Going thru some files on my computer, I ran across this poem/story I wrote. Thought I'd post it out here. It was during a time when I was trying to figure myself out.
A living, breathing, work of art, What would that be? What does one envision, Viewing the painting of me? As with all great paintings, there are many layers, many depths. Edges and lines sharp in contrast…blending into soft flowing curves. Colors in a various array from vibrant and glowing, to subdued and subtle. There is lightness in many hues, some over-powering, while others mere illuminations. And, inevitably, there is darkness. As all paintings do, when seen through various eyes, display a different image to the beholder. Some see what they want to see, looking at only the good and ignoring the ugly. Others try to see too much, and misjudge it's content. But there is that one person, that one individual, astute enough to see the painting for what it truly is. They will be strong of mind, strong of will, and strong with love. This person will see the smiles, the colors, the joys, and will feast upon them. Enhancing the painting, and themself, making both more alive. They will learn all the intricacies of the story the painting reflects, and will thrive for more knowledge. They will understand the sadness and the hurts in this living image...and will appreciate it all the more. But, to get to this one person, this one being, who can appreciate something extraordinarily unique. The painting, the living image, must...as most works in progress will...go through many trials and errs, upstrokes and down. Occasionally wiping the slate clean and beginning anew. For the painting, this living image, is always changing. Waiting for the right owner to hold it and make it truly a masterpiece. |

Seems like forever since I've posted one of my poems on here. I was sitting here listening to a song from my "Echos of the Glen" cd, which is soft relaxing music and nature sounds. This one had a rolling/crashing shoreline effect, which started the juices flowing for this poem. Not to mention the love of my life is leaving tomorrow for vacation....a week of fishing....and cannot be with him. I miss him already. Hope you like it.
SELKIE
Standing on the lonely shoreline Watching the waves roll in The cool mist caressing my face While a golden sun fades in the horizon
A soft, melancholy tune plays in the gloaming A lovers call reaching far and wide A beacon of my hearts desire Summoning my love to come home
Something splashes in the distance Ripples across the water, sparkle and shine Playful laughter floats on the breeze As I keep a vigilant eye on the waters edge
Quietly I wait upon the soft sand My body hums with anticipation of his arrival Soon he will emerge and don his skin As my Selkie lover walks as man |

A new one dedicated to the special man in my life.
You Are by Chele
You are... the sunrise to my morning, the light in my smile, the beat in my heart.
You are... the fire in my veins, the whisper in my kiss, the passion in my nights.
You are... the shoulder for my strength, the hope in my life, the love in my soul.
You are these things to me and more. |

On a sadder note though......this same friend lost his father recently. The night before the Wake, I could not sleep and an image formed in my mind of the two of them on the lake at dawn (they were avid fishermen). Along with things said and done during the illness, the poem started taking form so I had to write it down, lest I forget it.
May God hold you in his embrace Doc, until we all meet again. XOXO
Passing Strength
All those years you were my strength, my pride Now it's my strength they need, my pain I hide So many memories I'll cherish forever Held close in my heart, forgotten, never
Our last words were short and rushed No tears, no sadness, no one fussed "You know what you have to do" Your parting words, you were leaving, I knew
Next time I'm floating across the lake I'll look to the horizon and see your face No more jibes, laughter, or words of jest Your time had come and now you rest
Then as the dawn approaches and life awakes The golden rays across the water breaks I'll look down into the water and I'll cry "I Love You Dad" wiping a tear from my eye |

Thanks MacE! I appreciate the info! Sorry for not replying sooner....it's been a crazy summer.....yikes!!
This is a special poem I wrote about a very special friend.
You Are
The sun rises and sets in your eyes When you're happy they shine brightly When you're sad they are a deeper blue And when they look at me, they are warm and tender
The moon and stars glow with your smile Your laugh makes me smile and I cannot help but laugh When you frown I want to conquer your troubles And when you kiss me, I feel desired and special
The strength of the world flows from your hands A power that can move mountains Into a caress as genteel as a whisper An embrace that ensures protection and comfort
The energy of the universe emanates from within you A natural leader whom people respect and admire A keen intelligence that inspires others to strive for better Your aura vibrates through me, making me feel alive and complete |

