A Passionate Moon Soul extents holding moon beamsHis eyes twinkle with more than longingReaching to touch heavens brightnessStarry night brings loving luminosity Darkness opens wide her broad armsEmbracing moons gift of eternal lightsStars awe with midnight exhibitionPounding deep within their nature Daylight never had more splendorsAs the heaven so tenderly kissesOh what a glorious tomes taleYet will it ever be written This mind may not be EinsteinThough it is pressed for brandingWith a hot iron it melts my skinAnd there it will be eternally © cat hodgson5/22/14 Cathy Hodgson

Absolute Poem Absolute Poem How do you have a poem?When life just trudges onIt is not a bad thing, an ordinaryYet let me ink a lyrical song Where a whisper is cherishedSomething held like a jewelHidden in her silent mindTo be taken out in lowness With fragile gloved palmsHeld close to breaths memoriesWhere scented journeys travelWith mysterious absolute path Oh flower that thou is, I listenAnd the tune sings withinSpouting stringing harpMysterious melodies confined ©cat hodgson Cathy Hodgson

As Time Turns As Time Turns If we never meet again on earthI will remember your soft voiceI will remember the touch of handThe whisper not spoken yet heard I dream in a different realmOf time and space, unimportantIt seems very distant and in betweenIf someday again our paths cross Let me look up with a smileAnd Hold the dream fastFor another life time to bloomYet, in another world to know © cat Cathy Hodgson

Curtain Call Curtain Call Last night drew upon melodies sunriseAs her curtain opened dreams symphonyA warm day closed beyond sun beamsWhile half of the audience slept silent In between somewhere was lostThrough night and daylight whispersLove settled unrestful in dreamsNot seen nor heard yet manipulated There was a bit breezy conversationWithin the realm of no where's songIn a land where stars can danceAnd unicorns play in meadows light The song was peculiar and eccentricYet wrestled her toned contemplationBringing a half bit playful smirkWhen curtains fell down to applause © cat Cathy Hodgson

Delusion Deprived of heart once was saidI would miss you even if we hadn't metYet are we but a delusion of dreamsLike mist that gathers in warm clouds Learning to yearn yet not to fretLove is all nothing to grip yet holdsTouch I feel deep within my soulI sense you here yet you're not A smile builds then a tearOf times I held your hand my dearSenseless beyond holds my tongueWho will whisper sweetness? Oh fuddle, it is only youUnder a greatness never seenRecognized in rhythm and rhymeUnappeased I sigh and must go on But for a wish upon a starTo hold that whisper in meAnd dream once more just a bitTo salve the aches that grows Confabulate about entwined figsUntil a cake is made and tastedNor do I celebrate, yet I doFor my heart lived, when, not with you ©cat hodgson Cathy Hodgson

Diminishing Attitude Diminishing Attitude Like the river flows, whispers persist.Deep throughout long and tall.High as the mountain, in darkest night.Embedded with life its own heart. Touched with a love story.Depth holds my hand even void.I sense the longing and feel moon.As it calls in the night to drink wine. Please don't talk of dwindling.Or never say someday departing.Where will a sun enchant a moon?Because their whispers from far, is being…© cat hodgson Cathy Hodgson

Do You Hear The Wind? Do you hear the whispering wind?As it calls the name of loveMellowing the field in songWhispering for me to remember Oh sky of gray,As I reminisce your clouds danceRain drops a slashes about my cheekIt flows salty to my lips Somewhere in the back of my mindWaves hit the shore, mighty and rushingA seagull swoops through the mist callingFingers entwine with mine My eyes close as dreams take me underYouth smiles as sun lights her faceRunning free on the shoreAs she is chased with enchantment Emotion wraps her in securities armsCocooned from all worlds destructionsParadise opens the door to allureI do hear the wind whispering © Cathy Hodgson poetry Cathy Hodgson

