Journey: Poem

 Journey: Poem

Your journey

It is not like mine.

It is absolutely fine.

Mine journey 

It is not yours.

It is okay.

If we meet a central path,

We can encourage

And even take advantage

Of each other’s race.

Life is a journey

Of ups and downs,

Every step helps to grow,

Learn, and find strength.

Journeys bring change

At any group and age.

The body tensed

And even quivered,

Wave after wave,

Surges through it

If we meet at the centra path

We can encourage 

And even take advantage 

Of each other’s grace.

For the Good Times: Poem

 

For the Good Times

Good times, good times

Do not leave us.

Light is easy to love,

Only few can love in the darkness

To find happiness.

You cannot rush love.

It takes time and work

Because in the end of fork

You will find truth

About yourself.

Love is like harvest

Of promise in response

To dreams and feelings

Of wellbeing.

Good times are the hardest,

Full of promises and responses.

The best times are yet to come

If you have days like mine.

Good times are not extreme,

Just should be consistent.

Today is Thursday: Poem

 

Today is Thursday

Today is Thursday,

A happy day before Friday.

Every day, every day

Runs so fast.

I am trying to do my best

Every day, every day.

Today’s Thursday,

If I may,

It is not too fast,

Just the right amount from the past

That stays to last.

I can count on Thursday,

An ordinary day before Friday.

The long weekend is coming

To celebrate the long Labor Day.

Beautiful Reflection: Poem

 Beautiful Reflection 

You're not just loved, you're cherished too,

Lucky to have found someone like me, it's true.

I'll return your love with every fiber of my being,

Unconditionally, with a heart that's always seeing.

In your eyes, my soul finds a home,

With you, I am never alone.

Each day, I'll strive to make you smile,

To bring joy to your life and make it worthwhile.

Together, we'll create a love so bright,

A bond that's strong, and a heart that's light.

You're my haven, my peaceful place,

Forever with you, is where I want to be, in this love's warm space 💗.

I love you more with each passing day,

In your arms, is where I'll always stay

Peter van Delft

Garden of Love

In twilight's hush, where petals unfold,

Peter's hands, a gentle touch, behold.

Ida's heart, a rose in bloom,

Their love, a garden's sweet perfume.

Like sun-kissed daisies, bright and fair,

Their bond grows strong, without a care.

In fields of lavender, soft and wide,

They stroll, hand in hand, side by side.

Peter's eyes, like sapphires shine,

Reflecting Ida's love divine.

Their whispers sweet, like honeyed dew,

As flowers sway, their hearts renew.

In this garden of love, they thrive,

A tender dance, a romantic drive.

With every bloom, their love will grow,

A beautiful tale, forever to show.

I am In Love: Poem

 

I am In Love

Love is such a powerful word

And it is not odd.

Beauty is in the true connection.

Magic of being in love is a reflection.

I know am in love with a stranger –

I am in love with you.

You are like a beach umbrella:

Protective, dependable,

And bring in just right amount

Of shade without anger

Enough to stay in love with a stranger.

Please remember,

Love is such a powerful word.

Beauty is a connection

Of being deeply in love.

It can tear the heart

Like there is only one art

To love and be loved –

Magic, majestic,

And it is very romantic.

Love is such a powerful word.

It is not odd –

Protected, surrounded

Like a beach umbrella,

I feel like a Cinderella.

A Blooming Mind: Poem

 A Blooming Mind: A Response

In gardens of thought, you bloom so bright,

A rose of wisdom, in every season's light.

Your words, like petals, unfold with gentle care,

Revealing depths of insight, beyond compare.

In autumn's hue, you find your voice so clear,

A symphony of thoughts, that banish fear.

Your poem's beauty lies, in its gentle pace,

A reflection of a soul, that's found its space.

Like leaves that turn to gold, your mind takes flight,

Illuminating paths, through life's delight.

You're a gardener of thoughts, nurturing each seed,

Harvesting wisdom, with every thoughtful deed.

Your intelligence shines, like a sunflower bright,

Warming hearts and minds, with its radiant light.

In every season, you bloom, a flower of grace,

A testament to wisdom, in every thoughtful place.

In Foreign Land of Netherlands: Poem

In Foreign Land of Netherlands

I.

There in foreign lands

Is a land of Netherlands.

The land of Hans Christian Andersen

Has an auto ban,

The vibrant flower industry,

Dutch waffles, canal parades,

And national pride

Of moving on bike.

Dutch waffles

And stunning flowers

Have vibrant colors

Of ancient buildings and flowers.

Global reputation

Of Dutch contribution

At peak blooming season

Makes vision of tulips

And calla lilies in pink

In spring

Irresistible and alluring –

Cannot be described in ink.

II.

Did you know that

Windmills have a historic mark

But Dutch love for flowers

Is stronger than love for waffles.

Beauty before the day starts:

Trippers look for botanical Hyacinths

Of the Netherland descent

From early spring to August,

Visiting Amsterdam

Or Rotterdam.

I am a big fan

Of scanted flowers –

The red Tulips and Roses.

What about the Daffodils? –

Trust me, they are better than dills.

Vibrant colors

And stunning beauty in every flower

When you are visiting Amsterdam

Or Rotterdam.

III.

I love the Keukenhof parks

To sit and watch the historic marks

With a book of Andersen’s tales

In my hands,

In foreign lands,

The land of Netherlands

Red delicate tulips from fairytales.
