The Roaring Storms Pursue Us

The storm becomes darker roaring like a lion, Freezing the pieces that are left behind this broken heart, Times up… What we once knew isn't clear anymore, Once lovers are now zombies chasing us in this apocalypse I call life, Our haters that bully us become our worst nightmares, But yet they give us fuel to keep going, not giving up half way there, Stay strong, young one, By the way is ok to be alone with no one by your side, I stay away far away from everyone, for I do not trust society, Not even my own shadow do I stand close to… Among us are crowds of strangers, Some happy...some down... Others fuming in a terrorizing sound And as I am surrounded, Though I am positively crowded, I am so desperately alone here As if these strangers never existed.. As if existence itself is merely a dream, A sleeping dragon's never-waking nightmare, Withholding wisdom that a mere figment of the imagination Could never DREAM to attain Locked in this chamber of disdain Oh how long have I waited For some seaside rain For the antidote that will heal all of these infected To find true love resurrected Don't be ashamed of this hope that clings on Do not be torn by the majority that say you are wrong... For within the depths of hate and darkness, An indestructible strength will emerge Immune from life's sickly, demented surge A unique blood running through the body and soul Creating in you depth, endurance...and control Your heart will glisten in the tears all around Because no matter what happens, you will always be moved You will NEVER become a heart of stone But a martyr fighting for what's right In the hope that someday Darkness will meet light In a balance that will only generate Smiles...and bountiful laughter The storms will roar on in pursuit of our souls... But their blows are so far behind us as we soar Into an endless ocean-shimmering sky Only love will drive us—and the rest that binds us— Say goodbye -A collab with my good friend Guillermo Soto!!! Thanks for writing to me, love!
