Rudan A. Matiga Poems

In Life.....

Our path may not be paved with Love and Riches,
But you must go on...
...

Come! Walk with me and take my love;
And make your heart with treasures fill.
With golden ring, a ribbon to your hair,
...... A silver crown fit for a queen.
...

I close my eyes, and into my sight,
I see darkness covers the light,
It whists the silence of the night.
The whistling wind, I am aware;
...

Nothing is meant from a dreamer.
Echoes of the past... annoying! Pestering!
Never intended to put you awkwardly,
Everything I say in my inner being, my thoughts are...
...

And here's to you; a song.
The words are nothing!
...

And here's to you; a poem.
No tune, no melody!
The words are crystal clear,
Like a river it flows from within;
...

My dear old friends, the song I sing to you;
No Gens, no Larks or Rooks can sing this way,
Before I go some words of wisdom for the day.
Be good and gentle; those who think are wiser;
...

Beauty is something you feel but it's not there.... the seen and the unseen, the wanted and the unwanted, the accepted and the unaccepted, the defined and the undefined, the admired and the unadmired, the desired and the undesired, the shared and the unshared, the loved and the unloved.

Beauty is the mind, body and spirit! Beauty is on the lips...
of the living and the dying. Beauty is earhtly!
...

Where I was born looking above that solitary hill,
I stand alone; no forest growth blurring my eyes,
Of gulls and birds enjoy their freedom in the sky.
A many horizons I have seen, you with me a witness;
...

My soul is muffed as I look at you in a moonless sky,
Behind that farthest star above unreach'd by sight...
Filled my heart with deeper longing my being can endure,
You left a thought, my spirit talks with somber music
...
