Short Trepid Poems

I fell upon an open space of love 
Of warmth and grace sent from above
Entangled as a worm upon a hook
Nestled in a lovers’ crook
Strengthened by hearts trepid beat
Cajoled and swaddled within loves heat
Crippled now within loves’ grasp
Freedom far beyond my pass
Love love a so wanted grace
Swallowed now a forgotten face....

I know the land where the lemon-trees flower
Where dew-drops shower 
On the pure lily-flowers! 
There flows a glistening life-giving river
On each wave a sliver 
Of light that delivers

Every eve a dawn-break
Every breath a keepsake.

A heart’s journey 
Into the world of minds 
With endless chatter 
And careless whines

Prejudices and principles 
Counterfeits of beliefs 
Drowned in confusion 
Lucid and trepid

To prick and prod 
Judge every and all
Resolute, Sincere
Or mired in fear?

A virtual universe 
Of impressions and reflections 
With tradition or fashion 
Still seeking salvation

A heart speaks 
Through the shadows of doubt
Tender, tolerant and kind
Seeks affinity in the crowd....