Enchanting Autumn Let me drink wine from your sunny rayOh hold me in warmth by harvest moonLet a whispering wind enchant my browLet me remember each embracing somehow This night of dreams brings my heart solitudeLike opening heaven with a cusp of moonStars once enchanting sparkle with lightDreaming in darkness oh wonderful night Dancing leaves bring shadows forlornAll these wonders as new seasons bornOh how I love this cool autumn musePumpkin smiles lit with flickering fuse Pantry full for the long winter to comeFire light by the crisp night til dawnDarkness holds longer as season goes onBut yet I remember holding on tightIn the dream of yesterday, til morn light © cat hodgson Cathy Hodgson

Forever My Love As time goes on I still see the girlThat stepped down the petal aisleThe twinkle in her sky blue eyesThat still makes my heart fly You made my heart do a spinI knew long ago we would winI don't see faded hairYour beautiful life I share I feel the connection before we touchI feel when you walk into the roomYou have become a part of meThe part that opens in bloom It happened the day I seen your smileAs it danced across the sunI could look into your eyes a mileAs they enlighten with fun Here we reach the golden yearsI know why it is thus calledBecause I know I'll dance with youForever in Heavenly halls Jerimiah 31: 3 Cat Hodgson 2/11 Cathy Hodgson

Fossil Time become fossils within a soulAs bubbling brook whispering insideThere were stories along this journeyTold time and again through being But we remember cuddles of warmthThat will cradle us until the subsequentThe door is ours to open at willA stolen smile embracing thoughts Taking us yet back on another trailOf young and free of worldlyYet that walk, of considering nothingUninhibited by trails of trials Here we are at another life spanTime on our side longer yetAs eternity steps to greet usHolding out his arms in love © Cat 6/27/16 Cathy Hodgson

Frost Chills Frost Chills Chills run bone deep as a new bard steps from shireHis mystic demander cloaks all his path siresPainting the meadow with ice laid deepCovering in shadows making nature weep Leaves scatter and shy deep in the cornerAll fall into a yawning sleep, from his porterOnce heavy and fruit boasting now bareBurrowed deep in crevices everywhere Swishing and blow the wind tries to helpBut a nuisance itself we cry with a yelpThere is no stopping this muse as it flowsOh my heart!

God Of Thunder 1Lost without her love, clouds gather darkest painSinging her death song, took her on a voyage of strainThe waves they toppled her into The Niagara RiverCold water took her under with her last shiver 2Floating to the crest of the falls in a sad stateHeno the God of Thunder took concern of her fateWith delicate hand she was cared for by his youngest sonWho fell in love with the sweetness, of her heart he won 3Legends filled Niagara with joyful enchantment thoroughly underOh how their marriage overjoyed the god of thunderSoon another jubilant fascination took them by surprisePart human and god would be born from their loving rise 4Born to them a male baby who loved his grandfather bestThe grandfather loved all of his new family and felt blessedThe maiden missed her tribe yet was a very happy wifeUntil one day chanced a serpent who would stir up some strife 5A great snake came down the river and poisoned the waterHe settled in to feed on the people like a great squatterThe Maiden ask if she may go back to warn her adoredAnd with the soft heart of a grandfather he did accord 6With his hand in the middle of her people he sat her downShe told of the serpent and how they would be a ghost townThe people decided to pack up bound for a life to roamHeno himself came and took her back to her new home 7When the serpent went to feed his mouth hissed foamThe serpent was determent, turned upstream to combHeno heard the might roar of the serpents raged voiceHeno threw a great thunderbolt and it died in the hoist 8The body of the serpent floated down streamIt created a large circle at the falls seamit caused huge amounts to fall over the god's homeHorrified by this disastrous turn of events he moan

Good Morning Good Morning Is there life without a passionate night?At times there is only this sensitivity to dreamAs night cobalt sky turns to light weaving purpleAnd the sun whispers a hint of blushing pink Each warm colorful embrace takes me on this trackI step on white puffed up clouds beyond to dreamOh I know how you whisper to my consciousnessI embrace the new day that my God offers The fragrant morning has twisted sweetnessLike sugar and cream in my tea cupLet me sip this delightful honeyed treatMay I pour a little to each who chances by? © cat Cathy Hodgson

