Autumn winds caress earth's sunburnt breast
And russet leaves regale bitter ground
Summer's final day fades in the West
As Earth becomes silent all around.

The English fields of gold; full of maize
Heads drooping now Summer days are past
God's artistic brush will soon erase
Yet in their place, will more beauty last.

Snowdrops and Bluebells raise their heads
To greet the sign of a new month born
Farmers place cattle into their sheds
And wild... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (MrLeslie) http://thegoldenquill.yuku.com/topic/3528 Sun, 19 Aug 2007 05:42:37 GMT http://thegoldenquill.yuku.com/topic/3530/t/Silence-now-.html Silent wars of silent yore

Silent ships on silent shore

Silent bombs, and silent guns

Silent fathers. Silent sons

Silent fields, and silent graves

Silent heroes. Silent braves

Silence now throughout the land

Bowing head, we silent stand.

To hope
To live
To God
We pray
To whom
We call
Each day
Be brave
To fight
To die
Abstain
From war
And yet
Sustain
For good
With strength
And truth
With hope
Not fear
Feel pain
Know joy
Give birth
Live strong
Fight on
Know right
Know wrong
We laugh
We cry
One day
To die
Be brave
No slave
No fear
Of death
Today
All pray
For peace
For now
And then.

In dark broody skies, ray of sunshine stalks
And East's own golden glow, now slowly walks
Stars creep into shells; sleep away the day
Yet some life will end; matters not we pray.

Why do we pray, in times of trouble need?
Have we not on earth, sown our fertile seed?
Has time on Earth, hurt many a good soul
Trying to achieve, each their greedy goal?

Where then from this sod, do our souls retire
When our time is nigh, and when we expire?

You forget how you did me such wrong
And I cried on my pillow that night.

You ask me to write you a love song
But the words were meant for another
My heart has been broken for so long
And your love had gone to my brother.

The words of love keep hurting my brain
And the reason then drives me insane
You broke my heart in two when you said
Just how your love for me was now... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (MrLeslie) http://thegoldenquill.yuku.com/topic/3531 Sun, 12 Aug 2007 01:29:25 GMT http://thegoldenquill.yuku.com/topic/3532/t/Love-s-Fairyland-Poem-of-the-Week-7-12-07-.html As the smile on your face, shows secrets keep
The restless turn, the dark look on your face,
Mirrors the moon, and stars that pale clouds chase.

Where are you now, as you give gentle moans?
Whilst the dark silent night modulates tones
Do you then wander through portholes of love?
Known only by Gods, and Angels above.

Am I in this dream that disturbs your sleep?
In a dark land where even Angels weep

I love to see the Cumulus clouds
Most alone; some gathered in crowds
All fluffy soft, and silently round
Floating on high in deathly a sound.

Some threaten rain; good for the flowers
Others just grey, bring trickling showers
Many are white, gleaming with sunshine
Drying the washing out on the line.

Fantastic shapes, like big soft mountains

Wooden ships bow down on bended knees
With silver weight of boundless glories
Stolen gold and adventure stories.

Why then do I hope, and why constantly dream?
As fate interferes with my every scheme
When every nuance, of a happy life
From just moderate wealth, and a faithful wife
Constantly avoid me; leave me dejected
And feelings, that I'm not very respected
Hoping that one day, sweetest dreams will come true
And my skies will remain, consistently blue

in sparkling mountain streams,
Cascading down to earth below,
The maker of life's dreams.

Brings smiles to furrowed brows,
Like grain it feeds the folk that toil,

As I stood there alone, crying in the rain,
My baby drove away, leaving me in pain,
She said someone else, had now become her life
But far as that goes, she never was my wife.

Remorse deep and heavy over the valley of the dead
Many men were lying still, with their tunics now blood red
Brave souls fought their enemy, with bayonet, lance and gun
But yet they won the day, and saw the enemy all run.

Ever onward rode the stalwarts: Ride then soldier ride!

Lilting music, happy songs

Drinking wine that special night

With someone that just belongs.

From rivers flow and flower bud
Yet knowing not the scan nor rhyme
Of sunset red and clouds that scud.

On silver trails as snails are born

But golden sheaves of rich ripe corn.
