Distant Poems

Distant Words

The distance is very horrific
This path is insurmountable

I want to be there, I will go there
Attitude is changed, life arrived

Distant words
Present words

There is no way
Mind is changed

A Distant Shore

A Distant Shore



Beached upon a distant shore I wondered about my life 

Beseeched by solitude all I could pour out was sadness & strife 

I reached for something in the distance that looked like it was a knife 

It taught me to be indifferent as I knew my thoughts were running rife

A distant childhood

I think of muddy shoes and grass,
Of running fast, too scared to ask.
Scraped-up knees and summer rain,
Hiding tears I can’t explain.

The laughter’s faint, a distant sound,
A ghost of life I never found.
Old photos show a stranger’s face —
I barely know that time, that place.

Behind those walls, the cracks ran deep,
Secrets I was forced to keep.

The Distance Between Us

The distance between you all and I can be so painful
Sitting in traffic to be with you can be so meaningful
It's a bitter sweet feeling though to live so far away 
Our hearts would grow fonder each and every day
Using social network to read what you have to say
You encourage me virtually when my skies

ECHOES OF DISTANT LOVE

[Verse 1]
She said it was just a poem—
Left it trembling on the windowsill,
Ink still wet, like tears she never cried.
But her naked vulnerability,
Unfolded like a secret too fragile to speak.
I felt the chill as the sun fell hard
Behind her silhouette—
Bare, distant, unknowable, a memory marred.

[Chorus]
Oh, how I miss her, the light in her eyes,
The laughter

Distant dreams of paradise

alone i walk the lengths of this world 
you’ve been gone forever and a day

you didn’t say you’d be gone an eternity
when you last said your goodbyes

i wander here alone in my wilderness
while you’re out there on the other side

i walk around chasing the light
in a sky that clocks the time

meanwhile i shed my tears

Equi-distant

Happiness and sadness are equi-distant from each other
It's the speed that makes all the difference
From point to point
A distance travelled in our minds but takes hold of the body
Like a pendulum swinging from end to end
Our souls dim and perspectives flicker
A proud eagle becomes solitary
A vast vibrant field becomes lonely
Words are given innuendoes belonging to

A quiet child, with gaze lost in distant horizons

A quiet child, with gaze lost in distant horizons,
Whispers numbers that float like stars on the infinite sky of night—
The outer world dissolves into an unclear and distant dream,
But within him, constellations illuminate like hot blood, close and near.
He sings an ancient song, born from the silence of the universe,
Brings to light springs hidden in

A Distant Melancholy

A chick plucked off its wing
Down the tall oak branches it sung
A song sung nigh free of yearning
Down the hazy amber elm til its life hung 

Near the shore, a kindred spirit melted its last candle
Melted under the dark night sky, its damping light drew him closer
Resuscitating his clockwork, its hand ticked, he threw himself

Distant love

The sunset knows the tears I hide
It paints the pain I hold inside

Clouds wander through the evening sky
Wondering where have you gone and why

To Breeze I speak in hushed replies
Beyond the seas and foreign trees

they live alone to earn some bread
And whisper dreams to the Moon instead.

Distant Shores

Before we met, you and I were halves,
unjoined except in the wide rivers of our minds. 
We were each other's distant shore, 
the opposite wings of birds, 
the other half of a shell...

We did not know each other then, 
did not know our determination to keep alive 
the cry of one riverbank to the other.

The sharp snap of branches masked the bark of distant dogs

A stolen life. A split-second decision.
Disorganised thoughts, jumbled—
Tangled around an anaesthetised cortex.
Clocks mockingly ticking,
Ticking down inevitability,
As a lone fly buzzes relentlessly around my head.

Swatting at it—it returns mere moments later,
Pestering, always just out of reach,
Festering like a wound reopening, oozing with persistence.
As the slant of the harvest moon traverses its way through splinters in the

A crimson sky breaks the distant shore

“A crimson sky breaks the distant shore”
This kaleidoscope of colours I just adore
I love to stroll by the ever changing sea
At peace with the world, I feel so carefree
 
The sky’s ablaze with scarlet and gold
It’s such a glorious sight to behold
I’ll stay until the sun sinks down low
A cool breeze blows so it’s time

With an unfamiliar phrase, she reassured me.
the fact that clouds are always passing,
Additionally, the burden we are currently bearing
No difference will be made as the night becomes glassy.
We sat there with our legs crossed on the old grass,
Using silence as a form of communication.
The world slowed down, the atmosphere was pleasant,
