A Blessed Moment
A warm november afternoon,A pair of pigeons on my ledge,Steel gray necks, feathers a lot,Beak in beak, peck by peck,They turn into a frenzied ball,A playful foreplay,A heartfelt sight,A blessed moment!
A Woman’s Smile
A master magician,Skilled by time,She can silence your fears,With one bright smile. A master illusionist,Hardened by time,She lives behind her eyes,Burying tears and smiles. A master survivor,Don’t get on her wrong side,She’ll rubble you into a pile,And walk away with a smile.
SORRY DEATH
Death,Mesmerising, fascinating,What lies on the other side?Is there another side? Death,A constant, ceaseless,Is it the only truth?Isn’t life a bigger truth? Death,Scary, frightening,Will I be born again?What’s there to be born again? Death,A celebration, commemoration,Of relationships and purpose called life,Sorry death, you come only second to life.
Goodbye, My Friend
Goodbye, my friend,The songs you sang,That smile, that glow,Your riddles and jokes,Go rest and sleep,Adieu, my friend,Again we’ll meet! Dedicated to my friend Paddy, a brave and beautiful soul, to have walked this earth.