Heavens Sea Every morning it's a trip to the Sea.To watch the ships as they flee.Oh Bessie can't you see,He's never coming back to thee. In the storm his bow did rip.That's when he made his last trip.Her mind just won't let it be.It's his face she longs to see. At the old bench is where she'll see.The love she's lost..On Heaven's Sea.. Cathy Hodgson

Hidden In The Shadow Oh how morning sunlight whispersTo enlighten the world with goldDew sparkling with a youthful green touchEarth sets under the oak shadowWishing all the universe to blue clarity A kingfisher watches from highWondering if he should share his fishYet the pain of hunger stopsAnd he shallows wholeClouds collect to see the show Sun gathers high swallowing the shadowEarth stands to stretch his wise armsA star gapes, yet there is only honeyAs he sets back in the meadowProceeds writing his poem with love Cathy Hodgson

His Name Is Morning His name is morningHe kisses me quietlyWith promised warmth,As swallows dance above the meadowBreeze whispers a touching melodyFar away stands a ghostly white oakReaching to heavens gloryScents of floral fragrance uttersBlissfully to relish Goose flesh ticks across my skinYet I know this is a momentOne to hold a little whileAs he has me in his embraceEnchanted, it’s been so very longWinter tried to steal the romanceRain came to chase it awayBut so lovely is my MorningI wish for him to stay © cat hodgson Cathy Hodgson

Howling Lone The quiet of the night mocks my wretched songThe lone path is long winding and shadowy dark Listen to the howling wolf; he too hides in brush aloneNo fanged mate to share his captured bleeding meal Tarring the flash with teeth snarling at no opponentI walk on trembling in sorrow tread barren depths The shaded tree tops hoot with flapping wingsI flinch withering immovable scared stark stiff Yet I know I must climb out of this ravine gullyBut hence there is little light here to saunter the route I curl back the paisley coverlet only to coldnessHeart furls snaked in nostalgic repressed images I pull over the same covering, curling a fetal positionHoping to bite the dream of a different existence By C.E.

Is Void Grey Where does the sun get his light?Blooming manipulation grows garden weedsOld oak knows where grass grows bestGrey horizon intermingling with sea foamLost soul lies back where it isTime always wrestles the breezeUntil the time twilight touches meWandering at the wrong shoreEmotions are just what they areMist rises touching my face with tearful longingWhat is love without emotion just dry bones?Dark dust blows by from flesh chimneyThere must be mist for heart to breathLet me redeem me in timeless spaceHeart must warm slowly to entwineLet me hold the warm innocence once moreLet me smear the mused paint, to see a rainbowLet me close my eyes to breathe you deep to my soulAnd your whisper will sing in my ear.Oh gentlenessWhere has his gentleness gone?Where is the kiss in this emptiness? © Cathy Hodgson 2/13 Cathy Hodgson

Lifeless Moon Longing heart walks up the dark trailIt whisks through the mind in a melancholyThe lonely heart cries for the touching surgeSmiles change to down cast hills and rain filled valleysGifts lay in the box of useless wood particlesPainted muse sings a song of violin stringsMelodrama as phantoms opera mooning windowMoon glistens lifeless to the surrounding starsWhy do the pains of heart hurt the dance?Can I pick up life as a torch lights the nightMust the flame always flicker out in smoke Cathy Hodgson

Living In The Mist Oh dream lover why did you changeOnly wanted to be a whispering heartCrowned princess hid in misty morningsTouched with longing, within, without I could have been anything I imaginedOr anything you wanted me to beI didn't need much a personalityYet when you stepped into my realm You started telling me those thingsThe ones I hid from even meI liked darkness, I didn't want to seeYour insight was not welcome With you I could dream and playIn a land of rainbows and unicornsBut there you are in the middleWith truth stuck on your forehead Misty world of dreams now voidIn this dynasty of dreary soilThere is no path that leads outI may never escape to dream Oh dream lover why did you changeOnly wanted to be a whispering heartCrowned princess hid in misty morningTouched with longing, within, without © cat Cathy Hodgson

