Ideas grew old
Many times retold
Refurbished

Designs on the web
The spider knew its craft
The fly well caught
Adorned as centre piece

Reroofed and rebuilt
The origins restored
Lotus grew manifold

Memories of the old pond
Settled in the wet mud
Sliding over the new lotus leaves

Everlasting the ideation
The ideas old, retold
Refurbished

The beauty
Of your nest
Lies in knowing
What hides within
Is better than the rest

A glimpse through your foliage
Reveals a soft calyx
The petals of which are
The enthroned souls of the faithful
But a trap door nonetheless

When I enter
You will sigh
When I keep at it
You will know why
Angels sing

Ravishing Queen
Not in my once upon a time but at all times
Flies fearlessly like a butterfly
Ready to explore the world and never loses her true North
She's made a life for herself and her hands have been blessed with a midas touch
I've seen her cry before and she's made that go away
She's proven to be resilient and to be made of steel
She's a wonder woman trying to save the world even when she's lost everything
Kindness, care and empathy are her portion and I've had a sip
She's a tower of strength and lady of great wisdom
She's an African queen
Sometimes I think what I see is what I believe
I've seen beauty in African Queens
Our mothers and sisters
This is dedicated to them
It's never Halloween
But the demons are always out.
Turning my good days into bad ones
