Travel I will, but without you
Into the air, high up in the sky
Moving across the vast ocean blue
Each beat of my heart cries a goodbye
Apart for the first, the very first time,
Weeks will feel like years
Anticipating already, your touch, your smile
Your hand back in mine, I’ll miss you my Dear

Sumptuous summer,
“Sunkiss” my skin
As I lay in the gold,
Of your hot, lazy
Suns grin…
Amidst this field,
Of tall grass shades of green,
An abundance of flowers
Where I lay in between
Raised hand casts a shadow
That shelters my eyes
Here I shall stay
Till seduced,
With moon rise
Will you join me here
To watch stars come to life,
As they dance and they twinkle,
Backdrop stage in the Sky?
Fear not when they shoot
And I silently wish,
For your skin to touch mine,
While my body you lavish
Delicious days turn,
To naughty filled nights
My inhibitions graciously
Fade
Mystical time,
Sumptuous summer
This sensuous season,
You, I’d not trade

I breathe in this second
To exhale to the past
This moment I live,
Not my first, not my last
I open my eyes
To see how far I’ve gone
Close them to dream
Of what’s left to come
I look at my fingers,
My blessings I count
They surpass tribulations
By an amazing amount
I go in to my heart
To find that it’s whole,
Despite times of emotional
Overload
I take awe in the day,
How simplistic it is
It’s perfect, its mine
Yes, mine it ‘tis
I speak with my soul,
And not with my mind
“I’m in love with my world”
Are the words that I find
A moment of silence
Realigns my way
This moment of silence,
As my prayer each new day
Time begins to tick
I want more road to travel-
Distance till the end
Stars halt their glisten
To hear my wish,
For a timeless journey,
Of one on one bliss
So take me over,
As the moon does the sky
Feel passion burn,
Through this iced
Winter night
Stay with me till,
The sun wakes to rise
Giving again, your love,
Before you say
Good-bye
It is said that a Woman, will prove her devotion,
To a Man when he’s nothing to give
And the Mans devotion to Woman, when he has risen above,
Has it all, and with her,
Still chooses to live
When together you sail a fictitious boat,
Through high waters, desperate for land
Offer him hope through the crashing waves,
When lifes course doesn’t change on command
Feed his ego, with all the love that you feel,
Enjoy a bottle of budget Bordeaux
Let his confidence rest, somehow peacefully,
Knowing you’ve no plan to go
When the time comes that he’s, spotted land,
And the waves are like silk through a breeze,
His navigator shows a steady path,
Towards good fortune, fine life,
The dream now he sees
The dark seas have been swapped, for city lights
A sudden no care in the world
Bills are paid, the champagne flows,
The old Sails become now, safely furled
Sailor and Damsel, I have a word,
One to share with you
The lesson of love you’ve learned out there,
Keep it fresh and always,
Keep it in view
Don’t forget the year of trying times,
The one that you chartered,
Not long ago
Don’t forget to tell each other,
You’d be fine,
As long as together, sharing budget Bordeaux
I’m sure, we have all woken up this way once or twice in our lives….
I woke up to a Tuesday,
I’ve done this thousands of times before
But something about this wakening,
Has strained me to the core
I woke within a strangers thoughts,
The night must have stolen my mind
My head is aching, my body weak,
Rational thoughts, I cannot find
I didn’t sense me leaving,
I didn’t feel this come
How could it be, 2nd day in the week,
That I have come undone
Plan A has gone straight passed plan B,
Now to create C
To remove, foreign mind occupation,
Using strength with strategy
Where is the logic, who flipped the switch?
Who took rational away?
