Porridge
I remember those mornings with
A warm bowl of porridge
The soft, sweet oats
Warmed my tongue
Sweetened my soul
Oozed down my throat
Filled my stomach.
Now, that saccharine scent
Just makes me bitter
The deceptive oats
Torment my tongue
Muddy my soul
Claw at the walls
Of my throat and stomach.
A warm bowl of porridge
The soft, sweet oats
Warmed my tongue
Sweetened my soul
Oozed down my throat
Filled my stomach.
Now, that saccharine scent
Just makes me bitter
The deceptive oats
Torment my tongue
Muddy my soul
Claw at the walls
Of my throat and stomach.

Idealisation
I do not miss you
I miss my creation
The person I knew
Was idealisation
Well, I should keep
These comfort-characters
Only for stories
For make-believe
They don't belong
On physical forms.

Well, I should keep

Fascinated by Flora
Your petals are exposed, open
Shamelessly displayed details
Puce-pink fades to a creamier hue
Before a vibrant sunny explosion
Splashes all over my eyes
I savour the velvety fragility
On my fingertips, as I touch you
The scent floods my nose; a lively aroma
Birds and bugs are enraptured
And I too am captured
Blooming buds and wonderful weeds
Can be small joys existence needs.

Puce-pink fades to a creamier hue
Before a vibrant sunny explosion
Splashes all over my eyes
I savour the velvety fragility
On my fingertips, as I touch you
The scent floods my nose; a lively aroma

And I too am captured
Blooming buds and wonderful weeds
Can be small joys existence needs.

MISCELLANEOUS POEM

Ancient Silence
The tree, thousands of years old,
Has been patient for years
Whispering with others
Witnessing many tears
It knows that patterns
Can change and shift
It knows that wolves
Can go from beauty to brute
Birds sing then crickets chirp
Flowers wilt and wither
Jade-green turns to gold
Air becomes crisp-cold
The tree has stood there
Through it all, many times
A creature that is only very young
Can never truly know this language, this tongue
The tree has been patient
For thousands of long years ...
Has been patient for years
Whispering with others
Witnessing many tears
It knows that patterns
Can change and shift
It knows that wolves
Can go from beauty to brute
Birds sing then crickets chirp
Flowers wilt and wither
Jade-green turns to gold
Air becomes crisp-cold
The tree has stood there
Through it all, many times
A creature that is only very young
Can never truly know this language, this tongue
The tree has been patient
For thousands of long years ...

Winged Charmers
Lepidoptera, in the night
Drawing closer, closer to light
Dainty, silvery, dusty wings;
Nature makes such beautiful things!
Lepidoptera, sun so bright
What a vibrant and winsome sight
Striking, vivid, colourful wings
Nature makes such wonderful things!
Lepidoptera, in the dark
Resting on the bumpy tree bark
Quiet dancing under the moon
Calmer movement, morning is soon.
Lepidoptera, in the day ...
Drawing closer, closer to light
Dainty, silvery, dusty wings;
Nature makes such beautiful things!

EROTIC POEM

Rinse Me, Numb Me
No more guises
Just look into my eyes
Every word said, from now
Will not be a lie
But every word about to jump
From your lips shall die
Because your carnal cravings
Will eat them alive.
I'm slowly dissipating
But I know you can revive me
A fallen tree, I sleep here
Slipping into lifelessness
But I feel so ravenous
And I know you can feel
The thumping of my heart
It's eager; deeply.
You crawl up to me
With a...
Just look into my eyes
Every word said, from now
Will not be a lie
But every word about to jump
From your lips shall die
Because your carnal cravings
Will eat them alive.
I'm slowly dissipating
But I know you can revive me
A fallen tree, I sleep here
Slipping into lifelessness
But I feel so ravenous
And I know you can feel
