The Scent of a Flower

Attracted to you by your beauty and grace,

Floral scent to lure those to their fate,

Feminine appearance of sweetness and affection,

Aphrodite of love and beauty....

Mushroom Cloud

An island in a sea of ivy,

A mushroom growing high,

Spreading out over,

Like a mushroom cloud in the sky,

Just a stalk connecting it to the ground,

 

Aviator

Flyer I am, 

With my go faster stripes,

Humming wings,

That sing with the wind,

A pilot of the sky,

With my Aviators on,

To protect my eyes,

A fighter with a sting,

Top Gun Maverick,

I have become ...... 

Mother Nature Life and Death

Dying leaves on a forest floor,

Fallen from the branches up above,

Decomposing  down on the ground,

Becoming part of the woodland again,

With fungi growing within the moss,

Ivy leaves creeping by,

Warmed by the sun light from a high,

See No, Speak No, Hear No

Perhaps it is best to just sleep,

Reality,

Not to see what is happening in the current times,

To keep my opinions silenced,

Not to hear the opinions of politicians or public criticizing,

Unprecedented times, unknown outcomes,

Be kind, be thoughtful and think of others,

My thoughts and condolences are with all who have suffered a loss of a loved one or friend through the covid-19 pandemic,

Respect....

Singapore Sling

 

I recall my tale of a Singapore Sling,

As my bartender Boon prepares a gin,

Slinging in the ingredients into the cocktail glass,

Sat in Raffles eating some peanuts,

Discarding the shells were they fell,

A punchy drink that went down well,

Night skies

Looking up at the sky at night,

A beautiful sight,

Shooting stars grace the sky,

Constellations in the skies,

Guiding many with zodiac predictions,

Through out the cycle of life,

Dreams and desires,

Heartbreak and pain,

Throughout the universes great plan,