Love Whispers Love walks in starry night and morning mistLes it is the first light that sees the skyOr the last to dropp in twilight shining eyeHolding tight yet the need to whisper bye But dreams go on the ship of togetherEver in the silent ripping storm of weatherEyes closed in restful slumber swaying in tuneThe love never leaves it lives in each whisper Dancing on the melody of enchanted timeSinging a song of meeting you on the moonWhile riding the beams in tomorrow’s chamberA enlighten thoughtful vision as ever walked Cathy Hodgson

Loves First Bloom Oh do you remember the day we first metI am sure the sun was shining her brightestThe soil was rich with roses a bloomingOh the sky, remember those soft fluffy clouds They rocked us like babies asleep at full noonYou must remember the scent from the lilacShe filled us with her enchantment to dreamDrifting in the air like a nurtured queen The Oak he spread proud full limbs to shadeAs the attraction had its way in dreamsI lay by your side nestled in the adoring auroraOh I do remember all that of loves first bloom © Cat Cathy Hodgson

Shining Hope When something is beyond spectacularAnd the tears fall freely unguardedYour lips part showing all the whitesYou couldn't shut your mouth if you wanted You taste the salt, your eyes shine brighterThan any far off star, the others standAnd they embrace you with theirsThen a buzzer goes off and confetti falls Excitement runs like electric power throughInvisible streams, you hear the cat callsAnd the whistles and the shuffle of feetAs everyone at once stands to their feet Then another buzzer goes off far awayYou turn in your hard make shift bedYour stomach growls for another dayYou remember soup kitchen opens at nine All worldly position are stuffed in a boxYou dust off last night's snow, stand stifflyYet you have enough left of the dreamTo light you face to tarry forwardA step at a time through another day © cat hodgson Cathy Hodgson

Sky Watching Heart drowns in endless sorrow infinite Gray clouds gather covering the sunset The music fades to the beat of regret Lonely washes her hands in rains that flood Why has the window closed off the beams? The sprouts are covered in the sliding mud Downward plunging to the valley below Being buried in the deep trench tomb

Sleeping Melody I wake to the morning of dreamsRise to dance on toes in loves stepSwaying I sing a sighing songDoes anyone listen to this melody?Lest it be lost to the windsI put my ear to the deaf windsShe sighs her breezy breathThe trees take up a swayAs the winds song ruffled the grassI lay my head in its softnessSleep again to the melody… Cathy Hodgson

Sleepless I wander in the room of lonelyTwinkling light glisten the windowMy tired eyes roam the ceilingNothing but white wash to graspCar lights dance the room like impsWalking the rooms evasive perimeterI wish to sleep in dreams of dreamsMind wondering to the ills of ifsOh tiredness take me to that landThe one I want to meander to playEyes rubbed red numb heart driftsAt the only response to my pleaThen there it is bounding aboutAnother light at my window Cathy Hodgson

Song Of The Morning Beneath the scarlet sky a whisperCome play a song within my cradleMove slowly not to walk sleepingYet gentle like a swaying tree Awe the breeze trickles with mistAs lips bend to taste sweet puckerWhile sleepy eyes glimmer like glassA melody from song bird plays Morning dew gleams beneath the oakAnd shadows hold tight unto eternityThen a stream of sunlight takes holdAll heaven is loose on earthly dawn Lighting scarlet’s valley with blossomsLike cascading rivers flowing redLet me hold onto this memoryUntil yet morning comes again! © cat Cathy Hodgson

