Distant Love
Disneylove
i will long for the end of this day,
whilst my love is far away;
yet i'll know she'll come to me,
as the sun sets into the sea.
she rose before me this morn,
as i danced amidst my dreams;
the nightshade veils were drawn,
as she shone the sun's first beams.
her radiance pierced my eyelids,
and warded the darkness away;
gently she summoned the sunshine,
its warmth, its brilliance, its play.
with all of the power of Horus,
she willed the world to turn;
with lyric, song and chorus,
she willed my heart to yearn.
no siren, sprite or princess,
born from walt disney's pen,
could have bade me press
from hades to rise and shine again.

Horse nonsense
Horse Sense
Nay, said the stallion to the mare,
Way, said she in hoarse despair;
Nye, said he that mounts the fair,
Whhiiiii, said she that mates the pair.
Haaayyy, said he that wants to graze,
Waaayyy, said she that lights his days;
Haaawww, said he that gets the craze,
Wwhoowww, said she that wins his praise.
She holds her ground and daren't bolt,
Her steed rears up with mighty jolt;
He rides his queen with no revolt,
Their love is sealed by spring's fine colt.

Thanks for your visit and appreciation of my words. I love comments which bring me back to revisit my own poetry. I forget my own poems sometimes. Cheers.
....so very very lovely my friend to experience this cascading joy of pure poetic abundance ......it is always a sheer delight to be your reader - and indeed a honor to be your friend .......
Thanks for reading Epi. I thought I might get a laugh to rise out of you with the second poem, but alas, humour comes more naturally to you than it does to me. Cheers.
Your face matches your beautiful words...strong, and kind. The photos are beautiful and would make great oil painting material. The photo of the horses made me smile. Great way to start another day. Thank you
Hello Amy and thank you for stopping by. Your comment persuades me that you are an artist at heart, if not by training or trade. Your focus upon my face, the photos and the horses tell me that without noting your reference to oil paint. I have visited many Hubs where the creativity shines through both verbal and visual imagery.
Beautiful and stunning pictures too.
Simply lovely and fantastic photos too.
Hello acaetnna- thank you for your visit and appreciative words. Sorry that I missed you comment several weeks back. The photos are simple shots with a digital camera taken by me. Thanks again.
LovingU is such a lovely screen name. Welcome to my humble Hubpage with verbal and visual imagery. I am glad that you enjoyed your visit and my words and pics. Cheers.
Fun stuff. The horse bit was very creative and fast-paced. Seems like something children should be singing in unison as they play. Very pleased with your poetry and your outlook; a fun site to visit. Thanks again. Cheers.
Thanks Doug for your comment and good humour. It is a very childish verse though I never thought about it. A bit of whimsy in play.
@ 1st poem - a perfect little piece. Very descriptive and enticing.
with all of the power of Horus,
she willed the world to turn;
with lyric, song and chorus,
she willed my heart to yearn
I really liked the way it rolls off the tongue. Good work
Thanks Benwritings for your visit and comment. I'm delighted that you found your way here and enjoyed my words.
Beautiful song with Lovely Climate.
I love these cloudy rainy climate. What A Wonderful Climate.
Thanks grandnag; for your visit and comment. I'm delighted that you enjoyed the song and the Irish climate.
Greek myth is my fave . Hades drew the short stick. Your poetry is right up my ally .Great job
Ray
What I like about the word Hades is that it does not contain judgement of evil or wrong. The dead reside together -good and bad- like here. I find your writing to be right up my alley as well which is why I am following you. Thanks for reading and commenting.
