WHAT IF...

sleep
awake
sleep
awaken
birds
rain
noises
traffic
neighbours
we have
awaken
simple acts
unrelenting
routines
taken
for granted
what if
you knew
what if
you count
how many
times
left
the cycle
repeats
what if
you knew
what would
you do
then
value
every second
every moment
every breath
what if
you do
what if
you knew
maybe
you
should
sleep
awaken
breathe
what if
you could

CRY FOR LOVE

I wrote this for a dear friend who has been hurting as a result of his loved ones' abject insensitivity to his needs....my fellow sentient...the healing starts now

....................................................
I call
for your love
in need
indeed
your attention I crave
connection
erase
the errors of time

this world I entered
innocent
childlike
void of hate
unsophisticated
naïve
searching for guidance
mama’s love

papa’s stare
steer me away
to hurt
who
wish to hurt
me
malignant affectations
tumorous attentions
mirrored reflections
of you

starved of warmth
family fare
nourished with cold
to be quenched
by young ones clinging
bonding
spinning tops
boats, planes
laughter plays games
temporarily wanes
emptiness
disdain
passion
for thirst
remains

HE IS HERE!!!!


ELI ABIOMI ROACHFORD-PRIDDEE

My grandson has arrived.  He is adorable.....weighing in at 8lbs, born September 13, 2011....

I have not seen him as yet, but I am in love with him already....

Precious you are my sweet
You bring light and happiness to the world
May you walk with grace and purpose
May you be a strong man
Strong in heart, body and soul
Your Nana will love you forever....

My Return

Dearest Friends:

I have been quite busy and have not posted in a while.  I was preparing my poetry pieces for our National Independence Festival of Creative Arts (NIFCA) and that was an intensive process.

I have just finished my prose pieces that I wished to enter and I will share them with you here.  

They are two short stories so you will need to sit back and enjoy the ride.

I really, really wish you can comment on them. If you choose to do this privately, please send me an email cherbeautyglam@gmail.com

I look forward to hearing you.

Blessings

Cher
