Au Revoir GE

A journey called GE, a decade it has been

A pathway of opportunities, sometimes thru thick & lean

A mountain of learning’s I’ve enveloped within me close

I walk into a new world, as GE can I pose?

I pray I’ll do justice, for all it has taught,

I’ll look for the comfort, the years had brought

Then I gaze at new horizons, confident as can be,

Over my shoulder, are the years of you GE

My leaders, mentors, managers & guides

In your many teachings security, surely I stride

You’ve let me be, sometimes error and fall

Yet knowing your there, allowed me to face it all

My teams, my friends, my cherished few

Added all to life’s beauty colors & hue

Life’s choicest God has blessed me with

In these beautiful years, He has let me, you meet

I embark a journey, of the other side green

My memories are mine, cocooned within

Shaped & molded, I am for the world to see

Many a credit given, to a place called GE

I bid fare-well, it’s a hard bye to say

If I’ve hurt you, then do forgive I pray

God’s will manifest in all you do

Shine as diamonds, as He has planned for you

Well Wishes Friend

For the countless hours spent with me
for laughter that went far beyond it meant to be
for cherished moments for a wonderful year
Keeping me away from my lonely fear

For being one so special, as special can be
I close my eyes, your warmth and love i see
Good natured, your blessed with a heart of gold
Many joys and love, may the future unfold

A new journey you have embarked upon
Accomplished life, for this reason gone
Success befriend you in every path
Everything you hold dear, be cherished in your heart

A hand to hold

I reach out for a hand to hold

My morning walks, unaccompanied, I am so cold

I look at my smile, will someone care to share

Childishly walking down the lanes, I wish it to be a pair

The gentle breeze whiffs by my ear

The little butterfly, rests on my shoulder, pauses to hear

I tell her my desire, sit out in dim light

My beloved eyes look into, hold love in sight

Wake up to dawn, in arms that want to hold close

Warm you, your dreams, softly told

With giggles & merry cheer, finally out of bed rose

A happy day, I promise, for you I will unfold

Tossed up, my own cooked breakfast, its laid ;-)

Burnt toast, scrambled eggs, strawberry crush

Between every bite, the promised kisses paid

Smile at the day ahead, all the love & mush

A day I’ve thanked God for, make you all mine

Bury you in hugs & kisses, time tick away

All out to love you, cross every line

In timeless time, be by my side, let me lay

Watch into his handsome deep eyes

No words spoken, yet all you say I’ll hear

Watch across the silence, glimpse you,

What had I done, deserve, such a wonderful price

I look into the heavens, allow me to love

Prepare me first as a person rooted in love, from above

Love cords bind, hold dear & cherish

Your perfect plans unfurl, permit this love to flourish.

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.

Mama..

She held me close, her love so beautifully warm
Protected, sheltered us, from life’s every storm
Daily discipline, another day a new lesson taught
To forgive, overlook loving brat behavior, often sought

She rose tall, held the household chores in her palms
Her cool disposure stayed, little did I see lose her calm
Gathered the strewn books, settle down, study time
Smiled away our puffed cheeks, pleading whines

A smile, all the worry from his face it took
Gently across the hall way, at dad she would look
A step behind she walked, always been his pride
Ever since on a bent knee he accepted her, his bride

A woman graceful, many days she has been
Watched the moments pass by, held ground thru thick & thin
Wisdom and she have long been friends
Their chitter chatter, often deep messages they have sent

I look out for her, after the long hours of my day
Kindled thoughts, a gentle word, she’ll always have to say
The ever busy time of life, taketh from you further
Yet no distance, time gray out allow,
I’ll call on this love, the love of you, mother.

Confessions of an Insomniac

I get ready to get there, make sure its all comfortable

I’m keeping my day back, my mind sound, stable

The pillows are laid, the mattresses settled

Slide in between sheets, watch them disturbed, slowly crumple

Sigh I beneath the whites, hear the whistle of my breath

The familiar sound I desire leave behind

The day has been, has been long, strained some frets

In dreamy places I seek to go, my peace, in silence, I want to find

I turn to the wall, maybe its easier on this side to doze,

I pull the linens closer, envelop my face

The questions they come up, all ready in pose

I stare vacantly at nothing; they glare at me, a maze

The count of sheep, I’m told is one that works

The number draws to multiples of tens, now hundreds,

The dense darkness over me bends, lurks

I await my tired self and sleep to be wed

My mind forced, think nothing but blank

The myriad turns of yesterday, they scream in my head

Hopes of wonder sleep, before blurry eyes it sank

I try sink deep, steal the passing console of my bed

I crawl out a weary me out to stand the floor

I gaze to a watch that says, good morning, 5 AM

I inch my way out, past the bedroom door

My day pillars ahead of me, this is not the way I want to go

I’m dopey eyed, cramped before my laptop

I’m aimlessly typing, direction I lack

The nagging thought of pills, take em pop

Drive away this sleepless insomniac
