Διαδρομή

λόγος

μια πηγή και δοχεία
με γάργαρο νερό για  μια μέρα  
ιχνηλαλασίες  μικρής διαδρομής
ιεροτελεστία σε πράσινες εικόνες
αυτιά μεγεθυμένα σε  φτερά  
ακούουν  τα φυλλώματα  
  νερό -  πουλιά  και η  καρδιά
μιλάνε  με  συνθήματα -
όπως εγώ μιλούσα στον κορμό
δένδρο ψηλό
παιδί δικό μου φυτεμένο
τότε δεν  γνώριζα τον φόβο
τον έμαθα στο στρίμωγμα
χωρίς  αέρα χωρίς αιδώ  
μια ύβρις που  σαρώνει


επίλογος

…..σαν να  ψύχρανε
δέχομαι επισκέψεις  μόνο στην  κουζίνα  
ασβεστωμένη- να θυμίζει  
τον παράδεισο  που σβήνει  
ωσάν  με κάδρο, υγρός πίνακας-
έξω  και κάτω απ’ το υπόστεγο  
μαδάει η φωλιά των χελιδονιών
κρύωσε ο καιρός …...

It’s time to DREAM

It’s time to DANCE

It’s time for YOU

It’s time for ME

It’s time for US!

a silver lining
only shines after the rain
the clouds are a gift

Dark n Beautiful
I have remembered you.
I remember, how we  
Spoke of never being separated  
Living together until eternity,
When we were young, we saw things  
In a different light, brighter than most people...
Some might have label, us as Thelma and Louise:
You were kind, you were adventurous, and most of all
You had a heart, but I knew you weren't a lady.
But I respected you back then. (I am puzzle by you now)

The Gambler,” you have to “know when to fold 'em.
Thank you, Kenny Rogers. And I just did it. I walked away
However, I was her best friend, imagine the treatment that she
Done to her sister, was humane,
Leaving her scar for life. (Leaving her wondering Why?)
My kind, adventurous friend: (my Thelma)

The last time I saw her, I didn’t even recognize her
Until, I pulled her sister aside and asked who she was?
Our mind has a protection emotional warning, (at least with mind)
It wouldn’t allowed me to connect her ****** memories:
her ill treatment, toward me, were uncalled for. (Mental abuse)
These days I pour my heart into my writing
Her sister, pours her pain into her cooking,
And as the saying goes practice makes perfect.
She is so good at it. Our way of getting our therapy
Without flattening our wallets. Even breaking the bank
Forgiveness must be earned. But whom or what will
Make the pain of betrayal go away

Psalm 55:12–14
12  For it is not an enemy who taunts me—
then I could bear it;
it is not an adversary who deals insolently with me—
then I could hide from him.
13  But it is you, a man, my equal,
my companion, my familiar friend.
14  We used to take sweet counsel together;
within God’s house we walked in the throng.

We fell like the leaves
I blew away with the wind
a warm heart only believes
summer will never end

i should have known
there would come a day
when winds would blow
and birds would fly away

a bare branch heaves
swinging in the wind
indian summer deceives
the cold is setting in

When you keep that wish
Close to your heart
Magic will soon take hold

On the other side
The grass may not always be greener
But your dreams are
Brighter
