Three Kings

This song has been swimming around in my head all day so I thought I would share it.....The very first performance I had when I got chosen as one of the wise men in the school play in primary Five....Thankyou 'Iris Soutar' a very special teacher.

We three kings of orient are
Sharing gifts we travel afar
Field and fountain
Moor and mountain
Following yonder star!

OH star of wonder
Star of light
Star of royal beauty...BRIGHT
Westward leading
Still proceeding
Guide us to that perfect LIGHT!

Poem My place by Lorna Cameron

MY PLACE

Lily, rose and jasmine

The gentle grace of the rose
Feminine, sweetly aromatic
Blushing delicately
Blooming in abundance.

For the lily
Elegantly,
makes her proud presence known
Bursting and blooming
With immense power
from the earth
Like a dignified queen of her own homeland
Intoxicating and alluring
As her musky scent excites the senses.

Jasmine, mystifyingly sweet
On a first encounter
But undeniably, distinctly Erotic in nature,
with Delicate undertones
Of oriental spice
Inhale……

Poem Friends by Lorna Cameron

Friends

The gentle grace of the rose
Feminine
Fragile
sweetly aromatic
Blushing delicately
Blooming in abundance
Inhale...

For the lily
Elegantly
makes her proud presence known
Bursting and blooming
With immense power
from moist earth
A dignified queen of her own homeland
Intoxicating and alluring
As her musky scent excites the senses
Inhale....

Jasmine
mystifyingly sweet
On a first encounter
But undeniably
distinctly erotic in nature
with delicate undertones
Of oriental spice
Inhale……

Winning poem... Knowing Love

Recently at the writing group I run we had a competition.....

"The great mystery of love is a popular subject and most poets have written something about the trials, tribulations, highs, lows and beauty of love.... therefore there is a prize for the most original poem this month"...... I asked another writer who was not part of the group to judge the poems and the rest of the group were eager that I enter too... I did not enter the competition as I knew I couldn't write a love poem...

Here is one of the most beautiful poems I have ever had the privilege to read ..... the winning poem.... from a very brave angel I know....called Pixi.

"Some Day after we have mastered the winds, the waves, the tides, and Gravity....We shall harness the energies of love. Then, for the second time in the history of the world man will have discovered fire" by Teilhard De Chardin.

Knowing Love

Give me a burn to
Wade through...to you
A burn to
Dive into...with you
Give me a burning love
Is it scary?
Naked for the heart and mind?
.....then it is love
Burning love, for you.

Give me a sky to
Look up to...for you
A sky to
Fly into....with you
Give me sky
Is it raging?
Heavenly of body
and soul?
.....Then, it is love
Heavenly love, for you.

Give me earth
To walk on...beside you
Earth to
Grow from...under you
Give me
Growing earth
Is it moist?
Nurturing for
bones and flesh?
Then it is love
Real love, knowing you.

Every time I read this poem I cry, need I say more.....

Poem Fulfilment by Lorna cameron

Fulfilment

To rise at dawn and sing with the lark

To explore and roam whilst leaving your mark

To bathe in the sea and relax in the sun

To swing from the trees whilst beaming with fun

To work and to play while you smile with your day

To get smothered in clay and live how you say!

To feel comfort in his arms

See Love in his eyes

To know he’s disarmed not hiding in disguise

To see the sun every day and not see any more horror

Would be a luxury… I would say

Not something I would borrow

To see his eyes burn with desire

And be free enough to surrender

The furnace that holds the heart of the fire...

…not a cinder will be ember!

by Lorna Cameron

PoemThe culprit by Lorna Cameron

The culprit

On the Titanic

When it was sinking

He got into a panic

Crushing women and children

To protect himself

As he put it!

To get to the lifeboat

Cowardice the culprit

They all got saved

As she tried to forgive

That horrible culprit

And his right to live!

by Lorna Cameron

Poem Last goodbye

Last Goodbye

You see my worst nightmare

Has now occurred.

What was I thinking?

It sounds so absurd!

Protecting them all

from the monster within him!

Standing so tall

Watching it lynch him!

He doubts my indifference

So much it breaks him.

“Get your own life!”

Parting words as I leave him.

He knows he’s defeated

And has somewhat calmed down.

He now has retreated.

I still have my crown.

Now with a new one

She seems very nice

He’ll now see his own sun.

I sip champagne on ice!
