Must Love Poetry
Pill
Awaken me like you do
every morning be it rain, shine or hue.
Build in me your thoughts so free
cause it helps me foresee
this enhancing feel of love and cheer
heartfelt, warm, full of all that is dear.
Allow me the will
to clear for you a place..quiet and still
to feed me with your love-spliced pill!
From the book “Dreams & Dew”

Stroke…
Dreaming silently, watching aimlessly
Trying to figure you out
Feeling your thoughts work away
Splashes of paint all over you
See it now, that visionary pout!
Move on with your precise strokes
Building momentum with each strike
Vibrating colours on different textures
Fingers mixing in that light!
Can this be my unfaithful hoax?
Healing it is just to watch
You be my one and only match!

The Suffragettes….(Happy Mother’s Day)
She cried out of her senses
Sheer despair, beaming at its hinges
Shedding her thoughts and beliefs
Resting in her mind’s deepest crevices!
With every drop, inching out attached negativity
Spreading thin, creeping riddled sensitivities
Cleansing out the coloured palettes
Years of depressed feministic rights and fates
Blooming on with the beautiful suffragettes!

Dedicated to Mother daughter suffragettes: Christabel and Emmeline Pankhurst
Mistral Winds
Shelter I seek
from these mistral winds
touching my skin
as ice on fire
melting innately all my ire!
Opening my pores
as the petals of a rose
blooming in abundance
under these rays
of the morning sun affray!
Carry me with you
onto the sea
glistening shades
of the truest blue.
Birds flying high
their spirits roaming
gravity free
making me feel full
of happiness & glee!

New Leaf
A poem from “Dreams & Dew”
Turn over a new leaf,
do it because
you know you need to.
Turn over a new page,
because this story
has to be told by you.
Fill it with writings
straight from your heart.
Detailed, important parts
hitting like darts,
to all its readers
embossing your lifelong art!

Mid-week Thoughts!
Heart Shaped
This one is for you
You will recognise it
If you are the true, my baby boo!
Your eyes like deep pits
Enriched with years of grandiose soul
Your skin more glowing
Rife with melted chocolate and honey
All of it encouraging me so much more!
Your hands so divine
A pleasure for us, all mankind
But mostly its your heart
Hidden in depth, but shouting out
Cream-filled, pure, delicate and refined
Honestly spread even, a fine gold-mine
Waiting and ready for me to entwine!
