Dancing Birds

I will plant and grow

My garden for you

Every rose in full bloom

As red like crimson

Never wilting

Petals to remain strong

She loves me

Through this garden

She becomes the swan

Dance under falling stars

Fires to sky our rising hearts

Dusk & dawn how do I adore

Send me so softly kisses

Our own garden to love

With our own wings

Do we make the butterfly sing

Magic moments may always hold us

Together through every adventure

Shall we find the time to spend

In our wonderland of Eden

Softest Sky

Luckiest of eyes to see

This picture of perfection

Every sunrise

For it shines so bright over me

The blooming glow

Cover the fallen snow

May it wash over me

Wrap me so tightly

Arms that never surrender

This worldly vessel

Sleep my beauty

Peaceful dreams of the serene

Angels with invisible wings

Do exist

For can it be real

Lucky I am

To see the greatest gift

Fall over me

Question marks this timestamp

As in servitude to a treasure map

Fading dream, why do you leave?

Edges of Fall

Eyes washed with sunrise

New visions of picturesque skylines

Do adorn my far gaze

Tasting palette for visual symphony

She emerges from the glowing star

Kissing the worlds edge

Where life begins

The never-ending eclipse

Minds realign to reminisce

For each day that cometh before

Be a myth, a dream of sleep

That I thought exist

To witness such beauty

Be it the first day I truly live

She cannot be real

So close to moments perfect

Gazing Eyes

Eyes washed with renewed pride

New visions of picturesque skylines

Shall adorn my reaching gaze

Find me a guide to this bending maze

Tasting palettes for visual symphonies

She emerges from this glowing star

Kissing thunder with dying lips

Where life shall begin

The never-ending eclipse

Minds do realign to reminisce

For each day cometh

Bare shame to fallen promise

Luck be defined to witness such beauty

If today be the first to live without truancy

So close are we to a grandeur dream

We have to be sight unseen

Festive Pictures

Should the summising of happy never change

Be it what still remains be the stain

On the carols we sung of better days

For no pain be pleasure without the rain

These happy faces we see in our plates

Around this table that be serving cheer

When the silent night

Was of nervous anticipation

For even without a chimney present

Should what we wish

When we cannot get to sleep

Be a pleasing sight when reaching its destination

Little eyes open even before the sunrise

See the excitement of life in their eyes

Upon the bed do they jump with anticipation

For parents it be the perfect destination.

Christmas be the festival of festive feats

A festivus of the rest of us

Those grouchy grinches

Finding Your Fight

I wanted another poem but the words escape me. In hope shall days find you well, for good fortune favours the brave. The birds whisper that you are indeed the personification of courage. To inspire  the uninspired we look inside to find the strength we need for the people we love and support. When we lie in bed and stare into the tempting darkness, we may find the mind can wander and explore, shall it aspire for new things or reflect on the days events.

 

In those moments that we start to fret on possible mistakes made. One must remind the mind that the intangible quality of the human is our imperfections that make us who we are, give us character, cute charms. Embrace who you are as unique and exceptional. Be the strength needed to inspire those around you to better days.

Kingdoms of Past

Pushing through the piles of ash

Long ago did the fire quell this longing life

The smell ever present of chaos by words of cruelty

Be they false kings of snakes and women

The bronze crowns that sit on the heads of dead men

For no righteous words they speak

Poisoning wells from whence we drink

Watching crying mothers bury their heaven

Throwing charms to a flying dream

Streams of lost souls do we paint the horizons

At dusk do we see our two suns

Take me their in conscious stare

No cover be so blind to eyes that can’t shut

I see with new vision ever clear in the glass mirror

One for each to spy our true crime

Wonder like I never knew before

Come to me as I pull down the sky

Give ms the ravens eye

I see through each timeline

Say goodbye and no kiss shall I find

Look above to see the glory

Hanging toes on tangled torments

See them shine in all the smiles

Sparkle in Sun that never sets

The Sacrifice

How I miss the feeling of want

For once did I stare into eyes that melt my world

Hold me this morning as we warm each other

Your human heat dispenser unit did you call me

Our naked bodies just holding this moment together

Memories I hold so close and tender

I keep you safe there my treasured love

Hold her dearest star with mother

Be warm and held forever

Do not worry or fear for me

I will find my way to new day.

