"Amulets"

       "Amulets"

Charmed by life and all of it's dreams.

By rapture held, with all that life brings.

Mesmerized with all that is offered in sight;

Lost in ecstasy...charmed by delight.

 

Enraptured by a look, a touch, a smile,

Overpowered by...her continuous guile.

Fascinated and drawn...to life's flame,

Ravished by all life missed...and thats a shame.

 

For life can not offer,  all here and now;

Waiting for Heaven, takes a life long vow;

Where all riches will be offered for free,

And all of life's pleasantrys...are awaiting thee.

             Valentine

ps i think amulets works ... in your context it is a charm that is as false as other "pleasantries" ;)

True and powerful words dear Poet.
"For life can not offer, all here and now;
Waiting for Heaven, takes a life long vow;
Where all riches will be offered for free,
And all of life's pleasantrys...are awaiting thee."
A good life should lead to paradise. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

I am not religious, nor superstitious, but I think this is a beautifully melodic poem representing your talent and your faith, dear poet
