Title: A Poet's corner .
Post by: Arnold on March 10, 2010, 12:51:28 pm
Like to start this Thread for anybody that has ever written a Poem to ones Lady / Wife . Please share .

I been working on this new one for a few day's now and just finished it this morning .

A Singing Flower !

Listen ... listen , one can hear ...
far in the Distance ,
a Song in the Wind .

Listen ... listen , coming like a gentle ...
Breeze towards your Ear .

Feelings ... feelings , are spreading
throughout the Air
giving one a chill
to know something is near .

Listen ... listen , as the Breeze
comes closer .. a Song will follow
it's from my lovely Flower
coming over me like a shower .

A Singing Flower ...
is showing her Love
through a Song to my Ear
Feeling ... feeling ,
that she is indeed very near .

I also will give this to my Brother in-law's Son , that writes Music and see if he can put this into a Song also .

Be careful Arnold - there is a songwriter on here who writes the words and music professionally.  Yours is probably already on its way to Los Angeles!!!

Here is a poem I have been working on over the weekend.

Night after Night

I fall asleep Night after Night
She appears in my dreams
From the darkness dressed in white
Is the angel of my dreams

Night after Night I dont understand why she stays
She touches my hand and cries, now the pain is in sight
The look in her face shows she has been hurting for days
But I can feel her heart is full of love and so very bright

I wonder why Night after Night she appears in my dreams
I try to make her laugh, I try to make her smile
It is trust in men I hope she redeems
A trust in me I have longed for awhile

I continue to dream of her Night after Night
I must be patient for I want her heart
I dont want her to leave her presence is a delight
Even though this is just the start

I want her to return Night after Night!

Very nice Jo-Ma ! Is this your first or one of many ? Some of us really might just have a hidden Talent , that those Ladies bring out in us .
Title: RE: A Poet's corner .
Post by: Josh Markley on March 14, 2010, 09:58:20 pm
Yes, it is the first.  I do have a heart full of many other ideas.  I am very glad you started this thread though.  It kinda gives me a voice on the forum again and away to express what I feel.  It indeed is the ladies that bring out our artistic beauty.

Great thread, thank you for sharing.

Phantom of the Opera is one of my favorite musicals, second only to Les Miserables.  One of Sir A.L. Webbers best pieces. ( he was knighted wasn't he?)  It is very fitting to this thread also, as from my understanding, that Webber wrote that to showcase Sara Brightman's voice when they were still in the courtship phase of their relationship.  Brightman is one of my favorite female singers.  

The other topic, the Osmunds, with Marie in particular.  I had the biggest crush on her in middle school.  A few years ago I was able to enjoy a free concert that she was featured in during the winter concert series that the Air Force Band presents at Constitution Hall here in Washington.  I went with a friend and his girl.  When Marie came out to sing and dance my friends girl leaned over and whispered; "You know that's not her real hair?"  I whispered back; "I am sure though that those ARE her legs!"

I'm sure that if we all put our heads together we could write a TONY nominated show.  China Love: the Musical.  With the drama, passion, I know we would only have to write a few bridging story lines to make it a very enjoyable show.

I have written this poem with anticipation of my up coming trip. I will leave March 30th and be in China until April 21st. The poem plays to the months we are, and will be, in and also tells which airline I will travel with. I hope to have a chance to meet with Shaun and Chong (hey even that kinda rhymes :sleepy:) And I do plan on planting a solid kiss :heart: upon the lips of my wife, thus the jest of my poem.
Enjoy as I am sure, I will.


As this month Marches to its end
Across the sea soar I to my beloved
Tears fall with joy liken April showers
May bring scented flowers
crushed in sweet embrace
Tis a wonderful picture sketched in bliss
of parted lovers united by a wondrous kiss

Here is a poem I wrote and have used three times now. I am hopeing for the third time to be the charm of course. :icon_biggrin:
 
My Porcelain Doll

She is so exquisite

She has skin as smooth as silk

She looks like an angel

She has hair flowing like beautiful ribbons

She has eyes that sparkle like diamonds

She has a dazzling smile

She is so petite

She fills the room with happiness

She doesn’t belong sitting on a shelf

She belongs by my side

Nice Chad , you proof not all Poem's need to Rhyme to be wonderful and romantic .

