My Poems

A welcomed day

Today I’m like the sky –
an open stage for all kinds of auras.
Whether the mood low or high
I am, accept, let go,
just like the peaceful sky.

A day at the beach

Sadness, joy,
where do they come from?
From the outside or the inside?
Today, joy
visited me, externally –
the beach, and the sun,
the waves, and the sand,
your smiles… –
prompted a few fresh moments
to be lived through happily.

Revaluation

I will not find It
in escape,
nor in my beloved books,
nor in the vastness of the web.

I will succeed though
in real life.
I’ll search for It
in the Other, and in myself.

Perhaps, I’ll discover It
in faith…,
but this today is hard to know…

***

There are some
who don’t necessarily travel much,
and yet you can read them
as if a saga or an adventure novel.

And, there are those
who move around constantly…,
only to be taken in
as a flashy poster or a bulletin.

The spring calling

As spring arises
I stroll
happily
openly
freely
and I ask
I mutely call
for a poem
to come to me

With growth comes change

When I were younger
I looked for poetry within me.
Now, I try looking around
to find wider view.

When I began writing
I lived in a closed off muddle.
Now, I try to be clear and open
to let poetry flow through.

Back then,
I fed on fear and confusion.
Now, I try to be up and light and write
from a brighter point of view.

Peacefulness

I woke up from a deep nap.
The house was quiet.
I made myself coffee
in my favorite cup.

I sat on the couch
put a blanket over my knees
and began floating in my thoughts
like on rippling seas.

I heard my favorite music –
the kind one hears from a lonely boat –
and in this soothing silence
I reached for a pen and wrote.

A secret

There is something
I am ashamed of
and don’t like to admit to;
something bugging me.

Fortunately, it’s far away.

But, when I look in the mirror
it seems to be
inside of me
and repeat “I’m here to stay.”

It urges me to open up,
reveal the leitmotif,
so that it ceases to be a secret
and turns into light, truth,
and relief.

Thank you

This morning
my body felt
like a burning kettle.

Nothing –
neither tidying up,
nor yoga,
nor green tea
managed to soothe me.

Then,
you rang the bell,
entered the house,
and smiled –
radiantly and calmly,
and only this
has helped to put me in peace.

Motivational poem

What is it
that catches your attention?
What makes you feel inspired?
Once you spot it –
frame it, like a precious picture,
and give it proper place
to look at and admire.

What is it
that makes you feel glee?
What do you dream when you’re awake?
Once you define it –
go for it!
For without you
it will never be.

What is it
you love most?
What is your ideal world?
Once you build it –
nourish it, like a garden,
and remember –
you’re in that garden the host.
