Distance

The distance to a soul, unknown,

The distance hiding beneath eyes.

A touch away, but ever so,

A touch that only lies.

And would I ever dare to walk,

The distance to a soul, unknown,

I'd seek a bridge, and ever so,

Walk up, up, up... and down.

But as my eyes are made of stone,

And all my dreams of icey nights,

The distance to a soul, unknown,

Are letters mere, a poet writes.

And I could write and write and write,

Chasing old shadows, all alone,

Yet never walking, sadly quite,

The distance to a soul, unknown.

Surreal Poem

I took a pen in fashion pink.

And a tabula rasa.

And burning passion was the ink-

The letters dancing salsa.

I start to write about your eyes

And stars - my destination.

And my sweet blanket are the skies

And clouds – a strange creation.

I write on fog, on rain, on snow,

And hope for the eternal.

And all the words - a perfect flow

For once a dying journal.

I’d wish you'd know they are for you

These rhymes from hell ascending.

But you are real, you have a view...

And I, a shell… descending.

Heaven in Hell (or viveversa)

“But never doubt I love …”

W. Shakespeare

Time is ticking, can you hear,
The spirals waves are sending?
And digging voids to a nadir
above your eyes just pending?

It could be heaven, and yet cold...
And hell might steal your fire.
To all regrets - your soul is sold,
Doubt truth to be a liar.

Illusions of A Too Lost Self

...

I am a wave, of darkness, sorrow.

I am a particle, so hollow

I am the nightmare of a dream

I'm always somewhere in between.

I am a universe of light

I am the essence of the night.

I am a circle, white and black,

I am the serpent, ‘round your neck.

I am an angel with dark eyes,

I am a demon. I'm a dice.

I am the ocean of your mind,

I am the sky, in front, behind,

As ice am I, so frozen, cold.

I am the flames you strive to hold.

I am the passion, so euphoric

And I’m indifference of a cleric.

I'm heaven with hell's flames included

I'm love, I'm hate, so perfect tainted

I am a question, spiral blue.

I am an answer, even two...

I'm the illusion of the day,

I am reality in grey.

I am the dust of stars in void

I am created and destroyed.

I am the center of it all -

I am the limit, I'm the wall.

I am the rain that tastes like sand.

I'm the beginning, I'm the end.

I am the sunshine, gothic glam-

I am, I am, I am, I am...
