Cobwebs and Light by Serena Axel (i am malala young readers edition txt) 📕

Carafe


Oh that I could bottle all the love you transmit to me;
Amass and melt the words you have bequeathed me.
Cautiously pour—not spilling a drop—into a carafe,
inhaling the essences of Jasmine and Rose
This liquid love would shimmer and dance
in the glass receptacle,throwing shards of light,
your love, around the room.
With ivory and lace fingers I lift
The ambrosian heaven of you, then place it
in an aerie, prominent niche
for all to see and desire.


This Night

Embrace me and let this delicious moment linger.
Let us stay here until the blazing magenta sky
has long, long faded away.
Saying nothing, yet hearing all through the silence
of our mended hearts.
The heavens see us and open for us—we are bathed in the night’s glow.
We do not want to surrender this day.


Wondrous Life

A seed planted
protected
nourished
with love.
Pushing and breaking
through this brown,
moist earth
To stretch and reach,
seeking the sun.
The life energy
