THE WINTER WIND

happy, Hope, lips, love, , ,

Christmas of 2015 had passed by, and each of us has the memories to cherish. This year is another special one, I stay put in Cairns; went to church, had Christmas lunch and accumulated the best bonding with few members of my family and friends. Like any household, food and drinks overflow; laughter and festive moods dominated the scene. In 2014, I spent Christmas in the city of romance and love, Paris, France. I was doing my research that time. Oblivious to my flight, I was staying beside the Dominican Monastery; covered by another building. A place in Paris not many tourists would go. I attended the Midnight Mass; it became the highlight of my travel. The beautiful voices of the priests as they sang; I felt like lifted to heaven. The songs from heaven gave me so much inspiration. After attending the mass, I inscribed this poem of which I posted January of 2015. DSCN2323

THE WINTER WIND

BY: VIRGINIA CLOSE

As the winter winds caress my very hands

Without gloves, so to speak numbs my very francs

The withered leaves fall to the spirit of my charms

To the joy of my spine in the hush of the vine

Although the lips in the grove nowhere to be found

Nevertheless the landscape of Paris; very grand to the curb

The lights on the Avenue of Champs-Elysees sparkle to the moon

Misty eyes overflow with river of flowing in tune

No upheavals to the just of my soul as I prance

Precipitation of the rain passing  by

Like gems from the shadow of the Dame

Mammon lands in the jostling of the narrow lane

The meadows gleam to the elitist in the gist of the realm

THE SUBWAY

THE SUBWAY

BY: VIRGINIA CLOSE

In the busy moment on the train;
As I watch different faces of the day.
I begin to see a subtle man eye to eye;
Smiles cluster on my cheeks very shy.

The glow in his eyes speaks with tune.
Hummingbirds suddenly appear on the rail.
I then jostle the haggler in my heart;
Lips of mine beaten by the teeth every grain.

In the glimpses of the contouring curbs;
As I stand, all my body trembles down.
The nearby station is so near yet so bland.
I then hope this handsome man shall go down.

Oh! My gosh, I am sure that my heart jumps like a child.
I realise that in every corner of the station is bright.
As the light of the sun blinds my eyes;
Sparkling with brilliance; never stops as I pass by.

Morning is foaming bubbles in the sky.
As I walk in the pathway of the street;
Someone holds my elbow on my right.
I almost jump with fear very scared.

The gorgeous man in the subway is in my sight;
Giving me the book that fell down from my lap!

066MEMORIES

BY: VIRGINIA CLOSE

Thinking of the hours, you used to smile;

lovely thoughts will remain untouched.

Gone is the minute you kiss my soul;

memories remain just in my book.

What happens next is storm that do not stop;

thunder broke the mirror shattered the plot.

Rainbow, please? Come to make me bright.

The hope had turned off; the light of day appears

in the blink of my eye.

Now, my heart trusts the heaven up high.

I know, it is hard for me to reach the sky when

my life runs out of flight; but, I must try.

The love of you will keep me going;

the memories of you I will cherish and keep

in my heart;

forever and beyond in eternal height.

Gladness of Heaven

Gladness of Heaven

BY: VIRGINIA CLOSE

 

The water lily pond sparkles in the sun.

The flowing water caresses the vines.

Mischievous being comes along with a dire;

Persistent of nature to survive in a bland.

The waves in the sea touch my very own hand.

Flirtatious trees swinging with the wind from afar;

Graciously dancing the fountain behind.

Mystical beauty disappears with the light;

The affliction of intense stormy weather decides.

Mitigation of the intangible is now going to cry;

The gladness of heaven interferes with a smile.

Diamonds that sparkles is going to shine;

Faith in the future is now in my hand.
