BEHIND THE EYES

Behind the eyes, the mystery lies.
What drives creative souls?
Tortured dreams and hidden seams
That stitch together goals.

What demons lie beneath the skin to fire those passionate greens?
Exorcised, you cut their ties, by all, and any means.
Releasing all the fears in you, exposing them to light.
With darkest shadows chased away, again, you welcome night.

The loves, the pain, the loss, the gain, recorded by your pen,
Wiser from experience, you’d do it all again.
You weave a perfect cloth creating beauty from your heart.
Emotions welling deep within, and bursting from that part.

Coming from that sacred place that only you can share
Reaching out to kindred souls who’s touch you feel in there.
Guided by a perfect light, your Father leads the day
And fills your cup with thoughts to spend in stops along the way.

Connecting with a heart so pure, I’m pulled toward the source.
Unable to resist its call, I’m moved by unseen force.
Hypnotic, rhythmic, ebb and flow, I give in to the wave.
My boat capsized, I’m mesmerized, and I become your slave.

Waiting for your latest work to give me inner peace.
To take me to that happy place where all my sorrows cease.
I ask the Lord to bless you on the journeys that you take
And thank Him for inspiring all the magic that you make.

NEVERLAND

The Knight bows to the fair maidens and extends his hand in gratitude.
Thanks for all your kindness in bestowing me such latitude.
Sharing my poetic verse has thrilled and pleasured me.
Continents like poet's hearts are joined by treasured sea.

Our virtual reality created by this place.
Reaching out to kindred souls with words and gentle grace.
A home for those who share the gift, manipulating words.
An oasis where our spirits lift, multiplying herds.

Fruitful in our daily quest, we search for perfect prose.
Rushing here to post our best, to wear our favorite clothes.
Combining nouns and adjectives, verbs and similes.
Accepting each and every one, liberation frees.

In Neverland our moments spent, here, there is no time.
No discrimination and the currency is rhyme.
No one passes judgement, all are welcomed here.
Family embraces you, and so, there is no fear.

Freedom of expression's how the Constitution starts.
Everyone's encouraged to sing the music of their hearts.
Have a go and shine your light reflecting inner beauty.
Appreciating glow's considered every members duty.

Wow, thank you Nika. I see that you are green with envy, oh wait, those are tatoos. My bad. Lovely shade of green, however. I'm 1/16 Irish. So it's all good. Do you have a shamrock?
