Match Point
Standing your turf
wielding a giant pen.
Power serving words,
determined to win.
Into the net,
foot-faulted
out of bounds,
disqualified.
Will you be the
pinnacle of calm
or pull a McEnroe?
Steady your pace
or steamroll every
opponent you face?
Time tames
the temper
as many
professionals
know.
Love,
match point,
grow.

Because It's Different
said you hotly and firmly
even though it seems hard stiff
but your personality is really straightforward
the reflection of your heart is real firm
your sincere picture of modesty
your uniqueness is amazing
your greatness does not present your pride
my heart is stuck in your niche
my admiration and sincerity
greet in a chime promise
to always desire one
ignore the differences between...

One Last Frozen Tear
"Heavy Snow in Wales": 30th January 2019
A sheet of pure white covers her face: that land I thought I knew
frozen beneath its covering, buried ever deeper in its icy tomb
the contours I know so well:
every dip and valley; hill and gully
smoothed by this mantling shroud that descended
as time slipped slowly away, locking us in its white eternity
One last frozen tear d...

The Enlightenment
We walk a
fine line in
our relationship
with others.
Words, powerful
as they are,
miss the idiosyncrasies
of body language
that convey sincerity
and good intention.
On the road
to enlightenment,
our muse sometimes
knicks old wounds
that the ego
rushes to protect.
Our responsibility
remains
with freedom
of expression,
to speak our truth
knowing some will ...

Your seven.
Walking hand in hand
Your seven.
Wide eyes.
Big world.
Small warm hand
Reaches for and
Buries in my paw.
Mans hand, callouses and oil.
But still fists full of love.
Protection and love.
We kick leaves.
High
Golds and reds.
Asphalt coated
In browns and beauty.
The leaves fly up
Whirl and flow
Swirling
Unplanned patterns.
Stick to our shoes

Yin-Yang Love
He loves me?
He loves me not?
Questions I have
asked myself a lot
since the day
I said I do.
Yes, he has a
wandering eye,
avoids intimacy
like I am
the blessed
Mother Mary.
Yes, he has a
hair-trigger temper,
can top Pinocho
with his lies.
Our love is
unconventional,
but I no longer
question why.
After four decades
in the trenches,
I have learned
to focu...

Boulevard (For my son).
The boulevard of broken dreams begins at the end of a snicket, with a shop selling guilt and poverty. Where, mostly men, scratch thin blue lines from short thin blue pens in short hopes of riches. Few walk out with happy visage.
Next an unsmiling heavily built, overly sweaty Armenian take away managers’ tattered emporiam. He exploits youngsters for their honest toil with pennies and always needs ...

In Paradise Nuances
there is miss I caught in your gaze
your smile saddles sadly
I want to take care of you
even though you feel tired
so that happiness is always surpassed
I kissed the tips of your fingers softly
hint I say you welcome
I will not let your day be full of mist
passed quietly without singing
embrace each other towards the ark
mix dreams to achieve happiness
navigate the storm of life tha...

When You're In Love
I look up at the sky,
And I think of you,
Our love is eternal,
So pure and true,
Like endless oceans,
And a soothing sunrise,
Like the twinkling of,
Your beautiful eyes,
Look up shooting stars,
A sparkling swift blur,
Our love is prosperous,
It's also mature,
A calm cool breeze,
And soft white sands,
The places we've gone,
And the touch of your hands,
Memories have been branded,

Walk The Light Reaching for Hope
reluctant eyes closed even though quiet
your imagination comes in silence
you are asleep as my lover's heart
hugging happily clutching dreams
here I looked at the serene early sky
your dreams come with stars
to match my desire with you
through the night
welcomes the morning
although separated by space and time
my heart's room has been filled
with sincerity of your heart
doubt is no...

Bellow
I could fill a barren sea
full of tears I've shed
for a moment with you.
I learned to focus only
on the good it led to.
What purpose does it serve
to open old wounds
except to serve the
greater good.
So, I bellow not
unless it can be
a beacon
for mermaids
coming ashore.

Of Flesh
Her skin can open up like a mouth
It can speak
When it parts
It can extend like a tongue
It can taste
Your arteries are seams
Try to unpeel them
Slip off your flesh
Undress
Search your pores
For secret trap doors
Let the inside out
Part it like a mouth
Like hers
It can speak
Unfold the red carpets
Of rolled and folded tongue
Let it searc...

