When Fate Has the Last Word
In front of me stands a big truck
I’m trapped inside the parking lot
#PoetryDay – 169
In front of me stands a big truck
I’m trapped inside the parking lot
The call of nature
Makes flowers bloom and trees bud
Life comes back again
In Love and Light
There may be days
You plan quite well
You think they’ll flow
Like a calm well
Sometimes we stand still
Enjoying the moment’s bliss
Seeing who we are
In Love and Light
When I thought about today’s poem, nothing would come to my mind. After a few moments, I was humming a song from the early 90s. I remembered an old school friend sent it to me after he learned about me writing poems. He said it was playing in his head after he read my poems. Although the song is rather melancholic, it never misses to touch my heart because it is connected with many memories of a time long ago. And then the poem almost wrote itself…

Who am I and who
Am I supposed to be?
Is my life going right
Or is there something I don’t see?
Listening to songs
Of long-gone days
Reminding me of times
When there was little to miss
Now think of something
You enjoyed
Don’t think of what
You’d like to avoid
Where all is colorful and bright.
Where you never say good night.
Where there’s lightness and liberty.
Where there’s everything in harmony.
When something bothers you in life
You have a choice to turn
Away from it or turn towards
Regarding the concern
Sometimes, I don’t know what to share
Caught up in daily life
Then I sit down, empty my thoughts
Let inspiration thrive
Can you explain
How joy does feel
So big, you think
It can’t be real
After the storm, they say
The sun shines again
After the rain
The air’s clean, I claim
We come and vanish
No one knows it in advance
Enjoy the moment
In Love and Light
Sometimes pain is all you feel
Although you can’t see through
It is love in disguise
Reminds of what is true
When what you already felt
All of a sudden, proves you right
You ask yourself why did you worry
‘Though the answer’s been always inside.
Not knowing what the future brings
Curiosity that also scares
Careful steps toward new rooms
Leaving familiar spheres
If I can or can’t
The difference: a letter
Erase it: a choice
In Love and Light
When I think, I am so smart
Perhaps I should consider
Things are more complex and I
Get lost in my own filter
When a storm rages inside
You cannot simply close the window
You cannot hide below the ground
To keep it from harming you
The smile inside you
Generates joy around you
With chain reactions
In Love and Light
You cannot solve
Another person’s problem
Although you would love to
Burn it for them
The most important thing to be
Is not a house or a big car
It’s not a bursting bank account
Or expensive clothes to wear
Love is the bonfire
We are its dancing red flames
No doubt, we are one
A dream to forget
Is useless waste of your time
It will only grow
In Love and Light
You may think it’s all in vain
Since circumstances changed
You may think what you worked for
Is hopeless, can’t be rearranged
Have you ever been there
When you thought all hope was gone?
Have you ever thought that which felt right
Seems now all wrong?
Smiling at someone
Can be the lift they needed
Never stop smiling
In Love and Light
Do you know yourself?
One word can destabilize
Your ego’s structure
In Love and Light
Hope is Still believing
When signs tell you “do not”
Hope is Not resigning
When you can’t see a lot
We don’t want to grow old
But everyone wants to live long
We don’t mean to soil the planet
But everyone wants to travel the world
Headache’s stopping me
Universe is ensuring
I silence my thoughts
In Love and Light
If only my day had
More than 24 hours
It still would not suffice
More ideas came in showers
Love can’t be found, love can’t be chased
Love cannot even be erased
Love is a form of life itself
That made life possible, pure source of health
Liberation doesn’t come
From passing on your pain
To others who are not
In charge – that is in vain
With every poem that I write
I hope I can inspire
To spread a message that supports
Is all that I desire
It’s interesting to watch myself
How I deal with my life
When an already busy day
Says here’s one more surprise
When you start to realize
A plan you carried along
Maybe you ask yourself one day
If what you do is right or wrong
Pour all your burdens over me
Let all your worries fly free
When you are sad I open up a door
to lead you out of your inner war
You threw out a question
A desperate call
You still wait for an answer
But have you listened at all?
There are those who lead you
When you don’t see a way
There are those who teach you
When you are led astray
Rise and fall
So close together
We need to risk both
Or we’ll get stuck forever
Every time I look outside
I see something new
Something growing, something flying
Clouds and sun in different hues
When I look back on my life
I see how far I’ve come
It needed effort, sometimes pain
Often it was a lonely run
The sun breaks through the clouds
The flower through the ground
The meadow becomes lush
The first bees buzz around
Each One’s Responsibility
Why is it that we still don’t see
That we are dancing our last dance
To save our planet, maybe we
Already lost our given chance
Whatever you were going through
You learned that it will pass
No matter how hard something was
You made it through, at last
Moments of soul talks
The universe, a marble
Brief enlightenment
In Love and Light
Since my work schedule in my employed job has changed, my weekly poem will be published on Thursdays from now on.
