Poem 1

Here We Are Together!

In this world of bitter ends, 

Long lost letter to a friend: 

This is my entry. 

 

I hope this finds you pleasantly, 

Without long regrets or sad bitterness. 

I always thought you were the strong one 

Out of all my useless friends. 

Look at you now! How long it's been! 

Heard you were some famous artist, 

And you fell in love again. 

I always thought you'd save your love for me... 

Oh well... 

 

Can you believe what they're saying on the news? 

All them fakers stealing their own lines 

They call these bandits 'reality stars, ' 

What a laugh it is now. 

I could never imagine selling myself. 

That's something I saved for you. 

Do you remember me? 

Remember how it used to be? 

When we'd share our music in the park, 

We'd whisper lines of poetry in the dark, 

I always loved you. 

 

I don't even know who I'm writing this to. 

If I met them now or later, 

Or maybe it was another lifetime, 

When I was a flower or a bird, 

Or maybe in another world, 

Another galaxy, far off, unknown. 

But you were always the one, the one I shared my stories to, 

And no one really gets it like you do: 

 

You are my chosen one

Poem 2

The cityscapes keep changing

The dark clouds settle in time 

To wash away all the love I gave

Downstream in the gutters of despair 

 

The moments spent on his lap 

Silently conversing through the eyes 

Now only stands as a memoir 

Of how plastic feelings can be 

 

' Meant to be ' and ' Destiny' 

 Now glares at each other 

While I finish another day 

Without a text sent or received 

 

The cityscapes keep changing 

People too change with time 

The self torturing methods give in 

And I smile teary eyed

I wash down the blood from the cuts

Yet another untold story go down the gutters.
