GRANDMOTHER

G orgeous strands of plaited silver hair gently kiss the nape of her neck as she

R ocks in her chair to the rhymes that mimic her life

A smile dances across her as she lovingly embraces a silhouette of storms

N urturing, beautifully weathered antique hands sprawled around her cane, the other tapping to tunes that prevailed her struggles

D ancing to turbulent melodies of joyful and sorrowful tears, that have dropped on the pavement of

M oonlit pathways that led her proudly strutting through dusk’s road

O nward to succession, strapped with the Almighty as her fierce weapon

T ireless tears of gratitude flow from eyes obtaining wisdom through valuable lessons

H igh above the clouds she soared with wings over fields of renegades

E minently she militantly marches in her final procession

R ocking serenely to lullabies that sing tunes of eternal rest

Manifestations Of love

Love is the rhythm of my pulse,

Beating like an African drum

That leaves me locked in a trance,

Dancing ecstatically to my heartbeat

Until Earth completely revolves around the Sun,

And night says farewell to dawn.

It beams within my soul

I thrive off its sweet melodic tone

I am dazed by its miraculous lullaby

It is my hypnotic remedy to escape,

That sends me into a tranquil paradise.

It calls my name, and seizes my thoughts,

And joyfully leaps into my consciousness,

To obtain absolute attentiveness.

It brings a pleasurable ambiance,

That leaves me in a joyous frenzy,

As my hearts sways to its’ beat,

That claps and roars like thunder.

And yet it can shift to a harmony so sweet,

Gentle, and serene that I become tranquilly captivated

Until I am carelessly stagnated in time,

Infinitely intertwined in its roots of thick bliss
