Best Aby Poems
Make as you feel it
In the sense of your feel
Without forgetting sense
Fais comme tu le sens
Dans le sens de tes sens
Sans oublier le sens
Aby M.
The moon likes to hide
to arouse the yearning for life
Longing of Longing
Life in urge
Aby M.
A seagull flies away
Non-stop direct
Straight to the ocean
Aby M.
Baby birds on a branch, musically twittering,
Evening sunsets and dawns radiant and wonderful;
Animals, great and small, all these are so fascinating,
Utterly lovely is a forest draped in tangled vines graceful.
To me, all these things are divine, sublime and so alluring,
Incredible, exquisite things inspire me to write poems delightful;
Family stories told by elders, in the night with candlelight flickering,
Until the end of time, I will write of these things that make life colorful.
Lovely scenes of creatures grazing and horses in a meadow, free and running,
Light upon my garden flowers, snowflakes falling and all things, oh so beautiful.

I believed I saw you
at the top
of Carteret Street
Beloved*
But it wasn't you
Just the inspiration of you
I thought I saw you
at the end
of Ocean Avenue
Chinaski*
But it wasn't you
Just a whiff of you
I walked to Liberty Park
And I saw you
In a ray of sunlight
Bandini*
But it wasn't you
Just a shadow of you
I thought I saw you
On the boat
With your laughing eyes
Manolin*
But it wasn't you
Just the sea
that remembered you
And there at last
I saw you
My Little Prince*
on your cloud-tree
This time it's safe
I see you
Aby M.
P.S.*** :
Beloved is Toni Morrison's character in Beloved

Colimaçon...
Nowadays
I didn't get lost
Nowadays
I didn't lose you
Colimaçon...
Nowadays
I didn't look for you
Newadays
I found myself
Colimaçon...

Idea is not to drive you crazy
But let's go crazy

Natalia’s expecting her very first child
Early morning sickness thankfully it is mild
When feeling first kick, husband and wife smiled
Baby names chosen for girls and boys
Eager friends buy clothing and soft toys
Great excitement at Natalia’s due date
Isaac and Natalia simply cannot wait
No sign of contractions, the time drags by
Next day labor and baby gives a hearty cry
Incredible joy when they take baby home
Now life’s complete with their son Jerome
Getting into routine, they’re finding it strange
Sleep deprivation – both hope that will change!

Getting to say it
In this real life
Even if we said it
To each other
Without saying it
To each other
While saying it
To each other.

Golden Lady
When I was little my mother used to tell me...
Life is not a novel
I chose life as a theater
When I was little my father always told me...
Take it easy
I ran headlong into life
Free like a river...
The present of the moment
Or the moment of the present...
When I was baby my mummy used to sing to me...
Ayo néné...
Touti Néné...
And I sang it when I became mother myself
When I was a baby my daddy used to sing to me...
You are the sunshine of my life...
And I forgot it
The gift of the present
Or the moment of the past...
When I came to New York...
People called me Golden Lady
And looking for Golden Lady...
I found a Stevie Wonder song
When I was little I called my Grandpa'Thanks...
And in my little voice I'd tell him
I just call to say I love youuu...
And I'd hang up
For a moment in the present
Forgotten in the future...
Thanks New York
That brings back wonderful memories of childhood
Oops ! I forget my Grandma'Ola

Write, all right ?
Right, all write ?
Yes, if you write you will be always right :o)

She cried
All the tears
Of her body
Of his heart
Of her mind
Until
Only his soul
Can reveal herself
Can transform himself
In the flood of the Nile
This is the way it is
That flew away
The first Imperial Aquila
Lonely
Heavenly
Invisibly
In search of fourteen pieces
Stolen
Scattered
Dismembered
Of her Love

Do we really have
The choice of anchovies
on the pizza dough ?

Spending time being reborn
in a drop of water
it's topical !
Aby M.
So small and loving
As two little sparrows
Vulnerable and powerful
The only footprint left on your path
Everywhere you went
On this earth
You are
There
You have left
The sole of your feet
Aby M.
