Poem - Enchantment - Donn Hoffmann
Enchantment
Unsuspecting beneath the silent stars
Or in fields of fragrant flowers I am led
With sudden splendid vision I behold
Her image penetrates my very soul
To a life of love and feelings deep
Beauty and pleasure found surpassing all
Romance with me

Poem - My Hear - Yours Alone - Donn Hoffmann
My Heart ~Yours Alone
In the midst of others
I see no one, I hear no one, only you
All but forgotten are those who came before you
Captivated each time I see you, never wanting to flee
My passion in the beauty of you alone remains

Poem - Into the Night - Donn Hoffmann
Into The Night
With the luster of a velvet moon
Along the summits of mountains
Heaven opens over lakes and groves
In the quiet shade of the valley below
There along the path she is found
A motion of loveliness, her heart serene
She walks with pleasure and pure delight
With a perfume laden breeze
Among the trees, where flowers grow
Amidst the songs of birds, she pauses
Her love appears, courageous in her eyes
Her heart rushing against her breast
With trembling knees, she cannot sustain
Spirited by his gaze to him she goes
Into the night all pleasure found
With him she will remain

My Heart Rejoices
High above the hills and valleys

More radiant than the glow of the early morning sky
Beautiful are my thoughts and desires of you
To gently caress your body
Capturing its pleasure within my hands
I cast below my hopes and dreams they not fade away

Real Love
By: Lamar Cole
Love that soars above the clouds.
Love that knows no bounds.
Love that always brings a smile.
Love that never goes out of style.
Love that stays around for a while.
Love that brings a beautiful child.
Love that lasts for life.
Love that binds a husband and wife.
This is real love.
Moon Shy
By: Lamar Cole
Dark clouds racing across the sky.
True love began to fly.
In a love nest so dry.
The sky has gone from blue to gray.
The sun tried to peek through.
But the only sunshine in the room today,
Was my darling you.
The day turned into a night so crisp and cold.
A million stars dotted the sky.
On my sweetheart and I they did spy.
While the moon seemed shy.
Heavenly Body
By: Lamar Cole
Ducks swimming in the pond.
I held a star in my arms.
That star darling was you.
On a summer night so new.
Frogs croaking,
Crickets chirping songs of love.
Heavenly body in my arms.
Slowly brewing summer storm.
Loudest Roar
By: Lamar Cole
When I’m with you darling,
I feel like an eagle that forever soars.
I feel like a lion with the loudest roar.
I feel like a King with a throne of gold.

I feel like the tallest fire.
I feel the passion that grows higher and higher.
The flame that never dies.
A tide of romance that always rise.

Autumn Chill

Sweetheart’s warm feel,
Sultry looks,

Barbara (Angel in Disguise)
By: Lamar Cole
As long as I live, I will always be a fan.
Of the lovely, wonderful Barbra Streisand.
Voice so pure and enchanting when she sings.
You can hear romantic bells ring.
Whether singing high or low.
Her words always have a beautiful flow.
Soft melodies that could make a person cry.
Songs of emotion that could bring a tear to the eye.
Angel in disguise, lady of grace.
One of the best song stylists on this earth’s face.

Passion Cry

A sweet sound of passion cry.
So Serene

Good Loving Man

My sweetheart is as sweet as raindrops dripping off a rose petal.
As lovely as the beams reflected from the moon.

Neverending love like grains in the sand.
Makes me feel like her good loving man.
Passion in the Waves

Passion in the waves made the moon drool.
Jazz Man Louis

Notes of gold from his horn he did blow.
The great Satchmo,
He could really belt out a good song.

Listening to Frank Sinatra King Of Croon.

I need you darling, my strength.
A Single Tear
By: Lamar Cole
I remember the time we said goodbye.
A single tear fell from your eye.
My love was going away.
On a distant trip today.
Her nearness she knew I would surely miss.

Magic is You

Bodies swaying to and fro.
To the music of Barry Manilow.

