Rue Palmer Poems

I knelt to pray but not for long, I had too much to do.

I had to hurry and get to work, for bills would soon be due.
...

With disdain i gave out a sigh
and with hope i look in the sky
it was a surprise to see, something
really spectacular in me.
...

Hope does not always arrive
with a trumpet or a song
Sometimes it comes softly
like sunlight through a window
...

Whispers soft through branches sway, A symphony at end of day.Green leaves dance, a gentle choir, As evening winds their song inspire.Beneath the sky, the treetops bend, In rhythm with the twilight's blend.Their rustling secrets, old and wise, Murmured under moonlit skies.Roots deep in earth, unshaken, strong, Trunks that hum a timeless song.In the wind, their stories twine, Nature's prose, both yours and mine.Shadows flicker, branches weave, A tapestry by night's reprieve.Trees in wind, a tranquil sight, Guardians of the silent night.
Whispers soft through branches sway,
A symphony at end of day.
Green leaves dance, a gentle choir,
...

In twilight's hush, the porch is still, A sanctuary on a hill, Where evening whispers gently fill The heart with peace and quiet thrill.The rocking stool begins to creak, A symphony that's soft and sleek, As shadows play their hide-and-seek, And night prepares to softly speak.The stars emerge in velvet skies, With twinkling lights and fireflies, A dance of dreams before the eyes, A cosmic tale in silent guise.The scent of jasmine in the air, A fragrant breath, beyond compare, The night's cool breeze, a tender care, As moonbeams weave through silver hair.The world is far, yet close in thought, With memories and dreams in wrought, A moment where all time is caught, On back porch where sweet peace is sought.
In twilight's hush, the veranda is still,
A sanctuary on a hill,
Where evening whispers gently fill

Golden sun in summer's hand, Ripened jewels upon the land.A burst of dawn, a drop of sweet, In tropical air, the flavors meet.Peel away the sunset skin, To find the treasure held within.A nectar kiss on eager lips, From mango's heart, the essence sips.Orchards whisper, leaves sway light, Beneath the stars, in velvet night.Each fruit a story, each bite a song, In mango's world, we all belong.Soft as silk, with taste so grand, Mangoes weave their magic band.Golden sun in summer's hand, Ripened jewels upon the land.
Golden sun in summer's hand,
Ripened jewels upon the land.
A burst of dawn, a drop of sweet,

Beauty Alive

In morning's light, the world awakes, A canvas fresh, where beauty stakesIts claim upon the waking eye, In colors bold and whispers shy.The rose that blooms in silent grace, Unfolds its petals, finds its placeWithin the heart of those who seeThe gentle art of symmetry.A mountain's peak, a river's bend, In nature's realm, where wonders blend, Each curve and line, a story told, In hues of green and skies of gold.The laugh that dances on the breeze, The kindness bringing hearts to ease, A moment's glance, a tender touch, In simple things, we find so much.For beauty's not a single face, But woven threads in time and space, It lives in love, in joy, in tears, In every soul, through all the years.
In morning's light, the world awakes,

In shadows deep, where whispers dwell, A silent tear begins to swell.It journeys down, a liquid trace, Reflecting all our hidden grace.In tearful eyes, the fears reside, A trembling heart we cannot hide.Each drop a story, each drop a pain, A testament to love's refrain.Yet fear and tears, they intertwine, In fragile hearts, they both entwine.For in each tear, a strength is found, A quiet roar, a silent sound.So let the tears flow free and clear, Embrace the love within your fear.For through the sorrow, light appears, And hope is born from fallen tears.
In shadows deep, where whispers dwell,
A silent tear begins to swell.
It journeys down, a liquid trace,

In the heart of Africa's verdant lands, Where rivers weave through golden sands, A shadow fell, a dreadful tide, Darkening hopes far and wide.In villages where laughter rang, And children played and voices sang, The peace was shattered, lives unspun, As chains were forged in the burning sun.Beneath the baobab's ancient shade, Tales of freedom slowly fade, Families torn, spirits bruised, Innocence stolen, dreams refused.The march began through jungle deep, With cries that haunt, the night did weep, On paths of sorrow, pain unspoken, Hearts and bonds forever broken.Across the seas in wooden graves, To distant shores and masters' caves, A stolen people, strength untold, In anguish fought, in silence sold.But from the ashes of despair, Rose voices strong, hearts aware, With courage vast as desert skies, They sought their freedom, claimed their prize.Africa's soul, resilient, fierce, Through darkest night, its hope pierce, A history scarred, a future bright, In unity, they reclaim their light.
In the heart of Africa's verdant lands,
Where rivers weave through golden sands,
A shadow fell, a dreadful tide,

Not A Song

Verse 1: She's got a strange love, it's like nothing I've ever known It's a feeling so deep, it's like I'm in my own zone She's got a way of making me feel so alive With her strange love, I feel like I could thriveChorus: Strange love, it's got me feeling so high With every touch, I can't help but sigh It's a love that's different, but oh so right With her strange love, I could dance all night Verse 2: Her love is like a fire, burning bright inside It's a flame that can't be tamed, no matter how hard I try She's got a way of seeing right through me With her strange love, I feel so freeChorus: Strange love, it's got me feeling so high With every touch, I can't help but sight's a love that's different, but oh so right With her strange love, I could dance all nightBridge: They say love is supposed to be easy But with her, it's like a wild ride, so breezy never know what to expect, but I don't care With her strange love, I'm willing to dareChorus: Strange love, it's got me feeling so high With every touch, I can't help but sight's a love that's different, but oh so right With her strange love, I could dance all nightOutro: So when people ask me about our love I just smile and say it's like a gift from above It may be strange to some, but to me it's true Her strange love, it's all I need to get through.
