Friends forever:
through turmoil and broken hearts,
with care - giving answers to the whys;
consoling words - others forget to say,
drying each tear that besets the eyes
Friends forever:
none forsaken to forgotten trust,
moments shared - enriching the soul;
graced in fortunes of unselfish bonds,
treasures gleam, making life whole
Friends forever:
when fetching smile has lots to say,
no regrets finding time to spare;
a gestured touch to an open hand,
never doubting - it's always there
Friends forever:
guiding light to inspire the way,
a wish that dreams all come true;
spirits entwined - as being one,
same reflection like a mirrored view
Friends forever:
into the world some travel alone,
taken to inner-self from afar;
found true friend to set you free,
adored and loved- come as you are
A Friend forever.
C.E.Vance
Child of Death
Laying quiet in still, the bundle you hold,
creeping shades of gray growing so cold
Born to the world but finding only end,
weakness of the frail lifted by a wind
Forever in sleep, only angels know why;
passed over to Heaven on a lullaby
Cradled to breast and tended by heart,
tears eternal, without cease to the start
Held in your arms a loss of joyful bliss,
unspoken love given from softest kiss
Drawn breath of life faded to night,
to darkness succumbed a whispered light
All dreams forsaken to death’s shuttered eyes
unheard are the sobs as your mother cries
Come earthly days this child may never see,
but waiting is the kingdom of God’s decree
C.E.Vance
Child in Keep
Drifting to sleep, by the caress of a lullaby,
Come sights to see, thoughts whisk you far away
Tidings in tinsel, threshold promises all and more
A brush past chimes, soft jingle from hanging galore
Nowhere is too far, found treasures placed in a jar
Through eyes of children, a wish upon a star
Filled with dreams, melodies of happy songs
Wonders believed, taking flight on golden wings
Sail the winds, ride past majestic clouds
Into a land where castles are made of sand
Each joyous day, astride ponies on a carousel
Merry go round, play hide and seek behind a tree
Skip along journey’s path, laid length in cobbled stones
Kneel before placid streams, mirrored sight of your smiles
Reflections of light holding you safely through the night
Rise of morning, emerging star for following day
Across the fields, sun shining ever so brightly
Hope and laughter, greeting for travelers along their way
Behold their shimmer, hearts are held within your hands
Give glory in keep; find no child reason to weep
C.E.Vance
In depths of the heart holding your sorrowed fate-
lies a chill from the sweep of bitterest cold
Giving voice to the dreams that you'll never see,
tear defined words pass you into a darkened hold
Chamber of somber with grim shadows on its walls,
haunt memories weeping in the midnight of days
Images sketched in warm pastels galore,
mars the canvass with deceits it portrays
Promised yon past morrows - all bright starlight shines,
with facets on a whim offering more to fulfill
Played for a fool in sordid trapping's beckoned lure,
enticing charms came cast upon a weakened will
Tethered by chains directly linked to the soul
purveyor of shackles always glistened in your eyes
Grasping for hope with every offered wile,
shattered prayers on whispers now wise to the guise
Immersed in projections of a mirrored love,
returns you sought were nowhere to be found
From own hands comes end - with a last goodbye,
given to wind and skies, another spirit unbound
C.E.Vance
Shining LightMorning gave birth to a shimmering sapphire;
absent were clouds in the sun drenched sky
Horizons held captive dread winds of solitude;
day's dawning arrived shed of lonely sigh
Passing years, each cloaked in dusking gray,
faded within the brilliance upon this day
Into my life you entered adding light to shade;
from succumbing darkness - leading the way
Graced by the presence of eternal Father's son,
uplifted was sight beyond foreboding's mask
Pestilence of mind withered to a gentle touch;
sipped willingly was wine inside an offered flask
From vineyards of Heaven my spirit was fulfilled;
whispered words of acceptance conquered the night
Tomorrow's approach, once consumed in doubting fear,
comes welcomed today - immersed in Son's shining light

Broken Strand
Shadows forged with arising moon -
hears saddened whispered calls
Increasing darkness, slow to peak -
onward night seemingly stalls
Failing usher to lingered taunts,
chasing shadows that passed you by
Images play repetitive lose,
lamented words keep asking why
Depicted scenes in cloudy mist,
view to all of shattered fate
Slumber hides in yesterday’s wake,
more is lost as tomorrow's wait
Heartened memories bringing sighs,
fondest memories to dreams unshared
Instilled within lone evening’s hush,
love's tears to fall and never spared
Ceaseless shattered passing views,
creates a constant tangled maze
Longing seeks lost cared embrace,
soothing touch and tender ways
Arriving dawn brings exhaled shudders,
breath into lined linen with lace
Satin solace of a pillow’s fold,
now consoles your hidden face
Behind steeple's walls, a silent cold,
bells to molder with their toll
Veil in shreds, draping altar's aisle,
a discarded faded tattered stole
Withered flowers bearing thorny stems-
harshly pierce the enfolding hand
Bundled together with many hopes,
but all were tied with a broken strand
C.E.Vance
Fairest Maiden Heart
Fairest maiden heart, purest innocence, bequeathed in love to kingdom’s son of crown
Adorning laces wait, silken gowns, polished marble palace seen throughout the town
A mystical realm, shadowy dreams, roses now are held, grasped so firmly in her hands
Nuptials of marriage, in forever’s keep, never to crumble, lasting into the eternal lands
Child of wickedness, enchanter of dark, heart of evil black, your love a stinging scourge
Cast sordid spells, from domain of hell, son of the crown heeds no foulness you purge
Unwanted is love, of blasphemous soul, childhood long has passed; promises to never keep
Vowing secret love, innocent youths, has now forever changed, worship you at Satan's feet
Harbor your love, jealous of heart, no longer taint your soul; grant evil no more dues
Repent in grace, thoughts be pure, dishonor begotten seed, before heaven kneeled, ensue
Unheard are words, conscious dead to eyes, kin of blackest heart chants in mirrored hall
Reflect and mimic, maiden heart, image now as one, as bride I’ll dance at your wedding ball
This dreary night, maiden's life stolen away, I'll lay in comfort upon your bed
Breathless and still, tossed to the murky chills, deep are waters above the maiden's head
Chamber of conjures, witnessed by one, a stooge for tokens shares all that is learned
Cringer of shadows, treachery fetched to royal son,
