Roann Mendriq Poems

Only recently, I realised,
I'm in dire need of glasses;
And so I got myself a pair,
joining the peering masses.
...

When you're told you're useless,
When every breath you take;
is presumed to be pretentious,
is accused of being fake.
...

There's a quiet sense of silence,
There's a stillness everywhere;
A dark tranquility pervades,
the calmness in the air.
...

Is love for you
a gentle chore,
that keeps you wanting
more and more?
...

Have you ever walked for miles
along a dusty wayside road?
watching how a river smiles
at the meadows freshly mowed...
...

A concert in my mind today,
Each thought an instrument divine;
My heart strings pull as if to play,
the music that is only mine.
...

T'was a new Christmas morning, the gifts were all gone,
The night was long over, it was going to be dawn.
When a thought struck Santa, right out of the blue,
It broke his poor heart - it could happen to you...
...

Blithely, the ocean calls us out to play,
Merrily waving at the waiting shore;
On this glorious, balmy, wintry day,
As the seagulls swoop down to soar.
...

Look Ma! The boats have disappeared!
Now all is covered in the fog;
I cannot wait till it has cleared,
This suffocating smokey smog.
...

If stones could only tell a tale,
of all they had endured;
Perhaps the truth would then prevail,
grief could then be cured.
...
