Sweeten Poems

Morning

Dawn, in pink, tiptoes slowly 
across sullen sky, mood unknown,
blue hues hint at what’s to come.
Moon, drowsy from night vigil,
leaves her stars with au revoir.

Sun makes entrance with a yawn,
stretches slowly, surveys domain. 
Nocturnals snug in cosy homes,
day creatures wait...Read More

Speak to me sweet words of a romantic kind.
Reach deep within our love to which we bind.
Then gently touch passion with soothing verbs.
Of a type that excites like scent ripened herbs.

Declarations streaming whispered softly to me.
Ones of great power voiced...Read More

Trickles of joy sliver down ruby candy apple traces

Slope innocent cheeks and naive exuberant faces

Round in circles and up and down goes the delight

Spinning laughter and giggling all through the night


Tinker bells chime on feathered dreams and foot hold

Letting go...Read More

The Good Book says gossip causes much harm.
  But amongst the local folk that did not stop it.
  The tattlers wanted their guilty hearts to be calm.
  They began each rumor attack with a holy topic.

Brought or Bought?

Might a song that love brings not mute one that just tries?
Can what's precious find standing alone in the dark?
Does the love a mom cooks with not sweeten each course,
Should a guest at love's table fault boiled, what...Read More

With a cup of salt
I malt
Take a spoonful of coffee
And mix it sternly
With some hot milk mixed within
Sugar cube to sweeten the lot
Hot or cold
Coffee is coffee
Sour or sweet
Toffee is toffee
A cup too many
Once I drink it up...Read More

Honeybee
you say you are 
just one of many -
but you help 
my flowers grow
and you always
sweeten my day

Skylark
you say your song 
is just ordinary -
but your melody
is my morning sonata
it makes my heart sing
while the sky
is still dark

Friend
you say you
are...Read More

You are what you eat
So dine on game meat
The taste is a treat
And gives you fast feet

Vegetables eat crap
And then take a nap
A slow-running sap
Can sweeten each scrap

Meat may be for men
But wives wonder when
The coq loves the hen
Like Barbie...Read More

       sad is the rain that bitter when it falls at the sea and not sweeten it !...Read More

yesterday
I worked without being able to control myself
I thought I was a guy in a pot of clouds
coming out of one of the earth
frightened

at midnight the endless midnight and I stretched out my hands
to catch him
to run

I fell asleep tired
stolen...Read More

I will wash the feet of my enemies 
I will eat the dainties of the flowers leaves 
I will kiss the bright of the Sun
I'll sit amongst the branches of the trees
come to me
life is only begun it comes to...Read More

'A magical lock?' Groaned Graygall in a voice of defeat.
    'We are doomed before even we are set to advance.
To defeat Trolls would be an almost impossible feat
    but with Troll magic we haven't...Read More

I may not be the chosen, say Samuel, man of God,
But I am still young and weary of this prattle,
For demons continue their way of me, they dare not give me rest,
Is Samuel still in Bethlehem, well so be it,...Read More

Here lies ring doughnut tester, Drew
He bit off more than he could chew.
To sweeten lives was his main goal;
His parting leaves a gaping hole!

An Exquisite Visit 

Went to store where we paid a visit;
What we encountered was exquisite;
Down aisle,
Single file;
In search of food and were implicit.

Our appetite grew and had became vicious,
While we would desire food that is delicious;
Ate and ate,
Then celebrate;
Was not...Read More

The honeybee skilfully builds her cell.
She graciously secrete the wax,
Labours hard to store it well
And blesses others with the honey she makes.

The honey bee blesses each hour, 
And gather honey all the day
From every shining flower
And sweetens hearts everyday.

Her smiles sweeten
When the...Read More

Sailing through airs of iridescent clouds
I collected spoonfuls of rainbow joy
To sweeten porridge included in my love's cuisine
Embellishing it with laughing almonds
Served it hot with fragrance escaping to heavens
Angels flew down to taste the delectable dish

O, black and potent beverage
each morning that I rise
you give me greater leverage
you make me strong and wise

O, elixir of higher thought
rejuvenate my mind
I percolate you in my pot
through dark beans that I grind

With sugar some would sweeten you
and lighten...Read More

I’m not an animal or creature, I’m just a human being
but if the wizard can’t help, then from soup I’ll be fleeing
The wicked soup witch says my poems are dire
she declared I’m past it and that I should retire!

I’ve cried...Read More

You too have young ones
to sweeten your ears
by their melodious chant “dear mom or dad”.
Does it gratify your supreme authority 
to see them go without food for a day or two
before you spend to meet their needs?
Does your heart only...Read More

I apologise
For all the right things I said
to heal your deaf ears
For all the wrong turns I took
to right your left paths
For all the pain I bore
to sweeten your vinegar
For all the hidden words I wrote
to silence your dark past
I...Read More

Would someone please say if you think I'm just whining,
Are thoughts all just rubbish (and that got short shrift)?
Do my dreams lack the relevance for which I'm pining,
Live carcass worth less than a rough box (state's gift)!

'Cause time's running out;...Read More

Whatever bind that bounds us has been broken
For all the time I knew I never thought I'd be forsaken.
Yet after all and everything you are forgiven
Even though all the love we had has been taken.
Oh dear darling although you won't...Read More

Let people pause and ponder that they can,
Freed from mind’s prison, from what-if’s pall,
Know, heaven hails a happy man.

Right things do happen to man, when
He hearkens to soul’s silent call,
When people ponder, know they can.     ...Read More
