In my room by old window,
As turn lights are dimmed,
The face of new shy moon
Presents a dream genuine,

Simply the light of my love,
As you haunt me enthralled
I hear the sweet doves coo,
In the morning stillness call,

Your photo beams a shout,
As it whispers from my wall,
Silent, as the sun lights out,
Under the moon at nightfall.

Memories swirl in my diary,
I remake what has now fled,
What simple pleasures cry,
In jots for moony tears shed,

Window to worlds now sad,
In faintest light beyond true,
My black haired, lovely lad,
I will always remember you.

Star Gazer
Stopped at a red light
The wait for it to turn green
Asking 'How long has it been?'
As stars guide the night.
Sudden blackout of all light
As dark as an Auschwitz scene
With monsters and fiends
And darkness sets in fright.

Your teeth glowed bright
There was light again
From a poet's pen
I found comfort at your sight.
You barricaded me in safety
And shone the light that saved me.
You should know who you are. You have made me smile a lot lately. I thank you.

Tragic

I write again;
Writing, my blues,
Writing, my bleeding heart;
Writing, my bleeding faith.

I once was like everyone else,
A believer, an optimist;
Then, it hit me, it consumed me:
The truths and the reality.

Now I rot, my mind staring, blank;
My visions, shrouded with darkness.
My everything, painted pitch-black,
My humaneness, destroyed.
A tragedy that did, or did not, happen.

I have taken the path to isolation,
with a fearful heart and a jaded soul
Definitely, it is not a vacation,
but to find out, what was stole


It is a fight-
towards self destruction,
towards self-inflicted pain,
feeding myself a dose of depression
mind you, it's a pleasing mental game


But my fragments are made of frailty
and my mind always betrays me
there is always a lingering shadow
and I am fearing the unknown


They say it's just all in the mind
What can I do, my mind is a disaster
So I decided to go away and find
what my mind can't master


So yeah, I have taken the path to isolation
No need to say good bye,
I'll come back when it's over
I'll come back when I'm whole
Random. Maybe it was my subconscious.

The story of us,
sadly, now a story of past
I know nothing.
