Not Alone

The left eye tear, she whimpers for company

So bare, alone she felt, was her destiny

The night dark& cold left back

Faces another day thrown by life’s deck

Along a path so less trodden

Oblivious to the world, she has been forgotten

Picked up her bag of memories, for all good

At life’s crossroads, alone she now stood

Looked back the years, how lovely it all had been

Bustled up with many dreams, she was so keen

Stepped up with gusto, her every stride

She was her own, her own self’s pride

Crumpled she sits, watches her naked heart

Her strewn, ransacked, once perfect, apple cart

How had she allowed, been so naïve

Life’s alone journey, now left to survive

The tear rolled, softly down her cheek

Turned she looked, would someone for her seek

Broken, takes to the ground, alone she bears

Prays to the Father, allow someone to care.

Gathered close, glanced upon His palm

Carved was I, praising in a Psalm

Never alone, have I let you been

My Own Love I have promised, see in John 3:16

Down a path...

Reminiscence of a path they called love

Little packets of memories, bowed with blue-red ribbons

Cushioned with more, tied sent on the feet of a dove

Across the ball room, eyes strode to lock

Treaded softly, towards your arms,

The evening glided slowly, sequenced moves to slow rock

Allowed you to savor, succumb to my charm

Walked down many lanes, green grass whistles

Stop under the old mangrove, pause for a kiss

A light jump over shrub bushes, thorns & thistles

Lied down, stroked your hair, closed eyes to bliss

Waited restlessly those evenings for you to come

A hard day it has been, comfort you yet again

Offer you warm lips, relieve stress, take some

Gentle fingers probe shoulders, withdraw the pain

Bruised my day, what would make you smile

Ran past all the menus, made it worthwhile

Warmly gazed, a hungry fork and knife dine

Washed away, sunk in the delights of twirling wine.

Dark curtained skies, hidden soft glows they tease

Warm love, caress you light

Watch your eyes close, the worries slowly cease

Kiss your dreams, good night.
