Beautiful smile…

~ thereluctantpoet

Come and read the romantic poem – BEAUTIFUL SMILE on love’s journey.

thetonbeingme

I see your beautiful smile..
I chased it for a while…
Had you in my dreams for years…
As your love appears…
Slowly but surely…
You recognize the pure me..
And I saw right through you..
As if I already knew you..
Brand new..
As our love grew.
Shown so many trials and tribulations..
Tested our patience.
Showing our true beauty of being..
As we are beaming.
This is true life…
No more dreaming…
Our dreams have actually come true..
And you now can understand how much I do love you.
Written by me..

Henry David Thoreau

~ thereluctantpoet

Come bookmark Linda’s quote page. Here is her first entry from Henry David Thoreau (his famous – Different Drummer quote).

Scattered Notebooks

“If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because here hears the beat of a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. ”

I’ve added a Quotes page, so here is the first entry. I have this particular quote memorized. It has meant a great deal to me over the years.

After The Rain – Letter A in Alphabet Challenge

~ thereluctantpoet

Come and read the beautiful feelings and views in Kim’s – AFTER THE RAIN – A letter A in alphabet challenge.

kim

This morning the sky is sparkling blue,

a pleasant change to the bleak grey hue

that the rain of the past few days drew,

swirling across the bluebell bower

wispy clouds hold ice but no rain to shower

the wet brown earth and watered flower.

Hadidas grot among sodden leaves,

fish eagles fly high and soar with ease

their evocative cry the heart does please.

The air is warm, calm and sweet

newly cleansed of the the humidity and heat,

sunshine now a mellow, nurturing treat.

The Ticks and The Tocks

~ thereluctantpoet ~ 4 Comments

DO NOT MISS this wonderful poem on life, goals and dreams in THE TICKS AND THE TOCKS

ladyphoenix2016

clock Artist Unknown

Every now and then

I stop myself and ponder

Of my priorities and doings

And I wonder

Am I where I want to be?

Have I done all that I should?

Or am I, a wannabe?

Just doing what I could?

I will never grasp the Golden ring

By sitting and wishing

For a thing

Or so I contemplate

But let me not be

One who almost made it

Yet one, who overcame

And yes, rose above the doubts

For no matter how hard

You run, or walk

You will have to face

The Ticks and the Tocks

For the Love of Poetry

~ thereluctantpoet ~ 2 Comments

Come and read Nanditas’ beautiful love poem – FOR THE LOVE OF POETRY.

A Tangle of Weeds

The end is inevitable
Must we all not die?
Love will make us
Immortals though – you and I
(Love is the antithesis)

Seduce my mind
You may have my body
Seduce my soul
I’m yours eternally
(Love is the language)

But it is always so cold
In the shadow of your doubts
Harsh winter comes and goes
Lost in the fog are still my shouts
(Poetry is the guide)

When trust gets thin
Love be the answer
But if love be the question
Poetry be the answer
(Poetry is the Answer)

*For personal reasons, I had made all my poems from before April, private. I will repost those one at a time. Thank you for your indulgence.

SWIMMING WITH DOLPHINS

~ thereluctantpoet

Come and read this joyous poem – SWIMMING WITH DOLPHINS

wordsworthsmuse

COLD, LAPPING WATER,

THOUGH NOTHING CAN TAKE THE WARMTH FROM MY HEART,

CREATURES OF LOVE, SHARING THEIR FRIENDSHIP.

NOSE TO NOSE, I AM GREETED WITH SUCH HAPPINESS.

DOLPHINS, SO JOYOUS.

FEELING THE GENTLENESS.

ALONE, I AM THE INTRUDER IN THEIR WATERY WORLD.

THEY EMBRACE MY PRESENCE.

INTUITIVELY I FOLLOW THEIR LEAD.

SMILING, I SWIM AMONGST THE SWARM OF DANCING DELIGHTS.

AS THEY WELCOME ME INTO THEIR OCEAN HOME.

FIONA
