As I close my eyes
I hear moments long gone
Whispers in the dark
In my heart
In my soul
Gentle tears
Flowing down
Lovely doves
Flying by
Make me smile
Let me weep
Pick me up
In your palm
I will live
As I sleep
Hugo A Sep 2012
Warm sand
Gentle breeze
In your eyes
A deep blue sky
An endless sea
Look at me
Look through me
I dare not
In my shame
Footsteps of guilt
Stairway of redemption
Tears of my own fall
Leaves yellow and red
Shades of brown and green
Summer in your kiss
Winter in my embrace
Look at me
Look through me
Tell me what you see
A heart of stone
My soul a black hole
My spirit I cannot find
Swim in the waters
Of my ageless tears
Remorse of the future
Of a past with no name
May it be this way
Until I return
To the soil
Thar saw my birth
Hugo A Sep 2012
I can see in the shadows
the gaze of loved ones
who once gave me all
And now have departed
Still close yet far
I tried, yes I tried
All promises did I break
Crippled by the shame
So alone, so alone
I was one now two
One to see one to hide
I tried, yes I tried
I'm guilty if you wish
To call me such names
I wish deep inside
It would haunt me no more
The images that I see
Are so clear in the dark
My past and my present
All my dreams fall apart
As it eats me away
From loved ones and all
I tried, yes I tried
I feel hopeless and ashamed
I can't tell you my secrets
Just pray for me now
As my world crumbles
I surrender, I surrender, I surrender to you God
Hugo A Sep 2012
Prayers in the essence
Of my being
Hollow tears
Of a lonely heart
Healed for months
And then broken
Kneel and cry
As worlds clash then burn
Thunderous revenge
Inside and out
Of a past unchanged
Yet chained today still
Love long gone
Falling slowly
Down a cliff
It is sight
but so far
Just for others
To hold on
Not within
These cold wlls
Of this heart
With its cliff
Filled with prayers
And communion
Mercy for
Things gone wrong
Search for hope
To rebuild
With new love
For myself
I forgive
You may not
It is ok
As I move on
Hugo A Sep 2012
I look inside, and what is their
Is so strange, just not real
What is their, what you feel
Bolders and pebbles, on this road
On this land, and deep below
You not I, have surpassed
Dark gray clouds, thundering by
Teardrops falling, from above
Down my spine, chill my soul
Let me touch, for a moment
The bright sun, that you hold
Judge me not, this one time
As my child, laughs out loud
Just behind, its other face
With the anger, of it all
Let me hold, for a moment
The sea of calm, that you feel
It takes on, fear and pain
Silent yet strong, its face and surface
But it melts, with the sun
Washed away, by the sea
Cement of clay, with no sculptor
And no mold, to return
Keep your pose, and the smile
Keep on trying, not to fall
Not to melt, or to break
And in trying, to stay still
But I crack and tear, apart this shell
As the feelings, come on board
Tears of sorrow, chills of fear
Come to surface
And this statue
Is no more

Children running free
Children running wild
Let me light you golden paths
Let me feed, your tender growth
Let me teach you
Right form wrong

The line within
You cannot see
But you will learn deep inside
Light is not dark
Shadows do not walk
In the streets of your heart
You will jump back and forth
And so it is throughout life

Rollercoasters of success
Rollercoaster of defeat
Climb on board for your ride
As you twist and you turn
The line within you cannot see
The paths ahead may seem all too straight
Where they lead you do not know

And so you grow
A pendulum in your heart
A shining path yours to follow
The line within you may not see
I will teach and you will learn
And it will guide
Your every step
Hugo A Sep 2012
My bones are dry
My skin powder
My eyes sunken
Into hollow craters
Each finger still
Both hands crossed
In an endless dream
Where only souls go

And yet I know
Now, as then
My heart will still beat
It may seem still
The blood may seem dry
But now, as then
My love for you remains strong

In dark as in light
Beneath this unmovable soil
My memories of you
I know
Now, as then
I will recall
My feelings for you
I will relive

Even the coldest soul
Even the lonliest heart
Will return from
This endless sleep
To join hands
Once again
In an endless dream
