A Handful of Words, C.E. Vance [small books to read TXT] 📗

Tears for Thought

Shallow voices reign in daunting still,
moments tethered to will’s silent ponder
Unseeing eyes cast in a fixated stare,
images lost to mind’s faraway wander

Within a siege of merging reflections,
sights lay weeping inside a thought
Held tears replenished for loss retrieved,
reminisce of failure for love once sought

Summoned to fate came parting’s sorrow,
disclosed by taint from a nightly chill
Denied caress wallowed in bitter languish,
longing for a touch no phantoms fulfill

Belonged shades to ebon engulfed the days,
spawn of darkest pitch consumed each night
Whelmed despair bid farewell to slumber,
obscurity screamed in the deafening quiet

Vowed commitments strewn in heap and mass,
all their care entrusted to your heart
Forsaken promises formed a forlorn sigh,
saddened memories instilled from the start

Shared moments in thought spoken to another,
silence presented the lies you tried to hide
My love to you was given till ever after,
through the years I still find you by my side

Urgings in while call with their whispers,
voices reign in triumph over conscious will
Void to the eyes even though they are seen,
images stir with the call of daunting still

C.E. Vance

Symbol of Love

Adornment of burnished gold,
reflecting back on lifelong dreams
Seen upon an outstretched hand,
symbol placed, forever gleams

Cresting gem flickers with light,
transfixed look of continued gaze
Journey starts within the mist,
depicting scenes of cherished days

 

Falling tears from misted eyes,
wispy clouding of shadows cast
Memories sought often speak,
whispering echoes from the past

Spirit lives in mind and heart,
vows bestowed in altars aisle
Years were graced in clasp of hands,
beloved held closely all the while

 

Cuddled slumber nights content,
reveled embrace so tightly sealed
Taunting raptures serenade,
tending caress saw passions yield

Faltering heart never known,
faithful pledge folded to breast
Witnessed seasons thriving love,
sharing of lives was truly blessed

 

Hazy shades from teary eyes,
softly spoken the last goodbye
Lonely dwelling from within,
nightly content now taunts with sigh

In earthy bosom’s final bed,
silence surrounds your peaceful sleep
Satin chamber sealed with kiss,
caress will come from angels keep

Spirits in Heaven

Tomorrow as beginning -- a future untold

creation of wonderment -- their lives' to share

Pledged in heart -- spirits entwined

forward with dreams -- love always there

 

Suns each in rise -- bringing days to years

untouched by  time -- endearments strong

Forever beside -- with clasp of hands

each giving all -- carrying them along

 

Wake of moons -- cast by night

eyes that witness -- which heaven bears

Ones who follow -- mirrors of souls

shadows to self -- the future's heirs

 

Babes in cradle -- teetered for while

bundles of wonder -- making the home

Past now gone -- memories shine on

parted the children -- own roads to roam

 

Tomorrow as beginning -- a future untold

filled with wonderment -- lives to share

One to other -- pledged by hearts

forward their dreams -- love always there

 

Together in age-- final memories fade

sun to rise - brings last goodbyes

On  wakened  moon -- a haloed  light

both dreaming forever-- through angel's eyes

 

Mother to children -- eternal through time

father as always -- strength in kind

Arms of comfort -- a whisper away

looking toward Heaven -- their spirits you'll find

Songs Serene

Songs serene arrives with entrance's waltz,
likened to willow's swish in swell of breeze
Leisurely grace defined by shimmery sight,
image is host to sweeping gown's melodies

Allure of jasmine surrounds sauntered wake,
visage passes with a charm filled wile
Showered light mirrored in sequins donned,
jeweled radiance gleams from a lovely smile

Within haloed mist lies beauty shed of veil,
guises of pretense paint no assuming shades
Ambrosia is savored to beholding eyes,
forever in memory, a scene that never fades

Gentle caress to petals splashed in early dew,
bathe flowers beneath sapphire colored skies
Favored each day with blossoms moistened kiss,
dawn greets presence with another sun in rise

Holding you closely in morning's embrace,
Heaven yields surroundings of paradise to you
Succumbed to the sight as your presence nears,
a wishful peek into Eden's garden comes true

Songs serene arrives with entrance's waltz,
draping of a gown wisps the willow's song
Refinement of grace displays a shimmering view,
in my fondest dreams the melody plays long

Someone There

A shard of hope - to ease burden's trial,

softly come words spoken from caring heart

Assuring voice calming the urge of doubts,

reaching destined dreams from new journey's start

 

Solace is offered in an outstretched hand,

a gentle touch to help guide you along

Placing to way misfortunes that bind,

earnest in effort, making the weary strong

 

An angelic soul accustomed without wings,

sent from Heaven, though never taking flight

A shining presence, born dust from earth,

wholly adorned in glow of  halo's light

 

Forward your eyes, looking past tears inside,

a time to reflect - and challenges to unfold

Fulfill lost moments scattered in the past,

shadowed turmoil - the forgotten untold

 

Delivered by whispers upon a prayer,

someone to hold you with love to spare

Arrives a stranger bringing a lasting smile,

a new found friend willing to be there

 

C.E.Vance

Rises a Dream

A tranquil touch from moonlight's allure,

prompts night's whisper to slumber's embrace

Visions beneath the soft golden blush -

depicting a wondrous time and place

 

World with horizons that never end,

their beginning is where fortune lies

With outstretched hands capturing the stars,

every wink is witnessed by your eyes

 

Gleaming facets to always endure -

journeys beyond  the cover of night

Toss away whimsy's fanciful jewels,

ones that truly sparkle - hold them tight

 

Ascend to farthest reaches of skies,

waken your dreams with every dawn's  rise

 

C.E.Vance

Pleasured Depths

To depths I fall into the haunting,

consumed by the leisure of your soul

Aura akin to stilled stealthy dawn,

'held presence taking its breathless toll

 

In painted décor of soft whispers,

speaks the hush from impassioned eyes

Alluring tempt by fiery sapphires,

sweeps with desire - appeasement's replies

 

Simmers the touch with each sultry glance,

enchanting beauty casting a spell

Air alluding to shared savored bliss,

all fantasies and longings to quell

 

Titillating taste from moistened lips,

stokes the fervor of bewitchment's wile

Drawing you close with purposed caress,

comes felt tremble - with agreeing smile

 

Every lovely contour traced by hands,

pausing to heighten sensual sighs

As I take your sweetness to my kiss,

room's ambiance enthralls to sound's rise

 

To the depths I'll take you as I fall,

promised pleasures to body and soul

A loving aura being the dawn,

forever sharing its breathless toll

 

Dream for all wonders,

non-ending from start

Always in thought,

lady of my heart
