Here I am...
trying to escape the city noise...
I finally reached the forest...
My oasis...
The only noise here is the wind blowing..
In a way that makes the leaves dance...
As if they were waving to me..
And the wind becomes stronger...
And I can not tell if it is the wind blowing my worries away...
Or if its force just pampers my body...
But it feels like flying...
And my soul and the forest become one..
And I don't want to leave...
It is now raining...
But it does not matter...
It just so refreshing...
I am happy again...
Nothing matters anymore...
Life and happiness are made of such small things...
Would you like to see my oasis.....?

At some point in my life...
After getting lost in your eyes...
And succumbing to your kisses...
And under the spell of your smile...
I thought I had found my soul mate...
And was willing to move heaven and earth just to be with you...
You were the first thing that came to my mind when I woke up...
The last thing I was thinking of before my eyes closed for the night...
And then you were in my dreams...
I have never met a woman like you...
You were my priority...
My number one reason to live...
But now I feel I am at the bottom of the barrel...
Maybe even underneath the barrel...
I feel I am the last on your priority list...
And I think I am not even part of that list...
I have to beg to hear your voice...
I feel humiliated...
And heart broken...
Live your life and be happy...
For I can only wish good things happening to you...
As for me, time for me to get out of this barrel...
I used to be crazy about you...
Now I don't know if I want to see you...
For I  am afraid of being hurt...
Two can play the game of love....
But two can also play the game of indifference....

Got my Christmas gift today...
For I saw your eyes...
And got lost in your arms...
Any day is Christmas day when I see you...
And any moment with you is New year...
For time stops and all I can think of is for the moment to last 365 days and nights...
Maybe it is not Christmas today...
But I am gifting you my heart...
I just don't adore you...
I love you...

Like a camera shutter collecting light to create  a photo...
My soul gathers feelings,  sounds,  colors, thoughts, even movement...
To be able to create poetry..
So perhaps poetry is just a photo of one's soul and spirit..
Photographers talk about exposure for their photos..
Us poets are exposed to the world..
And feel all there is around us..
So photography and poetry are not that different..
I will continue my path,  trying to describe the what I see just with my words..
Maybe poetry should be called 'Photoetry'....
Or "Poetography"...
I hope my dear readers.. you enjoy my descriptions of the world...

This is a game I never learned how to play...
I always seemed to lose when I played it...
And I had lost interest in it...
Until I saw you in the game room...
Then I became it an addict to this game...
For I want to win...
Your heart...

Silence is a powerful answer...
Perhaps the most powerful of them all...
Silence says it all...
And even though silence does not carry any words or sounds...
It can be extremely painful...
I should have never said I love you...
But I said it...
And your silence gave me the answer...
Which I did not want to hear...
And which I heard in my heart...
Even though your lips didn't even move...

I am by the river...
Watching the water go by...
And it is like I am watching my own life...
The water flows endlessly..
Like the seconds and minutes do...
And I wonder where does it go to...
And I just don't know...
The river goes to the sea...
Time goes to the future...
So the future is a sea of possibilities.
So I am just a water drop in the river of time....
And I am happy to be who I am.   ..
For I can breathe and observe..
And marvel at the world...
And tell stories....
No matter where the river of time takes me...

The space traveler crossed 3 galaxies...
Many universes...
Hundreds of planets...
Defying physics and speed of light...
For he was eager to find the source of a sweet light he saw from a source tens of light years away...
He finally found where light was coming from...
From a remote planet in the milky way...
Inhabitants refer to it as "Earth"...
Now the space traveler does not want to leave this planet...
The sweetness comes from the eyes of the most beautiful girl he had ever seen...
And the space traveler decided he does not want to wait anymore light years to see the light again...

I had forgotten the meaning of the word smile...
For I always had a somber face...
And no matter how sunny and bright the day...
My expression was gloomy and sad...
Until I met you...
You, your smile and your eyes had the power to make me smile again...
And now my eyes have the brightness of a star...
And I always smile...
Even of a cloudy day...
You brought me out of the darkness...
The melody of your voice fuels my soul...
Your smile and your eyes are my reason to live...
If this is not love...
I don't know what it is...

Flapping his wings vigorously...
Defying the wind and the cold...
Blending with the pink skies of a cold fall sunset...
A bird was trying to get to a nearby, almost frozen,  pond...
The wind was blowing so hard...
It seemed as if the poor bird was suspended in space...
For he was flying against the wind...
And it had difficulty moving forward...
But he did not give up...
The strongest the wind blew...
The hardest he would flap his wings...
Until he reached his destination...
Like that bird...
There is no wind strong enough to stop you...
You're almost there....
Don't stop your flight...

Twelve fresh cut red carnations...
Would not be enough to express my admiration...
For you are brave and resilient...
But are also kind and sweet...
Twenty four fresh cut carnations...
Would not be enough to describe the happy sensations...
I feel when hearing your voice...
And thirty six fresh cut carnations...
Would not be enough to describe the many inspirations...
I get from your eyes...
And a field full or carnations not enough to describe my love for you...