I will be your moon
Let me move to a new place,
Where none knows my name,
And I know they will start judging,
As Everyone is just the same.
But till then ,
Let me find a new love,
New memories to let go my pain,
You can take my hand,
And please ask me to dance in the rain.
I know our love would break,
Just like all other affairs I had,
Some would say I had no brains,
And I am the reason you are sad,

I learned to praise you

with you harassing me
I learned to respect you
with you dump me
I learned to accept you

I study humbly
with your greed
I learn to be grateful
with your deception
I learn to be sincere
with all your attitude
I learned to understand
I learned to know myself

The Void
Hey there lonely girl,
what are you doing wandering around
these dark places?
Don’t you know that
evil lurks about?
The void is littered
with those who will use you,
abuse you,
scar your soul for eternity.
Listen to my pleas,
I’m begging on bended knees,
move forward
towards the light,
no matter how tempting
the mysterious
shadows may be.
Sunday 27th January 2019 5:51 am
No Rush
I think we can be something special,
So let's just take it slow,
And wait until we're ready,
To decide where this goes.
There's no need to rush,
Because I'll always be here,
Today, tomorrow,
For the next million years.

All alone
Today I learnt to cry alone,
Soon I’ll learn to live alone too..
Walking through the grass
Running on the fields
Climbing the mountains
You were always a shield...
Never imagined a life without you,
Neither in dreams we were away,
In laughter in tears I was with you,
I was with you each night each day,
From feeling of hope to thought to love,
Each da...

Strangers
Blank eyes,
Gazing skies,
Saw your skin,
Full of lies,
Touched your hands,
Saw Wrinkled lines,
No family,
Few Broken ties,
Casual traveler,
Finding life,
Two strangers ,
Such A cold night,
Sipping wine,
Dim sunshine,
A girl I met,
By riverside,
Beauty as if,
Shining moonlight,
Felt like I know her,
From some other life,
I think she was Running away ,
Just Like me,

Don't Be Sad
something is missing
in the conscience chamber
when I did not meet you sweetheart
there is my humorous guard stuck
not like when we are in a joke
desire to continue
to accompany you in greetings
helpless stretched range of distance
even in virtual communication
it's difficult to establish time to share
when you're lonely
I want to beat the song
even though you can only
present you...

I saw my future before my eyes for the first time in my life
It wasnt just ideas but plans with who I
pictured my wife
The mother of my children and my partner
through strife
But I lost it
It was almost here and gone in a moment
It felt so good but now there's pain and I

Started to slip away so I desperately tried
to hold it
But now it's gone
Was it my fault? I'...

Just The Way You Are
you say you're not beautiful
for me you are still attractive
you say you're not sweet
without you my heart cries
you say you're not good
but I like you uniquely
you say you're not smart
your presence makes a pounding
you say you are stubborn
in fact made me stunned
you say you are arrogant
but your words touched me
even though you don't love me
I still love you
even though you igno...

Increasingly Sobbing
in the morning I no longer
heard the lively singing of birds
since you don't often greet me friendly
is there still the rest of your time to hope
here I wait not to pause even though it's quiet
I was choked on a strong chest
resist the intense upheaval of desire
I hope your day will be more colorful
I stared from deep in my darkness
afternoon sun covered with gray clouds

Into the Woods
We were lame and we were young,
Walking in the woods,
While singing our song,
Never in my dreams, felt anything wrong,
Thought you were always coming along,
Do not remember where exactly I lost you,
My eyes searched for you in heavy fog,
I continued my journey amidst the rocks,
Shivered through-out the night,
Darkness was blocking my sight,
Always thought that you wer...

Rose Colored Reality
Too much reality
can burn a hole
through your soul.
I prefer to temper it
with rose colored glasses,
as you know.
With my glasses on
I can see past the ego
to the wounds at
war within.
I can see that the
past, present, and
future are all
an illusion...
created for one purpose
to tell the story
of how we want to
show up in this world.
I can see beyond

*Times that the witches have woven or, a blast from the proverbial past*
Christopher,
I don't know
what it amounts to,
or
if there is to have
any sort of
meaning to
what we etched,
scribbled
or blabbered,
in the utmost
drunkenness
of times.
I sure don't find any reason for that, now.

I was,
indeed,
reading our letters,
today.
Another time,
another history,
Wasn’t it, though?

Did we merge into 'another' reality, somehow...

Sincerely Hug You in Love
every time I look at your portrait
breezy rustling miss present
every time I interpret your smile
warm desires flow
your black hair is smooth

clear your eyes excite to guide
mean your heart is behind a smile
soft poignant singing
your poetic strings are sad
tough looks you save sad
exposure to life test was exhausted
thrilled with your past

I do not get it
I do not get it when they say,
We will not make it one day,
I do not get it, when they laugh,
On us and on our scars
I do not get it when they do not believe us,
How crazily can this world suck?
I cannot express the pain in words,
Let’s run because we seem cursed
Let’s run away from the chains of pain,
Let’s run away where we can dance in rain,
Let’s run as ...

About Us
Passion consumed
eventually fades.
Passion capped
pursues us
beyond the grave.
This revelation
helps me understand,
our encounter was
never about us.
It was about our muses
intertwined in the
world of words.
We were denied
the lasting passion
we searched for
so we could write
our soul songs
for seekers
to see
the ectasy
and despair
that accompan...

