My heart can bear no more
The evil torments of black widows
Who wish to kiss you once
Then to devour your very soul
Beware these ones, who wish you buried
Who among you has an open heart?
I shall invite you to wipe a tear
An embrace
Would cure the hardships, we all endure
Alas the deceptions, make love so unsure
If you wish my heart, as a sacrifice
What have you, to offer in return?
Other than sweet dates & Palms, and silly words?
Go away, ride into the night
Fairy tales I myself can write
The mirage of promises never kept
False images have turned smiles to ice
So if you seek to share your soul
Have in hand, your heart to sleep
So passions will make our bond so deep
If you see not wisdom within these words
Then I must say don’t be so absurd
Silence has killed many a dream
Stay away from my heart
Alone
I'll have my coffee, no sugar no cream
Love, a fragile alchemy, we crave,
While ignorance, a silent hunger, eats.
Anger, a serpent in the veins, enslaves,
And yesterday's grief still stains the sheets.
Judgment, a rust upon the gilded cage,
Corrodes the spirit, slowly, piece by piece.
We chase the phantom on life's turning page,
Seeking solace where there is no peace.
Let today not slip, a wasted tear,
But breathe it in, the bitter and the sweet.
Let not fear hold us hostage in this sphere,
For time is swift, a memory's fleeting heat.
A new dawn will arrive, the suns embrace,
So seek the beauty in this time and space,
And find your own light in lifes great and wondrous race.
My heart is brimming with an endless flow of grief.
And my soul has already been deeply shattered out.
Even short bursts of breathing are rather tough.
My sobs have merged into steady tears streaming out.
Desperate to pay respects to the dead at their tomb.
And weep for hours at graves of ones I embrace.
Particularly when you share the same womb.
I'm trying to thrive as I'll never heed your face.
When one sheds a tear, some wisdom is revealed.
I am at ease knowing you are in the heavenly place.
I will succeed and overcome adversity ahead.
When death comes for me, we'll meet face to face.

Painting ~ Return of the Prodigal ~ Il Guercino
Returning from the land of my rebellion,
in rags that reek of pigs and sweat and mud.
Now penniless, I’ve been a hell-bent hellion,
wasting the fortune of my flesh and blood.
But now considering my distant father;
how could I dare to think he’ll have me back?
I’ll plead to serve as slave and be no bother;
even his hired workers have no lack.
I journey home rehearsing all I’ve done:
“Father, I’ve sinned against heaven and you –
No longer worthy to be called your son.”
My voice goes numb when home comes into view.
My fears fly when I see my father’s face
and weep in his forgiving, kind embrace.

Lately, I keep slipping back into
memories past, looking at the void
in my broken heart,
Tears falling uncontrollably like a
downpour of rain,
Sadly, they didn't ease the heartache
or the pain,
Determined to draw the line here
and now, to write a new chapter and
make a fresh start.
I will continue with the process to
heal and mend,
So that in the future, there won’t be
a need to pretend,
Armed with a page of positive words
to encourage the dwindling flame back
into a roaring fire,
And to convince both heart and soul
to renew their zest for passion and
desire.
I will hold on to Faith as the dark
shadows fade from the past,
And as a new spirit love will find me
again and I will embrace new joys with
excitement for as long as they last.

