Shirley Shikanda Poems

• 1. Random Thoughts
  Out of the blue thoughts
  Spin circles in my head
  Why a puppy has its own tail for an enemy
  The black widow feeds on its mate
  ...
• 2. Unlearn Love
  Unlearn love
  When your spouse lately has more late nights
  So you try to do more because you might be the problem
  When your spoiled daughter calls you

• 3. Invisible
  I am invisible
  I see my reflection on the mirror
  I can touch my face ,fingers and toes
  Yet I know am invisible...
  ...
• 4. Here
  I have heard of busy cities with skyscrapers
  Lush farmlands green and fresh with dew
  Seascapes that are to die for
  Beautiful sunrises and sunsets
  ...
• 5. Fates Gift
  I never thought I would be a rose
  Fiesty with my thorns yet irresistable
  Too gorgeous,scented
  A mere prick,blood drawing
  ...
• 6. Gone
  Now I realize how much comfort I had
  Seeing you lie there even though lifeless
  For somehow in that mummified physical presence
  Inside the decorated wooden box you now called home
  ...
• 7. You
  Where are the stars
  Look up to the sky my darling
  They make the dark night beautiful
  The way you do when my day is blue
  ...
• 8. With Time
  With time
  Dunes shed sands and become flat
  Waters carve rocks and mountains
  Leaves turn green,yellow and finally a dead brown
  ...
