Poem #9 Frozen Anger

Frozen Anger

It’s a cloudy day today.

Dull clouds
To numb my mind.

Cold wind
To chill my heart.

No sun
To warm my soul.

My mind is ice.
Inspiration
(In my crying heart)
Suddenly stops short.

My blood is still.
Warmness
(In my dying heart)
No longer throbs.

My soul is void.
Consecration
(In my lying heart)
Is unjustifiable.

It’s a cloudy day today.

Ponderously flying up

River in slow motion.

Haiku #17 Snails

Snails sliding on paths

After heavy night showers.

Careful – don’t crunch them.

Poem #8 Colours in my head


Colours in my head

There are colours in my head,

Throbbing, bobbing,

On and off.

Flashing, crashing,

Through the dark.

Glaring, flaring,

In and out.

Setting alive

The barren

Wasteland

Of loneliness

In my mind

With a patchwork

Carpet of memories

Of love.

I see that pathway

Stretching unendingly

Before me.

Take my hand.

Hold it firmly.

Haiku #16 Orchids

Walking in the scrub

We stopped, stooped – amazed;

Orchids are in bloom.
