little fish

little fish swimming

tail moving fast and then slow

swim away to be free

don’t nibble me please

nibble on small weeds

they offer much more for you

swim fast little fish

fast enough to carry you

safe and sound to home

Beach day

sea shells are heaven

because they sit and relax

all different shapes

sitting in the sun

only knowing peaceful times

happy to enjoy

i sit in the sun

the shells and me happily

enjoying in Peace

Happiness with haiku

water brushes coast

coast is happily cooling

smooth coast once again

i can feel the glow

the soft sand lying in glee

water carressing

i close my eyes now

i am the sand happily

feeling the water

Slow sea

Into the sea

slowly entering

a welcoming coolness

of moving jelly

now and again

a fish

sliding

across my

squirming leg

Alone or lonely

A lonely dog

walks along

a lonely shore

lonely gulls

only two

still fly

in the hope

of more to

come

and lonely no more

sea shore

Memories (complete)

Going back to the room I had a sandwich, and juice and watched T.V.

I try to relish every moment of my life as time is precious. So I swam went up to eat and rest and get some T.V. entertainment, then, time for a walk. I can tell you and you may have guessed by now, I love love love Oroklini. Peaceful, calm, picturesque, a variety of homes: old homes that take you back in time, new homes with tiny colorful gardens and little pools to soak in the sun, small apartment buildings and yes villas too. Take your pick, I sure would like to. I feel this kind of place can cleanse your soul the way a desert would. After the walk you somehow feel lighter, stress can be quite heavy.

Well that’s it folks, time to say goodbye until we meet again, Sayonara

Memories (5)

I love visiting places of worship and I was thrilled to find a very old church, St.Lazarus Church. I also got to see the old city market, both a must see. The seaside is something else too, there is a very long road with shops and cafes , then opposite is all sea, the whole length. Well I can tell you I was not far from Heaven!

I went back to the cafe at the bus stop and had a “mixed” sandwich for 1.50 pounds. “Mixed” means ham, cheese, and a lot more, hunger can really make food super delicious. I went home tired, happy and broke. YES! Other than that shoe shop, it is expensive in Cyprus. Money actually flies out of your wallet, not too much self control when you are happy.

Happy to be “home” , a cool shower, a good book, coffee and AC, is a great balm for the hot sticky Mediterranean summer.

Oh, I almost forgot, it began to rain and I went into the pool, very relaxing indeed. The owner was near by and said, ” Well ,it didn’t rain in winter, now it rains!”

To be continued………

Heaven to me

Heaven to me

white washed buildings

small homes. rectangles of life

leading down white washed steps

and Heaven

looking down

with another blue heaven

waiting for my footsteps

the gently lapping sea

Peaceful Scene

Two blue and white chairs

Keeping company

with a blue topped table

near to a blue gate

that opens

to the blue sea just

below,

wind gently blowing

the sweet salty smell

all over my senses

Sea side heaven

Sea side heaven

As waves roll and frolic

Trying to see if maybe

They can reach

Shore

This time

They almost reached

The playing toes of a child

Waiting Waiting

For the wave

To come

And play with her

Next one,

She says to herself

Next one

Will reach me

If not

Maybe I might

Go in

Or out

A bit further

And play

The wave

And

I