Everything Gonan Be Alright
By: Lamar Cole
I left home for the war.
When I was just eighteen.
I went to Vietnam a person so good and clean.
I came back home all broken spirited and mean.
All through the war I kept thinking.
If I could just get back home.
Everything gonna be alright.
As I tramped through the fields.
Bodies of my buddies maimed and killed.
I kept thinking if I could just get back home.
Everything gonna be alright.
They shipped me home on a Monday.
They gave me a Purple Heart.
I lost one leg and my mind is bad.
People look at me with faces so sad.
But I’m home now Lord.
And everything is alright.
But I’m home now Lord.
And everything is alright.
A Night Like This

I walk through life without a care.
I know that your love will always be there.
In this life I know no fear.
Because your love and God give me strength my dear.
Free
By: Lamar Cole
The wind blows free across the sea.
A little girl laughs gaily on her father’s knee.
A bird sings happily in a tree.
Love blows freely for my love and me.
Deer run free in the field.
Eagles fly free at will.
Leaves dance freely in the wind.
I will love you freely until life’s end.
My Soul
By: Lamar Cole
Loveliness adorns her.
Love of God transforms her.
Happiness surrounds her.
Sweet love warms her.
Strawberries appeal to her.
Our love is real to her.
Flowers smell sweet to her.
My soul lives for her.
Thank God
By: Lamar Cole
Every night before I sleep.
I get down on my knees and pray.
Thanking God for sending your love my way.
Every morning when I open my eyes.
And look at the beautiful sky.
I thank God for another day with you.
A love who makes all my days fresh and new.
With every breath.
I thank God for a love that’s true.
And true love darling is you.
Happiness
By: Lamar Cole
Like the birds sing a sweet song.
Like the rivers strum a lovely tune.
Like the stars serenade the moon.
Like flowers look so pretty in June.
Like water makes violets grow.
Like winter brings flaky snow.
This is true and no jest.
Love is the blueprint for happiness.
Sunrise
By: Lamar Cole
The sun rises.
The wind blows.
Like a tree.
True love grows and grows.
Like a flower.
True love smells fresh.
Like a river.
True love stands time’s test.
Two elderly people holding hands.
Walking barefoot on the beach sand.
The young at heart lady is the man’s wife.
Love can still be like the sunrise in the twilight of a person’s life.
Her Sweat Love
By: Lamar Cole
Her sweet love flows down the waterfalls of my soul.
Her sweet love climbs the mountains of my heart.
Her sweet love flows through the rivers of my life.
Her sweet love seeps through the windows of my mind.
Her sweet love flies on the wings of my prayer.
Her sweet love sustains me like the air.
Secret Place
By: Lamar Cole
Our eyes met.
Our souls touched.
First love is a feeling that you never forget.
First love brought to my heart.
A flood of emotions.
Beautiful and wide.
Exciting like a balloon ride.
Years go by and days pass.
But the memory of a first love will always last.
This is something that must be realized from the start.
A first love always remains in a secret place in the heart.
Our Romance
By: Lamar Cole
Our romance is like the sun gleaming.
The moon beaming.
Our romance is like the stars shining so bright.
All through the heavenly night.
Our romance is like violins playing.
Sunny days staying.
Our romance is like birds singing.
Bells ringing.
Our romance is like rivers flowing.
Flowers growing.
Our romance is like a cool wind.
Love that never ends.
Tastes
By: Lamar Cole
Peeled sugar cane tastes sweet upon the lips.
Coconut milk tastes sweet on the tongue.
Your love tastes sweet in my life.
Easing burdens and taking away strife.
Apple pie smells fresh on the breeze.
The scent of peach pie flows through the trees.
Your breath tastes sweet to my lips
Like ginger ale with every sip.
Her Physical Beauty
By: Lamar Cole
