They bake in the sun
until their skin is a blueish black
their stomach mimicking the moon
flour, yeast, water, almost a bread makes
they, are the salt of the earth.

Encompassed by his perfect love
I feel no consternation.
Unearthliness draws thoughts above,
Release from condemnation.
In reverence I gaze in awe
And apathy shall reign no more
For predilection favours adoration.

SPIRITUAL LOVE 


There is now no condemnation, 

We are encompassed by His love, 

No need for dire consternation, 

Hold Him in reverence above, 

His unearthliness, my reason,

For apathy, there's no season,

It's predilection for His dove.

ENCOMPASSED by shadows...of the trees 
In my mind...CONSTERNATION awakens me 
My PREDILECTION... of a midnights breeze 
APATHY invades...let's me be 
The moon is full...my REVERENCE shows 
An EARTHLINESS feeling...when it glows 
A cloudy CONDEMNATION...blowing free

Weeping willow growing outside my office door
blows in the wind like angel wings.
Each wing unfurls as though taking flight
to some haven where there is peace.
And with this peace comes perfect rest.
The kind of rest given by God
as His gentle breeze blows this tree

The pathway I will lay for you
with seeds that I will scatter round
will soon have blooms come into view
so you can tread on fragrant ground
and feel your spirit fill with song
when we can meet among the blue
of blooms that will have sprung along
the pathway I will lay for you!

When you started rating my poems low
I couldn’t put my finger on it
But I knew something was happening to
Make them drop and weirdly enough only 
When you started commenting and acting like 
A best friend to me so I 
Set a trap and now I know
When you started rating my poems low.

I dreamed of leaving this rat race
Even when the baboons oppressed the monkeys
and the bees disturb the king of the
Forest ; the wood pecker continues his mission
The tiger lies flat waiting for his
Prey ; as the antelope eats with caution
also the toad rejoices for the rain 
I dreamed of leaving this rat race.

Our lives could never be the same
When tasting love that knows no shame
Or self restrain; we both give in
To the strong urge that flows within
As we let go out of control
And fan the flame of burning coal
Knowing full well this is no game
Our lives could never be the same.

With your teary eyes fixed on me
we walked to the station; your little
hand glued firmly to mine. No words
passed between us – just a deathly silence
as the train arrived. We tightly embrace;
my heart was breaking but I smiled;
said I would see you again soon,
with your teary eyes fixed on me

Made by my daughter, to showcase me,
a round locket- that holds small charms:
books in honor of my poems, sunflower,
a sewing machine, art palette, loved cat,
my college diploma achieved later in life,
firefighter coat- for the business we ran-
and two hearts inscribed Mom and Nana!

The deer shake off the headlights


We sat in the car outside the 
liquor store peering like deer, our eyes 
following Pinky as she went in to 
the store for a twelve pack of beer.
Our breathing stops. She's carded. Shucks.
Fake card works. Yes! Pinky time. She
sashays back, with beer and condoms, smiling.

Once a soldier of peace, in Condemnation of war
Full of Consternation for carnivorous divide
But good is not static when Apathy slips too far
For Reverence of calling, within scruples confide
His uncut hands offered to Unearthliness unseen
Innate Predilection to cleanse the monsters unclean
He Encompassed bravery lost so often to pride.

floating paper boats in running rain water,
early morning school walks with my mates,
gran’s story times under bright full moon,
family eating meals from same steel plate,
proudly wearing new clothes during festival days,
chatting with mum near our garden gate,
are memories treasured from my younger days!!!!

Higher above sky


Grow up, get above colour and creed,
if we can't equally respect all religious 
sentiments; if we slaughter at day's end
blame on boundaries; if difference of pious 
and sin we can't see; if stand
firm with stony hearts; if sky obvious
has limits; let eagle explore the grand,
Grow up, get above colour and creed !

All Jambed Up


He just squatted and left it there
nestled gently on the edge and left
without looking back, no trace of regret
following him as he walked away forever
she watched him unsure of what had
been the catalyst for his inane behavior
what had prompted his actions and why
he just squatted and left it there

The rosebud blooms—makes its grand debut 
in joyous spring.  Day by day, its
petals open wide—all stages lead to
fullness in the end. When autumn air
delivers chill, its petals drop as life
and death their endless duet sing. It
then awaits new life next spring when
The rosebud blooms—makes its grand debut

Love is an emotion we reverence from the start
 We have a predilection  to bask in its light
 Consternation arises when love's fabric is torn apart
 And we are encompassed by apathy and its dark night,
 This feeling of unearthliness is one to dread
 Voices of condemnation are silent instead
 As the fires of discord ignite
