I wear the most fragrant of all fragrances called Champagne Toast,
Because it was the specific scent she had loved the most,
So I am also in a way honouring her very own ghost.

This is my first attempt at writing a Pleiades.
Mourning, often is in
Many ways honouring
Memories of life passed,
Moments of sharing time.
Mostly it is sacred,
Making space for loving
More than you thought you could.

As I move my body vigorously
Announce it, announce it
As I sharpen my pencil
Relate to it
Playing with my tongue
Oooh, this is a mouthful
As I reap the fruits of my work
Announce it, announce it
Enjoying the flexibility of my tongue
As I start to write
Honouring my words
Showing off my intelligence
Oooh, am I done yet

Fresh flowers, garlands with heaven-scent
Adorning royal dignitaries, influentially iridescent.
Great task is to be leis of virtue on Freedom Day
Honouring heroes in their God-granted roles, no one can’t pay.

Heartsick that foolish thing
Thumping through my bones
Shooed away, an errant puppy
Still waiting for the stick throw
It has sat so long
Barely remembers what it misses now
Some flicker of imagination
A sense of who it was
Yet refusing to let go
Honouring it says
To let it go, lets it end
Drowning in defiance
Knuckles white to the stone
Yielding no blood

Drawing up a map
It needs a good navigater
Drawing up a budget
It needs figures systematically
Rolling my eyes in disbelief
The love you have been given
Should be received
Yet it would be nurtured
And will be utilised
Honouring the respect given
Drawing up a marriage proposal
It needs creativity
Drawing up a guest list
It needs a good sense of humour
I rest my case

These were found Amidst the flames of Creativity that Burn deep down Salient
Hearts...
Is there a Likelihood between Bats and Platypuses....
Or maybe between Vampires and Dragons...
Aha! The writings of Saliency on these mild pages...
Damning Thy Six Mad Spirits sending Them Off to that City of Rages...
Life is to be taken in Stages...
Honouring My Quail,Ink and This Wise and Humble Page.

Ballad
Walking in the cold void,
Armies retreating in paranoid...
Families living in pride,
Flag honouring the patriotic souls...
Medals of honour for the call of duty.
Cold War marking the momentum,
Pearl harbour in the backdrop...
World War warning the after war...
Soldiers abandoning their rifles,
Survivors muffle the scuffles...
United Nations hoisting peace,
United we are,
Undrawn the divisions...

A heat wave was blowing,
The sun was roasting clouds,
The army vehicles were hiding,
The sandy dirt was flying heap,
And pouring as showers of rain.
The soldiers were going forward,
With their pointing gun,
A bottle of water and rock sack,
A loaded man was walking,
In a sweat pool under his hat.
Fear was crossing a side,
Death was honouring a pride,
A dignity for a nation,
A price for liberty,
A human paid to a human as enemy.

Verse
Being afraid for something you do not know
Is like honouring a promise that was never made
Being excited for someone else good fortune
Is like cheering, sitting on the bench
Start, stop and smell the roses
Introspection is not for the faint hearted
Moving on is a continuous , unbearable journey
Capitalisation is for the one
Being who you are
Is like licking an ice cream in winter
Being perspective
Is like undressing someone with the clothes on

Good Morning
Grand Rising
Contemplating, Organizing, Eulogising
Wondering, Pondering
What the morning brings
Another day is dawning
And the cuckoo sings
In the expanse of the mind
We float and find
The reality of our eyes
The inner self, the divine
As the music is playing
And I am listening
To the voices of angels
Honouring and praising
The ancestors
Strengthening our resolution
Where we can find
Honour and glory
For the love of mankind.

Reflections in the sky
Ask you to do something
No one else has done
Compassion, self-calming, democracy
All attempts for peace
Honouring our imperfections, our humanity
Tragic thralls
Have no time to learn new ways
Life is death, fear leads their way, to die of loyalty
Conflict helps us grow and change
No time to share our wisdom, our love, our kindness
Bodies bloodied red, countries souls lie dead
Yet still we dream
Of World Peace
So young, a simple one.

Surely there’s a better way of doing it than this?
Surely there’s a better way of stealing that first kiss?
Surely there’s a better way of holding on to your dreams?
Surely there’s a better way than hearing all the screams?
Surely there’s a better way of getting them to listen to your song?
Surely there’s a better way for you to feel that you belong?
Surely there’s a better way without creating all of this blood?
Surely there’s a better way of honouring your God?

Intimate temple in my bedroom, my sanctuary
Silent, sublime, a shrine for hopes and prayers
A peaceful corner honouring the spirit world
Tibetan relics that speak gently to my heart
Sacred sage, crystals and burning candles
Rolling veil of burning incense over nightly ritual
A virtual fountain releasing blessings to the world
Honourable holy mecca for my soul
