THE LIGHTHOUSE

A dark cloud passed, for season time cast

Amidst a light shone; a lighthouse beacon

Illuminating grey surrounding’s dark hues

Upon horizon’s view; caught in heavy gale

Ship sailing rough waves perceived its glow

Promised hope, set sail on its course

Inner peace; anchor would soon settle

Upon secure trusted foundation

Where the lighthouse meets the storm

ABANDONED HEART- UNREQUITED LOVE POEM

She walked along an empty street;

The darkness of night blanketing her soul.

Left destitute and depleted.

Once full of life;

A heart that beat strong

With passionate love,

Was now barren.

Exhausted, from the existence

Of a tragic romance.

She bestowed every depth of her being;

Extending her hand-

Finding an unanswered reply.

Her love overflowed

Into a vacant wasteland of idle words.

Foolishness, Foolishness

She cries;

To give herself away

To an idle n’ inexpressible rendezvous.

Intimacy proved-

Fruitless, Temporary, Forgotten

After the door shut behind him.

So, her heart bleeds

With every abandoned step;

Mixing with the tears

Of unrequited Love.

COMPLEX SIMPLICITY [THE ROSE]

Petals, red

As a beating heart

Feed by sun’s rays

Glistening with morn’s dew

Rooted in rich soil

Giving life, deep within

No hallow ground.

Stem, strong

Green, alive

Nature sings its beauty.

Protection, its thorns

Kept, radiance from harm

Those whose will’s steal

Capturing soft pedaled blooms

Only to retire when separated.

Whole, its parts; Strive

Yesterday's, today's and tomorrow's

Life giving beauty

Joyous solitude rooted deep

Bringing forth life;

State of repose, are

Petals, red.
