The Poems – Oct. 4, 2008

Here are two poems I wrote the other night. These are not to make you laugh so, if after reading them you feel like busting out, please remember that I am not a poet and not really trying to be one I'm just "tinkering". These things just come to me once in a great while and it feels good, somehow, to write them down. I posted one a LONG time ago on this very blog so this is not the first time.  Hold on, here we go!

A pearl of wonder

A pearl of great price

Locked deep inside

Sealed, out of sight

 

A lamp aglow

Beneath the basket

No light does show

Seeming dead, a casket

 

Unlock the depths

Unleash the light

Into the darkness

Glorious sight

 

 

Number two:

 

First bite so sweet

Now eyes opened wide

Shameful faces flushed

Longer to abide

 

Naked they fled

Running to hide

Seeking them out

Surely to chide

 

In pain and sweat

Now to live

Love sought them

Still willing to give

 

The price to be paid

He knew in his heart

In darkness wad laid

But soon to depart
