Parsifal's Poetic Verse

Parsifal's Poetic Verse

Introduction

Welcome to my 28th book of poetry. Once again we are here to find answers to the questions of life on earth through extrapolative literature and this time it is still going to be another poetry book for you to follow and persue. This one focuses on everyday things like, life, people, romance, God and heaven, country atmosphere, travelling, tropics, enjoyment, beaches and places. As per usual it will be and is going to be a journeying adventure. All the good stuff that you have come to expect by now in my poetry. I will be very self conscious, not to be too repetative with my work to varriate and differ as much as possible from previous subjects like these, that have been allready covered in some depth. However the challenge remains to write different, new and exciting verse out of what the book of Poetic Verse has in its very enticing and desired subject matter. There is still a great need to be creative and original in the depicture of the poets created and imagined scene. Looking for ways to be exploratative, relevant and rational in originality, while trying to cover as many different aspects of the verse and write with as many descriptive and provocative words as I can, so as to make you wonder! why did he do that, why did he use that word and just how did he come up with that philosophical concept of reason and ingenuity. The more I think about it, the more I think how wonderful and great, the new book of Parsifal's Poetic Verse is going to be. Come with me for the ride and view of looking once again, as I digress and interwine into many different types of the words of life. Putting pieces, into a picture puzzle for you and me to sort out and work on in the process of the progress of writing this my new book, Poetic Verse. There is always going to be a beautiful possibility of romance, love and the variances of the normal lifestyle of modern day living, but also relevant social apsects and depictures of reality. It is a joy to write and a labour of love once again. Hoping to get this one done in a quick and orderly fashion once again. But still needing to take the necessecary time to get it right. God bless you as you come along on the journey and stay tuned, buckle up again for the ride of your life. Now lets get on with the job of doing the hard yards of writing this book. Enjoy the read.

Chapter 1 Euphoria

1 Spiritual High

Stuck in mind on a spiritual high,

Thinking that I am flying home through the sky;

Lost in love and looking for a home,

Cost me all I had and nothing I own.

Its euphoria on a spiritual high,

Thinking of loving everything I can;

My minds gone to heaven and wind where I've been,

Time for reality and being spiritually kind.

All of this loving, I don't know what to do,

God has the reigns and it is time for dreams come true;

Love on the ocean, thinking and dreaming,

All the things that I would rather be doing.

God cares for me and sees my heart,

A spiritual blessing is just a small start;

But big enough to see me home and around and above,

A heart full of hope and a head full of love.

God loves little children more than I can imagine,

He taught me how to love and see;

All the very good things of God,

About spiritual blessings and the fruit on my mind.

A spiritual high, I am living in a dream,

Clouds floating by and looking at me;

Time for everything and everything needs time,

A spiritual blessing of a home in heaven on high.

Signed

Lost in love.

Where God abides at home and right;

To love and cherish God forever.

And is the sunsetting on all we have done.

Time lines are facinating to watch to reach.

Being made at a chance of a person strolling by,

Footprints in the sand, washed away by the waves;

Buying away to live long past the day,

Timelines are trying to make your eyes cry.

The pain in the years of the worn away sand,

Water running up the beach in waves at hand;

Ocean beaches are dreamtime for paradise near,

The hurt of the heart, healed in running away fears.

Timelines are precious in the eyes of the beholder,

Moving and enjoying the change of timelines here;

As you hear the waves roar and roll up in ragged tears,

Time lines are forming in any fashion or kind.

Daigonal and jagged, directions of lines,

Running along the beach in parrallel ajacently;

No reason or rhymn fashion or rhyme,

Timelines simply just take up your time.

Timelines giving heart and hope to the viewers,

The less waste and more want without haste;

The amount of timelines are exceedingly great,

One by one, up to five times in the ten foot space.

Signed,

Of poverty and peasantry;

Sufferring to serve The Lord,

Breaking the stronghold on crime;

Waterwheels and grinding wheels,

Wheat for bread baked fresh daily.

Kings and Queens reign in palaces,

Monks serve God in monasteries;

Denial of self, the joyful call,

Happiness in God before money.

Let the weak say that I am strong;

For the Lord our God reigns on high,

The beauty of a life of social isolation,

Solitude and sollumnry, with no intoxication.

Jesus Christ who died, now reigns as God.

Who can say or just who can hear,

What God has got to say to a listening ear;

A cathedral stands in its own domain,

An overwhelming power and beauty and shame.

Wondering why the strange sin is odd;

Judging men by intimidating magnifigance,

The duty and the beauty, all mighty signifigance.

God works to those who work for him,

Nothing comes to those who wait all day.

Then came the rains down once again,

Just as we had finished planting the crops;

God works wonders to those who love him,

Through the power of pill and pen.

Then the rains came, just as expected,

God is good to farmers all the time,

Those who love him and don't ignore Him,

He will bless and reward them everytime.

Then the rains came just as we needed,

God overlooks and sees everything;

Don't worry about the drought though,

God will send the rains even then.

Then the rains came, right on time,

A land of droughts and flooding rains;

Fills the rivers and dams again,

Fish will swim and be happy again.

Then the rains came, God doing His duty,

Loving those who first loved Him;

This is the beauty of the business of creation.

Everything just falls into place right then.

Signed,

Perfect timing.

Final Word - Nights By The Fire

I remember those tired and weary nights, sitting up late around a camp fire. Enjoying the good fills of life and leisure and indulging in the outback camping cooking fires or beach holiday nights with a fire on the beach. Whether it is a fire a home with the family or just a late night meal in a restaurant with a fire going. It seems that the old days have just gone and passed us all by, that there is no fun anymore and that God is just a spoil sport trying to squash our fun. But we really need to get back to the simple things of life, like a camp fire up late, with hot chocolate and marshmellows for supper. Getting to sleep after twelve o'clock some time. The fire will burn itself out overnight if you are on a beach it is pretty safe to just let it burn itself out during the night, keeping you warm as toast while you sleep. God is not really a kill joy, he wants the best for your life, some of these basics are just great to get on with and do sometime, A fire by night when well controlled is a great way to mix and socialize with freinds and family. I use this example because like a fire people burn themsleves out, partying too hard for too long and have to go through the long drawn out process of rehabilitation for years, sometimes eons, never changing from learning the hard way. Making mistake after mistake in the process of doing life like a fire buring itslef out at night. We have to wake up to ourselves and get real, life is not only about money but doing the things you like for as long as you can. For me it is writing peotry and prose, that is a relaxing way of letting out tensions and energy on what is something that is fullfuilling and rewarding in life, I don't want to get to the stage where my fire burns me out, but just go to the place where it is safe to light a fire and enjoy the gaze into it for the night once in a while and unwind with the mesmarizing sparks and embers just doing things right in the night light. God has placed a fire in your life to burn, but not to burn out, doing life right is about being smart, perhaps we have to learn to not light the fire sometimes, but just use the gift of God that he has planted within us all to use and utilize for the benefit and enjoyment to others through writing, or at least that does it for me, how about you having a turn at it to, life is far too short to do otherwise. I hope that we have got the most out of this book which was and now is Poetic Verse, a life time away is a dream every night, think about that one for a finally. God bless. Darel.
