Broken Pieces
Crystal tears fall down
My face as memories collapse
My whole body.
Puzzle pieces,
They are, to which
I can’t find the
Connections to clasp
Them back together
Again.
Tape nor glue
Can stick pieces together
Or maybe they were never
Meant to be
Joined together in the
First place.
Candles are lit
To honor the humanity
Of our souls,
To praise the broken
Spirited and to join
The feelings of the words
That can’t be spoken.
Crystal tears fall down
My face as I realize
What’s broken is broken.
Energy
Your high energy
Consumes me like never before –
Energy of love
Fallen Tears
Tears fall into
The hands of the soul
That doesn’t deserve it.
That soul is not a bad soul,
But a clueless one
Because if he knew
The distress he caused,
He’d be speechless.
True colors show
Every once in a while
And I’m afraid his
Has shown too soon
For me to prepare.
Heartbroken,
I am not as I realize,
It’s not me, it’s you.
Chills run down my
Spine as I fear you,
I don’t fear you exactly,
But, I fear your consequences.
Life is too short
For hate and war.
I know that,
But do you?
Never To Be Heard
If we are never to be heard,
Why was man created to speak?
Visions of captured souls,
Hearts, and voices will be
The end of us if we cannot
Express words through
Our self-spoken mouths.
Black shadows come
And consume us as
Prisoners,
Never to be heard.
The demon destroys
Our lives passionately,
Carelessly, beating us
Mentally as our self-esteem
Slowly falls into the deep
River of hell,
Never to be heard.
Darkness has risen
As light falls.
Our mouths
No longer speak of
Love and life because,
If we have freedom,
We are lost in a world
We thought we knew.
So,
We don’t speak,
Never to be heard
And our mouths
Are closed,
Never to be heard.
Presence of Existence
The green grass glades
As the wind gently blows.
Flowers are so fragile
They break at the gentle
Touch of breeze.
Sweet silence
Is at this destination
As you can hear chirping,
Whistling, and the sound
Of woodpeckers pecking
On the dark brown, firm,
Wood tree.
As I walk on the sidewalk,
I sight-see all the beautiful
Things that surround me
In my state of misery.
I can sense
The smell of spring flowers
And feel the presence
Of clarity.
Clouds change
To a shallow,
Gray color as spring showers
Appear into existence
People run to
Not get soaked,
But I stay to soak
In the presence
Of existence.
Lost Soul, Lost Spirit
I am a sensitive
That can see through
Man’s lost soul,
Lost spirit.
The feeling is
Arising through me
In which I can’t understand.
It’s as if the soul
Has spoken lost
Words to me.
Into it’s forsaken
World,
A world that is deserted
And unknown.
I shiver, because
Of the cries
That washes
Feelings of life
Away.
I want to help
Reunite man’s
Lost soul,
I want to connect
The puzzle of life
To him so that maybe,
His lost soul
Will soon be found.
Definition of Light
Light shines upon you
Quite dim like the morning dew-
You are shining light.
The Sea
The light blue sea makes
Beautiful waves come to life-
Vibrantly beauty
Survival of A Rose
The smell of roses
Lingers into my soul.
My stomach
Begins filling up
With butterflies
As I get closer to
This unexpected life.
Sometimes,
I wish it could last
Forever rather than
Become extinct in our
Little world.
Its beautiful
Red-covered flower
Petals send me through
Painless memories,
Beautiful visuals.
Raindrops fall
Onto each rose petal
Gently, fearlessly.
Lifeless is now
Gone for now
Until it cannot
Survive anymore.
Grow
I’m growing
Older and older.
How I wish
I would stay young
But, how I wish to
Grow old and to
Learn how to love,
Live, and learn.
Night Sky
As the night sky
Blooms to existence,
Stars instantly begin
To be in the light.
Beautiful white noises
Appear as music
To me as they sing
Lullabies to my ears.
They who needs
Healing comes to
Meditate beneath
The stars and the moon.
Roses
The beautiful rose
And its beautiful color-
Like a loving heart
Punished
He would
Abuse her day
And night not matter
Why the cause.
She’d scream
As loud as she could
But, it seemed as if
The world was deaf towards
Her voice.
She would cry
Day and night,
Wondering why,
Why she was picked
To be stomped on,
Slapped, stabbed,
Punched, and everything
Above.
Why was she
The one to be
Punished?
Life’s Not So Bad
City lights
Suddenly flash
The depths of my soul
As I’m standing on the
Balcony.
Staring up at stars,
Wishing on a wish
To never leave
This calm place.
Sheer joy
Comes over me,
Flooding my soul
With emotions I
Cannot explain.
The moon shines
Its sheer glare
Down upon me
And I feel a higher
Power wash away
All my fears and worries.
