Chained in these walls, door to door
Gray, the lack of sun
Gray, the mood among us all
Gray and somber each phrase
Share my life with strangers
I shall not see outdoors
Fake smiles and hope
A lie or maybe two or maybe always
Lets eat together and watch the same old channel
Every day repeat yesterday
Am I on the list today? Is it my turn?
Pump me with more pills
To drown the emotions and thrills
I no longer feel or want to
Rehab, oh rehab
Someone new, lost like so many before him
Shrieks of withdrawal, of never again
How many times? Five, but this is the last
Sure, naive, denial we do share
The hope and disappointment
Of familys that refuse to give up
The hope these gray rooms will teach
What we already learned so many times
The halls we pace, maybe for the last time
This is do or die
I wrote this from memories of a time I wish to forget

To my addiction
I now say goodbye
You have stayed with me
So long and so quite
You thrilled, your rush
Infused in my veins
Decrepit my soul
Bleeding my heart
So alone I have been
And so torn apart
My family and friends
They knew not
Hiding from them
Both, you and I
This is my chance
To come back to all
To live with the love
You don't have inside
I'm thrilled that this moment
Has finally arrived
Not just farewell
Forever goodbye
My hope

Since birth
A world unknown appears
Sounds with smiles or tears
Shapes with colors and form
Moving or still
Discovery in every blink
Sleepless nights of motherly love
Tender touch with soft purrs
Flavors both bitter and sweet
Trace odors, aroma and scent
Confusing as it all seems
It comes together as one large canvas
So new, such wonders to explore
To reach out, to hold, to listen
To capture, to process, to understand
Labels shall come all in due time
To build the walls
To color with shades
Mask what is here
And not see it anymore
Hugo A Sep 2012
When the final leaf, of autumn falls
Bare it leaves, its branch and trunk
Brown the mood, along its veins
Crumpled by grief, the sun is gone
Clouds cover, every inch above
Dry roots, that feed it life
Barren and cold, the soil cannot
Hold on to rain, and keep it moist
Days will come, when wrinkles cover
Tempered bark aged in barrels
Of snow drifted, to its side
By artic winds, from mountains frosted
And if, that day comes to be
Each creek will fill, with pebbles called
One by one, their names in glory
Under a bridge, with planks of wood
From these same trees, standing tall
Digging deep, into our earth
And so the seasons, come to be
With change in, water and in winds
But trees and pebbles, still remain
From the ground to up above
In each tree rests a forrest
Just one name unites it all
It is the forrest, of our life

Be free like the wind
Set sail and behold
Let bars not be jail
As your wings fly now free
Flames abound
Seas of life
Two sides each the same
Let the sun set
As the battle ends
Share hope among
Men of courage
Hugo A Sep 2012
As the sun goes down
And shadows emerge
Black and orange
Mix and blend
In a silent dance
That will return
Some shall go
and others stay
To see more shadows
Who fade away
In deep black and twinkles
That will return
Some shall go
And others stay
To see more twinkles
Who fade away
In deep blue and yellow
Another dance in silence
Day and night
New and old
Present and past
Life and peace
All blend
In this sunset
Of our hearts
Some shall go
And others stay
We stand not still
We move not fall
Constants in motion
Until the end
When we lay
To complete our cycle
A new day
Is ahead
I wrote this while looking at a beautiful sunset

Wooden soldiers, in a golden war
Battlegrounds, with flames and smoke
Terror rises, in hearts of steel
Winners always believe it true
Bitter losses, of existence
Raise all flags, filled with sorrow
Happiness shall come one day
Finding not, the deeper meaning
Starving anger, with inner peace
Distorted thoughts, within the rage
Justice hovers, does not land
To melt the heart, and lead one breath
Chips and ashes, of broken men
Torn apart, while sleeping still
As they are, but do not live
Strive to be, with less effort
Settle down, without a fight
Faced with truth, and knowledge
That piece will win, every battle
