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 57 - Waking Up! - 17/3/1984

Can a person be so blind?
Not to be able to see, what was happening behind him?
She, that is supposed to have paid bills,
She, which wanted us to save.

All things may feel, so lovely and beautiful.
Yet, they are things which, when you find out,
Make you jump up and down in temper.
As you are told of your major deficits,
A problem that creates a financial burden, for yourself.

Is this the same woman, who used to be of mine,
As real as she had turned out, to be?
The definite answer is,'No'.
Never-ending straight sex is and will always be her goal,
Even if she had her head and arms up, in the air,
And the rest of her body, dug underneath the sands and soils.

With my girl, most accounts were not paid.
My earnings, I didn’t have a chance to touch.
Money wasn’t being splurged on myself, at first,
And then the rest was spent on Michelle.

Not a word from me, could suggest changes in spending,
I now have to wait until urgent debts are cleared.
With another year to go, I’d have most likely end up in jail,
Or keep paying more debts and leaving myself, with no savings base at all.

No true marriage or defector relationship,
Would be like the one I had, from week to week.
Now I’ve got to manage my own finance,
To try to live by myself, eventually.

To see the few good friends, I used to see before.
To be back with my family and fighting for myself.
To bring back the peace to all I had known,
Whether I had been “Right” or “Wrong”,
Let me wake up, from the crisp and fresh new dawn!
