Sunset
Colours splashed from east to west
Crisp air tingling my skin.
This is the time I love the best
Spending time with him.
He becons me into his arms of rest
To stay through the nights long hours
He helped me pass the days severe test
As I count the blessings he Showers.
Tis the sunset so sweet it is
As nature’s syphoney swells
As I consider A new how
wonderfully I am blest
On this gold and red sunset.

Inner voice
Go easy on me
I am fragile and weak
The road has been long
And the goal I seek
Alludes me as a mirage
Or highest peak
Go easy on me
When you speak

Flower
A golden flower on a tree
A lamp of peace
And serenity, for a moment
I stand in awe while its
Perfect beauty teachers me.
I need not reach dazzling
Heights or touch the sky in
Starry flight. All there is for
Me to do is let my beauty
Reach from me to you.

True Calling
This moment
Treasure
When in doubt
Reminisce on it.
The higher purpose
Exists above fleeting
Feelings which ebb
And, flow.
Those around you
Know when upon
Your face it glows.

Seasons
The spring time of
Our love has turned
Into the summer
Of our joy.
There is warmth
Still to feel
In the beauty
Of a falling leaf
As the laughter
Lines appear.
In the gift of love
For all the seasons
Each and every year.

Requiem
Hold no more
The pain within
Let it go.
Release the stones
Intent to hurl,
Don’t keep them
Let them fall.
Burn the ledger
Of past wrongs
Place the ashes
In an urn;
Bury them
Somewhere
Deep within,
The sacred place
Of a healing heart.

Please
Talk to me
Of this day
How good it feels
To be free from
Yesterday.
Speak to me
Of the hope
The future has
While we live
Our dreams
Today.

Inner beauty
You need to
Be going at
A snail’s pace
To discover how
Beautiful 1 am.
You may see
Me driving a
Fast car or
Travelling by tram.
It’s not my
Exterior but my
Heart, which beats
Faster whenever you
Hold my hand.
This is what
Defines me for
Who I am.

Halo
Girl when you
Wear your halo
As a necklace
It glitters and shines
Highlighting your face.
When you wear
Your halo for stilettos
You grow taller
Walking with grace
In every place.
I love it
When you bend
Your halo into a hop
Which twirls round
Your waist,
You’re the delight
Of my eyes
You’re my, favourite
Surprise.
You’re clothed in light
Whichever way
You wear it
By just being you.

Friend
You’re my sanctuary
When I’m weak.
You’re my temple
When you speak.
You encourage me
With your smile.

A Mother’s delight
A mother’s creation
Is her celebration.
Her joy is boundless
On your graduation.
In each school
You have
Attended to this,
Never a call
Has gone amiss.
How true it is
That mothers
Hunger for news
Even of those
Courses we need
To redo.

Gracious Giver
Soul of generosity
Your Spirit gives
From the wealth
Within your heart.
A storehouse full
Of finest motives,
Priceless as the
Rare works of art.
From this well
Inside your being
A spring overflows.
Watering the tender
Plants that grow
Up beside you
They know of
Your compassion
And the great
GIVER also.

Clean slate
When we give
Each other a
Clean slate mate,
We release ourselves
Of hate, bitterness
And regret.
We have the time
To embrace and
T’alk face to face
And share dreams
Which begin when we
Wipe our slates clean.