Her physical beauty is lovely to behold.
But nothing compares to the beauty within her soul.
She has a personality that is so sweet.
And a gentleness that can’t be beat.
She has the ability to deeply feel.
This by far is her greatest appeal.
She has the gift to show great love.
That surely came from heaven above.
Treat Her
By: Lamar Cole
Treat her right.
She will be so nice.
Treat her wrong.
She will be cold as ice.
Treat her like a queen.
She will be your lifelong dream.
Treat her bad.
You will end up lonely and sad.
Thoughts
By: Lamar Cole
Light as butterflies floating on the wind.
Thoughts of you flow through my mind.
Pretty as flowers blowing in the breeze.
Your image dances with the wind in the trees.
Sweet as a lollipop.
Visions of you is tops.
Cool as ice.
Dreams of you feel so nice.
Life
By: Lamar Cole
Life with you is a beautiful dance.
Of loving and sweet romance.
Life with you is a sweet dream.
Of honeysuckle and cool running streams.
Life with you is a thrilling roller coaster ride.
Knowing that you will always be by my side.
Life with you is my eternity.
You and I floating on an endless cloud of serenity.
Her Voice
By: Lamar Cole
Her voice is like a song.
That’s written on the pages of my heart.
Soft and low.
With a sweet melodic flow.
Each word spoken.
Like a beautiful note.
Straight out of a songbook.
For my heart she wrote.
Voice so sweet.
What a treat.
My heart melts whenever we meet.
Her Body
By: Lamar Cole
Scent like lilies in bloom.
Looking so sensuous.
When she walks into a room.
Hair so silky.
Skin so smooth.
Feels like a peach to the touch.
A touch I love so much.
Lovely as a female genie.
Who fulfills the wishes.
Just like cotton candy.
Looking so delicious.
Your Lips
By: Lamar Cole
Like an apple
Red and delicious.
The answer to my prayers and wishes.
Full of smiles when happy.
A bit of pout when sad.
Full of sweet kisses.
That makes my heart glad.
Full of kind words.
When sometimes I feel gloom.
Full of sweet songs.
That could fill a room.
Dreams
By: Lamar Cole
Some people dream of diamonds.
Some people dream of gold.
But I dream of you love.
Until the night grows cold.
Prayer kept me safe.
Visions of you kept me warm.
Thinking of you through the night.
Secure from harm.
Some people dream of riches.
A whole lot of money.
But I will dream of you always.
My precious honey.
You
By: Lamar Cole
You are the sun.
You are the moon.
You are the happy tunes.
My heart sings in June.
You are the flower.
That blooms in my heart after an april shower.
You are the star that shines so bright.
You are the love that makes my life so right.
You are the wind that blows through my hair.
Your love, like God, I feel everywhere.
Her Eyes
By: Lamar Cole
Eyes so green.
Like ones in a sweet dream.
Eyes so round.
Shining like moonbeams.
Eyes so pretty.
Loveliest in the city.
Eyes so bright.
Like stars shining in the night.
Eyes so soft.
Like those of a spotted doe.
Eyes so tender.
Brings to the heart sweet surrender.
This Love
By: Lamar Cole
This love runs on emotion.
This love is fueled by devotion.
This love floats on feelings.
Higher than a cathedral ceiling.
This love soars on the breeze of monogamy.
Two hearts in perfect harmony.
This love is you.
This love is me.
Together, forever through eternity.
Your Kiss
By: Lamar Cole
Your kiss is sweet as a candy cane.
Soft as a summer rain.
Soothing as a soft pillow.
Free as a weeping willow.
Sweet as honey.
More precious than money.
Wet as a winter snow.
The kind that is dreamed of.
This I know.
A Sweetheart
By: Lamar Cole
A sweetheart is one of God’s greatest creations.
Whose love brings to the heart .
A sweet sensation.
She makes everyday worth living.
Her love is always there for the giving.
A love that makes sorrow take flight.
That lights up the heart.
Like fireflies light up the night.
Your Love

Your love is like diamonds.
That sparkle in the night.
Your love is like the stars.

