  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.

  Feelings grasp 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

  City lights and the stars

  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,
