Singing my Song
Silva Mee Jul 2017
I had not thought
that I could ever
feel happy again
when looking
into the eyes
of a man

But meeting you
has proved me wrong
and now I dance
and sing my song

stress
Silva Mee May 30
I understand
that life
is stressful
for you

but do you understand
that life
is stressful
for me

the question
Silva Mee Jun 8
why do you love me
she expectantly asks

I have asked myself
the same question
he answers and smiles

unintended consequence
Silva Mee Apr 2020
I always thought
I knew who I was
but not being able
to leave the house
gives me the space
to discover myself

Sleepless in E.
Silva Mee Aug 2017
dark night
sound of a train in the distance
sad call of a lonely owl
hungry bark of a fox passing by
wind playing with the leaves of a tree
church bell striking twice
reminding me to fall asleep

Sold
Silva Mee Jul 2017
My mother sold the house
and with it all the suffering
of days gone by.

Soon nobody will remember
those who
once lived there.

Should I be sad?
Should I be happy?

Skies
Silva Mee Dec 2017
the pink sky
reminds me of the day
we met

the blue sky
reminds me of the days
we spent together

the grey sky
reminds me if the day
you left

the sky is grey again today
93 · Oct 2024
orange
Silva Mee Oct 2024
orange
is my favourite colour
she said
it reminds me
of sunshine and warmth
and the happy feeling
that everything
will be fine

To M
Silva Mee Feb 2018
she looks out of the window
into a bright blue sky
I have not heard from him
for a long time
she quietly says
opens a drawer
takes out pen and paper
and begins to write
slowly and thoughtfully

the invisible wall
Silva Mee Jul 8
every day she comes
sits down at the corner table
sips her coffee
and looks forlorn

I want to sit down
next to her
and to smile at her
to change her expression

but every time I try
I hit the invisible wall
she has erected around herself
so as not to be disturbed

Haiku 23

Words
Silva Mee Jul 2017
your words
hurt me more
than the blow
of your fist
I try to protect
myself
but I do not know
how
89 · Sep 2018
your food
Silva Mee Sep 2018
eating the food
you have cooked for me
is a sensuous experience
I can smell a country
far away
with tastes foreign to me
and secrets and pleasures
to be explored

eating the food
you have cooked for me
soon becomes
a sensual experience
now I can smell
your scent
and taste your skin

I close my eyes
and eat slowly
very very slowly
savouring every bite
not wanting to miss
your secret pleasures

haiku 51
Silva Mee Sep 2021
barren fields and trees
I have lost my ikigai

88 · Nov 2018
things change...
Silva Mee Nov 2018
you were
my hero and
my joy

my sunshine
when skies
were grey

my hope
for better things
to come

but now
you are
my biggest
mistake

Poem 2
Silva Mee Jun 2017
You never told me
why you had to leave

You just said
that you had to go

So after all those years
I still wonder why

Stones
Silva Mee Nov 2017
"There are too many stones
on the road", he said
and began to pick them up.

She watched him silently,
not showing any emotions.
He looked at her,
disappointed and sad.

Should I have told him
that with every stone he picked up
her love for him grew?

Stresses of life
Silva Mee Feb 2018
how can I forget
the stresses of life
how can I smile
without any fear
how can I be
joyful and calm

I show you
he says
taking me
passionately
into his arms

sometimes
Silva Mee Sep 2018
sometimes
I do not know
what to do

at other times
I can see
a clear path ahead

today
I am lost again
tomorrow
I might find the path

Lazy Sunday afternoon
Hot chocolate, cake and reading.

Dreams of better days to come
Thoughts of adventure and of fun.

I wish Monday does not come!

Stress
Silva Mee Jan 2018
Why is it so difficult
to be kind
if one is stressed
she wonders
and softly begins
to weep
as she has hurt him
again.

Present
Silva Mee May 2017
I can see how you suffer
trying to understand the past
and to predict the future.

When will you realise
that it is the present
you should focus on?
