Brushstrokes
Blurring the
lines of spirituality,
sensuality and
surrealism,
my words blur…
into deep water
colours
softly washed,
misty visions,
into surreal abstractions.
In this my
internal femininity,
the intimate
colours
intricate my
being,
form fresh
perspectives.
I begin to see
and feel intuitively…
in unfolding
rhythms,
my inner chants
and mantras,
magnificently
moulding them into life’s truths.
Interplay of
words and
feelings
symbolically sway
my soul, into an
empowerment,
impacting my
being,
colouring my
world.
I understand the
flow
of a divinity on
earth
in subtle
brushstrokes…
of an inner
poetry of healing
of mystical awe!
A freedom of
inner self and energy,
associations of
surreal beauty,
a woman’s
nuances
and a deep
dialogue with the world.

The Light Shone
In tropical
splendour
a dawn appeared…
the light shone,
streaking
strands of a golden glow,
after a
sandstorm,
and hopes spread
their wings.
A tapestry of
interwoven wonder,
darkness and pain,
light and hope,
innocence and
softness,
like the eyes of
a doe.
Like a needle
weaving in and out
embroidering
feelings of coexistence…
shades of purple
shadows and silken pink,
intermingling of
red and orange glows.
You and I still
live
in the inner
language
of a pain, of
unspoken kingdoms
not fully
birthed with joy,
little
minimalistic words
with oceans of
meaning
are exchanged
and await
the touches of
hope.
We in lyrical
splendour,
are word
warriors,
painters of
generations
of gains and
losses,
our love delves
deep…
like entangled
roots underground
we support each
other,
recreate the
destroyed,
fly above to a
freedom
into a sky of
meticulous divine beauty.

Chambers Of The Mind
Within the
chambers of my mind,
the chatter is immense…
like the
continuous rustle of leaves,
like a wind that
exhales,
like the music
of pouring rain,
like the sigh of
a waterfall
and an
amaranthine misty spray…
blending a
mingling of minty freshness.
The chatter is
sometimes
like the humming
in a prayer hall
filled with
monks…
deeply sonorous
echoes of murmuring
like waves of a
flowing calm in the air.
I turn the pages
of an internal book of life,
hold precious
and dear each page,
they take me to
a land of solitude and wonder…
with each deep
beat of my heart…
into mystic
thought pathways…
to a vibrating
consciousness of a divinity,
that illuminates
my soul
with vibrations
of a cosmic wonder.