I imagine that you are as beautiful as
the smile of the goddess of the moon
staring at the sweet face full of miss
here I am, friends with stunned dew
I hope you enjoy graceful sleep
I wish you dream about our beauty
and hope to meet in our real desire
I ask that I don't get bored we knit
fused eternal romance to greet

'have you had breakfast?'
your short greeting makes me desire
to start my day meaningful and happy
your sincere attitude decorates my wish

it feels we are guiding each other capable

realize our time is sometimes not enough
my lunch break felt more enjoyable
since always in your shadow is warm

Wonderings
I liked the way he looked at me
Like I was the only thing he could see
or that was worth looking at.
I liked the smile he made for me
A tailored face, specifically
to tell me what he couldn't say.
I liked the things that went unsaid
The message in the nod, the tilt of his head,
the eye contact held too long.
I liked his arms, skin brushing skin

Enoughness
Our ultimate journey
in life brings us
to the place of
enoughness...
You are enough.
I am enough.
I see you
beyond the labels
You see the same
spirit in me.
Your enoughness,
my enoughness
melds together
to create
the oneness
of love
and that is
enough.

Why say I'm sorry

Because, shallow as those

Battlegrounds of the Heart
And all at once
We revisted the site
Where the wounded lie
We examined their injuries
Doing our best to determine
If they were fatal
It requires a detached rationale
It laughs in the face of pure emotion
For life is smarter than you think
Forever your opponent
Even when pretending
To be a friend
For life brought me you
Star crossed

Kept in Silence
thousands of my words are insulted
in the phrase forming questions
hundreds of sentences you express
in murmur
so many invective words
you boast in swear
one word hate
you always repeat
it's been repeated this time
you never believe to what I say
I explained everything sincerely
you always ignore my explanation
over and over, your temper is angry
your insults hit the inner heart

Lonely Without You
time passed creeping sadly
drizzle added to my heart
what are you doing my soulmate
I hope you smile sweetly
the frog choir sounds hoarse
love song feels slicing sadly
I feel like I want to force my will
to unite our desire to combine love
stinging eyes staring at the white sheet
clear tears floating stuck
I painted you softly
the shadow of you is coming slowly
restless droplets ...

True Love
Have I loved?
Yes, on the spectrum,
towards the sacrificial side.
Silencing my soul,
losing my identiy.
Endless nights
crying myself to sleep.
I sometimes think I would have
preferred an easy love
bouquets of rainbow colored daisies,
sparkling teeth,
a passionate love,
French kisses in Rome,
ruffled sheets,
a forever love,
hugs, holding hands,
finishing each other's sentences...

Waiting for peace
My heart breaks for those
in care homes
sitting patiently
waiting to die
Sometimes remembering
who you are
sometimes silently crying
You wait with them
day by day
When you look into their eyes
there is nothing there
no fear, no desperation
and above all, no hope
In-between doses of morphine
when the pain makes them scream
they beg to...

welcome morning in early desires
soft your sincere fragrance a quiet edge
I don't want to leave the day
without feeling this

even though it's quiet in the morning
without singing of beautiful birds
and there is no cool dew blushing
your charm still brings excitement
caressing the promise of

The dichotomy of love
You opened my eyes
then shut them again
the sun shone
then came the rain
the joyous rapture
and the ceaseless pain
unbridled laughter
that today sounds insane
once a transport of delight
now a trip down memory lane.

Earning a Living
For a short period in our marriage of over thirty seven years I earned about two-thirds of the income.

My husband never complained ...

kill me.
Pain in my stomach, heart, mind,
stabs of a knife
I yearn for this piercing pain
I've lacked it far too long.
Ungrateful love:
Punch me, hurt me, kill me almost.
Almost.
so later
when the rain has ceased
a flower can bloom again
a new blossom
the same plant
Revive me, ungrateful love
Make me another
Kill me.

Harvest Memories
Glorious was that day:
Star rich the summer sky
Amongst the sun warm hay
We stole a sack on which to lie
Warm was that night:
Grass framed the starry gems
Below the hov'ring kite
We kissed amongst the tall grass stems
Heavenly was that tryst:
Grass rough the bed we made
Below a dusky mist
We took our love as grasses swayed
Fierce was that lust:

it's not worthy to be welcomed
strange you greet me gently
while you are so beautiful sheen
I deserve to be friends with you

Slingshot
it pulls back, tight,
a finger falls away
gone
flung through the air
till it hits
and falls
a heavy stone sunk at the bottom of my stomach
but you’ve left the slingshot on the bench outside
and I don’t know how to leave you on that bed
a cold hand still holds my heart
instead, you’ll stay
a heavy stone sunk in my stomach
I’ll never leave you behind
I swear
I’ll take you everywhere

Regret
Staring at a blank wall filled with my imagination about you. Your sharp eyes stab my sadness. My regret is moving the blue soul stirring. I don't understand what you mean by being silent.
The light rays fade in gaze. Do you accept my apology? Yellow flowers smell accompanied me late at night. Unable to cheer me up to face misery.
Singing grasshopper sad moaning. Painfully slicing the feelin...
