Anita Atina Poems

The sounds of silence wrap me in a comforting hug,

My soul leaps ahead unhindered.
...

The journey will soon begin
For now a whirl wind of activity,
To be well prepared,
For this almost feels like a pilgrimage into my past,
...

You have bewitched me, you sorceress

And I’m happy to be under your spell
...

This incredible deep knowing that we share astounds me
An absence of the normal trappings of love, confuses me

That my soul’s mild melancholy was a handmaiden of love, I did not know
...

O honourable mountain
Allow me to walk to your peak
There you are, timeless, elegant
Framing the sun, the moon and the stars
...

There, high up on the top most branch of that tall slender tree

Is a rough-hewn nest swaying with the breeze
...

I have often wondered why

People who are in love
...

Sometimes when the days and nights that separate us

Stretch out, an endless void
...

When conversations seem
Distant echoes of the past
Is it time to let thought slip into words again?
...

The Eternal Chase


Why must everything beautiful
...
