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 124 - Think Of Her First - 28/6/1986

Don’t get married with your eyes closed!
Don’t lie to the,” me” that you love!
Share secrets and converse in a no “a-hide”,
Just don’t make your tie into a loose end.

Maybe, you cannot tell her one thing,
But first think at your first agreement.
Speak as you would: kiss and caress,
Listen as you would be touched and loved.

Just don’t feel too cautious to the person you love,
Just be yourself, but think of her first.
She will love you at all her expensive heart,
Just don’t do a thing wrong, to split both of you apart.

Please listen to the one, with interest!
Please listen and see if there’s any personal repair!
But don’t just ponder and waste all your time,
Take firm hold of her hands and look directly at her face.

Say what you mean to say to her,
Say with controlled emotions and feelings,
Don’t stop! Don’t stop now or even later!
For if you stop the end will be near.

If it be four letters or more,
If you speak as if you are poor,
If only you give and not only take,
There will be shared rewards, of such beautiful love.

Take to the altar of the highest,
Tell her your plans and your future.
Ask her for her love and compassion,
And this will lead you closer, to the gates of heaven.

Squeeze her tight of all her anguish,
Suppress her with mountains of dreams and wishes,
For then she will respond to you,
To all your actions and words.

If you wish to see through others,
Let the others see you at large.
For your friends will be friends,
Of which (in bits and pieces), reflects you.

Wash away your sinful reactions,
Cleanse it with blessed soap of purity,
For they shall be, whom of which, will be,
The ’now important’ or ‘later disinterested’.

Throw away your keys to open doors,
Throw away the bad from the good.
Accept a more cleanly respectable life,
So beside you, you have the same in ‘wife’.

Patience of waiting for the time of life-today,
Where the wedding bells ring to chime,
To a happy paid reception, asking no parents for a dime,
To a crystal white remembrance: day and night.

Oh, for the Son of God!
Oh, for the father of all men!
Let all this true happiness of love,
Come from the imaginary, all above.
