A Captivating Evening

-

Drizzled light falling on snow flaked branches;
A marvellous year full of memories, both hers and his. 

Shiny ornaments hung on corner trees,
a wonderful moment to savour and seize. 

Mellow lights and shadows bringing cheer,
people indulging in extravagance to make life happier. 

Shiny wooden tables reflecting the spotlight,
drinks guzzled and dinner cherished with every bite. 

Romantic couples taking their time and space, 
with joyous chatter and excitement on their face. 

Lingering there with wine filled, swirling glasses and savouring food, 
all through the evening, a congenital vibe and a soothing mood. 

Soft music floating through the air;
With each other, delightful nostalgia we get to share. 

Short stairway leading up to a heavenly meal;
Something that means to us, a great deal. 

Fine dining with crowds getting noisy;
Drift away! The night is still young and so are we.

The Lonely Stone Statue

-

Floating along on a lonely raft, Lost and alone in the sea so vast. Without a care, In and out of consciousness she spotted a fading mountain in the middle of nowhere. Floating closer glimpses of brown through the thick lazy fog she could see.  A Calloused mountain above the restless waves standing proudly. Flanked with green she crossed the heavy mountain, A mammoth task to pull herself through the thick and thin. On the edge, reaching almost the top she noticed a figure, A cold, lone statue she recognised as though it called out to her.  Not knowing what to say, She warmed it in a heartfelt embrace hoping to bring it back to life someday. Slowly she slipping off as though a push with a rough gale, Leaving it behind with a face so pale. As she fell, she stared solemnly ahead into the eyes of the cold, emotionless stone she adored, Unaware of the sorrow it had lured. Below she fell into the sea of depression to drown in her own tears, Leaving behind her worldly fears.  As she hit and s

A Snowflake

  A snowflake drifted wearily towards the earth from the early morning sky, soft sunlit rays streaming down and adding a glow up high.  Towards the earth it drifted weightlessly, suddenly caught and stuck on a warm tall chimney.  Moving gently and ever so slow,  it rolled down the rooftop with a drop of melted snow.  It slid down the window pane, onto the glass and stuck again.  Inside the tranquil, neat home, well kept and pristine, warm cookies, half burnt candles and a Christmas tree could be seen.  A couple nestled on the sofa looking sadly at their foster son, sitting by the tree.  Small child playing with an old toy eager to open gifts and see.  For it might be their last family Christmas together,  as he might be taken away and into foster care by the end of December.  Innocent child opening gifts with a bright grin, oblivious to the grief and playing with his new toys with full attention.  Quiet Christmas morning while the little child was sitting on the floor, a lady from the

The Day Ends

   Touching the earth through the clouds out comes a golden ray, Rising sun, dawn of day. Sweet child your eyes open ever so slightly, Blinded by the sunlight so bright and shiny. Pulled into a waking state, Staring into a new day and a blank slate. Blend in with nature taking little pleasures so true, As the garden leaves fall from trees under the sky ever so blue. Flow through the hustle bustle of the day, Bring home your light as the day fades away.  Setting sun into the water at the bay, Along the drive waves crash and flow away. Soft light rays that kiss the water, Just like the father feels for his daughter.  Flying Sail of a sailboat bathed in the suns rays,  Rich against the sky lit backdrop covered in haze. The sky is a mystery of colours Orange and pink,  Beautifully reflected into the sea waters and then they sink. The sun plays hide and seek with the clouds before it fades away, The Day slows down as darkness hi