If I just could, if I had time
Too afraid to fall or fail
It’s too late, not worth the try
Such phrases make a life so pale
Today, I am sharing a poem I wrote back in 2014. That poem is part of my e-book “Enjoy Life!” which is available on amazon.
So many wonders in this world – at times, we’re blessed with light
Experiencing precious moments which illuminate the night
In them, we find true happiness, and in the dear ones in our life
The love we get from all of them: Keep in your heart to thrive!
Life is not always roses
There’s never been a promise
Through challenges and hurdles
We are to grow on these
A dirty man with a strange smell
Or maybe one who does
Make sure that our streets are clean
Or that the landscape thrives?
People are not good or bad
They’re the experience they make
What they believe is true might look
To us like a big fake
The world outside my window
Is grey and pretty cold
Maybe it’s only winter
But somehow, that’s not all
Sometimes life takes unexpected turns
You think you know what to leave, what to do
Then it throws you a sign, invisible to others
And you know that your thoughts were anything but true
Yesterday I shared a few things about my life with you. So, for today’s poem, I thought it was fitting to share the lyrics of the song I am currently working on. I spare you unnecessary text repetitions. I hope you like it.

Journey leads through nights
Feeling like the end of days
Hope is almost gone
Feeling so much love in me
Seeing how the world could be
Absorbing all the good it holds
I know, not only I can see
There are a lot of things each day
A phrase, an image, a song
They trigger memories in me
Still vividly alive and strong
Today, my Monday post will be a little different – fewer words yet a lot of food for thought I think.

The wind blows strong around my ears
The days have gotten colder
Daylight’s making itself scarce
More textiles now, around my shoulder
Sometimes I just smile
At the flight of a bee
At the crickets’ song
At the wind in the tree
When I let my thoughts fly free
Nothing holds me down
When I hold my limits high
Only my feet do touch the ground
I’m following the river
Beginning at its well
A tiny little trickle
Not knowing it will swell
Leaving seeds of kindness
With every step you take
Whenever you look back
You see the garden you create
Finding what I’m looking for
Finding what I need
Finding who I think I am
At least a germinal seed
When in your head
Is raging a hurricane
When every thought hurts
And drives you insane
Are you aware of how
precious you are today
In fact, you’ve always been
And you will always be
A little bit of light
Can make me see right through
A little bit of calm
Can help to change my view
Following routines
Checking on their means
Organizing
Supervising
Handling people’s spleens
The joy that a song can bring
When it reminds you of a time
That you enjoyed so much
We all want our place
We all want to succeed
We want approval and acceptance
For who we are for what we need
Listen to the wind when it softly blows through the leaves,
See the flowers waving with its melody,
Feel the gentle touch on your skin…
Feel the peace.
What do we need when flowers whither
Because there is no light, and no water fills the river
The thought when results don’t meet expectations
The desire when you are longing for explanations
When people don’t cooperate
When you begin your life to contemplate
When plans are shattered or don’t work out
When you wish for things your wallet does not allow
I’m thankful for my feelings, from happiness to pain.
I’m thankful that none of it I experience is in vain.
I’m thankful for nature, for the ocean’s endless wide range.
I’m thankful for each person that gives my view a change.
It’s so easy to judge someone
From your restricted point of view
But there’s a hidden iceberg
Behind what you think is true
You gave yourself
You gave your all
How can you now feel
Like hitting a wall
Hello, little Snowflake
Thanks for visiting me
Although you fell to death
You touched my nose with glee
Is love only a word
A feeling we explore
Does it subside over the years
What once was all and more
It’s that time of year again
When hearts are a little more
Transparent and open
From and to their core
When I get insecure and lose
The ground beneath my feet
When the horizon turns from blue
To black, a scary wall to meet
When thoughts of love
Run through my heart
When my mind stops
Its thoughts-spinning art
My wish for you is that
Your wishes get fulfilled.
To make this coming true,
Your doubts have to be killed.
Today, I want to share a thought as touching and insightful as it gets, inspired by a poem Colin, of MeAndRay, shared with me a few weeks ago.

