Thoughts of You…

 

Thoughts of You

“Iris Blossoms”, Lew Eliacopoulos (Festibrate.com)

Thoughts of You…let this be for whomever you need it to be.

I shared this poem, “Thoughts of You…”, with my sister Marjorie, a while back.  After reading it, she asked me, “Who was that one about?”  My answer:

“Hmmmm, what a question!  Interesting, when I write, things just kind of come to me, I don’t always have anyone in mind, really.  My words come from dormant emotions that demand to be released.  It’s like, I close my eyes, deafen my ears, and let my feelings take over.  They dance upon the keyboard; they make their own music.  I can’t do it any other way.  It’s more pure when I don’t attach anyone to what I write.  That way each piece kind of has its own identity…it stands alone, apart from boundaries, not confined; free to just ‘be’.  Continue reading →

Silence

Silence

I waited for you all day long,

but you would not come…silence.

My heart cried out to you,

but you would not hear me…silence.

My arms reached out for you,

but you refused my embrace…silence.

My tears are shedding, I am broken,

but you do not care…silence. Continue reading →

Dance…Poetry in Motion

Dance - poetry in motion

“Move, dance, let your body write its own poem.”

Dance…Poetry In Motion
A body in motion,
A river flowing…
Connected, never far apart.
A figure swaying to her inner rhythm,
A trickling stream rushing toward the open sea,
Silence gives way to a single note,
The body awakens; the hint of a dance
The chord has been struck, there is no turning back,
Hear the music, breathe in the melody,
Linger there, let it guide you freely,
Can you feel it?
Take the first step, never regret it…
A promise never failed…live your dream,
Become it! Continue reading →

Sisters, so far, yet so close.

Although my sisters are far away, I feel so close to them. 

Sisters - Marjorie

“Marjorie” My big sister; full of life and vibrancy!

My two sisters and I live quite a distance apart.  Marjorie, my older sister, lives in Ohio, while my younger sister, Andrea, lives in Pennsylvania.  Given our busy schedules, to travel to either location from where I am in New York, can be a challenge.  Continue reading →

Almost time to play…

We’re halfway through the week.  It’s almost time to play.

I wrote this poem on a whim after reviewing some scans of my pet portrait portfolio.  This little girl, “April”, always puts a smile on my face; I hope she does the same for you.  Go on, have fun, play…she’s waiting!

Will You Come and Play with Me?

Romp, play, spin around,

Will you come and play with me?

Throw the ball and I’ll fetch it; I may even catch it!

Will you come and play with me?

I’ll chase my tail, I’ll make you laugh,

Will you come and play with me? Continue reading →

To be a Father (a tribute for Father’s Day)

To be a Father

“Peonies”, Felecia R. Weber, OntheWingofaDove.com

A privilege, an honor

a treasure to behold,

to be a Father.

An awesome responsibility,

a blessing from above,

never be it taken for granted,

to be a Father.

A source of security, guidance, wisdom, strength,
