Do you know the land, where the lemon-trees grow, Among darkened leaves crimson-lychees glow, A mellow wind swings from the pale blue sky, The myrtle stands mute and the oak tree high? Do you know the house, It has columns and beams, There are the hallway gleams and glittering rooms, Are those marble figures looking… Continue reading Simple Pride

The Sweetest Burden
Whenever my heartbeats out of rhythm, I secretly blame you, my friend! like a violet in the meadow grew, Bowed to earth, and hid from view: what a strange melody, oftentimes, you’ve sung to my heart's sentiments. Are you caught by bonny youth By that beloved form and fresh dew, By those eyes seem so… Continue reading The Sweetest Burden
A Good Life
When daisies pied and violets azure And mayflowers all milky-white, When cuckoo-buds burst out first yellow hue, Do paint the meadows with your choice of pursue. My friends, the things I do admire In a good life be these, I find: The work decent, efforts spent without pain, The leisure plenty, is squandered without shame,… Continue reading A Good Life
To Eternity, tonight
If I am allowed of heartfelt honesty, I cherish neither my profession nor education, they are dust and ash in my truthful eyes; If I am allowed of blatant sincerity, I am of deprived both ambition and direction, they mean nothing to a woman who dwells in infinity of time. If I am to be… Continue reading To Eternity, tonight
BlancheFleur – a woman’s soul
Softly, in the mist of moonlight, a woman is singing to me, black feet-long hair with a smile so genteel; taking me back down the vista of years, still I see a child sitting behind the grand oak tree, accompanied by the drowsy eyes of blooming leaves, and harbored within a thousand impossible dreams, when… Continue reading BlancheFleur – a woman’s soul
Metamorphosis
I'd love my world be a freshly painted fresco, And I be blessed with the genius of Michelangelo, where I see a fair angel in the marble and carve relentlessly till I set him free; where coloured shapes and misplaced hallows of aged, ineffectual lives melt into white flowers blowing carelessly in the wind, And… Continue reading Metamorphosis
Spring Serenade
Beauty are the days that quietly slip away, and night stars brightening never in delay, Velvet blue, silent true, whispering words of long lost lullabies, one shade the more, one ray the less, even my darkest shadow rests now in her nameless grace. When the night draws near, it fills my heart with such dreams… Continue reading Spring Serenade
The Longest Distance in The World
The longest distance in the world, Is not between life and death, But when I stand in front of you, Yet you don't even know that I love you. The longest distance in the world, Is not when I stand in front of you Yet you can't see my love, But when undoubtedly knowing the… Continue reading The Longest Distance in The World
Nameless Joy
My heart beating rhythmless, swiftly to arise! Faster even than thought it was done. starring evening cradled tender earth beneath, And night hung over the mountain cone. Already peeking at early dawn lights, Springtime’s rose-beauty glow, it shone upon about lovely faces, lit brightly for me to praise! From a river of clouds the Moon… Continue reading Nameless Joy
Spring Epiphany
Oh why is heaven built so far, And why is earth made so vast? I cannot touch the nearest star Which hangs afloat and greets me often. I was to be weaned from the light of shadows, They were to beautify my life no longer. What they call Fate, inexorable forever, I know it well:… Continue reading Spring Epiphany
Heaven On Earth
I was pale out of weariness, Of climbing heaven and glancing back on earth. Sliding through heavy clouds and among the glittery stars, I imagined a different birth, One that’s ever changing, like joyful eyes. dreaming above rainbows, I entertained a different faith, One that’s ever changing, like careless youth. I once sang to spring… Continue reading Heaven On Earth
Nordic Lullaby
Life can show you mercy,it can tear your soul apart.You've walked a lonely road,how far you’ve been from home?May it be when the moon smiles,you come to me with tales of days in goodness spent.May it be when the darkness falls,your heart will again be pure and true.May there be an evening star shine upon… Continue reading Nordic Lullaby
Such Warmth
Outside the leaves swing in darkness and the rain drip in lyrical tandem falls chill and blessed on the flesh, I am amazed by this peace, this possibility of cease, cease the existence of past ghosts. breathing in the secluded air, I am grateful to the stars that has bestowed a story with its bright… Continue reading Such Warmth
The Rhyme of Forgiveness
To those who from Heaven above, I beseech for your support and blessings. To those who from Earth underneath, I plea for your justice and benevolence. To those whom I have loved, I forgive myself for all the passing times in which I wasn’t able to offer comfort and companionship. I understand now that it… Continue reading The Rhyme of Forgiveness
Moonrise
I am no longer ashamed of love. Have you seen the moonrise? when she rose before sunset, I lingered to watch her, She stood silently in silhouette against the windows, and the brimming sunbeams embraced her, the sky was then pale and sea-blue, The moon was a pinkish golden petal in between. I once was… Continue reading Moonrise
A Woman Speaks
I have been a woman for a long time, where there’s a rose there’re thorns so beware my smile I am treacherous with old Magic So beware my passion they are comedic rage with burning flames Be aware my pride, they’re untouched by blood unrelenting as the curse of love determined, rise again and again… Continue reading A Woman Speaks
