Clumsy by Su..
Gracefully clumsy/
I topple in a heap/
With flair quietly/
On rising to reveal/
A serene elasticated/

Harmony by Su..
My body is a symphony/
Each cell in harmony /
Unfolding majestically/
As the Conductor leads/
Each note perfectly plays/
As it is woven into a body/
Beyond articulation /
Intensely felt/
Inadequately spoken /
Reverently written…

Sigh by Su..
He looks at me earnestly, asking “What are you looking for?”
I sigh deeply before responding, “To not be treated like someone’s whore”.
As soon as my honest answer escapes from my lips, I feel ashamed and free , wondering anxiously how he’ll perceive me now.
Immediately , apologetically , an explanation echoes forth ,”Well, when I think back on my...

Gold City by Su
Posted by Poetry Potion on Sunday, August 21, 2011 In : Don Mattera Week Jo’Burg You lure suitors from afar Bedecked in jewels With golden promises Luscious lips oozing honey tones You’re the heartbreaker Dream maker Streets littered with stories Like infinite confetti Carelessly tossed about As a chosen few Unlock your glories… © Su

Tribute by Su....
Posted by Poetry Potion on Friday, August 19, 2011 In : Don Mattera Week
In a land /
Grown cold /
With weeping /
He ignited /
Hope/
While dignity/
Lay almost a corpse/
He buried/
Subservience/
They cut /
Him down/
They tried/
To extinguish/
His message/
Hatred failed/
Lies recoiled/
Brutality was ashamed/
For we buried/
His body/
Yet they failed/
To quell/
The raging/
Bonfire/
Of...

Like You by Su..
A lover like you /
Is a tsunami /
Who douses /
Inadequate sparks/
Of imagined/
Past loves/
As you teach me/
All the ways /
To stroke /
My heart….
Thank You
I may be slighly Tumlbr challenged but felt moved to say “Thank You” to my followers- for the inspiration and support you shower on my creative flow… the love is food that feeds my expression..:-)

Victory's Warning by Su
Rejoicing! / He gathered us near/ Stay awake Children/ If you cease to walk by day/ Let your light shine by night/ Or else you may stumble / And fall from lofty heights/ For today’s hero/ Is tomorrow’s enemy/ For the enemy is you/ The enemy is me/ When we let / Lack of truth/ Impugn our sight/ Yet, sleep now/ For tomorrow/ Brings new light

Free-From-Doom by Su..
I am, the Oracle/
Whose words branch out/
To touch the heavens and beyond /
My leaves, flowers and seeds/
Burst forth, coherently beckoning/
Plucked and carried by the unchained wind/
Caught in the chant and soulful songs/
Of the growing discontented throng/
Marching, dreaming, crafting/
Freedom/
From phantom liberties/
Declared in law books/
Yet hardly felt or owned/
By...

Web by Su..
You spun a web of words /
That held me too tight /
As I fought to get out /
Memories and promises /
Chained me to the centre..

Tapestry by Su..
I calmed my tumultuous mind /
Easing in a suffocating peace /
Letting it embrace and diffuse /
The feelings plaguing my soul /
Realising there is one goal /
To life’s tossing & turning /
Embracing a deeper knowing /
That those who comprise me /
In body , spirit and vision /
Have walked & survived /
Often to thrive in harsh plains /
So, I leap on knowing this /
That I...
Footnote by Su..
I child of love and struggle /
Will not be destroyed by you /
A mere footnote in my story..

Forgotten by Su...
I blew off the layer of dust /
Uncovering my old journals /
Speaking of time gone by /
A girl I used to know /
I laugh & am comforted /
That in a few years /
All the tears & issues /
Today’s strife & cares /
Will melt away like mist /
Replaced & forgotten…
