At first glimpse

See all 16 photos

Two yellow flowers in one

Thick and sticky spring clings to water as well

water is back in this dry country

Spring is back

Night is back again

Love means trying to bring the best in each other not to try to change each other

I have a right to be me and to be loved for myself

The problem with the past is that it is just that - the past

It does not relate to the reality of the present

Move on

Friendship means to take on the friend's hat and wear it with a pride

And return it willingly when time comes to enter the unkown water leaving all the worldly possesion behind

Love means to let go and not to be afraid exploring alone. Enter your dark tunnel leaving all your passion for others to share

You manage to get across many obstacles with vehemence and your inner strength will surprise you

Finally you reach your lonely tower, the ultimate goal of your destination, where no one and nothing can follow you

Spring ended, summer passed and autumn waits for a winter to come. You don't wait, you have already left. People who don't let you go, make a symbol in your memory, your only mark...

FOLLOW ME...

Forget

Winter's grey skies,

biting winds and heavy rains.

Spring descends.

It brings its warmth and colour

hiding the red and rusting rocks

as sea of yellow flowers

envelopes the landscape

and us

Thick and sticky

the pollen clings to you

just like me

it is all too hard to resist...

Laying down

amongst it all,

a gentle warmth

of your breath...

a cloudless sky

only the sound of birds

and YOU on my skin

The perfect spring day

until the night time comes

again...

The night

takes us back

to the heart of human darkness

Hypnotic, gripping and disturbing

world of TV news

while we eat take aways

getting ready for work

recreate in our dreams

The memories of our perfect spring day

are gone...

LET RECLAIM OUR PERFECT SPRING DAY ...

Let start the journey back again...

Let wake up the inner child

within me...

be out in the wind

feeling the crushing waves

on my face

Swimming in the ocean

sitting in the sun

I am who I am

a girl or a woman

or a dying star...

I live in the past

but look at my son

and I know it is time

to leave beauty

and a sorrow

to leave everything behind...

Let move on

Let prepare for a journey

into the unknown

when my time draws to a close

what will be

what I regret leaving most?

LET MOVE ON

Let move on

Let prepare for a journey

into the unknown

when my time draws

to a close

what will be

what I regret leaving most?

Love, relationship with my man

spiritual connections

with my friends?

Does everything end up

out in the wind

under the stars

on the face on the moon?

Everything ends up

my life

my ups and downs

all my frustration

my exhilaration

all my emotions

I need so much

to report about

I am after all

a reporter of the human condition,

in all its variations

adding words to the art

in the space of the sentence

I describe my loves

I describe my life.

What an absolutely lovely set of optimistic, spiritual and uplifting poems! You write beautifully. The pictures go well with your words.

Thanks for sharing.

Very deep and emotional. You are truly a great writer. Are you published yet?

Thank you so much my soul mate for your praise. I have published some poems in newspapers and won some encouragement notes, but I feel not confident to write in English as it is my second /third/ language. But I am very sick recently and battling on and I need to write to keep my 'depression' away. It is three a'clock morning and I have finished another poem.

If you have time I would be happy if you can read it. Thank you again.

Wow! this is really something. The story in words so well crafted giving most wonderful images in my mind and then the pictures on the side telling stories too for my mind and eyes.

Very talented. Thank you so much. Love the hat.

I loved the poems and the photographs you write incredibly well for someone for whom English is not their first language, I admire you very much for how accomplished you are

thank you so much for your encouragement Ralwus, I try my best to keep writing ...I have so many images in my mind that I had no time to put them all on the paper and I am happy that is someone there like you, who can feel them, see them and experience them with me. Welcome in my world, my new soulmate.

I am so happy that you noticed the HAT. It is very special hat I borrowed from a close friend, who I see once per ten years but we are connected for life. It is one of the mysteries of life that you meet someone and than he/she disapears from your life, but then your paths cross again by a coincidence and you know that he/she is there for you no matter what. I have to return the hat after another ten years, that is a PROMISE.

Thank you so much for your encouraging comment Annie. I am trying hard to work on my English when I am writing, but my images just pop in my head that I rush to put them on the paper without thinking, sometimes I mix all the languages I studied and then i have to go back ...I admit I don't like to go back and edit my poems or my stories which is my weakness.

Hi Beata

You seem to feel like you are struggling with English, but when I read you I get pure images and thoughts. Your ideas are coming through loud and clear!

Thank you Jen for your kind comment. My first language is Slovak language, I am a teacher of Russian language / I have studied it in Russia at Uni long time ago/ so sometimes I feel that I mix all three languages together and I am not good in any of them any more. Furthermore I am seriously ill and under many medications recently so my brain does not work the best all the time. I have scribbled a lot for all three my blogs but decided not to publish it. But you gave a strength to continue, thank you.

just absolutely stunning sceneries, and the poems are so beautiful. These should be framed and placed at strategic points, at entry point to every school and colleges, every work places and in the corridors of power. They are so uplifting, just what the doctor orderd for our sick minds and the world we face each morning

Thank you so much Kenny for your kind words, I don't know if my poem is really so good, but if it helps at least one person

to get through another day...I will be satisfied. I have scribbled it down after my another visit to doctor who told me another bad news...I felt that I have to quickly write something down, something more profound, in the case it would not be any more time to write something else.

Thank you again, Kenny for your kind words.

A very lovely Poem. It's like you took me on a Journey and the poem gave one food for thought. I enjoyed it and look forward to reading more. Thanks.
