With Love To My Husband

When you came to my life,
I do not remember when I started wanting to be your wife.

Your innocent proposal to me made me spellbound,
My mind had to take no second thought's round,
to say a 'YES' and spend the rest of my life in your arms,
ever increasing my life's charms.

Your capacity to hear,
sometimes makes my eyes shed down a tear.
You always hear my woes,
which many a times keep you on your toes,
preparing ideas for dealing with my foes.

You've been a professional mentor,
who always occupies my heart's center.

You've a poor sense of humor,
but I've never seen you spread any rumor.

It's not that we never fight,
which has given us days both dark and bright,
But Promise me, Promise me- We would always do things that are right,
And I promise you that I would always think of you with a smile before closing my eyes every night ....
   
                   -Love Wify to her Dear Hubby on his 30th B'day

This Gypsy Soul

 This gypsy soul is on the road

It leaves castles far behind

It abandons ghostly mist

which sabotages the caravan of life

It passes along the mountainside

by golden hay fields where daises bloom

By streams  of waters   which  sweeps  a withered rose

towards the decayed lumber fume

This gypsy soul is on the road from Edinburgh to Loch Lomond

against high winds,against the rain,against aquatic monsters of pain

This gypsy soul is on the road to the woodlands of your heart

where I would camp inside your tent as our blissful thoughts impart

This gypsy soul within myself and all the woman in me

would wantingly await your fingertips to  compose soft pastels'fantasy

The smell of early coffee  then fills our empty cups

The song of the cicada  would echo in the shrubs

And as the chimney smoke  drift sideways in the breeze

as warm dappled light filters through purple pansy leaves

The pressing of my lips would leave their crimson mark below your sun-kissed  cheek

My arms would cling around your once muscular physique

We laze upon a hammock strung between two old oak trees

I play on your guitar my hundred melodies

As the incandescent half moon  rises above the dusky hue

and orange paper lanternes  float high in cobalt blue

We'd chase the opalescent  glow of a million firefly

You'd be able to touch me  before last embers die

This gypsy soul is on tne road in search to be set free

Across bridges on a journey,your compass -my destiny. 


This is a repost of a poem I've written the 30th of April 2014

Hobart Harlot

Had chasing salacious not sparked her curious 
     Outcast student wouldn’t have bothered to goad
     Beguile fellow fifteen year old, sordid suggested
     Accompany her on dirty double date, get stoned
     Recklessly rush into raunchy actions, clueless
     Temptation harvests travesty, tender suspended


     Hidden in high laughing heart, slick chimera pelt
     Adrenaline aces enamour or war around the corner
     Ready to frolic,fight, backpacks bulge with bravado
     Lurid drunk promenade, concrete jungle hunt fauna
     Onyx drawn eyes harden dark, debauchery dealt 
     Transfers opioids, rapid ricochet carries cruel cargo







                         30th May
                They’ll never get cold

Manifesto

On May 11th, Hawaii did declare,
The pandemic's end, no longer a scare.
Federal word, the last state to know,
Preparing for changes in the vaccine flow.

Medicaid shifts, seniors in plight,
September 24th, the end in sight.
In early June, insurers did call,
Reassessing coverages, answers to stall.

July brought news, uncertain and grim,
Doctors from Honolulu, prospects dim.
August 13th, a reevaluation came,
Insurance updates, changes to name.

September 4th, last talks in the air,
Doctors and insurers, a tangled affair.
Neighbors noticed a front lanai void,
Paramedics broke in, stained glass destroyed.

September 30th, Hilo Hospital's care,
Unconscious, admitted, a fate to bear.
Rehabilitating now, seeking what's just,
Attorney in tow, a lawsuit a must.

In court, on the prosecutor's side,
Facing defenses, where Luigi will bide.
From issue to hope, a journey so grand,
Manus, Festus, Infestus – a fight at hand.

Euthanized Love

A violin sings low in sugar sweet voice 
their wanton  eyes locked in each other
temptation twitching to make a choice
in a burst of euphoria, caress of a lover.

unfurled petals with mesmeric dreams 
waiting for vivacious spring to arrive
in heat of lust flutters enflamed beams
words tremble within playful jab and jive 

in perfect harmony of paths disaligned
closer and closer... distant as the stars
where water meets sky in horizon behind 
stardust swim a sea, for hours and hours   

thousand shards broken heart endures
secluded memories in an old rusty box
Even though I know  I will never be yours
Yet crippled and euthanized love unlocks.

Inhaling your breath, I flow in your veins
We can hear our hearts beating through  
tempest raging a menaced world of pain 
in a radiant blush, she says, "I still love you".

Premium Member If I Had a Time Travel Machine

Get me inside quickly and as fast as you can, 
please turn the time travel dial to September 1963
Get me to a post office in Washington, D.C., 
so I can send an important letter to Jacque Kennedy.

