Short Mid May Poems

Sweet whispers caress the night
as a gentle voice soothes the wind,
like calm words spoken by Mother
after a nightmare;
battling fear with bravery,
hushing nature's storm
with a simple song,
painting the moon with quietness
as her gentle voice soothes the wind,
like a melody from heaven's lodge.

like a melody from heaven's lodge.

On a dulcet day in mid-May, 
Japanese cherry blossoms bloom.
And they release a sweet bouquet,
as potent as any perfume.

I love to take walks in the park,
under inked canopies of pink.
For though leafless trees are still stark,
winter's mark is starting to shrink.

Album clutched by hands
    trail along reverie’s lane,
      unraveling soft moments
one photo withstands,
   flickers of time that remain
     wafting through  savored events.

Ribbons mark a face
    changing from beam to twilight,
      oh last sheet, in disarray
where in fond embrace
   she recalls an autumn plight,
losing him in cold war’s fray.

The battle in blood and fire
Emotional fireworks everywhere
Bewitched by poetic lyre
Where both meet in one embrace
No prejudice, no colour, no race
No wasting time on futile dare

Sober or drunk in lover’s wine
The most powerful of all time
Where both love and hate entwine
No matter whom you are or where you’ve been
No matter what you endured or what you’ve seen
Morning bells will chime in rhyme

Relinquishing the time clocks of the past,
Emerging from the glory and the grind,
Transformed throughout those years that went so fast,
Inspired by dreams, you leave those days behind.
Rebirth awaits with chances fresh and new. 
Embark upon bold journeys; bravely go.
Ephemeral, sweet life still beckons you,
So plant your seeds and watch your future grow.
