Intricate

 Painstakingly hand-crafted  ......

My right hand shakes when BP’s high,

Plus, I've no vision in one of my eyes,

These limitations contribute to the resulting shapes,

That from imperfections arise.

The Safer Option

 

Is Silence The Safer Option Or A Cowardly One?

This poem essays the dilemma faced by the protagonist when they come face-to-face with the acts of weaponized cruelty and bias crime.
They have been brought up in a faith that encourages speaking out against injustice.
If the protagonist takes a stand against the above, they know that there is the possibility of trouble for themselves, their lives changing drastically.
The protagonist is anxious and fearful and questions if they will be protected by their God if they follow the path set out by Him.
If they choose the path of silence, will they be acting out of cowardice?

From Monochrome In 2022-2023 To Colour in 2023-2024

 

In September 2022 I completed 10 Years as a childless widow. 

To commemorate that landmark, I dedicated the past 12 months to innumerable pen sketches in stark Black and White with the tag line: 

"With the abject darkness given,

Beauty I sought to create, 

Made slits in that canvas of black,

To allow light to infiltrate."

In September 2023, I embarked on a new series of pen sketches, in the colours that I love.

When It Comes To You, What Will Be, Will Be

 

Is It In My Destiny?

 "What was hidden in my heart,

Now on my lips a-quiver,

Awaiting a window of opportunity,

To it, to its recipient deliver."

A Contract Of The Soul?

 "Is there a thing called 'soul-mates'?

Is there 'past life affiliation'?

Do 'twin flames' exist,

Looking for reconciliation?"

With Friends Like These!
