Consolation, In Doubt: Poem

CONSOLATION,  IN DOUBT   Consolation, in doubt Is all I want; all I want when I ask For reassurance today.   Apt are the times; the times are apt. In intense solitude The light shines.   The road is lit by lamps The moon has a halo The mind quietly ponders.   Consolation, in doubt, Comes when least expected. And then solitude smiles.   Copyright: Rani Turton

Alas Alone Am I : Poem

ALAS ALONE AM I . As despair weaves a cocoon around my shadow Alas, alone am I with my despair. I had waited for these clouds to lift I had prayed For these storms to cease These deities I had tried to appease . By various diverse means; the day remained grey The clouds did not move away. . Alas alone am I, and I tired, of constant Conflictual battle; I do not have the necessary Tools to open up wisdom's door; Do not have the fierce strength to do that anymore. . There are cobwebs in my nightmares, The night is peopled by strange shades; Alas, alone am I, almost merging with the shadows . Dawn will come, I will walk in thy meadows. . Copyright: Rani Turton

Every Once In A While: Poem

EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE . All you need to know at this precise moment All you need to know is that every once in a while Life stands still, like moments before a summer storm . All you need to know, is that precisely The rage and the elements have abated now No questions asked and none to reply . That life is a melody that at times breaks Off; that love is a passion that stop and begins Bridges have to be spanned . That you come to me with love in your eyes And I will one day reply; that you hold my hand And life stands still every once in a while. . Copyright: Rani Turton
