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

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

BLACK - OUT
black
blackness
heavy
oppressive
hitting
nails in coffin
brain matter exploding
colours weighing
mass building
to black
black
black
face front
wiggle fingers
can’t see
no movement
stealth is king
blackness reigns
pours complete
drowns the sodden effigy
scarecrow begs for mercy
black
pinpoints
pinpoints
patterns of black-ness
mixed
with grey
with white
light
pierces
searches
burns irises
heats surfaces
blackness runs
like inks spilt
on a table tilt
borders to be crossed
depression to be lost
in the blinding fight
the calming might
of white light
sight
