SUMMER AND ME
The waves
Upon rocks
Crashed
As I stroll
Down
The river way...
I watched the
Sun
Peep at
Me
Through
Misty
Clouds
Light Grey!
A beautiful
Moment
In many
It was
As I
Asked
Summer
To stay.
Come on
Linger
A while
More
That I might
Enjoy
I said
For, the rain
Isn't my
Heart's
Friend.
It leaves
Everything
So dull
And wet!
The sun
Dipped lower
As though
Bowing
To me
As if
I were
It's queen
And it
My king!
I shall
Remain
As you
Wish
It whispered
To me on
The wind
Kissing
Mt cheek!
I smiled
Content...
As I walked
Home
I knew
I'd won
Summer's
Hand!

WHAT I BELIEVE
Sometimes
I
Wonder
What life
Is all about...
For, I hear
People
Say
It's hard
And that
One must
At times
To one's
Fate
Surrender.
Why?
I ask
Give up?
One should
Always.
Fight back
And not
Give in
Like.losers.
But I know
There are
Those
That
Taunt
Uttering words
That haunt
One's core...
Oh such
Unfairness
I've never
Heard before!
Each to their
Own
Is what I
Believe and
Say
Let us
All
Live our
Lives
Our way!
FREDERIKA MENEZES
NOT TRUE
Oh, accuse
Me not
Of lying.
It makes
Me
Sad
And feel
Like
Crying.
I do not
Tell
Untruhhs.
It isn't
Who I am!
For, to lie
That,
One must
Be
Of a stone
Heart!
Tall untruths
Are like
High
Winding paths...
At every
Turn
One never
Knows
What awaits
One...
I will
Never chance
It.
So hurtful
It is
That you
Say
I lie
To get
My way...
I shall talk
No more
Of this
For doing
So
I only fall
In deep.
And oh
How my tongue
Itches
To speak
Lies
If only to
Hear you
Say
I told
You so
With a satisfied
Smile!

YOUR BLANK PAGE
Sleepy eyes
Do wake up
It's a new
Day
A new page
You must
Fill up.
With tales
Of your
Doings...
Fill the
Blankness
With
Your dreams
Paint pictures
With words
That they
May come
To life!
Come along
Sleepy eyes
Blink awake
It is
Already
Today,
The dawn
Has risen
To greet
You.
I watch
You slumber
And pray
That your
Todays
Be full of
Your dreams
Come to
Life
When each
Day
You awake
And fill
Your blank
Page!

SHE
I hear
The litter
Patter
Of tiny
Running
Feet...
That's when
I know
She's outside
My windows
And front
Door!
Her steps
Like music
They make
My feet
And fingers
Tap...
Without
Realizing it
I am
At her music
Show!
She is pretty
When calm
And dangerous
When angry
Her powers
Are beyond
Human
Capacity.
I love her
Yet
I don't
For if and
When she's
Around
Away, the
SUn
Goes!
She brings
All to
Their knees
In Thanksgiving
Or grief.
Oh
Only
She can
Do both...
Her name
Is
Rain
And she's
Feared and
Revered
In equal
Measure
In mankind's
World!

THE GAME
There was
A loud boom
And a
Crash...
I froze
In fright
Rooted to
The spot
Afraid to
Move
Left
Or right!
Another boom
Responded
And i
Ducked
Cowering...
What was
Happening?
Then, there
Was a
Tip and
A tap...
These followed
More of
The same...
With my eyes
Closed
I thought
I was going
Insane!
It all went
On
For quite
A while...
Eyes shut
Tight
I was a
Statue
Of true
Fright
Someone
Somewhere
Took a photo
And the camera
Flash
Revealed
My whole.
A voice
Whispered
In my
Ear
Then
And said
It's only
Thunder
Lightning and
Rain...
Be not
So terribly
Afraid!
It's the
Angels at
Play!
FREDERIKA MENEZES
LOVE'S PLAN
Love watched
Me
With a keen
Eye...
It planned
Quietly
To steal
First my heart
Then, my
Mind!
I lived oblivious
Like a
Fool
Thinking
All tbe while
I was cool.
There came
A point
In life
When I paused...
A mistake
It was!
Love saw
Its chance
It stepped
Across my path...
Our eyes
Met
My soul
Danced
And my heart
A best
It skipped.
I fell
And
Love caught
Me...
Oh, how
Wonderful
Live
Turned out
To be!
