Wandering on desert's sand under a relentless sun...some are water thirsty, others, like alcoholics, can't get enough from their glasses, yet, a few will never quelch the thirst for a mother as long as they are alive.
Many things I could do
if I were a child,
climb to the top of the trees
or run like a wind going mad.
Pursue the moving shadows
if I were a child,
to every corner of the garden
kissing them with my laugh.
Throw questions and questions
if I were a child,
to every person in the world
and for answers not wait.
Many thing I could be
if I were a child,
from a love-starved orphan
to a bundle in a mother's arms.

Wonderful Write .....Hugsssss Happy Valentines Day george
My God, I love how you write, Georg. I loved this poem, especially the line, "kissing them with my laugh." What a wonderfully descriptive phrase ... just wonderful.
Love,
CJ
If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
Questions, unquestioned discoveries, and answers in parable and rhyme…. This collection records a journey starting with a 1960s retrospective and the first man on the moon, moving to a new millennium welcomed in with a terrorist spin, family crises,

I'm sorry, it is NOT here...you cannot be black and write these words. Perhaps royal purple, bordered in white...
