Whispering and dreaming (by Joan B.)

I hear a sigh in the distance and suddenly

Realize it had come from me.

My dreams are of long ago when

Life was simpler and most days

Happiness surrounded me.

My sighs keep on and my dreams

Become a source of comfort.

I am whispering into the night

When there is no one to hear me.

I whisper my dreams into the darkness.

Susurrando y soñando (por Joan B.)

Oigo un suspiro en la distancia y de repente

Me doy cuenta de que había venido de mí.

Mis sueños son de hace mucho tiempo cuando

La vida era más simples y en la mayoría de los días

La felicidad me rodeaba.

Mis suspiros siguen y mis sueños

Se convierten en una fuente de confort.

Estoy susurrando en la noche

Cuando no hay quien me oiga.

Susurro mis sueños en la oscuridad.

Reach Out To Your Dreams

It’s not an easy feat;

Considering the world we live in;

Full of distractions and discouragements

It’s not what you should give into;

Considering the aspirations you’ve always had;

Full of life and purpose

It’s not out of place to look into your perception;

Considering the fact that it’s where your dreams are first pictures

Full of desired revelation and fulfillment

So, see them happening

By finding them in your perception

Reach out to them: meaning…

Reach out to your dreams

A poem to all poets by Mr. Ben, Chimezie Ihekuna.

In his Book "The Array of Thoughts"

Loving My Poetry

I love my poetry

That’s our matrimony

I treat her like my wife

That’s why our union has no strife!

How?

The praises of her virtues I’ve Poured

Her excesses of words I’ve taken Out

She made known our undying love through her Emotions

Everything about her has been a reflection of her Reality

She has been a success through her Yearning

In a nutshell, loving my poetry is loving my Poured Out Thoughts

My Poured Out Thoughts are made possible through the reality of my yearning.

Thanks.
