A Prayer

A Prayer

++++++++++++++++++++

Lord I offer,

A Prayer to Thee,

One I humbly ask, You heed,

Each night my mother,

Lays down to rest,

Her Body, Her Mind,

I pray you Bless,

Let Not a A single worry cross her face,

Comfort my angel,

In the warmth of your Grace,

As long as the Stars,

In the Night Sky, Glitter,

Sweeten her Dreams,

Till Honey seems Bitter,

Remove from Me,

And Grant unto Her,

Weigh All Scales,

In My Mother's favour,

O Lord, Think Not twice,

About my request,

And All other Wants,

I will Keep to my chest....

I wrote this, One July night, after having spoken to my Mother. 10 months before She left this place. I read this poem today, and remembered how I felt when I wrote it. I Quote myself, So that I will always remember.

"Yesterday i spoke to my Mum..It brought a smile to my face...I really can't wait to see her...I love that Woman Sooo much..I only pray that i can be the son She Raised....."

Yesterday

Yesterday...

I Think of Yesterday,

A Memory of Love,

Edges Tailored With Bliss,

A Canvas of Peace's Cove,

Of A Yesterday,

Spent Lost in a Rapture,

Called Away by Freedom,

Secured In Love's Armour,

I Dream of Yesterday,

Her, That Loved With a Smile,

She, That Walked with Serendipity,

The Lady,

That Weaved the Passion of the Nile,

If Tomorrow Had But a Moment,

Of Yesterday's Poised Grace,

I could not Help But Blush,

Witness, To The Return of Love's Face....

A Night

A Night

++++++++++++++

Nights Like these,

Bear Fruit I've Savoured Before,

Dark, Stagnant, Foreboding,

Trees from a Forest bred of Woe,

Stumbling over the Bracken,

Of Misery's Wiry Fingers,

I breathe the scent of Fury,

And find her Whisper Lingers,

Alas, In This Storm,

Even The Wind's Chariot,

Cannot Pull itself from Sorrow Away,

I walk in Resignation,

Surrendering My Dissent,

To This Night's Solemn Parley...

The Equation

The Equation

+++++++++++++++++

Honey, Take My Hand,

Come Walk With Me,

Set Your Footsteps next to Mine,

Honey, Down by Where,

The Sands meet the Waves,

Leave your Hands In mine,

These Waves Don't Crash,

Till They see The Shore,

Darlin, The Sun's Never Warm,

Till you're At the Door,

Its When the Wind Falls in Love,

That We Hear the Leaves Sing,

Its When the Day Meets the Night,

That we see the Sky's Sheen,

Just Like Words Don't Rhyme,

When They are Separated,

Honey, Hearts Don't Skip a Beat,

Till They are United,

There isn't a Mystery,

To this Psalm I've Sung,

Darlin, The Equation's Simple,

Love Plus Two, Is One...
