The Park Bench
I wish I was a poet
With magical words
To make people see all of the absurd
Tears fly, paintings in pastel die
When we look into our mirrors
We sometimes miss
What love dumps upon all of us
We shed tears, for we forgot to shed fears
I have no legs, nor any crutches
So my voyage has ended
I only observe
Sadness upended
When goodness is confused
When gestures are refused
When the kiss that could have been
When a poets tear seems obscene
The one who hears is often deaf
The deaf sometimes have nothing left
If I could give a kiss away
I would give it to lovers with hearts that sway
Drawing love on paper in may

Unique is the discipline of love
Understanding God's law
Faith holds supreme commander
Sometimes we have to fight
our way through a concrete jungle
stone cold dreams nightmare evaluates
Rocking the cradle unworthy desires
no peace or rest for the wicked deeds
in order to find the answers to hopes prayer
Truth pointing us directions
within our code of moral conduct
which supports us in our voyage
In the walk of life chaos grips hearts consumed with hate
Without faith our souls identity will become dust
Needing hugs from heaven to survive
A Collaborated Poem 19.11.2015

love, memory,
Humble this moment under skies of grey
Reading poems of furtive words wrote with you,
Contemplating where you are now this day
With an ascetic mind of times we knew.
The love we shared on a day once like this
A time so long ago the spring of youth,
My heart heaved in heavenly days of bliss
Speaking words of unmitigated truth.
Yet you went away far over the sea
With nonchalant parents on life’s voyage,
Waving with a kiss as you left the quay
Shallow sunset that swallowed the cordage.
I was only eight and you barely nine
Wondering if ever your thoughts as mine.

Majestic illusions, dwell in my mind,
my special place that is only mine.
Filled with miracles, given through love,
my little heaven , when life gets tough.
A voyage I take, no one else is here,
I feel no sadness, I feel no fear.
The quietness, and serenity of an ocean voice,
waves coming softly, the air so moist.
Peace all around, no hassle of life,
my safe Haven of refugee, whenever I cry.

Letting go of all the space in between
the reality
the cloud
A theme, that use to be
---Now dead
Long gone before I woke
Sadly Today's my birthday
So here I am singing a song
All ALone
Happy Birthday to myself

tiptoe
and appear
out of the blue,
mystery to some
but others embrace it
happiness not guaranteed
instead of enjoying the voyage,
we focus more on the conclusion
before it has a chance to bloom, it dies…

A voyage of you that starts with a kiss...
A ride taken slow without a spot missed...
Silky curves that have a life of its own...
Rivers of fruit that leads to your home...
Strawberry rainbows that encircle your body...
We drift into bliss as you surrender to me...
Hands that learn to speak on this tasty ride...
Where we lay on a stage where passion can't hide...

Our voyage begins holding each other
slowly captivating space filled magic begins
warmly with glory be sings under spells
Grace is blessed always
with deep warm joy kissing beats
the true love inside fails to die
A hunter's moon smiles in the Heaven's
under the cradle of thoughts over and back gently whispers
your starlight gives birth to beauty gentle dove
Entering the soul kingdom opening chambers
adorned tourmaline inside this rainbow key of divine colours
a treasure uniquely true rare shines through pure

The sea is beautiful and I love it
and every single at the beach moment
Seagull chatters
Wind no matters
The body turning yummy brownie
My nature has stopped being whiny
I love it!
I love it! I love it!
And the best situation is my dear one
when there shines the shiny beautiful--
Diamond which to have is really such fun
On my right hand and not from a fool

Voyage into desire

love, metaphor,
Whereas hearts are led by loving's blindness
and feral moans drift idly on the wind
rendering those stricken deaf and mindless
their voyage - sweet beginning of no end
Full sails, distant horizons, cresting seas
winds rippling the canvas short of gale
a shiver of timbers - buckling of knees
a crumbling of vows they wouldn't let fail
Yet hearts encompass a passion - a will
to scream at the night - to curse their own tears
to challenge the wind until it goes still
to cherish the mast - to conquer love's fears
The taming of the feral heart must be
to love and in the loving set it free

