Beauty

Watching the sun

I missed the beauty

Watching the ocean

I missed the beauty

Watching the woods

I missed the beauty

What I missed

Is me

The beautiful thing of Earth

Alone

When the shadow roared
I felt that I wanted to scream
But who was holding my neck
Why was my voice not coming out?
 
In the aching pain I cried
I was alone in the dust
Some people walked over me
I wish I had said something
 
In the hospital I saw faces
When the nurse looked confused
I worried about what was going on
The volcanoes were ready to erupt
 
Test after test I waited
The result was my fate
Accept or reject is not a choice
I had to go alone with the findings
 
When the trees are bare
And embrace the chillness
The birds too leave them behind
And find shelter for their favour
 
My silence is your selection
Let the darkness boom
If I do the same that you did
What’s the difference between you and me?

The Casuarina

During the eruption we saw the smoke

Aching pain held us tight

The moments of emission

We were frozen

Through the air we travelled with time

Under the casuarina tree

We made our home

We were children and were happy

Covered in silence I bowed my head

She never asked, did I miss her?

I wanted to hear a word of anger

How could I know she loved me in pain?

The wind blew and the casuarina bent

We jumped onto her branches

Swinging in the breeze

And nattering to her dews

The heaps cracked; softness melted

Wings of the casuarina held us intact

In the twisting and turning

Tuning the rhythm with the rapport

The scrap book flipped

Roughness of love

Flawed and defective

Without editing

Wiped it all out

And I filled it

With colours of the rainbow

 

When I chose violet

You shook your head

When I drew indigo

You showed a grin

When I picked the blue

You said it looks nice

I tinted you in green

And tied it with a yellow rose

When the orange blasted

I locked red on your lips

 

In the rainbow’s perfection

The sky seemed vibrant

In the spectrum

I wrote

Not in glitter

Or in syrup

A friend’s name that I can trust!

Valentine’s Day is over

Red roses sighed

As I danced in the breeze

You came with a knife

Cut my root

 

In the shop

He called my name

In his hand I swayed

When he looked at her

I knew I was not the one

How sweet!

Graced in syrup

She honoured me proudly

I burst into laughter

With the blabbering lassie

 

Love was labelled

When you slept on my petals

Next dawn you forgot me

Between sweet and sour

I was so puzzled

 

In my desire

You will be my friend

I will not wish to see you near

You are the love

And I am the beauty

Day and night I thought of you

To send a message I could write

Words were jiggling in front of me

I failed to choose the ones that were right

Red roses were calling my name

Hearts of chocolates in a box and ready to eat

The scent of earth sought a place in my body

Valentine’s Day emotions turning up the heat

I opened the windows to see your flares

The wings of butterflies flapped around

Sun kissed grasses bowed in the dew

I felt your breath near me on the moist ground

I picked the verse to suit my needs

Blushing in the frame I hid in you

The wind carried the words in the air

Echoing 'I love you ' and it’s still so true

The Spark

A day full of stress

To whisper in your ears

A day to depress

To bleat in your face

I came as a mess

Looking for you

 

Before my spiel

You gave me a peck

And made me feel

The power of your tune

I forgot my heel

And melted in your smile

 

Holding me tight

You moved to the side

Showed me the light

The charm that you brought

A valentine bright

Passed a shiver to my body

 

The red roses bloom

In the spark of your gaze

I rested and forgot the gloom

While drawing on your chest

The clock in the room

Stopped for us to doze

My Valentine

A day to cry

A day to complain

A day to challenge

A day to conquer

A day to carry

A day to consent

A day to cease

A day to convert

A day to clean

A day to count

A day to cite

A day for you

A day for me

A day so close

But I choose your day

Because you are my valentine

Reflections of Friendship

Today

In the mirror

Enjoying my beautiful face

You tried to let me down

Showing the frowns that I grace

 

I looked at your eyes

Said silently

You gave me a hint

Showed my greying hair

Reminding me to tint

 

When I chose a shade of gold

You whinged

Did I tell you

The gilt represents your memories

When you walked out in the blue

 

Mirrors may change

But the images do not

When you saw me in you

You were playing with reflections

And you forgot to see what is true

The Cleansing

If you want love come to me

Hope you do not mind

When I analyse you

Hope you will not sob

When I cleanse you

Sorry I have to use

The scrubbing brush

It will give you pain

But all the dirt you carried

I will peel it away

Do not be puzzled or in misery

As you embrace the moisture

I will lead you to the fireplace

When you have found cosiness

I will burn the lumber

When I let you go

Please do not turn back

The ocean is there for your comfort

Heal yourself in love, but promise

You will do the same to those you come across

The midnight blues will reach me soon

Heights to climb where your memories are laid

Floods of thoughts stream along in the alley

With a grin, I am glorified in the glade

 

The chats were brief but were enough

Nothing was told, we had to choose

All of a sudden you cut me off

I have to accept a warrior’s dues

 

But your absence tears me apart

Your note was so warm and sweet

In the mountains I buried your hopes

I saw the poppies; buds there to greet

 

Oh my soldier, here I am again

Holding the poppies to your thoughts

I do not know whom you are at war with

But I will wait until you have fought

 

Sun glances, reaching out to kiss you

I keep you in my thoughts to start   

The flares will bring me your stories to tell

I hold the buds near to my heart

 

 I walked downhill to hear your tales

O my dear, Happy Valentine’s Day

A tear appeared on the corner of my eye

How long I know your thoughts will play

 

A sharp blade appeared in the alley

For what he asked I shook my head

Scattered poppies all up in the air

I held the poppies in the blood that shed 

 

Dazzling bushes ushered the sun rise

I felt thirsty in the grey

My love, my Valentine, be happy wherever you are

The morning dews whispered Happy Valentine’s Day
