He Writes

He writes, that’s what he does he writes
His words they shimmer with golden lights
Silver beams touch the paper from his pen
And the words form like dancers and then
He writes a phrase turns it around with a spin
Then turns it again to seek the words within
Without a pause his words flow on and on
And then he chases his muse until it’s gone

He writes, that’s what he does writes words
Lines spill from his pen flying free like birds
Soaring in the sky each released at last to fly
Free and high looping the loop exalation sky
His lines flowing over the page in sheer delight
Sparkling with hope and shining with light
Endlessly these lines move on they carry me
My heart and soul flow with them wildly free

He writes, that’s what he does writes light
It flows over the page with impish delight
Bringing joy and hopes of a better tomorrow
Banishing fear and sending back sorrow
It skips across the page illuming the soul
Releasing it from pain making it whole
He writes words of release that set me free
He writes and I could read him endlessly

Dear Marsha,
I love it. I felt like I was gliding along on your words, and swooping and soaring.

Ok, my slightly older but still fresh sister, which clever poet did you pen this gem for?  This one?  That one?  ALL of them?  Well of course you witty thing...for they are most clever, keeping us reading until the wee hours...

very clever indeed....

Marsha,
he may write with magic in his pen
but you write... and I'm in awe again
Marsha my love your writing is profound
and I know this to my library's bound
he writes you say and then you lift YOUR pen
to weave your magic round and round and then
you write and heaven's slice is found
for in YOUR write the gifts of praise abound.

I love it; it is magnificent. One of your best!
Keth.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Marsha - I write from the deep recesses of my heart, soft, tender, with romance. Loving all of it, as the words flow from my fingers, as they touch the keys. I wonder, ponder, if it would be me....

Nan darling girl thank you so very very much. I’m pleased you like it for I do too.
This could have been written as She Writes just as easily and I do know that as far as I’m concerned my favourite writers abound here are equally split between male and female.

It could indeed be written about YOU because YOU are a fabulous writer and a wonderful woman, you also happen to be a very loyal and loving friend I thank HIM for you

Kari darling sister of my heart thank you so very very much.
Of course you know this could have been written for anyone of my special family of friends here. Just because it’s called He Writes it could have just as easily be called She Writes.

Now I wonder which of my favourite writers it could be Hmmmm? Kari, Keth, Margie, Bill, Newell, Dave, Stevie, Juanita, Lyra, ‘Deer, the list could go on and on

And I’d still be saying the names next Thursday. To whom so ever this applies to YOU are all fabulous writers, and He / She Writes applies to you all

Keth darling sister of my heart and holder of my soul, Oh you darling heart, YOU lie and you do it beautifully in perfect rhyme too.

As for this little poem I’m fond of it as you know so you shine on sister of my soul and illume the dark

Heart Sister

Within my soul I had suffered and I’d cried
My heart was wretched I moaned and I sighed
My sister of heart came and she set me free
She unwound the chains and gave me liberty
Her words of wisdom echoed in my heart
She brought me truth made me stand apart
She gave me purpose she brought back hope
I know without her I couldn’t, wouldn’t cope

Inside my heart there’s a special sanctuary
It’s lined with love this is her gift to me
My sister of heart brought me back to life
I was so confused I was beset with strife
Magically she banished away all the fears
And somehow she stopped my selfish tears
She taught me to look to seek my destiny
I found it then found myself miraculously

There inside my spirit there is much more
It now knows how to fly it can easily soar
It was once bound in pain and locked out
My sister of heart freed me without a doubt
I don’t know how but she unlocked the cell
Then set me running far away from my hell
She showed me what love and faith can do
And she did it for me because she wanted to
