When the stakes are high
29 May 2020
Mind travelled
Through the rising tides
Pregnant waves
Spilling forth
Seaweeds and plankton gushing
Like cry from a heart
To depart
From object of love
Like arrow
Piercing side
Forgotten the unwed bride
Widow of morrow
The sorrow
It wells in the soul
No control
Over tears
They spell out our random fears
When the stakes are high
Reading of the poem:
Eurythmics – Sweet Dreams (Official Video)
Desolation’s land
26 May 2020
It rises
From deep within me
Molten fire
Lava’s ash
Through mind’s eye I see them crash
The colossal waves
Tsunami
Riding through the coast
In my mind
I see it
More than it was meant to be
Upon the first look
Bodies strewn
Particles of dust
The engines
Steel and rust
The only witness that stood
Desolation’s land
Reading of the poem:
Dido – Hurricanes (Official Lyric Video)
Catch me when I fall
25 May 2020
The ducks are flying
Their sturdy wings an emblem
Of solidity
Wisps of airborne white
Traces of a tree shedding
All springtime’s whispers
Bosoms opening
Memories of summer hay
Open green meadows
Waterhen gliding
The reed caressed by the winds
Heartbeats in the chest
Willow tree rising
The bees humming in the sky
Afternoons of May
Summertime blue thoughts
Sprouts springing in rising mind
Catch me when I fall
Reading of the poem:
Evgeni’s Waltz – Abel Korzeniowski
Within mind
24 May 2020
Blackbirds fly
In the summer sky
Forests glow
In my chest
Bosom upon which to rest
Your body awaits
Flailing lungs
Gasping for the air
Broken nights
To repair
Toiling with my daily care
Replenishing days
Dreams to sow
In my memory
Within mind
Count me in
When the hope is running thin
The bliss I rewind
Reading of the poem:
Yann Tiersen – Porz Goret
Only you I loved
22 May 2020
Within me
I now find myself
Within out
Without in
Travesty of innocence
I know my own dark
The true heart
She wells inside me
Now she says
Remember
Everyone I laid eyes on
Only you I loved
Morning’s lark
Wakes in me the light
The nights’ cull
Comes undone
Weaving in chest none to fight
Soul ne’er black nor white
Reading of the poem:
Maksim Mrvica – Hana’s Eyes(HQ)
Under your bright sun
21 May 2020
Daffodils
Spilling in the rain
The garden
Now awash
Flowers and fruit all laden
A feast for your eyes
Your features
Bright and definite
Like the love
Infinite
Gushing through the sentences
Composed by the heart
My shadow
Under your bright sun
Towards which
I now run
Happiness is not mere word
Expression unheard
Reading of the poem:
Half the Perfect World – Madeleine Peyroux
Like a faithful friend
19 May 2020
I feel you
In the moon’s wane light
When we rhyme
Together
My soul feels like a feather
In melding with yours
We sway slow
In intimate dance
The halo
Around us
Trails of the shimmering glow
When our bodies touch
I hear you
Your words are like sun
Spread above
In the sky
Your heart meets my every cry
Like a faithful friend
Reading of the poem:
Those sweet words – Norah Jones
Of Love’s wilderness
16 May 2020
Green foliage
Covering the ground
Seeking eye
Now spellbound
I breathe in the summer’s dew
Seasons brought anew
Clouds gather
High above in skies
They rumble
With the seed
Of water mingling with salt
Life breeds a new creed
Falling rain
Shimmering raindrops
On my head
They sparkle
They point to a new cycle
Of Love’s wilderness
Reading of the poem:
Sam Smith – Fire on Fire
Rumbling in my heart
15 May 2020
Music set
Melodies thriving
In my blood
As they flood
The synapses of my brain
Through journey in ear
Parting point
Rhythm now disjoint
Like my knees
As they ease
Into postures of dances
Of my wild prances
Summer slow
Eases into spring
Daffodils
On the hills
Where I hear your echo ring
Rumbling in my heart
Reading of the poem:
PALO! “Al Monte” • Musica Cubana Salsa Jazz Funk
Only you come forth
14 May 2020
I know not
Spelling of distress
No more now
I Know how
I am no longer mistress
Of my own heart’s vow
A new leaf
Forgotten the grief
I packed bags
Gathered rags
Elevated to riches
From the keen stitches
Soul mended
Intention set North
I abide
By my rules
I will bow not to the fools
Only you come forth
Reading of the poem:
Lost on You-LP (Salsa Version by Cubaneros)
