These are the last days here and it is busy here. Tomorrow I am going on a short trip. I have taken some videos, but it is very raw so I need to edit them a bit. I don’t know if I will find any time to do it before I start my journey back to America. I will try.
Here is a poem I wrote watching the European Soccer… Pretty good.. Netherlands just beat Italy 3-0… The explanation of the poem mmm I will tell in another post.
The Power Within
Surrounded by chaotic contradictions,
The charisma of life with spread out wings,
Oh’ passions sprouted in countless emotions felt,
And how many wonderful ways imaginations flown,
Upon those color filled spread out wings.
Deep inside every mind lives,
The pain and yearning of the unachieved,
Be it the dream of love,
Be it the fulfillment of a dream,
Be it the dynamics of everyday life,
Pain indeed is the part of every path.
Through those paths when one walk,
There indeed are hundreds of hurdles to pass,
Choice of life in front of everyone comes,
In the ways those hurdles one pass.
Some around those hurdles, face down fell,
Some at the first one, perplexed stand,
There are those for shortcuts look,
There are those who look way ahead,
Then there are those who try to go ahead,
With their faces to some long gone past turned.
In all those minds one feeling in common found,
Fear, with the face of a monster unseen,
A monster that changes his face in sync,
With the given situation of the charismatic chaos.
In that fear like candles in a cathedral melts,
Life of many in meaningless chaos.
Oh’ they don’t understand at all,
Embedded in those fears is the power to quell that fear,
The power inside the mind bestowed,
The power to solve every puzzle of life,
The power of mind in strength of faith and belief grown,
A power, most seldom seeks,
Wasted mostly as feelings of youthful charms,
Charms that haunt humanity all their life,
And fertile their own graveyard weeds,
Mankind indeed are the wisest kind,
Mankind indeed are the best of all creations,
Mankind indeed were given the powers of all kinds,
Still many in depression of mind locks life,
And takes the meanings of their life to dust,
Dust with which their material being created.
yes, so often we stand in our own light . . .enjoyed this. Safe journey.

Thank you very much for the advice.
I really appreciate your insight.
Your poetry is beautiful, and it’s so raw, and true, and reigns on the edges of life. It makes me feel as if I’m in the moment, feeling that very emotion. I adore it.
Whenever I read your poems… I am never disappointed.
Hi, I’m Leukos. I hope you had a good vacation. I still not read all poem, it’s hard to me understand it, but I’m curious to know explanation.
Was a bad match for Italians LOL.
Take care.
@Gabriele “Leukos” … Hello buddy, never expected a comment from you here… The poem is about people losing faith in themselves. As I know you are not well versed with the english language it makes it hard for me to explain. How is Jalena, I haven’t heard from her for a long long time. Convey my regards to her.
wow! Great poem….don’t know how I missed it.