Souls Rippling Journey Loss is end of each story before the new bookHeld tight is illusions dream beneath the starsDo we wish to dream in unison always, yet?There is more to earth then rotational pull Once whispered waves ripple in universeAnd the void is under the current undulationPhysic waves in blue shift as whispers fade byNo sorrow only annulled is left in the rouse Heart is ever a dreamer to argue vitalityWill the wave come back to point of origin?Love wants what it mustn't, pursuing legacyTruth is a long journey to reason of enchantment © cat hodgson Cathy Hodgson

Sparks Of Autumn When golden leaves rustle in seasonLike a whisper of soft winters breatheYouthful treasures sing a sleepy lullabyMy soul wanders through streets of yesterday Autumn colors dance in winter’s handMellow fires burn in warm flightTime is just a ticking soundBlossoms still acquire rainbows Weathers panes glisten with dewTime is embrace with triumphAs little mirrored cherubim danceHeart smiles at the echo of life Fauna seems to watch finiteAs torrents of rivers flowLet autumn be embraced with fervorA season of color and warmth Let the book of yesterday holdLike sweet honey on a biscuitFragrant as honeysuckleFor that would be the greatest tale © cat hodgson Cathy Hodgson

Storms Of The Heart Whispering rain falling on my faceHide away the tears without a traceLightning flashing long across the skyMaking me remember the night you said goodbye Wind rushes in blowing away my mindLeaving lost memories behindClouds forming high in the sky aboveMakes me yearn for times we had love Stormy nights of passion spent in your armsWrapped in your loving embrace and enchanted charmsBut forces beyond our love worked to keep us apartWhen you packed your bag to go, You took along my heart Cathy Hodgson

Sunshine Kisses Oh how the sun shines on your pathPeculiarity may cause thoughtless atmosphereCalmness refines whispering on each shooting starNaught will harm, nor disdainful brightness within I see the moon disappear with the rising sunAs darkness hides in tomorrow’s glowing radianceBirds of night settle home nesting to sleepModules holding all universes hold tight another day Oh how the dew spreads his kisses aboutTouching each leaf with tender loveSee the gleaming sun reaching her jeweled fingerLike diamonds glistening their luminosity © Cat Cathy Hodgson

Tattered Rose Rose, who will enjoy your fragrant scentNo longer a sweet touching sensationWithered, fragile with prickly stalksDesigns waste back to birthing soil Southern breeze once spread your delight Now scatters your broken particlesRefuge like dung a mere fertilizer Dreadful, casting eyes yonder far Sun again has hung her captiveIn direr dungeon executed rightsDew Drop once fed life’s threadNow fathers’ calamities decay Humming birds now mere shadowsUnearthing alternative banquetsHovering on elsewhere delectablePassing once swooned, faded blossoms Your decompose fades my tomeBruising once white folios yellowBadgering script whispers with songNostalgic strums somewhere Yet a trifling whisper endures sweetnessWith a catch that captures my soulDistinguishing what heart flourishesAnd then, sentiment obligates possession © c.e. hodgson Cathy Hodgson

The House On The The trees they sway and reflect from the broken glass windowThe flash from the approaching electrical storm is the only light seen from it'spane.

The House On The Hill The House on the Hill Trees that sway reflect from the broken glass window. A flash from theapproaching electrical storm is the only light seen from its pane. The torn curtainlooks like a human disfigured and old, watching for an uninvited guest. The old black Iron Gate makes a nervous moan. It sways with the windsqueaking back and forward. In the distance a wolf cry's as the moon is coveredby a dark cloud. The grandness of the old house is seen from afar, AbandonedEmpty from the wane of wealth, inside the only residents crawl around therooms, Sneaking from the cracked corners to fly in the night, seeking out foodfor yet another generation of their own. Soon the weathered wood will rot like fall leaving, A mere pile of refuge Far toogone to reconstruct. Like a depression of worthless sense The stories of children tales Ring to its glory, of phantoms and ghouls And othermost mystical of creatures But is it just an old house, It's owner gone on, left unattended to its own..Waiting..
