Flowers as a Gift: Poem

  Flowers as a Gift

Give women flowers,
Not just on dates, and not on a random day,
But on a quiet evening, without need,
When the soul sounds especially.
Give them just because,
Because they are alive, nearby,
That warms the silence,
And heals the heart with a gentle glance.
Give them the breath of roses,
And the light of fields in simple bouquets,
So that in every petal, seriously,
Love whispers without an answer.
Let the fragile stem on the palm,
Become a recognition without words,
Where instead of a thousand stories,
One: "You are more than love."
Give women flowers,
As a gift to the sky a ray of dawn,
So that in their eye's dreams bloom,
And the world seems endless.
And maybe, in this very moment,
When their hand touches a bouquet,
You will become forever for them,
Those who brought spring... and summer.
Give women flowers —
And listen to how the heart breathes,
How in the silence of her dreams,
They become a little closer, higher.
Give — in the rain and in the first snow,
In the midst of worries and in the weary hour,
So that they know: there is someone in the world
Who sees in her the whole world is not small.
Give the scents of spring,
Weaving tenderness into every gesture,
So that even on ordinary days,
In her soul, an orchestra sounds.
Give as if for the first time,
Embarrassed, sincerely, without measure,
As if the whole vast world now,
In her hands — and only you.
And if suddenly the light fades,
And night touches with quiet sadness,
Let your simple living bouquet,
Return her joy, as art.
Give women flowers,
In them there is more meaning than words,
In them — a promise of kindness,
And tenderness spoken by you.
And perhaps, through the years, suddenly,
She, warming with a smile,
Will understand you were the one who could,
Love... without demanding an answer.
Give women flowers,
And do not count the petals,
For in each one — the tremble of silence,
And the revelation of the soul.
Give so that the light trembles,
In her eyes, like stars in the sky,
So that every moment lived,
Becomes warm, sincere, simple.
Give, as if for the first time,
You utter a confession,
When both the voice and the story tremble,
And the heart asks only for attention.
Give tenderness without reason,
Without "why" and "if necessary",
For love does not need a title,
It is important to be with the beloved nearby.
Give lilies and poppies,
Tulips, roses — everything in between,
Let each of these quiet signs,
Live your sincere charge.
And may one day, through the years,
When whiskey touches the gray hair,
She will whisper to you, as then:
"I still need you..."
Give women flowers —
As life gives, without regret,
And in this gesture of simplicity,
Lives a great moment.
And if the soul suddenly asks:
"What is the holy power of love?"
The answer will come barely breathing:
"In that, it... always gave"

James Jackson Story

 

Well, I’m James Jackson by name. I’m from Pensacola Florida but I was born and raised in Denmark. I’m a lumberjack. I own my own logging company in Mexico; I’ll send a link to check me out. I use Facebook to keep in touch with family and connect with longtime friends so I am not always on here to chat. 💬…I’m single currently. (A widower) …Lost my spouse and son in a plane crash many years ago. Ten years ago, was the worst day of my life, my family and I were on our way to Colorado in a small plane. As we were circling the airport waiting to land, we were hit by a massive wind shear, and our plane crashed 90 feet short of the runway. I remember it all so vividly- my daughter and I were the only ones awake while my mom, Dad, my wife and son were sleeping. I remember feeling so peaceful looking out of the plane window at the Rocky Mountains and the beautiful snow-capped trees in the back of the plane by myself. Suddenly, it felt like the plane was hit by something with immense force and we began to fall out of control. I vividly recall feeling like this was how our lives would end and feeling a type of fear that I haven’t felt since that day. Time was frozen, as I heard my son screaming -the one person in my life who never showed fear. Have you ever had a dream and felt paralyzed while watching something terrible unfold? That’s what I felt. I looked back out into the beautiful white snow out of the window and began to pray for a prayer of desperation amidst the chaos and impending sense that this was the end. As I looked out the window, it went from white, to whiter, and upon impact, a complete blinding white-out… this was surely the end. I awoke to wails of pain and a chaotic scene. I could see the runway outside my window and firetrucks began to get on us. I opened the plane door and told us to sit on the wing of the plane, which was now on top of the snow. My daughter Sara with a broken leg, serious spine fracture, collapsing lungs, along with many other injuries somehow walked out of the plane and sat next to me on the wing. I was in total shock. I did CPR on my spouse. She was unresponsive. Soon, we were all up on stretchers and sent to the hospital by ambulance. My son had severe back and neck pain set in. I was in a hospital room with my daughter and found out that my mom and dad had barely survived and was airlifted to Denver. Then came the news I was dreading that my spouse and son had died as well. I was all afraid and devastated.  

