London Paris

London Paris Mar 1

I’ve shown kindness today
And the world didn’t know
What to do with it.
I’ve shown love today
And the world thought
that I was out of my mind
I gave myself away today,
And the World tossed me in the trash.
I offered the world peace today
And the world beat me up to death.
Yet, still perhaps
I shall try again tomorrow.

Love, peace and kindness

At Least Not For AWHILE

I am happy here,
even though deserted
I am happy here,
even here
without hope
nor fancy clothes,
and clean sheets,
Even here
without shelter,
In the abyss
of nowhere special
My own creation,
here in my head.
happily stranded,
Here all alone
and even here
without others
hands of applause
In fact forever wishing
rescuers never ever arrive.

At least, not for a while.

Whispers of the Night (2025)

Whispers of the night,
Raindrops dance on rooftops low,
Dreams drift in the hush.

For @Liana and @erin, two young poetesses who should be commended and praised for the connections they make through words.
A haiku for you both, my way of saying thank you for the words you share.💙💙💙

Liana

Poetry is my religion

I may not believe in a god(s)
But that does not mean that I do not have a religion

I believe in poetry

Not everyone has a god, but everyone has a religion. For some it's art, animals, money, or music. For me, it is words, or poetry. At night I do not pray to God, I write poetry. I do not ask God for answers, I write to figure them out myself. Poetry is my religion.

Just think

In a world without paper
there are no trees
no roots
no tattoos
no love
no ink.

Nemusa

morning serenity

swan glides through the mist,

rippling glass of tranquil lakes,

nature's breath in peace.

St Paul's feast day today we get a public holiday ❣️
