No road would not far for me if it leads me to you.
Distance would be nothing, If our hearts honest to one another..!!

If every word I said made you smile..!!
I would say forever!!
If every song I sang make you happy..!!
I would sing forever..!!

If counting stars above the sky to be with you..
I would count without tire to be with you !!

If dreaming is only way to be with you forver !!
I would never wakeup and open my eyes...
(Just to be with You)

who'd dare knock
for behind's the unknown


a quest to muster the strength to see
oh it's not what you think
only what you feel
for the feelings good
the think is scarey
too close to the past
to be brought to the now

there's a window in the door
hmmm slight glimpse you'll see
blinds open one glide
eye to the glass
on the wall ahead . . . . . . . .
a mirrored eye from your side of the pane ~

I love storms,
I also love ‘doin’ them,
They’re huge, expansive,
Seemingly infinite,
Kind of like us…

I am blessed to live within spitting distance from the Mediterranean sea,
This afternoon a rare storm moved through our town,
Wind, thunder, rain, etc.
I hurriedly put on my parka and rushed outside to ‘do’ the storm,
I allowed my gaze to roam the immense spread of water and welcomed the hypnotic spell it cast on me,
It was exhilarating…

But, that’s not my point today,
As we bob up and down like a cork on life’s ocean,
We often feel small and victimized by the cosmos,
We sink into the ‘dream’ and buy the illusion that we’re just a helpless pawn in a universal chess game,
Where we’re lucky if we get three square meals a day…,
But, my Hellene heritage rebels against such an existence, a euphemism for slavery, frankly…

I ‘wanna’ be like a storm,
Vast,
Unrestrained,
Untamed,
With endless potential,
Pursuing my thing with a passionate abandon…
Above all, I wanna do it according to the dictates of my Deoxyribonucleic acid, not someone else’s,
I wanna be like Richard Bach’s Jonathan Livingston Seagull,
Boundless and unfettered…

Storms, therefore, teach us, if we allow them, how to soar, how to ascend, how to spread our wings and mount the stars…,
Happy mounting..., the stars, I mean, heh, heh…

the residue of what once was lit,
they even used to make car chassis out of it,
light as a feather, or heavy and dense,
out of one, you could even make a fence......

When I was in a dark place
lost in depths of sorrow
a bright light glinted at me
gleaming tugging me forward

as slowly my feet dragged me
towards it, it grew and grew
until I reached it at last
and was bathed, washed clean

that light led and guided me
from bitter black despair
surrounding my soul with love
the love of true friends

the light was all of you
reaching out to me
lightening my way
with words of hope

telling me with kindness
never fear we are here
to comfort you and let
me know I am not alone

So your heart is broken but your feet are fine
I'll follow your lead or you follow mine
We don't have to be perfect for each other
We just have to dance with one another

No matter what your pain, your aches or tears
Music will soothe the hurt and fears
Listen, let go, forget and dance like mad
Music makes the feet and soul glad

Dance with me and ease the stresses today
You choose the music and let it play
To the rythm let your body move
With music you have nothing to prove

Dance with me, though you are a thousand miles away
Rock to the beat, make your body sway
Hear the music talk to your bones
Listen to all the different tones

Dance with me and it will all vanish in thin air
Every doubt, hurt, stress and biggest fear
Dance with me! Come dance! You hear Dance!
Hey why won't you just take a chance!

It was now time for the frivolous gulls to play with my thoughts,
They put on a phantasmagoric display of irreverence as they laughed at my insecurities,
Scorned my lack of faith,
And generally heaped great insults at my penchant for taking life way too seriously,
Well, what else could one expect from gulls...???

Next it was a hapless sand dollar’s turn to be presented with my thoughts,
The poor thing gasped and nearly fainted from the weight,
‘Help,’ it croaked as it pleaded for the Surf to claim it back and send it on a long furlough...

Next a group of Dolphins came to sport with me,
‘Hello, what have we here? A human’s thoughts, hhhmmm’, was the only sound that emanated from them as they studied my writings in the sand,
‘We shall convene a council and let you know our recommendations dear Surf, bye for now...’ as they dove beneath the waves gracefully...

Suddenly, I heard a great roar and a frightful gale overcame the placid sea,
As Poseidon himself rose in all his splendour from the immense depths,
‘Who dares disturb me’, he thundered as the sun was blackened and ten tempests arose simultaneously, to dance and cavort and to pay homage to their grand master,
Thunder and lightning joined in the awe-full array,
Almost wetting myself from fear, I meekly pointed to my thoughts in the sand,
‘Harrumph’, came from his throat as he studied the writing,
‘You’ll have my input anon’, he growled as he sank into his beloved waters’ nether parts...

Well, I waited breathlessly,
As the great and kind and gentle Seer prepared herself to give me some feedback...

‘Do not mind what happens to you...’, she intoned as she politely bade me farewell...

A thousand steps
along a crooked fence
broken boards
shattered dreams
rusty nail
carving in my jeans
a small creek
flowing underneath
horses stop
to take a drink
a thousand steps
along a crooked fence
mended boards
in the field
of dreams
a small scratch
in my worn out
blue jeans.

I am so astounded how my 2 little lines
have got such a reaction not just from
one or two or even a handful of poets
here on the corner but from everybody

I am so deeply touched by the

poetry that was created
poets who created them

this little challenge has brought us to a different level, far more
important then friends and family but has brought us on a level
of solidarity, unity.
2 little lines and so many, oh so many brilliant inspired poetry that was created from this challange.

each and every one of you

THANK YOU!!!!

Just because it's over
Doesn't mean i don't care
There is such a thing called friendship
That we can both still share

Just because it wasn't right
When we were a pair
Doesn't mean its black an white
As individuals we did spare

Just because life is such
An the the reasons were not there
Our journey was a long one
Many hardships we did stare

Just because you were you
Individual an strong
I was me ...everfree
I could do no wrong

Just because for that very reason
An for many many more
The clash of personalities
Had us both heading for the door

Just because we had kids
We stuck by an by
Living in a fruitful hope
As a garnish to our sigh

Just because you glossened
A very tarnished coat
An never opened your thoughts to me
Only to sit an gloat

Just because you wanted to leave
A very long time ago
I admire your commitment
To finally let go

Just because your happy
In your new life
Doesn't mean i didn't care
An love you as my wife........