SONNET FOR WINDS OF CHANGE
Cross cirrus sky swift brush strokes paint mares' tails
Tree tops are in restless susurration,
While cumbrous clouds traverse in vapour trails
Mead grass is fanned in wild undulation
Lake face whipped to agitated motion
Plumes roughed, wildfowl voyage with discretion
Gulls in-land tell of wild storms on ocean
All braced to face nature's bare aggression
When young I chose such rugged medium
Deplored the concept then of perfect peace
Such state suggested endless tedium
Hazard preferred to slow drawn out release
While I now sometimes seek respite from strife
I yet love winds that change, give breath to life

lost love,
In a voyage through pain
I lost my homing instincts
I'm trapped in the claws of sadness
Smothering on sorrowful violin strings
Heart not at peace
But broken into piece'
I'm enslaved in sorrow's tyranny
Embraced by pain
For I no longer have her arms
The peace in my heart slain
Still pining to her charms
I was leaving the dream
Never knew
It was meant for sleeping
I thought this love was ageless
But now I know it's lifeless
Tell whoever that said love is true
That there's no way through
It's just life's throe
Tell whoever that said it's 'Well'
That my eyes still swim in a 'pool' of tears
....Stranja....

Let's just sit and touch fingertips!
Warm and ever so lightly, please.
As we face each other on our knees.
Come closer....voyage to me now!
You know you set me all aglow,
With your always lighthouse eyes
And unfailingly, glimmering obsession.
Yes, a plethora of decades have flown!
But, you, my treasure on your knees,
Lifts us up entwined in an enchanted
rhapsody!
Higher than any great, ambrosial tree..
To Arcadia, your ancestral land.
Where peace, the stars and God,
Approves of our everlasting kiss!

baseball, longing, lost love, love,
The narrow tunnel, darkened by shadows of denial;
my vessel of hope, adrift on possibilities.
A regretful mist hangs heavy in this melancholy place.
The haunting echo's of could-have-beens stalking close behind,
as I search for a spark of light at every turn.
Unable to turn around this voyage of time,
I will accept the fait that awaits me at the end.
I wonder..........
Will you be there?......

Love is a four letter word
she whispered into his ear,
So is four, as is word
he whispered back into her fear,
Such is "you and I"
cried his heart - she could hear,
Their cheeks hugged, eyes kissed
each shedding a single tear.

Hey Magellan
Land your ships on the shore
See what the natives have in store
Too bad
Nothing left to explore
The world's been found
Over and over
Before
Here the natives don't wield knives and swords
They're armed with computers
You're in their data store
See, they saw you coming
Before you left your shore
Just like I said, Magellan
Nothing left to explore

Come to me my eastern star, to your love mystery Avatar,
travel the path of my tantric wish to where touch is holy spectacular,
discover the dharma that has delivered the dream of Ardhanarishvara
into the spine of your psychosexual lifeline, the vine of divine quanta
polishing the pearl of vipassana embedded firmly in the crown of your psychic flora,
Bring with you the faith of infinite love fire
that fuels the physics of fantasy's fearless desire
votives of violet vibration, the birthright of a Lotus Queen
born between motives of midnight storms and sunrise rose opening,
we will ride the ancient equinox that lusts for our sacred senses uniting -

remember,
Sitting this moment under skies of grey
Reading some old poems I once wrote with you,
Contemplating where you are now this day
Sharing words our collaboration knew.
The love we shared on a day once like this
In times so long ago; the spring of youth,
My heart heaved in heavenly days of bliss
Speaking words of unmitigated truth.
Yet you went away far over the sea
Your parents taking you on life’s voyage,
Waving with a kiss as you left the quay
The horizon forever more my bridge.
I was only six and you only nine
Wondering if ever your thoughts as mine.

My poems, my songs, urges of my heart
All for my love of you
My thought's voyage from you start
My nights only your dreams view
The roses blowing in my heart are
Your gifts and so is the desert of my soul
The ink flowing from my pen for sure
Bears the color of tears that from eyes roll
The fireflies of your memory
Brighten stark darkness of my anguish
My nights dark and dreary
Away from you I’m like out of water fish
The flowers, the breeze, the star’s galaxy
The expressions of my love of you
The time in search of you flee
The fleeting moments halt for you

I am drifting into memories.
Wasting away like a million photographs fading in the sun-
In ceaseless renewal,
Staining the depths of my eyes with images
In the minds shutter ever fluttering to infinity,
Stringing together this conscious stream I play in.
My stupendous world made of dust and space
Tightrope walking existence!
Chance so scarcely gracing our atoms with a single touch
In a place so lonely when counted,
Yet so abounding when felt!
So dance in the dust
Poised miles above the earth
Prance on your stilts,
And peek into the great valleys beneath her skin.
Because any moment we could vanish
Into

I am lying in bed
With my lady
Sadie
Ready to voyage
to hades
when she whips out
an iPhone
named Teddy
sometimes Freddy
once Eddie
she texting and tweeting
her friends on line
or reading
romance novels and
books on how and where to dine
she ignore me
that’s fine
me biding my time
waiting patiently for sex
between the texts