Snowflakes caress my cheek
Sugary sweet, like a candy treat
Oh, so enchanting
Mesmerizing
Snow falls soft and tender
Like the whisper
Of the softest
Feather
Snowflakes kiss the
Naked branches
Lingering on firs
With affection
Snow lies glistening
Like beautiful angels
Falling around me
A spiritual balm
Snowflakes, liquid
A graceful prayer
Breathing laughter
Inspiring smiles
Snow bleeds hope
Through the spruce
Emerald shadows
In hues of melodies
Snowflakes, dreamy
Dancing through clouds
Growing more fluid
As they sigh to the ground
Snow so brilliant
It enlivens the heart
With kind edges
Bouncing on the thoughts
Snowflakes embrace me
With sincerity and truth
Gliding on the air
Like a sense of splendor – God’s music!
Snow falls on the mountains
Covers the whole world
In a white blanket so indulgent
It shouts through the silence
Snowflakes glimmer
Like starlight and fireflies
Rushing toward the skies
With a breathtaking feeling
Snow roams the soul
Relaying all that is good
From murmurs of dreams
Discovered on the angel’s wings
Snowflakes break through
Peace, joy and faith
Touching the crackling fires
With an intimate light
Snow rides the breeze
With rumors of blessings
Praising all the ways
God has hallowed our realms
Snowflakes are alive
Bleaching the entire lives
Of those who take the time
To touch them as they fly by
Snow is the calm, cool approval
Of this season we call Winter
As it races through our minds
Shimmering as bright as diamonds
Snowflakes ride the twists and turns
Of angelic flights who have come
To remind us that we can still feel
Like a child on Christmas morn
Snow, so elegant as it flows
Across my thoughts, through my soul
To keep my mind discerning
The need to love God’s handiwork!
B Bewildered the Little Prince landed on Earth
S Surveyed the drought amongst plentiful riches
I Ignored the facades and gave earthlings a rose
X Xenial embrace warm welcoming and hospitable
O On the surface he seemed to be an outlandish soul
N Native of a foreign Universe that was called Love
E Enigmatic mysterious with a Three Petalled Flower
T The Turkish Astronomer married the Lamplighter
W Wedded they were under a Baobab Tree’s canopy
O Oblivious of haters they tied hands and good fortune
F From now on luminescent like Aladdin the cave gave way
O On its way to handing over the torch of naked freedom
R Relieved from oppression of thoughts action and feelings
E Elephant doffed his hat to applause of Boa Constrictor
V Vigorous in his passion he pulled the mask from our eyes
E Enter at you own peril if you dare to see the light of the truth
R Risk is not for the faint hearted but darkness not a good choice

B 6 1 2 is the name of Little Prince’s planet
May it live Forever in our hearts and narration
Xenial stands for the ancient Greek concept of hospitality
between hosts and guests from different cultures
Its light keeps the flame burning in my heart,
Its warmth bids me to embrace foggy dawns
And its very name
Allows me to dance even during rainy days
Without it,
Pray, what would we have turned into
Without its shine upon our breath,
If not,
Into empty oceans devoid of marine life,
Or into silent forests deprived of birds' songs
Or even into deaf people hearing not all around us,
Music, pure and celestial, emanating from
The realm of angels!
Hope is the most powerful force in the universe
And for it to be revered,
I summon my muse,
To reward me with a vision of its glory
As it pulses in the very core of our existence,
Since it is that which we all carry in us
As our blessed crown,
And it is that which we use
To work out spells and charms in our daily life!
Hope is my most precious jewel,
A gem brought forth to me
By a determined lover having crossed seas
And climbed mountains
Just to prove his love to me!
And for it to keep burning,
I shall read this verse out loud to the messenger of love,
The moon, knowing that it shall scatter my words
Everywhere in the cosmos!

I hear the trumpet, its resounding blast drawing near,
The King approaches, nothing in this world remains as clear.
The stage is set, as the grand finale of time unfolds,
Children of God, in jubilant chorus, homeward bound, behold.
We’ll stand, uplifted, offering praises to our eternal King,
Gathered ‘round His throne, His majesty and glory we’ll sing.
Never shall I be alone, for His presence surrounds me,
In awe, I’ll cast my crown, humbled, at the feet of Jesus, we’ll see.
Oh, the joy that awaits, in that heavenly abode,
Where pain and sorrow cease, replaced with everlasting love bestowed.
Every tear, every trial, transformed into eternal delight,
As we bask in the radiance of His all-consuming light.
No longer shall we wander, in this earthly realm confined,
But in the perfect presence of our Savior, forever entwined.
Unfathomable love and peace, abounding without end,
In the embrace of our Redeemer, eternity we’ll spend.
So, let the trumpet resound, its melody ringing loud and clear,
for the King is coming, and nothing shall remain as it appears.
We’ll stand, we’ll give God praise, with hearts forever ablaze,
casting our crowns at the feet of Jesus, lost in eternal amaze.
(Dedication: For Eva A Deverell)

Truth has a way to shine a light,
Opt thus to see what yet may be.
Each strand a play and glimpse of sight,
Voice in clear spree can set soul free;
Ask curious touch to show you how.
Aim to just know the path you take:
Dream offers much right here and now,
Etch a fine show with what you make;
Vouch for beauty as wonder starts,
Embrace sure change in your life quest;
Reach poise savvy with a warm heart,
Enjoy the strange in journey fest;
Live with pure grace the face you own,
Love floods your space with parts unknown.
