Restless, hot night
Questions unasked
Unbidden
Unanswered
By a troubled mind
The beauty of the night sky
Unseen by the blind.
The power of love lost
By lonely seekers
Calling
Wandering about
Looking for a light
Only lovers know the way
Through the night
Unwavering
Undaunted
Follow the gentle glow
Of the loving heart.
Only lovers can see
The guiding light
Rising from the storm
Timeless and calm
The lonely souls left behind
Never to be found.
I am lost !
I am blind !
Answer me, my love !

Excuse me, where is LionAir ?
Sorry, wrong terminal.
But, to be fair,
It's not far.
Down the escalator
turn left
see the sign.
Up the elevator
turn right
You will be fine.
I Was not !
No crossing the yellow line !
Excuse me, ? LionAir ?
Sure, follow the footprints on the gound
about 5 miles to walk about
you will be there in no time at all.
I Was not !
The footprints ended in a wall.
LionAir ? I ask,
Yeah, follow the guy in a yellow vest
he is heading there too.
he Was not !
The dude diverted to a Portaloo.
Where is the Lion ****** Air ?
Follow the crowd ?
Arrive en masse ?
Nope !
They got on the bus.
Oops, what's this ?
LionAir !
No sign, no footprints, no line
But, I'm finally there !
The name has been changed to protect the innocent. Me.

My precious daughter moved away,
Like every child would
One day
In my heart I was glad
And I died.
I know you had to go
Following your art
And your heart.
It was like letting a dove go
From my hand
To be free
To fly in the sky
To the welcoming hands of a friend.
A curtain raises
And a curtain falls
On the many acts of life
You now walk on a new path
So far away
Many journeys starting
Crisscrossing
And ending
Yours and mine
Forever entwined.

Lunar eclipse
The blood moon nearing totality
Allowing stars to shine
Midnight
Statues without time
The sweet taste of wine
I'm here.
Am I ?
I don't see the walls or the doors
I see you,
My two nightowls
Walking through the night
Talking, laughing
Standing quiet
A fire in your eyes
watching the city lights.
Midnight
And the time stands still
The bridge to the end
to which I'm near
You both just starting
So young and full of life
Give me your hands !
Let us fly
Above the city lights
Over the river and glassy spires
The rhythm of your hearts
Resonates
Happy and sad
They complement.
Midnight
And the time is still
My old soul remembering my youth
Happy and sad
Rejecting the truth
Living now
Young again
You have so much to give
Open your wings in a full flight
For mine are now clipped.
And yes, I'm here
Forever remembering the city spires
The music
The laughter and fire in your eyes
The bridge to the end
Happy and sad
my soul
Without fear.

Miss Polly
had a dolly
with fries and radishes.
Washed down with a large glass of jolly,
it was delicious !

I hope my life speaks
I hope it gives you a different ending
A different picture
To the one you see
I hope that you see the colour
Even just a glimpse of hope
I hope you will hold on
I hope you know you’ll make it
I did
I hope you’ll let go of the hurt
Let go of the reasons and reasonings
I hope that you’ll know you not alone
I hope you find an ounce of strength
I hope you’ll reach out
I hope you don’t believe the lie
That it’s not worth it
You are more than worth it
You are precious beyond what you can see
You are loved beyond measure
I hope you can see the glimmer of light
Even though ur world is dark
I hope you’ll feel the bit of sun
Even as you drenched in rain
Don’t give up, it’s not worth it
You are more than worth it
I made it and I will not give up on you making it
You can dream
You can hope
You will make it

Your long journey is at the end
Not gone
Never far from my mind
Memories flooding
From misty past
Lovers and loves
First and last
Living and dead
All facing me.
You
holding my little hand
Through fears and tears
And happiness
All in the same frame.
You have believed in me and mine
And gave me strength
With your parting line:
Be good. Be best !
Thank you dad
For all your love and faith
Your acceptance
You have done all you could
Your soul now released.
I love you !
Rest in peace.

Crushing disappointment
A dark shadow
Smothering my world
Clouding my mind
Why ? Why ?
There are no roses
Only thorns
No fire, only the smoke
I'm blind to your kind comfort
Why ?
I cry
hiding behind a smile.
But you are wrong!
There is a fire
Behind the smoke.
It's in my heart!
The thorns come with roses
A beautiful sight.
The tears of my disappointment
Just made up my mind
I will try harder
again and again !
I CAN !

Music and dance
Her life's pulse
She is compelled
Can't resist
Like an ocean
The music ebbs and swells
And sweeps her in a deep joy
Everything else abandoned
Life's ills and hurts are no more !
She can SEE the music
Imagining the dance
The rhythm and the flow
It gives her wings
The lifts and jumps
Are high to the sky
And majesticaly slow!
But the grand jete
Comes at a price
Every sinew cries
The beautiful arabesque
An epitome of grace
The long line of pirouettes
So fast only a blur
An elegant refrain
And no one see
That her joints are screaming in pain.
Yet
Day in and day out
practisìng , rehearsing
For a thousandth time
Finding the strength
For a thousand and one
Still
The music soars
And in her mind
She is flying,
Turning
Gliding
With a geat joy !
Dance is her life.
Yes, I am still dreaming
Of what might have been once
I just was never good enough.
