Best Curtal Sonnet Poems

The weight of old age increases with time,
dragging spirits down a depressive hole.
And taking pills, prescribed to ease your pain,
the last years are anything but sublime.
You question if believing in a soul,
is vain.

You squirrel away cash you'll never spend
just in case hard times should show...

The voyage long, begun at dawn, and then
the winged beast of metal rolls wheels to ground,
loved ones, inside and out, bear only grins,
and recount old tales of "remember whens?"
The hours of waiting fast recede, unwound,
as passengers embrace their long lost kin,
they grab their bags, head...

In my eyes a canopy of sunshine,
melancholy days can make it glisten;
Above the darkness crazy as it sounds,
the choice to be buoyant is always mine;
Even when I feel I need permission,

Let every ounce of that self doubt dissolve 
put...

I drown within your most beautiful eyes,
through wonderful visions of precious love.
What visions I shall come to visualised,
come my beloved to Heaven above.
Sapphire eyes do become my paradise,
I now join your dreams, my beautiful dove.

I now swim within your lagoons of blue,
entranced by the...

One day there walked into the little store
which at the age of sixteen I worked at
a gorgeous boy. I must have dropped my jaw!

Like a Prince Charming – someone to adore -
was that wonderful dark-eyed young man that
I saw!

I pinched myself because it seemed unreal
that...

A snatch of sound is carried by the wind,
a delicate and solitary note.
There at the end, the pitch just slightly bends;
it rises for an instance as it floats.
So lovely, it is over far too soon -
and then, a second, similar delight!
The chorus brings a lump...

Comes the inevitable moment to decide at last
Whether to stay or go; whether to love or hate
Whether to stand aside or bravely engage issues
To defy the odds and stand proud before the mast
To be late or early, to depend on timorous fate
Heart ripped asunder over...

The shower out there fully clothed in snow,
An a.m. stays, so will I remember —       
A kiss let go in cold air, heaven white — 
The very look of you through aspen boughs,
How midnight blew while icicles scattered —...

Dreams and Reality

I met her in the Book-Fair, three days the fair lasted
And she was spotted on all days, browsing and buying my books
Eyeing me without talking; I could read her mind in her looks
As the tip of her lip touched my book cover image....

The autumn leaves, like a fiery blaze
Blows across the forest in the fall breeze 
Leaves on the ground, the woods is like a maze.
Birds glide from tree to tree with ease, 
Gathering sticks and leaves to build their nest
The rattle of the leaves and song...

I reach for you.... With my hand to feel your peace

I reach for you. .. With a heavy heart then blessed with your love

sitting in the shade of a palm tree 
came here seeking for answers 
from modern cities,I flee 
to the bosom of my ancestors  
up to the blue bed,rising my dusted eye 
on the horizon to the west 
to the shining sun where it lie...
