Short Poems-2

There will be a day
When light will shine
Freedom will laugh
And Peace,will settle on every body's chest
Up high

~~~~

If I find the true essence of love
In my finger tips
Like a ray of sun
That is peeking from the windowsill

I will open all of my senses
To a fascinating journey
Around love and trust

~~~~

Anxiety
Tiredness
Depression
Worries
Despair
And the feeling of abandonment
Are the shadowy disguise of broken hopes

~~~~

Hold the moon in your thoughts
Whenever you are alone
In the darkness

~~~~

My lips were pursed as flower buds

My eyes closed in a moment of sinking
Into his eyes

My skin felt warm with his touch
When I saw myself laying next to him
On a garden bench

His hair on my face
My hands on his shoulders
His lips closed on mine
And the intense rhythms of my heart
So tender

Suddenly
I opened my eyes with a sparkle of virtue
And suppressed all his greed into his soul
That I am a “woman”
A woman of her own rights
A woman to be cherished and to be loved
Not only to be kissed and fantasized
