tired of exhaustion
seeking divine
rest for an hour
lost in a busy year behind;

of a lighted cigar
by the green doors
a chaise rocks the cottage floor,
moves to and fro -
the painted memory
rendering the aerial shore.

his peace envies me beyond words today
where for another sky he never lived
ever so serene
ever so calm
ever the satiety
in air surround.

the sun that came this way
all of today
what day
what time
what lies
what rhymes …..

and then his victory
cheers - - -
to all his and mine.

I agree with Tara too. Your poetry has changed greatly since you came back - and all for the better I might add. Is it so bad my friend if people know a bit about your dreams, thoughts and hopes? When one writes from the heart it is hard not to speak what lies there in secret sometimes.

Janice: thank u for those lovely words ...

Writing on a daily basis sometimes has it effect on the words that come out I guess .. I have always tried not to make this blog my diary ... but often words become flesh and it is difficult to separate them ...

there is nothing wrong in being open .. I honestly don't hide .. anything ... infact I talk a lot but then whether that helps in opening up ... I am not sure ..

the only thing I am afraid is of expectation .. (experience is the mistakes that u have made in life ...) you know Janice I dont mind giving but I am afraid of getting (taking)

I think I am an emotional fool :)

Thanks for everything :)
