THE NEGATIVE THEORY

Views are not accepted

Lives are not protected

Solutions are not drawn

Intelligent minds seem dawn

Answers are rejected

Ambitions are regretted

Attitudes seem odd

Turning as a gourd

Positive turns negative

Recessive but not protective

Darkness falls into light

Bringing sadness be it night

For as time goes by

It shall be good bye

NECESSITY

At the age of five

When I saw all things clearly

And happy children moved by fives

Poor Vivian hid herself shyly

At the age of eleven

While Vivian woke up early

Preparing to go hawking

Neighbouring children prepare for church

And places of interest

When children nicely dressed

In the company of their parents

Leave home in their luxury cars

See Vivian and buy from her

Tears roll down her cheeks

With dirty dress and dusty foot

So tired by long walks

With heavy eyes and slumbering

Puts down the pie tray

To find a place to rest

When shall I overcome

Walking in the scorching sun

Running for shelter during stormy weather

All because of necessity

MOTHERS LOVE LAST

My mother

Outstanding you have shown

Through the sweet scented geisha soap

How caring you have been to me

Every day from my infancy

Real love lasting like geisha soap

Smell all around when with you

Love that lasts forever

Only shown by you mother

Verily just like geisha soap

Enhances me to love you more

Loving mother you are

Affectionate and kind to me

Sweet scents from geisha soap

Travels with me like your love

ALISON ROADBURG

All it takes to be you

Lies in the things you do

In keeping to your dream

So your face will beam

Of what you mean to do

Needs not to have a clue

Reminding you of what to

Opt always for the best

As never may be a rest                                

Dreaming to shine in all

Bringing joy to faces of all

Under the stormy could

Rainfall is ever bound

Got you all there is to be found

LOVE IS?

It is fire, it burns

It is emotion, it yearns

It is wind, it blows

It is light, it glows

It is shrill, it trills

It is precious, it kills

It entertains, it is priceless

It is worth, it values

It is pleasure, it comforts

It torments, it tortures

It is a tale, it fails

It amuses, it wails

It is joy, it is sadness

It convicts, it is a witness

It is pain, it gains

MY NIGHTINGALE

Florence my nightingale

The lady with the lamp

Your words do dingle

Even to the dump

Your beauty stops sorrow

For you are missed tomorrow

It is a wish to kiss you

And show that love for you

For us the church bells dingle

Its you are my nightingale

TODAY’S WISH

Today I would have held your hand tight and feel your softness so

Today I would have hugged you and never let go

Today I would have looked into your eyes like never before

Today I would have you kissed you and asked for more

Today I would have been naked like the world is only us

Today I would have clinged to you to never part us

Today I would have surrender my love to you

Today It would have been forever me and you

Today I would have been by you so wet

Today I would have been as my dream felt

Today I would have asked for a wish that is you.

Today It would have been me and you.

HOPE

When the dawn breaks, it is with hope

When the sun comes up, it is with hope

When the sun goes down, it is with hope

When it nears dusk, it is with hope

When clouds form, it is with hope

When the rain drops, it is with hope

When a flower grows, it is with hope

When a fruit ripens, it is with hope

When we find love, it is with hope

When we lose love, it is with hope

When one is born, it is with hope

When one from us departs, it is with hope

When in every experience change, it is with hope

When life’s reality comes, it is with hope

When in living a hopeful life, it is with hope.

When hoping hopes, it is with hope.