Well Guy's , here is my newest . It's funny how close Chad's and mine ( which I finished last week are ) .

A China Doll

There is a place
far for some soul's
known to be very busy
as it moves with a fast pace .

Many people proud dearly
a beautiful land
taking a wide look
and seeing it clearly
lovely women truely
sometimes tall they stand .

Called by various polls
to have the most awesome sight's
judged by foreigner's eyes
that can make ones walk stall
here I see a china doll .

writing the poems are very nice but i find that i dont have the talent for that.
 but i do write my wife long notes and leave for her when she wakes up and also
 comes home. i found out last week when she bought something at the store a very
very nice folder which i thought was for her work at the office but in fact when we
got home she had put all the short letters in it and on the front she wrote
   my love letters from Ted

she showed me this with a smile as big as ever on her face

i thought that was really nice and made me feel good that these are so so important
to her that she will save them forever.

just my little twist on this thread even though i dont write poems

Well Arnold,

I might never reach your level, but it was a nice start when I wrote this one.

I have been searching for half the live,
two times I made the wrong choice.
The third time I find the right wife,
but in a far away country she lives.

Many miles away,
but at the same time close.
In my heart she stay,
She will never leave it again.

We have been brought together,
by the unknowable fate.
We have promised to stay forever,
in the heart of the other.

We have the feeling of the soulmate,
the same thought on mind.
Communicate from early to always late,
like real lovers do.

Do not want to let go,
listening to the voice of the mate.
Why would it be though,
sometimes I ask myself.

It not easy a reason to find,
what the heart already knows.
It takes time for the mind,
to understand that we are in love.

Ted , it's really the little things that show sometimes sooo much more .. how one is loved by the other .. than some material things we give or receive .

Hajo , anything worth the effort of writing from the Heart .. is worth more .. than some words spoken . This is truely one way to show a Man's love towards his Lady .
PS: Are you still on your Honeymoon like I am ? I bet you two are .:icon_cheesygrin:

The Butterfly

Like the butterfly emerging from its cocoon
to the first rays of the morning from the spring time sun.
A sight that is rarely seen, and even less
appreciated for what it is.
You ask me, what is the butterfly?
I tell you the butterfly is you,
the butterfly is love emerging ,
Made into flesh and bone,
into the very air you exhale.
The butterfly represents
how I feel about you when I see you.
Like the sun is to the butterfly
I shall be to you.
I only survive to warm you heart.
You are the air I inhale,
the ground that supports me,
you complete my soul.
I love you.

Wrote this one to my lady on the third day of my visit with her.
She seemed to like it. It was promptly sent to all of her friends and given to her family. She still talks about it. I have more I may post later.
I write a lot of poems. Most of the American cowboy poetry.

So here is another one , because me thinking of my poor LaoPo at Home and being sad having failed the Driving test .
After gulp'in my Lunch down , I wrote this in honor of my Qing .

A disappointed Flower !

A Flower .. to survive
needs special care ..
water and sunshine too .

Growing over some time
becoming more beautiful
as the day goes by
reaching to be near her prime .

Being loved can never hurt
this can make a Flower smile
but there are always day's
my Flower want's to shine .

Only to find no sun
at a very important hour
incountering the unwanted rain
leaving my Flower in despair
and in much pain .

Post by: Arnold on July 29, 2010, 11:34:43 am
Guy's , here is another Poem .. that I kind of was pressured into writing .. as Qing mentioned to me the other night . Your are not as Romantic as before , when we were apart and waiting to see each-other again . This of course brought out my Pen and Paper again real fast at my Lunch break yesterday . So , I like to share what became of this quest to stay my Romantic self . haha

My Sunshine !

Qing is the name of my Sunshine
brightening and warming my Heart
each and every day of my Life

Qing not only shines during day's
but also the lenght of the night
how wonderful it is
to be calling that Sunshine mine

Never to be without light
having her near and always bright

As one can see
I'm mostly satisfied and in delight
to have Qing's Sunshine by my side .


I certainly hope I still have it and never lose it .

Hey Arnold, seems like our ladies are operating on the same wave length.

My wife runs part-time her own business teaching music and drawing. She also holds some English classes helped by our ex agency translator and friend Guang Han. She wants to update her advertisement and asked me to write some words and choose some pictures.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Shenzhen travellers will discover the many wonders found at  Window Of The World
 In Shenzhen can also be found the window into my soul.

