The warm and fuzzies

My pen used to be filled
With my tears
From heartbreak

I’d spread my tears
Over the pages
Spilling my soul

Since I met you
My heart doesn’t cry
So my pens run dry

Instead I feel
Warm and fuzzy
Sweet and lovey

There’s a tenderness
In my body
Aching for you

There’s a softness
In my voice
When I talk to you

I get nervous
And shy
Just at the thought of you

Forgive me
I’m not good at writing
Love poems

You see
I had no inspiration
Until I met you

Play it on your lips

Wear a smile on your face,  
Wear a smile all day,  
For nothing you wear looks lovely without it
Smile away the day,
and watch the effect  
you pass around
It might just cheer up the not  
so gay
and happiness may well  
abound.
And don't you look your best  
when you do smile
No wonder you're asked to say  
'cheese' for a photo
but the trick is to wear it all  
the while
'To smile without distinction'  
be thy motto.:)
When someone creases their  
forehead into a frown
You curve your lips upward  
into a smile
Don't let their scowl get you  
down
They'd be the one to look the  
clown
while you show off your  
inspiring style.
If people stare 'n' glare at you
Return their glares and stares  
with a grinning smile
Keep smiling whether they boo  
or pooh pooh
They might just reset their  
mental file.
Thus forever flash your  
pearlywhites
They aren't meant merely for  
chow and bites.
Flash em' into a smile that  
lights
A crescent shaped smiley on  
the face
explore your own facial  
expression delights.:)
A smile is a sign of happiness right under your nose
Smile warmly like the sunshine, like the crescent moon
Even when the icy cold wind of discourtesy blows

Celestialove

I soar above the canopy of trees  
Dance on the wind and I'm free  
This is how I was created to be
 
The sea of clouds below illuminated  
Brilliant white and golden streams
Cast down by the sun in search of his love  
 
He reaches out across the depths  
Separates and penetrates through them
To caress and linger over her body  
 
Beauty that does not fade or fail
Reveals perfection in her face  
As seen through the bridal veil  
 
Laying exposed before the universe
Cool blues, greens and brown blanket her
Safe from the twinkling eyes beyond the sky  
 
She turns away for they mean nothing  
Despite their admiration,  none can bring  
The heat and passion of her lover
 
None else ignite the spark of life  
That blooms and grows within her  
Life that springs from him to her
 
No master keeps her captive or enslaved  
Any attempt she destroys in rage
All while her love heals destruction  
 
The sun covets and holds her near
Each day his face shines upon her  
And Earth mother is filled by him
 
Generations in every kind alike  
Blood, seed, fin or flame  
His root to her womb, all these have came  
 
I only exist in this teardrop of truth  
Mother loves and Father provides  
In a moment I have lived and died  
 
Yet their love grows on forever  
And thus, reborn I'm new and free  
To dance, to fly, to be only me

Who paints the sky

Six year old girl facing the sunset.
Do you think God let's Bob Ross paint the sky?
My heart swells.
I know that this moment in time is one I must grasp tightly.
Remember the colors. Remember her face.
I sure hope He does baby.
She smiles, hugs herself.  Me too.

Season of Change

    
An Autumn's fullmoon enlightens my way, thru fields and forests, to the hills nature lays.    
As leaves, red and gold, flurry night's sky, a silence brings whispers to their songs of goodbye.    
   
For soon, Fall will bare the lives of pasts' fold. In slumber's golden sleep and to lullabies yet told.    
So come, Winter's chill with your deep-blanket snows. Enwrapping, to preserve, 'til the Springtime unfolds.

Magic in Music

There is magic in music,
    It can be quiet illusive,
When the captivating tune awakens the soul,
And when you hear a song,
    There is a power so strong,
That the composition makes the spirit whole.

It gives hope and purpose,
    To nurture and nurse us,
Feeding beats to the heart for salvation,
It serves like a light,
    To guide us just right,
It even helps us reach our destinations.

It makes us feel alive,
    To succeed and to thrive,
It even transports us to an enchanted place,
And there we find happiness,
    Freedom and liveliness,
When it takes us anywhere in time or space.

Music is a true reflection,
    Of the heart’s deepest affection,
Expressing desires regardless of circumstance,
Music can soothe us,
    Music can move us,
Music makes us smile and want to dance.

It is only
within
the darkness
of ignorance
when you shout
Do you shine

Smiling at the darkness
will only
bring it closer
you have to shout
to bring upon the light
that you hold
within

Thanks for your entries wally and drone.

Wally, I enjoyed reading your poem and completely agree with how important music is to us. It can certainly embark us on a grand adventure, or fill us with nostalgia for times that have passed. Well done!
Drone, I enjoyed the simplicity and message of your first entry, but your second entry doesn't meet the criteria of my competition.

Teddy Bears Know Haikus 7.0

 
(i) Sad

When you're really sad
Unlike people they're there for you
 Unquestioning love

(ii) Real

Some humans are ok
But you can't beat the real thing
Teddy Bears that's what

(iii) Stool Pigeon

Teddy is a snitch
He always reports the dog
For bad behaviour

(iv) Purity

They don't lie or cheat
You'll never be fucked over
Teddies are Sinless

(v) Hugs

Expert Teddy Bears
The best Huggers in the world
Warm, soft, free of charge

(vi) The Voices

Teddies tell me things
They tell me to do mad stuff
Not killing, hugging

(vii) Rose Tinted

Teddies remember
only happy memories
they remind me too
