Absent Existence

Absent Existence

A Poem by Ross Emerson Realino

A maple leaf carelessly flows on the endless river
Heading to somewhere, floating downstream
Birds in platoon fade through the clouds of cream
Venturing to somewhere anything is limitless
Sunset closes my eyes as it hides beneath the horizon
Everything is now clearer with my eyes closed
You are now somehow closer to my heart
Watching the rain of fire falling from the sky is somehow tragic
But watching you dream as I dream is somewhat worthful than living

The bottle is where I keep the time alone with you
I'll be sending it to the lonely sea of blue
Where eternity is waiting at the horizon for me and you
Our souls are only coming through in waves
Our hands felt just like two balloons
Lifting us up to where we belong
But I am now all alone again as always
On the chains of clouds where I rest
Watching down people live in illusion and greed

From friends to lovers, they are all just the same
Where I am just another passing day for them
Making me feel like I've never been born at all
All in all, nobody wants to listen to a fool like me
Even my own shadow won't lend an ear
The rainy sky is my only friend
It never let me down to the deepest pain
It never fail, it never falter
But I will always be useless as what they use to say

About
I used to try writing songs before but I can't make one, so I tried to find something where I can put my early works of lyrics. Until they were turned into poems. I started poetry when I was 16 years .. more..
