The Drowning Dream,

Of Sleepless Nights,

Shattered Smiles,

Waiting New Morn's Light,

Wavering Whispers,

Hailing Helios,

To Ferry to His Window,

A Brilliant dawn,

To Save Her Vestments,

From Pools of Hope, Now Shallow,

Faith Has Since Departed,

Of Love,

Mirroring His Ardour,

His Poverty Born Not,

Of Want Of Money or Power,

A Poor Man, Heart Shorn,

Love's Cupboard Bare,

Nursing Cracked Lips,

Dried in this Drought of Despair,

He Steps into the Rain,

To hide the World, From His Tears,

A Shell,

Hollowed and Faithless,

Tainted,

With Pagan Prayers...

Rain

Rain....

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

Come Hither Rain,

Firmament's Loving Tears,

In Thy Grace, Wash away,

This Foolish Man's Fears,

Flood This Heart,

A Barren Landscape, Rived,

Ferry Back Seeded Sands,

Replant a Meadow of Life,

Reverent, Behind this Window,

Gazing at your Poignant Descent,

I implore Thee, Heaven's Gift,

Bathe Me With Love's Consent...

Simple Wish

Simple Wish

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

I speak,

Yet No words Form,

Illusions Consume my World,

As Ill Fate Conforms,

Fate that Love Begot,

Of Fate that Life Forgot,

Two minds of Single heart,

Weighing Measure Of Love,

Or Of Practical Depart,

I beseech Thee, O Providence,

Smile in my Favour,

That I Might Reminisce,

In her Smile's Fervour,

The Glow Divine of Her Eyes,

Bequeath me Soon,

That I may Gratefully Thank,

The Bequest of this Boon...

Silence

Silence

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

The Silence Deafens,

His eyes Search in Vain,

He Feebly Voices his Appeal,

For Someone To Ferret His pain,

The Void in His Chest Resounds,

As in this Empty Room He Sits,

Strapped in an Electric Chair,

Waiting for Someone to To flip the Switch,

The Silence remains Haunting,

Ripping His Mind's fragile Seam,

His Fears dance in the Shadows,

Circling, Stalking and Mocking Him,

Solace, He has long forgotten,

A Memory, Distant, Tattered And Faded,

Only this Silence remains Enveloping,

A Rhythm, Lonely, Twisted and Jaded......

Lucinda

Lucinda

Draw Near,

Lady Lucinda,

Smile Upon Your Vassal,

That Gratefully I may Pay Homage,

For tenement,

In Your Heart's Castle,

Dip Your Hands,

In my Tribute,

In This Chalice,

I bring Love's Laughter,

Draw Your Fingers Closer,

If You Would Cup this Water,

These Tears,

A Simple Gift,

Gathered of this Loving Heart,

Hold them with Care,

Dear Lucinda,

As from this Piece of Myself,

I Part.....

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...

Cold Were His Mornings,

Darkness Had the Keys to His Door,

But Dawn Broke One Day,

When Her Face, He Saw,

Her Hands Brushed Away The Worries,

That Had Fallen Over His Eyes,

In Her Voice, She Carried Him Peace,

That was Oft Missing in His Life,

Freedom She bought Him,

Her Eyes, Sharing His Thoughts,

Memories She Returned Him,

Of Goodness, He had Long Forgot,

Blissfully He Gazes,

Witness To a Beauty Without Par,

Yet, Woe Begets His Heart,

That Has to Love an Angel From Afar...
