Exponential Love

Exponential  Love   

Just like a river  with endless flow,
my love  for  you  forever  glow,
you have  the  sparkle  in  your  eye,
that gives  me  the answer as to  why,

Like a pendulum swing to and  fro,
my heart  is  pounding blow  by  blow,
for  as the  rhythm stays in  motion,
empowers the spirit of  devotion 

The  growth of  love  is  exponential,
cannot  explain this rare potential,
You’ve engraved within my  soul, 
Footprints of love that’s cast in stone.
Fusion of  thoughts  are  moulded in one 
Trusting I will  never  walk alone

Conquering Love I

"CONQUERING LOVE   

Hinged between the family feud,
our love is forged in spite dismay.
as egos grapple rift of old,
I  know you have a  heart of  gold.

Defiance all, my heart aflame,
at statue ruins we meet again. 
This  secret  place, to us discreet, 
Like  puffin doves, we pledge our love,
For no one  else  but  us  can  see, 
our  unity  under the  willow  tree,

Believe  not that of  gossip tongue,
Not  chosen them, my soul mate  be,
I know you not, tradition seek.
For sake of honour, custom speak.

No  rule  or code or  flogging  me,
For you my  love,  my fortress  be.
A miracle wish, this feud shall  cease. 
My knight  in armour  set me free.

I long the  day  in  history,
To spend our life in tranquillity.
Submit to thee my dignity.
A life in distant far away,
lest family lead my life astray.

Peeping Dreams

PEEPING DREAMS 

White mushroom clouds dress ivory shades,
Shadow the moonlight,
 peeping in purple,
lighting the darkness in our space,

I watched upon your hour of slumber,
A smile reflected enchanted face,
How much I wish a window to peep,
To share the dream within your sleep,

Herein I see the depth you hide,
Yet shallow the feelings you cannot hide 
Then softly to kiss your lips to seal,
The moments slept you shall reveal,

Limitless Horizons

LIMITLESS HORIZONS  

Not a cloud in the sky , not a bird in  flight.
A sphere of serenity, a world of eternity.
Limitless  horizons  where  earth  meets  the  universe,
serrated only by  pine  trees  of tower  
A  peace so present reveals  nature’s  power 

As far  as the  eye  can  see, an  ocean  of beauty,
A carpet  so  white, a haven  for  angels,
Amid ‘s  a  background of vision,
a breathtaking beauty of passion. 

With rainbows in  contrast to colour the distant.
This picture so painted trans heaven the moment.

Birds of the Amazon

"BIRDS OF  THE  AMAZON – 

Below  the  canopy  of trees, 
who  seek the  secrets  of the  sky 
A  paradise  of  colour ,
a world blessed  with those  who fly.

Macaws  of  blue  and  red,
where  parrots  of  blue, are fed 
A haven  safe for  all 
A place of  home  to  call 

The  earth bellows tremble,
The hoot of owl a-miss of tempo. 
Eagles take  flight with parrots  in fright .
Monkeys a  chatter as  nests lay in scatter. 

Monsters  of  metal, unknown of kin,
Arrive the troops, that know  no sin .
As blades  of steel rotate in action 
Ploughs  engage to sow  destruction,

Now  earth  at  thunder, no storms  yet blunder 
Man’s  greed  arrive with joy of plunder  
No  home  the  same, 
as monsters  of metal discard  it  with  shame "

Tropical Island

Tropical  Island   

Flamingos  in flight  pencil  the  sky,
amidst  horizon drifts pink  clouds on  high.
Lies yonder  an  island of  tropical  cliff,
with  fish, coral  reef  and  seaweed  adrift

Here dolphins  are schooled and  learn how to  play.
The  hatchlings  of  turtles can  swim  in the  bay
Where  mermaids  can  frolic  their  fishtails  and  say
That  no  one ‘s  discovered  their  home  to  this  day

A place  I  would share with some  one  I love.
Enjoy all creations of nature untouched.
Where gannets  and seabirds  can nest  on the rocks.   
A home to all solice  with peace from  above.

Music - Food For the Soul

MUSIC – Food  for the Soul

Though we can’t touch it,
yet we can feel it,
Though we can’t see it, 
yet we can hear it,

for it breathes life to our spirit,
and grants  food to our soul,
awakens  the melodies to hum in the tub,
a power for people of gospel unite,
and also at festive the heart to excite 

though ye be deaf of tone or  rhythm deplored,
it has a magic for  want to seek more,
the tap of your feet, a satisfied need

poetic it needs to give  it a face,
above all it glorifies  lovers with grace,
no matter your status give music a chance,
a chemical formula,
your life shall enhance

Yellow Roses

YELLOW ROSES

Each  day that  pass  with heart ache  cry,
I drop a tear in a pond close  by.
The ripple  count  of many  rings,
are echoes  voiced that you are  near,

And as the  clock of hours tick,
a yellow rose for you  I  pick.
as  minutes  pass, a  forest  grows,
With yellow roses just for you.

The candles  lit, in seconds timed.
they cast a  light as roses glow,
the fragrance thence that floats above,
tells you  this,  I’ve  done with love.

Memories Cast In Stone

Memories cast in Stone 

All those times in midst alone,
All those moments cast in stone
Meant to last as joy unfolds,
All those countless memories  framed,

Taken by my lens of  eye,
Only catalog have I ,
All those vineyards and blue skies,
All alone just you and I, 

All the rivers and the mountains,
Echoed love in countless fountains,
Yet the kisses remained silent 
As your eyes reflected radiance,

Then we pledge to love each other,
till our days of age together,
as was molded in our hearts,
we cast a love to last forever.

The Magic Spell

The Magic Spell  

Sandwiched tween the  satin  sheets,
My  head  at  rest  upon  your  breast,
Snuggled up to warm  our  hearts,
Lavender scents  the air  its breath.

A  starlight  flash  adorns the room,
Alas ! a fairy  queen has  come,
to cast a  magic spell of  love, 
A sensual  movement of your hips,
informs our  lips  to seal a wish

The  dampness on  your  brow  it  says,
that cosmic fluid  has  to  flow,
to burst the  bubble  that  has  grown, 
and melt the  moment that has shown.
