The wind blows. It stops at your face ..... You lift your eyes to her gaze... The mirror reveals a new pulchritude... A sigh of beauty to every word..
Irridescent bursts of smiles and laughter delude The closeness to a happily ever after...
Now the summers gone.....the winter belongs. All words and feelings are born again...
Like adopted sons and daughters they march into the same hall, Where there lay objects of amusement and tease for a forgotten bright and beautiful fall!
i wish i could save you from the laws that bind your soul... to whisper in your being that they cannot control you... i wish you leisure and pleasure when work burdens your bones.. to breathe the knowledge that you have will to choose...
i wish life was easier on you... to hope that pain lifted its weight from your eyes... i wish you look at a heart and smile... to never need anything but God in the cross and in the light!
light makes her appearance in rare moments... no shades for such endurance..... even if it seems to take over the soul....it must be done over control...
shadows faithful, follow these paths we trek... losing us as we walk in sometimes pirouettes... sulking and lonely... laughing and crowded.. these are the twists of paths.. these are the burdens we ask....
....till the soul finds a crown....and the soul is free again.
A fresh rose came on a good day in December! She budded but bloomed in late December. And as it grew in this garden thus, The other flowers were to her unjust.
The Rose resisted and silently waited, Bearing the taunts and scorns untainted. Uncaring of her bright attire, She rose to do what others desire.
Then, one sweet day came jostling by, A Lover of flowers came to this rose nigh And instead of plucking it from the stem, Unrooted this impeccable gem.
Went she to a special place Where she alone could be! And bringing smiles to every face She, alone,could reflect and free!
Dedicated to my sister and friend, Giselle Monteiro(1970-1997) December 1997
you could never be....
you could never be beautiful as i recall your arrogance, you never knew humble... these days your face fades into a cold room of indifference...
we had nothing familiar yet you guised every word... i see now why we never met .... i sigh now, relieved in this silent threat...
if fate hands me a clone i will smile and turn the other way... for what good would your rejection be if not for my freedom?
