Awake

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
