Heroes

Posted on by under Poetry

.

When all hearts were empty, when all joy had long left,

Victim of the power of the world’s greatest theft,

In this soundless moment when night is the darkest,

Fell down from the clear sky the angels of star-dust

They knew not what they should be; believed what they must

To vanquish this dark foe, prevent this mad harvest,

But how will they gain trust from all those they protect?

For they are not human, therefore should not expect

Any joy at their sight, no matter if they fight

For the same side, this light, to end the livings’ plight.

In the end they might fall, lost to this great struggle,

Or they might rise and shine if they somehow manage

Their duty, their pride and destiny to juggle;

Fret not, not all is lost, they have one advantage,

One heroes always have: the power of pure hope

And none can deprive them of this long, long trite trope.

Dear younger me

Posted on by under Poetry

.

Dear younger me, remember when I said

That I could do anything? When with the world I played?

Well I’m sorry, really truly sorry, I lied…

I feel like a magician whose hands are tied

Behind his back, or a featherless bird,

Like an unknown and distant creature

Lost so far away from its herd,

Like Ariel, without a voice to nurture,

And Charon or Ra, each day after the other

Having to get up and sail their ships,

And stand before some unending hardships

When my only dream is to lie in bed with no bother…

Yet, all hope is not lost

But, see, life has a cost

And as years pass and my soul grows old

I feel that my heart follows, ever less bold,

However I walk and will keep walking

When I cannot run anymore

Even if I cannot become the king

I will not let my footsteps be limited to the land of bore,

For, though perhaps weakened, the flame of my dreams is still burning

And as long as I can I will keep it so, I will keep yearning.

A bit of free writing.

In inspiration, in tone and in the pickyness over quality.

Feels nice.

For it will be

Don’t let yourself fall over the edge,

Don’t let yourself slip into silence,

Don’t close your eyes in front of the stars,

Don’t leave your heart broken on the ground

But if you do, it doesn’t matter,

Don’t listen to the noise, the chatter,

Pull out this cold, invisible wedge,

Get up again and find your balance,

Give time to heal to your new scars,

Keep hope live, in your chest feel it pound,

Oh friend, take your time, gather your strength,

Walk, I know you can go the whole length;

Remember, happen whatever may,

In this huge world you are not alone,

Though you may feel lost in this unknown

Home is never very far away…

.

Don’t let good or bad prevent you from reaching your goals or take you down for good for, whatever you believe will happen or whatever may happen in reality, it will be as it is and you will have to deal with life.

For it will be…

Dear life

Posted on by under Poetry

Today I woke up early and I went to school

The weather was quite nice though the air was not warm,

I felt the world was interesting and had charm

I didn’t feel ousted nor did I feel a fool,

Despite my tiredness I’ve endured ’till the night,

I went to buy some food, listened to a nice tune,

Though despite my efforts and though try as I might

I couldn’t help but seek for a glimpse of the moon.

I look often but miss, my heart skipping a beat,

And in these instants dwell for a moment too long,

I ponder on my life from my small earthbound seat

And wonder how my mind and my heart move along…

I the end I did see a shooting star pass by,

A quick but brimming sight which eased my dull sorrow,

Ease only but the sage says “Keep hope in tomorrow!”

And upon these wise words, friend, I bid you goodbye.

The eye

Posted on by under Poetry

.

There is this unknown eye looming in the distance,

Glowing as bright as fire there, somewhere in the dark,

And I can never say when I shall see the spark

Or where it will appear, for all my resistance

I cannot ever seem to evade its cold gaze,

It appears not evil nor any kind of good

– In its heart I saw no wicked intention blaze –

Never getting closer but never going far,

It is always around near the edge of the wood

Brightly piercing the world as if a brand new scar.

Though I know its presence, though I know its features,

I know not its purpose, I know not the reason

Why hell, the heavens, or any of their creatures,

Would watch over my soul throughout every season.

The eye has its reasons which my reason knows not

And wondering further would just result in naught…

Angel

Posted on by under Shorts

How do you know?

What?

When you meet an angel. How do you know? I mean… Can you know? How can you be sure?

I… I’m not sure… I couldn’t say… Perhaps, yes. Though I can’t be sure…

Why?

Why what?

Why can’t you be sure?

Because… Well, because… I… I don’t know…

But how would you, if you had to? How would you say?

Uhm… well… probably, I think, someone extraordinary. And beautiful… But not just beautiful beautiful, I mean… Beautiful in their looks of course, perhaps… But also in their kindness, beautiful in their intelligence and in their whole existence… Someone… extraordinary. Someone amazing. Someone who would take your breath away in an instant, someone who would make you go wow… But not just for an instant, someone who would make you go wow each time you saw them, each day, when you would wake up and when you would go to bed. Someone… someone so special, you would be able to see among a crowd of hundreds of people, someone whose voice you could recognize anywhere and that you would even hear in your dreams… Someone you would think about all the time, someone who would think about you too… the same way you think of them…  Someone extraordinary in their ordinariness…

Really?

Yeah, really… That’s how I would describe an angel, that’s how I… I think that’s how I would know if I ever saw one. If I had to say…

Oh…

Why?

Why what?

Why do you ask?

Because… Because I think I found one. An angel I mean. I didn’t see any wings nor a halo but… It was an angel that I saw, I’m sure…

Oh really?

Yeah…

I’m not really sure.

I guess I just felt like it…

Don’t ask.

The powerful luth of Mister Toot

Posted on by under Poetry

.

Suddenly rises joyous sound

Echoing all throughout my mind

But then, rather than my limbs bind,

It takes my body of the ground

And I go up and round and round;

As if I was no longer blind,

As if king I had just been crowned,

I see the world, front and behind,

I let, rather than look to find,

My soul be in this rhythm drowned.

It is as if the world-renowned

Great artist that was long confined

Deep in my mind has come unbound,

As if my spirit was designed

Once to this earthly tune combined

To reach understandings profound…

A flower’s sweet scent

Posted on by under Poetry

.

There is so much to see, to hear and feel,

So much to experience on this wide earth

Once you get the courage to leave the hearth,

And decide the layers of life to peel,

Despite the little time we have from birth

We can see so much of all that is real,

Travel around the world from our own heel,

Dream of that of which we know not the worth,

So why is it that near these petals teal

My ship I cannot help but wish to berth,

What are these feels this flower seems to birthe?

And why can I not help but glances steal?

Amor à lyre

Posted on by under Poetry

.

J’admire, j’adore,

De myrrhe et d’or

Courir – effort –

Quérir l’aurore

Que dire alors ?

Je vire de bord

Ecrire rend fort

Décrire décors

Rougir – horror !

Ô sire ai-je tort ?

Partir, remors,

Avenir retors

Bénir l’ichor

Souffrir du corps

Pâlir d’abord

Maudire le sort

Mourir encore

Sourire qui sors

Offrir dolor

Et rire sonore

Ma lyre cantor

Martyr ténor

Délire dès lors…

Admire Victor

The knot

Posted on by under Poetry

.

In the end we all were there:

The close friends, the family,

Even the forsaken heir.

Knew we each other closely?

I cannot help but wonder

As you descend down under

About all of that which was,

About all that could have been,

In this moment I press pause

And replay all I have seen,

Trying to find the mistake,

Trying to find the tight knot,

I feel all that was at stake

Now that I can help you not…
