Fresh Wet There

Fresh drops of rain
Circumnavigate the windowpane
Thrown flung by burly wind
Like shooting stars' with lines broke in

Out out into this air
Water dash with whipped up hair
Run run for shelter
Or choose fun run get wet there

Sweet Rain

The Kingdom of Silence
Rained for twenty years
But it was no ordinary rain
No!

For the King of hearts
Reigned with a kind heart
And a sweet tooth
Yes!

Indeed, plenty meters
Of loveheart sweets
Fell for us to read and
Eat!

Praise Be Da Poetry

Me brain suffers badly
From a lack of stimulation

So I'm going to sail me ship
For treasured language education

See me heart stops yearning
When it is happy learning

From a fresh breath of poesies
Misting o'er da seven seas

Keeping You With Me

I use my
Inner eyes
To be near you.

I smile,
As near you
I am content.

Even when
Steam rises
From your volcano,

Even when
I flee to the noise
Of an open space,

I think of
Your gentle
Eyes and trace

Choosing torment?

After all the lies,
What am I to believe?
I followed only what
I wanted to see.
So now I just see
With my eyes,
Not what I read.

Deep inside,
I know our hearts
Do not lie.
Deep inside I know
He's playing
With his own mind,
And mine.

Hello

I'm just going to sit
And read here for a while
If you don't mind

A prior place of sanctuary
Has become a burden on my soul
From which I need respite

Can I sit over here
By the fire please
It's cold outside

Thank you
You are very kind

Silent Prayer

To the Universe;

In my heart
I know you are true
In my soul
I know you exist
My God
My Light
My Guide
One Wholeness

When all else fails
It's just me and You
So this is just a big
Thank you
To the You in me
From the me in You
Our Oneness

Dripping Crystal Chandelier

Dripping crystal chandelier
dropp by dropp tier to tier
Follow one and see how slow
It drips it drops to shapes below

Ice creations such as these
Clearly imaginations tease
As each bulbous stretch hangs on
Before falling splashing to reform

Warm Inside

The wind howls
Through windowpanes
Leaves bristle
Swish on trees

Sanctuary sought
Playing jigsaw
A five thousand piece
On knees

Fire blazing
In the hearth
Adding rose-faced
Cheek

To banter
About who'll be first
To get up
And make the tea

So proud

So proud of you I am my child
The inner you came out on stage
Your first recital I was amazed
And there you were so wonderful so true

The room was moved and so was I
To see my boy my man
Stand tall in front of all of them
So proud of you I am my child
