Words of My Ancestors

By moonlight when the moon shone with all her majesty, 
My ancestors told us the story of the Tiger,
Which crouched at every rumble of the jungle-thunder,
Either out of fright or from bravery;
Tiger, male and ferocious,
With wicked fangs,
Tiger which breathed fire upon the foliage that shielded
Our village from the rage of the sun,
Which raped lady antelopes

Words I Love

Self soother naysayer tell me a fairy tale please 
speak out a story that lingers soft as the breeze
Rein me in tight - by the light of an undulate sea 
talk to me gently and rock me as if you were me

Calming yourself with a dream, let it be let it be 
recall the walls

DAILY GRATITUDE EIGHT WORDS

I am grateful for for knowing the eight words
in life that if spoken…will take everybody far…

And I’m grateful to repeat them often:

I love you just the way you are.

WORDS OF LOVE

An etymologist…(from an article I happened to see)
is a person who studies words…their origin and their history.

This particular article…(I am happy relate)
mentioned in the English language there are more words that describe love
than there are that describe hate.

The article did acknowledged that throughout our language’s history
both love and hate have had a wide range of

Minding his own business we have Tweety Bird
up in his cage not uttering a word

then Tweety turns into a most clever sinister brat

As Clean as a Whistle

As Clean as a Whistle

The park is a dance of colour
as leaves pirouette and waltz
around brazen, undressed trees.
November, and the sun sits weakly
even rather streakily in the sky
while I fold myself quietly
into this soothing, autumnal scene.

BUT….. a shock  of a screeching whistle announces
the arrival of Miss Bossy-Glossy Wellington Boots
and her thigh-high energetic, pointer dog.

Wordspill

My cheeks mopped by tearstains,
heart tainted by swallowed sobs.
Yet somehow, when you listen,
words don't want to be heard. 
But don't leave me alone,
embrace me tighter in the night.
Suppress my depression, push it down,
don't let those unspoken words explode.
Don't let them spill out of my heart.
Without you around, I'd be washed away
in a flood of words

Words Cut

Too many opinions. 
Too many people sharing their minds. 
Is it too hard to sit and think before you speak? 
Don’t you think our own conscience cuts us down enough? 
Or maybe you don’t care. 
Little do you know, I am my hardest critic. 
I want to do my best, yet my best isn’t enough.

Given the chance to self correct
they usually fail miserably

Is it malice or stupidity

MY BIRTHDAY PRAYERS

It's a new era for me
Thanks for all you do
Bless this era
So I don't repeat lessons
Let my problems be lessened.

Make a way 
Where there seems to be none
For that's what you're known for
That's why I'm steadily relying on you
I need your reply 
A speedy answer.

Do it your way
Before I try my way
So

The Weight of Unspoken words

I carried them, these unsaid things,
Like rusted locks without their springs.
They clung to bone, they pressed on air,
Yet no one knew they lingered there.

They filled the room when I stood still,
They bent my spine against my will.
Each breath was taxed, each smile a cost,
For all the voices I had lost.

And when at last my lips