The circle starts with excitement...
As I know I will see you later in the day...
Followed by happiness...
Every time I see you...
Then it comes emptiness...
When we take separate paths...
At night I am left with the memories of your eyes...
And when a new day begins the excitement returns..
This is  the circle of my days...
Aptly named...
As my days revolve around the hope  of seeing your beautiful eyes...

If you ever meet a man who adores you just 1/100 of the way I do...
You are going to be really happy...
For he will have enough love for you to give you the moon and the planets...
He will be your partner...
Your soul mate...
He will kiss the soil you walk on...
And that is if he loves you and adores you just 1/100 of the way I do...
Just imagine how much I love you...

Everything reminds me of you...
Raindrops...
Snow flakes...
The wind...
The moon and the stars...
Sunrises...
Sunsets...
The creek...
The birds...
Fall foliage...
Everything...
And you know why...
Because I wish you had been by my side every moment...
I wanted us to enjoy life together...
For any mundane action becomes a sweet moment when you are near...
For the time being I will continue to see the world by myself...
I don't know if we will ever be together...
For now, I just can say I will love you forever...
In silence...
Loving you means wishing the best for you...
I told you once you only need one to fall in love...
That one is me...
But I am not here to judge you...
Just to tell you that I love you...

The wind woke me up...
For it was a windy morning....
Perhaps the wind will carry this message for you...
And it is also the wind who brought memories of you...
Poetry is carried by the wind...
My words are poetry...
So are your smile and your eyes...
I  even see them when sleeping...
So maybe the wind also blows in my dreams...
And that is a good thing...
For your eyes and smile make for sweet dreams...
I just don't like you...
I adore you...

Not sure if it is because of the season...
Or the fact we are in the northern hemisphere...
But I noticed lately the sun rises after 9 am...
Or at least that is when I notice there is light out there...
Maybe it is because I get to hear the voice of an angel everyday after 9 am...
Will stop writing here...
It is almost time for my sunrise...

Are you craving of sweet words...
And dreams?..
Are you willing to let your smile conquer the universe?..
And a beautiful rose merge with your hair?....
If so...
Close your eyes....
And smile.
Let yourself loose...
And you will be transported to wonderland...
The land where your laughter can be heard when it rains...
And where the wind sings poetry to you...

Life is an ocean...
In which all of us are sailing together...
Somedays the currents will be warm and calmed...
But sometimes the sea can get rough, cold, unpredictable...
With high waves that seem unsurmountable...
And we have no choice but to keep going...
For we are sailing through the ocean of life...
Luckily there are kind people that have enough kindness to fill the 7 seas...
It is easier to sail away through the 7 seas of life when your sailing mate is kind and gentle...
The true purpose of life is loving those who we care about...
I wish my dear reader... or should I say sailor... that you have a smooth sailing everyday...
And when you don't...
Look for the gentle sailors around you...
For life is not meant to be navigated alone...
No matter which your port of call is...

A lot has been said about the universe...
Comets.. planets... asteroids...
An ever expanding universe...
That is what astronomers say...
I will perhaps never get to know the universe...
For it has been said it is infinite...
And I don't have the means to go to space...
But it does not matter...
I realized your eyes are an universe by themselves...
For they are an eternal source of sweetness..
Joy and peace...
One look at your eyes is enough to forget my dilemmas...
One look at your eyes is enough for my dreams and hopes to stay alive...
Am I exaggerating?...
No....
For we humans have feelings...
And all of us will express our feelings in a different way...
Perhaps my way is writing...
And it is easy, really...
Because inspiration flows by itself when the memory of your eyes is around...
Perhaps I am an eyestronomer...
In search of the center of the universe of happiness....
I think I just found it...
For I see you and your beautiful eyes walking down the road....

I spend the nights counting stars in the sky..
I get mesmerized by their light....
And it surprises me to know it takes light years to reach us...
So I am just wondering..
whether you are now smiling..
And like starlight...
Sometime in the future I will get to see that smile...
It does not matter if I have to wait light years to see it..
It will be worth it...

It was a Dark Day today...
It seemed as if the night would reach the horizon soon...
I was not sure I would get my vitamin D dose today...
Luckily your Deep eyes saved the day...
For I see your Deep eyes..
And I start Dream walking...
And Discovering new worlds in them...
Imagining new Dawns...
Your Delicate hands and Deep eyes...
Are just vitamin D for my soul...
Your eyes and smile will light my Day any Day...
No matter how Dark outside..

I keep thinking the world has two parallel dimensions..
One where you live, breath and touch..
It is what you see..
Another one is where your dreams are...
It is where you would like to be...
Sometimes those dimensions overlap..
And your dreams become a reality..
Or maybe we live in a dimension where everything is a dream...
And reality is an illusion..
Whatever the answer is...
I want to write poetry that will transcend both dimensions..
Poetry that will inspire readers to dream...
And dreamers to enjoy reality...
what is your dream?..

An the wind continues its journey..
It never stops..
I am thinking wind and time are one and the same...
Both are continuous.....
Wind takes my words and sonnets all over the place...
Time  will take them to the future...
Any poet's dream is having his or her words reaching people's hearts...
Either today...with  the wind...
Or in the future...
So my dear reader.. time and wind are the same...
So are poets and dreamers... They are identical twins...
Heading out now...
It is windy..
See you in the future...

