Belle

Time’s elapsing, decades have passed

The pace of life is way too fast,
Life may have added years to her age
Yet she smiles with all her heart.

She cries, she dances, she sings

Admires the love in little things, 

Her fears, temper and moods may change

After all, life’s eventful and strange.

Her beauty shines on even though old
Lost her heart and found her soul,
A warrior – her strength cannot decline

She walks on, leaving her footprints on the sands of time…

Soul cleansing

His temple, a basin

where numerous travelers stopped by

to wash away their sins

with tears of repentance

that scald the soul.

The myopic

were obviously repelled

by the dazzle of the faucet.
