Bring to your heart a child without home,
show your love - help end their sorrowed plight
Beauty disguised in rumpled tatters,
dressed in undoing - not of one's own
Handed to fate - lacking an escape,
sitting by the wayside knowing you're alone
C.E.Vance
Eye's Blink
Witnessed in an eye's blink,
moment's retreat into the past.
Forever parted to realm of time,
a stint - never to be recast.
Shade like night, days succumb,
darkened void consumes the dawn.
Tomorrow comes to certain end,
replaced by time that carries on.
Hours in follow never cede,
new beginnings hold no reign.
Each rise to fall once again,
all before - to trail and wane.
Comes life's passing - till ending still
to an abyss of pitch the ages flee
Their shadows become ancient dreams-
in an eye's blink - it's what we see.
C.E.Vance
Hollow the deep,
a bitter life so spun
Malice for dreams,
in heart of loathly drear
Drawn breath of life,
one's air of putrid stench
All within reach,
victims to direful touch
Conscious set side,
glowers besmirching eyes
Ominous look,
reflections of inner self
Portal to soul,
consumed by plaguing mire
Dark languid pools,
void emission of light
From grimaced smile,
lashes vile scorching tongue
The voice so stings,
spewing forth spittled fire
Thoughtless fool,
shallow ways come with due
Destined to fall,
stumbling across the heaped
Abandoned cries,
known faces turn away
Presence that's shunned,
suffers own loathly drear
C.E.Vance
Looming shadows in the amber glow,
candle waning with a haunting light
Mist arises in the corner and bodes,
stealthy watching throughout the night
Rising winds on dread evening howls,
spirits clamoring from pits of hell
Tortured souls denied by grace,
grimaced faces in their 'forever' dwell
Horrid demons gather outside the room,
from foulest lips each blaspheme calls
Ghastly figures out of nightmares seen,
leased from inside scorched prison walls
Among - and leading tethered brood,
reaper in shroud makes way through
Fire singed blade of molten steel,
ashes still clinging from furnace flue
Life's blood to ooze on the ground,,
comes final destine on the prow
Death comes swinging a merciless scythe,
cold eyes leering inside an ebon cowl
Hades' shades of gloomy visions ride,
swoop nether's creatures on bat like wings
Stately gates leading to Heaven close,
a forgotten soul is taken by evil things
Fiery anguish sears with putrid smell,
dripping flesh whipped by burning flames
Horrid screams witnessed by hollow eyes,
beastly man bound by linking chains
Scorching lake dispenses eternal just,
created punishment for sinner's due
Turning lock clicks on the coffin's lid,
without due penance hell awaits for you
C.E.Vance
Today I saw an angel's smile,
long hidden by a murky mist -
clouds before my unseeing eyes
Heaven sent her lacking wings,
no golden halo to grace her head -
trumpets silent at her advents
Softly the voice gentle and sweet,
words spoken so lovingly kind -
caring angel calms my troubled mind
Never a need to stand at heaven's gate,
to gaze upon this angelic face -
sight is viewed through new found eyes
Always her love - given to me,
seems I was blind and didn't see -
mother - how much you truly mean to me
C.E.Vance
In sequined sparkles, the sun caressing her flowing gown
Atop silken tresses, an adornment of a golden crown
Beside lone butterfly - she winks and flashes a lovely smile
Above the flowering petals they both hover for a while
On dainty wings, flying to and fro, she finds heart’s content
Across blossoming meadows she sprinkles ambrosial scent
Quick wave of hand lightly showers the aromatic fluff
Princess of the flowers soon whisks away in a windless puff
On winding journey, her ardent chore performed each year
Waiting flowers gracefully bow as she approaches near
In waning day she snuggles between a soft petals fold
For chilly nights, warm caring heart protects her from the cold
Early rising, she sips from droplets of fresh morning dew
With cool dabbing splash to face - errand day starts anew
Princess of the flowers ascends in the surrounding perfume
Aloft on wings zipping away to where more flowers bloom
Caring and nurturing is the essence of her content
Beautiful princess, a sweet flower’s blossoming scent
Loving heart freely given without an expectant due
Then within the garden my own princess comes into view
Her radiance shimmering - like sequins on a gown
Wave of long silken tresses creates an adorning crown
True princess of the flowers arrives in royal style
Beside me she cuddles and flashes her lovely smile
C.E.Vance
Morning arrived, absent of sun -
air deluged by darkened dawn
Folds the day with bleak like night,
cast in black - disquiet to mind
Descends the world - far to shadows,
a place once graced by gathered light
All aglow while yesterday was here,
tomorrow came bringing luster's end
With falter till fall - awash in tears,
every loss shed from anguished eyes
Listen closely, they'll bear love's name,
each carrying another dream away
Held so dear - last imagined hope,
together forever in just a while
Self's final truth resides within,
moments wished belong to past
Free to seek and love again,
shattered hearts - deserving mend
Place your tears inside a smile,
soon to find - a new sun in rise
*************************
Judged by a heart instead of mind,
once a rose - whose beauty failed
I loved you dearly - sweetness adored,
then all withered - turning to thorns
C.E.Vance
Just Like This
On a journey to Heaven -
visions reflected in your eyes,
passing through mists for mornings,
and rising to the brightest skies
Set adrift in the sunlight -
beyond terrestrial scapes,
embracing all that you are,
in a world - only love shapes
To the edge of infinity -
surrendering to the serene,
arrival on a smitten heart,
from where paradise is seen
Images in this window -
depicting my every thought,
within is held splendor,
the dreams I've always sought
Life roused in your presence -
entranced by beauty of soul,
a sweetness till eternal's last,
an existence that makes me whole
These pleasures for me alone -
like whispers before a kiss,
words to hold me in your arms,
I'll love you forever - just like this
