Love Is Ever. . .
Poet: John McLeod, ©1988 Love is ever where the heart will find it No matter how unlikely seems the place, Love will wrap each moment warm around it And wear a gentle smile upon its face, Love, itself, is without limitations For it alone will find its place of rest, Thus, finding Love, reject all imitations And smiling know how well your days are blessed. Respond To Love Poet: John McLeod, ©1982 Respond to love wherever you find it No matter its shape or its form In the still of the night In the heat of the day In the midst of the dark and the storm For believe me my friends In His dear love alone This world's truth and wisdom are found In the way that we live The more love we give The more love there is to go round! An Old Man Recollects Poet: John McLeod, © 1975 I think of all the girls I ever knew Not one was quite as beautiful as you Nor arms that held more intimate embrace Nor eyes nor lips, nor softly smiling face, Were in this age of more perfection made, A timeless loveliness that would not ever fade. And yet, thought I, though time removed all care Still there could never be one quite as fair As you, were I such priceless gems to find, No glittering jewel could cause a love so blind As struck my sight, a gray-grown world before, And led my eyes to love's enchanted door. Stay in my memory's eye, for time has flown, Along with all the lovely maids I've known, And casting pebbles in a deep pool brings Such recollections, as with spreading rings, I caused the source, and watched the ripples play Their lifetime out upon a lake, and fade away. Thus, fading, are the pictures in the mind As when, with age, less clearly are defined, The days of youthful zest lost in the years, The breasts I kissed, the lips, the happy tears, Such hours we spent of magic, pleasure-kissed, I vaguely see through veils of silent mist. Too soon does Life's experience pass by, The twinkling of a bright eternal eye. That glimpses for a moment love's strange scene, Dreamlike, almost though it had not been. And now, alone and just a little tired, A full life past, and lived as I desired, I think of all the girls I ever knew, Not one was quite as beautiful as You! Frames From Grebo . . . Poet: John McLeod, ©1984 Love, where have you gone Slipping through the gentle morning air Light on your golden, shimmering hair Burnished at dawn, Swaying and falling, cascading To frame a perfect face, Beauty that needs no masquerading Time flown, and place . . . But memory's treasure Holds dear the image sweet A few most precious flowers. Love makes complete! Nothing Like . . . Poet: John McLeod, © 1984 There's nothing like a good old hug To make your feathers glisten A friend to share the moments with To talk with and to listen So be assured, this Friend Who loves your presence and society Restrains his hugs (in this localle) Preserving, thus propriety. Yet, all this said, you know he cares And always will, no matter, With dulcet tones, this poet and clown, Is just mad as a hatter!! The First Snow Poet: John McLeod, © 1970 The first snow fell today And Spring like a half remembered love affair Seems very distant, almost as if It never really happened. The first tear fell that day, (After the sandwiches and tea, China I think), dropping into the amber With a scarcely discerned plop! Decidedly I should have known That the first tear would lead to the first snow As surely as Spring mutates into Winter. That I should not have understood Was forgivable I suppose, But there are some things That words cannot convey . . . I could not tell her, woman though she was, That love, like snow, will often melt away! Where Love Resides . . . Poet: John McLeod, © 1981 Where Love resides You'll find the sunlight clear Golden and warm To guild each passing year Where Love resides You'll find a rainbow too Soft colours that enhance And Hope renew Where Love resides There is no 'Time' as such Gentle and true Its own eternal touch Love has such sunlight Where no falsehood hides Eternal colours true Where Love resides! |
