Echoes In Memory

Echoes in memory are all I carry
And a little voice which tells me,
What is not today shall be tomorrow;
What today is not tomorrow shall be

Memories and a Prayer

On this day
Of joyous celebrations,
Of the chimes of time,
Memories of tears
And happiness,
And the excitement
Of hopes and expectations.

I remember
Your singing voice,
Soothing words,
Love, care
And ministration,
Your peaks, moans
And reciprocation

And I pray
For fulfilling joy,
Auspicious chimes,
For song, bliss
And caring sharing,
For kids, chaos
And happy rearing!

Booms of Silence

The din of silence
Crashes into my 
Ears, shadows of despair
Crowd into my 
Heart; hands paralysed
By the weight of 
Distance, voice drowned
By the rattle of 
Quiet, I remain
Praying and pleading
To a stone
At rest, pelting 
Booms of silence...

Tomorrow

Two birds of joy
Perch on my tree of sorrow,
Harbingers
Of a golden tomorrow.
Again.......tomorrow.

Solitary Crow

I see the solitary crow
And take him as my lot,
For you've chosen to read me
As something I am not.

Get and Give

Till you keep looking
For what you can
Get from me,
Rather than 
What you can
Give to us,
We will remain 
Divided
By the ocean
Of mistrust and 
Buffeted
By the winds of
Destructive thought.

Stillborn Love

When I'm with you,
My love finds
A melancholic expression.
Exhilaration 
Suppressed, I wear 
A tormented look.
Voices I hear
Calling me away;
Having found you
I know I have not.
A stillborn love
I cradle;
Oh! how do 
I sing and dance?
