THIS IS MY SUNNY SUNSHINE (new poem)

THIS IS MY SUNNY SUNSHINE

A day full of joy

A day full of hope

A day full of faith

A day minus the jibes

This is my day with all the good vibes

This is my day of total bliss and joy

The sunny sunshine

This is our day of love

A love so divine

The sunny sunshine

Oh be mine!

Who knows where this will lead us?

Where our love grows

Time and time

Alone can be ours

Hearts and hearts

Beating as one

Not alone

The sunny sunshine

All golden

Beholden

The starry nights

Shining for us so bright

Bright, bright

The sunny sunshine

Golden rays

Gladdening, never saddening

Oh the warmth the heat

That we can never beat!

My vision, vision

My mission, mission

You’re the one for me

And one day we’ll meet

And I know that you are out there waiting

Waiting, waiting

Oh the vision of the dream

Knowing that you’ll be so close to me

One day, some day

Hey, hey

I’ve my arms and heart

Wide open

For you, you!

So boy oh boy

Cos I feel like I need to bellow

 Oh yellow, yellow

Bright and breezy

Make it easy

Make it crystal clear

And be so near

I love you

Love you from this distance

No matter what the distance

I’ll be here waiting

Waiting for you

No matter what it takes!

We’ll make our own mistakes

Along this long, long road

But we have been told

To be patient, be still

It’ll happen in its own good time

So for now my love

Who’ll be sent from above!

The sweetest of dreams

Till we meet

A happy greet

And just remember my heart and arms

Are open wide for you!

MISCONCEPTIONS

MISCONCEPTIONS

Fallacies

Deluded

Words and myths and legends

You have been deceived

Lied about

Lied too

Mistake have been made

Fooled in all their tricks

That you are guilty

The one who has made the mistakes

Oh what a fool I feel right now!

They have cheated me

Mislead me, conned me, and fooled me

Oh those grown ups

Who think and believe what is best for me

But I cannot argue with them

They are my elders

They just do not like this

You and I all alone

If only, if only

They would be here all alone

See, watch

This is for real

This is no fantasy

This is reality

Here and now

My hand touching your nose

So wet and soft

You are sitting quietly

And gently

It is like you know

Understand

Comprehend

Dad taught me that word

I kept pestering him because he kept saying it

Adults!

They have a lot to learn

For now this moment I shall treasure

Then mum and dad can come next time

Maybe we can work out a rhyme

So that they can find

What has been on my mind!

HONOURED AND PRIVILEDGED

HONOURED AND PRIVILEDGED

I feel honoured and privileged

You made the move

Towards me

This is such bliss

Never been so happy

You circled around me

Time and time again

Still alert sharp, honed

In with all your senses

Then all of a sudden

You just sat by me

Oh such glee

Within this heart

Tears of joy, bliss happiness

So many emotions overwhelming me

Then all of a sudden

You ran and ran

Then you were gone

Right out of sight

Then silence, stark silence

The greyness prominent

Cold, cold air

Damp thick misty air

Now I am feeling the chill in the air

Why, why? What went wrong?

Nothing on my part surely!

I stand for a while

Wondering whether to go or to stay

Should I wait? Or should I go?

Then the silence is broken

From a distance, coming closer and closer

The howling, the barking

Nearer and nearer, I stand so still

Too frightened to move

I see not just one wolf coming towards me

But a whole pack by the looks of things

I dare not move, they are all around me

Sniffing, sniffing, their ears sharp

I dare not speak or make a sound

Eyes wide piercingly alert

The whites of their eyes

So scary to say the least

I am not looking down

I will let them make the move

They are gentle to the touch, warm so friendly

As if they are accepting me

Jostling for a space to get near

I am not feeling any fear, this is a great honor

A privilege

So up close and personal

COLD, NAKED, FORLORN

COLD, NAKED FORLORN

Lost in a maze of darkness

Everything around me is dashing

Rushing, hustling, bustling

Hurried

No one seems to stop

And look

At the forlorn maiden in distress

Huddled

Curled up just like a baby

Weeping, crying

Right out loud

No one can hear her

In this strange, strange

Forgotten place

Dark so dark

Enough to break anyone down

To the skin and bone

This awful night

Foggy, smoggy and murky

Vaporous

Eerie

Feeling all around

Not a light is shown

From the front of the castle

Dark and dingy

Cold and clammy

Why oh why

Don’t they hear her sounds?

My friend is sat on the icy, icy snow

Crying pitifully

I am staying by her side

All the way through the

Fog

The snow

The rain

Never will I leave her side

Protecting, guarding

Growl if I have too

Ward of the evil

The predatory

Marauding

That could be lurking in this mist

Ne’er worry my lady

I am here right by your side

Never to leave

Here for all eternity

SWEET HUMMMING BIRD

SWEET HUMMING BIRD

Oh little hummingbird

So beautiful, so tiny

 And oh so fragile

With wings that shine

With the colours of a rainbow

So brightly

And wings of gold spread out so wide

I see from the beauty of mine own eye

How that you fly

What do you see in me so?

That keeps you looking on at me?

Maybe that we both see a beauty

That we both possess

In both our own eyes

From flower to flower

You hover

Collecting the sweet, sweet nectar

That is so desired

And full of power

Sweet Hummingbird

A symbol of the spreader of life

On this earth

And of rebirth

A bringer of peace

You may be small

But have the power

Of an eagle

When needed to protect

Your family

Your reputation is powerful

Held in a high regard

From every Tribal Nation

Across this New World

The United States of America

Sweet, sweet Hummingbird

That will endure

Through life

Eternally
