As I lay




As I lay here
Pondering life’s little miracles
Sensed surprises
Mistakes done…
Intentionally, purposefully?

I realize I am life’s err
The
Very thing that desecrates beauty
Kills purity, honesty and love
I water and feed
Hate, lies and evil

Say yes





Say yes
To a good life
Say yes
To a smile
For everyday
Brings with it a new pile

Say yes
To laughs
Say yes
To company
For with each
Comes a warmth
From deep within

Don’t say maybe
If or might
Sit and accept
A good life
A good smile
Say yes

I wonder





I wonder …
Had I been a flower
Would I smile
At the morning sun
Or frown at the bird
On my door

I wonder …
Had I been a bird
Would I laugh
At the pot of gold in the flower
Or would I scowl
At the cat
That has me in its sight

I wonder …
Had I been a cat
Would I devour the bird hastily
Or would I take my time
And keep an eye out on Buster
Who always want my tail.



I wonder …
Had I been Buster
Would I chase the cat
For fun and games
Or would I lay in the sun the whole day
Or would I allow little Sbu
To play with my tummy

Leave me alone





He came at her
A thief in the night
Hankering to rob and destroy
Sending porns first
For their measly souls worthless
And easily accessed.

“Leave me alone!”
She roared in her slumber
They came like a cloak of passion black
Overwhelmingly on her every sense
“Leave me alone!”
Their smirks evident
On their demonic faces
They snarled like dogs on dogs

Closer and closer they came
Stronger and stronger her protests
He watched from afar
Enjoying this inevitable victory
Of yet another
Shattered from His hands


She arose, her slumber history
Uttering words with no meaning
“Not again, surely he didn’t want this one
She was just a child”
He disappeared leaving his porn
In destruction.

As you depart




She wondered
Wrecking her brain
As to how could
She plead with her to stay
Make her want her
Chat  to her
As if all was good …again

She yearned, longed for her
To want, to crave for her
For the days of old
Where they tumbled
Playfully biting.

She curled her legs
To her chest
Wanting to protest
And scream
Scream in frustration
In this emotionless being
Before her, taking
Packing her life away


She pulled back
As if in a dream
Realizing that when God
Shuts a door He opens a window
“As you depart my love
Have a good life”
She spoke through a smile
