Found a Red Envelope next to my morning tea...

It's Chinese New Year but also Valentine's Day.

Traditionally, one contains money, the other love

- far more valuable...

My routine cup of sugerless tea brewed by hubby

is in a 'Nan's Biggest Fan' mug given by my grandies

and matches gold on the card adorned with Red roses

from my Valentine...

My grandchildren will open ...

I ask for a lot some times
and end up crossing a few lines 
I can be hard to understand
In front of you, A riddle I stand

I may play ‘hard to get’
I’m glad you didnt give up yet
I sometimes ghost you all day
So thank you for loving me anyway

You barely uttered “ I love you”  on your way out,

And I hardly call that a kiss, we only skimmed each other’s lips,

Whenever I upset you, does a piece of me in you break off until there’s nothing left? 

Did your words "I'll always be yours" lose its meaning over a spat?

How special you are

To have laughter that infects

Bottomless: it goes on and on

How magic you are

To make every day an art

To make life come undone

To make the mundane fun

To perk up everyone

And spread a mood

Like waves until the whole scene

Becomes your sea

How special you are

To capture the heart

Of a wild beast that

Saw life as being free

To whom does he belong, this strangler fig? 

I have not invited him, no not i.

Well I am appalled at his tendrils and vice grip,

And that gleam he has in his eye.

To whom does he belong, this strangler fig?

You would not welcome him, no not you.

Well you not once ever knew of his arrival,

If so, you would have seen right through.

What good is this strangler fig?

Beautiful to be fallen in a love with you my beloved

A union two twin flames

theirs
one old soul’s
shared nostalgia

about
our actions, how we react
an intertwined mind
quale, in the way we act
an ordeal with life
born into circumstance

chaotic
the conundrum
all of the elements and alignments required
the complexity of an immaculate conception

It made me sad when I saw him there.

Beaten and bruised as he carried it. 

No one helped him.

No one cared. 

He hadn’t hurt anyone, yet they hated him.

He hadn’t stolen anything, yet they despised him.

All of this made no sense to me.

Why was a man who was faultless being punished?

Why was a man who healed and renewed life to people g...

memories light my heart to start again

warmth in my veins like medicine

candles in every crevice and corner

my house is overrun with light

but i am warm

so i let it burn

candles on my nightstand flicker

as i dream of fire consuming me

and awake to see the light i kept too close

Your eays hold stars that light my way

A gently grow at the break of day.

Your touch is warmth, aspak to true

Like dawn's soft kiss and drops of dew.

Each Breath you take , a song so sweet

A melody where heartbeats meet.

Your laughter dances in the air

A whispered promise, light and rare.

Through  storm  aand sun , through time untord

Your love is fire, fierce yet gold.

I took for granted everything,

colors of every hue.

I didn’t know those colors

filled my world because of you.

So, like the fool I am

I let you go, too blind to see

that on my own I am just alone

and things turned out to be

where colors slowly slipped away,

the yellows, greens and blues.

And now the only color left…

is the memory of you.

Two days until Christmas.

Two hours until light.

Too often you fill up

my dreams in the night.

Too tired to keep going.

Too weak to move on.

Two lovers divided…

in one love gone all wrong.

a dew drop tear on the first open eye,

I am there with them on rich hunting ground

and still we are waiting, mute to a dream

my hope ponders spirit, in a world left to die,

His love for her was strong but still,

a longing in his soul

took him to where he could be free,

but ocean’s take their toll.

He never did return

although she waited faithfully.

Day and night she sat there watching,

hoping she would see.

She prayed that his ship would return

but fate will have its way.

She waited til her time was spent,

until her hairs ...

Rather than thinking of scary “what ifs”

Thank you for enjoying the present

Or getting lost in the future

Thank you for laughing at silly things

The cool wind soothes an over-heated heart

Like snow on a melting glacier

As sticks bloom with green

The dark fades into light

Winters' chill brings blankets and cosy times

Films stretch long like a lazy rhyme

Bereft of qaulity like a poorly planned crime 

But, more to the point, is the 'family time'

Daffodils warm in sunlight

Animals venture as Birds' fly

If I look at you softly, will you embrace me?

Not with a physical touch, but with gentle words of comfort.

Will you meet me there, in that quiet space between us?

Will you hold space for my vulnerability, without trying t...

Starring out my window this December rainy night,

all I can do is long for you again.

Sometimes I feel I’m over you, like maybe I just might

move on and forget about all that’s been.

But as the raindrops fall, all of the tears I hold inside

come tumbling down as blue skies turn to grey.

