Sands

A courtesan at
the king’s court,
an unfinished poet
with only a few lines.
He could read the signs!
an augur of good things
who practiced #augury.

Black-cat crossings
were his favourite omens.
Little did they know
he had travelled through time.

Where the tides
of poetry reach
the breath waits
On sombre waters
we cradle
the last augury of flare
Winds can be tasted
Salt keeps its vigil
Far off
the struggle thins
A hidden shore receives
a muffled longing
There
the land speaks
only with intent

There is nothing #chic
about hiding your heartaches
and instead
adorning oneself in a fake smile
Like a glittery Christmas tree with no admirers
nor gifts to share underneath it

Nightmares of a night creature trying to kill me has been an #augury. Tonight, I grab its arm and twist its claws toward its heart, piercing it. I catch a flash of its face before waking up with blood gushing from my heart. The face is mine.

They were a couple,
alright.

He was dashing.
She was a butterfly
suave and #chic.

Dark brown, sexy eyes.
He was #chivalrous, kind.

Together they could spin a web,
lure a sheikh,
make all that moolah.

But there was a wedge:
she had a lover or two.
He knew it, too.

because we went gild humping silt panning ore
Lilith from the river mud
crawling the fours
found a bear turned her major
found a golden pen
made sure it matched
the songs of the wren
and then there came
the electricities between
washing machines and our odd symmetries
lead to golden stairs

#Vespertine his thought's of slim girl and slender hips with polished and glimmering oil glistening arms and legs
fragrant and silky

#Alphabet -ical order his Mum chose girls from cool to bold
looking, yet his heart swung in
the old tamarind tree.

Ghosts cried his friend !

La la!, #vespertine
his lover was
addicted to nicotine
Nikola’s secret affair
anything but clandestine.

Tired of hiding,
of all those
false adages.
Never the one
for marriages,
what he felt for her
was truer than vows.
That their pull
was karmic
his only grouse.

Dressed to kill
#suave in mauve
she moved with a delayed,
languid walk
a gait thin & tall.

He was burlesque
small & slight;
they didn’t match
not in shape
not in shadow.

She could sing
but danced to the tunes
of the dark.
And he…
he held the key
to the underworld.

Just potted the buds
from a distant, lovely land.
Waiting for their blooms to rise
and chase away the #aphotic gloom.

To rekindle gentle memories
soft senses of love and care.
Each plant a quiet joy,
once it roots,
and learns to grow on its own.

Thank you for appreciating

Each breath in those
contoured silences
reminds me of you
your embrace,
our passion.

Each breath
ignites a spark
lightening up
the dark

each breath,
for as long
as it #lasts,
is for you.
Only you.

We should have stopped speaking with each other after the big argument. We did not. You made me tea the next morning. We talked for hours about everything and nothing. This was how #suave we had always been. Nothing could keep us apart, not even ourselves.

Morning was a winter wonderland, everyone #excited! Hadn’t snowed in so long. Fairy on top of the tree, shed a tear. Last time she was up, it’d snowed then too. But this year, dog chewed star—she hoped to see him, in the night sky.

A beast of a man he was to all
To me my one true love

His words so eloquent and #suave
I was captured from the start

Sadly his hard hit looks ruled his mind
He thought himself not worthy

Grabbed him by the waist I did
Told him, “My love you’re stuck with me!”

Fresh returning slides
Gentle magnetic seas
Salted sunny saviors
Moon's magnetisms
Marvelous motives
Spinning sciences Away from sunshines
Lit oceans brilliance

Pacific Ocean's Trails

My boy
don’t move too slow
through dark alleys
Don’t let fear
turn your feet to lead
keep-’em nimble
ready to run

Leave enough room
to say YES
& know when
to say No
For sometimes in life
we stand,
sometimes we fall
but rising again
is what truly #matters
after all

Is the scriptures true ?!?

It say's fire proceedth from their tongue. And whoever tries to kill them should be killed likewise.

#Healthy wisdom to the soul if one reads it with better understanding and fear !

A real #heritage of this era but a threat with " GOD'S WORD "

Day thirteen of ‘Reign, Dear’ is posted!

A conspiracy is afoot, a wish granted not quite to expectations and innocuous words can be considered prejudicial …

Continuing the Festivus tale, basically a #Christmas story.

www.wattpad.com/story/403819...

#Health be a wealth priceless
Let it be known before it’s too late
Aches & pains—mumbles & groans
Not always the old

Futures unknown and
The start of destinies too
But whatever you do
Don’t let loneliness rule

For them
Or even yourself

#vss365

Life is a learning
A constant yearning.
My old man would say,

“If you’re the one who’s churning,
Someone above you is earning.”

But still
it is a #learning.
Stay consistent,
Keep that
inner fire burning.
The wheels of time
keep turning,
And turning,
And turning.

Thank you 🙏🏽

Eat healthy
or savour a binge
Power through
or simply laze & linger
Guilt or defiance
Ego or pride
Always caught
between two extremes
what if, today
I simply rest with grace?
quietly embrace
the gentle, steady art
of keeping a balance
between body #health & mind
