United in isolated collectivity,
Standing erect for reflective solidarity,
Sited to enable individuality,
Symbolising the dead, the loss in totality.

So many damaged people, with so much to remind,
There are tear-laden memories for those left behind.
A tangible grief can...

I just love the Christmas tree which we welcome into our homes, 
Symbolising nature, the natural, challenging our views and roams;
Settling in our cosy living rooms, the empire of many, each of us, 
Independent, not...

In a world of love I was befittingly born,
A time of respect and appreciation;
In one instinct I became destitute,
With one wrong step I fell into depreciation.

It had nothing to do with love or hate,
Money matters...

The centre of the wedding ring has seen some of the greatest fights
Set off by the wedding bells
Shiny and sparkling, its aesthetics deceiving
By invitation only, 
The contestants are lovers, often newlyweds
Candidates for eternal love and...

The colour red has much meaning
it reveals so much energy to express
providing a passion that knows no end
action in the battlefield to victory no less

The lady who's young and so attractive
wears that red outfit makes...

Blackened. Charred.
Are the blossoms of autumn's acclaimed abundance
No longer dance they in vivid wonderance,
Singed by the frigid frost,
Stand they forlorn and lost.

Barren. Desolate.
Stand the trees.
Marooned in an island of dry leaves.
Wracked by glacial winds
As deep...

Star of David 
The central sun
Unconditional love
Faulting no one

Symbolising thus
Union of polarities
Benign bliss explosion
Climax in continuity 

Unlike other chakras
Anahata is special
Wherein love throbs
Transmission radial

Imposing no condition
Heart has no blockage
Immune to ego assault
Allows all safe passage...

SHADOWS

 briefly
appear
 almost disengage
 draining away

a cloudy
evening
at
first glance

a
 setting
a gesture
an
immersive
  spectacle
a threshold
is crossed
in the
silence
in the
lingering
 shadow

grief
entering
  symbolising
&accessible
then
 loses itself
in
light

Your charming verbalising
Your charming whispering
Your charming smiling
Your charming dancing
All are in the train of my dreams.
And they always catching me like fire
Always making my slumber be placid,
Always baking a life without vain,
Always calling my name...

Scratching their heads 
They look at me
Am I a tree stump
Am I a grotesque face
Inside I am  laughing
I know what I am.

Am a freak of nature
Plus the imaginative mind
Of my master
Stand back 
see the...

Wreath ring of flowers holding hand-in-hand
Hands in circular unity symbolising eternity 
Eternal is belief in Trinity, Christianity and Christ
Christ a Messiah rising from dead absolving sins

Sins mounting, hoping Christ to descend from Heaven 
Heaven like...

A wonderful sight to behold.
Your grandeur is more
Than meets the eye.

From absolutely spectacular bloom
Until you've fallen in grace
Meeting earth, withering 
Like snow with an ebb
And flow of gentle breezes.

Symbolising life;
Powerful, exhilarating, sublime 
Yet short lived.
Reminding...

A speckle of green,
In a vast sea of concrete,
Quite an enchanting scene,
To the eyes a visual treat.

Through a crack in the pavement,
Slowly rises a tiny weed,
Free from all enslavement,
One in a million of its breed.

When...

It is always the same dream
You and I by the lakeside, watching the sun set
In silence and our bare feet feeling the stream
The fading sun closing a chapter hard to forget

It is always a cloudy...

We
label
everything,
symbolising
feelings in our mind,
height of our delusion,
of which we are ignorant 
being in deep hypnotic trance,
a disease, for which stillness the cure,
a path upon which only the pure tread.

Oh hermit! Use mind as an instrument.
Our...
