She used to see him every day,
Their paths crossed one day,
He smiled,she blushed, 
They stopped being strangers that day.

Sleek blurred silhouettes
beneath colored umbrellas
shun falling silver.
On the path to golden sun
strangers all walk together.

On the blue portrait of us
Were just two strangers
No destination in mind
Every port just looks the same

The Sky

High.
A king is nothing,
Without a crown.
The sky, like strangers meeting,
Tense, alert, quiet.
This colossal being ... seeing.

in a sunny afternoon

With yesterday still fading

An old man lives with strangers

Premium Member too fearful to go out

a string of strangers
she lives with daily danger
homicide victim

retired recluse
for years too fearful to leave
made no difference

Strangers

Willow tree leaning, hunched
Weeping leaves into steams skipping
Over stones and decaying twigs.

Ships that pass unseeing
In the shade.

Who wants to live long life
       always run from the danger
    aside from stray outsiders bullets
   away  from friendship of strangers

Pretty Girls Don'T Cry

I search for a home in the strangest places
Look for love on strangers faces
Can’t say hello without a goodbye
But pretty girls don’t cry.

We meet with our pasts unknown
In the present state
You judge me, I judge you more
Thinking your thoughts and future

Strange Strangers

Strange strangers in my room 
Trying to find some skulls and bones 
Like it will save them from doom 
When the time for reaping comes

Meeting
At last
Never strangers though at times lonely
Meeting at last: our one and only

The Plague

Who brought us the plague?
"The strangers", they cried - "kill them!"
And the plague just laughed.
