Aurora dreams
The night is bright with a luminous veil that billows in the darkened sky A silky stole flailing and flapping like a dream Over a plain where snowflakes fly A full moon beams through the skeletal trees Casting a cool pearly light Whisps of clouds float across the moon Blotting its glimmering white The emerald […]
Mystique Bluebell woods
Hold my hand let’s take a stroll In the mystique bluebell woods Where no one knows and no one looks And dare not set one’s foot Along a red pebbled gravel path Hidden in a Bluebell sea Leading to an unknown world Of mystique, magical beings Cobwebs lined with rhinestone dew That is glinting in […]
Sail my worries away ⛵
Paper boats sailing in little fleets Upon the waves of the old, old creek That flows across the paddy fields Full of charm and things mystique Brave little boats, do you see? The distant hilltops covered in mist Where I dream climbing, when I grow big With sturdy legs and mighty fists Pretty little boats, […]
Newstead: where the voyage began ⛵
Long, long ago in a time so fair Shimmers a memory like a diamond rare Scarlet ribbons and plaited hair Take my hand, I will take you there A golden boat sails on a far off sea Upon the swaying waves of glimmering green A red sky beyond the horizon’s reach Reflects its glow on […]
The sequel of the holly bush 🍒

Make a wish and blow it in the wind It will float away from you, carrying all your hopes Across the fields across the meadows, it will float away Through the trees through the canopies of forests, it will reach the sky Among the clouds towards the stars, it will drift away The ripples of […]
A taste from the childhood 🍒
Gooseberries are back on show Like baubles of a Christmas tree dangling from the branches Remind me of tiny peaches One lovely morning in a lovely October Velvety skin so smooth on my fingers Apple green when tender, then changes its hue Yellow to peach, orange to red Like jewels, they beheld by the birds’ […]
Ephemeral 🍄
After the refreshing showers are gone In the dawn of one happy morn While walking on the bright green lawn I saw you bloomed in a crowd Lemon flowers sprouted above With bees and butterflies fallen in love Listening to a song of a lonely dove I saw you bloomed in a crowd Dew upon […]
The Live Painting 🌅
It was evening when I made a plan, To paint something with brush in hand. Fighting off my lazy eyes, I set it all to paint the sky. The clouds were red, the sky was gold, The sunset’s beauty, a sight to behold. I grabbed my canvas, paints, and gear, Squinted at the sun that […]
