Scattering Sunlight

-Painting hues ‘cross open air-

The world cleansed anew

-Nessie Roswell

I know your garden through and through,

Every leaf and petal, I nurtured.

I watered your grass and tended your soil,

And left my own garden deserted.

I planted my lillies where your poppies lay,

And daisies among your Roses.

And while your new garden begins to open,

The gateway to mine, it closes.

Spring now here, your flowers a-bloom,

Your garden no longer needs tending.

You cast me away, to a land of my own,

I am alone and my garden needs mending.

Now My daffodils are dying and I don’t know what to do.

-Nessie Roswell

One day there’ll be no goodbye,

One day is coming soon.

One day we’ll no longer cry,

One day is coming.

One day the birds will sing for all

One day we’ll hear their tune

One day we’ll hear Earth’s mighty call

One day is coming soon.

One day the world will sing with joy

The poor are poor no more

One day there will be no war

No quarrels, no struggles to endure.

One day I’ll wake up next to you

One day the world will be perfect

One day life won’t do us wrong

And one day we’ll deserve it,

One day we will deserve all of it…

One day one day will be our everyday…

One day is all we need.

Man
A pillar
A symbol
inscribed in the architecture of the universe

Limbs outstretched
Reaching the very edges
Connecting the human form with the divine cosmos

The circle
-complete
The square
-Uniform

Life
stable, yet imbalanced

Eternal, yet finite

The conscience of man

Recent

Now forever part of an infinite code

inevitable

-Nessie Roswell

Petals fall gently

-Laying softly on the breeze-

Whisked towards the sun.

-Nessie Roswell

Small wings carry your

-Delicate bodies- floating

Singing divine verse

-Nessie Roswell

His life grew stagnant
-Like lonely water.

No upstream, no downstream, no current.
-Just water.

The essence of life
-Water
But water alone
-Lifeless.

Bring the winds.

Bring the storm.

Still water has no spark.

-Nessie Roswell

Laced in the code of the cosmos
Lies a value of heavenly design.
So small, yet ever so infinite
Spiraled round a golden shrine.

The fabric of the universe

-Irrational-

-Nessie Roswell

At enternity’s gate
-Two souls dance-
Leaving footprints in thick paint.

As White petals orbit round,

Encircling

Under the shade of the almond blossoms.

In a field of gold
-Two souls fell-
Neath the starry starry night.

Two crabs on a beach
Looking out into an endless sea.

Two flowers

In a vase
In a café

At night.

-Nessie Roswell

A heart within ice is fragile now
All that is left of the heart lies within the ice itself
The nature of the heart frozen within…

Within the ice the heart is pure
Within the ice it is secure
Within the ice the heart can shatter no more
A glacial barrier only love can thaw

A broken heart is cold and harsh
You won’t know unless you’ve felt it…
And a heart, once broken, can never love again…
Until the ice has melted.
