Jona PoloRamirez Poems

Birds swimming in the sky
Colours blended with the kite
Beach's gleaming in sandy white
Sun shining a beauty in my eye.
...

'Hope is a waking dream.' Aristotle

Hope is a dream - a survival of our inner thoughts,
Love is a hope that opens up our hearts,
...

I may not express what I feel for you
But in silence I know 'Someone' up high do,
I may not feel your touch in my arms
But the wind's silent soft touch will do
...

'God created air to give life, and water to sustain it.' J. Polo-Ramirez

Get on with our lives in two different worlds,
Mine in the slow lane, yours the brain gets drained.
...

Winds blowing from the east
Transplanted scents into the west,
...

Mountains of forest far beyond the eye can see,
...

We are blood relations and yet there's a big wall between us,
We can't get through; we choose not to get through,
The wall is growing not because it has to - but a wish
A wish that somehow this wall will unravel itself, a wishful thinking;
...

Love, how should it be?
Sweet charmer you've got me,
If love's a mystery then
You fall in and out one day.
...

Memory lost in a sea of thoughts
Thinkers not, but images recalls
Mind sees the picture
But eyes just the shape
...

'Arrange whatever pieces come your way' Virginia Woolf

I thought I died in a dream one night
For reality tells me my heart did die one time,
...

Awake again, late at night listening to the sounds,
A city of urban hustles, parallels of foxes' hounds,
Crickets replace by transports' whooshing by
On a highway, busy like an ant preparing for a stormy day,
...

The minutes of drought in my mind in times where the city
Is bustling with life, sounds of movements from a car -
Meaningless - but its continuous movement from afar -
A brook flows by, an imagination... wanted to reach out
...

Harbinger of death half clad in a gown of grey
Hair tousled, monstrous to my normal sight,
Fist clasp, holding a thunder cloud...
Face stern with unconscious smirk ready to jump out.
...

Mountain ranges smiling dawn of the day
River sleepless, awakened by a peeking sun's ray
...

A Special class of four, writing and re-writing
References so vast, the choice abounds,
An intelligent choice, a brilliant idea surmounts,
The price of knowledge, a flexible thinking
...

My life began as an upsurge of existence
A series of my continuity, my time's desire to move on.
For my time moves on forever, moves forward
...

Full fathom lies our heart's desire,
Mourned forever 'till the next life,
...

Man-made jungle, grey and brown colored forest abound,
Giant hawks perched on cornices - ready to claw;
...

'There is a message in everybody's smile.' JPR

She mirrored herself into a pond,
She speaks not with her mouth but in her sad eyes,
...

The Tea Mug waiting to be picked
Her only company while Death knocks on her door,
The sun already setting by the horizon,
Outside the world seemed to stand still
...

The Best Poem Of Jona PoloRamirez

Sunny Day In Bondi Beach

Birds swimming in the sky
Colours blended with the kite
Beach's gleaming in sandy white
Sun shining a beauty in my eye.

Boats sliding pass sunbather's row
As they gaze up the sky so blue
Images painted on clouds so white
A background to my imaginary flight.

I was there and where were you
Nowhere to perceive but just a shadow,
In the shades of trees and sandy beaches
An image reflected on water's surface,
A mirage of you lost in the shady trees
Lost in the sky's white coloured shades.

In nature and in man's work of wonder
We get lost to find and discover
The truth an image in our mind reveals
As we fly up high and come down our heels.
Out here we lay by the sun's rays,
Counting footsteps on the sandy beaches.
