January 2023 - this first poem I wrote with tears in my eyes:
Aimlessly, lovelessly wandering, day after day,
Lost in the banality of existence's way,
A life without love, a life without air,
A heart that's empty, a soul that's cold,
The sun rises and sets, time passes by,
But what's the meaning, what's the reason why?
The routine repeats, a cycle of despair,
A monotonous rhythm, a life so bare,
The world keeps moving, people rush by,
But for the hollow soul, it's all a lie,
The laughter, the smiles, the joy they share,
All of it fades, without love to care,
The heart yearns for something, the mind begs for more,
The heart longs for connection, the soul for care,
But the emptiness lingers, a never-ending war,
The search for meaning, a never-ending quest,
The search for meaning, a quest for hope,
A way out of this misery, a way to cope,
For a life without purpose, is a life half-lived,
A life without love, a life half-blessed.
March - 8 - 2023 - this second poem I wrote with joy in my heart and endless hope shining through my eyes:
I see a glimmer of light, In the eyes of strangers,
A spark of joy, shining bright,
Their eyes and gestures are pure,
In their smiles, I find a cure,
Their laughter echoes, fills the air,
And suddenly, I forget my despair,
For a moment, I am free,
Lost in their contagious glee,
But it's not just them, it's also me ,
For I've learned to love myself anew,
To embrace my flaws and listen to my own roars,
To see myself in a new direction.
I see the world in a different light above,
I see the beauty in those who surround me,
And their love and kindness astounds me.
Together, we share in this bliss,
A feeling that no-one can miss,
For in the joy of strangers and love for oneself,
Lies a euphoria that can't be found on any shelf.
