For my muse……
a cappella
words come in waves
a chorus splashing in harmony
drenching my dancing heart
as my muse croons
her siren melody
a hypnotic verse reminiscent
of the haunting a cappella
sung by a lonely sea
urging me to fall overboard
into the depth of her words
submerged in metaphors
drowning in poetry
a sunset and a mojito
.
When does loneliness most affect me?
No, not when you think. I would have to say when I sit down to eat. I always imagine the dinner time conversations when families or couples dine. I bet most people take these moments for granted. I don’t.
Drinking my mojito, I watched a sunset.
Started writing a poem on a napkin. (Yes, we may have to change the blog name to The Lonely Napkin Author).
I wrote something for my muse. It will post this coming Monday. Hopefully, she will like it.
This was my dinnertime view last night, all that was missing was YOU.
Seriously, did you really think the Beach Boy didn’t have one last adventure in him? Today, I am flying to the Dominican Republic for a three month writing retreat/vacation.
Question: Who wrote the following? A tramp, a gentleman, a poet, a dreamer, a lonely fellow, always hopeful of romance and adventure.
The first week, I will be staying at exclusive 7,000 acre resort Casa de Campo. It is a great golfing resort. President Bill Clinton just stayed there in July. The resort’s theatre was opened with an exclusive concert by with performers Frank Sinatra , Buddy Rich, Heart. and Santana (Aug 20, 1982).
On my last vacation I chased whales. The itinerary for this trip begins with the exploration of the 100,000 year old Las Maravillas Caves, where long before Chistopher Columbus arrived, the Taino Indians left pictographs on the walls.
Altos de Chavón is a replica 16th century Mediterrean village which serves as a cultural center for students, tourists, and artists from around the world. St. Stanislaus church is a stone building in the center of the village. Consecrated in 1979, Pope John Paul II sent the ashes of Poland’s patron saint, St. Stanislaus, and a hand-carved statue from Krakow to commemorate the church’s inauguration.
Of course, I will be spending time with my goddaughter Dibel (a.k.a. Lily) and so many friends.
I will stick to my regular blogging schedule Monday and Thursday (comment closed)

Sounds like anyone you know?
All Of Me
This week I dedicated myself to catching up to my backlog of 300+ messages. Just replied to my last one.
I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your amazing support, patience, and beautiful words. You have no idea how you, all of you, have touched my lonely heart.
Your warm wishes and praise will always glow deep inside of me.
Thank you for blessing my soul.
I leave you with these magical words from John Legend. (Yes, one from my playlist).
“All of me, loves all of you.”

A new segment I want to introduce to the blog.
just a thought
.
who knows where destiny will take me
I hope it’s with you
anthology of you
today, I penned another entry
with hemorrhaged ink
that never dries
between the yellowed pages
of yesterdays I dreamt
tomorrows that never arrived
in my journal
i drank a kiss from your lips
made love to your soul
with the same words
that never grow old
now I sit here planning
another imaginary rendezvous
in my cherished diary
i pen words of beauty
in my anthology of you
light
the illumination of your affection
always surrounds me
as a formless, invisible spectrum
taking shape in my lungs
as I breathe in your atmosphere
it blinds me with the hope
that the light of your love
will be the final glimpse
my eyes admire
before darkness shrouds my life
