Pretty
may this child be good and right
may this southern wind blow and veer
may this mother watch the light
may this flowerbed stridently cheer
may this poetry never writhe or end
may this peaceful romance increase its flows
may your beauty life befriend
may these bells stop their heart-rending echoes
may this cuddle gently sway
may this love affair be gritty
may the people refrain from fray
may your image remain pretty
may this love affair be gritty
may your image remain pretty

Retrospection
brooding about your sad eyes
your raining tears breaking my heart
your lovely mouth never saying lies
i cannot stand it i’ll fall apart
unless i am in the grip of your warm arms
kissing your lips and burning with fires
i raise my eyes and look up at the moon
hoping to see you soon in june
that would make pains end
driving fears to an unknown land
but i want the whole of it to be true
for i see more than a friend in you
in times of rain and sunshine
i dreamt i was yours and you were mine
translated into warming breaths now and forever
but i know the dream will be in the never-never
Anonymous
in the nature the beloved heart brays
with the melody of the poor wretched soul the art plays
on the fire the air of burning shades lays
near the cradle a baby steals the vacancy from her days
still relishing resurrection in perfect isolation she stays
The Fridge
spots of air
moving
speaking
languages of stars
here there
freezing
my lover behind bars
thrusting
him into the belly of darkness
punishing
emptiness of my heart
throbbing
falling
apart
still
believing
in love and bliss
amidst excitement and thrill
at the edge of abyss
What A Vista
nature
beginning of worlds
man and faith
its loyal followers
feelings have fled the shelter they once
