To read the world that I never knew
I rise up to a rooftop view
See the fires behind the glass still flare
In this life that I feel, but I’m not there
& it’s all so easy, sitting so high
Watching images of moments quickly passing by
To a haven of hearts, where all past disappears
With the voice of the outcasts
that are living their best years
Feel the pages turn, the same old song again
Revolution hardly lasts
In the heart of any man
But our hands leave a trace,
our feet change the road
& we stay
In a parallel world,
free from their rules & their way
To seize the night & read the world to you
I’ll look again for a rooftop view
& all we never were could be a new book to be read
A poem filled with dreams of you & words we never said
& we escape the crowd but we never run
Welcomed by a morning that offers no sun
Or a rain so pure that holds no tears
For any regret awakening in our best years
Make the pages turn, it’s the same old song again
Like the fire that’s burning
In the heart
Of every man
That can make his hands write the long story of today
That’ll be a world for him forever to stay

This is dope!
It reads like a song.
You’ve got talent, my friend.
a song is what I wanted it to be 😉 thanks, bro!
I have a weakness for these kind of stories. The seeing, but not holding of life and dreams. Your poems always leave me wanting more!
oh, there’s always more to the story haha thanks a lot 🙂
I agree with Rome – there’s something melodic about this trip that you’re taking us on, and it feels like a privilege to be a part of it. Masterful write, as always, brother!
:):):)
Simply amazing! These are the type of poems that speaks to me.
I’m happy to hear that.. thank you 🙂
I had to revisit this..
“Welcomed by a morning that offers no sun
Or a rain so pure that holds no tears”
This stanza is sheer brilliance. How you thought of this, is beyond me. But I’m so happy that you shared it. Inspiring!
I didn’t think of it.. I just went through it, in a specific moment.. & I’m so happy you liked it… thank you, once again! 🙂
I can’t even decide which line I love the most because this entire piece takes my breath away, as your writing always does!
so happy to hear that 😀
