Short Unswayed Poems

Betrayed
by lies.
Dismayed
she cries.
Misplayed
she tries
to apologize.

Unmade
he sighs.
Unswayed
his eyes
display 
no surprise,
only 
good-byes....

Give me the bear's hide along this land of limbs she wears a crown of berries. Unswayed by the stones thrown to only rebuild a new home. Sheltering the young ones suckling blue nectar from the udder of thy starfish god....

This hand, Time's, extends
As gift-giver
Be quick, each golden chance
To snatch from out.
Of Love's butterfly-wing
Left in no doubt!

Heeding, by what blows
Lifelong across
For Change. Coldly unswayed
By pleas to stop.
Her late bloomer's! Come, gone
Whom flapped a fop....

In difficult times when you wade,
You look for the safest shade.
If you get one, it’s okay...

with a moue of chagrin
hidden deeply within.
March weeps on his pillow,
he wilts like a swallow

an arrow leaves the sheath.
Before the moon a shade,
a silhouette unswayed
as stars does sky bequeath.

The swallow is reborn,
flying high til the morn....

If l could be an object
A lighthouse l would be
Steadfast , strong, independent 
Guardian and keeper of the sea

A solitary proud yet humble figure 
Weathering mother natures seasons
Never faltering of its purpose
Or questioning its reason

Reliable and reassuring
A towering pillar so stately
Guiding souls of the sea home
Back to land and safety

A powerful beacon of light
One of hope and aid
Knowing but forever silent
An endless sense of purpose unswayed
