Poem - Love Finding Love

by Janet A. Wilson

When Love finds Love…

Who knows what will be…

It all occur naturally…

The moments interfered by time and space…

All actions have its place…

Our thoughts intertwine the powers that be…

Our loins yearn for the ecstasy…

When love finds love…

Who knows what will be…

It all occur naturally…

Spells broken its only you and I…

There is no witchcraft in me…

Spirits vanish, stride by stride…

Negativity, have no place to abide…

When love finds love…

Who knows what will be…

It all occur naturally…

The Train Station

Love Spiritual Realm/Healing Desire by Janet A. Wilson

Twenty  Four  Hour  Train  Ride  is  an  experience  of  traveling  on  a  popular  Train Service  in  the  United  States  of  America.  The  experience  was  overwhelming  and daunting.

It was a wet and rainy autumn evening in the South of Florida, I was early for my departure to New York, I was already checked in by the agents who were very polite, from the day before when I picked up my ticket. They were informative and seemed to have been the only modern adornment, at the train depot; they spoke in a very southern accent. The following day, early evening I was expected to depart Florida for an unknown time.

First time traveler on the famous United States passenger train, I thought would have been scenic, historical and maybe romantic journey.

The quaint, authentic, very old, railroad station, was painted in beige and brown with benches for waiting passenger both on the inside and on the outside along the platform  of  the  track,  a  newspaper  stand,  a  ticket  machine  Quick-Trac  Ticketing Kiosk all blended in with the decor a small waiting area and restrooms that could accommodate four people, let me not forget a vending machine.

I scanned the place quickly and decided to pick up my tickets from ticket agent, have a friendly chat and inquired about the train and other pertinent questions so I could be prepared for the trip the following day. I walked through the depot as they were getting ready to close, it was late in the afternoon.

The day of the trip we were anxious, as this was the end of five years in Florida State,  I  was  disappointed,  as  we  accomplished  nothing,  my  mom  was  ill  and  she passed away during the course of that five years…we spent time in essence and the last of her days were unexpected.

We  arrived  at  the  Train  station  early  it  was  a  stormy  afternoon,  I  checked  in validated my tickets and I went to check in my bags on the other side of the track which was even more authenticated than that of the entrance, the ambiance of 18th century  decor  was  made  appealing  by  the  old  scale,  old  boxes  and  suitcases  lying around.  The  checking  in  of  the  luggage  was  the  same  method  as  the  modern technique at the airport, for the exception of the scale, which was not digital as it had to be in another area. Check-in went well, as I patiently waited for the arrival of the train, my well wishers and I reminisced on all we had experienced while I was in Florida. It was raining lightly and sometimes hard a short lightening storm made is dismal.

At  the  depot  there  was  an  arrival  of  the  Grey  Hound  Bus  which  had  its  final stop in old town where I waited for my long awaited departure for a 24 hour trip to my  favorite  city.  We  shopped  at  the  convenience  which  was  conveniently  located across  the  street  from  the  train  tracks.  The  rain  and  lightening  became  more intense,  and  lasted  for  a  good  half  hour  as  we  hurried  for  shelter  out  of  the lightening storm our train arrived.

The  train  arrived  on  time,  we  walked  along  the  platform  to  embark,  the boarding was a bit clumsy as the steps were as a ladder with thick metal rungs at least twelve inches (12”) from the ground. I was helped on board by a very polite female  conductor  and  male  conductor,  they  both  worked  coherently  as  they  took

our bags; yet it seems like another looked at our tickets and showed us to our seats, as we settled in we were eager to begin the trip. The voices of a conductor shouted

“All Aboard” Silver-light 2339 (not the correct number of the train) bound to New York City, next Stop arriving in 45 minutes.

We  continued  to  settle  into  our  seats  and  began  to  observe  everyone  in  our compartment and closest to us; my Son and I glanced at each other, and I reassured him it was going to be a fun trip.

The  train  began  to  move  away  from  the  station,  we  waved  good-bye  at  our entourage who escorted us to the Train Station, relatives and friends, of whom we resided while we were in Florida. We looked out at them for the last time, as it was unknown when we would be returning to Florida or be seeing them again.

