Nick Kler Poems

Towards the end
of your time
You must be
calm and wise
...

In this quiet
moonlit night
As the whole world sleeps
I hear soft echo's of anklets
...

The moment we parted,14 years ago, me and my daughter, she was hardly 4 years old, in the back of my head I knew it is the end of our day to day life together and in this manifestation froze me, froze us.

Every child I see that age touches the moments I held my child. Every child's sparkle of the eye or lift of a laugh encircles me, warms me and blesses me with the sparkle and lift of my own daughter. When I see them, I see her. And I remember with deep gratitude, a gift that was mine but was never meant for me.
...

People pray to the almighty
Me, your sorrows

They hold on to me real tight
...

O' Dear Heart
Beat for me
A little like this
...

Lover is he who
Never complains of pain
No matter how heavy the load
He has to carry upon his head
...

Modes of our companionship
Are scattered all around us
Still, more scattered are my words
...

No one ever tried to find me
No one ever showed me the way
Not one ever trusted in me
For as far as I can remember my days
...

So lonely are these paths
Dark and formidable
that lead us forward
to our final destination
...

Who knew
Togetherness was gona be so short
Separation makes up my fate
Every moment is spent alone
...
