Wait.

It’s just today

That she has given in
To the lost terrain
And has allowed
The creepers to block the way

It’s just today

That she has refrained
The flowers
From blooming

It’s just today

That the rain falls…
Her whims and fancies
Will finally give way

Tomorrow
A Hurricane….
Will follow…

Till then

We shall wait.

Core….

Collection of short poems

Core
Did I tuck you in well today?

Have I told you….

That I’d hold your hand

Forever, and never sway

Have I told you?

That I am the mast,

And the sail.

That our ship is steadfast.

Did I tuck you in well today?

When slumber crept into your room,

And dreams danced about your bed.

Did I ask the moon,

To whisk away your worst dread.

Have I told you lately?

You are beautiful and fragile.

That you have an angel…..

For every little mile.

Did I tuck you in well today?

Have I made you strong?

To the very Core

Admonished all your doubts,

And made you very sure.

Have I….

Have I…….

Loved you with all my might,

Fiercer than the wind

That blows tonight…….
