Hands

Sleepless nights
Again and again
Unchanging
Restless
Never there

Tonight
On my bed I lie
Awake
Seeking your hand
A lifeline,
A constant

An inch, a foot
Away
Farther
I touch
Another's

And I miss you.

Nights

I stay awake at night
I hear your voice
I see your face
And my mind can't keep you out
My heart insists on
Not letting you go

When I manage
To shut my eyes,
I wake up with tears
I keep crying

Loving you was always painful
It still is
You brought joy
You brought tears
And now you bring pain
Like a dove carrying death
On its wings

I shut my eyes for
The nth time
Tonight
And wish I won't
Remember

Walls

The walls around me
Won’t crumble,
Or decay

The walls around me
Are indestructible and
Ruthless

The walls around me
Won’t go down to ruins

The walls around me
Live like iron-fisted seeds
Along the crash of waves
Against the coast

The walls around me
Grips my heart,
Sears my soul,
Strips me of life

The whispers from the inside
Capturing my sins,
my pride, my love,
my sense of feeling
and being

I walk down on a path
that presented “life”
And I see that

The walls around me
Won’t be left behind.

Homeless

In this old place,
Where flowers bloom and wither,
And where seas keep crashing
Against the sun-burnt sand,
I find no shelter
To keep me from
The defying odds of nature

On this land,
I found hope and terror,
I smelled fear and anger,
And I felt joy

From this dire environment
I run away

I keep going places -
Everywhere it's the same
My belongings are packed -
Always ready to be grabbed
For my leave

And people think
'Is a fugitive in their midst?'
But a fugitive will,
And always be sought -
He is existing and chased
As to I
Have no person to keep me down

because I have no home to keep.

Music Box

I've turned the key
Let it played, turn
Round and round,
Let it enticed me in its wonder
Wound up its music
Around my head

Created an illusion
That made me happy

As the key staggered
Its way to its last rhythm,
Melody,
It robbed me of my tears

It finally ended
Finally closed.

And took my heart away from me,
Then broke its key.
