Poem – Move in Closer

  By John E Murray III | April 29, 2008 - 3:33 AM | Poetic Inspiration, Poetry Contributors
Leave a comment

Move in closer, don’t shy away, For there is so much more we should say. I shout your name into the stillness of night, Yet hear merely echoes of a lone plight. Move in closer, don’t be afraid, For this comforting warmth, we both have made. I extend my arms [...]

Poem – Too Close

  By John E Murray III | April 28, 2008 - 4:37 PM | Poetic Inspiration, Poetry Contributors
Leave a comment

Too close to reality do we sit, When we dream of angels with an uncanny wit. They are visions truly, But when neglected, become most unruly. Even nearer do we move When they offer us emotions from which to choose. This may not be what we need, Nevertheless, for them, [...]

Poem – Wait For It…

Sometimes, it is better to listen and… Wait for it… Listen closely for the silence… There is none. Wait for it… Listen closely to the silence… It is too loud. Wait for it… Listen closely to the silence… The who? The what? Wait for it. By: John E. Murray, III

Fair Maiden, Whose eyes sparkle greater than The brightest star on high, And whose entire being Proves that true beauty Can not lie, I await the day, When I may Feel the complete comfort And warmth of one So astonishing as thee, Before my youth and patience Does pass me [...]

Poem – Let Me Not Begin Anew

  By John E Murray III | April 25, 2008 - 7:52 AM | Poetic Inspiration, Poetry Contributors
Leave a comment

Sometimes, we rely on the verses just as much as they rely on us the versers…Enjoy… Let me not begin anew, Let me spend my days with you,or you,or you. My friends, my companions, my creation, Losing you would be a great devastation. You are my entire being, The results [...]

Poem – Time Moves Faster

Time moves faster As the day draws nearer And, we are carried along Bouncing rapidly To these days of brevity. Wrinkles are drawn In the appropriate corners Which bring us closer Enriching entirely Those exciting moments of revelry. Links are enforced Through our entire being That allow us to grow [...]

Poem – Wondrous Happiness

Love is a great journey, especially when you make it with your soulmate with whom your share a wondrous happiness… My heart alone can not sustain this wondrous happiness, But, together alone, the inner greatness may grow, And emotions sealed long ago, will continue to show. Stay with me as [...]

Poem – Appreciating Your Muse

  By John E Murray III | April 6, 2008 - 1:42 AM | Poetic Inspiration, Poetry Contributors
Leave a comment

Sometimes, we forget where our love started…other times, we choose to forget. Always remember where your passions lie. Always remeber that someone is out there to share your passion. It may be a friend, a relative, or your soulmate. When you find them, share your inspiration with them… Long have [...]

Poem – All Too Real

To Teri, my everlasting inspiration My soul is refreshed by your mere presence, As goodness and purity escape from your essence. Inward I am drawn with no other thought Than that of the wonder and awe you have brought. A heart that has remained dormant for so long, Now is [...]

Poem – A Day

Leave a comment

A day, a day you say, Is not long to be away. Sure, alright, OK. Only to our minds does this apply. For it becomes a challenge for you and I, But our hearts, our hearts, may ask why. To quell our love is not a simple task, And, many, [...]

The awe and wonder we share Astounds me always. We grow, we bloom, we blossom… Together. Our bond strengthens With every step And intensifies incredibly With each new inkling Of love. An end is not in sight, Rather an eternal eruption Of our own eternity Is inevitable and everlasting. By: [...]

Poem – Glimpse of Eden

  By John E Murray III | April 2, 2008 - 8:59 PM | Poetic Inspiration, Poetry Contributors
Leave a comment

Beauty so serene Can not be sculpted; Innocence so sanctified Can not be sustained; Intensity so sharp Can not be surmounted, Except by The vision, The purity, The light, Who somehow engulfs My entire realm of sight. I am without And, she is within. For now, I sit satiated… Hoping, [...]
