Life, Love, Truth, 3 gems
Swineburne
All the zest of all our England
Love that flows and life that flames,
Light of heaven on things of beauty,
Wonder in their winsome names,
Noise of waterfalls down leaping
From a myriad mountain springs,
Winds that never cease their whispering,
Endless waves and endless wings.
I really like that one... The author conveyed so much with such few words.. --Tyr

Was in a hurry to post due to taking my wife to work this morn. Forgot to title my newest work.Lessons Learned In Youth.
Eyes like diamonds decorating a rose
sweet lips to decorate her perfect nose
A face made for benefit for all to see
a girl too good for the likes of me
She passed me by not even casting a glance
yet my mind was on pure romance
I could hear her song night and day
yet to me she had nothing to say
Foolish dreaming gathered me no date
best to speak before it is too late
O' what words would serve me well
I had nobody to help me ,nobody to tell
Fearing the worst and praying for the best
I decided to try a very simple test
As she passes by I'd just step up to boldly say
Hello! And then begin to earnestly pray
That my bold step was met with a good reply
she'd be nice to me yet I know not why
Doubts and fear racked my fevered brain
daggers in my heart was my relentless pain
So I finally ventured receiving a great reward
finding suddenly talking to her wasn't at all hard
We dated for just over 47 blissful summer days
then each found others and parted ways
I learned nothing ventured nothing you will gain
yield not to fear stepping out into the glorious rain
Life sends us on a glorious and rewarding ride
best just go with the flow , ride high on the tide............Tyr- 04-11-2014
A work which I long ago wrote but was in my papers the ex-wife destroyed. Had to do it from memory and am sure its fairly close to the original written about 30 years ago. I was writing about my experience as a 16 year old kid that had so damn much to learn.. Don't we all wish we could go back to redo some things?? If so Id go back and hold onto that gal for dear life but fate sent me down another path.. No complaints , just musings from an old man about youthful experiences. -Tyr

She
She was the first to love me, please me and leave me
The first to take me, fake me and try to break me
Memories of sweetness greater than honey, money
or days blissfully joyful and ever so sunny
Such contrasts are insanely weird, happy , sad
and even mysteriously funny
Yet on reflection any first real love
surely can be all of the above..........--Tyr-- 04-22-2014...,.

A REVELATION, A GIFT
Dark and dank scenery telling details I saw
in a clear night sky and largest moon of all
As I raise my sword to slay the sky's glass
immediately visions of wonder quickly flew past
Down came spirits streaming with ease
singing loudly , pretty as you please
Reflections of souls slipping up and above
each led by a pair of snow white turtle doves
Next came a blow to my upraised sword arm
ceasing my vain attempt to cause great harm
Down flew a spirit swiftly and directly to me
handing me a glittering gift complete with key
As I stopped my anger to examine my prize
a voice commanded telling me bow and tell no lies
I quickly knelt onto humble and bended knee
while ordered to now use that gifted key
As I did I felt rapture in my wicked soul
and love in my wicked spirit began to grow
As love sprang from that glittering chest
deep into my heart on a mercy bound quest
The words in that chest were only two
written in diamonds the words, love you!
At this revelation my mind did finally see
that God had spoken lovingly and directly to me! --Tyr 05-01 2014

Simply brilliant.... Seems he predicted future government actions.-
A Poor Unfortunate
His hoss went dead an' his mule went lame;
He lost six cows in a poker game;
A harricane came on a summer's day,
An' carried the house whar' he lived away;
Then a airthquake come when that wuz gone,
An' swallered the lan' that the house stood on!
An' the tax collector,
he
come roun'
An' charged him up fer the hole in the groun'!
An' the city marshal-he come in view
An' said he wanted his street tax, too!
II
Did he moan an' sigh? Did he set an' cry
An' cuss the harricane sweepin' by?
Did he grieve that his ol' friends failed to call
When the airthquake come an' swallered all?
Never a word o' blame he said,
With all them troubles on top his head!
Not
him
…. He clumb to the top o' the hill-
Whar' standin' room wuz left him still,
An', barin' his head, here's what he said:
'I reckon it's time to git up an' git;
But, Lord, I hain't had the measels yit!'

I hope you may enjoy this write. I finished it moments ago , having wrote it for a
special themed competition.
Had in mind twice as many lines but a limit was placed upon the length. I dearly
hate such limits(when imposed) because they restrain the author's creativity..-Tyr
Having had so many that placed recently and some taking first place IFlowers of the Curious Mind
Sent were flowers of the curious mind
following echoes of Cantu's muse
No curses , words grossly unkind
insults hidden deeply in clever ruse
Dare not stab sweet music of mortal man
with deeds sordidly played tho' sweet
Transgress not Nature's surviving plan
with arrogant contempt born of defeat
Embrace life's melody as a lost friend
dancing within it's tune so fine
Live, live gloriously until life's end
drink, drink richly of it's finest wine!

decided to compose one for this special contest although its not my usual
practice to be so rigidly limited.. --Tyr

A Golden Steed Gallops
A golden steed gallops in my dreams as of late
echoing sounds of my so darkly imagined fate
chastising my wicked deeds of an ill-spent youth
increasing the chasm between bold lies and truth
Flowing trails of gleaming pain fly deep with that race
as precious , sweet memories burn up without a trace
flying away , names and faces of girls I so easily left
broken up like fine crystals falling from a high shelf
An invisible rider brings racing steed to an abrupt halt
as it screams out, yes , you, it's all your damn fault!
why did you not live a sweeter, kinder and gentler life
blame is on you for lost true love , loss of your first wife!
Golden steed stands at a graveyard filled with no headstones
lying about are several sun-bleached and broken white bones
dark wind races in whispering in a very raspy low moan
you are so dead , now you lay cold, dark and so, so alone!