It was 7 pm in the evening, our journey by train and car would end at 10 pm on Monday night. We had a full train at least so I thought, the car we were in was full to  capacity,  our  immediate  neighbors  for  24  hours  were  before  us,  a  man  and  a woman, to the exact right of us another man and woman, behind us a man, woman and child, who seem to be traveling with another older child and a older woman, these  were  together  and  who  seemed  to  have  been  a  family,  I  prayed  for  a  safe arrival  for  some  reason,  I  started  feeling  uncomfortable,  so  I  made  myself  as comfortable as possible and so did my son.

The train slowly, clanked out of our station; there were another ten stations to go  until  the  end  of  the  train  ride.  The  next  stop  would  be  Orlando,  then Jacksonville,  Charleston,  Columbia,  Selma,  Raleigh,  Washington  D.C.,  Baltimore, Philadelphia and then New York Pennsylvania Station.

The Compartment and the Passengers

The compartment was not as I had expected, we cleared our seating area of all bags and  other  pieces  of  carry-on  bags  and  placed  the  bags  in  the  provided  luggage compartments. The comfort pieces in the necessary places, head pillows, head rests and  neck  rest  were  all  where  they  should  be,  snacks,  coffee  and  drink  cups, blankets, sheets and everything else to make ourselves comfortable, because of the night  travel,  we  did  not  want  to  move  around  too  much;  or  disturb  anyone,  the space was limited and we wanted everything to be at arm’s length.

There  was  nothing  to  see  out  the  windows  everything  was  pitch  black,  there was an announcement at about 10 p.m; that the snack bar was open for those who wanted something to eat. At about the third or fourth stop we went to explore, we found a snack bar it was stocked with all kinds of fast microwave foods, pretzels, Danishes, hot dogs, coffee, etc.

The  bathroom  we  did  not  have  a  problem  locating  it  was  very  obvious  and apparent  where  it  was  located,  about  six  seats  away  from  our  seat  and  it  was  not pleasant as we would soon learn later on the journey.

The  night  rolled  by  nicely,  it  was  not  at  all  quiet,  the  noise,  from  chattering passengers was unbearable, but we ignored everything, as the car was packed, every seat was occupied in our compartment.

It  was  not  a  problem,  however,  the  passing  passengers  and  the  immediate passenger  sitting  behind  us  holding  on  to  my  seat  and  hitting  and  kicking  of  the seats  were  intolerable.  We  tried  sleeping  through  it  and  ignoring  it,  as  best  as  we could. I would soon learn, later on that journey that it was mere rudeness and they did not care or know any better.

My son and tried to sleep as much as we could throughout the night, we would

taking turns, as he stayed awake while I sleep and I would stay awake while he slept, as it appears, we both fell asleep together sometime during the night into the early morning, the people were not very neighborly, and I did not thought of asking the conductor to be removed to another car, as I did not know I could have asked, as I thought the train was full.

Morning arrived not a moment too soon, I went to the bathroom, to freshen up, it was a tad bit bigger than that of a plane’s, as I have only flew from place to place in  the  past  I  could  only  compare  the  bathroom  with  that  of  the  train;  it  was  not pleasant,  I  did  what  I  had  to  do  and  return  to  my  seat,  waited  until  my  son freshened up and left the car, we went to the snack bar car to have breakfast, we stayed  there  two  to  three  hours  of  the  journey,  we  were  now  arriving  in  either Selma or Raleigh the middle rack of the journey. I was thinking about my daughter she  traveled  this  journey  to  be  with  us  sometimes  twice  per  year  whenever,  she could afford it, I was hoping all those times it was more pleasant, because I made a silent pledged unless I traveled business class, I would never travel by train ever for the  remainder  of  my  life.  The  train  I  thought  was  an  experience  to  relax  into  a journey to arrive at a place that one has not been to for a while or to call home.

Don, my son left the snack bar, which was sunny and warm, I remained there

for another hour or two, I returned to the car, and to my surprise someone was just leaving our seats, Don went to the restroom, and it seemed as if someone was in my carryon luggage, I reluctantly sat down and waited for my son to return, we glanced

and each other and continued on the journey, to my surprised, the person behind us purposely  hit  the  seat  as  I  drifted  off  into  a  nap,  I  got  up  and  asked  if  they  could possible  control  themselves  and  their  child,  to  which  I  and  my  son  and  I  was bombarded with insults and curse words, shouting began the conductors were now on the scene to which after lots of shouts and intolerable behavior were amiss, we were told we would be removed (both offenders and defenders) from the train or to me, if to another car, to which I responded that my child and I would prefer to be removed to another car.

