IDYLLIC
"Having grown up in an idyllic village, I consider myself as blessed. I was rid of all rigid formalities of urban living. Enjoyed the artless innocence of countryfolks, breathed fresh air, occasionally pranced through wilderness, talking to wildflowers and butterflies" - By Poet
There’s nothing like the lovely rustic charm,
Sent out by far flung lush...

The gold being sought~
The answer's presence
in the field of separation
is fools gold
Unless gleaming as nothing~~...

Dear Lady of ShalottInspired by The Lady of Shalott by John William Waterhouse
Dear Lady of Shalott, I gaze at thee,
and beauties before me, I count three
in your time and place, remote.
First, the beauty of nature’s scheme
and lush expanse of a wild stream.
You’re lost in some sad river dream,
on your little boat.
And, yes, this gorgeous tapestry,
and candles...

Long time ComingSunbreaks pierce the clouds of gray,
Genuine happiness finds its way,
After shadows stretched like endless night,
Light spills in, and my heart takes flight.
For so long, joy was a distant hum,
Lost in sorrow's weight, in darkness numb,
But now a warmth begins to seep,
Through cracks in walls where pain did creep.
Smiles feel foreign, yet welcoming like they belong,
Like...

Sunshine Invasionred heart of morning
guilty shadows fled like dreams
scattering moonbeams
Blue jay on green rose
caressed by gold creeping heat
petals and concrete
saffron veiled dancers
of every scent and color
city sun culture
pearly paths faded
plum day's grown a bit older
sunshine's grown bolder

Idyllic
Rural scenes and views from the countryside
warm my heart as I watch the hills and tide.
Green pastures, bubbling brooks, blooming meadows
blend with elegant sunflower and rose.
Quaint cottages underneath the clear blue skies
delight my mind and charm my sparkling eyes.
The shepherds with their flocks echo their voice
far from the complex urban, modern noise.
This place features lush...

Black beautyRich as earth’s deepest soil,
Your melanin glows in silent pride
A tapestry of dusk and dawn,
Each shade a story woven in light.
Your smile breaks like sunrise,
Casting warmth across the world;
Your eyes hold galaxies of hope,
Sparkling with unspoken dreams.
In every curl and coil you carry grace,
A crown of nature’s own design;
Your silhouette sings of strength untold,
A dance...

Behind her eyes
Scratches all over my body,
Pouring into the glass of wine that spilled over my wound,
Counting on my fingers, the night terrors,
Scrambling to find the door where my heart belongs.

Death by jealousyThey say beauty is in the eye of the beholder
That our differences make it subjective
But when it comes to black beauty
We are the blueprint
And objectively you can't argue with architecture
Especially when we've seen the beauty of its structure
You can't say you hate our skin
Then paint your skin our colour
Whilst simultaneously discriminate...

My Child Of Light PoemYou are a Child of light, my love.
born in shadow, but you became the sun.
Levitated like an immortal, from the captivated grounds
grew as a rose in the concrete cracks of the bloody cold streets
You are a Child of Light, my angel
torn from the roots that were interwined in your veins
The devil played its riddles, but...

DIVINE DIVERSIONSThe devil couldn’t reach me,
so he sent diversions in the form I desired most.
He wrapped lies in laughter,
gave them cute faces,
glittered them up like gold.
And I forgot, sometimes a wound wears jewels,
sometimes danger looks like everything you ever prayed for.
So I fell for it.
I wasn’t the sun in their day, nor the star in their...
