day break
the stray peeps through
my bedroom window

I am a woman
I bear the fruit
But
I am also the tree
That gives the shade
I am
A woman
I know you care
as I age
so do you
as my hair turn grey
I can see your silver locks too
my eyes wrinkle as I smile
so do yours
my back hurts and my joints creak
I can see you popping a pill too
I love to grow old with you
I adore the camaraderie we share
is it still love or companionship
but whatever it is
I know you care
a perfect sunset…
Life’s hiccups
Small roadblocks
On an otherwise perfect road
Stop,breathe,envision
And go on
Into the perfect sunset
wormhole
lazing in the shadows
of the cedar tree
the cool mountain air
and the sun dappled parasol
a perfect moment in time
and
I wish for a wormhole
to travel back
into time
to a similar moment
with a younger me
snuggling in my mother’s lap
and dreaming
what the future will hold
Fifties
Ah! How I love my fifties
My looks are good enough for me
And
I don’t need male glances
To tell me
I am beautiful
never unhappy
pull yourself together
retreat
into your soul
breathe mindfully
and
you will never be unhappy again
an irresolute attribute
beauty
is an irresolute attribute
for
at its prime
instills vanity
but when it fades
it gives way
to a diffident old age
a beautiful soul
it’s God’s gift
when you have good looks
and people love you
but
what about the beautiful soul
which is
always overlooked
Lost poetry
“where did you go?”
I asked my poetry
“you went…
in the search of greener pastures ”
she replied…
