BACK FROM EARTH


I'm back from Earth
Still searching for my Juliet
With these words I don't regret
The feelings....they spring from my soul
Like stars being swallowed like a large black hole

If you like I'll change the tone
But please don't let me be the one to be lost alone
Is there another poet who can take my lead?
Is there a woman who will accept my seed?

The game of life has turned lonely and gray
Is there a woman who will come my way?...
With smiles of sunshine and poetry in her heart
How long must I wait to let these feelings start?

Oh Juliet, wherefore art thou
Do you still exist in this world of plenty....
Or am I destined to live in this land of cyberspace
Searching for love in a mean and ugly race

A race that shows no signs of real life
Won't you please answer me now and become my wife.

Daniel

Daniel,

Nice job.

Viper...escape with me to my world of roses and red wine
Speak to me in metaphors of passion so fine
Follow me as I lead
Comfort me as I bleed
Take hold of my hand as we enter a new place and time
Come with me as I recite your poems with sincerity and rhyme
Your words are needed to make our world come to life
Won't you be my Juliet in time and speak to me like a wife
Come now Viper...let the words spring forth from your soul
I welcome you in my world...won't you please help me find my role?

Daniel

A REASON TO START....from my heart


Any time at all.......you don't have to wait to call
I'll still be here writing from my soul
Like Romeo searching for his Juliet

Does Juliet exist in modern times.....can she feel my rhyme?
Is she in England or a bright sunny beach
Is she out of reach.......will she touch my heart
Will she give me a reason to start?

Speak to me my English rose
Talk thru you hands and into my heart
Give me a reason to start
Can you get my drift or has that passed you by
Look up to the sky and reach for the moon
I will be there to greet you soon

Will you give me my start?
Reach deep down inside and speak from your heart
It's easy if you try
Don't let life pass you by

A modern day Juliet is all I ask to come my way
Please, Juliet don't pass us by
All you have to do is try and your heart will lead the way
My words are here for you......here to stay

Daniel,

You do a great job writing poetry. Thank you for sharing.

From one who shares to one who cares
Thank you for reading my poems and caring enough to state how you feel
Your kindness is sincere and real
May God bless you in everything you do
I continue to write to make other dreams come true
The kind that are seldom seen
May your love remain evergreen
Heather, this poem is for you...to have and to hold and to remain my friend
May your dreams come true and never have an end

Daniel

Daniel,

Wow! Thank you for sharing this!

The pleasure is all mine, my dear

Here's another poem to say I care
To show you how much I want to share
If I give you a little piece of my heart
My heart and my soul together
Then my words may be part of your heart forever
So thanks again for reading what I say
And may you find happiness each and every day!

That's really nice! Thank you for sharing!

Come escape with me to another land
It's easy...just take my hand
My true love is there to greet
She is my princess tonight...I want you to meet
We call her Viper but Heather is here name
I hope my words will give her fame
Shine on my darling until I return home
You will always be welcome in my pleasure dome
May each day pass with love in your heart
For your love has given me a new place to start
Where life may lead us may now be up to you
If our love is true
May God lead me back to you

That Love is universal amd meant for you and me!

1968

Let me take you back in time
To the year before 1969
It was a time of change but also a time of hate
The year that I speak of was 1968
We could believe in the dream of Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy too
They were men of conscious speaking out for me and for you
We started the year in turmoil as the Vietnam War continued to escalate
There seemed some hope when President Johnson said he would not run again....but would Bobby enter the race too late?
Then it happened...the hate grew worse
Dr. King was slain in Memphis...was America under a curse?
We still had hope that another Kennedy would make our lives better as the convention drew near
Finally, we could see some hope as it became clear that this would be Bobby's year
To carry on the goals and ideals of the Kennedy name
But alas, Bobby too was gunned down and slain.
Now what did we do?.....we elected a President named Nixon who was a liar and a cheat
If only we knew of the wrongs he was doing while sitting in the oval office seat
Oh, what might have been in 1968
But it seems that our country was a little too late…
To see that men of vision sometimes can change the world with justice and peace
But we all must strive to work together if the killing is to cease
I believe in the principles that the Kennedys gave us all
It was powerful enough to finally tear down the Berlin wall
But like anything else, freedom and goals take time
So please remember the goal we achieved in 1969
When we landed a man on the moon, we fulfilled President Kennedy's goal
We rose above a dream and made reality come true
May Dr. King and Bobby Kennedy do the same for you
We can still change the world like in 1968
But this time let's do it with love instead of hate!
It's time to act on love and not hesitate.
Together we can change the world....but we must not wait
It's never too late....just reach inside and demand justice and truth
It will lead you to love....can you still remember your youth?
1968 could have been great
Let's not let those ideals be lost to our fate
If we reach deep inside to find what is right and what is true
Then the spirit of these men will live on in me and also with you

Daniel,

Nice job!!

THE KENNEDY MYSTIQUE



There is this thing called the Kennedy mystique
In America….during the 1960’s….it was truly unique
It started with Camelot in the Whitehouse as the decade began
The youth, the vigor, the innocence projecting in the people living throughout the land
With JFK and Jackie…their love affair seemed true
If not for one another, they were sincere to me and you

With the death of the President, Jackie held the country together as Bobby fought for our human rights
And even as America was tearing itself apart, we always had the hope and vision of his future presidency someday in our sights
But as the decade drew to a close…
Bobby too was slain and the questions again arose

Was this the end of the Kennedy mystique or was JFK Jr to fulfill our dreams and someday bring hope to the meek?
As the years went on…
Jackie continued to bring elegance and glamour to the Kennedy name
But, alas, America and the Whitehouse would never be the same
For JFK Jr was lost in a plane crash and Jackie too has now passed away
But the Kennedy mystique is a part of America and will always be here to stay

For they touched us so much in their living years
And helped us all overcome our deepest fears
May they always be remembered for making America a stronger nation when we were still very young, innocent and yes, quite unique
For we must never forget the glamour and the elegance of the Kennedy mystique!


Daniel
