    Poem: My Dear Readers – 20/12/19

     I sit back and wonder to myself,
 who you all are,
 where you come from, 
 how you’re feeling,
 what brings you to my world?
  
 I wish I could see each of your faces,
 greet you with happiness for allowing me 
 a portion of your day
 where I can feature with my words
 and hopefully sentimentally reach you,
 or perhaps prove as strident and bold, 
 or maybe I’ll make you smile your seconds away.
  
 I appreciate the moments you take 
 to read of how I think,
 presenting what means something to me,
 I appreciate you and you and you and you, 
 Why, every single being.

    Prose Poetry: A Bouquet of Fronds – 15/10/19

    You, my dear, are like a bouquet of colourful, delightful fronds. Rare in my life and treasured and adored, I hold you close like this exquisite leafy arrangement, because of our love I am truly assured. Need not there be gifts of diamonds and gold, of precious gemstones set in shining silver — those gifting days have long passed. I caress you, like the bunch of bright and perfumed foliage to my chest, and breathe you in, your precious, peculiar scent. The heady perfume that you create without even batting an eyelid, a resonance felt in my heart as I inhale, then heavily exhale and once more, I breathe you in. I draw in as much as I can from your loving presence in my life, and know intuitively that unlike the glorious bouquet that you happily presented to me, your existence in my life will never be fleeting. You, my love, will always be mine.