Escaping reality
For just a few days
Recharging my batteries
Clearing my mind’s maze
Forgiving can be hard
When things start to repeat
Intentions that things change
But seems, they never did
Love to look at my rose
Delicate petals unfold
Such delicate color
From a root that’s quite old
There are so many gifts surrounding us
We only have to open our eyes and see
There is so much beauty surrounding us
We only have to open our minds and feel
Only in silence, our minds are getting clear –
The clearer the mind, the smaller the fear.
Fulfillment
Have you ever seen a bee
Following its purpose
Have you ever seen a tree
Doubting its strength and growth
We knew each other for so long
For about forty years
How can it be with fifty-one
That you were meant to leave
I’m sitting in a meadow
Pondering about life
What really is important
What is the greatest prize
The glow that I see in your eyes
The burning fire in your heart
The smile that’s getting brighter when
You feel that spring’s about to start
As you can see from the title, I have decided to expand the range of topics for poems on Tuesdays.For the most part, the poems remain romantic, but I am often inspired by other things that I would like to share. Since I can’t find the time to post more often, I choose this option. Ultimately though, it’s always about love anyway, just not always the romantic kind.
Read more ›The sound so sweet
The rhythm of my heart’s beat
A move that takes my breath away
That look that drove me completely crazy
Love is a peculiar thing
You don’t know how it acts
Maybe it comes rushing in
Or it slowly expands
I’m longing for a love
Presenting Yin and Yang
A give and take complete
Two hearts that make them one
I’m feeling like the morning sun
So new and full of joy
Welcoming life and all it brings
My heart’s a fireball, oh boy
Is there one way
or are there two?
Am I walking on my own
or am I doing it with you?
I lose myself
In the ocean of your eyes
I fall into a depth
But at the same time, I rise
Only one embrace
Lasted a little too long
Energies merged
Memories and feelings return
Feels like coming home
A heart that’s holding so much love
Love that wants to be shared
But what to do when the vessel
To pour the love in is not there?
Love was big and then dissolved
I’ve seen it fade in pain
All that was left was just my hope
That I’ll be seen again
I sit under the Christmas tree
Enchanted, mesmerized
A little package looks at me
I haven’t seen it, I’m surprised
Even though my body’s here
My heart is way ahead
It doesn’t matter what life says
It’s traveling instead
A cold and grey November day
The sun decides to hide
I’m looking out the window while
My heart goes on a ride
I’d stretch each ray of sun
To lighten up your day
To make you feel embraced
And chase the cold away
The leaves are falling from the trees
So colorful and bright
Like sending a message that’s like
I will be back ‘though out of sight
Time may pass and time may last
Still, nothing stays the same
Life is progress through its change
But one thing will remain
Whatever thought comes to my mind
Whatever word I say
They all form pictures in my heart
And take me far away
Feelings of a loving heart
Linger in my soul
Causing smiles
Causing tears
Causing longings
Causing fears
What means gratitude?
Awareness of the blessings
And the gift of life
In Love and Light
Feeling lonely, feeling blue
Feeling powerful and new
Feeling like I have grown wings
With each flap my whole heart swings
When clouds are drifting through the sky
In orange, pink and blue
My heart feels like a rainbow
bridging miles from me to you
time loses power
when memories fill the heart
love lasts forever
In Love and Light
Sitting at my little brook
Watching the glittering water flow
How it washes over the sharpest rocks
And softens them over time
How it finds its way
Through the tiniest gaps
Reaching the deepest grounds
Cannot be stopped
My mind goes on a ride
While my heart has already arrived
A journey of a thousand miles
Happens in an instant
The seas I cross
are the streams of your love
The air I breathe
Is the scent of your hair
The wind I feel
Are your fingers caressing my face
The raindrops
Are your kisses covering my cheeks
The warming sun
Is your embrace
When I think of you…
You are with me
A fireball, a shooting star
Tsunami of emotions
A crumbling wall, a clearing view
Deep feelings of devotion
Life goes on, the earth revolves
People come and go
Flowers die and bloom again
Years like rivers flow
It was like searching Easter eggs
I think I hid it well
Too long ago I cared for it
I cannot even tell
I think the most wonderful way
To be just who I am
Is how you do believe in me
And show me that I can
The harder the times the closer we are
If one needs a shoulder the other’s not far
The yearning in my heart
Is pushing me all-day
It keeps me hanging on
Since you’re so far away
A virus teaches
People to slow down and breathe
Nature gets a break
A virus changes all
Losing people, money, time
Daily exhaustion
Anticipation flows
My thoughts flying ahead
Can see what’s ‘bout to come
Love’s vibes vividly spread
