A SPACESHIP Has Landed

A big domed spaceship I see

Neatly seated on earth with glee.

All lit up and ready to get go

High up to the bird’s nest.

Encased beauty to welcome guests

In this city made of joy at its best

Merrily the home of Mickey Mouse and his quest.

 

Terms of Endearment

 

“Hello, Baby Doll!”

Out in the open they greet

Moans in between their yellow teeth.

Each time I walk to work,

“Lady love,” they yell and smirk.

Endearing but I got no time to play.

“Sweetheart,” they say.

So goes my day.

 

 

 

WEAK

Weak as a bird;

Escaping my predator,

Anticipating capture then death,

Knowing the time has come.

Hurt

How do I begin to smile?

Up against the wall without style

Roars of despair beyond repair

Tantrums thrown up in the air.

FEAR

tell me

how

to have courage

in silence

to fight

my enemy

we call fear

I feel.. I hear… I see…

Droplets of cold water from the sky

On a cold breezy autumn morn

Tickling my short curly hair

As I drive by two rows of  wet palm trees.

 

Lost Angels, I call my city.

As people walk fast, hoodies put on,

Greeting each other, “Cold morning to you.”

I bow my head from the house to the car

My hands shaking opening the door…

Seldom does it rain this side of the city

But this morning is just full of His glory.

Cold Morning to you!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Freezing Fall

​Another cold morn

With the sun behind thick clouds,

Green grass left wet

And windows blindly fogged.
The day gets better

With the sky clearing up

As jackets left unbuttoned

And sleeves rolled up.
The night gets colder-

Brain freezing cold!

Once more, my hands get numb

As my lazy feet rest.
Frozen tears,

Ice-cold heart–

Autumn breeze

Keeps me at no ease.
