Death

by Anna Maria

Dying
I want to be
the beach
shameless naked spread
taking the thump of the waves
without ceasing..

Watching the peaceful
blue beyond
and the setting sun
with my eyes closed.

Love 'n peace

by Anna Maria  

Love keeps searching
till it  finds.

Then it stretches
its aching feet
lies down,
sleeps in peace.

Shout the whispers

by Anna Maria

Don't
shout through the distance
for all the world to hear
you proclaim
unending love for me.

I would rather, you
be my mandrake
whispering the words
I long to hear.

Let the whispers linger
like  the scent of frangipani.

Let the  whispers bring in
the   music  of lyres
awakening lethargy.

Let the whispers  blow
blow  hot
fiery winds of  passion.

Don't
shout through the distance
for all the world to hear.

Begin with whispers in my ear
for just me to hear.

Solace

by Anna Maria

I listen to the thud of your heart.

Thud all over
In leaps and bounds
to be quieted by you
Cuddled.

I listen to the thud of your heart .

Wake  all over again
 to a new morn
walk  all  over dew drenched grass
fresh like  the leaves rolling over
away  like a tear  of joy
when touched .

The thud of your heart
 like a gentle breeze
 calming.

The thud of your heart
like distant drums   calling.

Dreaming all over again
till I am back listening .

Wakened by the thud   of your heart.

Without  the thud of your heart
I would rather   stay asleep
without waking.
