Without you

    Without you

    Ocean without water

    Sky without cloud

    my life without you.

     

    In the gathering of friends:

    "life goes on"-- my veneer

    My chest I beat, even till the day goes down--

    "I am a man, I can't be broken"

    This I say, even till the sun comes up.

     

    Let the birds tell it on mountain tops:

    "I am stronger than ever"

    Till all are deceived

    even you

    that I am stronger

    without you.............

     

    But in the middle of the night

    when no friends can see nor ask

    My cheeks dampened with tears

    I commune with myself:

    "Extra" in "Extraordinary" is gone

    Ordinary I have become

    A common man

    water has dried up

    ocean depth has 'come bare

    Smoke has covered the clouds
    inky now is once beautiful-to-behold

    How can life go on?

     

    Sweetie

    these thoughts I write on marbles

    that I forget not

    Don't tell it to my friends

    lest they say I am weak

    I would deny it before my parents

    that I am broken inside

    lest they think me feeble.......

     

    If this ever happens

     

    This, you should know:

    the key to my world is lost

    without you--

    The key to my world

    very open writing,good flow- kept my attention and made me think. enjoied it and will read more of your work latter!

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
