I couldn’t work out how to reblog and include poems…..so, hope this is okay. 🙂
Inspiration speaks.
Betrayal
This dagger, jewelled,
Betrays what fool
Dwells within my heart,
Pierced by pointless passion,
Blood seeps and so I start
To see the lie, the hand that held
Such gilded handle so,
Aimed at trust and honesty,
Life essence leaks, though does not show.
Love’s Token
This gem is my token
Of love so unbroken
By distance and desert so dry,
Claimed from a source
In joy, no remorse,
A token between you and I.
Folklore
Discovery in nature’s lore,
Plants and seeds and flowers,
Creative combinations heal,
Disdained by higher powers.
A pinch of this, a drop of that,
Mixed with loving care,
Pharmacy from olden days,
An alchemist was there
Using all intelligence
And belief in natural wonder,
Progress paints as foolishness,
Pulls folklore asunder
Till chemical analysis,
Tested in a lab,
Discovers many honest truths,
Declares some potions fab
And so creates, from synthetic means,
Equivalent in components,
Elemental particles,
Not really new proponents.
Dismiss ye not the forest glade,
The jungle and the seer,
Purveyors of all healing powers
Thrive, in giving, without fear.
The Tryst
A tryst here played
For months and days, in
Secret hidden garden
Till lovers recognise the lie.
Two hearts, too quickly, harden.
Lantern Light
This lantern light that floats to earth
Kissing, gently, lake,
Restores belief in magic power,
Innards quicken, quake.
Revealing planetary orb,
Reflecting light above,
Drifting self, amniotic sac,
Bask in glow of love.
A Misty Way
An avenue of sentinels
Guard a mist way,
Only brave and wonder-filled
May pass, where secrets play.
Inviting stroll or fearsome quest,
Truth lies out beyond,
Where, shrouded in a foggy haze,
Souls dance on golden pond.
Too late for some to turn back time,
Reverse the footsteps’ call,
Lost inside another world,
Most beautiful of all.
