Jealousy : a Vicious Seed

In the soil of trust
Once a seed was sown
Water of sweat
Sunshine of love 
Warmth of care
Openness of air
A sapling was born
The beginning of a bond 
But fate played along
A saltation was brought 
Gloomy clouds took hold 
Heavy tears to behold
The once calm air 
Carried whispers of betrayal
Now a vicious seed was sown 
Trust sucking parasite was born 
It left the soil barren 
The end of a beautiful bond 
The end of a beautiful bond

Premium Member After the Funeral

After The Funeral

Tim had found his place after the party. Faring well in his urn he waited to be scattered. Compartmentalised, fragmented and united into two batches of memories.

Indian Ocean
Passionate love on beaches
Drift wood adventures

His friends and family celebrated his life. Lit a fire, gathered smoke and cherished what pastures had given them. Salutation, saltation and salt on sad skin. They rejoiced in ambivalent moments of loss and beginning. That was the easy bit. But Tim had always been eccentric and maybe the waves were too smooth on their own. Easy had not been his domain. Always up to challenges and arduous paths, het set a task even in death. ‘Go tell it on the mountain’.

Climb Mount Everest
Fresh air healthy exercise
Dust sprinkled on snow

Would his children rise up to the dare and defiance? Could they respect final wishes? Was it one step too far? Had it been jest and on whom was the joke? Strides upon strides they stumbled to the top of the world. Caressed their blisters and bridged ascent in meaning and closure.

Serene harmony
Stunning demise flying high
Carbon clouds condensed


Premium Member Ripped Ripples

Ripped Ripples
	
When she dived off the bridge ripples broke free from the surface

     Her throbbing heart had thumped a pounding shiver into darkness

          Concentric circles brought a mirror image to the bottom of the river

               Tampered with undulations and quivers’ hesitation now absolved

          Strafed yet scarfed she placed layer upon layer into a slumbering swirl

     One never jumps into the same river twice she pondered as she

Cherished the everlasting moment of lonely saltation with no return
