One kiss from you
And my heart will
Skip a beat and one
Touch from you
And my heart smiles
So bright and one
Hug from you
Makes my life
Worthwhile and a
Smile from takes
My breath away
And I'm in love
With you every day.

Ditte Jakobsen

I painted you a picture

I gave to you the color blue
I drew it from the sky
I picked the flowers of the field;
red roses, yellow daffodils.
I made a lovely palette
with the brightest color-swirl,
And painted you a picture
with the colors of the world.
For me, you took a rainy day,
you handed me the darkest grey,
but told me it was green

Lotus

The
sun came
for it's flower

she blushes in
the heat
of the
moment

her
petals
rouge from
a salmons pink

her joy always returns
with dew drops
of the dawn
that pearls
in the valley
of the rising sun

she is lotus my river of love.

For my wife
My lotus
My river of love

In My Feelings

I lay alone in a dark room
In my feelings
Feeling everything around me
Except needed or wanted
I’ve made so many tears
I don’t want to make anymore
Unless they’re falling from my own eyes
So as the thunder rolls in
Stating its presence here with me
The rain chimes in too
Tap dancing on my window
As I continue to lay alone
In a dark room
In my feelings

Khoisan

Alone in the dark

In the quest for the existential
need of nuturing oneself

we dangle in the jungle
by burning candles

it is a super humane thing
drawing ink from another

Secret leaks from
a writer's pen

for we were blind

even keeping
the true devil in mind

sacred to ourselves
as we trip by default
over our own thin lines.

It is good to acknowledge
in reference
A poet who inspired.