Leave me you must for no memory hold me steady

If I fall to far, be love of all things for me

A kiss to all that sit in the sky

Lion Heart

Dreams give birth to our garden of fairies

Minds that once saw through time

Stress comes to rest as veiled life

Turn back a page of still framed albums

Leave a note to memories that resonate

Learn through a repetition of mistake

Wise faces shall toast to every sunrise

Still perpetrators of the curious mind

Are we fickle like a small tree

No figs do we grow on thee

Where did the robin go that sat on me

Perched on a sloping branch

Each feather it should drop

Be the falling embers of scarlet letters

Life is ever the seductive temptress

Traverse the mind and find

Soothing waters of silent mother

Skip your stones or build your thrones

Let the ripple be a monsoon for change

Dance with your shadow and take breath

Dressed in our very best regret

No voice for protests of inner strength

Face yourself as the mirror reflects

Can it be true what thou see

A facade to cover that Lion Heart

Rise again to face what army makes haste

Negative minds tend to unwind

Find yourself and be second to none

Be LION HEART

Be the power of one

A New Hope

Shades of yesterday

Still perpetrate the ever curious mind

Water running through old hands

As wise faces toast to every sunrise

See the best dressed

Draw eyes that frown

Or be the scorns absolution

A fairy dream built to give

The ever rising imagination

Room to become

Are we fickle like the small tree

With no fig shall grow

No robin to perch on our head

Life ever be the temptress

Aquire days to imprint old ways

That at times be so delicate or decayed

City of Lost Children

The turning hand on tables of ritual

Flaunting stick of crow bone with feet

Our safe haven in desp spiritual

World turns dark and is closing

This harmony will thaw what is frozen

Spin with ribbons of red roses

Each note invokes a deep thought

Shall I gift thee times fable

Lost hands never turn in heavy sand

Fall deep underneath the watchful cat

Hybrid entity for no vanity be needed

Secret mirrors the seers can peer through

Like looking at an ocean captured in glass

Chance meetings of season greetings

Once in year do they dance with manifestation

In the forest where creatures glare with malice

Wear their antlers as they drink from the chalice

Bold men speak words assumed heaven sent

Life be more then a shiny diamond

Don’t let the young be lost to worlds edge

Never we forget as a new light beckons

Taste the salty air our mighty Captain

Sail to unveil the city of lost children

Mirrored Imperfections

Perfections in small moments

May they hold us

Through our dark times

Finding beauty of life

In simple smiles

Do not put yourself on trial

You are the definition of perfection

Never yield to any altered suggestion

Be the space in your happy place

Where we find ourselves at peaceful space

Life is collecting moments

Throw it away or own it.

Pleasant Places

Pleasing pleasantries

Do I ask the disarray

Of life and love

A slight bow

With slanted gaze

For if I was to dance

And ask the air to return my dream

An apology carries a feather

Glorious trade I dare say

Have this my dearest sky

A dream upon no vison seen

Fly my kite to reach end times

Bravest man to ask open skies

Kindest night O heavenly sight

Be my strength as I leave space and time

Shall I lead the way

For the first step is with the right

Be it a tuxedo with no bow tie

Or the tango of life

Family Ties

Family ties be the ribbon of suprise

That wraps us to a happy bow tie

Look to the sea of brown eyes

A rare treat for the punctual of precious time

What a gift to recieve on ones birthday

Generational splendour on display

Sight forever held in her mind

Reasons we fight to survive not hard to find

Laughing with tales so tall

Echoe through life for us all

With small quandary to squabble

For Mother it be no trouble

Fateful stares from eyes that no one dare

No price could ever trade or borrow

This love we surround ourselves with

Through all of life today and tomorrow

We send this love to those who rest and wait for us

As they too join us in grand smiles

Eat well this day for it is your day

Queen for a lifetime

The reason if ever needed be present

All around you is the power of presence

Love is Life

Life is Love

Family be the reason to never notice the difference

A Mothers Labour

Basins to wash our hands for we must wash, wash, wash

Clean ourselves from days of toil and moving soil

Mother calls us to the table of silence

A prayer of thanks to all that care to hear

I look with baron eyes at empty plates that stare

They show us a sad face

Mother does not care at all

For we must finish what we have and give thanks

So tomorrow help may find us

Time to wash our plates and clean around mother

For she remains ever still and silent be lost words

Mother doesn’t move, doesn’t breath, ever so still

She left us long ago when winter was warmer

The voice she used an echo no more

Back to work on breaking the earth

When is she returning to hold us stronger

Forgive me Mother dearest

Our best is yet to be near us

I will make you beautiful once again

When brother returns with light so we may mend

The dark cloak speaks in foul tongue

Of how we failed and Mother comes undone

Not alive nor dead be them

Just persecution for our labour in destitution
