My ego rising tall from lowly lay,
I often feel: world warms up to my song
And plays a second fiddle in my play,
I lead a vain orchestra all day long.
But evening twilight setting in, I brood,
Contemplate and begin at last to see
Me in misty shadowy solitude—
Oh, I'm no more than a droplet in sea.
The world's now bathed in radiance all new,
Beauty and bliss welling up from within,
And a window emerges with a view
That lets me see a world not before seen.
Man as a mere point in infinity,
He’s looked as a faceless nonentity. ______________________________________________

"In My Heart"
In my heart
the dark and light
In my mind
freedom rides
A glossary
of worlds
where white prayer books
long shelved are recalcitrant doves
held in the palms
rosaries bleed a
different meaning
when lips kiss beads
not real feeling
just words
repetitive, learn'ed
blow fish swimming
cajoling
knees kneeling
confessional
inward spun, reeling
In my heart
the dark and light
In my mind
freedom rides
I wait in the grace
of fire
ignited by light
from the past
a funeral pyre
set sail
cast away on tears
that make up
The Ocean
each droplet
a world
An Ode, divine devotion
salty diamonds are sinking like pearls
into the Deep
wisdom to be found
hidden amongst
more than all the grains of sand
in the Ocean
and all the stars
in the Sky
the heart of a mother
the mind of a girl
deep blue narcissus
reflections in your saltwater
are pearls ;
In my heart
the dark and light
in my mind
freedom rides
I wait in the grace
of fire
ignited by light
from the past
In my heart
the dark and light
in my mind
freedom rides

I stare in to the eyes of darkness
Hypnotized by fear
And it is the depth that gets me
Magnetic pull is in the air
I see a black hole sitting
At the edge of milky way
Like a sneaky predator
Waiting for a pray
Ripples going down in circles
Like majestic curved stairs
Of the gothic palace
Suck me in and swallow
Like a trapped lonely bird
I try to escape
But it is too late
I am in the whirlwind
Of fiery descend
Breathing choky sulfur
The death scent
I am falling down
Accelerating
Like a heavy stone
Cast down the hill
By a raging storm
And I melt in the mist
Of primal icy hail
The wind in my ears
Sings a song of love
And scattered petals
Of intoxicating
Blooming flowers
Land on my eyes
So I can’t see the pastel
Frozen water lilies
Framing the picture
Of the beautiful world
That I knew before
Which no longer exists
It was consumed by desire
To open the secret doors
And explore
In the depth of psyche
I still see the image
Of the world that I loved
I try to etch it in my heart
So I can have it
In my soul frozen
In a small droplet of ice
When I no longer am
I always wanted to know
The soul of darkness
So that I could throw
It far away into the
Distant murky madness
Of abandoned world
Opening the windows
Of a lonely soul
That was trying to escape
The prison of its own
Desire to know
The shadows seem to shift in the breeze
And the trees begin to dance
My frantic footsteps pound pavement
As the first drops begin to fall
I find shelter at the bus stop
Looking out into the gray world
Rain fills my ears in a rhythmic pattern
I'm frustrated but at peace
Traffic lights shimmer on street corner sidewalks
There's a distant crash of thunder
Followed by a flash of light in the clouds
And the bus shelter rattles
The world is both familiar and alien
I'm surrounded by thousands
But I could also be the last person alive
With my solemn expression
Minutes tick by agonizingly slow
But eventually the thunderstorm passes by
And the rain meanders to a sprinkle
Leaving a glistening world of ghost lights
The blushing sun finally peeks out
And a beautiful rainbow blossoms
Over the horizon in stark contrast to the gray
Perhaps a love more profound than I've ever known
People begin to appear as if awakening from hibernation
And my gray world explodes with light and exuberance
As if my melancholy experience was but a dream
With courage I step out of the shelter
A single droplet drops onto the tip of my nose
But it's enough to paint a smile on my lips
The world of gray is finally gone
And in my heart I know I have become fearless
Like a volcanic deluge
a noble golden amber and ruby
exotic lunar mirror
hangs suspended in the horizon.
Attractive and inviting
it decorates the heavens
worlds necessity
warming the ground
and baking our skin
giving light and life
enhancing each fragrant morning bud.
Radiant its feisty angry glow
ignites the sky
pouring trillions of bright reflections
to dance and swirl upon our waters
seas rippling calm or waves crashing down
each droplet becomes perfect diamond.
An exquisite performance
mind consuming until
silhouette dissolves days fever
and interrupts delight
for Earth natural satellite
moon to take centre stage.
Our sun departs
but never repents
nor forgets to return
to tender our world
once more.

