CAROLINE

Indespensable  Genesis

The eyelets of quintessence

Spot the caves of allegories

Grains and kernels of acumens

Revealing the measurable

And immeasurable swan songs

As I step on the tiles

Of masquerading  ivory towers

I play, play, restart and replay

I walk through the routes

Of meltdowns, pitfalls and Goodwin sands

Cyclones whisk wavelets of carry-on

Inside my knapsack

I unhook the velcro straps  of recycling dawns

Of  the wild blue yonder

And  the atomic exodus

Then,  I lick one-by-one

The most unwanted patches

Marking the mirrors of my bare skin

The façade of colorless, priceless inner child

My plain Arcadia knows no faces

Knows no deities, royalties and upper class hands

Come into my resilient love-webs

The fountain of a special one

The compass of an empowered woman

FROM A WOMAN TO MY MAN

I have myself,  the  simple zinnia on your vase

I asked for nothing, but you gave me sunshine

The  smile, the hug, the cuddle, the warmth

I am happy to the little things I have

You  give me light to complete my being

I am truly deeply thankful for your unconditional love

You  are my life the life of life

You are the dream I dreamt and dreaming

To love, to cherish, to treasure

Until I know how  to give up all, even my life
