Sandra Martyres Poems

Wining and dining
At the Ritz Carlton Hotel
Sign of affluence
...

At the break of dawn
We awaken to the music of
Migratory birds chirping away happily
These colorful little creatures
...

Huge waves approach us
Menacingly from the seas
Like a tsunami
...

It was the Mumbai Street Children's
Talent scouting evening out
We gave them a canvas,
An easel and a box of paints
...

The seas were beckoning him
Or so he genuinely believed
They helped him introspect
About his present loneliness
...

Abracadabra, all I need is my magic wand
To take me away from chaos and danger
So that I will no longer need to wander
In search of a new home and a new wife
...

Matchmaker, matchmaker
Find me a match- a good catch
I have no warts nor a freckled face
I can try to be the picture of grace
...

I need you dear to patiently listen to me
I am just an old and lonely lady.
Indeed I do have family living around me
But none has time for me, a poor old lady
...
