still strong enough to pull my heart out of my mouth,
Lena I called her, Lena....

Tapping out pitter patter

Lena thought she found Ole’s secret brew
In a pot it was left to stew
She took out her dip
And took a big sip
Now Ole is both black and blue...

In green field’s
Sow grow in fruity
Duty is finished
Finally he will sound sleep—

Meri shaksiyat pe gor karna,
Unsuljhi si lagegi
Mere beete kal pe gor karna,
Zindagi roothi si lagegi
Himmat ho tumme………..
To meri rooh dekh lena
Zarre zarre me maut ki,
Dastan dikhegi

A beautiful caring dearest ever friend
Gentle heart in joyful kisses
Love me, never overbearing, patient
Quite remembering--so tender
Undisguised; very exquisite in words with zest!

There once was a lady named Lena
Who was an amazing six foot ballerina
When her partner so strong
Tried to lift her, it went wrong
And he ended up dropping her on her keista

Oh Lena, you set my heart on fire,
When I see you think of you,
What eternal power you hide,
What other men will feel I cannot inside,
Fire in my heart this winter, 
To warm an ageing poet,
Whilst the snow falls....

white of the birch winter
the cold seeps into old bones
Lena 
stare cold
only to those
who have not met
her heart

Siberian dreams
my white russian melts 
in winters wind
confessions I give
red lips
made me sin
the spy within...

Lena lost,
I keep crying out where is my daughter, where is my daughter,
She's in heaven they all cry,
How do I get there I say,
They say,
No hope in hell.
I know she's in the vurt,
Not heaven,
I seek curious yellow feather.
Can anyone help....

There once were three girls from Athena
Sweet Lena, Helena and Celestina 
        Each to make a bit of dough
        All set to put on a show
Gave fame’s wheel a spin in packed arena

Words
Flow with
Elegance
To create paintings
On a canvas filled with white light,
Bursting with everlasting imagery of nature

Kedai usang di tepi jalan
lambang kasih bonda
tanda keringat perit ayahanda
pun sepi di tepi jalan
tiada pelanggan

tiada lagi suara penuh mesra
tiada lagi pesanan ke udara
tiada lagi apa - apa

pun lena ditelan kenangan
kisah cinta dan kasih
bonda dan ayahanda
yang penuh pedih, luka dan duka...

Blue, violet, and magenta masterpiece
Brushed with mounds like white cotton 
Rainbows streaming down sunbeams 
Intertwining amongst pillows of light
Drifting, spiraling downward
Covering the earth in elegance
Gracing many a mountains face
Illuminating sand and stones
Creating paintings upon the soul

Misty morning of enchantment
Afternoon ablaze with temptation
Beneath a sunset canvas
Your hand intertwined with mine
A moonlit stroll in the dark of night 
A midnight kiss beneath the stars
Tucked safely in for the night
Awakened gently by dawns early light
To find yet another 
Misty morning of enchantment

Falling
Gently
To the earth below
Snowflakes
Freezing
A blanket of snow

Falling
Gently
From Heaven above
Raindrops
Dripping
Rhythm of true love

Falling 
Gently
Ever so slowly
Teardrops
Streaming
Leaving me lonely

Falling 
Gently
My soul yours to take
Wholly
Boldly
My heart please don’t break

In perfect rhythm
A gently flowing ballad
Perfect melody

Tugging at my heart
Softly lifting my spirit
Tickling my senses

A song of beauty
Calling to the universe
To maintain all life

Everlasting tune
Beckoning for all to see
Shimmering with hope


Singing out for peace
In harmony with the wind
Conducted by God

As angels gathered ‘round 
I heard sweet music play
They played this song for you
On this, your special day

I cried a crystal tear
Upon my cheek it did lay
I cried this special tear
As God called you away

I put this tear in my pocket
There is where it will stay
Within a heart shaped locket
Until we meet again one day
