I thank you very much! I have found my binder of older poems, thinking to share a few with you all. 
(I wrote this last christmas, My first one away from home...  )
It is Christmas and the sun is shining bright
through a gray cloud of winter
The spray of the sea mists dampens me slightly
as I sit on cold stone
Missing
I pat the last of the rough wool blanket into place
A quick glance around the small room finds all secure
I walk to the window and look out to the sky
Gray with clouds of winter
Missing
I turn from the window and look back to the empty room
A book here, his coat there, a video game is paused
My youngest son is in here somewhere
Yet I look to the table where two empty chairs sit
Missing
Walking back in from the chill
I close the door behind me, basking for a moment in the warmth
My eyes catch the smiles of familiar faces in photos on the mantel
I sigh and carry the food to a busy kitchen
Missing
Everywhere there is an empty chair
Mothers, daughters, brothers and sons
Pausing in thought and memory,
Missing...

Yes, indeed! it is an awsome thing to hear the pipes, be it in the field or just behind the barraks. I have heard from many coming back from the deployment of a piper playing every night while they were there. They said it was awsome.
ps: there is also a all marine bagpipe band, the marines also have there own tartan pattern. |

My life is dark
fingers feel for anything
something to grasp in this world of empty loneliness
Touched a fire
troubled my heart
as it seared the surface of my skin leaving uncertainty
Curled close upon myself
nervous of trying
the pain slowly ebbing feeling of a used toy
Cautious
I stumble on
wanting but fearing all in the same heart beat
Soft warmth
puzzled I push closer
warmth eases into tense spirit as muscles ease and welcome
Suddenly overwhelming
I rise and fall
pleasure in every sound, every soft touch playful
Torn away
Though now alone
the warmth still abides sometimes
in dream and thought
I am content
with such as this
though it fills me as he glances my way, bright with laughter[/I] |

Hello! I stummbled across this site, quite accidentaly, looking for songs and poems of selkies. I have loved celtic music since I was a wee pup, singing many small little rhyms to recently the long loved ballads. I also play the classical guitar decently and attempting to learn the pipes. *LOL* It going well enough.... I also am an accomplished artist and recently poems have been flowing easily. After very little convincing, I have joined and am truly enjoying it.
Thank you for such a site! |
