I chose life, and left you behind, There is more to life, than just us, I looked at the sky and gained hope. No one is too special, nor too similar, Everyone is unique, With just enough unlikeness within. I chose life, and held it by the hand, I embraced my present, happily, I accepted […]
Dream
I dream of walking on stones, barefoot; it is rough, yet smooth, It brings me comfort To think of something so, It is strong, and secure, What more could one want? As I walk along, I see the horizon, Dreams are closer than you think Poesi av Erick Flores och foto av Mikael Svensson. Bilden […]
Oblivious
She didn’t mean to do it, Running, panting, looking For a reason to turn back, And find home, at last! No one looked for her, No one noticed her. She now walked freely, No screams, no violence. No signs of hate or remorse, No signs of criticism. The sun was about to set, She happily […]
Resistance
I was awakened by the dream tonight, I walked off the ledge and into the light, As I fell I thought of the rhyme, “Tonight” and “light”, a different time. Complete opposites, yet complementary, One has to exist within, supplementary, A full casted shadow during the day, The moon during the night, now replay, As […]
Blur
Saying goodbye is best for us, The distance will only help us, I can’t say I won’t regret it, Nothing is eternal, I admit, I will dream of what could be, It is over the horizon, by the sea, I can see it now, as if it were, But I know it will eventually blur. […]
Existence
It is like a rose, That pierces the skin to the touch Arousing one sense, Infuriating the others; back to rest It is like an emotion, You can’t simply grasp it eternally Nevertheless, a sentiment, That will surely never be forgotten It is like a treasure, That is engulfed in abstract riches It is never […]
I’ll rise
You can tear my walls down, You can shred every curtain, You can shatter every window, It will shine light in the unlit room. You can despise my actions, You can criticize me with disdain, You can persist attempts to halt me, With conscious volition I’ll rise. You heard me approaching, Does my presence offend […]
Can Anybody Hear Him?
He gave up on all last night, It was more than he could bare The pain was splashed on the floor It was translucent, no tracks. These are the easiest to hide Scars so deep, it’s impregnated. As he walks along, a smile, The infamous facade that strikes. No one will feel, what is nibbling, […]
Echo
I thought about you last night, Your presence was invited, I longed to see you, a moment, Patiently, it never came. If I had appreciated you, The times I could call out; Your name was memorable The way it slowly trickled, Like a small, swift river. From my tongue I speak, I ask for another […]
Paradise
I have been in paradise, The so called green grass The many hues of the river The everlasting smell of pine The natural deodorizers The flower’s fragrance They all have impacted Every pore in my being They may seize to exist A product of negligence Let them endure entirely In a perpetual existence Poesi av […]
The Dance
Her choreography is impeccable, Her beauty is anything but absent, The fragrance of her being is inevitable, Her heart’s content state leaks through her pores As she moves a different direction She does not miss a single beat along the way As she approaches me, she immediately shines And at anacrusis begins a new dance. […]
Eternity
Please stay with me Make this moment last God made eternity As a door that both You and I can pursue Don’t leave me here Pondering what happiness May be, when you were The one that completed That beautiful essence Of a true friendship Stay another moment, Don’t go now, not later. Stay, and prosper. […]
Knights
I think about it all the time This morning I pondered it all, The afternoon brought no visible consolation. As I sit and look up, The moon overlooks the dark, Like a lifeless knight. Desperation overwhelms me There is no obvious answer For what is keeping me up Tonight, and tomorrow’s night Throughout the lonely […]