 For she graces here my beautiful lady, grander then a giant flower filled urn
 And it is to Shenzhen that my heart burns in its desire to return

The future unknown, hard to behold and dazzling with endless possibilities
but solace can be found under an umbrella crafted from Chinese culture and prose

Let these words echo my quest as across the sea my Heart does roam
To China its people, its places I Love and now call Home
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As can be seen by the last picture, my wife did post pictures of Shaun and Mike without asking their consent. I hope you guys are not to harsh on her. She neither told me about it and I only found out from this picture she sent me.

Ron, I am OK with the picture as long as the royalty fees are sent to Peggy.  She will save the money.  ;D

Post by: Arnold on August 19, 2010, 02:20:45 am
I wasn't sure if I would post my latest Poem here , but after Qing and I read it and I explained it in every detail .. I will now .

A Man's Poem

What drives a loving Man
looking into his wife's eyes
trying to do all he can
keeping romance true and nice

Inside he's full of love
willing to share it all
doing not always the right thing
well you know that could be tough
also take an unexpected fall

This will happen when trying too hard
to always wanting to please
but running out of idea's
loosing fate in himself
leading to lessen his love

To keep it fresh and honest
the Man must now look back
why he fell in love one past day
he will see what made him special

Look again to his wife's eyes
let her know she's still the one
and i will always be pleased
to keep the romance true and nice

A Man's Poem .. his friend
and most of all .. peace .

Post by: Arnold on August 03, 2011, 06:46:45 pm
Well , under my own pressure of not having written another Poem for my LaoPo .. I did manage to drag one out of my Skull . ::)

One might take this the wrong way , but it is meant for ... well Qing and Myself at least ... never ending
" HONEYmoon " .

Honey from a " Well " .

Two kinds of Honey exist
both produced by a Bee
so no need for a long List

The most common of course
everyone knows and loves
comes from Flowers as a source

The second more plentiful
but away from a Bee with wings
some kind two People share
it is made from Love of all things

Never to be put on Bread or in Tea
if you ask me honestly
this Honey is from a " Well "
is the best over all
certainly suits me very well .

Today is somewhat of a Special Day !
It's 11-11-'11 !


This made me get to work the last few days , coming up with a new Poem . Sitting here and having my daily Coffee , I decided to finish what I started .. as I did wanted to post it today .


So here it is , call it for what it is .. Lovely-Nice-Dumb .. I think my LaoPo will love it . That is what counts after all the most .

Time has feelings ?


Starting out in Life's path
time has no meaning really
it is something only to pass
no need to do any math.


As we grow older and wise
time takes on other looks
becomes part of our Life's
sometimes in a way not so nice.


Ones married to a beautiful Wife
we start counting it's minutes
hours seem to go by
making day's in our Life.


Time adds up to marriage bliss
I start to think .. I know
is there a feeling that comes along
to make ones togetherness glow.


So .. time does have feelings
I must admit and say
I can see it and feel it
as clear as any day.


Taking in those feeling's over time
makes me and my honey
come closer .. each and every time.


Well , received this via my Cell Phone :

Hi, my wise LaoGong. Love the Poem. Thanks for all the happy time I have been with you. I am counting the seconds right now. haha  *** I LOVE YOU ***

Ahhh .. it does make it all worth it !!! :)

Today is somewhat of a Special Day !
It's 11-11-'11 !

Ahhh .. it does make it all worth it !!! :)

November 11th the day to remember
Those killed on fields and distant shore
Souls cut down like fallen timber

Would we burn for rest of eternity
If in our indebtedness we are remiss
To pay their Bond with our maturity

Would we burn for rest of eternity
If in our indebtedness we are remiss

Thinking of those , who have fallen .. I myself not only do this on a/one Day out of the Year .
When I remember all those that have made our Country what it is today , I first think of the Pioneer's that traveled to the new Fronteer and all the Natives that gave their Life's .. in the word of Progress .
On the other Hand , to fight useless War's .. does take something away from the Fallen and shifts it towards the ones that are still alive and must be in a Place ( where they could lose their Life ) where they should not be in the first place . This re-directs our Energy toward un-favourable thoughts towards our Government , which is in much trouble already .

PS: Is there a Day , where we Honor the Poor Indians that we RAN over like Animals ?