Some of the nightmare ended, when we were taken to another car, which I was

somewhat elated to see was half empty and quieter, we napped for a while, and it was  more  comfortable.  The  journey  continued  with  little  or  no  disturbance,  one heck of a long stop in Washington D.C. which caused some restlessness, the train was on time, and, also it must have been a stop to clean the restrooms and refuel if there  is  such  a  thing  to  do.  We  have  “two  stops  left  I  said  to  my  son,  Baltimore, Philadelphia and then lastly New York. He was looking a bit traveled, eyes tired and a weary smile popped up on his lips. He fell asleep, for a little while, we walked the aisles  where  no  one  was  sitting,  the  car  was  emptier  now,  we  had  a  few  passing smiles  here  and  there;  the  conductors  made  their  schedule  walks  and  had  a  little chit chat with the passengers in the car, answering their brief questions, they, the conductors  although  showed  a  bit  of  tiredness  in  their  eyes,  were  courteous  and helpful.

Arriving as Schedule

I really thought I would have met someone on the train, I did, a cuddly, sweet little toddler, who had her beautiful big eyes on me since we changed seats in the new compartment, I cooed and played peek-a-boo with her, for a while until it was their turn to disembark.

The scenic views of the entire ride were mostly of train stations, bushes, some towns  and  more  bushes,  there  was  nothing  exciting  to  see,  old  lumber  and  metal yards,  farms  of  some  kind,  and  fields.  The  stop  in  Baltimore,  Philadelphia/New Jersey  was  lengthy  as  we  were  now  eager  to  complete  and  end  this  weary  time consuming journey. It was time, they called our station “New York” Pennsylvania arrival next 10-5 minutes. I went to the restroom to changed and freshen up, the train  was  on  time,  we  the  passengers  were  given  instructions  as  to  disembark procedures as this was one of the main and last stop, it was to be done in a orderly manner. We followed through, we were carefully aided down from the train onto the platform at Penn station, we walked up the second level to where we picked up our luggage after about an hour’s wait, we did so, quietly and cooperatively the “red cap”  assisted  us  we  were  assisted  to  the  street  where  I  tipped  him  as  he  was  very polite and helpful.

My  son  and  I  saw  our  nightmarish  couple  and  child;  waiting  we  exchange glances and looked away. We waited patiently for my daughter to pick us up, this was  for  another  hour,  I  did  not  mind  at  all,  we  arrived  safely  at  my  favorite  city, where the smells of food, the night lights and the people were all incredible (if you get to know them) I felt love, restoration and knowledge all at once, it was as if we were  being  rejuvenated  from  the  train  ride.  We  waited  at  8th  Avenue  and  31st street,  we  spoke,  made  fun  of  the  “rats”  my  son  said  he  saw  running  around  the suitcases,  we  admired  the  young  people  and  the  jazzy  old  ones,  the  food  vendors were  selling  up  a  storm  on  that  beautiful  scented  autumn  evening,  it  was  a refreshing and wonderful feeling, I really felt love and other mix feelings. I said to my son, “Honey, it’s been five years since we have been here,(exactly five years and a month) we may not have money, but I can try again, I love New York City, its life, fun, and knowledge, you got to love and appreciated and be appreciated as it is the wisdom of Godliness of all humanity.

My daughter Alicia arrived without a car, she told we have to take the subway,

“okay” I said, we hugged for a good 5 minutes and exchange welcome greetings she and I and Don, I asked her for Alex and she told me he was home with their dad. We headed  down  31st  street  towards  where  we  would  get  to  the  subway  to  take  us home.

There at the end of that ride my other son met us, we Don and I have not seen each other for seven months, we hugged and kissed and group hugged. We finally arrived at our destination 10:35 pm on Monday night September 7, 2010, where a new life and another journey and experience would begin, I am hoping it will end in my favor this time.

Good Luck folks and may your train, plane and ship travels be pleasant and up to your expectations.

