LOVE ME

Love me unconditionally.

For you I will be

Water, air

The sun, the moon,

And the stars in the sky.

See me

The same way always.

Do not heed the years,

The first grey hair

And the wrinkles under the eyes.

You know

That when the body ages

The soul stays young.

The interior radiates beauty.

Love me for being me

THE MEETING PLACE

Our favorite bar exists in time and space.

Nothing changes there.

The floor like a mirror reflects lights

In shades of sky- blue and navy.

Bartender,

Trustee of love’s mysteries,

With the face of a Sphinx,

Concocts love potions

Or collects tears in chalices.

I heard only your voice.

I held you by the hand.

The fingers trembled eagerly.

I saw only your eyes.

We were alone in the crowd.

We found the silence among sounds.

We can return to here, where all began.

Let’s write another episode of life.

Our barstools like giraffes will reach the sky.

The bartender will smile

And give us another magic elixir

THE NEXT CHANCE

Carmine roses bloom in the midst of winter,

Drowsy violets peak from under leaves

And daisies stand white in the grass.

The sun heats the earth

And brightens short days with a warm glow.

I notice  a tenderly embraced couple in a park.

Gracious fate gives them one more chance

For an unexpected meeting.

Eyes, surrounded by rays of wrinkles, laugh.

Wind ruffles hair, tosses delicate

Silver threads of gossamer.

And so, unannounced, tardy love arrived

They have a choice of a new path,

Maybe the last chance for happiness.

Life took away their naïve faith

And burned away old feelings.

It left them some dreams

And much hope for a better tomorrow

They are lost in thoughts

Doubts and fears spring up

From the shadows like ghouls

The head says: no… it’s not worth it… think it over…

The heart says-yes… go forwards… fall in love

Nature stopped the hands of the clocks.

Red flowers bloom
