Beautiful sunset

The day fades
As the sun disappears
The moon smiles
For its yoke breaks
The stars rejoice
As each shines
With their twinkling
They fill the heavens

Monalisa

Angel's touch at the twilight
A little dark is she at light
With hairs short like a well kept lawn
Behind her are all eyes drawn
Invigorating her beauty as the dew of dawn
She is my Monalisa

Casted Spell

He's been through hell
Yet still on earth dwell
With swords against his flesh in swell
Hypnotic he feels
Drown in a waterless well
So precious a life in casted spell
It shall be well
For this he believes
As sweet fragrance in longing smell

One-Eyed Teddy

Up on the telly seated
With an eternal frozen stare
Little prissy took out an eye
A year she was and teddy, who can tell?

Nothing unheard that is spoken
And no deed escapes the one eye
Times of pleasures seen with maidens
Yet the gift of speech unfound
And all secrets not told

The Edener

Surrounded in ultimate bliss
Boredom in nature so palpable
From a dreadful sleep awaken with a kiss
Beauty before and a fruit palatable
So clinged became strangers twain
By the side an emptiness
Yet without a pain
A little while and forgotten in every moment
Away drawn and in beauty changes
Into a curse plunged by the edener

End Of The Road

Where the road ends
There another begins
And the place where one last breathes
There again is the first of breathes heard

A century lived
And my fifth generation seen
My path in this place ends
And here I wait lost in reflections

What did I do with my life I ask
From this none could ever flee
In no time before my saviour stand

Wrong

Born fragile, no virtue no comeliness, never wanted
In my youth I receive strength yet darkness surrounds me
None to look upon and none to love; never loved
What's wrong with me? He asks

The waters upon him pours
His breath he cannot find
And his eyes blinded, never to cease its flow
His iniquity he knows not
His punishment so severe

A Broken Heart

Let us end it tonight
No don't do this to me please, I love you
So do I, and very much more
But our love, nature approves not of
We would love again
When this life is over and the next begins
Then have me I beg you, a last kiss from your sweet lips
No, I can't. He was afraid in the dark alone with her
Tears rolled, mouth clenched, eyes closed
Heart of a little mermaid was broken

Deluge

Tonight the rains kept me out
The warmth did miss and no dreams without
My home a hundred miles away
And here under broken shelter I stray
Let the dark clouds soar away
I close my eyes and looking up to Heaven I pray
For in me dwells the beauty of Deity
A deluge my ground away ceases
My paths stolen and in my pain pleases
Tonight I watch never to hear a snore
And tonight I am deaf...
...never to hear her call

Single Mother

How much can I sell?
How less can she spend?
And how much more can we invest?
Invest to cater for little Johnny and I

Fifteen months ago he fled
That stupid, irresponsible, bastard!
With cunning words he deceived me
My senses in total eclipse to his feign affections

Mother and friends took counsel with me
In love with him, all hated I saw
And in my mid teen year
I bore a child in absolute pain
To all single mothers
