A Kiss In the Dark

Blinded and saving the love talk in the dark
In a sensuous connection came a spark
An active mind bee-lined for a kiss
Shilly-shally bemused as lass remarks
Lips to nose in a clear view face, turns dark.

Dream Lover

Like it or not it is the best place to be in the MORNING.

The mimosa; often where I did meet MOURINE.

Pretty thing, she caught me with her charm as she danced the "HOLA"

In a trance, her cold lips whispered in my ear "DARLING"

Gosh 'twas just a dream stolen by the vapid noise of the STARLING.

Under This Same Tree

It was here that we met.
                      In monism hearts melt.
                   here is where you where born.
                     So young but owner of all trees
                   Beneath this tree kins came and go
                      Taught to embrace and to rule; 
                   To repel and to conquer. 
                      Nature's at your call


                   Then they came;
                       They they forged gold masks.
                   Pretty looking yet so vile beneath.
                       As eye openers they came
                    But what we saw where shadows
                       Thus we didn't see at all
                    As rights lost, branches fell from this tree
                       Yet so strong the trunk remained
                      
                   So embrace, repel, elope... your choice 
                       Water passed before realization 
                   Yet we realize a great mind fought
                        In the name of Mandela he came
                   A true Lamp light in our lost journey
                        He taught us to love and unite... a true monist
                   We will stand side by side 
                        Water and nurture this leaveless trunk
                   A day will come when it would rise again
                        Flourish in fruits and blossom in flowers
                   Only a bright future can fulfill the the past

                                    It was under this tree it began
                                    And it will remain under this same tree.

Feelings

Alot of feelxs I get these days.

The peace when I pray

The smile when its you

The fear of going astray

And of course the back breaking desire to make you stay.

Atonement

Youngest of all she went unnoticed.
 So beautifully cultured but shy a motive.

  So talented, so loved;
   And above her the beaut world evolved.

     To Cecilia and Robbie 'twas their spring.
       But with Robbie little Tallis hoped a ring.
 
        Then came the industrious Marshall so virile.
          So sharp in charisma but in deeds so vile.

            little Tallis knew him a hoax.
             But out of this notion her Schizophrenic mind coax.

              Yet love unfold for Ceci and Robbie 'twas vanquished
                And in perishing indeed reputation tarnished.

                  Aye was this right of little Tallis?
                    Nope cos she got it all amiss.

                      With this couple she never again got a moment
                         So she wrote her fiction in atonement.
                                                                                    
                                                                                                
Dedicated to the movie Atonement ( by Joe Wright).
 Please read about atonement and write about it. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atonement_%28film%29)

Way Too Far

WAY TOO FAR
A world of death un-minatory
Having non-a-soul harboring peasantry
Every material not on grounds being monetary
See wars’ presence at a vote minority
leaving every being in perfect harmony
If intellectuality’s true course is an awared society

Love being so truthfully lovely
So secured is every party
And moments together is divine worthy
With first kisses always at heart
So old memories to forget then hard
While coitus strives no man mad
Hence only rendering love precious the time they had
But not a clue true to day life
cos all said is to the world a lie
                                             Ako N. Henshaw

Night Grief

Needless to cry.
My days are dry.

Those of shine are long gone. 
now am left alone to mourn.

If I had eyes I would have seen.
But days like this are unforeseen.

She came so lovely and smart.
Blindly to me only a tat.

Others cautioned; but to me they Pseud and pry.
Yet now each night I grief in sly.

Then she weren't better than a moth.
But in present days I see her worth.
 
Harbor those feelings you see in those eyes.
But you let it go....; that's exactly when you realize.

A Day Out

All days shaped to it's activities
Bored says the cabin of lodge
Signals wanes no distress call for happiness
Farther amidst green shades hornbills call
And "hey" asuaging the situation Peter utters
"we go for a walk" Astounding to the earing Paul
"The jungle breeds monsters"
Of course these words came from a faint heart
"but we got each others backs"
From the demure Paige, hath her mind on the trip
But all talk shows kept me puzzled
The waning moon already clear to my eyes
"We start a fire, make babecue and share stories"
Saving the day my idea won in the blackout
"AH! what a day out".

Perfections1

In the very first start it sounded sweet.
Cool! cool! it didn't went every day,
events unfolded as we bridged time across.
I saw it came to a perfection but was it......
Now the tides have changed,
The pretty, beautiful, and came a price
One which an angel couldn't have.
Hairs stood at ends waking every day....
See the same face at dull lights.
Kiss lips of a kind through time bedeviled me....
Waters parade the bridges at my detriments
so it's i call marriage in time
at the very fist start 'twas sweet
but a contempt view 
go for perfection and pray for redemption.....

Gone Jullie

Say me well to Venus,
Moribund lights shines upon us.
In the eyes of meager Love now sees us.
As an angel to his wings was I to you.
A blend in molten that of gold and diamond;
Though a combination, now a matt face in response.

Who is she truthfully.
She stays and calls herself Jullie.
All angels amused in view of a paragon.
Save a bemused man at sight.
What fresh berry taste from thy lips.
A pumpkin shape has her hips
And imagine a tight situation in crimson light

So nice sounding it was pellucid
Ebbs and flows came in time.
Together of him we bore not in mind.
Move on! Yes Move on in his path.
Tears and all lone me is his wrath.

A new berry lips to taste.
Please Jullie let it go in haste
Your lips! Oh your lips seeming so now transparent.
Reason light in mind with you as a wraith.
Save it in all the hates	
In he that took you away named Hades.
I sang quiet and mood remorsefully.
Because us………We’re Gone Jullie!!!!
