Your Love Protects Me

Today a gale blows and a tempest doest rage,
Poseidon’s wrath borne with menace,
With decks awash and hope lost,
I think of my love so fair,
As the winds plays a mournful tune in the rig,
I remember the calm nights spent,
The warm days and short walks,
Nay, I will not give up,
Batten the hatches, stow the gear, lads!
Hold course, watch the lee and stay fast,I will see my love again this day

Friday 5 poem

Gears of War

Bloodshot eyes rolling through

Pinion soldiers grinding gears of war

Endless movements of gypsy travel

Devastation hangs in heavy mizzen

Beckons forever thirsty for conquer

Across the Sea

The midday sun warms my soul

A gentle breeze stirs tendrils of salt air

Minnows gingerly nip at my toes

High above the lone gull cries

You laughing at me again, silly bird?

Pay no never mind, nothing can dampen this spirit

For you see, I have deep joy in my breast

The return of my love may be today

From across the sea he is long overdue

With all my heart I worry not

For on the day my love departed

The long embrace and soft kiss

Told me of his safe return to my arms

So laugh you silly bird

For on the morrow it may be "Sail Ho!"

Your Love Surrounds Me (Paradelle)

Soft as the wind blows
Soft as the wind blows
Stay close to me heart of love
Stay close to me heart of love
Wind of love blows close to me
Stay soft as the heart

Silently, Secretly, warm my soul
Silently, Secretly, warm my soul
Love so gentle, Love so strange
Love so gentle, Love so strange
So gentle, so strange, secretly love
Silently warm my love soul

Through lofty heights it beckons
Through lofty heights it beckons
Flowing lovingly, soft as a whisper
Flowing lovingly, soft as a whisper
Lovingly flowing through lofty heights
Soft as a whisper it beckons

Lovingly warm my soul
Flowing wind blows silently through lofty heights
Secretly stay close to me
As the heart of love beckons
Love so strange, so gentle
Love it soft as a whisper

Your Love Surrounds Me

Soft as the wind blows

Stay close to me heart of love

Silently, secretly, warm my soul

Love so gentle, Love so strange

Through lofty heights it beckons

Flowing lovingly, soft as a whisper

Sweet essence, pure and comforting

Majestic in rhythm, Mighty in melody

Unflinching in desire, Unfaltering in compassion

Hope eternal wraps my soul

Joy forever lulls my deepest thoughts

In comfort I rest, In peace I stay

You Love surrounds me every day

Just a little tidbit...........

Here's your first bite, its basically a prologue paragraph to the first book. It is short, but it sets a tone which will foreshadow events that take place in the trilogy. When I decided to try my hand at writing a novel, I originally decided on just a sci-fi novel. But something happens when you start writing, your characters seem to become more real, more flesh and bone. You start to feel like you know each of them intimately and so this realization sort of change my direction for the book. I decided I need to develop a relationship between two of the main characters which I hope will bring more of a twist to the storyline than just a straight sci-fi adventure novel. We'll see, anyways here is the prologue and I will post part of the first chapter soon.

The Outer Rim - The Awakening

Prologue

It’s dark. Space is always dark…..and cold. Sure there are stars, galaxies, gaseous anomalies and objects older than time itself. Even with these however, it remains dark and cold. There is no comfort in staring into space. The mind wanders, memories good and bad vying for attention. Mainly it’s the coldness and emptiness that gets you. One day, maybe the pain will stop. Maybe…..one day.
