House Without Windows & O Little One (Two Poems)

1) House Without Windows

I am building a house with no windows

And a very small door, And my friends all ask me why.

Life has been for me full of anxiety

And I care not to let it in any more; So you see, I am making a very small door.

And having no windows allows

What is outside not to look in Thus freeing my spirit to rest again

Original published in the Magazine: The Mango Tree, out of India (August/September issue 204, considered by the editor to be an exceptional poem. Also published in the book The macabre Poems, Volume III.

2) O Little One

Youre growing so fast,
My little one,
With eyes of spacious hue.

Youre growing so lovely,
My dearest one,
With hair of golden dew.

And with a whisper,
And head turned down,
You say you love me so!

Your voice teardrop lime,
Your pride so new,
I say I love you, too.

Sh!I wish I was,
But I am not,
The things a dad sho uld be.

But I miss you so
And I L-o-v-e You!
With all there is of me.
