After rain
birds - suicides
flow straight
under the wheels of cars
After rain
green trees
are
greener
and the smell of grass
breaks in
in the nostrils.
After rain
comes first
silence
after a while
sing
various sonatas.
After rain
I'm walking in the ocean
greenery
stroking feet
the remains of drops.

Touch of words
ignites the senses
and promises
they give hope
for the next day.
Waiting
is no longer a void
and distance
barrier
not to beat.
Joy
it's heart palpitations
with smile
kissing my lips
and body tremor
when you talk to me
my baby.

I sank my face
in heavy rain
seeking relief.
I thought it would be easier
when will wash away my desires
I wanted to wash my longing
remove all defeats
forget the past
quench my sorrows.
I washed my hair with streams
to be a more greener
and dried them with the wind
blowing from the sea.
I took rain drops
in the vessel of my hands
and I watered my lips
let water protect them.
And for a moment I forgot
about all my life
listening to rain drops
washing my body secretly.

Dream
medicine for the soul
oblivion.
Dream
colorful fairy tale,
with a happy ending.
Dream
cyclical phase
REM.
Dream
desire and realism
eternal struggle.
Dream
so why me
accompanied
nightmare?

I dance with the wind
like a broken leaf
swirling in gusts of joy.
Indian summer turns
a thin thread,
and autumn comes to my heart.
Color palette,
fog in the meadows at
dawn in the morning
and nostalgia and some regrets
that time passes
that I will not stay

There are so many who have come and gone through the years
Some were nice to be around, most were not
I'm super shy, so that sure doesn't help to foster a good time for me
I really wish I had gotten a job long ago where it was just me, myself, and I
But still I have the memories of these people, and that is something
The guy from Hardee's went golfing with me in 1988
The girl from Hardee's went out with me on a date
The girl from d*ck's got me, thank god she wasn't late
The teacher from Cassville made me a meal
The guy from Peru at the cheese plant in Belmont talked about potatoes with zeal
The young man from Fiji at the freezer plant in East Dubuque like my music a lot
The guy from South America at the muffler shop in Mineral Point was nice
The women at Chestnut in Galena were so pretty they would melt January ice
I could talk about the rest who weren't so well
But for now all I can say is...
They can just go to HELL!

My coworkers really suck, or maybe it's just me that just doesn't like all this human interaction crap!

I have always done my Christmas shopping early
Some may say I'm kinda squirrely
They love to shop on Thanksgiving and Black Friday
I say no way!
Get all that materialism out of the way early
So you can avoid a bunch of bargain hunter who behave too surely
I went yesterday on November first
To avoid all those people who behave the worst
Thanksgiving should be a day off for all
Not another reason to go to the mall
Some people never get a day off
Working seasonal jobs even if they have to cough
To give presents to some relatives they see only once a year
Getting together with people, if they weren't related, they'd steer clear
So now that I'm done with all the present buying
I can focus on things that won't leave me crying
Like Christmas movies and shows like Alf's Turkey In The Straw
About Alf befriending a homeless man who steers clear of the law
Or good food like turkey and pumpkin pie
And Peppermint Patty chewing out Charlie Brown
While he stand there with a sigh
It's more fun when we're not trying to save a buck
And if we do it right, we'll be in luck
For a Thanksgiving and Christmas that will be filled with joy
I hope yours is also one where you can say "Oh Boy!"
May all your holidays be shiny and bright
So we can all have a silent night

I dream of you
Do dreams come true
I hope so
Cos I dream of you
Behind closed eyes
Asleep at night
I kiss you
Behind my closed eyes
When morning comes and starts a brand-new day
It fills me more than words really say
The love that grows
That won’t go slow
Try not show
But the dreams the night-time brings won’t go away
You’re in my arms
You feel so warm
Love-ing you
You’re here in my arms
Holding me tight
Asleep at night
I need you
Holding me so tight
But when morning comes and starts a another day
You still fill my thoughts in every single way
I try not show
But It won’t go slow
This love that grows
And the dreams the night-time brings are here to stay
Behind closed eyes
All through the night
I love you
Behind my closed eyes
I dream of you
Can dreams come true
I hope so
Cos I dream of you

November tears fall asleep
to their music,
the noise of fallen leaves,
fast twilight that steals
a ray of sunshine
dry grass
on the hills of Poloniny.
November tears flow
in lonely times
as if they wanted
to clean the world
wash away
autumn dreams from the streets,
dance the last time with the wind
and go away into oblivion.

Should fate decree I win your love...
Then sure as there are stars above...
A lifetime's seeking now is done...
My search has led me to the ONE...
With beauty far beyond compare...
A wondrous love with me to share...
Two souls as one, two hearts entwined...
TOGETHER 'TIL THE END OF TIME.

There is someone out there for each of us. It has taken me half a century but I have at last found the ONE to make my life complete.
Never lose faith for your perseverance will one day be rewarded.
