Hercules - Day7 #WriteBravely

A true hero isn't measured by the size of his strength, 

but by the strength of his heart - Hercules

Sitting quietly

A tough life silently lived
Uncared, yet content

Powerful people
Gym bodies, expensive things,
Judging, scorn old man

Timid little thing

Not much to share, just hello

Blessings from old man.

I am taking part in the Write Tribe Festival of Words

For the June 2018 festival I thought I would write some haiku and give this neglected blog a little love. Trying to bring back the poetry mojo.

The Spirit Of Love

Prompts this week:
One Single Impression - prompt #279 - Demon
Verse First - Lock
Linking up to Write Tribe picture prompt

Verse First prompt:

Virginia Woolf once said, "“I thought how unpleasant it is to be locked out; and I thought how it is worse, perhaps, to be locked in.”

Upon consideration, one realizes that being locked - in  or out- can be literal, emotional, medical, figurative.  And there are other meanings to ponder. A lock can be a fastener fitted to a door or drawer to keep it firmly closed. It can be a section of canal that can be closed to control the water level; used to raise or lower vessels that pass through it. Or a lock can be a simple strand or cluster of hair.

Write a poem around the notion of a lock, using whatever meaning sets free your creativity.

Lock the door of my heart so I can behold only you

Hold the key in your hands to the end of time

Let my love not waver nor question this bond

Let my soul shine through like a beacon of love

You and I have sailed the tumultuous seas

In millennium after millennium

Locked our hands that none could break apart

And sang together the songs of our souls

Let me hear again the melody that entices my spirit

And binds me ever closer to you

Let me rest awhile in your loving embrace 

So my weary soul may dance again; renewed, refreshed, awakened

~x~

OSI prompt - Demon

The mind is in constant battle with the heart and is the mastermind behind that creeping fear.

Let the demon of doubt vanish from my mind

Let him not start a feud with my heart
Let him no place in my existence find

Let him not tear my soul apart

For love is the key to conquer all

With faith in my heart I free my mind

The demon of doubt then begins to fall

And unlocked are the fearful chains that bind

Loving Heart

The heart is the vault where love resides

It's true nature is compassionate and kind

Love is a universal energy, a state of bliss

Individually defined and mine is this ...

Love is your shoulder when I need some rest

Love is a kind word when I'm not at my best

Love is a sweet smile that lights up your face

Love is your unique style no one can replace

Love is a wonder like a blooming rose

Love is that familiar touch that helps me repose

Love is a warm hug that soothes my mind

Love is that universal spark eternal and divine

Love is that energy that brings me peace

Love is to give but also to receive

Love is a little flame that touches my soul

Love is a tender heart that makes me whole

~x~

Wishing you all a very Happy Valentines Day.

The heart of gold you gave to me

A symbol from the blue

An angel handed it to me

In a dream I lived with you

Your soul you merged with mine through that

A message of your love

My body bathed in your enchanting glow

And peaceful like a dove

The heart of gold you gave to me

A symbol of our love

My heart is joined with yours you said

In an everlasting bond

~x~

This poem is based on an event that took place during one of my meditations recently. Feeling blessed.

Just Past Centre Battles

Written for  Verse First    Poetry Jam    GBE2
Linking to    Poetry Pantry #168   dVerse Open Link Night #115

Verse First - Just past the centre
We are, now, just past September's center. Funny way to look at a span of time, from the center. But that is exactly what I want you to do. Look at something, anything really, from just past center. It could be your life, your kitchen table or even a task at hand. It could be your equilibrium, your goals, a relationship or... Whatever you choose, write a poem from the perspective of Just past center.

