.
and I listen
so I move back
full of unfulfilled resolutions
How many
Imaginary monsters
Remain filed in my mind
Taking away from me
The pleasure to live
Destroying my dreams…
Has it been the way
I’ve faced it all?
Rejections, mistakes
Failures, losses
Instead of maturity
What did that bring?
Guilt suffocated me
So many times
When will I get over that?
My beauty, my youth
My sweetness, my innocence
Where has it all gone?
It vanished with the time
As I contemplated and complained
It’s all their fault
While I observed
And moaned
Time flies
And so the weight of the past
The fear of the future
The unawareness of the present
Won the battle of my existence.
But somehow for some reason
Here I am
Still able to write
And share it
With those of you
Who came by.
It’s not all that black.

And she collapsed...
The girl
The woman
The lady
The goddess
She believed...
She failed herself
Just by chance
After that so quick glance
For seeing him...
He ignored her
And so did she
But he saw her
As well as so did she.
Inside the huge mall
Of her heart
She lost control
Beating at an unarmed speed
Unaware she could breathe
The glance
By chance
And everything
She had declined
Vanished as ash
In the wind
And because of that
She will be
Once more back
To dreaming
Asleep or awake
All the same
About his smile
His voice
His image
His look
His figure
Yes- just a dream
But this not welcome return
She discerns...
How well she knows herself
She’ll have to start it all over again
An end well deserved
Awaits him
...
Same place.

My fave of the week was AGE VISION, which came up just by saying to myself “The old man…” I loved so much your comments on it. Wow!
On the right you can see some pictures of the actual house I wrote SOLITARY “for”. It’s a very decrepit old house which has attracted my attention ever since I was a child, for its solitude and beautiful surroundings. Lucky me I can go and visit it whenever I want- every time I go for a walk near my house (less than a mile away…) Again photos taken with my super mobile!
BUBBLES I wrote thinking about you my friends, because of that LOVE which has actually grown between you and I… It’s like bubbles, subtly tangible. Some of you are really special to me (you know who YOU are, so no need to mention). Except for the one living at the bottom of my nearest continent- most of you are on the other side of the Atlantic… (I haven’t forgotten the English or the Australians, right?…)
FUNNY DATE I wrote mainly because I am so fed up with my not getting a date these days… and especially because this week, in class
with some of my students- we’ve been reading about Speed Dating. And I thought…well, in my case it’s “Self- Dating”, and that poem was born…
On Thursday I took a rest and yesterday I had no idea what to write in 55 words- I always like it to be fun and at the same time thought provoking. Although I’ve been to therapy a couple of times, these true dreams I’ve interpreted myself… for something I’ve got to know about this one I live within…
Again I’ve loved the comments, especially those of Shay… So that’s why I’m also posting a poem today!
This goes to my special blog-friends who, for different reasons, seem to be openly concerned about Death. Curiously their names all start with ‘S’…
UNTITLED
Are you afraid?
That’s typical, so pray
Where do they go
After passing away?
Do they fly
Do they get any sleep?
Or is it all they do?
Are they near here?
Gone with God?
Or are they themselves
Gods and Goddesses?
Or are they so happy
That just can’t say?
Are they old or young?
Whatever they do
Wherever they are
No answer I get
Yet, my sixth sense
Keeps telling me
That must be a nice place
Where no-one ever rests…
