If the desire for life is not burning your heart,

If the desire for life is not burning your heart,
go to the flower fields, lie down in the green grass, and kiss it
until it gets your lips green
green  - green -  and
                                    deepen your hands în the black earth,
deepen your hands în the black earth,
squeeze its roots,
                            squeeze its roots,
squeeze its roots, like a child does,
let its juices drain through your fingers

let its juices drain through your fingers

let its juices drain through your fingers

meet the sun rising like a Lover,
let it be your guiding myth,
let it be your silent light,

flow with the waves of the sea,
                                                 flow with the waves of the sea,
randomly, give a hug to a seagull, and dream, dream, dream...

After,
if you are tempted, you can try over and over ... over ...
if help is needed, the wind can help,
                                                    let the heart open like a rose,
share the dawn,
                         roses love to be touched only by the morning dew
dew dew dew
dew
after, if you  are tempted, try again, one more time,

(…all we do here, my dear, is try
            to recover
                         the wings we once lost in the rain …)
# Go# back in the grass
Interfered with my grandchildren's
upbringing
I brought up my children,
As I deemed fit,
Theirs I leave to my children,
But yes I advise whenever necessary,
Children are sharp witted,
When they want something they are not allowed,
They come to you,
Did your mum the Home Minister give you permission  to be safe.

My neighbour knew more about me than I or my husband,
So when she came to chat over a cup of tea,
I would hint to her what I wanted for our anniversary or birthday a few days before,
By evening all the neighbourhood would know,
Even my husband who is forgetful,
So hubby has no excuse.

Truth untangled
darkness shines
Terse in format
long on tone
Silence Christened
sin bemoans

Complex topics
simple rhymes
Said but once
forever chime
One breath frees
indentured words
Locked away
— in verse unheard

(Dreamsleep: June, 2025)
fighting together—
cold white melts under warm sun
the truth bathes the lie
