Time

ekica — Fri, 08 Jun 2012 14:03:31 +0000

Are you my friend, as they say,
Or a thief of memories?
How content am I to have forgotten
The pain of the past, the sorrow
That once was…
Old wounds have healed
And I am standing bare,
Tabula Rasa now,
Ready for my life to begin.
Turbulent youth is past,
But my heart is still young,
My face awash with a smile.
My soul sings in anticipation
Of what is to come, so many joys,
So many new memories to make.
Gentle wisdom flows through me,
A peace I knew not before.
Life is laughter and love,
Life is friendship and sharing
Of hearts, of souls, of minds.
I painted a canvas and showed it
To you ~ memories past
That formed who I am now,
And the ones of today,
Yet to mold who I will become.
Yes, time is my friend, not a thief,
A sculptor of character,
An artist of wisdom,
A deliverer of peace.

Four Brothers

ekica — Sat, 07 May 2011 01:21:54 +0000

Born a babe onto this unknown world
To each little one a gift of four brothers
To call on in times of duress but
More than that in times of delight

How intelligence can be one’s guide
Friendship a balsam for the mind
Strength to overcome all ails
And ~ Poetry ~ to feed the soul

Who would have though that
Only those four would be enough
To accompany, meditate, enrich
And protect ~ all life long

Never alone, never left
Never disappointed, never ~
Even in times of great sorrow
The four brothers are faithfully here ~
Each today and each tomorrow

Call on them often, for they will appear
Whether to play or chase away all fear

Measuring Love

How do you measure Love?
Some will say it’s what you say
Some think it’s what you give
To some even it’s how you sing
But Love is none of those things
Love is time, the time you give
The time you take
The time you make
And if you think
You know your beloved
Think again ~
She is the dream you
Don’t want to forget
She is the dream you only can have
By giving her your time
To measure your Love ~

How do you measure Love?
You measure it in Tomorrows.
You measure it Today.

Together

Who would have thought
That just a while ago
My world was without you,
Content, but still, a bit of a chill
In the coldness of night
And a bit of a void
Without you by my side ~
And now ~ your smile
Warms up my days,
Your loving arms
Warm up my nights ~
Our feelings abound
But the mind is still sound
To know what we found ~
Days will pass and years fly by
And each moment shall bring
More gentle delights,
Unexpected gazes that spark up
More unexpected amazes ~
Impatient but serene
Knowing that you are mine
And that I am yours ~
When heavenly sparks subside
And we are left standing
One before the other, bare,
With a still heart,
With wide open eyes,
I know now, even more than
When our hearts are on fire,
That you are the one
Who will cherish me ~
That I am the one
Who will cherish you ~

When the storms come, darling,
I want none other than
In your arms to find comfort,
And when the days are bright
I want none other than
Hand in hand with you to see ~
Your eyes to see each morn we wake
Your face to feel below the palm
Your heart to feel beat next to mine ~
Time is our friend,
With no beginning and with no end,
There is only the eternal now, in which
We discover new joys, in which
We craft our happy world
~ together ~

Ode to a Duchess

ekica — Sat, 07 May 2011 01:13:09 +0000

Exquisite in your magnificence
You stroll through space
As one graced with Glory
Of all the angels ~
Heaven alone could compare
To that which elements you
~ Made of Love ~ Made to Love ~
When I gaze upon your face
I gaze upon the glow of
A billion suns and stars ~
And such voice that escapes
Your tender sweet lips
Is made to put Gods to sleep
Or sing lullabies to little ones ~
How lucky I am to behold
Heaven beneath my fingertips
To relish in your eternal glow
To breathe in your aura
And be carried away
By your essence to distant lands
Where all my dreams come to life ~

~ ~ ~

Cherish her ~
and become the man that she deserves

Butterfly

ekica — Sat, 07 May 2011 01:12:43 +0000

It seems that angels’ wings grew
on this little creature of light ~ flutter ~
To this life you came from insignificance
yet all admire your beauty ~ in awe ~
To join the flock you seek all your life
But the gentle wind takes you in all directions
Fragile, tender, untouched ~ so elegant ~
From flower to flower you travel
smelling all the drops of mist in the air ~
To behold you, so many wish,
but only with the eyes can they touch
for you fly away at the slightest breeze ~
Meant to be free ~ meant to be watched ~

Unreal

ekica — Sat, 07 May 2011 01:12:17 +0000

Of my own will
Of my own heart
Of my own desire
You were molded
And came to be ~
Imaginary, unreal
Yet the only one
For me ~ dreamlike ~

I have thought of
Ghosts before ~
Unconnected, uninhibited
Yet bringing all
The heart’s wishes
To life ~
Those untouchable ghosts
That never want to leave

This time I fear
To lose myself in you
Misplaced from the
World of ordinary ones ~
Whoever comes
In flesh and blood
Finds it impossible
To measure up

You rule me ~
You have single handedly
Taken from me all that I am
And turned me into
Someone I don’t know
Someone who can only
See the dream and
Who ignores plain reality

I now ask you to leave.
Go. Depart. Disappear.
I need to connect
With the living ~
With someone who can
Hold me in the coldest of nights
And touch me with his fingertips
And love me with a heart that bleeds.

Traveler

ekica — Sat, 07 May 2011 01:11:36 +0000

I have traveled thee
A thousand times over
Your skin as rolling hills
And fields of rice
My fingertips as petals
Caressing thee as wind

a glimmer of hope

ekica — Sat, 07 May 2011 01:11:11 +0000

What to me is a dream and an impossibility
To another is a way to be ~ so different we are.
~ An ideal come to life? Could it be?
Wondering and questioning every step of the way
Too frightened to make a move in the right direction ~
But what is right? I ask silently into the night.
The stars mutely stare back, twinkling a secret code
Too restless to decipher ~ breathe ~ be still now ~
Is this death to a dreamer? I ask the raindrops.
Wash away these muddled eyes so that
The heart can see the clear fields where angels dance
Wings fluttering in every direction ~ a glimmer
Of hope ~ so distant it seems ~ so elusive to me.

Nuptial

ekica — Sat, 07 May 2011 01:10:45 +0000

Sweetness comes from within
And the soul can sense the kindred;
That one little piece of Heaven
~ within another ~
That our hearts call home…
And each day brings more of our Love.
Come into my mind ~ see and feel
What I see, what I feel,
My beloved Wife, my beloved Husband…
Wed me in a thousand ways ~
Intertwined in a golden circle
With God as our sole witness
And each day we choose to marry
~ again and again and again ~
Until time itself ends…
~ your soul to mine ~ my soul to yours ~
To always find us content and whole
And never leave us incomplete.
