LOTUS FLOWER

FROM LOTUS FLOWERS TO ROSES

YOU CAST YOUR SWEET PERFUME

AND I BECOME A VICTIM

AS IT LIFTS ME FROM MY GLOOM

I DANCE IN ITS AROMA

AS IT SERENADES MY HEART

FOR THE JOY THAT IT DOTH BRING ME

IS LIFE BEYOND REMARK

ITS MAGIC SCENT IT CALMS ME

AND SOOTHES MY VERY SOUL

LOST HERE IN MY GARDEN

I’VE FOUND GODS GIFT OF GOLD

Back in 2015 I was very fortunate to go to Mauritius and I stay at the Sugar Beach Hotel in Flic n Flac

This a poem about the room I stayed in…

Room 739
As dusk is slowly falling
To the tropics of the night
I see a flight of fruit bats
Towards the palms ignite
Other birds in numbers
Settle in a tree
Chattering between them
About the day that’s been
Then, as if by magic
All around is calm
Except for in the distance
Where some creature calls alarm
The clouds then part in structure
Revealing a sky of stars
While the sea is cloaked in darkness
Until the dawning starts
Blessed am I to see this
Blessed am I indeed
In a place of such sweet safety
Where natures left to breathe
