Rainbow

Gazing into the heaven

I see only your face

Longing for your touch

Held in an embrace

Colourful enchantments

Gentle soul you have

So unaware we are both

For unveiling love

I caught a rainbow today

And placed it in a jar

Only to release it one day

For the bridge afar

Across all oceans and seas

I whisper your name

Do you feel me as I you?

Are you and I same?

Under this rainbows gate

We connect in dreams

Unknown is but our fate

Only our spirit hears

Sound of hues’ harmony

Colours of my bliss

Sealed is our but journey

Our love with a kiss

by Janette Dengo

The Paradox

Chained onto the mystery
Unravelling its links
For the dead end road
While foundation sinks

Who told my heart to beat

And once again I ask

Dreaming in the alchemy

Upending is this task

Pursued in rebel with lust

Bound by the agencies

Who commend in deceit

On vast inconsistencies

In forbidden sweetness

Long are we beaten

Awaiting but our destiny

Still sour crop is eaten

Dark water is swallowed

By a sheltered bold fox

In life he wallowed

To believe the paradox

Solitude

Fused one earth they share
Yet alone they stand
Inhaling this hot universal air
Year upon year unbent are the words
They must hear inside

Catching wishes with a net

Mended from the holes

One shall be granted soon I bet

Alone again in the quiet dream

As they hide their faces

Resolution awakens within

Bound by rising tides

To relive, laugh and feel free

It echoes in their hearts pending burst

Eventually giving way

Like a firefly seeking a night

Resting wings so broken

Yet committed to take a flight

So unspoken within is their solitude

In undertaken journeys
