Enough Is Enough!
Many have been the times
When you have run out of this house,
Like a frighten thief after midnight...
I kept waiting for you patiently,
For long hours (God is my witness) ,
In vain I tried to save our love,
But you took it for granted and you lost...
Many were the times
When clearly you rejected me,
Without realizing:
How much pain I can endure
Until I would wake up?
Disregarding the fact
That nothing lasts forever!
And one love will be gone
While another one will be born...
Time will come
To listen to a new song...

Trees And Leaves
The tallest trees have branches
Too narrow to be climbed
The smallest ones are too weak
And the farthest can't be entwined...
There are those that are splintered
Some have dried and broken off
Still others reach forever,
Some are fire and some are dust...
Let's not talk of where mine are
If they ever bloomed, or died
A poet's end-in desperation
For a way to stay warm inside...
Eyes close and seasons end
The colors brought to autumn,
A short-lived span of drawing
Fingers to attention...

Poem Never Read, Until Now
No long ago
There were two young lovers
Like Romeo and Juliet;
They passionately
Kissed and hugged each other
Under the blanket
Of a summer night....
They swept deeply
With joy and ecstasy...
Followed by:
Phone calls,
Voice mails,
E-mails
Ans Instant Messages...
Then the distance
Separated the two lovers...
She found a new lover
From distant and strange land
New kisses with new flavors...
New dreams and new lust...

Miss Missing You
The Moon is the same Moon
And so are the Stars and Sun
But throughout time,
The wind of changes
Has taken different directions
After touching our lives
And leaving behind
Nothing but just memories...
Our once great and passionate love
Became like a dead rose
Colorless and without scent,
Deception has been exposed
And boundaries clearly delineated
For there is not reasons at all
To keep this rocking union alive
When trust has been bridged…
Now, thanking you for helping me grow
By coming through my life,

A Heart's Talking
Good bye then,
I could not never pretend
To need to depend on anyone...
Goodbye, goodbye,
Let me climb my own tree,
I found it too
And you did not lead me to it
Nor can you climb it for me
Or make its highest branches
Any nearer...
The leaves are falling again
And I pick them up,
Just the same as anyone
Who can bend a little
To look for them...
I know- I save to much,
Upfront in my memory,

A Poem of Hope
I can't possibly erase you from my past
But it has become a clear fact,
That you are absolutely absent
In my now optimistic present...
The door of my broken heart
Will be permanently closed for you, soon...
Only you can be blamed
For us being so apart.
I gave you my love without shame
But you cause the mortal wound
And cowardly run away,
Leaving me behind living in darker days...
Knowing that nothing lasts forever,
My heart's wound will be completely healed
And I will rise again, wise and clever
With a new heart, as strong as steel...
After learning this painful lesson,

Before The Arrival of The Fall
Between the muted walls
Of the small space I call my own,
I displace all my belongings,
Before the arrival of the Fall,
And change the picture of my home
To resemble the colored world...
Like an artist's palette:
Green, yellow, red and sky's blue,
All magical colors,
Each playing an important role
In my everyday mood...
Even the shiny reflection of copper
Touches my inner self,
When in my fortress alone,
I am totally secluded
Before the arrival of the Fall...
The human's heart
Was designed beyond heaven's gate,

Lady Grace
To be a true poet or artist
Will never be a disgrace,
Lady Grace...
When they find out who you are
They would take your pride
And tear you in two...
So you want to be an artist
Are you clever
In some significant way?
Are you prepared to resist the pressure
Of choosing to create?
No suggestions- please!
I have plenty to prove!
Insisting on what I will not be made to do-
What is too new
Is not trusted-why?
They try to convince you
That you are average

New York Is Shaking
Here I am in my fortress
Nervously glued to my TV
Listening to constant news
About that mean girl Sandy!
Unable to help anyone,
I feel powerless and sad
While I can hear loud and clear
The ferocious wind
Trying to break my windows!
Scared I am, I confess,
Worried about loved ones
And everybody else!
Gusty winds persist
Accompanied by heavy rains
Seem to swallow our city!
Total darkness can occur anytime
Due to power failures everywhere

A Destiny's Highway
Since from your life,
I stubbornly departed,
Your craggy face,
Was perennially creased
With a simulated half smile…
It is the trace of time,
And you should know,
That my feelings for you
Turned like dried leaves
Carried away by the turbulent wind…
My once tender caresses
Spreading like a wildfire,
All over your shaking body
Are now, sadly, forever gone,
It is time for me to sing a new song…
My rejuvenated heart,
Still as soft as cotton,
And my mind as strong as steel,
Have set new boundaries
For me, patiently to follow…
