TheExpat Jun 2014
For too long I've worked      
Run errands not shirked  
I've obeyed the rules
Done with work, down tools      
Almost end of day
Yaahaa! It's Friday!
TheExpat Jun 2014
A fresh beginning        
Down life's highways new  
Each day joy bringing      
Laughter is their glue        
A bond unites two    

In the park at play
Soft heart waves the wand
Offering a way  
For maia to bond
A mother so strong
Can overcome foes
Healing any wrong
Easing any woes
  
Mother's daily pride
Amazing young child
Ignites love inside
All is well she smiled
Acrostic For a friend
TheExpat Jun 2014
Doors locked windows barred
Words spin, twist and turn
Exits they bombard
For freedom they yearn

Sentences here form
Ideas and thoughts
Seeking to transform
Cages into forts

Bars and locks dissolve
Prison now fortress
Past hurt words absolve
Offering redress
TheExpat Jun 2014
Take time to care
Infuse with joy
Mend the despair
Bro'hood employ
Achieve in prayer
Lord's love deploy
Long live old boy
Tried acrostic for my friend's birthday

It's all my fault
You never held me near
no mother's bond is here
I will be strong, no pain, no fear

It's all my fault
Cast off for them to betray
Who will wipe these tears away
I will be strong, no pain, no fear

It's all my fault
Dry eyes now my only shield
This fortress will not yield
I will be strong, no pain, no fear

It's all my fault                          
The dark night cloaks the beast
Prowling with torch to feast
I will be strong, no pain, no fear

It's all my fault    
He hunts with clawing hand    
His strength I can't withstand
I will be strong no pain no fear
                                  
It's all my fault
Defence a moment lax
My protector attacks
I will be strong, no pain, no fear

It's all my fault
Inside part of me dies
As he takes his foul prize
I will be strong, no pain, no fear
        
It's not my fault
In teacher's guise you came
This child soiled in your shame
I am strong I will shed the fear
TheExpat Jun 2014
No first steps nor trips and falls
No bursting heart at your first word
No holding breath to hear your calls
No joy in life not yet occured.
TheExpat Jun 2014
Carefree my life
Hides emptiness
Internal strife
Longs to profess
Denied by fate
Love incarnate
Expecting now?
Son or daughter
Someday maybe?
First attempt, is this even poetry?
