Christopher Soto Poems

Like a shining star, we sat in the sky,
and shined on the world below.
Our burning fire and strong desire,
held us suspended on the black blanket night.
...

You're one in 7 billion struggling to survive,
with just a handful out of the trillions of problems
in which to conquer we all strive.
...

I feel I've awoken from a vivid dream,
met people and been to places that only I have seen.
The idea that I lived in such a beauty of a place,
feels like madness full of sadness which will take months to shake away.
...

Every look into the window of the past,
creates a ripple in the pool of emotions like a stone being cast.
Menacing ghosts like fumes arising from fire
seeping endlessly into present mind and play.
...

Gentle flowing peace in mind
no troubles here or there.
Voices calling, no ones home
eyelids heavy, falling, closed.
...

Tick, the balance taps the pallet
Tock, the balance re-taps the pallet
Tick, The pallet unlocks the escape
Tock, the pallet re-locks the escape
...

A fragment of the mind put forth into realities realm.
Giving birth to an idea once impossibly regarded
by all reason which inside me dwells.
...

I lie whilst lying.
I've given up on denying.
Resurfaced thoughts afloat.
I'm in a park…
...

As pages turn on the gregorian chart,
twelve stages pass us by.

Four smaller construct each of these 12,
...

Sometimes I wish I could retreat into the dark corners of my mind
Where distant memories seem to live on forever.
There I could interact with the past as if it were now,
the the now as if it were the future and the future as if it were never.
