Very Woman
Silence prevailed.
Accurate mind processed.
“That’s not a very womanly thought.”
I looked up inquisitively.
“Thoughts have gender?”
If so, man and woman
Each has another side.
Perception smiled.
Circumstances laughed.
“Offence not meant, or taken.”
Thoughts multiplied unnervingly.
Advocacy spiralled.
“Oh my accurate mind, please spell,”
Silence persuaded.

Colours Within
Flame kissed the wall.
Dancing to compete,
Upsurge red, orange and yellow
With sparks of green racing along,
Into welcome embrace of blue and indigo,
Rising steadily to an unknown rhythm
Meet with showers of white sparkles that,
Trigger an overwhelming calmness…
Envisaging the moment by seconds
I break away from trance
Infused by colours; now
That they stand aside,
Appreciating the artistic evolution,
I challenge not the expressions
Suffused by an imaginative rein,
Caught between sleep and the subconscious.
Feeling colours submerge deep within
A sense of definite
Emptiness and happiness;
I wake up to a new day.
