Therese Bacha Poet Prose Poetry

Breath the Air

There are no secrets in life 
but hidden truth that lies 
beneath the surface. 

My habit of telling myself 
that if only this or that thing 
were different I could leave 
suffering behind me 
than all could go well. 

I think we know ourselves 
better than we actually do, 
thinking we won`t feel guilty 
when we discover our true nature. 

If not I will continue to a stage 
of agonizing surrounded by things 
which could delight me at the time. 
If only I saw them in the right way 
if only I can learn to appreciate them 
so as to be able to continue to breath 
the air and feel the wind. 

I want happiness, I want to be 
in love and become very passionate, 
although I still feel overwhelmed 
by remorse over my past. 

I ask myself, why must I have 
that special talent of making 
myself miserable when i know 
that I cannot eliminate suffering, 
I must try to change the things 
that causes me that pain. 


I Will Very Soon

Caren Krutsinger October 28, 2018 at 7:07 AM I have read two of your poems so far, and I am FAVing this one also. I love the way you think and feel, and express your heart, Therese. Therese Bacha October 31, 2018 at 12:31 AM Hi Caren, I am so so happy that you are giving me heartfelt reviews that are so sincere and warm coming from you. You give me so much happiness, as this is what i need today, and thinking about you tomorrow. I will want so much to know you better by reading your poems which i will do gradually soon. Thank again. Much love Terry xoxo

Duke Beaufort October 24, 2018 at 11:10 AM Hey, the past also teaches us a lot about what not to repeat in the present. The world would be a much better place if people could learn from history including personal experience. You do not have to punish yourself for the past. The past cannot be changed, so it's OK to give yourself a break. Therese Bacha October 31, 2018 at 12:28 AM Hi Duke, yes i know you are so right, but my past has so ugly things that happened to me, they pop up and they take me down, only for a while. I usually if you notice, my poems are what i feel today, what i feel about my past, and i hope for the tomorrow. We will share more about me and at the same time i want to discover you from your poems. Thank you so much. Love Terry xoxo

Richard Lamoureux September 24, 2018 at 12:35 AM Another heart felt piece. I am not in the habit of promoting my book here but I think our backgrounds may be somewhat similar. Check out my website www.wisedummypoet.com there is a link to my ebook. If you don’t have an ereader soup mail me and I can arrange to send you a physical copy. Therese Bacha September 27, 2018 at 9:54 PM I went to your website and read and looked at it. Very nice and elegant. Unfortunately my sickness is a little bit affecting my brain, i forget easily, i hope its nothing worse. But i remember liking a lot what i read and what i saw. Thank you for your review to. Love Terry xoxo