That is so blue.
Your love is like a bright sunny day.
That makes the world seem new.
My Love

My love sails on blue waters.
Blue waters of your heart.
My love dances on the wind.
The wind of your soul.

Reflection of your eyes.
My love will live forever.
In your body and soul.
The Night Was Made For Romance
By: Lamar Cole
The night was made for romance.
In the night our two hearts dance.
Under the stars our lips touch.
In the garden your embrace means so much.
The night was made for love.
Our hearts cooing like a white dove.
Your eyes sparkling like diamonds so white.
I love you darling with all my might.
The night was made for caring and trust.
And darling, God made this night for us.
Our Love
By: Lamar Cole
As long as there is love, I will cherish you.
As long as there is life, I will love you.
As long as the stars shine above, I will want you.
As long as there are waves in the ocean, I will need you.
As long as there is heaven above, there will always be our love.
Only Love
By: Lamar Cole
Love can sometimes be fresh.
Love can sometimes be new.
Love can sometimes make you happy.
And sometimes make you blue.
Love is the light that radiates from your eyes.
Love is your image floating in the skies.
Love is true.
And darling, the only love for me is you.
Poem - Dark Holes – Kenja
By: Kenja
the earth opens and sucks in all that loves ,giving back unexplained terror
letting us wonder like lost puppies, it hits the one that loves with not only his mind and body
but mainly soul letting us have glory, when we lose it
it feels as if a million knifs going through our hearts, hearing the voice everyday through the trees
seeing the face control all nature, still protecting from a distance
only to show the true feelings of caring, not letting us go without a fight of redemption
to give us comfort of peace and warmth, to let us breathe the world known to him
making the force unknown to the unloved.
Poem - Holocaust - Hannah Steadman
By: Hannah Ruth Steadman
The bluebird chirps of love tonight
As two form one in close embrace.
Love’s power strains beyond all might
To ease the ache of life’s hard race.
Vain words of hope he breathes this hour;
She sobs the more as daybreak comes.
A tyrant grasps them in his power,
And death will make them all succumb.
Hadassah wept, so Haman dies—
A consequence of God-heard prayer.
Yet no redeemer will arise
To save the sons of Isaac’s heir.
The couple clings for one last time.
Cold Auschwitz’s darkness lurks in sight
As now approach death’s gas and lime.
The bird’s song dies with dawn’s first light.
Poem - Dour Girl - Lianna Albrizio
By: Lianna Albrizio
Every morning she arises to a routine feeling of despair. She picks up a pen to begin to write, attempting to cleanse her mind of self-deprecating thoughts that bite. She puts on a black t-shirt to match her mood, and applies mascara called “blackout” to accent her mysterious eyes through which she regularly broods. She goes to drink a cup of black coffee to experience a euphoric high, but crashes to a hampering low, as the day goes by.
She gets a cigarette to add to the blackening of her lungs.
When she arrives at school and talks to someone new, her hazel eyes become eclipsed by dilation, comparable to her first drug experimentation. After inevitable rejection, she resigns to a dark place when she feels like nobody cares. She always feels in the dark when confused about her affairs– mostly because she refuses to see the bigger picture, or perhaps is just hindered by daunting bouts of depression that cloud up her mind like a pre-storm sky in winter.
When she steps outside to view a magnificent sky, the earth is splendidly bright, but she can’t seem to relish and take flight. The sunset is breathtakingly beautiful, yet all her somber mind allows her to sight is the subsidence of light, and an array of fading colors against a horizon that she will never reach. This sense of emptiness runs deep– day-in and day-out through which she stares down the abyss in her yearning heart that pleads, “let me out!”
When night falls into a starry evening and she falls back asleep, she closes her eyes and still can’t see. Black is dismal like me.
Poem - Who Are You - Damien Livingston
