Verses for the Heart by Jack Ivey (best e reader for academics txt) 📕

sure to be her man

It matters not the weather when
For I will stand right here
So she can see this love I send
And it will be so clear

So if you see me standing tall
My clothing it is dry
Just let your raindrops start to fall
Open up that sky

Let your water charge at me
From so high up above
For then I know that she will see
She is the one I love

 

Till Leaves they Fall the Sycamore

Where sunlight meets the coming day
In throws of grand design
Below a canopy of dreams
To flow about the mind

As glory comes before our eyes
In simple majesty
To bring the sense of love we feel
Of what shall always be

For on the eve of perfect scenes
Till waking comes as part
Along the winding pathway lays
The beating of a heart

Beneath a wondrous sycamore
With leaves so full and green
A resting spot we choose to sit
Amongst this life we seed

Gracefully a wind does run
Now scented with the fall
Through twisted branch so softly sings
Upon our souls to call


Though when my voice does find the verse
To you these words I say
In all that love does offer me
You take my heart away

Wrapping it in tender glove
So warm the touch does feel
In quaking shoes I walk along
Rejoicing this is real

Till leaves they fall the sycamore
We sit within its view
Neath branches formed I offer this
My darling I love you

 

O’ Distant Flower

O’ distant flower, perfect bloom
Thy beauty full is shown
I stand beneath yon crescent moon
Yet, I am not alone

O’er moments saved my heart so deep
I breathe this evening air
To whisper thoughts of endless keep
With dreams that thee shall share

So bright the beams that meet my face
Of shadows long behind
If but your lips my love doth trace
In longings sent to find

I drink of sweet desire's wine
My cup doth overflow
To reach my arms as you are mine
In soft reflections show

O’ come to me my petals pure
My skin your touch doth need
Of only you I do adore
My life your love doth feed


O’ silent evening dances round
This valley high above
For on this night my heart hath found
Your precious perfect love

Of all the Beauty

Here on a lake formed of nature’s creation
Tucked away deep in the hills
Nary a foot print along the soft shoreline
Visions to capture the thrills

Silent reflections of all that’s surrounding
Still are the waters this morn
Sunlight invades through the meeting of mountains
As the new day now is born

Taking a seat at the edge of the waters
Skipping a flat rock to see
Ripples of wonder in circular motion
Waving good morning to me

O’ as I breathe in the air so delicious
Scented of pine trees so tall
Reaching the heavens in frame of this body
Praying my love she will call

Nothing shall find me alone of this moment
Lost on the pathways I chart
For in the distance I know that she loves me
I feel her love in my heart


Someday the dawn it shall find us together
Here in this setting so pure
Of all the beauty I find here before me
She is the one I adore

 

Beyond the Gates

Until the day my death does come, I breathe my final breathless sigh
My love for you it shall endure, for all and any reasons why
For on this earth I live my life with words of always constant true
To bring such joy into your heart, my love it shares with only you

Till moons above do cease their light and stars aloft no longer shine
I stand with you my perfect love until the end of borrowed time
When oceans dry and arid scenes along the shores a sign shall be
The emptiness that others feel shall never come and enter me

As darkness falls and in my eyes I see thy glowing perfect light
I shall not fear most anything as your sweet love shall hold me tight
No pain, I swear shall touch your limbs, my heart shall beat a guarded prayer
Protecting you from lost accord and dreams that you are always there

A journey long of timeless day as every morning sun does rise
The beauty that my soul does need is found so deep within your eyes
As nothing else does matter in the moments that we two do live
My love shall reign eternal counting every ounce to you I give

For when the moments shadow with their quaking hands of empty reach
I’ll climb upon my pulpit and unto their ears my words shall preach
My open eyes shall witness darkened masses and a heavens play
While in this final breath I breathe I swear to you, to them I say


So bring upon your demons and your angels as they wage their war
To take my soul to places as the time has come to pay my score
For I shall stand determined that what ever fate for me doth find
My love for her shall breathe again beyond the gates of which I die

Hopeless, a word with no meaning

Found on the edge of desire
Facing the answers unknown
Desperate to stand in the fire
No longer living alone

Crying for deed left a’ waiting
Rolling these thoughts in my mind
Oh of this love now creating
Searching for all I can find

Hopeless, a word with no meaning
Not that my heart will allow
Some they may say I am dreaming
None that can prove to me how

Real is the state of this vision
Nothing but truth stands so tall
Into her charms now my mission
Making such sense of it all

Reaching so I am not missing
Now as my knees touch the ground
Lips that I wish I was kissing
Perfect this woman I’ve found


Distance, the longest of dances
I follow the moon high above
Capturing all of my chances
So I may feel her sweet love

Twilight

As the evening twilight beckons
With mysteries of shadowed dreams
Silhouettes on painted skylines
Dark and ominous their scenes

O’er the wind chilled wintry visions
Cast upon unspoken paths
Lost within our distant memories
A longer cold day’s aftermath

Faintly rests the setting sun
Ne’er to lend its dimming light
Strolling down the wooded realm
Fondly this December night

Woven branch filled fascination
Dancing with the silent breeze
High above this winter playground
Whispering throughout the trees

A hint of pine this chilly night
Subtle in its simple stance
Fragrant comes the evening lyrics
Nature’s song of true romance


Dusk is but our magic haven
Quiet so, it gently flows
Soft and surely undetected
A canopy of love that grows

Twilight as it shows your eyes
Hauntingly their beauty peers
Bringing life so full within me
After longing many years

You are my soul this twilight journey
Mystic skies they form above
Right before the night has risen
I find you, my perfect love

Time Stood Still

A vision
