Betrayal
A sense of betrayal, a feeling of desire Life turned upside down, deep wounds wreathed in fire Shadows of doubt, tear my heart, plague my soul All the tears that I've cried, drain my life, leave me cold Lies and half-truths, often said with a smi

UNWANTED CONSTRUCTION
I answered the door and found that melody of the past It disguised itself well this time Didn’t seem familiar through the peephole And was wearing a different shade of skin It spoke to me in many tongues before Sometimes using a thick accent

YOUR CHILD
A little precious bundle coming into your life. A miracle that is yours to love forever. For she will always be your little girl, even when she is grown up. A precious treasure that is yours to share. May her dreams soar high and be attained.

Sweet Bird of Sacrifice
IN MY CAR I SAW A BIRD IN MID FLIGHT GET CLIPPED BY A TRUCK AND KNOCKED INTO TRAFFIC AND SQUASHED. WHEN SPONTANEOUSLY I ASKED MY QUESTION, I WAS THINKING OF MORE ON THE LINES OF KARMIC ISSUES BUT GOT ANOTHER ANSWER ENTIRELY. LATER I IMAGINED THE BIRD LAID DOWN HIS LIFE FOR MY INSIGHT. HENCE THE TITLE: SWEET BIRD OF SACRIFICE.

Unborn's Lament
Many years ago a close friend was in this predicament...she swears that the child talked to her in her sleep...it was brewing in my mind for a while and I forgot it... when I met the lady in question recently I found out that the daughter she had almost lived her life the way she dreamed it...this poem is the result...I mean no offence to anyone.
TELL ME WHY
It’s about how we often fail to show proper respect for persons we correspond with, first getting to know each other and then stopping to communicate altogether for no particular reason. We fail to show kindness in writing a farewell letter and explaining in plain words the reason why we make this or that choice. It takes so little time and effort to be kind to a stranger. If we fail in this and treat strangers in such despicable way we fail in major things either, such as love, friendship, etc. and we deserve all the disappointments we have. No reference to anyone in particular, just a general observation.

SHOOTING STAR
In tribute to GASHLEY, she of the tumbling mind, whose poems carry both a wisdom, and enchantment, she the enigma, of the heart and soul, treasure her, magic dust is scarce, we are blessed, that she has sprinkled some for us. ben999
From Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Manon, Ballerina
“Of course I’ll hurt you. Of course you’ll hurt me. Of course we will hurt each other. But this is the very condition of existence. To become spring, means accepting the risk of winter. To become presence, means accepting the risk of absence.”
Angel of The Sea
It is to us forever our duty to relay With pride our tale of courage on the Isles that fateful day. September 1838 she battled through the storm for others she risked her life in the early hours of morn. Gracie is the 'darling' of the north-
