This Place Called Passions

Ask me what I’ve gleaned from
This place called passions
I say the spirits every realm
Thoughts every hiding place
Loves every ride
Souls every color or colorless self
Magic, myth and memories

Felt the sea’s hypnotic pull
Shores rhythmic trances
Spirits riding waves-
Forever bond to wander
Of ships that never return
Mermaids intoxicating beauty
Spell bound sailor-
Enticed to the balmy deep

Lost loved-one to-
Stupidity of a drunk
Little boy lost
Life time companion found
True love or never loved
Hatred in full, sorrow at-
It’s deepest point
Soul in want but fear holds it at bay

Experience deaths door-
Open and shut
Stabbing of Satan, kiss of God
To fight a dragon-
Claim victory over its lair
Sit in magical garden-
Listen to fairys tell their tales
To spin and dance with lily’s
Sway as meadow grass

Know whose footsteps are in the sand
Who carries me across
This forsaken land
Fall in love with dreams not mine
Understand life’s mysteries-
Accept them good or bad
Not be afraid of what is yet seen

This is some of what I’ve gleaned
But the most important thing is
The friendships I have gained
Through your eyes I have been to the
Ends of the earth and back again
Depths of the soul and to heavens above
It’s the poets that take me there
And to all of the places in between
My life has been enriched
I thank you from the
Bottom of my heart.


By, Cerenity

hi Cerenity, I want to send ya a big smile for your 2,000th post sweetie...

You've written a splendid poem that does indeed reflect upon the connection between poet and reader that sometimes occurs when their words inspire us in strength, touch our hearts from love or ache, bring us to tears from joy or grief, and brighten our smiles at the end of our day leaving us with a memorable read...

Congratulations! What a beautiful piece
to offer us for your 2000th post.
I did see your crituque message. I'm offering a few hints to help ok? You can see, there was little needed.!!! Best to you!


Ask me what I’ve GLEANED from
This place called passions
I say the spirits every realm
Thoughts every hiding place
Loves every ride
Souls every color or colorless self
Magic, myth and memories

Felt the sea’s hypnotic pull
Shores rhythmic trances
Spirits riding waves-
Forever bond to wander ( love this line, I was thinking of "born to wander" just a suggestion.


Of ships that never return
Mermaids intoxicating beauty
Spell bound sailor-
Enticed to the balmy deep

Lost loved-one to-
Stupidity of a drunk
Little boy lost
Life time companion found
True love or never loved
Hatred in full, sorrow at-
It’s deepest point
Soul in want but fear holds it at bay

Experience deaths door-
Open and shut
Stabbing of Satan, kiss of God
To fight a dragon-
Claim victory over its lair
Sit in magical garden-
Listen to FAIRYS tell their tales
To spin and dance with lily’s
Sway as meadow grass

Know whose footsteps are in the sand
Who carries me across- (NO NEED FOR THIS DASH)
This forsaken land
Fall in love with dreams not mine
Understand life’s mysteries-
Accept them good or bad
Not be afraid of what is yet seen

This is some of what I’ve GLEANED
But the most important thing is IF THING IS SINGULAR THEN FRIENDSHIP NEEDS TO BE SINGULAR OR VICE VERSA--
The friendships I have gained
Through your eyes I have been to the
Ends of the earth and back again
Depths of the soul and to heavens above
It’s the poets that take me there
And to all of the places in between
My life has been enriched
I thank you from the
Bottom of my heart.

Thank you all so very much for being there for me and listening to me through my written words,

beautiful poem Cerenity, so nicely written, You've captured the passions so well here, how all the poets write of so many topics but what it all comes down to is how the heart is so profound and open to so many idea's. Love, hate, magic, spells, turmoil, wars the list goes on and on and you've did an awesome job. Congrats!!
