In purple see the changing light
the stormy days to passive nights,
in secrets of the soul display
a campaign like tinders falls astray,
and yet, as seasons daily change
you adjust to fight on moving range.
In repetition all a part
this set-piece for you
that’s learnt by heart.
I watch thee, I watch thee,
intrepid, fearless
and monumentally brave,
to eagerly face another day,
this gargantuan task,
in febrile waves you make,
the tiny steps you sweetly take.
This rape upon your ravished frame
comes back in haunting waves again,
this personal onslaught so powerfully dealt
in secrets of the soul displayed,
the campaign like tinders falls astray.
And yet in courage you edify
and make my heart to often cry…

Susie, I know where this is coming from and you’re my hero( or should that be heroine) John ( MySpace friend)
Yet another superb work Susie…
I don’t know how you think them up. I think you should publish an anthology ( if you don’t already) Ken.
Simply, a wonderful poem so full of pathos, you can write lady!

Thank you Josh, kind praise indeed!
Great Poem, mixing the words with tears and i could feel your bitter and suffer in every word. Mark. Cairo.
Thank you Dear Mark, How nice it is that you follow Hamada’s health and my poems. How kind you are to send your comments, always thoughtful words – bless you – and say hi from me to Cairo – I miss it.
All my toughts are with you two! Altough it looks like that what I will say has nothing to do with it, one of the reasons I love dogs (and animals in general) is that they have no conscience of their self. In their minds they’re here forever, with us. I envy that so! Whenever I look at my dog she always looks me back without knowing her time will be over soon. She lives as if she will feel my hands forever caressing her.
Be brave! A hug for you two!
Thank You Celso Rosa for your lovely words, best wishes to you.
