Hi, little bird,
     perched high on a wire,

Where are your friends,
     with whom you’d conspire?

I feel not-so-alone,
     as you watch me watch you,

And the hours that pass,
     make me believe that it's true:

He knows all our needs,
     when we look, He provides.

And His presence may be found,
     in a simple, winged disguise.

Your heart is a stereo ,
and i love all its songs .
I can go on listening ,
for hours and long .

If i just miss a beat ,
would you play on repeat .
would you let me hear it ,
till our rhythm's meet .

And it might seem so crazy ,
for the reasons , unknown .
But keep me in your heart ,
its a place i belong .....

Let nothing grieve you beyond measure
life is short and time will claim its toll.
It's like moving forward but
remaining to a tempest of blood poetry.
Such an irony to feel free yet again
not satisfied completely.
Darkness is not meant to last
forever neither light.
The soul is the only immortal
essence in this world
the quintessence and glory of it all.

"One Small Drop"

I gave one small drop
Of help, to someone
I don't even know.
To someone, I don't
Even want to know.
To someone, I don't
Even want to sit
Next to on the bus.
But that one small drop
Counts. And now, I know it.

Giving a chance
testing my luck
defying my dream's will
feeling like sculpting.
I think i am going to put
you in trouble for that
cup of coffee
my memories like
offerings to an altar
of old scars.
Forgive me
excuse me
for such a long talk but
i think the trembling in
my heart has stopped.
The tone in your voice was sad
our minds were gone in feelings
we could not name.

All the world is at war
We are not safe
Red snow under our feet
Gun shots ahead
Then a green tree with lights
Men step over the trenches
We don't shoot
We walk towards them

It’s Christmas on the Battlefield
It is a poem about Christmas day during WWI

Look at this garden,
I grew it myself.
I whispered to the roses that were once wilting
You're stronger than this
so they could grow wild and beautiful.
I gave the sunflowers all my support
so that they could turn their faces to the sun
stand tall
and never worry about where their roots were again.
I gave them all my water
to keep them here
to keep me company
so I try to ignore
how parched they've made me.

It's already midnight
oh no just six in the afternoon

I have spider webs on my wrists
you seem to be stuck to

tracing the drawings on my arms
that won't erase

I'm halfway down
the bottom of the ocean
where no one will
come looking

there's no sun
no stars
I'm not going to care

if the surface is a reality
and I'm not breathing

I'll meet infinite darkness
finally
