The echoes may fade into solitary hours

Graves strewn with commemorative flowers

Yet Memory lives in the Heart

in the Mind

Remembrance not forgotten

of Sacrifice that Binds.

 

In Loving Remembrance of all those who have and who still do serve this country/ Every country. On this day of Honour as we recall the sacrifices made, it may be the best time of all to understand that ALL soldiers serve for love of their own country and to protect and honour the way of life THEY hold dear. Right or Wrong, Truth or Lies, the Soldier carries the heaviest burden.

.

Performed By Sgt.MacKenzie

Scottish:
Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun

When they come a wull staun ma groon
Staun ma groon al nae be afraid

Thoughts awe hame tak awa ma fear
Sweat an bluid hide ma veil awe tears

Ains a year say a prayer faur me
Close yir een an remember me…..

harrowing-tide

.

Darkness Sings in the Witching hour,

As spectres writhe in Sublime Masquerade,

Witless watching goes unnoticed

While worries and doubt march in Parade;

Shadows spiraling in the ebon void,

Calamity slurking into the Lush Unknown,

Colours fading into blankness

As Daytide waits, muted and prone;

Delicate Splendour reaches in irony

As all that is stale encroaches and bides;

Mists of Memory murmuring mundanely,

As Silence floods in,

A Most Harrowing Tide.

Sorrowful songs

Played in melancholic Tones

Echo from the translucent night

While the Midnight hour drones

Calling the Captive

Seducing the hardened and wise

While harbingers of Yesterday

Whisper Haunting Lies.

Bide the hours of Silver Lethargy

Symposium of shadows in swirling haze

Mocking the Glimmers of Brightest daytide

As words and music shrivel and fade

Silence beckons in Silver Lethargy

Whispers Unheard serrating

As Darkness Grasps with manacle claws

And Laughter echoes, Mimicking and Prating

Silver whims and ebon sighs

Leeching from the cowl of night

As heartbeats pause and breath subsides

Waken to Emptiness

Live in Fright!

Shades of Autumn

Shades of Autumn Tempt my Thoughts

In nodding Whispers of Shimmering Dreams

Soft upon the auburn wing

As Weary Summer Quietly Gleams.

Red-autumn-morning

Walking in the Autumn Morn,
October chill upon the Air,
Late, Sol rises from the Celestial Bourn
To Kiss the Frost with Brazen Flair.

Smiling Morning, Singing Light,
Huddled in Evening’s Dulcet Affection,
Linger Warm upon my shoulder
Like sugar and spice Confection.

Silence Rouses from slumbering,
Midnight turns her Cheek away,
Daytide stretches forth her Hand,
In an Unsullied Surfeit Array.

Anguish Settles

.

Sanction Not the Loss of Life,

the Rending, Tearing,

Corrupting, Destroying,

Maiming, Hurting,

Riotous Calamity

That falsely names itself

Truth

Prompting War; Intolerance, and Violence

On All Sides,

For where Hate Meets with Battle

Where Lies are Raised Vitriolically,

Anguish Settles her Bitter Shadow

And Shall Not Be Moved.

Perfection in Union- #LovePoetry for #SoulMates

Soul Mates

Long We have been separated, Love,
Though in the Dawn of Existence we Kissed Each Other Sweetly.
Born of One Spirit,
Lingering in Breathless Anticipation,
Sharing Each Thought,
Each Breath,
Each Moment,
Unified in Perfection, Perfection in Unity.

Birth brought division, separation, desertion,
Calamity of loneliness and confusion.
Each day I have sought You,
Seeking the Beauty of Your Eyes,
Listening for the Allure of Your Voice,
Reaching for Your Exquisite Hands,
Yearning for the Splendor Your Touch,
Desiring none but You.

Alas, Love, my Search was Fruitless.
Stolen Time, Ineffectual Years,
Breaking the Hourglass of Patience,
Diminishing Essence to Pallor.
Inescapable Longing.
Silence.

Until A Glimmer Escaped the tedium,
A Question Poised on Possibility,
Hope Sprung from her hiding place deep within my Heart
At Seeing You,
Recognizing You,
Though I knew not Your Name,
Certain only of the Pounding of my Spirit,
The Trembling of my Heart,
The Longing Intensified disproportionately.

Waiting
In Patience, Praying
In Diligence, Believing
In Expectant Certainty.
You Are He!
Made For Me, Made With Me,
Sweet Handsome Harmony to my solitary Melody.
Breathe with Me, Again, My Love,
Unified in Perfection, Perfection in Unity.

Life is All you Ever Want it to Be,
When you spend the Least amount of Time
Worrying about how to Make it Be
All it Is.

Standing Alone

Silence Grieves

Standing Alone

Yet

Bear not the Burden of Sorrow into the darkness

Alone

For where your shadow falls into shade,

There my love waits,

Standing Alone

Cascading Melody – #Love #Poetry

Spinning cosmos

Cross the Skies that Rain Starlight,

Dripping Moonbeams Upon my Door,

Casting Shadows, Ethereal Bright,

Tides Endlessly Caressing the Distant Shore.

Waking Hours Find me Dreaming,

Upon my Pillow I Cheat the Sun,

Drifting like a Comet Beaming,

Flying where No Others run.

Cascading Melodies Pour from the Sky,

Dispensing Logic into the Fray,

Silence Echoes, Soliciting Why?,

Spinning Eternity, Day by Day.

Sweet Beatitude

Seraphim upon the wing

Descending and Ascending

With the Harmonious Joy they Bring

Lullaby of Delicate Night

Miracle of Angelic Light

Hearken to the Majestic Sight

While Choirs of voices Harmoniously Sing

Sweet Beatitude

Gathering All unto its Song

While Darkness tolls, an impending throng;

Tender Mercy Harmoniously Rings

A Sweet Beatitude.
