Description
I would like to share some of my poems from the collection called "About me and myself".
You're most welcome to comment and critique.
A place of my own
I want to go to a place
Where fresh starts come true.
A place where people will be
Judged by what they are,
And not by the way they look.
I want to go to a place
Where dreams are allowed.
A place where the poorest man
Can store riches in his mind,
Yet not starve to death.
I want to go to a place
Where justice serves all.
A place where children have rights,
The old are taken care of
And human bodies are not for sale.
I want to go to a place
Where love is more than a concept.
A place where relationship means trust,
Jealousy does not exist,
And minds are interacting.
I want to go to a place
Where truth comes always first.
A place warm and welcoming,
And inner beauty is valued.
A place to call my home.
Between Seasons
Summer is almost gone from the city,
Soft winds sweep clean the stifling dust.
You can smell sweet and spicy aromas,
Blowing high with yet another gust.
The heavy burdens of long restless nights,
Make way for fresh struggles of the mind.
Walking the long streets, searching for relief,
Your shabby shadow is right behind.
Some people lose their natural balance,
When cold winds replace the scorching heat.
Thinking bears are clever to hibernate,
You then stay in bed with a warm sheet.
During the long and chilly winter nights,
When rainstorms hit everything around.
You think of the one you loved more than life,
He died in autumn, without a sound.
That is why you can't stand change of seasons,
Roaming the streets, hot, but cold inside.
You pray that the next in-between period,
Would bring back your loved one that has died.
First there was me
First there was me, all of me,
Open minded and curious.
Trusting my fellow men,
I found out it was all spurious.
Life was too undemanding,
I needed a challenge, a goal.
Helping the less fortunate,
I gave it my heart and soul.
It took years to realise,
How bellicose the world was.
No matter how much one gave,
No one observed the laws.
Arcane is human behaviour,
I try to grasp the rules.
Each man on his own,
The world is ridden by fools.

The three poems are all both succinctly expressed and, above all, honest. Honesty is a quality sadly lacking in some of poetry here - much is almost a literary exercise. There's a very strong sense of disillusion and disappointment - and a hint of cynicism running as a theme in each piece - alomost as if you want to erect a barrier to shield you from unpleasantness. Understandable, of course, but [imho] the problem with shields is that they are indiscrimate, and repel the bouquets as well as the brickbats. I prefer to stay open - risky to be sure - because there may yet be joys to come even at my venerable age! Thank you for exercising my mind and my emotions. Great work. Mike

What honest staccato cries to make this life a better place, but alas, we live in a cruel place of cheated ideals and flimsy values. Well worded.
