I hold you in my hands.
Caress your skin.
I can’t wait, to begin
This journey with you.
What does it have for me to bring.
So many mysteries, history,
so much knowledge,
stories untold.
I stay at home and visit the world.
Meet all kinds of people I can’t let go.
A library filled with the world and more that’s out there.
I visit the universe and colour some dreams.
Want to touch the moon and
steal me some stars.
Beautiful book with unspoken words.
Teach me everything, show me the core.
Of what is this living without your wisdom to explore.

A tree in full bloom
in desert land
The seed of love is planted
overcoming anything
making a song within
Like branches of the olive tree, withstanding, bending without breaking.

Song of wind like lovers
whispers.
Passion dance on Nature’s tune.
Bathe me in the light of moonshine.
Caress me in the warmth of breeze.
Happy and grateful you are in all of nature.
Safe and sound.
Feeling your spirit’s touch of love,
all around.

Tropical flower of paradise
In warm places you are.
Beautiful and strong you stand  facing sun, wind and storms

You represent the people’s heart with your glamorous look.
Bring joy to those

Freedom and faithfulness you stand for.

Your form and colors so unique,
you truly represent tropical paradise.

Real life
She was crying
Her girl, 15 years old,
was in the ICU
It was a suicide attempt
Reason, they don’t know
Parents divorced 3 years ago
Both in new relationships now
She didn’t pass the final exams
Her mother’s boyfriend just moved in with them
And people ask whatever reason made her do such a thing.
Think!!

Parents must think before taking decisions that effect children and teens.

A chance, a change.
While winter is going to sleep
Spring is awakening
I hear the birds in early morning green,
calling….
Soft melody of wind
caressing early blue of sky
to poke lazy sun to open eyes
and shine on all of pastel fragrance bloom.
It’s the time for new beginnings.
Let’s love.

We must believe that, like the changing seasons,
there is always a chance for a change.

Blue love
Moonlight’s yellow
gives pink cherry blossom tree
peach flowers everywhere.
Meet you by the lake after twilight’s hour
Lay me down on a bed of subtle scent.
It’s a love that can never breathe
Listening to the call of nightingales
I close my eyes and let go
while tears are falling sideways.

Growing old
Will you remember

When we grow old
Sweet Love of mine
Will you still remember
The time that we were young
And you did surrender

When nothing was too much for you
To keep me satisfied
To hold my hand all through
the night
Till morning light arrive

Will you remember
how you held me tight
So I would dream so sweet
A love that felt so deep inside
My love promise me.....

When time is there
and  we must part
When angels make their call
to follow them back into the light
Promise me my love
Promise me  you’ll wait
till  angels come for me
So that I too
can surrender now
My sweetest love of all.
Will you remember me?

Little gifts of life.
Two blue sapphire like eyes looking at me.
I felt myself melting.
A very little teddy bear like Pekingese pup.
He seemed a merry baby dog
with wiggling tail and all.
While caressing him with my eyes I saw a little movement in the corner of my sight.
That’s when I saw him.
The other one.
The brother.
Two shiny black diamonds looking at me
in silence.
He was just sitting very still.
Waiting.
With such anticipation,  it pinned me down.
There was an instant connection.
He was everything the other was not.
And I loved them instantly,
but….
the black sparkles touched my core.

I took both.
Blue eyes died when he was nine.
My sweet black glittering eyes love
died last year .
He was fourteen.
I grieved a long time.
The sadness is still there.
Deep within.
Invisible pain
Like hidden translucent pearls
behind the eyes.

Silent Prayer
Child in warmth or cold.
War and homelessness
with Christmas
please no more
We all deserve light.

Children must be
warm and safe
Around the Christmas tree.
No more pain and fear.
Feeling safe.

Cold white winter night
sharing food
open presents
classic Christmas Eve.
That’s how it’s supposed to be.

Wishing all of you a peaceful Christmas weekend and a blessed and safe time.

Every new day, a mystery.
Early morning mist
Holds the mystery
of a new day
Like a hidden gem
Or a hidden disaster
Early morning break
Quiet fate behind the fog
Like a promise
Meant to be broken
Like silent music waiting
To fill the hearts
with happiness and joy.
or with sadness and pain.
Every new day a new mystery
to us all.

No one knows what the day ahead will bring
We can do our part to stay safe

You look like you flied out of a just finished painting
with all the fresh painting like strokes which finish your bright colored feathers,
bright beak that makes you the beautiful bird you are.

Your conservation status makes you interesting and they all want to pin you down.
Your song resonates in your appearance,
you’re a delight for ears and eyes.

Soft imagination
While living in extreme drought of lands
Sitting under a brown silhouette tree
Many questions are overwhelming me.
Am I born on the wrong side of Earth,
no one seems to understand or care.
I look at the shivering air in front of me
Must walk miles to get me some water.
Thirsty throat made me feel drowsy
I close my eyes sitting here.
Pretending I am in a land with pastel colors
I see a beach with rolling waves
A soft blue of sky and waters.
Never saw a beach before but it’s good
to be there now.
Cool breeze is touching me
I feel goosebumps creeping on my skin.
I can hear the sounds of ocean
In my mind it made me sleepy
Drifting away drifting away
Further more further more.
Realize I want to keep drifting to never
to  return to land of thirst.
Please God keep me here.


When feeling trapped, close your eyes.
Let your imagination carry you.
Pray.

Through their eyes
My happiness is gone
tears in my eyes
Only sadness
When I know I am not welcome
No one wants me in their land
I’ve been running from my once called home
They smoked us away
Do you know how that feels?
To know that nowhere on this earth there is a place for me?
Where I’m welcome to stay and build a home?
You judge me because?
I am just a child, I am lost
Walked miles every day in sun and rain with stomach pain.
A burden in everybody’s land
Yes I know it’s theirs,
their right by birth.
I have none.
They let me know every second that passes by that
I’m not welcome here and nowhere.
Can you imagine  how that feels?
Do you know where and how I live? You wouldn’t last a day.
Only sadness on my mind
Eyes filled with tears all the time. Emptiness inside.
So much pain so much grief.
Is it fair to be a child like me?
Just because!!
You could easily have been me.
Think about that.

Precious
Oh my beautiful dog, are you lost?
Do you feel my desperation
Yes I am sad and lonely, lost the old lady
after 50 years of togetherness.
Surrounded by stillness and blurred view.
Everything seems to happen in slow motion these days.
Don’t you have a home my friend
Do you want to go home with me?
Don’t look at me with  such
a questionable look.
I could use the company you know
Not a bad idea.
Let’s share the pain, let’s share the love.
So much love left inside of me.
It’s been long that I felt someone else’s consciousness.
We connect.
What should I call you.
I know you are “Precious “
Yes.
Come on Precious let’s go home.
