Nostalgic Melodies
I remember I was a toddler.
The summers always lasted longer.
And I never minded the fact I'm getting older.
I blew my birthday candles.
i made my wish.
I didn't know,that my childhood will perish.
I wanted it to last forever.
I wanted to be together forever.
But alas,I had to accept it..
And move on from these times.
With memories causing happy smiles.
We used to play with dolls.
Now we work in a place with dark halls.
Sometimes,we think time lasts forever.
But it passes too fast whatsoever.

Remembering Souladaretease
Dear Soul
who left us too soon
to the end full of love
and a spirit so bright
in his poems he painted his worlds
with spirit sparkling like stars in the night
he speaks of the woods
where his soul found solace and peace
he listens to the whispers of trees
where melodies never cease
a poet of grace stanzas full felt
his verses hold power
as he dances with the muse
Beloved by all
his poems are read
Soul's words bring joy
depths of sorrow
reaches hearts
surreal balms
the deer...

THE MOON AND HER STARS
Being outside in the dark seems to be therapy on it's own. Just looking at the beautiful moon and thinking of your face brings me warmth. The sky twinkling like that beautiful smile you wore until your last days. The moon looks as beautiful as you were, it makes me feel closer to you. Full moon days are my favourite, they get me looking forward to dawn all day, when you'll rise up with the sun going down. I feel whole when the moon is fully and gracefully sharing it's light with the rest of the world at night, and the star twinkling so brightly and beautifully filling my entire body with...

Valour Never Dies
everybody knows
what they sacrificed
extraordinary courage
of ordinary men
who stood tall
for those who couldn't

like seeds in the ground
gave evil
no chance to flourish
with the precious blood
they all spilled for peace
those left behind
remember well
for valour
never dies
while we commemorate

The Definition of Love
Are you at peace?”
It’s not far-fetched of you to ask me
in your prayers each night
and thoughts each day
The much-known concept of two lives
is swallowed by the living each year
First, when we are physically birthed
and slapped into breath;
the second when we wake to purpose
and life slaps us into a vessel
for something greater than ourselves
The lesser-known concept
of two deaths is fully understood
on this side of the veil
First, when our physical being ...

Crucifix & Candlelight
In the necropolis
there is no life after sundown
Branches weigh heavy
with its slumber
Here at the ofrenda
we wait for the heart of it
amid sugar skulls
and old photographs
Course salt laid out as a cross
to purify and cleanse
providing courage to remain
and alter a memory
This is the part where we tread
gently, knowing the past is present
camouflaged in the thick space
of enveloping incense
wafting...

Driven.
There's a spectre haunting me
a ghost of a man from the past,
his death seems to have confused him
he thought his life would last.
He also thought he was off to work
on that fateful day
but some folk had fixed him, but good,
made his own thoughts go away.
They planted the seed inside his head
and waited, with due accord,
they planted the seed of self destruct
then pushed the button, hard!
Now, a garage is a draughty place
so he pulled the door down, tight,
and waited with his patient grace
to be...

A Visit to a Meandering Past

the trail is cold now
the feet that once walked
down that path
in the woods
walk no more
the breath, subtle scent of cigarettes
no longer inhale the smell
of the tranquil wood
all is quiet
regrets in the eyes of Doe
the kingdom is quiet
no owl hoots
no deer passes
the golden dusts rest
upon grass and leaves
the boat had cross
with coins from eyes taken
for fare
and Styx's dark water

A Windy Monday
This morning I thought I’d reach out and touch you
But you weren't lying next to me
I walked outside and found you
I found you'd already left me
But soon I’d be joining you in the sky
Given flight by a murderous passerby
Tell them what you want about sorrow and regret
Show them what you think will help make them forget
Strength in numbers means nothing today
We've all been taken away and there's nothing you could ever do or say
The wind blows with such a hateful moan
It's a shame the rain has left us all alone
Short-lived...
But you weren't lying next to me
I walked outside and found you
I found you'd already left me
But soon I’d be joining you in the sky
Given flight by a murderous passerby
Tell them what you want about sorrow and regret
Show them what you think will help make them forget
Strength in numbers means nothing today
We've all been taken away and there's nothing you could ever do or say
The wind blows with such a hateful moan
It's a shame the rain has left us all alone
Short-lived...

A Poem I Can Never Finish
It’s hard to be happy when everything reminds me of you
It’s hard seeing everyone move on when I can’t
It’s hard to be alive when you are not
It’s hard seeing everyone move on when I can’t
It’s hard to be alive when you are not