GBE2 - Imperfection

All things must balance

That's my belief

Life's like a dance

Unbalanced it's grief

Sometimes a new venture

Swings left, then right

Just past centre

No use being uptight

A little imperfection

Much easier to achieve

It's a matter of perception

And what you believe

All things must balance

The ride up and down

Life needs an easy stance

Smile, don't frown

~x~

Poetry Jam - Battles

Mind is a battlefield

Of earthly understanding

Heart is a vault unsealed

Of Divinity enchanting

Sometimes the mind wins

It's morality's tool

It keeps us from sins

And within earthly rules 

But the heart is blissful

It tolerates the mind

Its connection is universal

Invisible and kind

There's balance in life

When mind and heart agree

Then our journey is free of strife

And the spirit is free

Mind is a battlefield

Of earthly understanding

Heart is a vault unsealed

Of Divinity enchanting

~x~

Paying it forward
This week I feature Mary's Just past centre - loved her take on the prompt and it made me smile

Quintessential Love

I am taking part in the A to Z Challenge via my blog Someday Somewhere.

For the letter "Q"  I wrote a poem on my definition of quintessential love which I am sharing here as well.

image source: google images

Come, wake up and love again

For I have lived through the aeons of time with you

We have traversed universes in a multitude of lifetimes

I have loved each beat of your heart, every thought in your mind

I have smiled at every rhythm your soul has orchestrated

And immersed myself in the ecstasy of your every moment

I have seen you in every aspect of my existence

And felt you in the minutest fibre of my being

I have merged my consciousness with yours

And thus bridged the chasm of this vast, endless cosmos

Wherever we are, we reach through thin veils

And blend together into one presence 

Now, and then forever.

Longing

For  GBE2's prompt - Longing

Also linking to dVerse Open Link Night

I close my eyes to see yours

For they caress my soul

In the stillness of the night

Your whispers take control

I know I have been with you 

Since the beginning of time

You're elusive I can't reach you

To touch a moment sublime

My eyes they gaze across the sea

I listen with intent

I search each nook and cranny

Until my strength is spent

My heart it longs to be with you

Each day becomes a trial

My soul is restless and distressed

Each step feels like a mile

I close my eyes to see yours
For they pacify my soul

A moment of respite for me

When yearning has a hold.

~x~

Caller ID

For  GBE2's prompt - Caller ID

Also linking to dVerse Open Link Night

You tried to reach me several times

Through nature, dreams, and songs

I did not hear the ringing tones

Oblivious I rode along

And then one day you showed yourself

In an unexpected way

How could I have missed you all these years

Seems like my life I threw away

The strange disjointed moments

Somehow fell into place

Like jigsaw puzzle pieces

And delicate crocheted lace

How could I have forgotten

The adventures that we carved

Your ID etched into my soul

The caller of my heart.

~x~

Honesty

Do you believe in messages from the other side?  This poem is the result of a wonderful message I received.

It's also a response to this week's prompt for the The Thursday Writer's Post hosted by Magical Mystical Mimi.

"With pure honesty, the honesty of a child, say one thing today"

I've wanted to do a poetry blog for a long time and this seemed to be the moment for that too

So here it is ... that one thing  ....  straight from my heart

I wish I could've told you

Just how much you meant to me

But I was much too young to think

Of love and reverie

Our eyes did meet just now and then

I knew that you were special

And in your eyes I saw your love

And secret admiration

And then our paths swerved and diverged

We went our separate ways

I always hoped we'd meet again

And spend our lifetime days

You left this world so young and sudden

Destiny played its part

Soulmates not meant to be together

A romance not meant to start

You always were a gentle soul

So sweet with quiet strength

Did you know your time was up

Hence kept me at arms length?

You know the Lord did save me

He was harsh but very wise

He knew I would have crumpled

Hence you were not my prize

Your handsome face etched in my mind

How could I that erase

Your image imprinted in my heart

And so hard to replace

Someday there'll be another

A love that I will find

I know you'll send him to me

Your gift of love so kind

And when my time on earth is up

I hope that you will be

Waiting on the other side

To walk that path with me

I wish I could've told you

How much you meant to me

But you already know that

My heart you hear and see.
