Falling in Love

“Between the Falling in Love Parts,” by Phyllis Bramson

I heard you shouldn't fall in love with your muse
even when it brings a new ache, a new desire
for creativity is the lightning rod, the fuse
it’s the poem, the songs that lifts me higher

Holding him close in heart but, far from arms
don’t cling to the vision, hold on to the feeling
 mesmerizing sweet words, melody and charms
an other-worldly connection to another being

Between you and I and the falling in love parts
the language of creativity is a work of art

Where do I begin and where do you end
in this whimsical world where we blend 

In another realm you will always be my man 
in a dream is where it all began

You’re everything magical, I imagined you to be
waking from dreams, writing poetry at three
my untouched love, you will forever remain
listening to the rain, you my sweetest refrain

I heard you shouldn't fall in love with your muse
even when it brings a new ache, a new desire
for creativity is the lightning rod the fuse
it’s the poem, the songs that lifts me higher

Between you and I and the falling in love parts
the language of creativity is a work of art

Where do I begin and where do you end
in this whimsical world where we blend

In another realm you will always be my man
in a dream is where it all began

Some days the sun loses it's glow
when you're riding the whiskey sky
listening to the songs of the crows
the summer flowers wilt and die

when you're riding the whiskey sky
dark clouds hover threatening rain
the summer flowers wilt and die
here I am,  thinking of you again

someone told me long ago
it's hard to let love go
it'll leave you feelin' blue

dark clouds hover threatening rain
sunlight pushes through the gaps
here I am, thinking of you again
no need to check a weather map

sunlight pushes through the gaps
this storm will pass it always does
no need to check a weather map
memories of you cause a flood

someone told me long ago
it's hard to let love go
it'll leave you feelin' blue 

this storm will pass it always does
listening to the songs of the crows

memories of you cause a flood
some days the sun loses it glow

the prompt is to write a weather related poem
of any length or form.

 

author's note: I was inspired by the Song "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?
by Creedence Clearwater Revival

 

I went to a free concert in the park tonight and they played this song and I sang along 

The Arc of Poetry

Poetry is an arc between
reality and the imagination
it is the language of the soul
speaking in unknown tongues

Poetry is found in the night
opening my mind to possibilities
soaring from realm to realm
in the silence I listen and hear
whispers of the ancient trees

Poetry is my greatest story
dreaming it, writing it, singing  it

Poetry is a falling star carrying
wishes across the infinite sky
leaving a trail of cosmic dust
in a wild messy world of love

Poetry is a song from my heart
discovering the rhymes of life
an internal beat weaving magic
deciphering and coining new words
a sonnet sung under blue moonlight

Poetry is my greatest story
dreaming it, writing it, singing it

Homesick for my Soul

Deep in my soul is a longing
seeking a place of inner peace
truest sense of spiritual belonging
gathering of self; scattered pieces

Singing dirges of loss ...

Calling my weary soul back home
parts misplaced in the journey of life
how many miles have I roamed
answers found in my nightly flights

Singing  a hymn of hope...

Heart ache of love needs tending
self-reflection in a blue teardrop
messages my dreams are sending
enlightenment on a mountain top

deep in my soul is a longing
gathering of self; scattered pieces

This Poem is a warm spring day
its about taking a walk in nature
listening to the trill of bird songs

This Poem is about a buffalo drum
connecting with earth’s rhythm
thumping a prayer of hope

This poem is geese nesting
on a mound of twigs and grass
honking at nearby predators

This poem is a lucid dream
seeking wisdom in the night
perched upon a tree limb 

This poem is about finding love
in times of deepest darkness
its about following the light