My spouse, Gaby, was a bigger person than life. She was a strong, Mexican woman who loved Jesus and loved people with all her heart. She loved dancing, watching comedy movies, and, boy, did she love her tennis. I have so many amazing stories about my spouse, but if I could sum it up, she lived her life with passion. She had a zest and love for life that is hard to explain. And I miss it. I miss it so much. After my spouse and son died, our house seemed empty. It’s funny how the things you take for granted in life are the things you miss the most when they’re gone. My spouse used to do this thing where she would make sure Our son said goodnight to her every night. If I do miss a night, she would text him and tell him to get his butt over there. He would tell her He loved her, they’d hug and kiss goodnight. After my spouse and son were gone, I was so sad because I couldn’t see my son run over and hug her anymore. It was the small things in life I missed. It was the Sunday mornings at church, the post tennis match hug, the Spanish spoken at home, and the way she made the house feel alive.

At Any Age: Poem

 

At Any Age

Softness is the language

of the soul for any age.

Music is the feeling

Of the mind.

You feel love very kind.

Kindness is a quiet way

To feel the world.

And you pray

About dear moment of chase

Life, and making the choice

How to love and live,

And live and give

Energy and a lot of time.

I am ready for change.

Listen to the rhyme

Of powerful language

On the open stage.

Hop Tza-Tza: Poem

 

Hop Tza-Tza

I.

Hop tza-tza, oh yes!

Here on Earth

The most effective medicine

Is an unconditional love

That always arises in peace.

We breathe and hold air

And greet the rising sun with love

Not fair but gratitude and rejoice.

This is the best Earth’s choice.

II.

Butterflies are reminding

That remarkable transportation

Happened slowly and quietly.

Here on Earth

Love is a dance called “Hop Tza-Tza.”

L’chaim, frailah zol zain…

Cursed with over-analytical mind

And over-sensitive loving heart

Longing empathy and sympathy.

III.

Love is like chocolate.

Love is bitter in the beginning

But melts in hugs and kisses.

Love is like chocolate

Sweets up the beating heart

In sugar waves and treats.

Love is like dark chocolate –

Deep, thick, and sweets

With powerful kind words,

Also, warm loving looks.

Every kiss is like chocolate bar

That reminds how far

We depend on lover’s hooks.

Hop tza-tza here on Earth

L’chaim de gantze naht.

Chocolate Love: Poem

Sergey Kay

Chocolate Love 
Love, like chocolate — a little bitter at first,
But melts on the lips, like a secret between us.
It comes quietly, as if by chance,
And stays in the heart — sweet waves.
Love, like a dark variety, deep, thick,
With a hint of tender words and long warm glances,
Where every kiss — like a golden tile,
To share — is already a reward.
Love, like milk — soft, familiar,
Will warm in the cold, cover from sorrow,
And in every day of yours — like the sun, blooming,
It will suddenly remind you how much we missed.
Love, like white taste — naive, fragile,
Where sincerity lives without fear and pretense,
Where we are together — like children, without separation,
And happiness does not fear time or age.
And if sometimes it melts without a trace,
Like chocolate in hands — not to hold the moment,
But its taste in the soul remains so sweet,
That it will become a lifelong confession...
And if fate suddenly touches us with separation,
Like fragile chocolate — breaks into pieces,
I will gather the warmth of all our tender meetings,
So that even in silence love can warm.
Love, like chocolate with nuts — with a surprise,
Where in every turn — a new taste and meaning,
Where laughter intertwines with a whim,
But everything leads to the fact that you — my whole life.
Love, like hot chocolate — in a cup on a late evening,
When the whole world has quieted and we are only closer,
Where your whisper sounds so quiet and trusting,
And warms deeper than words, touching the depths.
Love is not just a sweetness for a moment,
It's not just a taste that melts away and disappears,
It's like an eternal, living inspiration,
That even through the years lives in your soul.
And if I were given the choice again and again —
To walk this path, where pain and tenderness are side by side,
I would choose you... without fear, unconditionally,
And love you again — with that very first glance...
And even if the night covers the world with anxiety,
And the wind of change slightly knocks you off course,
I will still find my way to you —
Like a hand reaching for sweet warmth.
Love, like chocolate, does not tolerate indifference,
It cannot be divided into "temporary" and "suddenly",
It lives in hearts — without falseness and without boredom,
Where every breath is a confession, every glance is like a sound.
Love is when silence is not empty,
When the silence of hearts sounds,
When words are not needed to express all feelings,
And every day with you is like a little crown.
Love is when "we" are more than "I" and simple,
When fate has woven us into one single path,
And even through the years, through storms and questions,
You remain the one I want to breathe.
And let our world not be perfect at times,
And let not everything be easy for us with you,
Love will save us... it's not just a miracle —
It's our common light, our eternal home alive, like sweet chocolate alive...

