the bane of my life

cheer up
you
hurt bones

look up
sad eyes

come together
stretch

go deep
into that ocean
of a soul
so long
lost
gone

farewell
half smile

welcome
that heart
between
 my lips

We shared a yester day

 

 

I’ll put parsley on top

I’ll celebrate you are keen on me

And wonder why the rest don’t

It’s ‘cause I escape

Become invisible

Hate being noticed

For the one I am

Is all that you see

And the so much more

Vanishes with the cinnamon

Again basil will be the taste

And I’ll celebrate

With sushi and rice

That you said

Why is it

The rest don’t.

dulce ♥

setting off

Drowned in the loneliness
Of this island
Sinking in the ocean
Of hunger and wounds

Smelling the twilight
Words tangle

It’s departure time

Tears fly
and are trapped
in the circling of our hearts

All that noise is deaf
The beat on our chests
break the silence
the mess

Eyes do the talking

Hoping not to regret
it's never too late

It’s departure time.

And the roads were always there
for us to be walked.
The guitar was always there

for us to be played
Piles of books
could’ve been read

Instead, we took the shortcuts
we sang out of tune
and we just read

the summaries.

And now

it's getting too late. And now...

It is departure time.

Moment or Momentum

Extreme enlightenment  

      frees the souls

     which visit the venue

       under no condition

            for long

.

To the creative

    a whole

to the ignorant

    a hole

.

Pending someone’s decision

     whose name is found

     near and on

          both poles

.

The daring

     call it forfeit

the timid

      a new sacrifice

.

No achievers

.

None conversant with

when it ends up

or if it ever does.

12 ideas or so

...........

.

Life has brought me to this climax
.

My dreams talk to me
and I listen

.

My attitude warns me
so I move back

.

So many new years
 full of unfulfilled resolutions

.

And again it’s now

.

The time to start it all over again

With a difference

,

The soup I’ll take and enjoy

.

And my bright consciousness

Lighting the path

.

A new old existence

Full of seeds to be watered

To be cherished and let grow.

A verse or two

And I scratch my thoughts

In search for words

Right some

Wrong more

Foolish

Nonsense

Nuts

And I do,

     indeed I do

dee dee deeds...

I dig my intuition

Scrutinize my ego

Neglect my ignorance

In the hope...

If I trust my intelligence

My introspection

Will guarantee

A verse or two

Must forget about logics

Meditate about last night mares

Which will revolve

Around the fall

And how one gets out of it all

On the wheel of the idea

Eventually bringing me back here

Only to cite a quote,

‘A poem should not mean
     But be’.

Get Out

There's still time

 Don’t give in…
Time…
To reach out and

   again begin.

Accept your shadows,
    Bury your fears,
Release all burdens,
    Take up the flight.

Do not give up

    for this is life.

Continue the journey,
Pursue your dreams,
Unlock time,
Swim in the sky.

Don’t  give up, please do not
Although the cold burns,
    and the fear hurts.
Although the sun is hidden,
    and the wind does not blow,
There's still fire in your soul
    Verve in your dreams.

A new breeze to breathe…

Because life is yours and so is that desire
Because there is wine and there are roses.
Because there are no wounds

 which time cannot heal.

Open doors
Remove bolts,
Leaving only the walls that protect you.

Live life and accept challenges
    Bring back your laughter,
Hum and sing a song,
    Loosen your passion
Unfold your wings
    And try again.

Celebrate this instant and return to heaven.

Because this is the time and the best time, the only time.
Because you're not alone, because I love you.
