Poem: Enough Care

I've been trying for so long to gather the right words

so it would sound the same in any language,

not to get any meaning lost in translation

everyone has a different understanding

with a different sense for right and wrong

the stories we capture create a ghost town in our lives

unless we make lessons out of them

people cross our path for a reason

under the spell of love it's so easy

to believe lover's lies, yet time

always reveals the right faces

and shows us the fools we've been

others may have seen it all along

and warned us in vain

you can't take back the words and the deeds,

only find a reasoning somewhere beyond the surface

our hearts fight bloody battles

yet they always manage to heal themselves

with enough care

it takes courage to watch the future unravel

free of fears and expectations

in any case, we've got a hell lot to learn

Poem: To find the human

Like a lost cloud in the sea of infinity,

with no connection to any place,

words trapped inside a bubble flow.

There are raging storms in this body of water;

waves rumble in the depths,

shaping the surface from the inside,

guarding pieces that have yet not been broken.

Constantly searching for the calm of rightfulness

Poet stands on the bridge between this reality

and what lays beyond the horizon;

baffled by all the possibilities, extending

dimensions of imagination, to open the eyes

in a world gone blind.

Who does it take to hear the song

of the tales that have long been unsung?

How many layers do we wrap our lives in?

So we can present this picture-perfect scenario

to the eyes of the world,

but loose our own sense of humanity;

What nurtures our dreams?

Living simultaneously as a part in endless stories;

Where do we find a place

to find the human in us?