QUOTE (MacEoghainn @ Apr 18 2004, 11:03 AM) | I found this poem on the internet while surfing for information on one of my favorite movies," The Hasty Heart", starring Ronald Reagan, Patricia Neal, and Richard Todd as Lachlan "Lackie" MacLachlan. I have always felt kinship to the Lackie character because he is a Scot, he would be a member of Clan Maclachlan (the Clan the MacEwen clan is a protectorate of, and the character even has the name of the original Clan chieftain and the current Clan chieftain), and the characters antisocial/loner tendencies I share (much to my regret).
MacE |
Wow MacE! That poem was very nice. Never saw the movie but your description of it sounds intriguing. Thanks! |

Barddas....I completely understand. I have been piece mealing the selkies poem in my head but haven't had a chance to put it to ink and paper. And in the mean time......sadly....I had my heart broken and this is my latest short one.
You begged me not to go Promised to wait, you told me so Pretty words have come and gone But you have left in my heart a hole
My mind is numb, chest aches to breath Loved you once, guess I always will Free me from this pain cries my soul And now my tears slowly spill |

Haldur........WOW! Both of your poems are incredible.
Almost afraid to post my wee poem that I wrote last night.....lol....but it was written at a moment of loneliness and sadness.
To know Love... Is to dance in the moonlight. To know Freedom... Is to follow the stars. To know Thyself... Is to face all your fears
All the stars in the universe, Mean nothing if you are afraid of the moonlight. |

Oh Shamalama! What a story! Don't know whether to laugh or feel sorry......or both. At least they got it all straightened out.
Valentines used to be very special to me......and recently I thought it might be again. I was wrong. Someone I was interested in, and thought was interested in me.....I found out has been jerking me around and playing me. I was very hurt, and have since told him to kiss off. (Not normally like that, but I don't have time for games and lies.)
Luckily I have a very good friend who was there for me. Just wish he didn't live so far away. Thanks CM!!! You are truly a sweetheart and I'm blessed to have a good friend in you. |

The Word Jon P.
This feeling I have inside I did not recognize at first Intense emotion flooded me That sated an ancient thirst
I walked awake, alone, alive, asleep Let others be my guide It was the only life I knew Thought I'd seen the brightest side
I see others hand in hand And wonder if they really know What they have If they have Or do they just think it's so
There is a word used constantly Everyday in life It is abused, used to deceive It's potential is denied
But I know this word so well again The memory has returned From ages past, from what we shared It's meaning I have learned
For every time I think of it I think of you as well It feels so strong inside of me That I can tell precisely Where in me my heart dwells
This and more tells me that The word inside is true And the feeling that comes with it Grows so much stronger too Every time at you I gaze....and say "Angel, I love you." |

Thanks again CelticRose. I have read in many books where they were called "fae"s.....including one prominent author (whom I cannot remember). However.....(there's always a however-lol)....according to my Scottish friends the word "fae" means "from", not "fairy".
Here is one that was written to me, by someone who was/is very special to me (my soulmate).
How Much I Love You Jon P.
I was born Into this world alone Naked and without fear I learned a different way to hear
As a child I grew Among those I never knew Never knowing how to act I was fiction more than fact
But as I lived and grew, I found A desire yet unlived, unwound Naught that others would understand And yet so close within my hand
As years passed so did my want For that which other had not I sunk in upon myself in learning Never completely denying my yearning
Never thinking it could be true Prepared to walk Earth without you It almost came to pass Blinded by the glass...the rest see through
But life had left One chance to fly Nearly missed By a chance to die...a lonely life
Fate said though "You're not ready yet There is still someone You haven't met"
Now I realize Happiness was just a second away from despair Because the universe said "It does not end here.....for you"
I listened one last time Before I left My heart empty And bereft
I called You heard You are my word
Naked again am I I hear clear this time I am yours And you are mine
I love you...as I always will For it can not be otherwise There is no choice We are living destiny |

Thank you CelticRose....you are always generous with the compliments. Although it's not your typical 4 line rhyming....lol....I thought it wasn't half bad.
Will have to work on my next piece.....and of course, it will more than likely be of the sidhe.....or possible the selkies. |

I hope to get to know lots of you.
