STEÀMING KISS
There I was
With
My coffee
Cup
In hand...
I watched
The coffee
Swirl
As the cup
I twirled.
Steam rose
Into
My eyes.
Some magic
Was
At play
Because
When the
Steam
Rose
I saw
Your face
Before
My
Own!
Such beauty
In your
Eyes
It made
Me
Sigh...
Your hair
It flowed
In gentle
Waves
Of
Sunlit
Snow.
And your
Lips
Smiled
Inviting
A kiss!
I leaned
In
Closer to
Your
Face ..
Kissing
You
Made me
Spill
Hot coffee
All over
The place...
Scalding hot,
I yelped
Realizing
Too late
I was kissing
My own
Stupid
Face!

CAT ON THE ROCKER
I sit
On the
Rocking chair
Gently
Moving...
My eyes
Begin
To Close
And soon
I'm asleep.
The world
Around
Me
From dull
Turns
To light...
I'm in a
Dream flight!
I run around
Gardens
Singing
Joyful
Songs.
The birds
They join
Me
As I
Run around.
Free, I am
Of every
Worry
And care. .
I'll never
Turn back
I promise
Myself!
Just as I'm
About to
Chase
A butterfly,
I'm called
Awake
By my
Name.
No...
I purring
In
Protest.
Just let me
Be
The sleeping
Cat
On the
Rocker.
Dreaming
Dreams
In vivid
Happy colors!

THE GHASTLY BEAUTY
I put on
A pair
Of heels
And clickety
Clack
Walked
Around...
My gown
Was
Silver white.
My face
And hair,
A ghastly
Sight!
I moved
Around
While all
Slept...
For a
Scream fest,
I was
Ready...
Should anyone
Awaken
And see
Me!
Passing by
A mirror,
I paused
Looking in...
I liked
What my
Hollow eyes
Saw...
I smiled.
I had to
Wake them
Up
I thought.
They
Had to
See me
The ghastly
Ghostly
High heeled
Beauty!

THE DANCE GAME
The waltz
Begins.
The music
Is
Life...
The dancers
Move
In perfect
Step
To the beats
Of lives!
I watch
And marvel...
Transfered
At the
Spectacle.
From a waltz
It has become
A jive,..
From that,
It has turned
To a
Break dance!
Hide and
Seek
To Life's
Every beat..
Oh, the sun
And rain
Do entertain
Upon
The heavenly
Stage.
I watch
In awe
The
Dance game!
FREDERIKA MENEZES
TO THE WORLD
I stand
By the
Window
Looking out...
The world
Lives
Engulfed
In a
Cloud!
A cloud
Of
Uncaringness
And
That of
Hate.
A cloud
That decides
Life's fate.
The world
Breathes
Jealousy
And greed!
I wish
I could
Turn away
My gaze...
I want to
Within
My hands
Hide
My face.
I'm looking
Out
From within
Afraid
Of being
The knowing
Victim.
You see,
The world
Knows
It's in a
Cloud..
Yet it does
Nothing
From it,
To get
Out.
It's a willing
Captive
Of unparalleled
Injustice.
Break free
World,
I urge.
Free from
The cloud
Somehow.
Live
Free
Only by love
Bound!
FREDERIKA MENEZES
QUIET COMPANY
A song
Plays
In the
Background...
The room
Is void
Of
Live voices!
She sits
Half in
Darkness
Half in
Light...
She has it
All at
Her fingertips
Yet
From her
Escape
Quiet cries!
People pass
In and out
The door
But they see
Naught
What matters
Most...
Some say
She's brave
So strong.
And still
Others
Claim
She's
A warrior
Born...
Truth be
Told
She is
All of these
And none.
She is
Simply
Alone!
The songs
May play
She may
Sometimes
Sing.
In the
Quietness
Of her heart
She weeps.
Her name
Only I
Know...
I keep her
Company
In
The quiet
Of my
Soul.
She's my
All!

TOMORROW
Tomorrow.
Is
A dream.
We donf know
What theme
It is!
Whether
A popcorn
Crunching
Thriller
Or a
Knuckle
Biting
Horror?
Will it
Be
A teary
Romance
Or another's
Life
Renacted
And caught
Through
A lense?
A fun filled
Laughter
Inducing
Fest
Perhaps...
We don't know
And we
Won't know
Unless our
Eyes
Open from
Sleep...
Tomorrow is
But a
Dream
Waiting
To be lived!
