When You Spoke My Name

Say my name.

You said my name, it felt so intimate as if you spread some jam upon my lips and then you licked it off. The loving way you said my name had felt as if you'd kissed my center of deep sensuality. As if the simple act of naming me had been seductive, lustful, and unleashed. And all the time it came so naturally, no pretense, clean and true, just giving me completely of your heart and...Read On

Memories

They have to leave the house, the house painted so lovingly, they carry their cat with them, they already placed their dog In a kennel, till they find a place, they don´t complain, they go on, just seeing all is taken care of. And the child follows them, shaken for a minute at first, at their rapidly changing station, comforted then at their new one. They would change hotels,...Read On

Computer Jargon

Frustration of computer language!

Is there anybody out there, who finds it hard like me, To understand computers, each time I press a key? It asks me silly questions, like would I like to sync? Or would I like to clear my cache? If so, then click the link. Can anybody tell me, what is a terabyte? Is it something that will bite me? It sounds as though it might. Every time I go online while waiting to connect. ...Read On

In Memory of Tot

Losing your best friend.

When we got him as a puppy, he was angry and afraid – a little mutt with attitude that didn’t make the grade. He wasn’t born with papers, didn’t have a pedigree, refused to follow orders – wouldn’t go outside to pee. Rescued from the system – being passed from hand to hand he needed a forever home – a final place to land. It took some time to settle in – to learn his way around, to revel...Read On

Us, now.

Bound to schedules and shifting hours, in an ever-changing background, grinding minutes for all they are worth In a shaking world of multiple duties, struggling to reach now-not-so-clear goals falling into some devouring marshes we had always managed to overlook, we go on, holding onto scraps of reality, those pitiful reminders of the life we knew. ...Read On

Had I known

Funny how I come back to poetry to sort my thoughts

Had I known your friendship had conditions I would not have been your friend. Had I known you would not ever try to listen I would not have put effort to speak. Had I known you would use every excuse I would not have expected more from you You want to say I lead you on You want to say I used you You want to say I'm wrong You want to say that I should talk to you And yet all I...Read On

light hearted view of myself

I should have seen it coming, when work began to slow. A downturn in the market, so they had to let me go. I’ve hung up all my work clothes, embraced my new career. My new job’s sort of different, I’m a domestic engineer. In charge of child development, on duty day and night. With my Ph.D. in tantrums, I always get it right. The pay is non-existent and the hours can be long....Read On

It's Only Make-Believe

But it's only make-believe

It may be only make-believe but real enough for us until the season's sighs can drift and melt our dreams' reality. A time for us to touch. Caressing bliss with every cat-like purr of vibrant trust. We move along the patterns of the grid that maps our place, our home within this world that lives expands and grows with every smile. It's only make-believe but still, it makes us free.

It was a time I should remember well

It is a time I should remember well, the feelings special still when I recall. It may be true the thoughts of you are spread across the years and visions do not come to me as I would wish that they might do. If you should ever pass me by I'd know that you were one so pure, so precious in my life both then and now. A magic truth that will not leave my mind and still goes on remaining in my...Read On

Schizophrenia

Just lost in nuances in busy corners of the mind and tricks of elusive memory, feeling feeble fragments of some hidden reality, lost in a thick dark fog, in an already crumbling world, holding onto some figments of a menacing dimension, falling into a spiralling vortex caved into the shifting sands of the trembling Psyche. ...Read On

To Purge

With grief comes trauma and then the purge

Shock rushes through your very bones To rise and fall like waves of a restless sea Plunging your heart deep into the cavity of an abyss Where all those go – that are amiss You succumb to feeling numb The present now out of place No trace No hint Not a single glint From what once felt so real A tangible being To touch To smell To hear … Now you feel As...Read On

A Letter to Love

For who is Love? My heart knows not, I write to you to plea; Dear Love, I want to meet you now, Please grace my life with thee. You see, I fell for Lust's disguise, and Lonely tricked me too; A fevered kiss was not enough, For nothing found was you. I quiver when his hand holds hers, love's in his gentle kiss; He whispers you with chosen words, I ache to feel her bliss. ...Read On

It is no use looking for me, I waited for you too long a time, kept the torches burning in a temple you had forsaken and I was left to see crumbling. Still, there are traces of myself in the...Read On

Let the wind lift you up on your dreaming wings

Eyes open slowly, the horizon spreading out. Awaken with joy. Bird songs whistle and fill our ears triumphantly. The prairie is alive. Blue skies above us, scarlets and ambers blending. Blossoms have appeared. Viewing the landscape as we share the atmosphere. Breathing perfumed air. Hands entwined warmly feeling the moisture mixing. Sharing our heartbeats. Breezes carry notes; winds...Read On