As I stand there,
Peacefully still,
I realize life ain’t
That bad.
I stand there
In such a state,
A meditative one that
All I can feel is
Undenying love
Deep in my soul.
I, myself
Cannot explain
How I really feel
In this moment,
Only God knows.
I finally come back
To present,
I look up at the
And the moon and I
Realize life is not so bad.
Never Forgotten
Tears fall down
My face as I visualize
What you could have been.
Pictures appear
In my mind of life
That you’ll never have.
Never in my life
Will I ever have
The chance to feel
Your presence,
Only in heart and mind.
My feelings begin
To race with sad
Emotion as I realize
That I will never feel
What you feel, see what
You see, or touch what
You touch on this
Earth.
Tears fall down
My face as I realize
That you are gone
But never forgotten.
Our Love
He says
He loves me
Like he loves
The sea,
Well I love him
Like I love a
Peaceful swim.
Tree Beauty
Why, those beautiful
Trees, how the colors
Define the real
Beauty of them.
As red stands for love,
Orange stands for power,
Yellow stands for the
Brightness of life.
Oh, how I cannot
Wait for the season
Of fall to arise
Back up again.
I can’t wait
To see the beauty
Of trees that
Mother Nature
Has made.
Pain Reigned Over Me
I’m drowning
In the pain that you
Sent me through.
The pain is
Suffocating me
As to where I
Cannot breathe
To breathe air
So I can finally fight
To numb the pain and
Let it go out
Of my life.
I try to
Be stronger,
Stronger than you,
Stronger than pain
Itself, but it seems
As if the pain cannot
Break, it seems as
If pain took charge.
Known Silence
Silence becomes
Accustomed to when
The only soul there is
Is you.
You try and grab
The closest strength
You can, but you soon find
There is none.
I become
Claustrophobic
To the sense of
Loneliness building
Up.
I shield myself
For safety of not
Getting hurt,
That’s the only
Way I survive.
Loneliness
Is now a bully
To my soul.
I have to fight
To survive
Life’s Nature
I look into
The sea waters
Of my life like
A crystal ball and
I wonder what my future
Holds.
Calm winds
Surpass me into
The dignity of the
Light blue sky.
I look down
Upon my past
And realize that
My journey
Is not yet finished,
That I still have eggshells
To walk on and
Seashells to love and admire.
Upon my tree
Of life,
I water it with
Clear emotions
So that it may grow
Into leaves
Of adventure.
Life In The Outside World
Life in the
Outside world
Begs for truth.
I’m afraid
I’ll freeze in this
Cold world and the
Ice will never break.
My heart stops
Cold never to
Recover from this
Shattered lifestyle
I’m in.
Life in the
Outside world
Grows heavily more
And more as lives
Are born and souls
Leave.
We cry our share
Of tears, wondering
Why life is this crucial.
Life in the
Outside world
Crumbles to the
Ground as lovers
Do not love and
Friends are not
Friendly.
Life in the
Outside world
Is a cold place
We live in.
Choices
People make
Choices,
Good and bad ones,
But they never
Know what is until
They’ve done it.
They never
Think about
What it could
Cause, because
Sometimes,
They just don’t care
How people may
Feel in the end.
White Dove
A beautiful day
In the sunlight,
A peaceful day when
It’s warm and bright.
Where it feels
So good to be in
A place of happiness
But also knowing
That there will be
Some sadness.
A peaceful, quiet
Night, sweet voices
In the sky where you
Will always want to
Be by in the day and in
The night.
Perfect
It’s like
A world with
No problems,
A person with no
Bad times.
Animals
Not being
Abused,
People in peace
And not war.
Love instead
Of hate.
This is
Probably
The definition
Of perfect,
Too bad it’s
Not reality,
But then again,
Ain’t nothing
Perfect.
Far Away
You’re so
Far away,
I can’t reach
You.
Why’d you
Leave?
Why’d you
Have to go?
You’re so
Far away.
I can’t find you.
You just
Disappeared
Without a trace.
Why aren’t you
Here? Why are you
So far away?
Winter Breeze
You feel
The surroundings
Of the winter breeze.
It feels
As if it’s
Coming over
You, the coolness,
The wind.
You feel
The cool air
Just moving
Through you,
It just feels so good,
You don’t want to
Leave the cool,
Winter breeze.
My Love For Poetry
My love
For poetry
Is like my love
For flowers
And trees.
Peace And Earth
Earth be still for life
So we can have peace awhile-
Peace on earth be still
Rainy Day
As the rain
Falls, streets are
Getting slippery
And cars are getting wet.
Leaves from trees
Are getting soaked,
People playing and
Chasing and running
Around.
Rain clouds
Getting dark
As people run
Inside their houses
On this rainy day.
The Eyes of Nature
Here,
