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 114 - Togetherness: All In One - 17/6/1986

Do I look upon every woman, to gaze on one’s breast?
Can I put myself to mind and also to rest?
Is it that there is an eye out for them?
That they have an eye out for me?

I do not believe that there is one eye on me,
As my body to me, is not handsome.
Yet, I may have an eye out on one of them,
But right now, she’s not to be seen.

A woman of make-up on her face,
A woman, whom I won’t compete against in a race.
A woman of beauty,
And that doesn’t include, “Good Looks!’

How I miss her, not being near me,
How I miss her, not sitting aside me,
How I miss her, in every aspect all told,
And how I love her socializing ideas.

Thanking God, for getting us to know each other,
As I will love and cherish her,
As long as it takes,
Before one of us: death-depart.

I have found the woman of love,
I will want her in my abode.
Given time, patience and a mutual understanding,
We can both make it through, together: all in one!
