Leave me alone (2016)
There is silence among the groves
Not a sound nor a groan
I'm far away from the crowds
Pondering, so leave me alone
There is privacy among the forest
My mind is clear of the unknown
I'm beyond society's turmoil
In deep thought, so leave me alone
Peace and quiet among the woods
True serenity is shown
I'm away from the perplexing public
In introspection, so leave me alone
Solitude on the mountain trails
Relaxing as I rest upon a stone
I'm absent from humanity's confusion
I'm reflecting on life, so leave me alone
Writers
There have been many dead souls
Living before me and you.
They were the starving writers
Of their times, never stopping
To give up on their dreams,
While they wrote and typed away
On their ancient typewriters.
They forgot about the pain
Deep within their empty stomachs;
They forgot their pangs of starvation
As they inhaled their ink blotted fingers,
Words and letters fluttering their eyelids
As they exhaled all their emotions etched
On their faces and engraved in their hearts.
