Youth

Youth

Staring at the clouds
I dream of flying through them
Unbound and care free

Sun now warms my cheek
Pearl pink castles made of clouds
How I miss my youth

One minute it's freezing, the next it's a lovely day. London!
Though I've got alot on my mind, I couldn't help but make shapes of the clouds and be truly immersed in it. It felt so real.
I really miss just being a kid...

Your knight in rusty armor

Nov 2018 Franck Aleksander

Your knight in rusty armor

You will be safe as long as I'm here with you
You don't really need me, it's true
But I'm here
I'm not what you expect in a knight
I'm not charming
I'm not super strong
I'm not even that brave
My armor is old and rusty
My sword is broken
I don't even have a horse
But for you, I will fight
For you, I would die
For you, there is nothing I wouldn't do

I promise I'll keep you safe...

Friends

Nov 2018 Franck Aleksander

Friends

We are bonded
Unbreakable
The stupid things we do
Just bring us closer together
We have super powers
We are indestructible
We are more than just friends
We have three strong qualities
Faith, Hope, and Love
We would crawl through each others windows just to be together
We find joy in the dumbest things
We stay up and watch the sunrise together
We are crazy
We are a beautiful mess
We are best friends for life
Best friends forever
They hate that I'm not confident
They see me as
Funny, crazy, smart, a good friend, a great friend, their best friend
And I see them the same
The time we spend apart from each other is torture
But when we see each other all the pain goes away
I could be filled with rage
But they would be able to calm me down instantly
Can we be split apart?
No

My friends are the best thing in my life...

Please live

Nov 2018 Franck Aleksander

Please live

I know how it feels
I understand
I've been in your shoes
So trust me when I tell you
It's not worth it
Your life is worth living
There are things that you are probably going through
That no one on this earth could ever understand
But things always get better
And I know that sounds cliche
But trust me I mean it
You're hurting I see it
I see the pain
I see the insecurity
I see the heartache
But I also see strength
I see love
I see beauty
I see potential
And there is someone on this earth
Who will help you see all the good things
But you have to be patient
Please be patient
Good things come to those who wait
I know it's hard
But love will find you and it will all be worth it
Endure the pain because you will be healed once love finds you
Please live.

Please live. You are worth it. Don't let the fear and the pain take over. Live on, keep fighting...

Someone stole my color

Nov 2018 Franck Aleksander

Someone stole my color

Someone stole my color
And threw it to the wind
Scattered like ashes
I don’t know if I’ll ever find it

Someone stole my color
From the face I know so well
I saw it in the cotton candy clouds
And the teal ocean swell

Someone stole my color
I guess that’s where it went
The world looks so much brighter
Like something heaven-sent

Someone stole my color
And that’s what no one knows
Depression isn’t black
It’s the color of a rose

It’s the light orange in a sunset
And the yellow of a peach
Light blue, my favorite color
So simply out of reach

Purple like my favorite eyeshadow
No, lavender, I’d guess you’d say
And my favorite music artist
Although he has passed away

Someone stole my color
Now everything’s too bright
I suppose sometimes darkness
Isn’t the opposite of light

Someone stole my color
So I’ll wear grey and black
As if in mourning
Until I get it back

Fine.

Fine.

My cold heart
Has forgotten to call you
But I'm not lonely
I'm fine, I'm fine

The darkness of the night
Shakes away my sleeping dreams
But I'm not afraid
I'm fine, I'm fine.

A poem made by a good friend of mine; had to publish this, because why not?

Kissed by Fire

The Mellon

Kissed by Fire

Mamma always told me-
I was struck motionless at the sight of her
Son,
Don't let me catch you playin' with fire.-
Her hair was ablaze
One of these days you're gonna get burned. -
Yet I am but a moth to her flame

Two poems in one, because 2 is always better than one.

My Sun

My Sun

Nothing but sunshine
You tell me that I’ll be just fine
Your words lift me up like blooming flowers
Your beautiful kind soul
Could never be so foul
Be that bright light
Because the darkness you’ll fight

One perfect muse?

Nov 2018 Franck Aleksander

One perfect muse?

Where are you
my one perfect muse
the shape of contours
conjured in dreams
held since bud was formed

Where do you rest
waiting
like me for that
eclipse
of moments

Where?!

Are you even
embraced in capsule
light
weightless
located in One

Or are you diverse
scattered like seed on
winds unknown
beyond my reach
as I wonder

Where?!

Is it pointless to conceive
of your fullness
knowing deep down
you exist only in
poetry of disenchanted idealists

Newly formed realists
whose life work
lies smashed
pointless journey
reaching reality

Or will I glimpse you
in passing crowd
ephemeral but
sharply cut out
from all the rest?

(If not 'muse' then boss, friend, partner... )
