Nature Speaks

 

Whispers of the wind in the midnight sky.

The night belongs to being free and loved.

Sitting on the bench enjoying the night sounds.

The creatures say hello to all with different key notes,

as if an orchestra is reciting one of Mozart's piece..

The air so rich and crisp that smell like pine trees.

Smell like the earth, where matters exist.

Seeing shadows play hide and seek, the light from the moon,

gives a clear picture, of lovers enjoying a moment of

embracing, kissing and wanting more from each other.

The stars that twinkle, forming constellations of two hearts.

Memories of long nights, the midnight hour of romance,

entwined with bitter sweet good byes.

With a touch of essence, that embraced humanity,

and nature. With all possibilities existing to conquer fear.

Soothing music mesmerized the mind, that capture the soul

in this midnight hour.

Feeling secured that life can be beautiful,

as the atmosphere is still, it lingers on

with the soft breeze of the countryside,

that makes life worth living and dreams

everlasting.

 

 

A Moment Of Bliss

 

Walking on the beach, where foot prints in the sand make patterns,

as if following a path that leads to nowhere.

The moon so bright it’s midnight, the time that

fantasies and dreams come alive.

A night meant for two, holding each other tight.

Hands clasped as if holding on for safety,

assuring each other of never letting go.

A bond never to be broken.

As the waves crashed onto the shore,

the moment has come.

The kiss of tangled tongues, as if searching for answers.

A sense of security was found.

The midnight madness continued for hours.

Embracing, touching, two bodies as one,

silhouetted on the diamond sand.

The smell of the sea breeze lingered.

Creating an atmosphere of passion, consenting love.

The chilly air felt good as voices complimented each other.

Holding on as if life depends on it.

Holding on to a future that answered YES!!!.

The foot prints to remember the path,

got washed away.

But this moment is real, it happened,

and it’s here to stay.

 

 

Story Time

 

Remembering the good old days of growing up.

When twigs was used for Christmas trees,

and toilet paper wrapped around each branch

and put in a pan filled with stones.

And decorated with bells too.

Running around, playing, getting bruised knees.

Eating non stop, but not sure where the food went.

Rounders, moral, pitch, cricket and foot ball.

Those were the day, But around midnight,

stories were told, sitting anywhere was the plan.

In one room. A dim light and the stories began.

From folklore to vampires and unsolved mysteries.

For those that couldn’t handle it run to your bed.

Some of them eyes bulging, mouth open, others crouched.

Blocking their faces, stiff as nail afraid to move.

Heart pounding and screams can be heard.

Shivers and cold sweat, poor children,

but they want to be brave.

The midnight terror that’s the name.

No pity for them, they want to hear about,

stories at midnight, but on weekends though.

No school, so they up trying to be heroes.

Trying to survive, no one can save them.

Is either in or out, because no one wants

to sleep in a dark room.

So they prefer to stay in the room,

hear the stories,

and let fright grip their hearts.

But that’s the way to get them strong,

Once they misbehave, put them in the room,

Start the story time, make them listen.

Cause if they don’t, they will learn a

valuable lesson.
