FROM THE POET

This is a series of poems written by John Svododa over a number of years. There are times of peak-where numerous poems were written & there are also times of lows where there are long periods between each poem. As the author is trying to reach a goal of 1001 (and then retire!!) it was never envisaged that this would be done over a short period of time. Poems can be humorous, ridiculing someone or something, show a meaning of hurt or love or even project feelings that not necessarily be directed to the same person/thing, can be a reflection of life or to be life. Most poems are trying to send a message to the reader be it not understandable or nonsense.

The idea of this poet is not to have any ill feelings against anyone but to be read by young whom can learn about life – and by the elderly look back at what could have been. Some are very personal- but who cares when you are currently living in a life that has total enjoyment. Suggestion is not to criticize but to take in the enjoyment of creative poetry make it meaningful and thus may be you can be an author.

Poem Number 6 - True Love Of Life - 20/9/1983

Keeping our lives, so busy,
Keeping us living, from day-to-day,
We are the adults of the world, today,
As we wait to hear, the bells ring,
And the voices of our children sing.

Many thoughts are in our minds,
As we stand up, side by side.
Our love, is a true love of life,
An ever-lasting life, husband and wife.

As both of us know, how our children will grow up,
Even our parents feel the same,
With our own family’s problems,
We know, we really care,
As it wouldn’t be life,
If problems, were so rare!                                                                    

Our joyous hearts, our cheerful voices,
And the happiness that surrounds us, all the time.
From the first time, we had met,
We have learnt a lot, since the both of us.
Fell in love, at once!”

Poem Number 5 - Possible? - 19/9/1983

Is it possible to share, the company?
Of someone, so nice and pleasant,     
As the closeness and fidelity, is all the same.
The love, which the sun to a person creates a suntan.

Poem Number 4 - Stars Of The Future - 2/9/1983

We’d only met, just a short while ago.
As we had not realized that we’d end up, “So happy as can be!”
As the weeks, they past so past,
The months are drawn near.

The sharing of items,
Is a loving share?                                                                                               
As the rest of our friends and relatives say,                                             
“We’d both make a great pair”.

Songs of the rainbow are in our hearts,
For we are in love and we know it is a great art.
Singing together, colours our worlds,
So we live our lives, discovering more about ourselves.

Time is important, to us every single day,
Keeping us so busy, day-to-day.
As we treasure each other’s feelings, deep in our hearts,
We share the great love, which is within our hearts.

As I am younger, She just a little more older,
Age has no bearing with me at all.
We both think together,
For the future of our lives.

Parents, have we both,
Who are always so concerned.
But we love them for their worries,
And for always being there, when needed.

Stars of the future,
Brightens our lives,
For we found each other,
Like to quiet rolling of the tides.

Children do we like,
Forgetting all human strikes.
For everyone we know,
Would like to know our plans of future days.