New Beginnings

Healing Desire/Love Spiritual Realm by Janet A. Wilson

The Journey Continues…

The  waves  of  one  of  the  most  beautiful  beaches  in  Athens,  powerfully,  splash across the shores of the small Greek Island. The magnificent of crystal like waters of this private enchanted beach is as a fairy tale story, the winds reverberated from the ruins which were close by, it was as therapeutic as being at all natural spa, Janet moaned restlessly on the sand as the water splashed speedily and carelessly on the shore, where she have been laying most of the morning, the tides splashing in ebbs and  flows  on  the  soft  sandy  shore  massage  her  back  and  thighs.  The  sunbathing made her even tan body appears to be glowing as she lays there thinking of nothing but  of  the  endlessness  and  vastness  of  the  sea.  Janet  was  vacationing  alone  she requested room service daily and a guide.

It was noon, time to return to her room which was being cleaned by the villa

maid she hired, Cara, she and her had become friends as they would go for dinner each  evening,  Janet  had  not  wanted  to  welcome  or  entertained  unwelcome admirers.  (Cara)  lived  in  Mykonos  (Mykonos,  an  island  of  Cyclades,  is  known  as

“jewel”  of  the  Aegean  for  its  cosmopolitan  character,  romantic  atmosphere  and intense nightlife. As one of the places for diving, it trendy beaches of powder-like

sand.  The  culture,  friendly  people  and  relaxing  environment  make  Mykonos  just what  Janet  wanted,  to  be  away  from  New  York  City  and  let  go  in  one  Nature’s splendor all her life.

The  village  where  Janet  was  on  vacation  on  the  island  of  Mykonos,  a  small, Greek residence known as Villa Delos,

the  southern  location  of  the  Delos  Limelight  within  easy  reach  of  Mykonos Town  and  the  trendy  southern  beaches,  the  two  nearest  being  Agiosloannis  and Ornos. The fabulous views breathtaking of both on the front terrace and in the pool area.

The  three-bedroom  was  modernly  designed,  with  updated  appliances  and

furnishing  and  other  amenities  located  near  shops  and  restaurants.  This  was  her second day at the villa, Janet had booked a week, to be away from the New York City  one  of  three  vacations  she  made  sure  to  have  schedule  throughout  the  year, Janet had to get away from the Board of Directors for which she was Director of Foreign Affairs for a chain of Hotels in ten major countries.

As Janet entered the room, the phone rang, it was her daughter Shaneika, both her children were in France on vacation, she called to give the good news that she was engaged to her pen-pal who she has been corresponding and dating for years, whenever he had the chance to vacation in the States.

Francois had just slipped a 10 K diamond on her finger and they were planning to get married in December, it was September, Janet was excited, Shaneika was in love with Francois and he with her, “I am surprised”, she said “Mom” you are the first  to  know”  “Sheldon  and  Shaun  is  out  sightseeing”,  it  was  their  first  time  in Europe,  France  being  the  initial  conquest.  We  talked  endlessly  for  an  hour  or  so until  Sheldon  and  Shaun  arrived,  they  were  staying  with  Francois  parents.  I  wish them well and they were not happy to hear of what had occurred with me and John, but my daughter re-assured me that I will be over it as soon as I see her engagement

ring. I laughed and I told her, I will be in New York on Sunday; we bid each other good bye until then.

The  flight  was  incredible;  the  process  from  the  Airport  to  the  hotel  went beautifully,  as  is  expected  for  most  first  class  passenger.  Janet  arrived  at  the  villa everything  was  already  arranged,  Janet  was  impressed  with  the  service,  she  was shown to her three bedroom villa by the most witty concierge. The vacation began with  massage  therapy  at  a  small  spa,  followed  by  sauna  and  dinner  at  a  local restaurant she dined alone that evening. She was told, breakfast would be served in bed the following morning, and the service at the villa was incredible. She could not wait to relax lazily on the beach and have her mind tune out of from the surprise of her final fantasy of falling in love.

