I thought there couldn’t be anything worse than a global pandemic,Yet we find ourselves on the edge of destruction again. We live in a hopeless world, But I still choose to nurture hope. We need hope. We must hold on to hope. Hope is all we’ve got. I trust humanity will overcome the despair. I trust we will see better days. I trust we will see hope. ~~~~~~~~~~ From my poetry collection Despair and Hope (2024), page 81.

We fantasize about time travel, But the truth is We’re too small in the face of the Universe to change its laws. Our only chance is to move forward, Because the Universe moves forward. Time is this social construct that we invented for ourselves to make sense of it better, But in reality It will be here with or without us, For as long as the Universe exists. ~~~~~~~~~~ From my new book of poetry Despair and Hope (2004), page 93.
Citește mai departeThey say summer starts today.Today is the longest day. I sit on my porch and soak in the sun, Up until the very last moment of it, Till the last bit of sunshine. The last sunrays of the day gently kiss my skin. It’s always a glorious day, The longest day. There is only one sour note about the longest day of the year – All the other days are inevitably shorter. But the sweet note is that there are still many sunny days ahead, And I will embrace them all. The days after the solstice may go shorter, But the summer goes ripe once its longest day is over. ~~~~~~~~~

Citește mai departeShe’s a lovely but moody lady.She doesn’t come to me when I call her, Or when it’s a good time for me to write. She only comes to me when she pleases. My book depends on her, literally. There wouldn’t be a book if it weren’t for her. So, I learned to listen to her when she wants to speak up. I learned to make her creating mood work for me. I treat her with coffee and cookies when she makes an appearance. We sit together at the table when she visits, And we start writing. I absorb every word she says, And I let her lead the way. ~~~~~~~~~~ From my book of poetry Sunset in Toronto, page 122.

If you are unworthy, it will not fit. Work in progress. The council comes to see how it goes. But every time a courtier checks on the tailors, They squirm uncomfortably in the shop. What is going on here? Am I seeing things? Do my eyes deceiv
Citește mai departeI sit at my desk,An open notebook in front of me. My fingers tremble with anticipation. The blank page stares back at me, A canvas yearning for the brushstrokes of my words. I close my eyes, Seeking solace in the depths of my thoughts, Where emotions intertwine and memories whisper. And then, like an ethereal muse, inspiration begins to bloom. Words dance in my mind, waiting to be brought together on the white page. I grasp my pen, And I let the ink flow freely, Like a river finding its course. Sentences form, weaving a tapestry of emotions and experiences. Each word, carefully selected, holds the weight of my feelings, my longing, my pain. It is in this sacred space that I find solace, Where my heart spills onto the page and transforms into poetry.
