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

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...

Angel

Angel

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...

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

She

She...

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

Eyes Of Pearls,

She Uses to See,

Wavy Hair,

That Rivals The Sea,
Her Lips a Brilliant Red,
Next to Which the Finest Roses Fade,

Walking On Air,

She Seems to Float,

Causing Me on Her To Dote,

Since the Birth of Time,

The Sunset Sky,

Has Managed to Lay Claim,

To Be The Most Beautiful Sight,

Till In this World, She Came...

An Ageless Reflection of a schoolboy's Infatuation.....

Dear Mother,

Four Years Have Not Dimmed Your Memory,

Every Detail, Every Nuance,

You Remain in my Heart Impasse...

I Remember Your Warm Smile,

Ever Ahead Your Weary Eyes,

I Remember Your Steadfast Will,

Regardless the Harshness of Life,

I Remember Your Discipline,

That Gave me This Cognizance,

I Remember Your Tears,

Shed for This Young Fool's Dissidence,

But Above All,

Dearest Mother,

I Remember Your Sacrifices,

Your Life's Ever Present Cadence...

Thru You,

I learnt to Give when I didn't have,

Learnt to Share when there Wasn't Enough,

You Showed me a Bad Hand didn't Matter,

As Long as I Played it with a Laugh...

To Explain How Much I Miss You,

I Could Learn All Men's Languages,

And Study The Soft Whisper of the Wind,

I could speak The Speech of Waves,

Master the Song of Falling Rain,

And Still Come up Wanting...

Dear Mother,

I Struggle To Understand Why You left Then,

The World is Bereft a Heart Too Kind,

The Sun May Have Set On Your Life,

But The Twilight Remains in Mine...

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

I am Unable to title This Poem. It Speaks for Itself. I miss you Amma..

Ill

Ill

==============

It is without avenue,

That I return to this Street,

Encumbered by Lonesome Chance,

A Voice in Solemn Requiem,

The Vision imparted Uncanny,

Without a forewarn Soliloquy,

In Contempt I Raise my Silence,

In this Poesy, Denied a Dream...

=====================

I just needed to say something again....

Dear Wave

Dear Wave...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Wave,
Finger of The Seven Seas,
Grasp me, 
In your White fervour,
Ferry me away from these shores,

Bear me,
To whence you came unbidden,
Dear Wave,
I implore thee,
Free me from these Sandy claws,

Far Away,
Into that endless blue,
Free Me,
With your Teary mercy,
Like those who cried to you before,

Dear Wave,
Vessel of the Swirling breeze,
Befriend me,
with your violent grace,
And take me inside your door...
