Laiakini Waqanisau Poems

Oh what sight to see the Dead Sea
So clear and glimmering in the Sun
You will float on this dense space of water
On your tummy or your back
...

We live life once
In memories and through those we love
Life is fragile and a journey
Travelled on highways in the sky
...

Rising in the morning looking at the time
Too early to get up, grab another minute and a wink
The cold weather feels good to sleep
Yet time waits for none and ticks and tocks
...

Dust storms in the air, unknown roads unwind
Children standing with stretched hands line up left and right
Vehicles, Lorries scurry to their places
Not one stopping, only throwing gifts to those hands
...

Oh Sunflower so bright and yellow
Today you look lovely
Better each day
In the day you spread your petals
...

6.

Leaves rustle
Sands swirl in the air
Sunlight moves from East
And Settles in the West
...

Pin drop silence in the early morning
Dew drops form on the window sill
Faded lights beam from beyond the mist
Like a curtain these mists will slide and fade
...

That I met you is a blessing
Your acceptance melted mine heart
To which I owe you this perpetual vow
To keep you and love you
...

In formation a hundred or so men stood
To hear the command and get ready to leave islands far away
To reach far away places and serve under a thousand stars
In the still of the night the shrill of children’s cries fill the air
...

Running this night through deserted places
Past places familiar and vehicles that pace
Lights beam toward paths well trodden
Mists rises slowly from the cold air
...

Listening to the noises become quieter
Distant sounds become fainter
Birds in the desert find their resting places
To discover their already made nests
...

My God I lift my eyes to see you
Sitting on your mighty throne in the splendor of heaven
As your people, we look to you o Lord
Your faithful people who look to you o God
...

At Mt. Scopus we stood and were awed by this city
An old city from time memorial where you can see the past
The present and the future merge in one
A panoramic view is not enough to breathe in these sights
...

Laiakini Waqanisau Biography

Laiakini Waqanisau, (aka Lai) has always loved poetry and started writing at the age of 13 whilst in Middle School in Manhattan, New York. In High School back in Fiji, Lai only managed to publish one poem. Lai inspiration comes from reading the Book of Psalms for its poetic inspirations, Books of the New Testament for its thought on humanity, both in the Bible. As a student of history Lai has travelled, places such as the Great Wall of China - Badling, Beijing, Museums, Castles and Cathedrals of medieval kingdoms in Wales, England and Scotland. In China Lai traced the footsteps of its history through the Tiananmen square, touched the Gates of Heavenly Peace and watched as the city of Beijing morphed into the modern city it is today. A visit to Israel and Egypt has been the highlight of these historical visits serving inspiration to the poems that you will find. As a husband and father, Lai's legacy will be through his family and children who will hopefully love poetry.)

The Best Poem Of Laiakini Waqanisau

Floating On The Dead Sea

Oh what sight to see the Dead Sea
So clear and glimmering in the Sun
You will float on this dense space of water
On your tummy or your back
You will float on a sea of minerals
Packed with salts and black mud
Which you can paint on your body
To purify your mind in space and time
When you are done with dipping in the sea
A shower with fresh water will soothe you
Trickling the salts from your fragile body
To give you face a new smile
Floating on the Dead Sea
You should do once in a lifetime
