"WHEN I CAN NO LONGER BREATHE YOU"

(my first new poem this year)

silence permeates the air...
a chilly-like atmosphere envelopes this dark night
with the stars and the valiant moon's light
the ones only illuminating
this maze-like path to nowhere...
you were once a strong presence in my life
made sense to a once weary soul
wrap up in the darkness, alone, and bewildered
an echo whispering sweet nothings to my ears...

when I can no longer breathe you
'tis the time the heart chooses not to feel anymore...
when I can no longer feel the closeness of you
'tis the time the heart chooses to just sleep and wait for eternity...
(to be continued)

WHERE WILL I BE?

I'm living like a hermit

Inside this solitary forest

Where one can find strange creatures

that come perking up to my great surprise.

Some gigantic, some hardly seen

Some serene, yet a disguised beast

Where will I be when tomorrow sets in

When the radiant rays of the sun

Would wake me up from this dream?

A long winding road is ahead of me

Crossroads at the corners of my eye

Where will it finally take me

Maybe to a place where I really want to

Continue living with my long awaited love...

AM I REAL ?

Lost in a tavern far beyond your wildest imagination

Caught up in a glaze twisting and wondering

What could have been if I would turn to a different path

Far away from this maze.

Am I still real for being this uptight over this dilemma

While you are preoccupied with your never-ending drama?

Am I real or am I not? Is this me or just a silly dummy

At times I feel as though I'm out of my own body.

I chose to immerse in this tantamount abyss

Looking at the mirror now I find a total mess

Yes, you 'd utter scary as it may seem

Got my own self to finally redeem.

Am I real for feeling this intensifying longing

This upturns and downturns is really sickening

I yearn one fine day would be given to me of being set free

From these chains I am in and simply remain being me!
