Memories

When i smell the white talcumsmeared across the soft bumsof the new born child,held tenderlyBy her protective mother’s armsacross my verandah,I think of her When i sight my morning porridgemixed in a sluggish slurby the chequered breakfast tableIn my morning rushi think of Farexyesteryears and beyond,I think of her… When I step across my landing

Me the candlelight

I am but a meek candle light Sleeping invisibly Cradled deep within The shiny brass candle stand Upon the wooden mantelpiece Right in the centre Of the decorative room Almost like a firm fulcrum To the entire universe.
