MY GUILTY PLEASURES
Guilty little pleasures on high
Sweet divinities raised on a blissful ride
Melting magic dripping off a special pride
Sigils of love bringing on joyful, longing cries!
Say my name and I will yours
Absence of inhibitions, all but tender cures
Let us leave behind those sickly fires
Breathing on life and its mighty, brilliant drives!

Forgiveness
Drops of water sliding down my hand
Lines of age running down my palm
Mingling thoughts of joy and pain
Where did they go to,
all my years, those since I was born?
Tears welling up into my eyes
The pain I caused, the hurt I initiated
Was it retaliation, ego or just my pride?
Did I seek forgiveness, or did it not matter?
For I was the king of my very own parlour!
Here we are then, at the road’s end
Shouting out loud, but nobody hears
For I am too weak to even speak!
One last sigh then, one last try…
If it’s all the strength I have in me
Hear me whisper out like a lashing sea
“Please, please forgive me…”

………….
Dance with me in the moonlight
Take my hand
Curve my spine with your hand a-slight!
Swirl on the beats
Gently but strong following the feet
Maintain the lines
Forming a whole is what you seek!
Lengthen the step
More complex it will get
Free the spirit
Unleash your regret!
Take this dance further up
See those eyes around you stare
Awe and spellbound, will they dare?
One step to the next
Clear the way, this is a concept
To lead so they follow
Into the depths so hollow!
A poem by Chriselda Barretto
From her book – Must Love Poetry
Lying down in bed
across my open window.
The light of the moon beside
hazy and dark outside.
Wavy figures moving to and fro
Sinewy, long, always on the go!
Rustle of the leaves I hear
sway them the branches near
from the gentle wind that gushes.
An occasional bark or meow
distantly far, but my ear it reaches.
There it is again
hiding in the shadows
dancing in between light and harrow.
A figment of my imagination…
care not, for slumber I follow
my head gently hits the pillow!

From her book – Dreams and Dew
Fight with your heart and mind
Worth it… don’t think it’s kind
Ask me then my opinion
As crazy as it seem to share to millions!
Bring out your love and deeds
Surface of reflection be your heart
Start another race, right on the mark!
Each being create this sheltered aura
Lighten up those positive fires!
A poem by Chriselda Barretto
From her book – “Must Love Poetry“
Shelter from heat
Is that all we seek?
Wishing on a passing cloud
Is that all that holds benefitting clout?
Sing in my praise, before they sleep
Eat, pray, weep…is that the order of the sheep?
Come on by with a wistful must
Shatter those chains of an aged past
Unwilling though…you still find trust!
For look ahead, far deep into the light
A challenging sword, in all its might
Clearing boundaries…all around, left and then right
Herein lies my evergreen, vengeful delight!
A poem by Chriselda Barretto
Apologies I offer thee in advance
Shedding any hindrance, maintaining my superfluous balance!
For now I shall commence my irrevocable dance
Cursed being, you lost your golden chance!
Shame not in sight, this is my win
Dirt is meant for you, a horrible cringe!
Sorrowful and doomed your existence
No more need for even a simple sentence!
Go about your way, our paths never again to cross
The ultimate fulfilment is to leave behind you, an undeserving rotting moss!