The snow is falling again...
I like to think of each snow flake as a good wish that falls upon us...
The land is all white now...
Full of snow flakes..
Or maybe with lots of good wishes and hope for a happier day everyday...
Everything is wonderful when you see life with the eyes of a child..
And see everyday as an opportunity to be happier than the day before..
That should be the goal of everyone's life...
Be happier than the day before...
No matter what...
May your tomorrow be happier than today's...
Maybe I dream too much..
But what would life be without dreams...
It is like imagining a winter without snow...

It snowed last night...
There must be millions of snowflakes out there...
I like to think each snowflake is a new word..
So if I was going to go out there and blow on the snow I could form new sentences every time...
The first time words could read "smile for the world"...
If I was going to try again it would read "world of smiles.." or "world for smiles"
All of them nice things
Or what about "life is happiness "...
Or "happiness is life"..
Or "your eyes are the light of the world"... or "the light of the world are your eyes"..
The point here is there are many ways to say nice things, and many ways to be happy...
As there are many, many, many snowflakes out there.. there are infinite ways to be happy and enjoy life..
Be happy..
Life is beautiful...
So are you...

Millions of flakes are leaving their nest...
Up in the clouds...
To join mother earth...
It is as if they were gifting earth with a white blanket...
They fill every corner...
Every inch of space as they fall through the chilly winter air...
Seems they want us to forget the land was green and lush just a few weeks ago...
But maybe it works the other way...
Instead of us forgetting how beautiful the land is when green and warm...
These snowflakes falling will actually cause us to hope for warmer and nicer weather in spring time...
And this is no different from life...
Hoping and dreaming that tomorrow we will be a better day than today...
For this poet happiness means knowing that a beautiful lady with sweet eyes is happy...
And hope means wishing the lady will be happier tomorrow than she was today...
For I will be happy is she is happy...
For the time being I will stand by the window...
Watching the snow flakes fall...
And hoping my soul will have enough inspiration to write a poem a day for her...
And I think it will...
For her eyes are an endless source of sweetness and inspiration...
Thinking of her will inspire more sweet feelings and poetry than the number of flakes tonight...

Legend has it that Mars and Earth were once a single planet...
Born when the universe was created...
Gravity and the universe did their part...
And the two inseparable friends grew apart...
Moving fast and erratically throughout the universe...
They did not see each other for millions of years...
And they had lost hope of seeing each other again...
Nature acts in mysterious ways...
The same nature that separated them...
Brought them together again once the solar system was created...
Mars was so happy to see Earth again...
He carved a moon out of his own mountains...
And sent it to orbit the Earth...
So that  Earth would not feel alone...
No one knows if this legend is true or not...
The truth is that today I am sending you this poem...
In the same way that the legend says that Mars sent a Moon to Earth...
Because poetry is in itself a universe...
Where each poem is a World...

Ocean of poems
Would you like to navigate the ocean of poems..
A place where words ride the crest of the waves...
And are shuffled by the wind to create magical poems, Sonnets and verses that are whispered to your ears...
If so, this a journey for your spirit..
In the old times sailors used the stars to navigate..
On this magical universe, the stars you see on the sky are actual reflections of your soul..
Each sparkle representing a sweet memory of your life,,,
Or a wish for a happy moment...
So like the sailors of ancient times...
Just follow the stars to reach your dreams...
Your own stars..
And don't forget to send me a message when you reach your destiny...
It will mean you reached happiness...

I am thunder...
You are lightning...
For you are faster than I am..
And I can never catch you...
That is how I feel right now...
Always chasing your love and your kisses...
But I never get one or the other...
We are so close...
And yet so far...
Separated by the rain and the storm,,
Remember my lightning...
I will never stop looking for you...
Even if not holding hands..
I can take solace in the fact Lightning  and Thunder are always close to each other...
So at least I get to see you...
Even for a second..
That is how fast lightning strokes are...
And maybe that is why you struck my heart..
Good day my love..
I will wait for a storm...
So I can see you again...

Only one of us fell in love...
You need two to be happy...
But sadly... just one to fall in love...
I have enough love for both of us...
But if you don't even bother to receive it...
I of course can not even expect you to return it...
And you don't have to...
For my love for you is unconditional...
Perhaps eternal...
But not foolish enough to remain by your side...
I seem to have more company from my pain and my sorrows...
Than I do from you...
So I am leaving now...
I rather be by myself than with someone who does not care about me...
So I leave the same way I got here...
Alone...
The only difference is...
I am now in love with you...

There can't be hope without inspiration...
Hope is what inspires our dreams...
And you can not dream if you don't have any hopes...
Hope will give you enough inspiration to reach your dreams...
No matter what your dreams are...
Never lose hope...
Hope and inspiration will get you there...
There is no mountain high enough...
There is no ocean you can not cross...
I would climb the Everest...
And I would find a way to cross the ocean...
Just to see your eyes...
For your eyes fuel the hopes in my soul...
And inspire my hands to write for you...
I could not see you in years...
And the hope of seeing you would still inspire me....