The letter will tell her about her newest son, Patrick, 
ahead of time I will give her his four pound birth weight.
To prove I am ahead, and I know what I am talking about, 
I will tell her about my time travel, and warn her of the fate

And that her husband, President John F. Kennedy
is in grave danger, warn her on November 23rd, 1963, 
If she lets him go to Dallas and ride in an open limousine, 
he will be assassinated at her knee.

Trip number two, will bring me to February 1968,
but I will stay in the same post office. Here is the thing.
I will write a detailed letter to Coretta Scott King, 
warning her about the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King.

To prove that I am reliable I will tell her that January 30th, 
1956 is the day a bomb 
will go off on her porch, but it will not hurt anyone. 
After a little sandwich, and a drink in a cold fountain,
I will now dial up August 14th, 1969, and head to the 
Catskill Mountains,

It will be splendid to be the first to arrive,
At Woodstock, a day ahead of the crowd 
of 400, 000, now I am feeling truly alive.
I will be civil, not puffed up or proud.

I will spend three glorious days enjoying the music here, 
enjoying the hip-hugging bell-bottoms, dairy cows, staying clear 
of the bra-less women and the minds that are a bit unclear.

My last trip is easy. I will return to two days ago, and from breakfast 
re-do that entire day.
I was pretty mean to my husband, 
and I would like to stop myself from acting that way.

Premium Member Within Your Rings

Sometimes thirty years
feels like a long time
When you’re an old soul
and the hours and minutes
have taken their toll

But there are songs to write
and words to weigh
messages to impart
and things to say

So another song percolates
Flows out onto the table
You sigh deeply 
and for a moment feel stable

If only life could be simple
Cause living in your head is lonely
You keep thinking to yourself
“ Has anyone ever known me?”

I could write you a poem
Lighthearted and breezy
But you’re complicated
 no one can promise easy

Even though you’re searching for answers
we can read the rings in your wood
Although at times you feel ancient
An old soul can be understood

There are more songs to write
and souls that need caressing 
By keeping your words honest
there is release in confessing 

For within you resides
a God who is loving
He’s the source of your words
the reason they are bubbling

So take his hand
Never be alone again
He’s older and wiser
and can carry your pain

Happy 30th Birthday 
I am a fan of you

An Unsolved Mystery Experience

(Posted today 30th sept 2020)

I'm not quick to be fanciful
as I tend to explain every mystery
   in a natural, rational, scientific way.
Yet one of the few unexplained mysteries in my life 
                     which refuse to be erased from memory 
was when there was an earthquake years ago
     And both dad and I felt the presence of heavy
ginormous wingspans beating on our roof
     as if that huge flying creature 
was causing the quaking and shaking of the earth beneath us.
     Lots of thoughts still roll in my mind to explain it.
Was it a supernatural Angel causing the jolting 
     or was it some flying dinosaur like a pterosaur
which hadn't gone extinct but was too evasive and elusive?
   to be documented by discoverers.

   I could try inking a dactyl on pterodactyls
but I just can't think of a rational explanation of what 
     we heard and felt but never saw .
Seeing is believing but so is hearing and feeling.
Its wings and flapping wing beat had felt and sounded 
      like some mammoth bird bigger than an ostrich .
  So what in the big wide world was this creature
                      right on our roof overhead 
                           that we never got to see?

Premium Member Be Quiet

Be quiet





Betrayal was so evident
in your eyes,
Once shimmered bright
in my passion,
Words could not say
so I chose to be quiet !

Waves that once giggled
and created melody,
Humming of the bees
flutter of butterflies,
Everything stood still,
I chose to be quiet !

Followed you everywhere
with my heartbeats,
That now no longer beat,
Emotions that swayed
to the tune of love,
Flowed and flooded
now have dried !

Burning desires
reduced to ashes,
No smoke seen
not a cry,
Could you perceive
my cravings in angst,
and assure me,
A quantum of trust 
Why I chose to be quiet ?

NOVEMBER 30TH, 2023


The echoes of the slam still haunt the air,
A limping ghost, the trauma's heavy share.
The lawyer's words, a hollow, broken plea,
Justice delayed, a cruel eternity.

One year, two years, the clock relentlessly ticks,
Three years of limbo, where the spirit breaks.
The plea bargain looms, a soul-crushing trade,
For freedom lost, a heavy price is paid.

Handcuffs again, a chilling, familiar sting,
Rights recited, a meaningless, hollow thing.
The prison gates, a chasm dark and deep,
Where hope lies buried, and the soul must weep.

But even here, a flicker, faint and small,
A whisper of resilience, rising above it all.
A memory of laughter, a love that still remains,
A promise whispered, that hope will rise again.
