Memento

A woven tapestry
A memory canvas
A colourful fantasy
A memory, of Atlantis

Harness

It’s not easy to harness
Light, from the darkness
But even in the deepest shadow
A blooming life will grow

Road Travelled

“Poetry is the art of creating imaginary gardens with real toads”
Marianne Moore

Road Travelled

The road travelled
Was filled with gravel
As life slowly unraveled
Exposed, to unwanted battles
Sometimes, treated like cattle
Our cages slowly rattled
Until reaching, the promised castle
On this long road, travelled

Ice and Coffee

Ice and Coffee

Chilled, in a tall glass
The liquid, not made to last
Pour it down, really fast

This dark icy mass
Was not made out of grass
But of a sacred stash

Beans filled with caffeine
Only the most pristine
Made, to this drink supreme

Daily

Daily

Reflected, daily life
Today is, peaceful, without a strife
No need for a fork or knife

Took the day off
Decided, with a coin toss
It’s no one’s loss

Sitting, in the shadow
No worry, of tomorrow
Just enjoying, what this day throws

A Seat

A Seat

A seat in the shadows
A seat in the sunshine
A seat in the meadows

Even the one seat
In the setting of concrete
Is quite fine

Fascinating

Fascinating

It’s almost, like a painting
I find it, quite fascinating
An out of focus photograph
Reminiscent, of a calligraph

Stare at it, for a while
What ever as you want it to file
It will still make you smile

Red sky
Sunrise
Nature’s prize
For a
Brand new life

White

White

Delicate
In blooming white
Elegant
Like a flying kite
Intelligent
Their design to the fault
Resident
As the earth’s salt

Flower Pot

Flower Pot

A flower in a pot
Got its summery slot
Right there on the dot

It may be store bought
Maybe, not what you sought
But this is, what you got
