Two poems written by Catherine Anderson

July 27, 2007

                                   Tender Heart

What is bequeathed a tender heart?

To feel unbridled joy and sing with anticipation of tomorrow.

Creature comforts enjoyed to the fullest,with no taint of more. 

To revel in the moment and eek out every happiness possible.

The good things that will occur far outweigh the bad that might happen.

             Each breath a celebration 

             Each tear is pure.

             The perfection of being

             To embrace each emotion

             whole and fierce.

To live in eternal amazement and face everything as if it were new.

A cuddle up to the sameness as an old friend.

                     Peace in solitude

                     Pleasure in company.

                                          A grand existence.

                                         

                                               

                                                 Tell Me

Tell me;

                of your new love

                of its allure

                of its sweetness

                of the joy and blind exhileration

                of the joy of exploration

                of the floating feeling

that furnishes that smile

Tell me of your happiness so that I may look upon my dear old love with new eyes.

Some poetry…

July 24, 2007

How do you follow your heart?

This is the hard part

since there is no map or chart.

How do you recognize lies?

How do you know what is wise?

Can you spot sin in disguise?

Do you know who is sincere?

Is your judgement clear?

Or is it muddled by fear?

Substitute love for tears.

Separate desire from deeds.

Jesus planted the seeds.

This is an example of some of my old poetry.I don`t want to deter anyone from reading my stuff or posting their own poems as comments.This is an open forum.If you want to talk about anything,leave a poem for anyone to read, or perhaps even tell a joke or two that is what this blog is for.You can discuss any topic but please refrain from profane language and don`t be too cynical.This place is about expressing yourself…Okay.
