the best of our days

the best of our years
yes there’s much laughter
and so many tears

we surrender our dreams

to delusions in hope
some all it fantasy
to me it’s a soap

stories are told

and some are forgotten
while our fruits do st
and soon become rotten

we surrender our wills

and our fortitude
to another day we
continue to delude

our selves to that dream

are we still waiting
for it to come true
anticipating
 Plastic

Plastic People
with plastic minds
living under
plastic rules of class
are melted and shaped
and soon become brittle
when dropped
they shatter like glass
The Man In The Glass
When you get what you want in your struggle for self,
And the world makes you king for a day,
Just go to a mirror and look at yourself,
And see what that man has to say.

For it isn’t your father or mother or wife,

Whose judgment upon you must pass,
The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life,
Is the one staring back from the glass.

Some people may think you a straight – shootin’ chum,

And call you a wonderful guy,
But the man in the glass says you’re only a bum,
If you can’t look him straight in the eye.

He’s the fellow to please, never mind all the rest,

For he’s with you clear to the end,
And you’ve passed your most dangerous, difficult test,
If the man in the glass is your friend.

You may fool the whole world down the pathways of years,
And get pats on the back as you pass,
But your final reward will be heartaches and tears,
If you’ve cheated the man in the glass.

 title love not

i went out side

and i faced the east
i open my arms wide
as i faced the Sun
for that is where you are
in my heart

i followed your trail

my rainbow fair
a spectrum of love
the colours of care
your pot of gold
you impart

so here i am
so high on life
this i owe to you
i can not deny,
no i dare not
from you i will not depart

. . . so . . .

i’ll dwell out side

i'll face the east
my arms open wide will i keep
as I face my Sum
i find in you
to you i give my heart
This Thing . . .

I know not what curious factors compel me to hold you in my thoughts each day, all
day. I anticipate with longing each moment we share whether it be speech or your
presence. I neither know not what drives and directs me to sit and exact this
communication revealing
revealing my inner self in such a manner. I have long learned the
incrimination of putting one’s feelings in writing, but I care not. All too often the things
I desire to say, I lose courage to say, and the words melt away in to the abysmal
nothingness that abides
abides with us all. All too often in life there are moments and
experiences that acquaint us with something or someone special, and we do not comment.
To not at least acknowledge that our souls have been touched, stirred or moved is a sin
against life itself.
itself. It is holding all that is dear in life in disdain. I, as we all do, know
and understand the rules of man and social structure and it’s condemning nature for what
it can not accept, understand or control….. well, This Thing is of a non conforming
nature
nature within the structure that wishes to erect the edifices of it’s own greatness only to pass
into history as a time that used to be. This Thing is timeless, universal and cares not of
the rules that are set upon the table before itself to abide by. This Thing existed long
before man could utter his desire for order and conformity. This Thing fractures the
rules by which we so vehemently deny ourselves and our divinity. This Thing cares not
save for the opportunity to share itself with another…. Unabashed….
Unabashed…. Uninhibited…. and
Unrestrained.! This Thing will either be our undoing or our salvation in this life…but
in the infinite misunderstanding of our existence, This Thing is all that there is. This
Thing is the Mother of all that exists. It is the rela relationship
tionship between all living
things…. each of it’s own kind. As we develop in our consciousness we come to
understand and accept that we are all connected and interdependent, for all is one. I
have encountered thee and I aspire to thee to become one with thee. For This
Thing I will suffer the indulgences of a finite society, for my cause is timeless. This
Thing have brought thee through many histories and lifetimes and we shall go forth with
much more…. for I am but a servant. Thou has awakened in me this this Thing that has
lied so dormant for too long. I acknowledge the grandeur of This Thing I have
found in thee, for This Thing is . . . . . . .Love !

My Walk

By Melody India Starr Peters

So many unexpected turns, so many things that have not been

told. Secrets keep building up in me. I want to let them out

I need someone who's strong and bold, to tell me things I've

not been told. Secrets surrounding me , I need someone to set
me free.

I want to stand out, I hate to shout. I luv to be me, to be free.

Why is it so hard, why do I have to struggle.

To be ,to be who I want to be. It's being me watching

someone all day long. Knowing what they think of me. Feeling
down and worthless. Thinking I'm nobody when I' am. I' am
me, so who cares about the rest.

Why do I care, what they say, why can't I just ignore, people
staring while I'm glaring acting sweet, thinking I'm dumb. Like
I don't know.

But who cares what they think I try to forget the rest. It's hard
but life goes on. Time won't stand still for me or for you.

I try to make the most of it but I'm scared. Scared of rejection

and scared of life. Scared of who my secrets might hurt.

Life is traveling fast and passing me by, I need your hand to

help me through, I need your luv to show the way.

I need you to catch me from falling cuz I'm falling fast hoping
and expectin you to stop me from hitting the ground.

You'll hopefully accept me and take me, to somewhere safe

away from the world to see.

So here I'm writing to you hoping you'll read this and come
and save me

Cuz life 's going by fast there's no red lights.

 Sunrise

By Melody Peters

The sunrise comes up so slowly, waiting for a little chance

To be loved by all the people, even the ones without a little
class.
Here it comes all bright with beauty, helping all the people
stare.
Into the sky we all see you wondering if you're really there, or
if it's just a silly trick a our minds just like to play. We stop and
think for just a moment wondering what is going on. We try
to look back at your glory, but now you've disappeared. What
we see in your place is the blaring sun that shines so bright we
can not bare it. So we decide not to stare into the sun which is
too
much to bare. After every day is the sunset and then moon
comes
out to play. We see him dance with all the stars right above
our heads.
We say our prayers, and got to bed dreaming of our favorite
things and
in the morning we get up again. We when wake up we thank
the Lord
for his blessings he has shown, and when we look outside our
windows
we see the sunrise yet again.
 Thank You

i thank you, i thank you

i thank you my friend
for reading my words
from beginning toto end

i pray my expressions
had an effect on you
that you go forth with love
in all that you do

so now it is done
please pass this along
that others may hear
the gift of the song

. . . of love.

Love you