By: Damien Livingston
Sometimes I question myself
When I begin to do things, I never done before
Is this maturity, am I bettering myself
Or is this post teen peer pressure where I following a flock
Who are you?
Sometimes you have to ask
Because people have motives
What are yours?
Is it to close every door left open by our ancestors?
Or, is it to break the frame
So that more people can have the opportunity to break free
From self arresting chains
Don’t confuse it, if you don’t use it you definitely lose it
So when will you change
From using words for gossip to creating beautiful stories
Filled with your soul and provide it
To other people as a real life object or testament
Of fall down, get back up, keep trying
Now tell me, who are you?
Are you the pen that continue to poison our history
With ignorance, disloyalty and murder
Or were you just the instrument of crime to put us down further
Well, now is the your time to stand for something
Other then your own selfish needs of fulfillment
You can become the pen that will one day write our future
Therefore, today I ask who are you?
Poem - My Lover, My Friend - Crystal Robin Rose
By: Crystal Robin Rose
Butterflies, goose bumps, even chills,
When I’m with you that’s how I feel.
Holding you tight oh so close,
Being a part of your life is what I love the most.
My eyes sparkle, my face glows,
How much you mean to me you’ll never know.
I love being a part of your world,
Everyday I feel like the luckiest girl.
You’re my man, my best friend,
The bond we have is impossible to end.
Deep thoughts, secrets told,
Sharing these feelings will never get old.
Being apart for a day feels like years,
You have helped me overcome my fears.
I love you like there’s no tomorrow,
Where ever you go I’ll follow.
You’re my soul mate, my better half,
You always know how to make me laugh.
Each fight made us who we are today,
The bond is stronger now nothing can stand in our way.
Thank you for loving me and everything you do,
But mostly thank you for being you.
Poem - The Machine: Time Driven – Cathy P. Staley
By: Cathy P. Staley
Metal pieces,
The ocean breeze,
An open door,
As if to say, “Hello.”
The blood of man.
Stood up there,
And through his lips spoke to the world,
But throught the world is where his words now lay scatered.
Time passes by,
An old man died,
But not soon to be forgotten.
For in this man,
There was no fear,
To take a stand and to be heard.
Poem - Little - Skyler Wolf Jones
By: Skyler Wolf Jones
A little piece of dirt,
I see you, dried up in the scorching sun,
Waiting for a drop of rain,
To soak away the cracks and pain.
A little piece of land,
With dirt and bugs a little bland,
No vegetation growing in this earth,
I wonder what it’s worth.
A little piece of me,
Deserted from the life I know,
Is this the way I want to live,
No experiences to help me grow.
Moisture for the dirt,
Water for the land,
Emotion for my life,
And the will to take a stand.
All the little pieces,
Are essential for the whole,
All the little life experiences,
Are essential for your soul.
Give yourself a little dream,
Take a little glance,
At the life you’ve left out to dry,
Give it another chance.
Poem - Each - Skyler Wolf Jones
By: Skyler Wolf Jones
Each night each moon,
Will come and close the afternoon,
And I will still be there in the shadows,
Awaiting my time to shine.
Each day, each sun,
Will close the night and darkness there is none,
Casting my shadow of the day,
What will I become.
I listen to my soul when all is still,
And it tells me I am real,
It tells me I am doing right,
Each sunny day, and moonlit night.
Poem - Sickness - Jamie Lynn Waters
By: Jamie Lynn Waters
Sickness is a sad thing,
Watching the color fade from your face,
Wondering how your yesterdays are,
Did you live it to the fullest,
Or was it just a mistake, regret, or nothing at all,
It could be today,
It could be tomorrow,
I’m not looking for the sorrow,
But if there never comes a tomorrow,
I want you to be satisfied with the life you lived,
Even though you still hold so much life,
It’s slowly slipping from you,
Somewhere out there, there is more to life for you,
Even though I prepare myself,
I’ll never be ready,
I got one brother and preparation will never be enough for that day,
