Rose

Early Morning

In the soft

Morning light

I catch the

Sun’s early rays

Lighting the rose petals

In apricot-coloured

Dazzlement.

Rose in our garden

Red Rose

The satin folds

Of the blood-red rose

Glow in the spring-warm

Morning light

Like a beacon

Proclaiming

The new day.

Rose in our garden

Fragrance

I catch

The powerful

Fragrance of the roses

As I pass quickly by –

So I pause a moment…

And drink deeply

From their beauty,

A soft perfume of delight.

The deserted beach
Became quiet and soft
As the sun set
Over the smooth water.

Gentle ripples
The only waves,
Caressing breeze
The only movement.

Red sky
Growing pink,
Then grey
As the disappearing sun
Left us alone
Together
On the deserted beach.

Sadness

How can the sadness in my heart

Be expressed in mere words?

The agony, fear and hopelessness

Have drowned my spirit for many days.

I crave for peace and stillness

Within my long tormented soul.

When will I be delivered forever

From this pain?

I escape from the cruel reality

Into the warm comfort of your loving arms.

I am drawn into the soft cocoon

Of your ever tender, enfolding love.

My joy is but transitory.

The cold still remains.

My soul bleeds.

I am going.

Love me.
