Affectionately Yours

Advertisements

A place where you ain’t you, I ain’t me,

A space though small but with happiness,

Where you choose from the heap of desires,

You put the sorrows in the detritus,

Time not needed to heal wounds.

 

A place, I tell you nothing, you hear everything,

A space with dignity between us-no illusion,

Where customs to follow, but no hindrance,

You and I can laugh whole heartedly,

And tears taste only sweetness.

 

A place, You and I can embrace all others,

A space, nothing for us but all for all,

Where no discrimination-all affection,

You and I can live forever and never to leave,

Even tiny moments not for ages.

 

Written for dVerse Poetics: Poetry of Place and Space.

Good evening and see you next time.

  6. 100 Country Trek – Hello. Nice to meet you. My journey to cover as much of the world as possible began in Costa Rica in 2003. This is a story in itself, but for now I'll tell the short version . On a hike around Manuel Antonio I started chatting with a fellow hiker from Belgium. He told me he had a trip planned to visit Borneo within a few weeks of his return home. He then went on to say he had been to at least fifty different countries. That was when the travel bug bit me. I haven't stopped going since and the journey has been so incredible . It is here that I will share some of the incredible travel experiences .
