Hello Stranger

Just a random poem.

Hello stranger It's nice to meet you No it's great to meet you No it's wonderful to meet you No it's a miracle that I met you But you know not of I And you may never know, The memory of you is sketched in the stars And you and I both know that the sun must set as it will rise in the morning And as each second, minute and hour pass you will be there and I will be here Because the Earth will continue spinning The waves will...

Pretty dress dazzle and swish Long hair flow and twist Clean hands fold and hold Dark book worn and old Quiet voice repeat and plead Stale air silent and breathed Curly lashes flutter and close Black hearts cold and froze Thick doors locked and shut Smiling mouths bite and cut Sacred ritual comes to a close Pretty dress over broken soul Clean hands stained with sin Dark book condemned with Quiet voice sad and unheard Stal...

The tears are drowning me, uncried While silent screams are suffocating me inside I am dying. Missing you, the message is underlying. My chest is heavy, who knew how much empty space could weigh my body is losing its pulse with its heart so far away.... My vision is growing slowly black I say I love you, but it just echoes back I am beginning to go numb Dark and hollow, what have I become I am slowly coming undone My fail...

"We turn toward God only to obtain the impossible. As for the possible, men suffice." -Leon Chestov. A maré se vai - Adrian Gabardo Sometimes the strongest knot is the weakest, when you feel like the right is certain, there is more left than you imagined. What is granted is taken away, all that is left is the things you fight to gain. When you imagine you're driving north, you are actually losing yourself down south. The...

Ashes fall upon glazed eyes, long stilled Concealing blood and bones, a carnage landfill Right and wrong, causes and convictions all dead and gone Warriors from opposing sides, together rot, entirely forgot The past is covered, a carpet thick in grey Entombing all morals as it may Time births a fresh foundation, An unsuspecting generation Truth and lies trampled by innocent soles Every stride made is history as it’s laid...

Fire sparks a candle bright Small it shines against the night Cheerfully dancing in sweet innocence Leaving it completely exposed and defenseless Soon wind and rain pressure it to fade Causing it to flicker, cold and afraid Ashes drop from the shortening wick Hot wax pools and falls thick Darkness surrounds the little white light Ready to swallow it into the night

One seed blooming brightTwo petals opening wideThree raindrops watering downFour sun rays shining warmlyFive roots growing deepSix feet running bySeven giggles floating nearEight steps closing inNine breaths sniffing closeTen fingers breaking stemsZero seconds wilting dead

Through silence, we drift apartNothing to grow the connection of our heartsThough we were once intimateI fear the gap between us can never be metI hesitate to cut all ties, to finally say goodbyeThough I search the depths of my soulThe answers I seek I still don't knowMy thoughts drift back to long agoTo times, I cherish within my soulBut that was yesterday, the pastA point which we moved away from fastWe both try to hold...

As I sit and, thinkI try not to blinkTears well up insideNever to be criedWaiting, wonderingMemories skippingSticking, spinning roundA film without soundI turn, spin, twist, twirl,I trip, fall, unfurlStand, stagger, crumbleUnbalanced stumbleCollapse, giving wayShow hidden decayThe festering pastBursts through at long lastOne eye looks warySees the dark scaryOne knows, looks awayNot captured todaySoon I find my eyesLook th...

I run my finger through the sand Sending a message to whom I can Squiggles and curves make letters and words My thoughts form sentences to be read and heard I take my time to ensure I am clear Try as I might I can’t shake this fear I pour myself into what I have wrote Now that I have finished I dare to hope I know better of course I do For no one will see who I wrote this to All will look with a blind eye Smile and wave a...

Now We Walk

We all are just trying.

The path was clear The way well lit No surprises no unexpected twists The choices were clean Simply black and white I dutifully followed Stepped well within the lines Then came turns bends and bumps The choices got harder The way seemed lost I found myself muddling through I could not see the light I did not know what was right Every choice affects the next If only I knew what the future would hold But that would be too e...

I Know

Battling the inner demons

I know how dark the night can get I know how tight my skin can fit I know how deep the cut can go I know how much the hate can grow I know how heavy my chest can seem I know how loudly I can scream I know how thick my blood can drip I know how quick the coin can flip I know it waits 'til I'm alone I know it waits to cast a stone I know it wants to come back in I know it may one day win I know it hides 'til the dark of nig...
