It Does Not Make Sense

June 30, 2009

It is hard to explain the wind in the trees and the sun on my face.

It is impossible to tell you how the birds sing and how the grass grows.

It is incomprehensible to say I want to love you.

It does not make sense.

In My Garden

June 19, 2009

A forsythia

to remind me how to love

in case I forget.

 

A weeping willow 

company when sorrow breaks

a symbol of hope.

 

Blue forget me nots

the root of my exsistance

I will not forget.

9 Roberts Drive

June 19, 2009

When I was walking to 9 Roberts Drive on a summer evening,

that happened to be precisely on the 18th of June 2009.

I tasted cherry blossoms, lilac and forsythia that impregnated the air

with sweet rich hues of sensuous aromas.

I felt the sun caressing my face, accentuating the freckles on my nose.

I heard the wind, singing softly to children playing the day away.

As I arrived at 9 Roberts Drive, I realized I was smiling.

I was happy.

I am happy.

Tearing Us Apart

24 Not a word not a sound.

Consideration.

22 A self centred act.

Humility.

20 . . .

17 Manipulation.

Reality.

Please Don’t

June 14, 2009

Red powder.

Blue powder.

White powder.

Please don’t.

Red liquid.

Blue liquid.

White liquid.

Please don’t.

Red candy.

Blue candy.

White candy.

Please don’t.

In an old room with old paperbacks.

Thinking of old troubles and old memories.

Try letting go.

We The Wildflowers

June 10, 2009

So now what will become of us?

A faded memory a black and white photograph.

The pain, tears and the sadness we shared, 

was nothing more then ripples in a pool?

Starting off small and expanding bit by bit,

no curtains would hide our sorrow.

What of the smiles, laughter and happiness we shared?

Maybe they were  just jolly jesters masquerading and parading.

 As if to bring us hope.

what will become of us now?

 That you are sure we have no future?

 You will run and hide and leave all ravens far behind.

 So they cannot peck and pick in the deep corners of your mind.

 Not quite covered in cob webs but is blanketed by a thin layer of dust.

 Maybe of the magic kind.

Your mind had never been so clear to me.

Are we nothing but two wildflowers, simply plucked from our grassy fields.

With no choice but to admit defeat at the end of the road?

I may have been beaten, abused and used before but you have no right.

So now what will become of us?

friend or foe.
