Soldat of life

(again I need this last post to complete where I am at in my collection)


Tension: chapter 1


Muscles awaking,
Hands blistering.
Legs straining,
Arms enduring.
The mind remains intact,
Only slightly slower than usual.

Rainy days bringing hard times,
Sunny days creating sweat everywhere.
Raking endless leaves and branches,
Letting the mind only concentrate on one thing.
Basic functions controlling every movement,
Relying on others to be guided to another duty.

Rest finally comes in the form of change,
Yet it has not yet been lived so may remain a tension none the less.
Remaining on my feet longer than I sleep,
Appreciating every moment that I sit.
Relaxing upon an anime or two,
Watching MI:3 tonight shall end this long week.

=============================

Tension: chapter 2


Learning to cope little by little,
Finding fun in little things.
Working a heart's desire till exhaustion,
Showing greater determination ever more.
Ascending the path of success,
To where it leads is truly unknown.

Day by day life is anew,
Sunrise distinct from sunset.
First I wash and next I dry,
Off I am to another start.
Red balloons keep me up,
99 of them go by.

Without a motivation all turns blank,
Where shades of grey persist.
Colorless times brings nothing more than confusion,
Coloring every day brings a point where to stand.
A simple song that brings a surge of energy,
That which is necesary to go on.
==========================

Awakening: Chapter 3


Loosing a friend,
Finding an answer.
Growing older through hard times,
Discovering a whole new world.
Not knowing where to go,
Following a sinuous road.

Working till the time has come,
Not yet living to the extreme.
Reaching out to others,
Learning when to keep to oneself.
Wisdom aquired by life,
Priceless for what to come.

Things are lost and found in life,
You never know what will happen.
Sometimes you'll never see again what you saw,
So take each moment in life as a gift that you receive but once.
Grasp it to its fullest with all your might,
But know when to go on...
==========================

Breathing: Chapter 4


Transitions and decisions are made,
Strain weakening slowly the mind.
Going forward none the less,
Entering the eye of the storm.
Calmness taking over,
Turbulence soon maybe to come.

Friends, family and people,
All along the path.
Going about their own lives,
Crossing crossroads from time to time.
Lending a hand when fit it seems to them,
To accept or decline is up to the receiver.

Still things do not stop,
There mustn't be hesitation in what has been decided.
Letting go of certain facts would not be wise,
Creating more confusion in what is to come would follow.
Releasing the strain that is within to go on further,
Taking a deep breath to let it all out...
==============================

Time: Chapter 5


Gathering evermore momentum,
Compression of events in a single mind.
Restriction of choices partially imposed,
Life doesn't stop as experience is gained.
Time after time there is chaos expanding,
Unattended it will not forgive.

Unknown factors coming into account,
Helping hands that bring a spark of hope.
Others do not always comprehend,
As understanding is never easy.
Motivation leads the way,
Unrelenting as always.

A road ends after so little time,
Unimportant yet present none the less.
Exploration of every direction leading to comprehension,
Complications arising without any stops.
Laying ahead in the mists of time,
Things are remembered and others are lost...
=============================

Chapter 6 doesn't exist I guess...so...


Chapter 7: Lucky Number seven


What is destiny when life does not flow smoothly?
Where does time come into play in this so called intricate orchestration?
Dates and age have no meaning,
And yet I grow when they align.
Blazing ideas that make me go further on,
Lost in the confusion of all around me.


Culminating times where the beast should appear,
No signs that he is to come.
Interpretations wronged at every turn,
Only errors may bring results.
Luck has no substance whatsoever,
Winning is only half of the prize.

Never ending grounds that shift under my feet,
Growing thinner or thicker at every step.
A child looking at the sky with innocent eyes,
His thoughts falling upon the idea of freedom.
Still the gap is far far away and out of sight,
The choice has not yet been placed upon...
===================================

Good evening


Withering without a single petal,
Lost beyond the tides of the endless sea.
Flowing waves without water,
Air passing by without a breeze.
Pondering about what life has to offer,
A lost soul watches the day turn to night.

Holding on to a fleeting memory,
Waking up in a world of bliss.
Tears falling in the world of consciousness,
Smiling at what is at hand.
Engraving every last second,
Before all is forever lost.

Waking up once again,
Taking a breath to feel the air all around you.
Taking a shower to clean your body,
Feeling it pour gently on your skin.
Saying words of various meanings,
Known only to those who are a part of your life.

Saying good evening to a dawn that has long ago passed,
Yet its true meaning is far from what it was intended for…

=========================================

Randomness (kinda rhyms so not so random)


Flying by the eternal skies,
Growing older as time flies.
Treading along random paths,
Going where you need to fast.
Accumulating strain upon yourself,
Endlessly life is taken away as a theft.

Cowering before yet another crime,
Distancing yourself in the face of time.
Yielding to the simple path,
Where you will inevitably recieve the shortcut's wrath.
Filling your experience of unresolved mistakes,
Letting yourself flow in a mirror of fakes.

Ending abruptly I must do,
Life cannot wait for what I will undo.
Leaving behind what is unfinished,
Quitting as what remains is quenched.
Riddles and mysteries leading to truths,
Holding back the enigma that lurks in our roots...
===============================

Flirting with life


Wave a hand at a stranger,
Live a moment full of mystery.
Solve a riddle in your mind,
Answered before you could imagine.
Forget all that you've learned,
Waiting for something to occur.

Silenced tears resound all around,
An icy breath leaks a bloody sentiment.
Taming oneself before it is too late,
Death does not come to those who desire it.
Fear without a doubt of the mind,
Flickering into reality the shadows come forth.

Why do we always misunderstand?
What makes us what we are?
Do we truly learn to desire?
Will we ever know the truth?
Whatever comes is in the future,
Faraway or beyond the corner of your life.
=============================

And for now...it is...

TO BE CONTINUED!!!
