I Was Both
Dark was the time, deep I had drowned,
In the mysterious mythical realms, I owned.
Lost in the ages, this traveler all alone in a hole,
I was both the king and the poor man’s soul.
Within the depths of darkness, I try to gleam,
A candle or a flicker that fights the emotional storm.
Within each page are the painful stains robbing happiness,
I was both the poet and reader trying to hide tears.
Against the mighty Himalayas my shadow was invisible,
A soul or lover it mattered not to the conifer forests.
Inside each stream and cliff an echo murmured sadness,
I was both the mountain and the pebble searching for hope.
Politics
A friend becomes a foe,
The unknown is benefactor,
The trusted a reaper of votes,
The devoted divided by money,
The illiterate bought over drinks,
The rich played with estate power,
Family fights for ideology supremacy,
The streets fill to support propaganda,
Empty homes and hearts cry for agendas,
Nothing seems wise or evil in politics.
The soul and land divided by borders,
A planet aggregated by colors and income,
The skies race for the further planets or sun,
The water dived for resources and even gold,
The oil sold like water and as the thirst boils,
Rulers dream of pompous cars and breaking news,
History and facts concealed to make or erase God,
Sell bullets and peacekeepers to continue wars,
To trade or buy humans was taken to the grave,
Everything is remembered and forgotten in politics.
Overcoming Guilt
Wrong was the word and the eyes when they spoke,
The face which read messages that never meant to be.
In actions which deferred fate, the touch was intentional,
This feeling seems universal to last even when international.
Why did it happen and whose plan did one follow today?
As emotions ruin the mind of the thoughts that forbid,
The body gets closer knowing magnetism isn’t the reason,
This soul creeps silently to fill dreams teaching treason.
Pages torn and memories deleted to ensure a safe future,
A frame broken and mirror avoided to pass tears unsure.
Why, when, what, which whom, is known yet heart refuses,
Overcoming guilt, love is soaked, buried, with denial douses
Relieve Me
It is me to suffer pain with nothing to gain,
Everything said and done is evil.
All I do is unworthy, foolish, and seen selfish,
Me and myself is all the world about,
What and whom to live or die for is a doubt.
My feelings and tears are washed like rain,
Talk and thoughts are all like shame.
Night passes without dawn in this endless walk,
No horizon to make a wish or dream true,
No living to live for, take me and relieve me again.
