Porcelain skin
Smooth to touch
You stand on high for all to see

You look from monuments high
On folk below
No one knows who you are
Your past hidden future unknown
drapped in your best
For all to see
you are
the woman of desire
For men to desire

Your the seller the buyer
The porcelain figure
The model
The doll

Regrets and Gratitude
Today, with tears he left me for the last time
Yesterday if he did, I’d have to live with unsaid goodbyes
The past more than four years went through my mind
Nit-picking all those times, finding answers to my why’s
A life lived for others who cared, maybe even loved
Life's demands and priorities tie people down
His days lived alone in his small and quiet world
Devoid of human connection, most days on his own!
Four years ago, we met and our feelings seemed mutual
A warm welcoming sight, in a short coat of warm brown
Smiled so much he drooled all over me, much to my chagrin!
Warmed up to him, I simply couldn't keep my frown!
On days I’m alone and lonely at home; he always dropped by
Caressing my legs asking why, what’s the matter now?
I’ll share with him what I have; I feel it’s always worthwhile
He’ll take what I give, he’ll ask for more then take a bow!
I wonder next time when I work in the garden or water our plants
Who’s gonna come walking around making funny sounds?
Will I see pebbles all over the driveway, will I be upset, cross?
The tears I shed today; a proof a good friend lost!
But am I sad because he’s gone forever from my life?
Or is it more guilt than sadness that’s brewing inside?
I could have done more, I could have love him more
I wore the love inside; allowed contempt to let it hide.
Still I hope this bit of nature I have built around us
Gave him moments of fun instead of just pure glum
Under the banana palms with its broad long leaves
He’s spent days of endless summer hiding from the sun
He has dug the garden beds more times than I ever had
Chasing butterflies and dragon flies all year round
Sleeping next to fragrant flowers in autumn months
Rolling on a sprays of summer colours covering the grounds
Coming home, an orchid flower trashed I'd find
A crafty mind would have thought and planned
To pick the ones with buds about to open and shine
Yet confronted, the look in his eyes says “see it’s gone?”
Feeling ignored; he never failed to make it known
He had the knack of picking my prized, favourite plants
Or making sure he gets more attention than me from my husband
He knew he deserved so much more from these hard-working hands
The silence in this home will echo in his absence.
The Love, Friendship, Company he gave without measure
Leaves a pain in my heart I don’t really understand
Bu I know, I was blessed with four years of memories to treasure!

About this poem:
Went on a poetry- writing hiatus for over 2 years so feeling like a stranger to both poetry writing and the poets in the corner now. I hope there are still poets here of my days...it would be nice to hear from you all again.Our furry friend was put down this weekend due to his failing health. I didn't think his passing away will move me as much as it did. Nothing much has stirred me in the past three years that's enough to help me find the courage to try writing again.
Being a fool
Well my love here's the rift
that lies between
It matters not what one may dream
Nor what another may convey
You have your own perception and way
No word or thought will change
or shake your temple built upon
the foundation you lay
Many fools may wish to stay
seeking your audience in their
peculiar dismay
Hence, it only empowers you
to push them away or to choose
what you want to convey
Overall, wisdom dictates to all concerned
love without pain
is love that never learns
Perception and knowledge are two different things
for one guesses the tone of how a message rings
The other has no need to assume what is truth
for it already knows how the bird sings
Nevertheless the fool continues his path to knowledge
blundering along in his own college
Yet are not fools allowed to dream or love or feel
for anyone without being a fool?

About this poem:
This is written by a very good friend of mine.I thought it's very interestingly beautiful and I'd love to share it.
I'm learning so much from this friend and I know I'm blessed to swim in his world.
into the void
Void of space
Darkness enveloppes concept of time
Wraps around are univerce
Are we lost in time
Twinkle the stars that radiates space
Time moves faster opens wider are expanded universe
From creation
Enters black holes other universe expandes are time
Bigger are universe greater knowledge we learn
From are open space
Darkness enveloppes concept of time
Wraps around are univerce
Are we lost in time
Twinkle the stars that radiates space
Time moves faster opens wider are expanded universe
From creation
Enters black holes other universe expandes are time
Bigger are universe greater knowledge we learn
From are open space
