Whizzing whirling hurling,

Firefly weaves his tango of light,

Buzzing flitting clicking,

He proudly boasts within the night,

Sun slinks down sky,

Moon trembles forth,

Dawns the dance of the firefly...

 

Spinning turning burning,

Firefly trails his blaze so bright,

Fizzing, hissing, alluring,

He coaxes his mistress of the night,

Sun now just a murmur,

Moon is high in court,

As he dances still some more...

 

Enthralled, enchanted, romanced,

His...

Fear,

The worry and dread

Of being wrong

About something of which

I know nothing yet.

 

The prosecution,

Did I do it?

Yes or No?

I am so frightened

I don't even know.

 

He is shouting,

I've walked off

I'm sitting alone

In a corner

Like in the poem about Jack Horner.

 

Am I alive?

Am I dreaming ?

In my bed?

I don't know

But I sure wish I was dead.

Enigmatic, her petals fall and rise,

As tho reaching forth,

To the bluest of skies,

Arched her back, outstretched her fold,

Unleash the beauty,

Once held static away from cold,

Light brushes amid her bloom,

Unfurls her tendrils,

Summer will be here soon,

Colour akin to melting sun,

Beauty pure, innocence,

Her presence is next to none,

Flashing her stamen smile,

So briefly here to admire,

Let me glance upon her awhile,

Enigmatic, her petals rose then fell,
...

SHELL...

 

A shell

All it is, a shell

Smother's me, cover's me

Padded well

Heavily

Hidden within this shell

 

Luxurious? No

Abhor it, love it?

For inside this cushioning

Lies a person

Hidden

Inside, is "Me"

 

Reflection

Inner-self

Neglected, nay rejected

By society

Foget it

Let "Me" be "Me"

 

I shall shed

This heavy

Once a bodily bed