Which she was sure was meant to be, some day on one of her excursions but not on this vacation or week. She was confused and did not understand why John left her in the middle of the night in frenzy after making fiery and passionate love to her.  He  kissed  her  softly  on  the  cheeks  and  fled,  without  a  word.  She  was bewildered  and  humiliated.  Was  she  to  be  imputed  for  the  chemistry  and magnetism of their magical spirited and emotional lovemaking, was he ashamed or scared of what they shared together. Their week-end together in the mountains was so fiery even the snow seemed to have melted, but John left Janet in the middle of the night without even a note or a goodbye. She has not heard from him for a whole week, after calling and leaving messages, she thought it was over, book a ticket to Greece to revamp her to forget about him.

Janet Alexander tried to rid herself of the disappointments, and the emotional damage of the emptiness she felt, not accepting the fact that she may be just has lost John and may be lonely for the remainder of her life, it was not one of the ordinary stress filled week, for which, she often take, a vacation two or three times a year, this trek was to get away from falling in love with and being rejected by a stranger who she may never see again, it was shocking and a bomb from hell, Janet, was not

expecting  John  to  leave  in  the  middle  she  knew  John  Vanderbilt  felt  the  same,  he too had fallen in love with her, their physical attraction and desires left them both exhausted  at  their  business  meetings,  it  was  as  metal  to  magnet,  their  minds connected causing them not only to complete each other sentences, but sometimes not to speak at all. John was in denial to of this fiery encounter the passion which they ignited caused him to weaken at the sight of her, as she also had very troubling tremors  and  palpitations.  They  could  not  wait  to  be  together.  This  attitude,  they both dealt with for months on a professional basis.

John and Janet's Physical Attraction

The  first  encounter  with  John  left  her  trembling  at  his  very  appearance  and mannerism. The moment she stepped into the office she knew she had to ask him on a date, she hesitated but made sure he knew of his roaming eyes and deliberate, bashful  touch  for  which  he  so  admiringly  and  softly  caressed.  Their  eyes  met  so very often, John refused to have a conversation with her other than that of business.

Janet  decided,  she’d  asked  John  on  a  date,  if  he  didn’t.  After  the  meeting  she walked to the other side of the conference table and claimed the man she knew she had to be with, the room was empty and they both packed and shoved their files in separate  cases,  Janet  asked  “what  are  you  doing  tonight  John,  I  made  dinner reservation for us at Restaurant, his reply was yes, a friend had recommended the ambiance and cuisine to be superb. John said “I’ll pick you up at 8 pm. I said “O.K.

we  are  on.  John  also  had  kids  from  a  previous  marriage;  they  spoke  of  the  kids briefly at a previous meeting. Janet knew John for a year or so only meeting on a professional basis, they were physically, attracted to each other but never seem to rush their carnal desires.

Janet rushed home in my 2010 Porsche, her commissions gave her a lifestyle she deserved,  she  spent  it  well,  on  luxury  items  money  earned  is  money  spent  to

enhance  living  and  beauty,  she  stepped  out  of  her  car  and  ran  to  her  front  door where she was met by her well personal assistant, with messages and news from her kids who were in France on vacation; Deena, her assistant in New York, would also assist her into getting dressed for her date as she told Deena of the outcome of the day  and  finally  a  date  with  John  Vanderbilt  one  of  the  most  sort  after  male  in Malibu Florida, he was in New York on business and contemplating as to whether or  not  to  purchase  a  house  in  New  England  State  or  the  big  City.  Deena  was  as excited as Janet regarding the date and hoped it went well.

Janet chose a red dress with a low back drop and transparent patent shoes, hair in chignon and a single diamond bracelet for enhancing her beautiful left arm and a large burning hot red sapphire ring for her right pinkie.

Janet had her assistant and butler prepared a small cocktail before John’s arrival.

I had finish putting together the documents, for the courier to pick up first thing in the  morning,  I  napped  until  it  was  time  to  get  dress,  John  arrived  on  time,  7  pm, reservations was at 8 pm, we had a 45 minute drive, handsomely dressed in white shirt  and  a  very  dark  sports  jacket  along  with  dark  slacks  nicely  suave  and  great looking. Every single woman in the industry wanted him.

We talked leisurely of the restaurant, and who may be there to see us together while  we  drove  into  the  city,  he  was  a  well  known  socialite,  this  is  one  of  the reasons I did not think of dating him before now, I knew he fancied me and all but the timing had to be right and I had to be ready for him and the rest of his world.