Although words go unspoken amongst us,
I hope you know that there is a plan for you,
And if it be that you go before you want to,
You’ll forever hold a place in my heart,
The memories left will keep us connected,
And the life you left here will know your legacy.
Poem - Thoughts - Jamie Lynn Waters
By: Jamie Lynn Waters
Sitting here glancing out the window,
I see a cow in the field.
I watch the lonely cow grazing in the meadow,
Chomping away at the freshly grown grass.
It is not quite a gloomy day, yet not sunny either.
I wonder what that cow’s thinking and what her life story would be like.
Would it be a story of sorrow, survival of the fittest, bliss, a memory, or nothing at all?
As the cow wanders off, my mind drifts again.
All these thoughts keep running through my mind endlessly, unexplainable.
What is out there in this world for me?
I’ve seen so much wrong that I don’t know what’s right.
Unanswered questions.
Does life have no purpose, or is there a meaning to all these thoughts?
There is now an empty grazing field, no more lonely cows.
Just trees and no sunlight, now a gloomy day.
Does this mean something?
The thoughts are slipping away like the clouds and now I see a light.
I shall follow the road untaken and make my life my memories.
It won’t pass me by.
Poem - Watch - Suzanne Grenoble
By: Suzanne Grenoble
My girl asks Mommy what’s the time? and I say
Time to sled into a snowpile, play
Make believe or cookie cop or
End the day leisurely bathing with
Unimaginable legions of friends
What time is it Mommy when the Big Hand touches twelve?
Time to stand up tall, to bat,
Stretch out long
Like a cat:
Mommy, the Big Hand is on the nine,
And the little hand is on the twelve, Mommy
Can I call someone? anyone, to tell them the time
And I say it’s late but I wonder
Can I teach you
Do I reach you
Can I wish for you
Trying to rush you from bath to bed but then
Stories drag out the decision
And the light stays on
And what time will it be
When I stop asking and forget that I ever did ask, and then
Ask while you write this, why are you writing this? And
The mother raises her eyes to her beloved to
Tell her how she looked
Asleep, oval face and long brown hair
Like a fallen angel, streaming dark across the white pillow
Poem - Selected Poems - Timothy Russell
By: Timothy Russell
They whirled and flurried from the sky.
They came to me in the middle of the night,
some silently, some clumsily bumping into things.
They stuck their tongues in my mouth.
Some slunk along the edge of the river bank
like feral cats. Some ran ahead of me
like those bumpkins in Pamplona.
They flicked their beautiful tail feathers.
They took things personally and sulked or pouted.
They undressed and they got dressed.
They spoke to strangers and took up with them.
Some recovered from one trauma or another.
Some did not. One saved somebody’s life.
They fed me. They traveled with me.
They ventured out of the woods
and nibbled dead meat beside the highway.
They whispered in my good ear.
They scuttled down the street
behind cars and muscular pickups.
They got taken in by shysters.
Some went off somewhere to find themselves.
They danced around in skimpy outfits.
Some slowly became themselves
as if they had no idea what else to do.
Poem - The Fifty Things Wrong With This Picture - Timothy Russell
By: Timothy Russell
None of this will hasten
or delay that dazzling flash
astonishingly brief on the horizon.
Some of these children have never seen
a river or an orchard or a pea pod
before today. Poppies and impatiens
that make you think “cinnamon”
instead of “cinnabar” perhaps
are in simultaneous bloom
with tiger lilies and chicory
along the road and bachelor buttons
and clematis near the porch.
The children are without dread.
They investigate every crevice
for the golden apples they’ve heard
about. Only this morning
a man in khaki drove a green tractor
through “that protected section
yonder” beyond which coal is being stripped.
Two starlings chase a sparrow
veering crazily but not dropping
the bread crust from its beak.
Not one detail here depends
on any other, not even the boy
in the chocolate and lemon polo shirt
about to discover a handful of bees.
