Calm Are The Seas – Revised for Hamada’s Two Year Anniversary.

Calm are the seas I travel now,
the sail is down,
how tranquil is the ocean.
I drift past the deserted islands
with their scattered palms and
fallen coconuts,
I lay on the deck, with bronzed
skin and a salty mouth.

Calm are my seas as
I remember you with love…

The soft magnolia smell of warm breezes
whispers through my hair,
all is blue, placid and serene,
You are here in my memory beloved.
Always as essential as the mainstay.

Calm are my seas now…

For Everyone With A Partner.

Let me be aware of the treasure you are.

Let me learn from you,

Love you,

Bless you before you depart.

Let me not pass you by in a quest of

some rare and perfect tomorrow.

Let me hold you while I may,

For it may not always be so.

One day I shall dig my nails into the earth

Or bury my face in the pillow.

Or raise my hands to the sky and want,

more than all the world your return.

I long again to hear that voice,

those cultured tones of dusky nights,

of â€œ21 clubâ€ words whispered low

in shining gleaming bar of old.

When smiles mixed as glasses clink,

murmured soft and almost heard,

those sweet and soothing dulcet tones

of love and you.

The air was filled with mixing scents

of girlâ€™s falsetto voices shrill, who masquerade

their dramatic wears, expensive perfumes

and fancy hair.

I leaned to hear that velvet sound, from sweet

breath of love, disturbing senses found.

That time and youâ€¦

The Handsome men with eyes that glittered

tanned in Armani, shirts of fine linen.

Their Rolex vying and hanging loose

as popping corks and bitter vermouth,

in smoky music fun filled air.

The thrillâ€¦the paceâ€¦

that time in Harry Meadowâ€™s place!

We danced as morning light appeared

**your words enticing and with much care**

I remember every word you said,

those sweet and soothing dulcet tones

Of love and youâ€¦ Longingsâ€¦

Longings: â€“ from the â€˜box of secretsâ€™ @ seven months.

Tears At Another Table.

In Love poems, Multiple myeloma, Poetry

It was an eternal wait that day

a long perpetual tedious episode

an abuse on the senses,

the faces filling the clinic suite

sitting too close together at tables that encumbered,

all appearing the same, all resigned to their fate;

all stricken with disbelief.

I watchedâ€¦

Can you put aside like dead flowers a mind that is full of fear?

Can you not feel the pain of those set faces that await

the â€˜clarion callâ€™ for news no one wishes to hear?

Can you relentlessly show that crumbling smile?

Can you quieten the beating of your own heart?

I watched the woman sitting opposite me, a reflection of myself,

sitting beside her Man, worry etching her face,

quietly waiting the prophecy that could change their lives,

was she to receive news that would set her Man free?

Set them both free!

I watched…I watchedâ€¦

I watched this fragile life snap and break,

I watched those tears at another table…
