Madam Anonymous Poems

When in midnight of life
What will you see?
Did you use your abilities
To be the person you wanted to be?
...

Woman,
Ceaseless tenderness, beauty and grace
Is your name
The chaotic world is held firm and steady
...

Curls of golden hair streaming down oval face
Venus daintily ascended the shining sea
On a delicate oyster shellacked with lace
...

Numero Un:

To have and to hold,
A Midas,
...

Perched atop the Universe’s cutting edge
Beckoning dizzying heights at tethering ledge
Nestled between vast ocean and rivers
A human eruption of energetic quiver
...

To generate and keep honest money
To smile everyday in life’s journey

To work hard to laugh and enjoy
...

Give me a mighty, world pivoting lever
Watch me do it with a possessed fever

Don’t shackle me with rules shallow
...

She lives
To pour herself, every last thought
To spend herself so
Because that is all she knows.
...

This poem captures a real life event from the 1997 movie ‘Paradise Road’.

They presented over 30 classical compositions during 3 years of their captivity.

The purple haze settled over the mangroves,
The singing cricket came out in droves,
...

A trilogy
Of modern US of A

You may have all three
