Awake


Google Images
























Fully awake – eyes open
At the break of dawn
The ray of light shines down

Another day comes forth
Relentless and merciless
As the sorrow deepens

A mourning unlike, another
A loss, yet not a loss – gone
Silently the heart is breaking

Be there no reason to smile
Days – Nights, all the same
Long gone, miles away

A distance painfully etched
“Mea culpa”, this I know
Memoirs, call through time

One-step forward, a chance
Two steps back, withdraw
In all that is well-known

In a world I love, my haven
This impenetrable barricade
In exception to only one soul

Dare to define these emotions
Unleash them in a love so pure
As peace sets into our essence

The smile never fading
Those soulful piercing eyes
Penetrating, make-shift barrier

Where does one go from here?
Beneath moonlit skies, waiting
A calling, a whisper – a voice

In the final hour, known is love
By no means subsiding, over
Awakened, only to drift in time

A Ray of Light

Google Images
























As darkness engulfs your soul
Drowning with no sign of light
Damned be these circumstances
Pulling me down on my knees-

Inexhaustible battle from within
Looking further beyond, sedated
Searching a sign from above me
To guide and take my hand softly

Is there anyone listening out there
Can anyone hear my frantic pleas?
Silence this torturing of my soul
Ripped apart – falling into pieces

Looking upon a small smile to love
That tiny hug that pacifies my heart
A ever-lasting love giving me strength
To fight this war brewing ahead of me

One that crosses all known boundaries
Bestowing the urge to grasp unto life
My sole reason to breathe – live anew
Enlightened - finding my way once again

Transcending Barriers

Transcending Barriers

A singular bond that transcends
Breaking – Surpassing all barriers
Invisible to the naked eye, yet known
Only by those who hold this key
Weakened states find strength
Within this circle to move on
Misery’s pain withdrawn solely
By the other finding solace
A force beyond imagination
Whispers of wisdom heard
Coming from distant shores
In minds-eye, feel the presence
As you fall within this embrace
Hear my song – as I sing to you
Heard is the song I lovingly chant
Laying aside, the strife withheld
Behold my ray of light - see me
As I guide you along set path
Take my hand knowing in core
I shall right every immoral act
As you walk through darkness
A haven held dear - well known
Standing ground in battle - forsaken
Will be each and every scar bestowed
Among toxic tongues - renounced
Makeshifts beds - are readily made
It is there all debts are paid ten-fold

Bemused

Bemused

Where did it start?
When will it end?
Seemingly difficult to comprehend

Silence now reigns
Endless days – countless nights
An internal battle fought with might

Simply ponder on this notion
Of which may be right
Yet, still at every mishap
Deem to discern this plight

Be there no rhyme, nor reason
Tis´ just another season
As trials – tribulations
Come and go at every turn

One may debate – dictate
All these trials and errors
As the darkness consumes
Eating away at the core
Drowning in this vast abyss

Confusion – Delusions
May befall trying times
Even on a daily struggle
Dare to rise to occasion
Through the decadence
Of yet another year at loss
