A day in the life of a Rose
arousing Spring with divine fragrance
guiding an elegant silky slender stem
through surrounding blankets of green flesh
...
With each day passing
endless thoughts arrived
I walk away and dream
that they have survived
...
We have been wed 30 years together
feels we have known each other forever
celebrating all our happiness
the toasting of lasting togetherness.
...
We see our life through an open door
the truth can be contagious
our defence is pervious
as honest human beings
...
I walked into a dark corridor
of an ageing time past
faded when I greeted slumber.
A nightmare scorned
...
Farewell our Son
he is safe now
a path for him is cleared.
his flesh no longer feel
...
I'm 70 years old
so I've been told
I feel I've grown
with life now I own
...
Life can be valued through fate
A ride through roads at the top of life
Unbalanced, causing chaotic strife
Full of relentless despair
...
A pencil I can be
rough on the edges
they sharpen me
left on the ledges
...
One says, one thinks, but who knows? ,
who cares? , charisma glows
historians, journalists, and friends
opinions divided, dictum's and trends
...
In a life
he is the absence of life,
death is meaningless
we give enough,
...
Laugh so the world can laugh with you
cry and you cry alone
you take out of life what you put in
sorrow walks before you
...
A calm subsides within my shell
sober in mind though still in hell
senses yearn attentive sort
feelings nurtured thoughts abort.
...
A stigma it carries (mental health)
discriminating against all
emotions in society, sending
them to hell and back, but through
...
Let the rain roll down the face
Hiding tears of sadness for
Our grief will come to us
Without even asking, playing
...
You pillaged my mind, how did this start
you syphoned my blood, dry from my heart
you desecrated my soul
and left me in a black hole.
...
Tattoo my mind to the wall
follow the footsteps of fear
trekking thoughts through fostered
mapped motorways of congestion
...
I'm making an application to a life of safety
with markers storing my emotions in cupboards
moods in separate draws, pleasant and unpleasant
in the corner of crowded cobwebs in a pile
...
Brother, I don't know how I'd cope in life
without you, this world and all the strife

To Be A Rose For A Day
A day in the life of a Rose
arousing Spring with divine fragrance
guiding an elegant silky slender stem
through surrounding blankets of green flesh
standing out as being sharp, hardy
therefore attractive, persistently arrogant
possessing a swagger with guile
a no-nonsense approach to
whoever encroach the space
just posing in the garden
flirting, attracting birds, bees
through perfumed aroma
from petals with petulance
fifteen years of growing in the same patch
emerging with young green leaf
sprouting new buds makes a serious
contender for Rose of the year