And then it doesn’t matter much, how hard I have tried

Agitation eats at my chest due to my un-feathered yearning for this person, she cannot begin to think about what she wants other than the bare necessity of breathing.

                Which implores me to wish she didn’t need to breathe, selfishly, so that I can then be an option for her. I'm sure another necessity would take sprout.

I’m not sure who is the root of the problem. A possible s...

it's a grey morning fog

hazing over the landscape; the person ; love.

it makes distant       .

further away then it really is,

it blurs the lines. 

whispers,, "you are alone "

it's white noise 

hushing the love of the Sun  

drips into the earth between the soft skin of your feet  

makes slippery what you reach for 

An aeonian drab

I wish I was more like her.

The way she searches the stars makes the fireworks seem cursed. 

I felt it since the first time, I laid eyes, I was immersed. 

Her beauty was a habit and her love was like a purge. 

She cured me from my sadness and all the sins I’d stir. 

Trust me it was rebirth, the light inside her soul had given me a burn and then there were her curves.

Come, kiss my lips
where words tremble 
and kisses are reborn

Come and leave it here
on the edge of my skin,
where desire melds with pleasure

Give it to me,
and let it fall like rain
that slips like a secret,
between my skin

Give it to me softly,
in this nightfall,
as I burn
and die for you

He stares at me

As if I could walk away and leave any second

Take my hands and learn me

Read my palms

Open my heart

I give myself to you

Opening me

Know my insides

And my outside

Studying me

Brown and green

A colored pair

Golden specks

I stare back

Harder

Brown curls and blonde locks

When I’m with you

I don't need air

our shoots dance in winds of change

This poem is about a society increasingly divided, where accusations fly and truth seems lost. It speaks to the urgency of listening instead of blaming, understanding instead of judging, and choosing hope over fear. In a world where opinions are quickly voiced and emotions run high, the poem urges a shift in perspective—one that values connection, love, and the strength to find hope, even in diffi...

and the calligraphy of your lips

Make my back a canvas where your heartbeat dwells, 
and let each touch awaken
the echo of the beloved

Write me without words,
without voice, let your hands be the language
and the silence our verse

Let your breath be the spark that ignites the night,
and the fire that marks my flesh,
be memory of your touch

You were standing, coffee steaming 

Misty-eyed in melancholic dreaming 

My heart beating

Your smile, like the breaking of a new dawn 

I stood  forlorn 

My sobriety, a long road of intention

To my ascension 

Our eyes collided, my heart dancing

Entrancing 

My feet had strayed no further than my hometown 

The local clown

Though in my head I'd travelled far & wide...

Just for today, life is gentle
And every moment is a song
In the glow of the moon, in the afternoon breeze
Everything is a secret, but everything is reason

With each step, what can I be?
In the field of time, flowers grow
Only the now, the rest is mist
Just for today, love is a star shining

Ah, if I could keep
The sound of the wind, the taste of color

It was no longer the body I saw
It was the emptiness of its lines
the silence that stretched like an endless night
a night in which beauty is lost
what is cursed
as if beauty were a lie
and the curse, perhaps, a form of love

I saw their gaze, the beautiful and the cursed
not with my eyes, but with absence
Because who feels sees through what’s unsaid
through what dissolves in the words ...

Now and Forever

Barely detectable to those in the vicinity.

A nudge to the conscience at most.

Perhaps it was a glitch in the matrix,

Or an insignificant memory lapse.

She was compassionate and vaguely familiar,

But her name escaped him for now.

She gazed into his pale blue eyes,

Recalling the moment they first met her own.

An instant connection she thought wou...

If my sins had a smell would you sit near me?
I Wouldn't.
The tangy odour of deceit
A concoction of broken promises
The web of lies

A stench that embeds itself in ones skin
Needs more than a fix of TLC
Sorrow is my PLC
Yet it bothers you none

Through the shadow of my heart you see my smile
You feel my delicate underbelly
I am not a stain
I am more

Convinced of my plight

My heart races when I think of you.

In your eyes, I see who I want you to be.

In your arms, I picture me there.

My heart sees what it wants to see.

Seeing you're not real, it pounds anyway.

Out of instinct, want and need.

I remind it that you don't care.

You only have love to take.

With nothing to give in return,

My heart doesn't care.

Still, as sounds flow through me like ripples,

Her metronome voice glows as she talks, leaving a euphoric feeling.

Impossible to break the heart of kindness.

and that was a though one to answer.

I thought about a world with no fear

no fear for my body, no fear for me.

But honestly a world without him,

Your bodily function strikes on simple conditions but your flow is always dependant of the situation.
