Akara K. Poems

I tried so hard to hold you back, but to no avail
You slipped from my grasp so easily
Sometimes I can't help but blame myself
Maybe if I was only able to hold on a little tighter
...

Fire, burning fire,
Brilliant flames ablaze;
Crimson, yellow, orange fire
A wild and radiant haze.
...

Running, flaming, chasing
Watching the dust fly
Feeling only anger
Doesn't smile and doesn't cry
...

How do I say this?
I guess I'll start out with 'thank you.'
It's always seemed that I was never really able to explain
How much you mean to me
...

I am seen but unheard
Reticence is my policy
When I walk, there is the rustling of leaves beneath my feet
When I run, the howling of a wolf
...

You know that feeling
Like you're not really there?
Sometimes I just want to sit and observe
And not be a part of life at all
...

Once I met a little boy
Who'd hang his head and cry
Once I met a widow's son
Who watched his father die
...

Let's see you forget me now
Let me see you make me cry
Let me see you walk away now
Make me just curl up and die
...

Lift me up with all your lies
Just to feed the beast inside
Born to live, alive to die
'Monster, ' they cry
...

Reaching out
Heart cries tears of blood
A fiery flood
Where did I go wrong
...
