Tiaua M Ioane Poet Sonnet

To Moses a Very Special Friend

A child of the sun, coldness she knew 
not.
But the heat of the moment, 
dependent
always uneasy but of passion, 
resplendent.
The sun in setting, a lady she was 
not.

A flower to compare but a rose inapt.
More an orchid, a beauty of the 
tropics.
Or a frangipani, a temptation in her 
frolics.
Chimera of the sun, at night a 
woman entrap.

Loving, generous but of men she had 
flaws.
Our rock in troubles, our source of 
muscles.
Joy and laughter in her weird world 
of tussles.
But hurt her friends, a tigress with 
claws.

Rest in peace beautiful Rina, our 
handsome Moses.
A beloved child of the sun, who loved 
roses.