Besides , Momorial Day is for the Fallen . Veteran's Day is for the ones still living and our Gov. , really takes GOOD care of them ..  ?

Journey's End?

Three years but still some more
Not yet, not yet
She lives still on distant shore
not yet not yet
My desire to embrace and kiss her
not yet not yet
One week and a little more
not yet not yet
Until I am totally assured
but still not yet
Until I board that Jet
that final approach
not yet not yet
I feel weak needing to wait
just one more week
not yet not yet
My heart engraved in stone
Never again, to be Alone
But still, not yet!

Qing was right.. she told me on the way to the Airport, me being gone.. you'll start to write new Poem! I guess she's right! :o

The "Lost" Bee!

A Bee's Life is full of Flowers
searching for Necktar witout a rest
buzzing through endless fields
putting the Bee onto the hardest of test

Coming to see the difference in it all
choosing only from the best
it finally finds the one to visit most
collecting .. collecting over and over
the Bee and it's favourite flower
has come to rest in a world called the west

As the Bee shares the endless love
one day it seems as all will end
as the fields are suddenly empty
buzzing and looking from above
the flower has disappeared from it's view
the Necktar was gone that was send

The Bee is lost without a doubt
so it must go on to stay alive
remembering this beautiful flower
til the one day it will all again arrive.

Funny!! I thought the same. With her gone I too thought you would scribe a humble poem about your bumble bee. But don't lament that there is no Honey in your Winnie the Pooh pot, because as Pollen comes to flowers, the wind will carry the scent and soon you will be a bliss with her sweet buzzing.  ;D

Instead live it up that Bachelor life, because being able to leave the toilet lid up without complaints is the right of every solitaire man  ::)

Live it up? Oh yes, I'll do that! I did tell her, not to worry about me.. my "Sister's" are coming over to check on me.
Actually, she did leave enough Honey for me to live on.. for ten days that is.
It's funny, why is it so easy to write a Poem when she gone (10min.) and nothing when she's here? ???

10 hours to go (not 10 minutes, that it took for this one) till our sixth Valentine together. SIX with a great Woman is.. 100 more times Fun  :P


Happiness .. Times six (6) !

As times flies by
with warmth in the Air
a special Person.. Oh so close
to see.. just open my Eye.

Before me standing so tall
might be of no surprise
the most wonderful Person
right in front of my Eyes.

As today is Valentine
a Lover thinks of his Spouse
thanking her.. Oh so much
one more year is ahead
being able to call you “Mine”!

Due to David's and John's dilemma lately, it made me want to write a Poem ones more. This is what became of it.

"Trouble is lurking near and far"!


Having seen all kinds of trouble

couples reading each-other less

before they join in a celebration

leaving much to ones imagination.



Building a marriage on such little time

only to find later in a short while

things are not rosy or primed

drifting apart fast and with no chime.



Here Qing and I often wonder

being together not that much longer

why then is our love blessed and free

just the way we want it to be.



Living absolutely with no trouble

daily life passes oh so loving

working together as a mature couple

moment for moment- day by day

enjoying marriage what else can I say.



So where's the lurking trouble

not that both of us really care

can't let it be part in our lives

seeing no reason really to dare

where others go in quite despair.

I wrote this back in the day when my life was in love turmoil.

"A woman’s scent fills one’s head… as does… the first smell of coffee in the morning, as you find yourself enticed by its warmth and desire. To touch her…gliding fingers along her god given form…is to make the connection from emotion to physical reality. To share her breath in a kiss…is to be intimate and vulnerable by its sweetness. And making love…is to reach into your lover’s soul using all pleasurable senses…to tell her that you love her. To lay with her in the aftermath…is when heart beats are in unison…and that love as been reassured."

More to the subject of David and John.

"Red roses, like wine...are velvet and smooth.

Asian women are like perfume...enticing and new.

But be wary, yellow fever...might just give you the blues!"

Chris, "Wish we had more Romance in today's Men".. I have over-heard a Woman say ones while in a Restaurant eating. Well, I certainly haven't lost it and I see here among us.. some of them still have "IT" too!

Thanks Arnold. I have been known to totally seduce women via e-mail! haha

For me...creativity comes when I have been in a dark lonely place.

I have written many love letters to Hong though. I wonder how translation has ruined them?