Treasures of the Spider
Spider!
Beware of
the night feeder.
Tiny bat wings, swifter,
than the absence
of light, silent, merciless
terror.
By morning,
I survey the remnants
of your web, rent and empty
of you, just tiny whispers
of your once, existence.
Your uneaten prey,
all neatly wrapped
and dangling-
as a reminder
of all
that we
can't take to heaven
Suzanne Delaney
Written for a Golden Orb spider I
named Spideress.
See note - ScientificName: Nephila maculata
The golden orb weavers are one of the largest spiders. Their webs can be found hanging off sign posts, in or between trees and can even be spotted driving 100 km/h in a vehicle. The females can measure up to 45 mm while the smaller males measure only 6 mm. The male is often found in the web of his girl friend. Beside the male and the female boarders resides in the web. They are called quicksilver, dewdrop or droplet spider because their silvery body shines like drops of water in the sun.
Their webs stretch to a diameter of one meter between trees. It is easy to accidentally walk straight into one as they sit in the middle of their web.
It belongs to the golden orb weaver family, which is why its silk is yellow, and this silk is the strongest of any spider. Sometimes small birds or bats get caught in it
L ow clouds droop as she sits on rumpled gown
O aths of pale secrets falling through ravaged sleeves
S omber cheeks line a hollowed tract, cast down
T iredness all around; steep as barb- wired leaves.
T ainted droplet hides on eyelid’s corner
E ncasing her passages streaked with pain,
A s black stars perch on withered flowers
R eflecting shadows ruptured, glimpses wane.
S ilently her thoughts prick sparse winds, to blow
O pening dam of jarred beats from love’s past haze;
B eyond snuffed wails, lost tear plunges full flow
S ullen as thorns, she weeps in requiem sways.
Black-Eyed Susan's Lost Contest
Earth’s natural gemstones thunder down
Miriards of multi sized scattered diamonds tumbling
trained jewels, beads, roll down roof glazing
Tiny shards of light begin to bounce, dance and reflect magnificantly
At first twinkles of days sunlight peep from behind storm clouds
Enters sunrise, day breaks
Vast darkness of night-times tears quickly disperse
evaporating to the brighter warmer climate
Nature’s tears are quickly dried
Outside still few mirrors remain reflecting the skies and beauty
Besides these little basins of wonder
patchy shadowed pavements still damp retract
As temperatures rise I recollect musing over shrinage of moisture
Just as the tides retrace their steps back to the oceans
But who ever sees their journey thereafter
The cycle of life continues whether we notice or not
So every droplet wasted counts
As climates change so must we
Earth and sea compositions alter
It’s down to us to make a difference
To help preserve and protect the living species
and precious commodities we need for every day living
before these treasures are lost, gone from our world altogether
Richer or poorer are we crumbling our planet
At the cost of bling we run down waste holes
Or leave to trail the land around us
Are we throwing our futures away
Should we not be evaluating the cost of new things precious
The waters of life, catch them if you can
Earths natural gemstones thunder down
Walk a while with me
Keep love company
Talk with faithful eyes
Listen to my sighs
Chalk a simple tale
Go beyond a sale
~~~~~~~~~
My story seeds proof
Love speaks of wise truth
My beauty now springs
In a million things
My love makes you whole
Body, mind and soul
~~~~~~~~~
Dear child of my heart
My love now imparts
Dear lover of mine
Taste bliss most divine
Dear droplet of joy
Come seek my employ
~~~~~~~~~
Seek me in your sighs
Here I take you high
Know me in your breath
Live beyond mere death
Find me in your dreams
Love delivers streams
~~~~~~~~~
Man and woman here
Seek true love sincere
Rise above your flesh
Realise glimpse and flash
Come home now to me
Know that truth sets free
~~~~~~~~~
Day by day I wait
For you at heart's gate
Night by night you sleep
Fond love calls most deep
Time and space I voice
Spread love in sure poise
~~~~~~~~~
Listen to me here
Watch grace fill your spheres
On earthly shores find
A way back in signs
My heart awaits man
Come back to attend
~~~~~~~~~

Singapore
Whispers through her eyes
Often gazes the skimmers in twilight
More overly,
more mesmerized as her heart was in delight
She cupped the melodies, through the true sights
All what she whispered, all what the heart hides
the beautious bell, the nightingale dwells in ride
the classiness she carried through the presence
She softly bamboozled Wrath with inner elegance
the spring danced through her fragrance
and lives with her consistency and transparency
the mountains slipped after her magnificence
the oceans freezed after her resplendence
from where she came,
the heaven for sure, the rose of Eden's garden
the droplet blinks in sunlight, the swings of rainbow
the profound pearl, the morning whisper
how did I glorify her glory?
how did I propose her preposterous grip?
she rumored, the world rumored
She caved, the world caved
Her lips smudge, her cheek’s energies,
the entrance to moonlight muse, slightly fused
up to the seven stars, she never swirled a reduced
beyond bitterness of society, she grasp the loveliness
the melody of solence, the voice of innocence
forever and forever deep dancing delight
She is named as Ella, the goddess of light.
