Lock Down

Isolation for some, has been scary,

While for others, it's been ordinary,

Confined to home, has been a vast blessing,

Got me exploring skills amidst stressing.

All around people are in great panic

Shopping and rushing in movements manic.

Confinement increases self protection,

Granting families time, build connection.

This pandemic got the world in crisis

Yet, brought true silence, better than isis.

Families mourn, death toll soar, "God help us!"

The world exclaims, there's so much to discuss.

Isolation to home, firmly welcome,

Pursue civil retreat, all months to come.

Waitikubuli

Have you looked upon this island?
Have you explored it's great treasures?
Ever traced trails though the Forest?
Then come visit my island home!

Afloat upon the calm ocean 
She sits regal and undisturbed.
Magnificent are her summits
Embraced by the clouds lovingly.
Impressive are her true beauty
Once eyes laid upon her, favored
She becomes, when her Paradise 
Are explored. Proud, grand, she stands rich!

The confusion had will be cleared
For she's unlike any other
Highly blessed, she's not polluted,
Her trees works effective, clean air.
Basking in clean streams or sea spray,
Relax in healing earth waters,
Dance in joy beneath the drizzle
Or in it's cool out pouring rain.

The middle of Caribbean,
Tiny but vast majestic stand,
Picturesque shrubs a distraction 
Forever engraved in your hearts!
Never a dull moment, my gem
Saddle up, make plans, come visit.
Lots to do and explore, don't fret
Warm welcomes truly awaits you!

Hope Adrift

Like ships afloat upon the sea
Aspect of faith like tides roams free.
The silver moon pours light upon
Fearful hearts, that's wandering on.

The subtle breeze directs the sails
Ponder worries, prayer never fails.
Starry skies twinkling designs
Guide along horizon confines.

Gliding slowly, no shores insight
Tiny outlook breeds peace long night, 
Off-track upon the ocean blue
Find faith in God, different view!

Gentle movement, from side to side
Left paranoid, rippling tide,
Despite fear, new morning arise
And with it gratitude surprise.

Small relief glide from horizon
Intense emotion start risin.
Beneath a vast sky, led astray
Belief of refuge, pray found way!

Sensual Beauty

Serene and cool the gentle breeze,
Caress across, my warmish skin.
Peace detected, so undisturbed,
Scene to enjoy, it brings new hope.

From the east, slowly arisen
Emerge like woman, from ocean 
Brighten up the broad horizon
Each ray, lighten day gracefully.

Down the west, along horizon
Slowly dip to rest, fair setting.
Light rays, create an illusion 
Nature respect, warm glow golden.

Actions & Words

Question asked provoked reflection 

How genuine thy affection?

Good natured heart, misfortune brings

Mistrust intentions, effort sings.

Cryptic

Viewing nature, foretell great mysteries, 
Turn pages of tales, made vast histories,
Man's nature, so mischievous,
Behaving all to grievous,
Questions, radiant hearts to sow deceit 
Leading distressed humans to their defeat.

Hopeless Romantic

It's not for lack of finding dates 
But lack of finding true romance.
Don't need no fancy allurements,
But desire genuine chance.

Loaded glance, a welcome tingle,
Delicate caress, sweet embrace 
Sweet nothings whispered, too single
Passion wild, I seek adventure! 

No time for games, future's crucial 
Old fashioned flame I desire
My beloved interest essential 
Intense emotion require
Set ablaze like true wildfire!

Territorial Lover

She let down her guard, for a chance at love
But lingering unease she's thinking of
Is this worth it, this possession called love?

This bond unique, don't deserve suspicion 
Yet, queries raised, ignites intuition,
What's the condition for this ambition?

Considered vastly, all your confession,
Infatuation breeds all aggression
Therefore illusion cause bad impression.

Seat and wonder, why you're so distrustful?
Am I disgraceful or you're too lustful?
It's all painful spite, find you mistrustful!

Please, beloved, take time, make time to reflect,
Admire your vast wish to love and protect,
Respect freely given, distrust reject!

Our connection, never to question
Conversations to direct suggestions,
Explanations given love digestion,
Suspicious reaction brings congestion!

Daily arose, begin each day with praise

He's worthy of all gratitude always

Creation, his love declares 

His love shown in answered prayers

My fears, aches and dismay, to him will raise

Stand amaze, giving thanks you, all my days!

Thinking

Laid back in bed, at early dawn
Ponder future, the value vast
Pleasurable site, gaze upon
Devotion thrives, a drifting past

Smile of pleasure, objectives gained,
Image of future express thought 
Bound to love, doubt obtained
The woman for thee, I am not.

Adore thee, yes, undisputed 
Wonder at your admiration 
Admired morals saluted
Grateful for all this sensation.

Sensual Storm

A sultry evening fully charged,
An opened window left enlarged,
Off to bed, the fans turn quickly,
Midnight storms, they rolled in thickly.

Awoke with fright, Loud Rumbling,
Raindrops, all softly tumbling,
Numbing air, caress fevered skin
Delightful sighs purrs free within.

Provocative musing crumbled,
Shameless fantasy out stumbled,
Crashing waves desire uproar
Soothing liberation implores!

Bleak dawn heeded humid morning,
Despite all beautiful warning,
It's pleasurable when storming
But lush with rainbow, performing!

