From the mercurial hands of fate
she reclaims her ifs and maybes
laces her shoes and packs a bag
whistles her favourite tune
while she hides a smile
because she knows
all next days
will be
hers

the way down ~ a decima
from mountain tops my journey starts
skiing, spraying powder white snow
sprinkling sunkissed glee on the go
skirting trees, through hurdles I dart
leaving footprints on nature's art sliding slopes till the day is done
living the moment on the run
falling in love with surrender
making a note to remember
the way down can be just as fun

words flow ~ a nonet
Words flow from your vivid velvet lips
leaping over shoulds and shouldn’ts
coursing through my venal veins
altering my mirror
pleasing my senses
deceiving truths
causing awe
your words
flow

deeper ~ #writephoto
Deeper and deeper into Time
where when warps and does a cartwheel
for free romantic hearts to steal
moments for each other to rhyme
floating off to a space sublime
Stars burst in synchronicity
laughing with clocks and gravity
oneness of the universe smiles
when souls meld, we stop a while
we wonder…in the infinity

To believe ~ a decima
Lighting up the way to heaven
she points her finger at the stars
arching herself to reach afar
humming a big dream to live in
rooted firm in truly being
all of the selves that she can be
even beyond her destiny
plunging into futures with care
calm, confident, with her feet bare
to make her choices. To believe.

I woke ~ a limerick
I woke up in 2021 from a coma
and went right back into trauma
coz everywhere I looked
people were nuked
by a virus they called the corona

shy pink ~ a haiku
blossoms blush shy pink
skies cover cheeks with both hands
dusk slips into bed

Lonely
Lonely comes from knowing you
liked morning to kiss your lips
lulled from dream drenched slumberings,
little aware of my heart
longing for your mulled murmurs,
lured into sweet pain of hope.
Lonely comes from knowing you