Who created this war, internal struggle,
And let a stranger invade my day
Not wanted to build, but the walls are up,
Reaction of defense
Defending now my peace of mind,
As protection to these events
So take a hike, you thoughts so crazed,
As I, take a breath so deep
And exhale so hard and blow you out,
Putting me, back on my feet
Sometimes it takes a sleepless night
To awaken from a dream
To realize that the cloud you walk,
Is not as real as it had seemed
Sometimes it takes a moment,
To cancel out a life
Realize that the faith you had,
Is now lost with just one lie
Sometimes it takes a player
To come in to your heart
To realize that the charm and wit,
Are just their form of art
Sometimes it takes a heart of gold,
To melt and turn to stone
To realize that, all along,
Your love has always, been alone
Sometimes it’s best to trust your gut,
Because it is your best friend
Only then you’ll shorten, false loves pain,
And get quicker to the end
Dedicated to you,
I long to stay
Every moment, cherished new
Grateful for this life of ours,
On a road, shared by love true
It is a story of truth,
From not yesterday
But a chapter of life,
Now seemed far away
My 4 year old daughter was taken to shop,
Perhaps for my birthday, that part I’ve forgot
But that is a detail to leave to the side,
It’s not of importance, and soon, you will know why
At home I was busy with newborn twins,
Life seemed not to end when each day would begin
I thought I could handle the days even though,
Sometimes it was hectic, but I managed the flow
Inside I was harrowed, sometimes filled with knots
Thought I could hide my fatigue, I guess not
I could not fool my child, even when I’d think,
I was in control, when in fact on the brink
I remember her placing, this tiny gift in my hand,
A package, wrapped alone and quite well
Inside was her heart, her beauty, her soul
A gift of ceramic Snail and Turtle
Her present, a symbol, its message of hope,
To slow down, in her times of her need
That I should just take it easy, relax a bit,
And enjoy the gifts, Gods given me
That was the day I stopped in my tracks,
Looked deep in her big hazel eyes
Thanked the heavens up above,
For a Child so beautiful and wise
Inspired by hearing my “Waiting” read by Anthony and conversations with my first poetic inspiration here on WP, Jay, a writer of poetry with an eloquent style that’s begged to be discovered, I decided to add an audio. I learned from Anthony that not only do we write, but we are, interpreted. I listened to his rendition of “Waitng”, as it was felt to him. It was a wonderful experience as I listened. I thought it may be interesting to hear my voice, how this new poem reads to me. The first lines are an inspiration from a comment from Anthonys partner. Soon I hope Jay, will charm you over the moon with the beauty of his voice set to his words-
Pilot of Life
„Have more answers than questions“,
T’was a tip today, a good one that I received
“We have wings and do fly,
If your mind is open,
All you must do is believe”
Close your eyes in the face of sadness,
Close your eyes, and let go
Travel to a corner, of peace in your mind,
On the invisible wings of your soul
Don’t search, don’t look,
Beyond what you’ve got
Be Tranquil now,
With your haves and have nots
While trusting the reason
Why it’s this way
As you travel your life,
In each predestined day
Do not give dignity,
To the questions of why
Travel beyond from that weight,
…Just fly
You’re the Pilot of life, on your own runway,
Never question the power of hope
Who says that we, cannot fly,
With wings on our souls to elope
My father wished me beauty
To find within my life
He spoke this dream to me
The day I stood in white
He prayed I’d find my guidance
On my way and keep the course
That all is there within my reach
There’s no such thing as loss
Because life is filled with beauty
It dares you to be seen
A gift right here for you each day
Take it, before it’s been
He spoke these words of wisdom
But with sorrow and a tear
He spoke the words he wished he’d heard
Now that his end was drawing near
He knew each breath was precious
Felt each moment of the day
Thanked the Lord up above
For this night, letting him stay
“What a Wonderful World” was our dance
Though our feet never touched the floor
In comfort we listened, arm in arm
Exchanging words of love and adore
The heavens opened just months later
To welcome home my Rock, my Dad
As I wept, the sun shone brighter
Gracious, for the gift, that they now had
I don’t want,
To be where I am
I do not want,
To be here
I do not want
To be in a place,
Where it’s empty words
That fill my ears
I do not want,
To be left to think,
That all is just for naught
That all this energy, all this fight,
I lost before I fought
I do not need,
To be where I am
I choose to wander away
Not worth feeding me some lines,
For reasons I should stay
I don’t need to wonder why,
I’m in the place I’m in
I seem to welcome every time,
Trust, while others sin
Here I chill inside the cold,
Of truth that does not hide
Here I put on sweaters,
Just to warm me from the lies
Watch me as
I give up,
And surprise those all around
Watch them at
Their disbelief,
When I stand upon my ground
And tell them I don’t need it,
To be their second string
Tell them to go back, away,
My life is worth something
Can’t have your cake and eat it too,
No longer will I wait,
Till you decide to give it up
My decision has been made
The Starting End
