Anita Atina Poems

Are you alone
Eating a meal, with only thoughts for company
In a new city, with no one to share the discovery
Or when the odd one out at a party, is you
...

If life’s a river
Flowing on a course
Long proven to be the best way
To reach the sea, then flow on
...

Birthdays should be celebrated
To respect the gift of life
And to thank our parents
For bringing us into the world
...

One day, I want to talk
A long meandering conversation
Without watching the clock
While rushing to catch a flight, or a train
...

I am the daughter of the sun and the sea

And I proudly stand ashore
...

The garden of five senses

Welcomes with flowers, of all hues
...

A lazy drizzle ceased,

The garden still wrapped in a languorous haze,
...

If you’re moved to tears

Don’t be afraid, to show you care
...

Deliciously warm

With ripe tomatoes
...

Why is it that we remain tied down in pain

To relationships that have turned cancerous
...