Deep Rooted Ambitions

The compassionate gal they unvalued 
Her ambitions and drive they derided
But she aim never, for rejects settle
No compromise, her targets not petite!
So like the strong tree, stand unshakeable 
With roots that's stubbornly unmovable,
Her musings, accused to vast, she's humbled
Respecting many, she almost stumbled.
Uplifting personage like roots inspire,
Contentment to endure and to secure,
She stand grounded, a bright future welcomed
Anchored firmly with heartfelt prayers, progress
Established leads her to vast happiness!

Ode to Roses

Roses reveal pure love to all,
But to me, show impressive strength. 
Planted solid besides odds tall,
Grace empowers in its stemmed length.

Rich in fragrance, every fold,
A rose admirably where stands.
Through intense or pleasant winds hold
Remain steadfast in all hard lands.

Sharing sweet love to a sad heart
This Ode to Rose should give you hope
See what set the Roses apart
In grief, don't mope, find ways to cope!

Mother

A nurturing, hardworking, loyal gal.

You taught how to be a caring human,

Considerate to others and all you met,

Empathic to all brothers and sisters alike.

Extend support to all who seek, 

Strong queen remains,

You deserve all love and blessing, 

All-day every day!

Forgive

Never an easy feat, but to gain peace

Examine self, confer with God and cease

All consuming malice and rage, for God

Has always been compassionate to us!

Frustration

Just a touch from you, keeps me calm

Yet, a touch, ignites wild fire,

Our charm explodes like a bomb.

Your lips and voice, fans desire

Just a kiss, feelings unstable

That trust and loyalty inspire.

Doubts develop, I'm unable

To keep my distress, unspoken

Faithfulness brings peace, stay stable.

Actions and words, left me broken

Promised to move on, no turn back

But left behind a small token

Despair, torment, subtle attack

Love's  a letdown, regret in black!

Peace

Just before the break of dawn

While everyone dosses on

True contentment i attain

My accomplishments not vain.

Anxiety

Sit beneath a quiet shading

Ponders everything persuading

Overwhelming always clever

Judgement floats around forever.

Imagination, twists and turns

Endless chatter trigger concerns

Fears limits all the potential

Attitude of non essential.

Lack of slumber, presents conflict

Self motivation to restrict

Uncertainties the sense confined

Old hurts sip pass, friendship declined.

Constant probe, suffocate all truth

Tears set me free, the pain it sooth.

Stony Staircase

Walk out to ocean, this stony pathway,

Folk story declare, twas a snakes byway,

Climbed from sea, wormed onto the hidden cave

Men explored and commune, the knowledge crave

This legend lives on, even to this day!

Along the horizon, dawn caught away

Rides in with glory, it's mystic gateway

Morning shines hope on, the soul of each brave

Walk out to ocean, this stony pathway.

Mist rises, the ocean hides the doorway

Relish the cold evening, welcome skies grey,

The lava flow stairway, the surf well lave

Presents a view, foretell of gifts we save

The moon radiates rich, dream day can't stay

Walk out to ocean, this stony pathway!

Gratitude

Another week has come and gone
Great blessings, this new morning dawn
Regardless aches, defeats, and doom
Breathe gratitude throughout this gloom
For life endures, hope cheers us on

Huge delight from nature live on
His virtue showed honor upon
Every creation to whom
Another week has come and gone.

Struggles and challenges, hold on
Obstacles and failures feed on
Grow in strength, don't let hate consume
Forgive others, love will resume
Vast or wee, gratitude lives on 
Another week has come and gone.

Freedom & Loyalty

This morning, love, so rapt and calm

Gently soaring, the heavens free

Soothing chippers, a welcome balm

Pondering minds sweet bliss it brings.

Humbled with reserved gracefulness,

Your unshakable bond admire

Yearn for a promise faithfulness

To, no demise, last forever.

My belief in intimacy

Such genuine and supportive

Great confidence this bird has shown.

Endeavor, never giving up.

Construct safe haven durable!

Dream Wedding

A silly dream that left a smiling me

I pray it becomes a reality 

But for now, reminisce on what could be.

Began as friends, turned frenemies to lovers

We're not the same, we're not under covers 

E'ry feats, our journey discovers.

A smile, a kiss, filled me up with delight 

Innocent dreams fill my night, feels so right

Flowing train, a sight to behold in white 

One man, one woman, with a love that's true

Beneath a clear, summer azure sky blue

Hearts and soul embrace in love, say I do!

Promises made, sincerely the love's pure

To vow faithfulness, all lust to endure

Fall not for no allure, remain mature!

My waist enclosed within your tight embrace

Hold me dear, don't let me slip from this place

Wake from this dream, an urge to see your face.

Laid back, still in bed, all felt oh so real

You walked in, smiled bright, kissed and seal the deal.

Sweet Kiss

I daydream and reminisce 

About that night months ago

I miss your sweet kiss!

Even if I tried, I couldn't dismiss

The feelings evoked within me,

I daydream and reminisce. 

Our love is bliss

Distance only enhance it,

I miss your sweet kiss!

Memories as precious as this

Makes me appreciate everything,

I daydream and reminisce.

Seems strange to reminisce 

But the memories are always close,

I miss your sweet kiss!

On a night like tonight, you I surely miss

Hearts pounding, breaths mingled, sweet embraces

Fevered with dreams so sweet as this

I miss your sweet kiss!

 Prompt was to write a poem about a specific place, I chose my home community village. 

My Life

Like a motion picture, my life unfold

Inner strife and great challenges untold,

I searched and discovered peace

my innermost turmoil cease

The chapters of my life, the future hold!

Through every journey that passes by

Grow firmer like the eagle in the sky.

Set goals, work to achieve them

Averse opinion condemn

My discovered peace, lifted me on high!
