Reality complex beyond imagination
Beneath every speck of light
Lurks a shadow dark
Behind a mask of genial smile
Walks a human shattered
As the earth stands ravaged
We seek peace in a parallel universe
Solace in a heaven unseen after death
Sidestep reality of the living deads

Poetry is my passion. I am not a methodical writer. I have no set topics to write about. What I feel, perceive, think about, I will like to share in this blog. I open my mind to the world. Like the weather, sometimes my poems are cloudy, sometimes stormy. I always like to see sunshine streaming through the leaves of trees, so I hope I can share some of those sunshine with my readers.

I like the contrasts in your poem, the lights and shadows of our existence. Beautifully written, profound, philosophical and spiritual.

Thanks Marta.
Sometimes I think our existence itself is a paradox. We are gifted with the ability to think and then we use that ability to blow ourselves up into oblivion.

Yes, that is our sad reality. Thank God there are always people preventing humanity and our planet to still get worse. I love how you awake consciousness through your poetry. Always a pleasure to read you.