On the Road, Again: Poem

 

On the Road, Again

Frequency, rhythm and tone

Is the interior of music’s

And the exterior of lyrics.

Listen to the sounds of nature

That always calls for adventure.

The trees and birds are greeting.

The roads are calling.

The amber sun above the ocean

Gives rhythm and cushion

For heart frequency

And love sweet melody.

The right tone

Is both exciting and exquisite

As the story’s prerequisite.

One, two, three,

I am alone and I am free.

I am on the road. –

What for? –

Unstoppable,

And it is not odd.

Summer Downpour: Poem

 

Summer Downpour

Most beautiful moments of nature

Does not need words.

Nature takes care of wonders and odds.

There is a gentle rhythm

In the falling rain.

It is different from personal pain.

Summer downpour

Make human life slow down,

Obey, and stay calm.

Nature does not pause.

Nature magically makes

Everything magically blooms,  

Grow, and expand.

Sun bakes and broils. –.

Rain waters the burnt.

And everything magically grows.

Listen to nature, soft and sweet.

Listen to nature where wisdom lives

And wonders meet.

Fish and Bird: Poem


Fish and Bird

A big, old ugly-looking fish

Grabbed me with its eyes.

It was not fair

Because right here

Is a local place

For colorful, handsome herons.

They are hanging out in bunches

To accommodate lunches

Made of nutritional fish

And breakfast morning coffee.

I hope you agree

Both birds and fish are free.

There are no limits

To amount of nature’s goods.

I am not after credits.

We all need birds to fly,

Fish to swim for our own goods

To be happy, smile,

And keep our eyes dry,

Without tears to cry.

Tomshinsky@2026

Weathered Pages: Poem

 Weathered Pages

Sometimes from weathered pages

And warm conversations

Dreams take flight

With contents of hope

In the soft celestial light.

Each bug or bird, each star

Carries a wish

On an unseen note,

Because each message is load

With meaning of hope.

Sometimes the book becomes more

Then words can say,

Because every page has a chapter

That stays like an adapter.

Tomshinsky@2026

Sound of Wind: Poem

 Sound of Wind

How can sound of the wind

Play with waves of air

And my hair?

These sounds are wild and cool,

To describe in full.

Does it try to take me

And to blow away?

But I am not a fool

Like a flying kite or balloon.

This time, I was right.

Trees have waved

And lost the will

To the power of the wind.

I opened my mind

To stay tall,

With the depth of God’s will.

When wind left the air,

I adjusted my dress and hair.

My eyes kept the sparkle

And my lips smirkle.

End of July's Monday: Poem

 

End of July’s Monday

“I have a cheap on my shoulder.

I have a big bug in my beak.” –

Little birds always tweed.

It is an end of July’s Monday.

I entered a cool

Pollinator’s garden.

The trails inside guided

When I spotted a Jewelweed

And a bumblebee rested on it.

The wild orange Bergamot

Was not a lot

For a one good day

At the end of July’s Monday.

Moment of Zen: Poem

 

Moment of Zen

What is my moment of Zen?

Birds on the banks of the river

On a warm summer day to pen

To remember forever.

Some people take photos,

Other pass by in their auto motors.

Not so many people sit on the bench,

Watch what is in front

At the stanch perch

In the murky still waters.

I value the Zen of meditation

And personal feelings of intuition

Of my personal peace of mind’s

And Zen of various kinds:

Birds on the trees,

Flowers for the bees,

Green grass for the majestic deer,

And sweet berries for a forest bear

Is real and fair.

Magical and serene moments

Captured the Zen

In the laps of green nature

And green calm waters

Of perfect picture

Are showcasing the essence of Zen

That wildlife provides.

Something Angelic: Poem

 


Something Angelic

I.
Wings of pure white magic

Are on public display

When the gorgeous Egret

Flaunt it’s impeccable

White feathers in an unspeakable way.

Something angelic

When they fly

Across the water and the sky.

II.
Birds do not ask

For permission to fly. –

They have wings

And the sky belongs to winds.

III.
Wildlife moments are majestic,

Unspeakable, and artistic.

Also, something angelic

Is in the outdoor flying life.

The fish-stalking machine reflecting

On the outdoor summertime

In tranquil waters,

With their aerodynamic rotors.
