Author, Cherita, Ghana, Larry Kimmel, Publication, Whispers of Dawn

I got my first 5-star review of my book Whispers of Dawn today on Amazon and I’m so excited. Because, the review is from one of the finest Cherita poets ever, Larry Kimmel. Simple but powerful words, Larry.

‘Whispers of Dawn arrived today. A book to be proud of, Celestine.’

Please, don’t forget to give me your honest thoughts of Whispers of Dawn on Amazon when you purchase a copy. Thank you to all my friends. 🙂

Life

stretch your hands and grasp mine

life slips by
a passing ship with no anchor 

that is my life
perhaps, your touch
will stable me

of my gasp
as the petals stir

Meteorite

gift from the gods

a sign really
that heaven is in my grasp 

cupping a star
in my palm
this fallen meteorite

Silence

they say silence is golden

but the silence  
after the gunfire

is red
not even the flood
can wipe away the gore

but you see
I still see your silhouette
lingering…

gossamer strumming 
and a murmur, a breath really

just before
the break of dawn
perfumed kisses

Wings

one day I shall grow wings

my thoughts are like rainbow 
a spectrum of ideas, floating

oh, let my wings sprout
my thoughts set free
from this narrow window of your views
