Last Night

Jan3

night

 

The last night of 2012 takes with it

sorrows, malice and pain,

cuts envy, swallows greed,

injects optimism in worry and cools anger

And a bright new day opens up

as innocent as a child,

which imbibes its teachings

Is it to be fed with kindness and optimism?

or frustrations and misgivings?

The first day waits

Snow Feast

Dec4

snow

 

The benevolent sky conjures

a heavenly feast for the empty earth,

scattering snow on the lonely bench

drenching the eager tree,

loading trucks playfully,

tossing thin crusts on surprised travellers

and coloring the wet mud,

thus making a creative pattern

of white amongst dark brown

Picture it & Write

Pills__Picture it & Write

 

My confidence has betrayed me

and mental strength has abandoned me

Let me to take solace

in the dangerous tablets,

seemingly insignificant

Let me take the first one

and go into dizzy joy

A second tiny one

to escape into a fantasy world

The third one to take me

to a delightful trance

The fourth one to

mild unconsciousness

and the ultimate one

to a dreamless world

with no despair of dawn again

 

Hi Friends, This is a rather dark theme written for Ermilia’s Picture it & Write.

My New Friend

Dec2

butterfly

 

The butterfly follows me

when I walk,

perches near my seat,

leans forward when I speak

and hovers around

when I sleep

 

Is he a friend, a confidante?

or a curious bystander?

If he had an ability to converse

or I had the talent of perception,

there would have been a lovely new song

now for you
